Run Away Child

Brownies and ice cream

“Not really. I like being alone. I don’t like being popular.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. Why do you think I'm always listening to music and barely talk at school? I don’t like people.”

“But you go to parties and talk to people.”

“It is a party. I would rather be with you, doing a face mask, being goofy, and cuddling while watching a movie. That sounds better than a party to me.”

“Well, from now on we aren’t going to parties and stuff like that because I agree. The only reason I would go is because I thought that you and Mirza loved to party.”

“Mirza does, I don’t.”

“Well glad I am finding these things out now rather than later. Anything else?”

“Not off the top of my head. I'm going to drop you off then go shopping. By the time I am done you should be as well. I love you and have fun.”

“I love you too and I promise I will put everything away like we agreed.”

He kissed me and I left. I drove off and went to the store. I bought all of the essentials and some snacks. I bought some of his favorite snacks and some of mine because tomorrow I wanna have a movie night. I loaded everything into the car and drove to the school. 

When I got there I saw Serina against the fence and it looked like she was waiting for me. She saw me and she started laughing.

“What, want round two?”

“You see, I might not be able to fight, but my sisters can.”

“Girl, you are fighting me because I told you to back off of MY boyfriend? That’s a new low.”

I started laughing.

“Honey, call your sister. I’ll have Jordan go home and deal with the food while I handle this cause you have to be on some serious drugs.”

She looked like she was going to pop a blood vessel. I got closer to her and said in a soft voice.

“Or, you can handle your own petty fights.”

“Or maybe I can get them to send you to the hospital and I can steal Jordan from you.”

“Why do you want my boyfriend so bad?”

“Because I have a history of dating the most popular guy at the school.”

“Oh so you are a hussie. Okay.”

She pushed me and I started laughing.

“You really wanna do this again?”

“This time you won’t hit me.”

“Why’s that?”

I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. 

I turned and saw a girl that looked like an older version of Serina.

“Because I'm right here.”

“And you are?”

“Her sister.”

“Cool. But my beef is with her because she swung at me and tried getting with my boyfriend after he told her to back off and proceeded to continue talking.”

“Sounds like my sister.”

“Control her please. You seem chill and I don’t know you so I don’t want an issue with you, but your sister will catch these hands if she doesn’t knock it off now.”

“I hear you, but it’s a boy.”

“I know. He and I literally live together.”

“Sis, back off this one.”

“No.”

Serina’s sister looked her in her eyes.

“Test me and I won’t hold this chick back next time.”

“My name is Sophia.”

“That’s really pretty. My name is Camilia Vargas.”

“Vargas? Cartel Vargas?”

She started laughing.

“I wish. She’s too soft.”

“True. But seriously tho, you seem cool. Lemme give you my number and we can chill sometime.”

She handed me her phone and I put my number in.

“Well this backfired.”

Camilia and I looked at each other and started laughing. Jordan came sprinting towards us and he didn’t stop, he just picked me up and started running around. He ran back over to the girls with me over his shoulder.

“Hey I'm Jordan, Sophia’s boyfriend.”

“I can tell. No wonder they were fighting over you. You are really attractive.”

“Thank you but my girlfriend is literally hanging on my shoulder.”

“Oh I wasn’t flirting. You aren’t my type.”

“Ouch.”

“Don’t take offence. I'm gay.”

“Just don’t hit on Bubby.”

“Who?”

“It’s her nickname that I gave her to make her mad.”

“Wow.” She laughed.

He set me down and I gave him a kiss.

“How was practice?”

“Good. The new guys are doing pretty well.”

“That’s good. And the blind side?”

“He’s quick. He is going to be the reason I go to the NFL.”

“He’s not the only reason.”

“True. I have you as well. My little good luck charm.”

“Good luck charm?”

“I haven’t lost a game since we started dating. My little good luck charm.”

“Well that’s just adorable.”

“Yeah. We have plans on getting married after college and before he gets drafted. Coach says that Jordan is the best quarterback that he has seen in over twenty years.”

“Yep, well it was nice meeting you Camilia but we have to get home so I can unload the groceries.”

“Nice meeting you too.”

Jordan and I walked off and got to the car. He took his shoulder pads and his shirt came up with it. A group of girls walked past and I decided to do what every girlfriend would do.

“Look as much as you want! But touch him and you will lose your eyesight and your hands.”

They all took off and I started laughing.

“You are terrifyingly crazy.”

“You love it though so you can't hate.”

“You are so right about that.”

I handed him the keys and we got in the car. He drove us home and I helped him carry everything inside. While he put the food away I was looking for a movie for us to watch. 

“I'm going to take a shower and when I get out we can watch whatever you want. Just no chick flicks.”

“Deal.”

He got in the shower and I remembered that Mirza bought me some red lingerie as a joke thinking that I would never wear it but still bought it. I walked to the room and went through my side of the dresser. It was dark red and it was really bold. I put it on and looked in the mirror. I looked bold and it made my body look really good.

Jordan turned the water off meaning that he was getting out so I hurried up and put on some matte red lipstick and waited for him to walk in. I sat on the bed and crossed my legs. He walked in with a towel around his waist and when he saw me his jaw dropped.

“Wow. I, I have no words.”

“Not an issue. Come here.”

He walked towards me and grabbed the back of my hair, pulling it backwards.

“You like that don’t you?”

“You know I do.”

He chuckled and bit his lip.

“That drives me crazy.”

“This? Biting my lip?”

“You have no clue.”

He did it again then kissed me. I moved and I scooted back. He climbed on the bed and his towel started falling off so I grabbed it and threw it across the room. 

“So we are on that level-”

I grabbed his face before he continued talking. I kissed him some more and guided his hands to the back of it so he can undo it. He slowly started unzipping it and started kissing my neck. He pulled it off of me and started smiling. He reached over to the dresser drawer and pulled out a condom. 

He put it on and started kissing me again. He slowly put himself inside of me and started getting faster. I rolled him off of me and got on him. I started riding him and he tried to hide his moan. As I got faster he got louder and so did I.

“babygirl, I'm going to bust.”

I got closer to him and said in a soft voice, “Good.”

He flipped me off of him and turned me so I was in doggy. He got behind me and pushed my back down further. He put himself in and started going deep. He started going faster and faster and I got louder with every thrust. I felt him get softer which meant that he came. He was out of breath and lied down next to me. 

“Wow, that was amazing.”

“It really was.”

I kissed him and tried to get up. My legs were numb again.

“Jordan.”

“What’s up?”

“My legs. They are numb again.”

“Really?”

“Yeah. I can’t get up.”

He got up and put a pair of boxers on. He walked over to me and got on his knees. He started putting pressure on them and I could feel it but barely.

“I can feel you but barely. I’ll be okay in the morning.”

“You better. I don’t want to go to the hospital.”

“Me neither. But can you get water?”

“Yeah, I’ll be right back.”

He got up and walked away. I started moving my legs around with my hands and regained a little bit of feeling. When Jordan came back he had two waters in his hand and in the other was a bag of chips of some kind.

“I got cheese puffs.”

“I can see that.”

“Here's the water and the cheese puffs. I’ll grab you something to put on.”

“Thank you.”

He walked over to the closet and pulled out one of his tee shirts. Then he walked over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of panties.

“Here.”

“Thank you.”

I put it on and the tee shirt was a little baggy on me.

“You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.”

“Well thank you.”

There was a knock at the door and Jordan threw on a pair of sweats on and a tee shirt. He ran to the door.

“It’s just Kyle and the boys. I’ll be right back.”

“I’ll be good.”

I slowly tried to get up and I was steady enough to walk to the dresser and throw on a different pair of his sweats. I walked to the living room slowly holding onto the wall.

“Sophia, what’s with the lipstick?”

Jordan’s eyes got wide and sprinted over to me. We walked to the bathroom and I took it off.

“Well I guess we know what they were doing.”

They all started laughing. We walked back to the living room and we were both really red.

“So, do we even want to go to your guys’ room?”

“Bad idea.”

“Why?”

“Well, if you wanna see-”

“Sophia, no.”

“Why? We are already caught.”

“Yeah but they don’t need to know that.”

“But why can’t we know?”

“Because that is personal.”

“Jordan, it’s not like none of them have done it.”

“But I don’t care. Mine.”

“She’s all yours bro. We just wanna know what you were doing.”

“How about this, you buy everyone food, and we will tell you what happened.”

“Deal. What am I ordering?”

“Pasta bowls.”

“Okay. Now while I order the food Sophia, spill the beans.”

“When Mirza and the girls took me out they jokingly bought me umm, lingerie, and I put it on for the first time today. When Jordan got out of the shower, it was the first thing he saw and well, you can put the pieces together.”

“And the lipstick?”

“It’s dark red and black.”

“If I'm being honest, it’s the sexiest thing I have ever seen in my life.”

Kyle and the boys looked at him then me.

“Can I-”

“Whatever it is, if it involves seeing it, no.”

“But why not? She doesn’t have to put it on, I just wanna see what it looks like.”

I looked at Jordan and he looked like he wanted to kill him.

“I have pictures of when I put it on at the store and when it was on the hanger.”

“Can I see?”

“Sure, I’ll be-”

“No.”

“I'm only going to show him what it looks like, these pictures of me in it are for you and only you.”

He looked at me and bit his lip.

“Stop. NO. Do not do that to me right now.”

I got up and walked to the room. I grabbed my phone and pulled up the pictures of the lingerie and showed it to the guys. 

“Sophia, I swear to God if my girl wore that, I would lose my mind.”

“Jordan definitely did.”

“What did he do?”

“At first he couldn’t say anything but he eventually jumped my bones and after I could barely walk. If I'm being honest, I can barely walk right now.”

“Jordan! Don’t kill the girl!”

“I wasn’t trying to but she can’t complain. She knows she loves it.”

“Jordan I swear to God I will tell them.”

“If you tell us I’ll buy you whatever dessert you want.”

“Brownie and chocolate ice cream.”

“Deal.”

“Sophia, I will throw you on the bed.”

“Act like that isn’t how half the times we have had s*x started.”

“Sophia! Fine my turn. She likes hair pulling.”

“He loves it when I ride him.”

“This is juicy.”

“Just like she gets when I grab her by the-”

“Jordan stop!”

“No don’t you dare stop. This is just starting to get good!”

“She has said both of those to me before.”

I threw a book at him.

“Hey! You started it!”

“And if you don’t stop you are sleeping on the couch.”

“Wow.”

“Or no puppy. You decide.”

“Wait, you are getting a puppy?”

“In the summer.”

“What kind?”

“French Bulldog.”

“Awe, they are so cute.”

“I know. That’s why we picked them.”

There was a knock at the door.

“Might be the food. Sophia, can you help me?”

“Yep.”

We got up and walked over to the door. I opened it and I saw Serina.

“Serina? What are you doing here?”

“To fight.”

“We have gone over this-”

Before I could say anything she slapped me across the face.

“Outside.”

I chuckled and looked at Jordan.

“No one touch their phones. No video and no cops. Don’t stop me unless she in unconcious.”

I walked out after her and we went downstairs. She was standing there with a few of her girls. 

“They can't fight if you try to jump me. Let me call two of my girls.”

“Against seven of us?”

“Three against seven? I like my odds.”

“Call them.”

I called Kaitie and Brianna. Both said they will be there in a few minutes. We stood there waiting for them to arrive.

“I just have to ask, why do you want to fight me so bad? I don’t know you.”

“You don’t remember me do you?”

“Obviously not.”

“Nick. You ran with that crowd and stole him from me. So now I am going to take Jordan from you.”

“If you want Nick you can have him. But after he gets help. He doesn’t need a relationship right now.”

“And why is that?”

“Family matters. He is practically my brother now.”

“Well, Jordan is also more my type.”

“Well.”

I walked over to Jordan and grabbed his face. I made out with him and I could tell that he loved it and hated it at the same time. I looked back at her and she looked like she was going to kill me.

“Use that rage. It’ll help you.”

Katie and Brianna pulled up right then. Katie got out of her car and walked right on over while putting her hair up.

“So, who’s first?”

“Me and Serina. Her girls jump in, you two do.”

“The three of us against the seven of them? That seems fair.”

I started laughing and so did all of the boys.

I stepped up to Serina and got close.

“Swing first.”

She took that as a challenge and as soon as I saw her arm drop and her foot step back I went low and hit her in the stomach. We went down and I got up way faster than she did. 

“Use that rage.”

She charged at me and I stepped to the side.

“Keep your hands up. You’ll have a chance if you do.”

She put her hands up and started jabbing at me. As soon as she hit me a third time I looked at Jordan. I looked back at her and when she went to hit me again I grabbed her arm and twisted it behind her back. I shoved her to the ground and bent her wrist. She screamed.

“I twist it some more and it snaps. If I bend your elbow and it will pop out of place. You move and I will dislocate your arm entirely. Your girls move and I will do worse to each of them.”

I looked at the boys and Jordan and I have never seen him so proud of me. I looked back at Serina and I twisted her arm just a little bit more to teach her a lesson.

“Show up to my home again and I promise you, you will crawl back to whatever hole you came from. Don’t come near me, my boyfriend, my friends, or Nick ever again. Do you understand me?”

She didn’t say anything so I twisted some more. She screamed.

“I twist it anymore, I break it. So I will ask again. Do you understand me?”

“Yes!”

I let her go and she dropped to the ground. She bent over and held her arm. I squatted down and got close so only she heard me.

“Look, I'm tired of this. Do something stupid like this again and I promise you, you will wish I only broke your wrist.”

I got up and walked over to Katie and Brianna.

“Thank you for coming so fast. I didn’t feel like getting jumped tonight.”

“That was the coolest thing I have ever seen. Where did you learn to do that?”

“Pro boxing for almost four years.”

“Wow, well we have to get home. Love ya!”

“Love ya!”

I walked over to the guys. When I wasn’t looking Serina ran up and punched me. I turned around and we started fighting then Brianna and Katie got out of the car immediately and started fighting Serina’s girls. I hit Serina a few more times before I kicked her in the ribs then punched her in the side of the head which made her go unconscious. Serina’s girls picked her up and brought her to the car. 

Katie and Brianna nodded at me asking if I’m good. I nodded back then they left. I turned around and looked at the boys who looked terrified.

“Now, let’s get inside and wait for our food.”

I walked up the stairs and I heard them talking about what happened. I sat down and waited for them to calm down.

“Does she fight you like that?”

“No! If she did I would be in the hospital.”

“Where did you learn to fight like that?”

“I did pro boxing for almost four years. That was before I got popular or whatever.”

“That’s really cool. Did Jordan know?”

“Found out today when they fought the first time at school.”

“I don’t really like to talk about it.”

“Why?”

“I don’t like getting a lot of attention. That’s why I said no videos. Because no matter how ‘popular’ I am, I prefer to be alone or with only a few people. Not a crowd.”

“Well that was impressive.”

“Can we not talk about it?”

“Fine. back to the topic of you two getting freaky.”

“Dear Lord help me.”

“Only a few more questions.”

“Fine?”

“Have you given him head?”

“No! I would never.”

“Why?”

“I find it gross. He loves eating me out on the other hand.”

“Alright then. Question number two is when was your first time together?”

“Nick and I had just broken up and he saw me out with a few of my girls and let’s just say I wasn’t exactly in a great place. I started drinking and smoking way more than I would. So we went back to his place and we talked for a few hours and I sorta made a move by jumping his bones.”

“Sophia! I would never expect that from you.”

“I know.”

“Question number three, did you ever have s*x with Nick?”

“Yeah, I was wondering that as well. I never asked because that’s my brother but I wanna know.”

“No, we didn’t get serious like we are. We didn’t even get serious enough for him to give me his clothes unlike right now where I am wearing your shirt and sweats.”

“I know, and you look adorable.”

“Cringe factor.”

“Shut up. You just wish you had a relationship that lasted longer than two weeks.”

Everyone started laughing and Ollie got mad.

“That hurt you know. At least I didn’t mess up one brother's career and is going to mess up the other ones. Even the coach called her a train wreck.”

“Ollie, what is wrong with you? Why would you even say that?”

“She started it!”

“Mine was a joke. I didn’t mean to be mean about it.”

“Whatever you say Sophia. You are just going to mess up Jordan like you did Nick and neither one of them are going to go to the NFL because the both of them got involved with you.”

I got up and slapped him across the face. He stood up and he towered over me. Everyone else stood up. I kneed him in the balls and when he leaned over I grabbed him by the back of the neck and dragged him outside. I dragged him down the stairs and shoved him.

“Never show your face here again.”

“Come one Sophia.”

“No! That wasn’t necessary. Leave before I do something I will regret.”

He walked over to his car and got in. I walked back up the stairs and went to the bathroom. I shut the door and locked it. I sat on the floor and rocked back and forth silently. I heard a knock at the door and the door handle rattle. There was silence for a minute and then the handle started rattling again. Jordan opened the door and sat down with me. I leaned over and rested my head on his shoulder. 

“What if they are right?”

“You know they are wrong. He was just mad because you called him out.”

“But still, he didn’t have to say that.”

“They are the only ones who think that about you. Everyone else thinks that you really are my good luck charm.”

Right then the rest of the boy filled into the bathroom and started sitting wherever they could. 

“Sophia, we haven’t lost a game since the two of you started talking. If anything you bring the team good luck.”

“But it doesn’t feel like that sometimes. If we break up-”

“First of all baby, that is where you are wrong. We aren’t breaking up. It’s just not going to happen. I love you too much for that. We are going to be together for the rest of our lives.”

“I hope so. Man, this is the second time you boys have seen me have a mental breakdown.”

“You are one of us. If you are feeling down the rest of us feel it.”

“Man, I don’t deserve you guys.”

“Well you are stuck with us for the rest of your life cause I am going nowhere. Because you see, you have helped me with God knows how many relationships.”

“Because of you my girlfriend and I are completely honest with each other and we are still together after two years.”

“I’m not a player anymore after you slapped the sense into me.”

“Well alright then, don’t get soft on me boys.”

Everyone started laughing. We got up and walked back to the living room.

“Changing the topic to something other than relationships and fighting because that didn’t end well.”

Right then the door knocked.

“That better be the food. If it’s not, whoever is on the other end is getting jumped.”

We started laughing. Kyle and Jordan opened the door and thank God that it was the food. They put everything on the table and I grabbed a bunch of plates and forks.

“Alright, who’s ready to eat?”

They laughed. We ate and then Kyle handed me my brownie and chocolate ice cream.

“You are so weird.”

“How?”

“Ice cream and a brownie? That’s weird.”

“Try it.”

I put some brownie and ice cream on the spoon and gave it to him. He looked at it skeptically. He put it in his mouth and his eyes lit up.

“Make fun of my dessert choices again. Don’t lie, it’s amazing.”

“It’s so good!”

“Exactly.”

I sat back and ate my brownie and ice cream while they talked. Jordan looked at his watch.

“Lord it’s late. Who’s spending the night?”

They all looked at each other.

“I am. My parents would kill me if I walk in at this time. I’ll just tell them the truth tomorrow.”
