Today was unlike most days in summer for me and Regina. There were unusual days where we would just talk about us, us looking into the future that is and how we already regret our past today. We wanted to stop the regret in the present but we didn't know how since we weren't the same people back then.
Today we finally gave ourselves a break. There was a project we still had to focus on, that and desperately trying to keep the cool air in the house with 80 degree weather outside. Her mom had a system of keeping all the windows open at night so the cool air gets in and closing them all at 5 am. Surprisingly it did the trick. She was sitting on her bed while I was at her desk. Both of us not needing to speak to each other yet except for the occasional check in.
Which was what I needed to do right now because all of the articles I searched had a charge, and I was hoping I didn't have to cave.
I didn't feel like it though, sitting down for so long was starting to get to me.
After a while, I got to the point where I was staring at my laptop so long my eyes would get blurry, and I was starting not to care enough to focus them again.
Then, in the corner of my eye could I see Regina shift. All of my senses would come alive every time she moved. She laid back on the bed and stretched, her back arched revealing more of the smooth dark skin of her stomach. Her right leg crossed over her left as she sat up again resting back on her palms. She looked at me with those pretty brown eyes and smiled a bit when she saw me checking her out. I had to at least ask.
"Wanna take a break?"
"Eh...I wanna finish college."
"How? You never finish college college finishes you."
She rolled her eyes, "Who knows maybe Ill be the one to change the system for good."
I just stared at her goody two shoes ass.
"Make bad choices!"
"No Satan my moms here."
"Didn't you say that she's cool."
She moved her laptop to her side, laid down and looked up at the ceiling before telling me,
"She's cool, because I respect her."
I rolled the chair over to the side of her bed. A thought came to mind but I didn't want to make her more tense than she already was. All I ended up saying was, "Lets watch a movie," and thankfully that was all she needed.
We ended up watching a few episodes of How to Get Away With Crimes. Staying partially invested in the story, while also comparing the characters to people we know in our lives and laughing ourselves stupid. She smiled so brightly I wanted to kiss her so I asked her if I could, she turned the volume down and we ended up making out. I got lost into her mouth and the taste of her candy flavored lip gloss between us. We parted for air and she held my chin up so I would look into her eyes.
"Regina!"
Parents, it's almost like the doctor never cut the umbilical cord.
"Dam we still have our clothes-"
"Shut the fuck up!" I raised an eye brow at her. She whisper yelled that as if her mom was across the room.
