FG
It had been a few days since the party. I've been hanging around the group here and there, but I still have this voice in my head that urges me to act on impulse each time I see Ray.
On Thursday I nearly asked to come over when I noticed the shop was open. As soon as I found the courage to push myself off the wall and enter, a customer walked inside.
Tonight seemed no different. I was walking through the neighborhood filming anything that seemed interesting. Just as I turn onto a new street I notice a familiar head of locs crouched down by a bush.
" Ray?" I call out
He turns around a puts a finger to his lips, signaling me to stay quite. As I approach him I notice something moving in the bush.
For a moment I watch in silence as he attempts to coax the animal out. Slowly bringing my camera up in an effort to capture the moment, it runs off leaving Ray with a small pout on his face.
" Someone's up late." He says shoving his hands in his pockets as he stands up.
"I couldn't sleep," I retort. "Sorry about the...cat?"
he lets out a low chuckle, "It's fine, it wasn't that happy to see me anyways."
Ray turns around and motions with his head for me to walk with him.
"You're parents like you being out this late" he teases
"They really don't care as long as I'm in before 12am," I say fiddling with the strap of my camera,
he hums in response.
"W-what about you?" I stammer out remembering I had to continue the conversation,
"just bored" he says. After a few feet he glances at me. " I think I promised you a free visit. You down to come over?"
I feel my heart pick up, "Yea, if its cool with your people- I wouldn't want to intrude" I say rambling.
"Dude chill, my moms at work." he says leading me towards his front door.
As he pushes the front door open a cat walks into the foyer,
"So you had your own cat at home?" I ask teasingly as I close the door behind me
" chill on me, she don't care.." he says despite removing his hoodie before reaching for the cat. As he picks it up he turns towards me babying the kitty. "This is petunia."
I raise an eyebrow
"I don't wanna hear no shit about her name. She's a lady" he quickly retorts
I raise my hands in protest as I let out a small laugh, " I wasn't gonna"
he turns around again leading me through his house. As we walk to what I presume to be his bedroom I take in the woody environment. All the baby photos I could pick out were stored in mind for closer investigation.
As we reach his room he releases petunia before letting us in.
"Make yourself comfortable" he says while closing the door.
His room was filled with different collectibles, he had magazines and vinyls in a box next to a cluttered desk. Most notably, His CD player was surrounded by different cases. His bed was a deep green with a dark oak headboard that had a plaid green comforter.
Next to his door leaned his skateboard, and hung on the walls he had 3 boards lined up to make up a collage of graffiti .
I set my camera down on his desk as I take in the clutter.
Just as I reach out for one of his figurines he comes up beside me,
"boo"
my head swivels towards his, and it clearly amuses him as his eyebrow raises and he lets out a small smile.
"I didn't say to snoop around" he teases before moving to sit behind me on the foot of his bed. he pats the space next to him and I freeze up.
" I don't bite" he quips,
"I know, I just-"
"so sit down. And bring your camera, I wanna see what you're always recording."
I grab my camera before sitting next to him. Just as I turn it on he shifts closer peering at it, I'm not sure if he realized he was all up on me but I wasn't gonna ruin it.
I cough awkwardly, "Uhm I haven't been recording that much to be honest."
"Why's that?" he asks while looking up at me slightly and I cant trust myself to respond correctly if I look at him so I continue flicking through my camera roll.
"hey slow down, ain't that me?" he asks leaning in closer.
I immediately flush when I realize how far back I had gone. Back when the group first started skating at the meetups I used to take candid photos of everyone. Despite my intentions most of the photos i took that day were of Ray.
"ah thats-y'know-" I start,
"What am I like your muse or something?" he asks looking up at me with what could be akin to stars in his eyes.
I lick my lips and look away as I fidget with my camera, "They just happened to come-"
" why don't you look at me while you come up with a lie" he says
I turn my head to face him again eyes blown wide, "I'm not lying!"
He leans back slightly with a grin on his face, "it'll help it roll of the tongue easier" he says he says rolling his eyes playfully
"you're impossible" I say exhasperated
" you still taking pics tho, yeah you think I didn't notice you take one on the way inside?" He teases leaning into me again.
"you always snapping pics lemme take one too" he says looking at me for permission as he reaches for my camera.
I let him take it from me and watch as he inspects it. He turns it from side to side mumbling something about 'all these damn buttons'. I'm able to take in the way dreads are haphazardly pushed to the side allowing me to see his dermal piercing. The way the light from his green lava lamp reflects off of him makes my fingers twitch. I want to reach out.
Just as I move to touch him, he turns to me shoving the camera in my face,
"say cheese" he says with a small smile catching me off guard.
he then turns the camera around so we're both in the frame and pulls an exaggerated frown showing all his teeth while leaning on his back against me. "You're so stiff," he scolds while reviewing the photos.
"What do you want me to do?" I ask meekly
"Like act like you wanna be near me, I know you do" he huffs
after fiddling with the camera some more he presses the record button and begins to talk to the camera, "What's up guys, I'm here with this big loser," he says putting the camera in my face before bringing it back to himself. He pulls a few more faces before seemingly getting bored.
"Lets go through your camera roll again" he says trying to find the correct button .
I reach over him slightly and press the correct button, "why?"
"This time, for every photo of me I find we'll do something"
"do what?" I ask
he sits up to look at me with a knowing look,
"I feel like I'm jumping to conclusions right now" I say trying to not show my expectancy.
Ray shakes his head with a small smile before scrolling through the photos.
After 4 pictures we land on one of him spaced out while Ruben is talking to him.
Ray barks out a laugh that brings a smile to my lips as well, " I don't even remember this happening" he remarks
" all right you ready?" he says while turning towards me
I nod expectantly.
Ray leans in and right before we connect he holds my chin, keeping me in place.
the kiss was short, I found myself trying to chase his lips at the loss of contact.
"be patient" he muses and I nod reluctantly.
after 2 clicks we find another photo of him mid trick
This time I move my arm to wrap around his waist and turn my body towards him so I have more range. As he pulls away I nip at his lower lip and he lets out a small sigh that sends a small shiver through me.
"Hey..Hey okay next one" he mutters placing his hand on my chest to pull away. I hold onto his wrist with my free hand and urge him to hurry up.
A few clicks later we reach the same spot from previously,
these photos featured him teaching the others tricks and occasinally wiping his sweat the bottom of his shirt.
"You're such a perv, I wonder what you did with this photo" he says looking at me through his lashes. I let out a soft whine at the label
"Did you like looking at my body all sweaty?" he asks placing the camera down and turning to fully face me"
My face felt hot, "N-no I-"
"So you don't want to see it up close" he says cutting me off
"Is this a trick?" I ask while caging him in with my arms by the side.
he smirks and shrugs his shoulders. I watch him trail his fingers at the hem of his shirt before slowly pulling it over his head.
He pushes his hair out his face again and leans back on his elbows while looking up at me through his lashes.
"stop drooling" he states with a smile.
I finally find the strength to make a move. I drop my head to the crook of his shoulder and breathe in. He smells like spiced vanilla and sandalwood with a lingering trace of outside. Without thinking I lick a strip from the base of his neck to his ear lobe, eliciting a low groan from him that sends electricity straight to my cock.
"I've been dreaming of this since the party" I mutter into his ear as I play with the band of his waist band.
"y-yeah?" he gasps out
"I use that photo sometimes" I confess looking up at him
his tongue darts out to lick his lower lip, and like a magnet I find myself on him again.
As I deepen the kiss he falls back onto his bed and spreads his legs apart to give me purchase. His slender fingers find their way into my hair again and my heart jumps again. I find myself grinding into his sweats every now and then, earning me a hum that I swallow. Just as I speed up he pulls me back from my hair and I let out a low moan. As he catches his breath I look at him and find his brown eyes low as he watches me. I begin kissing his neck and travel down to his chest where I finally get the satisfaction of licking his hardened nipple while I play with the other.
Ray moans out half serious pleas for me to slow down before pulling me back up by my hair. Just as I let out a gasp from the sensation his lips find mine again. " You're doing so..mmph..good" he praises between kisses.
I look up at him with wide eyes before lining myself up with him so I can continue so grind against him faster. Ray moans into my mouth and drags his hands from my hair to my back where his nails dig into my back. I groan into him, and he takes this opportunity to fully slip his tongue in my mouth. we pull away again to catch our breaths and I lean my forehead against his as I continue rocking into him. suddenly he slips a hand between us and begins palming me while looking up at me.
I let out a shaken moan and collapse onto my elbows as he speeds up. His hand fully dips into my sweats and teases my head, spreading precum up and down my shaft.
he mutters, "You let out so much for me" and I shiver at his words. he lets go of me to free himself and begins to jerk us off together. I squeeze my eyes shut as I continue grinding against him.
"open your eyes and watch" He says with a shaky tone.
When I look down at him I notice his mouth hanging open as e moves up and down our cocks. His bottom lip tucks under his top just as he looks up at me again,
"Don't look at me right now..nghh..please" I moan out
he gasps out a low moan," fuck..why?...nngh you wanna come all over me don't you" he teases me as he speeds up
"Oh my...you...mmm"
"L-let it out " he whines, "I want you please" he moans looking into my eyes. Just then I let out a broken cry as my hips stutter and I begin to release on his hands and abdomen,
"Just like that" he says before coming to his own release
I feel a second wave wash over me as I watch him shiver through his release, twitching every time I slowly grind against him.
We both stop moving after a few seconds and he reaches for some tissues on his nightstand. I take them from him and begin wiping us down. Ray watches me move with low eyes and uneven breathing,
"you look like you're gonna pounce me again" I tease
"shut up" he retorts before turning on his side. "Are you going home?" he asks softly,
"Do you want me to?" I ask while standing by his door
he shakes his head
it doesn't take time before I'm under the sheets with him watching him drift off to sleep. I wait for his breath to even out before I slip out again, grabbing my camera and quietly making my way downstairs. Just as I slip my shoes on Petunia walks into the foyer and sits by me, just watching. I rub the back of her ear and take a quick picture. "Tell ray to text me in the morning" I whisper to her before slipping out his house and walking back home to mine.
