I let both our cigarettes disappear as Henry sucked on my lips, and I responded with a bite. He turned my head to gain better access to the insides of my mouth.
So warm, so softly yet so obsessively kissing , but still not grinding his body against mine, still standing far enough away to avoid letting involuntarily touch sothing that would turn off... you ant it, didn’t you?
You ant it when you said that I didn’t have to touch you.
But didn’t that also an that I didn’t have to think as long as nobody was watching?
I grabbed the collar I had gifted him, pulling him closer and closer until our bodies touched. Henry moaned when his hardness t my lower stomach, and I hugged him, with not even a bit of space left between us.
My stomach sorsaulted, my heart sped up, but I still couldn’t let my hand wander below and do for him what he had done for .
Instead, I just continued to kiss him, letting him grind against as he engulfed in a tight hug.
"Where are Devin and Howard?" We heard a voice asking from far away, and I nearly jumped back from Henry.
He held in place but broke the kiss, still rubbing himself against .
"They can’t see us," he groaned, before trying to change the topic sneakily,
"How can you be so perfect?" Henry kissed all over the face before going for my neck and sucking on my skin, not stopping the motion of his lower body, like so horny dog would.
When he raised his head to kiss again, I pushed his face away with my palm.
Although he let push him, he didn’t let go; instead, he whined.
"Why? They are far away..."
"Back up!" I tried to peel Henry away from , but he didn’t let until it almost broke into a scuffle; then eventually he let go of grumpily.
I put my clothes back in place as I heard the instructor telling the others, who were apparently outside in the big garden, that a swimming competition would be held today.
We had already missed so many lessons... So let’s go for a swim.
"First place is a car, and second is a laptop!" The instructor announced, and the class applauded, too far away for anyone to see or hear us.
"Let’s go." I turned around and walked back inside to head toward the changing rooms.
Henry followed .
"Shouldn’t we go get the smartwatches?" He asked, and I shrugged; we were already back inside.
"Hurry up, don’t you want the car?" I turned my head to grin at him.
He pointed at himself and then at , his eyes glistening with competitive spirit.
"Car and laptop?"
I raised my eyebrows. It was originally just a joke cause we were laying low, but seeing him so excited also got a bit competitive.
"Should we make them hate us and get both prizes?" Even if the people at the center gained the knowledge that we could get corrupted through cars and laptops that we didn’t want anyway, what the hell would they be able to do with this knowledge?
Should we stop standing on the sidelines, since they were already clear about what we could do?
"We should." Henry nodded, dead serious.
I laughed and turned back, picking up speed so that we wouldn’t co too late.
"True, there is no need to hold back so much."
When I reached the door to the changing room and bolted inside, he crashed into the second I stopped at the shelf I usually took my clothes from.
We were all alone; the others were already outside and probably in the pool.
I pushed Henry away.
"Don’t injure people just cause you want the laptop."
"I’m going to win the car fair and square, don’t worry." Henry squeezed , and I felt that he still hadn’t fully cald down.
I still couldn’t believe that I wasn’t that disgusted by feeling his thing.
"Not gonna happen." I took the swim shorts in my size from the shelf and finally managed to get that clingy leech off of .
I took my shirt off, and when I saw Henry do the sa while he was still laughing, I noticed the bite marks on him, which I had completely forgotten.
"Wear a shirt while swimming," I commanded, motioning to the black shirts.
Henry obediently took one and handed another one.
"You too."
Petty.
After we changed, I dragged him outside to the instructor.
"Kenny!" Chelsea was already inside the swimming pool, squealing and playing with the twins.
I waved at her and turned to the instructor.
"We’re here; can we participate in the contest?" I asked.
"Yes. Go in the water; we’re warming up before we start." He noted sothing on his clipboard, and I nodded.
I ca with Henry to the pool, and when I saw the chance, I flung him inside so he could cool down a bit.
When he landed in the water like a broken doll, I broke into laughter, motioning for Chelsea to make space for , as she and the twins were too close to where I planned to jump in.
Henry had already surfaced, wiping his wet hair out of his face and chuckling with bad intentions, but I wouldn’t let him get .
When there was enough space, I ran over the lawn I was standing on and jumped, executing a perfect bomb dive into the pool.
The water hit along with the colder temperature. I felt so liberated; I really should do this more often.
I was in the midst of swimming up when Henry tackled from the side and pressed his mouth against mine under the water. I pushed him away, but he didn’t let go, and we ca up to the surface in a hug that could either tell onlookers that we were best friends or that we had been trying to drown each other.
"What the hell?" I laughed, trying to peel the hyped-up, wet dog away from .
"Payback." He mumbled, biting my shoulder through the shirt that clung to .
"You fucker!" I restrained the dog in a chokehold and looked around, but nobody was wearing diving goggles, so nobody should have seen us under the water.
"Hahaha! What are you two even doing?" Chelsea cheered from the side, now sitting on the pool edge, watching us.
When I glanced at her in her bikini, Henry freed himself out of my hold and covered my eyes.
"He can’t swim very well." He explained to Chelsea.
Lies...
He is so annoying...
I tried to get him away, and we fought a bit until the instructor asked us to get ready for the competition.
"Does everyone have their smartwatches on?" He asked in passing.
"Can we do the competition without them?" I asked back with a raised hand.
"No," the instructor shook his head.
h.
"I’ll go get them." Henry seed determined to compete with today.
I pulled him back into the water when he tried to exit the pool
"Wait here, I’m getting them." I was out and walking along the lawn before Henry could say anything.
I had to go through the garden to avoid making everything inside wet, but it wasn’t that far, so I jogged to the secluded spot we had just been in.
I instantly found the place where Henry had buried the smartwatches, not especially deep, but just enough so that nobody would hear us talking.
They were still there, and if they were waterproof, they should survive a bit of dirt.
I carried them back, and when Henry looked at from a distance, I waved at him with them in my hand.
He waved back before freezing, turning his head to look sowhere, but it was not only him; a few others in the pool also watched sothing.
I turned to see what he was looking at and spotted a guy.
It was Skinny Guy, who marched in my direction, his face half covered in bandages and half in plaster.
I chuckled. Why is that fucker here, and what the hell does he want?
I looked back at Henry when I saw him suddenly disappearing, only black smoke left behind on the spot in the pool he had been in.
There was not even ti to form a thought when he appeared amidst more black smoke right in front of , when I heard a gun firing shots, when I was tackled to the ground by Henry, and when he was lying above motionlessly...
...everything happening simultaneously.
I held his body in my arms, feeling my neck getting drenched by the blood that flooded out of Henry’s mouth, the sensations sticky, hot, and utterly wrong.
Wait, what?
What just happened?
I couldn’t react, not able to differentiate if what had just occurred was real or if I was hallucinating.
But then, there were more shots.
"BAM, BAM, BAM!"
The body on moved slightly after each bullet fired, and I finally woke up from the shock immobilizing .
I was finally able to form a thought, and one thought alone:
’Henry has been shot.’
