"What is it?" I asked, sure my face was heating. Reggie chuckled looking away.
I'd caught him staring at me, and not in a friendly way. Like he was contemplating on something.
But he laughed it away not giving an answer. He scooted closer staring at the clay I was trying to mould into something.
He dipped a finger into it and I frowned.
"Hey —" I was saying until he painted my face with his hand. My mouth opened, my eyes wide.
Reggie was laughing hard at me, and a smile made its way to my face.
"You look pretty with that" he muttered and I rolled my eyes. I raised my soiled hands waggling it in his face.
"Run Mr, I'm gonna catch and you'd look horrible" I said forming a menacing deep voice.
Instead of running, Reggie leaned back parting his legs, a smile on his face.
"I'm gonna get you" I warned but he raised a brow instead, urging me on. I launched at him, just when my hands could have gotten to his face, he held them.
I looked down at him, he had a teasing gaze. I was between his legs with my soiled hands trapped in his.
Reggie had bigger hands than I did, so mine looked smaller in his.
He smirked
"Who got who now?" he asked wriggling his brows and I laughed.
He released my hands and I lunged at him painting his face with my hands while he shrieked.
I laughed happily.
I traced his brows, his eyes, his nose and eventually his lips. We both stopped laughing, but my hands did not stop moving.
Our eyes met and I felt my heart skip a beat, his hands wounded around me pulling me closer to him.
My eyes were fixed on his lips, I'd always fantasied about what it'd be like kissing Reggie. Our friendship was just five months, but it felt like we'd known each other for like forever.
I leaned towards him, at eleven I was probably ready to have my first kiss. Most girls in my class already had theirs.
"Save me all your firsts, they're mine to take. No one else Charl, promise me" he whispered and I nodded, the magic moment we were in shattered and I pulled away from him.
Even though, Reggie was two years older than me. I still felt like he was a child. He had a functional dick I'd seen in action twice when we'd sleepover.
He was always erect whenever he woke up, when I'd ask him if I could touch it. He only hissed shaking his head.
"Not now Charl, not now" was his reply. I gave up trying ,just peeking at it from his boxers. He'd caught me once, he laughed rushing into the bathroom.
The door open and Reggie's arms around me fell as mum came in. She scrunched her nose at the both of us.
"What are you doing?" she asked her eyes darting to me. They hardened immediately.
"Charlotte?" I bowed my head lightly waiting for the reprimand.
"You messed Reggie up" she frowned, I dare not say anything.
"She did not ma'am" Reggie butted in an attempt to save me.
"Come Reggie, let's clean you up so you could speak to Jessie for a while" Mum flashed him a fake smile.
Reggie frowned staring at me, I nodded at him. If he doesn't go, mum would turn on me.
He stood up.
"Promise?" he mouthed and I nodded.
"Promise" I mouthed back before mum urged him out of the room.
Despite the fluttering in my stomach, my heart was sinking. Mum was trying to merge Jessica and Reggie together. I knew what she was trying to do.
