My finger trailed down Jesse's pale defined abs as he peacefully slept, my head gently resting just underneath his jawline.
His chest raised my head up every time he inhaled, my eyes looking up at his face. It was still dewy and flushed from what I did to him earlier today.
God this camp really did change me. I came here without having any friends and now here I am having friends and a boyfriend I'm doing things with?
Crazy..
It seemed as if Jesse felt my sudden rush of thinking as he slowly woke up, yawning. "You're awake?" He looked down, our eyes meeting.
"Yea, you're the only one who slept." I lightly chuckled, his finger lightly rubbing against my lip.
"You made me numb, sorry." He devilishly smirked, stretching his arms out which made me get up off of him.
"I did?" I tilted my head at him, yawning as I sat up off the bed. "Is that bad?" My voice anxiously asked.
"No, hell no, it was great, especially for your first time." Jesse kept his piercingly gorgeous blue eyes at me as he cheekily smiled. "I guess taking you to that yogurt place paid off." He winked, immediately making blood run through my head.
"Shut up." I let out in a quiet whine. "I'm never doing that again." I crinkled my face at him as he sat back up with me.
"You're gonna wanna do it again, watch." He bit his lip after his sarcastic response, strands of his hair falling onto his face as what he said made me roll my eyes back.
"Nope, never again, I swear. You're just too conceited." I tried to hide my smile, Jesse gently landing his hand on my thigh.
"You don't want me to return the favor?" He raised an eyebrow at me as I glanced down at his hand beginning to slowly slide upwards.
"U-uh no, not really!" I exclaimed sheepishly with widened eyes. "I don't think I'm ready for that yet." I grabbed some of the blankets to cover myself up from him.
Jesse casually shrugged. "Micah you just had me inside your mouth, I think you're ready for a lot of things." I immediately slapped him, making him laugh out loud, making him rub over his cheek. "Ow!" He pouted.
My eyes hastily looked around to see if anyone heard, luckily no one was around. "Jesse shut up! I don't want anyone to know about that. That's so personal." I quickly threw him a dirty look.
"Sorry." His signature pout stayed on his face as him being so attractive almost seemed to make being mad at him insanely impossible.
Silence emitted between us as I just began to observe him. Fuck he looked absolutely stunning. His jet black hair was messily ruffled as his blue crystallized gaze was fully dilated at me now.
"You're so hot." He threw his head back as he quickly licked over his cherry red lips, his words not failing to send butterflies to roam around my stomach.
A heated exhale left my mouth as my cheeks brightly burned at him. "Were you looking at me just now?"
He slowly nodded his head at me. "I look at you all the time, you just noticed?" His voice was always a lot huskier whenever he just woke up and hearing it always made me feel some type of way.
"No, I have. I have noticed." I cheerily replied. "It's just different when both of us do it at the same time."
"Is it?" He quickly got up and planted a kiss on my lips, making me close my eyes from complete peace. "What are you gonna do today?" He asked, his face closely against mine now.
"I don't know, probably spend time with Benny. He's leaving soon and I wanna make sure I spend a lot of time with him before he leaves." I blinked slowly, still trying to process Benny having to leave.
"Where to?" Jesse asked.
"Literally everywhere in Europe. He's like a huge traveling stylist now." I replied, audibly trying to sound happy.
"That's cool, if you come visit me in Italy we can go see him together." Jesse responded as I made a sudden realization.
Oh..
Silence now loomed over us as tried my best to remain calm as much as possible.
"Wait." I took a deep breath before speaking again. "After this camp is over, you're gonna have to fly back to Italy aren't you?"
"Earlier than that actually, but y-yea, I'm gonna have to." What I said helped Jesse realize it also as I just sighed. "But so what? We can make it work. I fly here every year." I just buried my face into my hands at Jesse's response.
"Jesse, that's not how it works. You make it sound so easy but it's not going to be." So everyone special to me in this camp are just all gonna leave now? "We're gonna be thousands of miles away, for who knows how many months. I don't even know if I'm coming back here again I'm gonna have to go back to school."
"Micah it's okay, we can make it work." Jesse extended an arm forward as I just sat still.
"Do you think we can? Because I-I honestly don't. I don't wanna sound like a bitch but long distance relationships are not easy and I don't ever wanna be in a spot where I want my boyfriend so bad and the only way I can feel him is through a screen." I unconsciously raised my voice. "Jesse I-I don't know."
Jesse looked quickly to the side as his jaws clenched only for a second. "You're acting like you've been in a long distance relationship before, why can't you at least try to be hopeful about making it work?"
"Because I don't have to be in a long distance relationship to know it's probably super hard! Someone I just started loving is gonna be gone soon and taken away from me. And what? Wait a couple of months till I see him again?" I began to choke out from frustration as I wish I thought about this more.
Am I that dumb? Let me just start dating someone who originally doesn't live here! Fuck why am I so dumb!?
"Micah, I know your freaking out but if we really try, it won't be that hard." Jesse extended an arm towards mine as he brushed his warmth against me. "I'm not even planning to stay in Italy forever, my aunt wants to live here, and we probably will. It'll work. I promise you Micah, we'll make it work."
"I-I don't know." I deeply breathed, growing stress making it come out a lot weaker than intended.
"Yes you do know." Jesse rapidly moved his shirtless body closer towards me, not breaking our eye contact at all. "Micah, at this point, If you still can't tell that I'm practically obsessed with you I don't know what else to do. I'm gonna do everything in my power to make it work but I'm gonna need your help."
I looked up, my narrowed eyes breaking off of Jesse's extremely anxious ones. "Okay." I breathed, making Jesse's face rapidly soften from relief. "We-you're right, yea, okay, we'll make it work." I pursed my lips, slowly nodding my head.
We'll make it work..
"Oh y'all freaky!" Benny crinkled his face at me, making me rapidly purse my lips out of shame. "I would never use my mouth in that type of way! The only thing that enters this mouth is the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Mostly blood because you know I love a good drink." He cackled, making me quietly join him.
"I'm so embarrassed now." I spoke shyly. "I shouldn't have done it."
Benny quickly shook his head. "Micah you my good Judy, I ain't judging how you wanna get down with your man, I swear!" He loudly continued. "Did your nosebleed?"
"Surprisingly enough, no." I quickly responded.
"Oh well good. That shit would've made everything so awkward." He shrugged, adjusting his striped jacket.
As Benny and I continued our walk, something quickly began to take his attention, making him turn his head to the side.
