Chapter 3

Arthur’s POV 

(One week later- in the spongebob voice thingy)

Alicia stared at herself in the mirror, pondering. One week, it’s been one week and her mystery guy hasn’t texted back. She felt stupid for even reducing herself to bare minimum. She tried to fight the anger, she hated that she had shown him herself and got no reply. She felt even sadder that she sent him numerous texts asking if something was wrong. She picked her phone up and stared at her messages over the week that were not even read.

Alicia: [Hey, did something happen?]

Alicia: [I don’t know your actual name so I can’t even call you that. You’re not taking my calls either.]

Alicia: [Was the picture I sent that bad? Didn’t I look good enough for you?]

Alicia: [Maybe the angle was a bit off? But my ass—my ass looked nice. My friend said so :( ]

Alicia: [Should I have done better? Or sent more than one? Is it my face? I’m not even that ugly, I’m not ugly.]

Alicia: [I can send you another one, just text me back if you didn’t like the former.]

Alicia sighed, she sounded so lost and pathetic in her texts. The way she wanted to go extra miles for a complete stranger baffled her.

Alicia: [God, please say something- I miss you.]

She did miss him, her nights have been painfully boring. She has nothing to do, nobody to talk to and it was starting to make her question the small group of friend she had.

Alicia: [I’d do anything you want me to, just text me back.]

Alicia: [Did I do something wrong? Do you not like pictures of naked women you’ve been texting all summer?]

Alicia: [Ugh, you’re an idiot and I won’t text you again!! Btw, I’m screaming, you’re an asshole.]

Alicia: [Sorry for my outburst, just text me back, I’m really freaking out and I miss you so much, especially your voice.]

She threw her phone aside and gawked at her appearance in the mirror. She’s been so sad, having the most uneventful week and now the best thing that ever happened to her since summer suddenly stopped texting her back and it was killing her. She missed him so so much. She hasn’t even thought of sex the whole week because nobody made her excited about it except him. She wondered if he blocked her. He didn’t because she could still see the picture of his hand and his fingers adorned with rings.

Alicia picked her phone back up and went to her texts with her boyfriend..

Alicia: [Babe, are you awake?]

She waited and smiled when she saw him typing.

Alicia: [Yes pumpkin, is something wrong?]

Alicia nibbled on her lips, that habit ever so present whenever she was nervous. She swallowed, moving up on her bed to relax on the headboard of it and she turned the light off and sunk under her covers, her fingers hovering on the keyboard. She didn’t know if it was a good idea to ask Micheal to sext when they haven’t done something like that before but she needed something to quench the burning thirst in her body.

Alicia: [Micheal, I’m horny x x.]

Micheal: [Oh.]

Micheal: [That’s sudden.]

Alicia rolled her eyes, “is it?” She leaned further down her covers and resumed typing.

Alicia: [Say something to me.]

Micheal: [Babe, you’re scaring me. What do you want me to say?]

Alicia: [Something really dirty, I wanna—Micheal, text me naughty things that you wanna do to me.]

Alicia waited, she was getting better, the excitement was coming back and she hoped Micheal doesn’t ruin it.

Micheal: [Pumpkin, hey, we haven’t done something like this before.]

Alicia: [Just—please, I wanna hear something filthy. Call me.]

Her phone rang almost immediately and she took a deep breathe and picked up.

“Hey, you good?” Micheal’s voice came and she shut her eyes and threw her head back, letting the smooth edge to his voice wash all over her body like she got drenched in water.

“Yeah yeah. Micheal, say something dirty to me, please.]

She heard Micheal sigh and she wanted to cry. 

“We talked about this. I told you we’d have sex soon and I want it to be special for you, why can’t you just wait?”

“I can’t wait!! What am I supposed to do with the constant urge to get fucked? I didn’t ask for it to be special even though I know I deserve it. Just, how hard would it be to just say dirty things to me?”

“I’m not familiar with that.”

Alicia scoffed. “Says the guy who dated a sorority girl, don’t give me that bullshit. Can we not swerve a different direction in our conversation? Tell me what you’d wanna do to me if I was with you right now.”

“We’d watch a movie or something.]

“Oh for heaven’s sake..” Alicia said, completely frustrated and she hung up. “Why exactly am I dating him?

***********

College wasn’t even fun per say, everything annoyed Alicia and she almost smacked a guy who asked for her snap. She didn’t want anyone else, just her mystery guy and the days were starting to get even worser since he hasn’t texted her back. She leaned on her car seat, Anna beside her texting surprisingly fast to her mum. 

“Can you stop sighing? I’m trying to focus here,” Anna complained, shooting her mum one more text before shutting her phone off. “Still no text from him?”

Alicia shook her head, on the verge of tears. “I just—was the picture not good? Would he have preferred if I wasn’t all bent like a dog? I just can’t wrap my head around it.”

Anna rubbed her arm in soothing circles. “That picture was fucking beautiful and he’s an asshole for ignoring your texts.”

Alicia dropped her head on her steering wheel, her honk going off and she scared a poor grandma who for some reason flashed her the middle finger. She watched another man appear and give the grandma a hug and a little peck on her lips and she groaned.

“Look, even the elder ones are getting laid and I’m getting ignored.”

Anna laughed, she knew she wasn’t supposed to, seeing that her best friend was going through a major breakdown but she couldn’t help it. “And Micheal wasn’t of any help?”

“I asked him the things he’d do to me if we were together and he said we’d watch a movie or something. What the actual hell?”

Anna couldn’t control her laughter, she twisted on her seat to get a better look at the exhausted look on Alicia’s face and she laughed even more, clutching her stomach to contain her laughter. “I’m so sorry…I couldn’t help it. God, he’s such a bore. Say, maybe go out, to a club or something or those college parties that end up in an orgy and have fun.”

“I wanna have sex not contact STDs. I’m heading home, my mum said we’d be having a guest. Get out of my car.”

Anna chuckled and her hand went around Alicia’s shoulder. She pulled her in to nuzzle their cheeks, “Love you.”

Alicia rolled her eyes. “Love you too.”

Alicia’s drive back home was a slow one, she just couldn’t stop thinking about him, she developed possible scenerios, mainly wondering if he lost his phone or if it was stolen. she didn’t know what to conclude on so she let it go. She parked in front of her house and got out, grabbing her hot chocolate that had turned cold and tossed it into the trash.

She walked into the house and her mother was in the kitchen, talking to someone, a guy. She was smiling as she moved around the kitchen. The guy sat on one of the kitchen stools, his elbows propped on the kitchen counter as he communicated with Alicia’s mum and Alicia could tell he was smiling from the angle she stared at him from. She quietly approached them and her mum was the first to notice her.

“Oh, you’re finally back,” The woman said and stepped in front of her. Alicia tried to look past her shoulder at the stranger. “Come come, meet your cousin, Jason.” Alicia let herself be pulled in front of the guy and he turned— her breath caught in her throat.

Since she was born, she has never seen a guy look soft yet has a hard part of him? Does that make sense? She hasn’t seen someone look so beautiful yet so masculine and handsome. She hasn’t seen someone with gorgeous green eyes, sharp jawline, pretty long lashes any girl would die for, prominent nose with a piercing on the right, a silver tiny earring in place there. He had a pretty neck, collarbone, everything about him screamed ‘Unbelievably attractive with big dick’, strictly Alicia’s thoughts and this was her cousin???.

The boy got up and Alicia looked up at him. He’s tall with a dark aura, his black hair swept back and an undercut visible. He had an amazing body, even the free black shirt he wore couldn’t for the love of God, hide anything. And gray sweatpants? Alicia wanted to fold.

“H-hi,” Alicia stuttered and cursed herself for it. Her eyes briefly scanned his hands, pretty veins with fingers adorned with pretty rings. “I’m Alicia.”

“Your mum said so, I’m Jason. Wanna shake or something?”

Alicia nodded dumbly, reaching for his own hand and when they touched, she felt that jittery feeling again, some kind of weird body response she felt for her mystery man, she was feeling it now and with her cousin?

“He’d be staying with us for a few months since his family is away in Germany. His college is close to yours so both of you can go to college together. I’ll finish up dinner.”

Alicia hummed and pulled her hand away, walking up the stairs. When she got to the top, she turned around to glance at him and he was already looking at her. What was that look in his eyes?

About an hour later, Jason was sent upstairs to fetch Alicia. He knocked once and Alicia opened up, scanning him up and down.

“Do you need anything?”

Jason gently shoved her inside and walked into her room, surprising Alicia and she gawked at him. “Excuse me? Maybe don’t just push me aside and walk into my room.” He turned to her with a cheeky smile, stepping towards her and Alicia gave him a questionable look. “What?”

“I missed you so fucking much I thought I was going crazy.”

Alicia blinked, confused. “Excuse me?”

He took another step towards her and Alicia’s first thought was to step back, her back meeting her door and he stepped closer until they were barely an inch apart.

“I’ve never seen a woman so sexy all bent for me, you loved being in that position for me?”

Alicia stared at him and then it hit her. The way he spoke was similar to the way her mystery guy spoke over the phone and she—oh, Jesus.

“What the fuck is—”

“Shhhh, I’m gonna need you to keep your voice down, yeah?”

Alicia found herself nodding, her heart was pounding , she wasn’t scared, she was excited. Whatever this was, she was excited and she stared up at him as he looked down at her

“Did you miss me too?” Jason asked, his hand coming up to stroke the side of Alicia’s neck, his thumb casually drawing circles on her neck and Alicia tried to lean into his warm touch but decided against it.

“Are-are you him?”

“Who?” Jason smiled, “The guy you’ve been sexting all summer?”

Alicia’s eyes went wide, what is going on? Alicia stared at the ground, too confused, she couldn't meet Jason’s gaze. But Jason had other plans, he placed his middle finger under Alicia’s chin and raised her face so they could now look at each other, their faces barely inches apart.

Jason leaned down to tuck his head in Alicia’s neck, breathing in her fresh shower scent. “You’re exactly how I imagined you, beautiful with an innocent look. Hearing you tell me how I make you wet and how much you want me made me come all the way here,” he whispered, his breath hot on her skin and Alicia’s hands curled up around the end of his shirt in tiny fists. She shivered when his nose brushed her sensitive area but he pulled back to look at her, their eyes connected. Alicia felt pinned to the ground, and she couldn’t believe herself at this point.

Jason’s thumb traced her lower lip slowly, then moved to her upper lip and Alicia let him, her own eyes dropping to Jason’s lips, then back to his eyes. Jason pressed down on her bottom lip, a smirk appearing on his face when he asks, "How do you feel now that you know you’ve been sexting your own cousin all summer?”
