American Mouth (chapter 5)

Chapter 5
"Elk you can't be serious" he said in total shock.  "I'm as serious as I'll ever be." A huge smile spread across his face as he clings onto me, knocking me on my back on the bed.  The two of us laid there laughing "so will you?" I asked, anxious about his answer. If he rejected me, I'd be rather upset. Seth paused for a moment, I started getting antsy. Seth looked away with an unsure look. He then looked back at me with a sinister grin and pressed his cheek to mine "OF COURSE I WILL ELKIE!" Elkie? I thought to myself. I was in too good a mood though; I was so happy that the one who's made the biggest change in me was going to be there always. Whenever I wake up, when I go to bed, when I come home from work, or when he comes home after school I was just enthralled to be closer to this person.
I draped my arms around Seth's neck and brought him in for a kiss. Seth rested his head under my neck. I had my hand placed on his head nicely and ran through his soft hair.  "Hey Seth" I began. "Yeah?"  "Have I been your only boy friend?" I asked being curious about my new roommate. He didn't answer and his breathing slowed. He gripped onto my shoulder; then shook his head.  "I'm sorry" he said nearly audible. What was he apologizing for?  "What is it?" I asked as we both sat up.  Seth looked down and took hold of my hand.  "I…just had a bad experience…that's all" he said "why, tell me what happened" I demanded. "I just…thought he was the one…but…then he turned his back on me when I needed him most." He said, his hand starting to quiver.  "Is that why you've been so insecure about me and Drew?" I asked with a small smile. Seth blushed "I just wanted to make sure you wouldn't leave me too."  I wrapped my arms around him and held on tight. "I'm not letting go."  I knocked Seth over and landed on top of him.
I looked down at him with a smile as he started laughing.  He placed his hand on the back of my neck and slowly pulled me in for a kiss. I took that as an invitation and stuck my tongue into his mouth.  Seth moaned loudly as I pushed up against him. He let out a loud gasp as I continued to press myself against him. Seth ran the tips of his fingers down my chest, giving me chills. I took my tongue and began to lick all over his torso. I licked up his neck then down to his chest and focused more on his nipples. Goose bumps spread across his body. I began to get down lower, I could hear him moaning and grunting quietly. "Elk" he let out as I put my hand in between his thighs. I reached my hand down into his shorts and cupped my hand around him. I began to slide my hand up and down in a quick pace. I licked his chest as I continued the motion.  Seth gripped his hands tight on the bed sheets. Then he released himself and let go of the covers. I crawled back up and placed my lips on his. I looked down at his face; it was flushed pink with the expression of exhaustion. I kissed his forehead as he slowly closed his eyes. I lay down next to him and he places his head on my chest and positions his arm across my waist line. I returned the embrace and held him up to me closely. He fell asleep quickly; I kissed his forehead once again then joined him in his slumber.
For the next few days, the two of us spent most of our time trying to move Seth into the apartment. I had to rearrange and move my things out of the way to make space for him. After about a week we finally got the final few boxes into the apartment. We walked through the door carrying the final two boxes. We set them down in a big pile of other boxes, then both plopped down onto the couch and let out long sighs. "Finally done" Seth said relieved. "Welcome home" I said with a smile. Seth crawled over to me and kissed me. "So when do you want to start unpacking?" I asked feeling a bit claustrophobic. "Am I getting in your way already?" He asked jokingly.  "Yeah," I started. "But I like it" I said leaning in and pecking him.  I stood up from the couch and began to open up some of the boxes lying on the top of the stacks. The first box I opened was filled with clothes, the next was filled with the bed sheets he used before. The next box I opened, was filled with photo albums "what are these?" I asked taking them out. "Oh, those are some old photo albums from when I was a kid." I got excited, I wanted to see what Seth looked like as a child. I sat down next to him and opened up to the first page.
Eight photos were displayed neatly on each page, at the top were the words 'Seth's early years'. I scrolled through the pictures with Seth as I saw his progression in age.  "You were so cute" I said as his face blushed. I flipped through the next few pages, seeing pictures of him with his younger sisters and with his parents, old holiday and birthday pictures, and pictures of the old family pets. "That was me when I was eight holding my baby sister when she came home from the hospital" he said with a smile "Jessica wasn't very happy though, you know the whole typical 'I'm being replaced as the baby' thing" he said laughing. I could tell Seth really cherished his family. I glanced over at an old photo of him and a group of kids around his age dress in Halloween costumes. "Who are they?" I asked laughing at the fact that Seth was dressed as a turtle as the others were dressed as zombies, ghosts, and robots. "oh those were my two next door neighbors, that's my cousin, and that one is Jacob" he said "who's he" I asked noticing he was the only one Seth named. "He was my first boy friend, and the one I dated before you."  "Oh…so he's the one that hurt you?" tears began to well up in his eyes.  I leaned toward him and embraced him. He took a moment but returned the hold. I pulled away for a moment and looked into his eyes, I pressed my forehead against his "he doesn't deserve you then."  Seth gripped onto my hands "why would I need him anyway…when I have you?"
