“Hey babe,” Cleo called me as I entered her house. Damien was there, lying on the couch watching TV.428Please respect copyright.PENANAxhj5lCXT8h
428Please respect copyright.PENANA6eX09K1Gjz
“What’s up?” I asked sitting down next to Damien’s head “Besides becoming couch potatoes,” I chuckled and tapped his head. I looked Cleo in the eye for a moment, letting her know that I wanted to talk to her alone.428Please respect copyright.PENANACjn2TyZDcp
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfeY8ZJjGEM
“I'm good. You? Started studying?” Damien asked me and put his head on my lap; keeping his eyes on the TV.428Please respect copyright.PENANAzQkcPOMcUK
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9hNvLjQMNH
“Yeah, English and maths.”428Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Nin0OSWa

“Mom left spaghetti but I want pizza,” Cleo said pouting “What do you want?” she looked at Damien and me.428Please respect copyright.PENANAeJiHmoN3J5
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdxilUFy1uR
“Pizza,” I agreed.428Please respect copyright.PENANAWSmQEomUvy
428Please respect copyright.PENANAmM0X8f2fUO
“Whatever. I'm going upstairs,” Damien said.428Please respect copyright.PENANAB9CR9bp2oB
428Please respect copyright.PENANAaQv1xCe5BE
“What’s up?” Cleo asked as soon as Damien disappeared from the stairs.428Please respect copyright.PENANAJgBfPFnnaz
428Please respect copyright.PENANAoTFDC6Mrby
“What am I going to do with Alex?” I asked her.428Please respect copyright.PENANA2wPEVfwutP
428Please respect copyright.PENANAZTPmkkBNOD
“Call him!”428Please respect copyright.PENANAMJI5m0XGwY
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdn9WNpWf4m
“Dude, he said he doesn’t believe in love!” I began and once my thoughts rushed out, I couldn’t stop. “Say, I go out with him, we end up having sex, which by the way must be great with him, and I end up falling for him and he bails, that he will!”428Please respect copyright.PENANA9uw8SX3dkA
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYB5V57FcGw
“Breathe!” Cleo shook my shoulders “You’re rushing into things!”428Please respect copyright.PENANA9YQEJSMG9F
428Please respect copyright.PENANAhT6Sdtefhs
“I want pizza,” I said out of the blue putting my thoughts aside as my stomach growled. Nothing ruins my appetite or my sleep.428Please respect copyright.PENANAc1sgTFGGHn
428Please respect copyright.PENANAyR3Uwff4yO
“Where’s the phone?” I asked, intending to order the pizzas.428Please respect copyright.PENANAZdAprkH5Nk
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPgbkho0jAd
“Damien’s got it I guess,” she said looking around at the living room.428Please respect copyright.PENANA6j4uWCtRPg
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqdjtN0xkdt
“I'm going,” I said, standing up.428Please respect copyright.PENANAy89JhAjDSS
428Please respect copyright.PENANAPzpAIagwX5
I walked up the stairs and towards his room. I could hear voices from the tv while I knocked on the door.428Please respect copyright.PENANAjCZVrwU4dw
428Please respect copyright.PENANA15AHJzqZMq
“Yeah,” I heard him call. His voice was hoarse and calm.428Please respect copyright.PENANA6fRqbMbYlD
428Please respect copyright.PENANAuLDxiMBe6Z
“It’s me,” I said and opened the door. “I'm looking for the phone,” I said looking at his messy room “You made yourself comfortable again I see,” I laughed.428Please respect copyright.PENANAbHdiKdmy6Q
428Please respect copyright.PENANAHkzp1YzEcH
“Yeah,” he replied handing me the phone. His fingertips touched my skin and left a burning feeling behind. He didn’t reply to my comment. I guess he wasn’t feeling well for he usually mocks me all the time.428Please respect copyright.PENANACKPxWn98vs
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjXlWTv6wHy
“We’re ordering pizza. There’s beer in the fridge. Want anything else?”428Please respect copyright.PENANAAA8FnvEbIK
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjrqg1BDDAo
“Nuh,” and he looked around “Just cleaning,” he said and a small grin appeared on his thin lips.428Please respect copyright.PENANAvhrSFBQ0Sc
428Please respect copyright.PENANAU1EPzHQFuK
“Haha. Keep dreaming. I'm not doing that anymore!” I said “I own you some punches though.”428Please respect copyright.PENANAhbi8VyD1RU
428Please respect copyright.PENANAko823hEFNZ
He got up quickly and stand in front of me. He straightened his body to challenge me; standing on his full 6 ft 5 height.428Please respect copyright.PENANA1KKoC92XQn
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlqUfEBz9u0
“Try,” he raised an eyebrow smirking.428Please respect copyright.PENANA2kW4tq0mj9
428Please respect copyright.PENANAlNz5Fph4Yl
I got on the bed so that I was just a few inches taller than him. I looked at him in the eye and gave him a punch on the arm; narrowing my eyes. I knew what I was facing death now.428Please respect copyright.PENANAp4vOsRdsQT
428Please respect copyright.PENANAjE7n4p1GQ2
He gripped my wrists, pulling me down from the bed and turned me over so that my back was touching his chest. He crossed my hands in front me and pulled either hand away from the other.428Please respect copyright.PENANA7TU3G0vMrI
428Please respect copyright.PENANAdyxn4YL7Tn
“Ouch,” I yelled and pushed into his chest to decrease the pain on my arms.428Please respect copyright.PENANAHuYRPYK1cX
428Please respect copyright.PENANA9D0sWe48vB
“Will you try that again?” He asked closed to my ear.428Please respect copyright.PENANAFsmYl2ep7B
428Please respect copyright.PENANAqUZ4JNXhvu
“Of course!” I never fall without a fight. He pulled my hands more and I pushed more into him; our bodies collided.428Please respect copyright.PENANAexnXjeSQtG
428Please respect copyright.PENANAi4jRIyWuay
“I'm like a bow-tie!” I cried.428Please respect copyright.PENANAxKjJpCfLxS
428Please respect copyright.PENANAOccMpNysuh
“Will you try that again?” he said right into my ear, his voice send shivers down my spine. I tried to get away but his grip was too tight.428Please respect copyright.PENANAl6paaLIcJY
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8LPZRUyHpH
“If I say that it hurts, will you let go?” I pouted and turned my head a bit to the side, towards him. I could feel his breath on my face; butterflies attacking my stomach. I wanted to stay there.428Please respect copyright.PENANAoNrXT4qqOm
428Please respect copyright.PENANAVncejDoV5Q
“Yes. Because you’re admitting your defeat,” he grinned. I sighed.428Please respect copyright.PENANA5lb7RTvqGI
428Please respect copyright.PENANAfEvIwC3vwC
“It hurts,” I pouted. His smile widened and let go of my hands slowly. I punch him once more and left the room before he could do anything.428Please respect copyright.PENANAKac8fbspXC

July 21st. The results should be out within the next hour. I was home with Cleo and Max waiting since 6 a.m. Cleo had spent the night here, so Max had to drive here at 6 o’clock. We had to see the results together in order to calm each other down in case the results were bad.428Please respect copyright.PENANALnhdx9SqHT
428Please respect copyright.PENANAEAXjI4VXlO
Besides the examination results for universities, today is my birthday. Cleo said she got me lingerie, that I haven't got the chance to see yet, since she left them in the car last night when Max drove her here, before going off on a date. Max got me tickets for a concert but didn’t say what concert.428Please respect copyright.PENANAkLiX8f35zp
428Please respect copyright.PENANAJvw8WQa0Ob
“I ADORE YOU!!!” I screamed jumping in his arms “You’re fantastic! I love love love love you!!” I squished him into my arms.428Please respect copyright.PENANAjpOhqEBtRj
428Please respect copyright.PENANAgzSWoe2eeO
“Cant-breathe,” he chocked as I was all over him.428Please respect copyright.PENANA48myntQSMY
428Please respect copyright.PENANAxtDtn1LLQf

“Let me see,” Max said grabbing the bag from my hands. He pulled out a Victoria Secret black lace slip babydoll and a Brazilian underwear. Max smirked.428Please respect copyright.PENANAiWuWCwDwbB
428Please respect copyright.PENANA8lnua14n7c
“Definitely wear that at the concert,” he raised his eyebrows “Then we can have a night of passion,” he smirked. Cleo hit him on the head with something and I took the lingerie from his hands.428Please respect copyright.PENANANvm50ur3Gs
428Please respect copyright.PENANAYgnWbH14uR
“Thanks sweety,” I said kissing her “How long it’s been since you had sex?” I said to Max.428Please respect copyright.PENANAK2fYkvoypC

“Six weeks.”428Please respect copyright.PENANAkBDh3aCZCX

“Sorry,” he sighed pouting.428Please respect copyright.PENANA8xMf7wUjfE

“The results are up!” Cleo said, looking up from the computer screen. We gathered around her waiting, as she typed her code. Each of the students that took the exams, were given a serial code number, so when the results were announced on the Ministry site, we typed in out code and watched the University we managed to get in to.428Please respect copyright.PENANAJS9PmGNr0E
428Please respect copyright.PENANAvoKSlXPvbx
“Oh,” it was all she managed to say. She did get into the Fashion Design school she wanted to.428Please respect copyright.PENANA1bacrK0yX2

Only disadvantage? It was located just outside my town. I did wanted to go there but I always had a little hope that maybe I would leave this town. And I made it. I smiled and made room for Max.428Please respect copyright.PENANAyoJNZWhDEo
428Please respect copyright.PENANAbcDl7PWvBS
