“Hey babe,” Cleo called me as I entered her house. Damien was there, lying on the couch watching TV.456Please respect copyright.PENANA1rmztXs3no
456Please respect copyright.PENANANuKNju2O2K
“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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAakJ8YklSId
456Please respect copyright.PENANAjjDvQdslOw
“I'm good. You? Started studying?” Damien asked me and put his head on my lap; keeping his eyes on the TV.456Please respect copyright.PENANA5F0fXPiaIM
456Please respect copyright.PENANADX37tehGNf
“Yeah, English and maths.”456Please respect copyright.PENANAAVzqPcJ746

“Mom left spaghetti but I want pizza,” Cleo said pouting “What do you want?” she looked at Damien and me.456Please respect copyright.PENANAH2q881xiNS
456Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ogu4VdgA2
“Pizza,” I agreed.456Please respect copyright.PENANANFMJ45sCy1

“Whatever. I'm going upstairs,” Damien said.456Please respect copyright.PENANAuIdJ2qZpJ0
456Please respect copyright.PENANA5wkxA5JsJD
“What’s up?” Cleo asked as soon as Damien disappeared from the stairs.456Please respect copyright.PENANAZT409RBcAl
456Please respect copyright.PENANAxKASfoThs5
“What am I going to do with Alex?” I asked her.456Please respect copyright.PENANAr2yxytpGW3
456Please respect copyright.PENANATT4wqaXFrS
“Call him!”456Please respect copyright.PENANAwceddUyDMp
456Please respect copyright.PENANAXLhvzyZD8G
“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!”456Please respect copyright.PENANAqVnOpKSHp7
456Please respect copyright.PENANAFTGjkN3NXd
“Breathe!” Cleo shook my shoulders “You’re rushing into things!”456Please respect copyright.PENANAMvkpGgAXI6
456Please respect copyright.PENANA5jXzkY0RE4
“I want pizza,” I said out of the blue putting my thoughts aside as my stomach growled. Nothing ruins my appetite or my sleep.456Please respect copyright.PENANAuTQEMYEuTO
456Please respect copyright.PENANAaLrIJLQ0Bd
“Where’s the phone?” I asked, intending to order the pizzas.456Please respect copyright.PENANAuBpnQ6HRSK
456Please respect copyright.PENANAQsMoSQ4bDj
“Damien’s got it I guess,” she said looking around at the living room.456Please respect copyright.PENANAtBWhYorbwR

“I'm going,” I said, standing up.456Please respect copyright.PENANAwUGgkGvJ8w
456Please respect copyright.PENANARyZ8vQ3gXr
I walked up the stairs and towards his room. I could hear voices from the tv while I knocked on the door.456Please respect copyright.PENANAvFI6QS7lvx
456Please respect copyright.PENANARFdMiSq3mJ
“Yeah,” I heard him call. His voice was hoarse and calm.456Please respect copyright.PENANAsuO03ALmmC
456Please respect copyright.PENANAxkvyJ1N9Yc
“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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAbFwaS01DM4
456Please respect copyright.PENANAYfoUa7Le3R
“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.456Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xyy858mal
456Please respect copyright.PENANAAPvoBpUpau
“We’re ordering pizza. There’s beer in the fridge. Want anything else?”456Please respect copyright.PENANAHDFMPeAhA7
456Please respect copyright.PENANAm15hgZxuAp
“Nuh,” and he looked around “Just cleaning,” he said and a small grin appeared on his thin lips.456Please respect copyright.PENANAHiMtFvGhYy
456Please respect copyright.PENANAbAfG0IKdA0
“Haha. Keep dreaming. I'm not doing that anymore!” I said “I own you some punches though.”456Please respect copyright.PENANAaATXofot84
456Please respect copyright.PENANAw8Yb1u5gyJ
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAZi4ID2EOY7
456Please respect copyright.PENANAOXqYHA7Vmr
“Try,” he raised an eyebrow smirking.456Please respect copyright.PENANA25fgja473y
456Please respect copyright.PENANAkbswqIGt7p
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAiseQj1NLp2
456Please respect copyright.PENANAQA1BmlJuuU
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANACs5dfKcfTC
456Please respect copyright.PENANAyyE1RrSISj
“Ouch,” I yelled and pushed into his chest to decrease the pain on my arms.456Please respect copyright.PENANACnBuEUs0oT
456Please respect copyright.PENANA1OwrmghZjb
“Will you try that again?” He asked closed to my ear.456Please respect copyright.PENANAMUQkUqjcDF
456Please respect copyright.PENANAHDuPVAG330
“Of course!” I never fall without a fight. He pulled my hands more and I pushed more into him; our bodies collided.456Please respect copyright.PENANAXPSZUtCVue
456Please respect copyright.PENANAAQXbvy8KJE
“I'm like a bow-tie!” I cried.456Please respect copyright.PENANAPLWoOtnCxZ
456Please respect copyright.PENANAv5MeS1XWU5
“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.456Please respect copyright.PENANASNTmUYeeSI
456Please respect copyright.PENANA5XfuJsu6rW
“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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAxpat2GSxfb
456Please respect copyright.PENANASdqSkvMWYu
“Yes. Because you’re admitting your defeat,” he grinned. I sighed.456Please respect copyright.PENANAagQzVnA9BR
456Please respect copyright.PENANAxcht2zXycE
“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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAN145Gs4NxW

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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAYhu4B4rbfu
456Please respect copyright.PENANAJ17hqGZCxk
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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAvPIJDWqrRZ
456Please respect copyright.PENANAv42Izmjse9
“I ADORE YOU!!!” I screamed jumping in his arms “You’re fantastic! I love love love love you!!” I squished him into my arms.456Please respect copyright.PENANAqF8NmMVFM7
456Please respect copyright.PENANAjFgN64eUb0
“Cant-breathe,” he chocked as I was all over him.456Please respect copyright.PENANAIRkSxJ3Qv0

456Please respect copyright.PENANALHOAFSDM1t
“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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAd2tlwMsRGH
456Please respect copyright.PENANASVKITprBxS
“Thanks sweety,” I said kissing her “How long it’s been since you had sex?” I said to Max.456Please respect copyright.PENANAtjJ04zmkmE

“Six weeks.”456Please respect copyright.PENANAnt7NrzHbG8

“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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAKGDaqk5hQT
456Please respect copyright.PENANAkF84LwEXuK
“Oh,” it was all she managed to say. She did get into the Fashion Design school she wanted to.456Please respect copyright.PENANAKybksDTs3Q

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.456Please respect copyright.PENANAObv2HLgTwU
