176Please respect copyright.PENANAW7OxZej440
Bethany lays on Grayson's chest in his arms as he rests his eyes, her doing the same in his shared apartment where Ester, Mikey and Solayo reside. Sitting not far from Bethany and Grayson is an empty cheese, chocolate and fruit platter and an elequoant empty bottle, two glasses.176Please respect copyright.PENANASv7lq6Bnfe
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmMOVMDwX40
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.176Please respect copyright.PENANALkcgpf9jL8
176Please respect copyright.PENANAvgRAdfderl
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."176Please respect copyright.PENANA0wmA6CZ86I
176Please respect copyright.PENANA7RMst0SDvQ
"I'm suprised his..."176Please respect copyright.PENANAIseUtEulEK
176Please respect copyright.PENANAndSwJ2tM5j
"He just doesn't wanna stay down there miserable that bastard. His doing this for himself rather than for the benfit of everyone in this community, to get time outside."176Please respect copyright.PENANAzA9abicghG
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkVKpIYuTWB
"Well, it's not really time outside. He doesn't get to go out onto the farm or anything. It's still the lower floors in the minus." Estes speaks up.176Please respect copyright.PENANADb4SAfrX6m
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKHN05m3X4Z
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAIUM0sdq1O4
176Please respect copyright.PENANAfT6gCF81sG
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.176Please respect copyright.PENANAVh2l8KVSOm
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGsc9Bvuejo
"As long as it takes all of them. One doesn't get to leave, they all have to be ready. The chaos that would ensue if each one isn't ready and able to cope- What are you doing, Grayson?" Solayo speaks up, eyes annoyed when he sees Beth, the food and the booze.176Please respect copyright.PENANAsgOuMD1tcb
176Please respect copyright.PENANApLxz16R05H
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"176Please respect copyright.PENANAE0WJX1zVRs
176Please respect copyright.PENANAm6LeQr0Crx
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.176Please respect copyright.PENANASV7GaEQRha
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYs24Ckfqqt
"Shut up both of you. Grayson, please get your boxers on and yes or no, answer me honestly. Are you fooling around or do you like her? Because we have spent the last two months getting the ones who came back on meds as well, and this could disrupt her regime.176Please respect copyright.PENANA5JummGYgJv
176Please respect copyright.PENANAG87ESwS59Q
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAGFhZ6JhP0C
176Please respect copyright.PENANAQVLwLOP6WP
"She won't freak out. Merge erases their backstory, but not your consciousness. She wanted to- what her and me did, we both wanted this.176Please respect copyright.PENANA21Izlcmnir
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlfrLfQNMSI
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."176Please respect copyright.PENANArfmKmJx9lO
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1eyZ8TPVdI
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure if Slate knew, he'd have something to say about that-" But Mikey doesn't get to finish, Solayo backhanding him behind the ear. "I'm sorry, Solayo." 176Please respect copyright.PENANASQAErQElss
176Please respect copyright.PENANA1Upp2jdYoL
"He wouldn't, neither him or her barely remember eachother. She forgot how she came here, and now she forgot being here and escaping and it's the same for him." Solayo hisses. "As far as those two are concerned, the other is just a stranger who resides on the same floor as and they don't know how they got here except the false story I told them, they came at diffrent times.176Please respect copyright.PENANAZlvCM2Nruv
176Please respect copyright.PENANA5Foo0N9DGb
They barely interact socially."176Please respect copyright.PENANAjlGLR4hVyx
176Please respect copyright.PENANAezPL7VN8mH
"Gray, for fuck sake. Just pick up your pants." Ester says annoyed. "Hey, baby. I'm sorry, I'm just goanna move for a second." Grayson tells Beth gently, moving her head off his lap, pulling the bed sheet around him while he grabs his pants.176Please respect copyright.PENANAivGDQNjfCb
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmq8SbgGkFQ
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.176Please respect copyright.PENANAzzZQAcORMl
176Please respect copyright.PENANAHRD4zVElpX
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.176Please respect copyright.PENANApQvYbeBp5Z
176Please respect copyright.PENANA0ihOg75SuG
"Uh..."176Please respect copyright.PENANAoFgpIxQhV5
176Please respect copyright.PENANAU5DIKs1B1F
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"176Please respect copyright.PENANAtOloZrhDWY
176Please respect copyright.PENANAejYv82WyAr
"Ester, I'm sorry-"176Please respect copyright.PENANAZbqm3Ak5XA
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWee3tcgkip
"Don't you Ester me!"176Please respect copyright.PENANAklLug1AzSo
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmPfJN5MVQS
"Listen to her." Solayo snarls. "Now, I'm going to go set the table now for dinner. Get Beth dressed again and take her backdownstairs-" 176Please respect copyright.PENANAE0Wrk0m8TL
176Please respect copyright.PENANAC3DZZW8DIy
When there is a squeal, Beth diving for the small cheese knife. It's on the blunt side, but it's the only weapon in sight.176Please respect copyright.PENANAPwvVuQ69U7
176Please respect copyright.PENANAK9OvTHgaey
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.176Please respect copyright.PENANAHKaEfKQR7P
176Please respect copyright.PENANAnJ4qf4qwzz
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.176Please respect copyright.PENANA8D1gHaEDN8
176Please respect copyright.PENANALhAS34ZCLp
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.176Please respect copyright.PENANATVW0lB6kpP
176Please respect copyright.PENANAgdbriOhQvi
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.176Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3EYme9QK4
"We don't care, her meds are the problem! The open alochol there, the endorphines from- I'm not going to finish that last part!" Ester yells back.176Please respect copyright.PENANAwrSau3wYsl
176Please respect copyright.PENANAENBiHJlf0r
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.176Please respect copyright.PENANA6EeSwWW72e
176Please respect copyright.PENANAVGwK7yt6tp
"You don't remember us talking and-" 176Please respect copyright.PENANAGnfSaAEf3n
176Please respect copyright.PENANAVf2PVtLGGZ
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"176Please respect copyright.PENANAzNx2CJ5vWk
176Please respect copyright.PENANAF6jPM2WX3V
"Beth, I know you're scared. But I need you to hand over the knife. Can you do that? Hand it to me?" Mikey coaxes, gently sliding towards Bethany, gesturing with his hand when she aims it at him, threatening him too.176Please respect copyright.PENANAARRamAjzx7
176Please respect copyright.PENANABbdvGmeCqK
"Woah!"176Please respect copyright.PENANALUsyxiSU84
176Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0fs4WuWgS
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 176Please respect copyright.PENANArjx8JJW9zr
176Please respect copyright.PENANAr47g5p8JA0
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.176Please respect copyright.PENANANqBHdNhEgK
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"176Please respect copyright.PENANA1c3LgEMMOH
176Please respect copyright.PENANAKSzz5o6r73
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.176Please respect copyright.PENANAjG3CoPQgwd
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMRM4GKxbnB
When Beth's dressed, Ester has her sit and Mikey comes back over to them while Grayson hangs back a short distance. Solayo comes back over.176Please respect copyright.PENANAHNrzl50VD2
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtnl1ybt65m
"Now, Beth. This won't hurt much, just a small prick-" But she dives away, Mikey grabbing her by the foot and pulling her back. "No, you don't!" He yells. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAP07uROFSCU
176Please respect copyright.PENANAawqwJPTyiG
"Let go of me!" Beth yells at him, Ester stepping away as Solayo takes her other arm, assisting and presses down with the needle. "No, no! Ah-" She cries, starting to cry. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAlQXVwNIyks
176Please respect copyright.PENANAwzHIEAfs1W
He and Mikey roughly pick her up and move her from Grayson's bed to Ester, on account hers as restraints attached already... they secure them.176Please respect copyright.PENANAd1TjsCSYNM
176Please respect copyright.PENANAxVud8mJuuR
Ester sitting beside Mikey on his bed as they have dinner, Grayson on his own and Solayo on his own. They're almost finished when Beth wakes up a bit. Solayo quickly places his plate aside, hops down to Beth's level gently brushing her hair aside and keeps brushing her forehead.176Please respect copyright.PENANA66vmjcQr4I
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjhtqmmvS4v
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."176Please respect copyright.PENANAwIMCeecZcl
176Please respect copyright.PENANASP5fO6l9H9
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"176Please respect copyright.PENANA8MMnaynJH1
176Please respect copyright.PENANA181O6UXT0f
She nods weakly, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Okay, let's go there then." and he undoes the straps, lifting her up in his arms. "Mikey, with me. You both, stay here." He says annoyed as he leaves their apartment with Beth, Mikey following.176Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ7RKDpRvA
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuxx2dHoCiY
Outside, he gives Mikey his pass and have him swipe the door rendering Ester and Grayson's pass useless, then gives it back to Solayo who snatches it and continues off towards the elevator. 176Please respect copyright.PENANABMEnl7uv5t
176Please respect copyright.PENANAuuh8zfk3wD
When they head to floor 13, the rest of our group is dressed and ready for bed having had dinner when they see Solayo and Mikey with bed.176Please respect copyright.PENANAWLfT4xID01
176Please respect copyright.PENANAge86vDkOrq
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 176Please respect copyright.PENANALH5aaZ9KRC
176Please respect copyright.PENANA2c2wmfkkcx
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAiRuQpEsZCA
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWxtYnujdvE
"Good."176Please respect copyright.PENANAtG3nzoEYMy
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyEh7xYiyYq
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 176Please respect copyright.PENANADBwpYhziki
176Please respect copyright.PENANAHWhEgUR7UO
And Slate heads into his room, Mikey locking it behind him. He then ushers Cloud, Lyla and Gideo into their respective rooms. Paisley is already in bed, hardly leaves hers. "Night, Paisley. Sweet dreams..." Mikey trails off awkwardly, locking it.176Please respect copyright.PENANAHwhwYD0wMR
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMWul0i2ken
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAVIUtNNfMBN
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjVhdQ67mye
"Nah, we don't need em. She's calmer and we'll just sleep this off. Plus she ate anyway even if it wasn't dinner..."176Please respect copyright.PENANAn35jEBRZm5
176Please respect copyright.PENANATapIS5Lo7p
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."176Please respect copyright.PENANAUqcXsUHa2G
176Please respect copyright.PENANAGxbELSYsPi
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."176Please respect copyright.PENANAKw55hHvHrE
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmSyd8ZhZaa
"Okay. Y-yeah..."176Please respect copyright.PENANAo5JXJTKdPX
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMrHp7XnriA
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 176Please respect copyright.PENANALIqc3Udvha
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPcwh7ZolOX
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.176Please respect copyright.PENANAWcRP9ttlvq

(Three and half years later)176Please respect copyright.PENANAtqyi6KOTtT
176Please respect copyright.PENANAsVsqkEmZof
Our group now around 24-25 not that they know it are all getting out today, three years and a half is a long time, but they hardly recall over half their time. Working towards this part of their rehabilation was difficult when the real truth is it was never about redemption, it was just cruel punishment before it even began and after constant drugging, it's a concept they can't comprehend.176Please respect copyright.PENANAb1pOSA4sbX
176Please respect copyright.PENANAmynZWNTwnQ
Bethany's lying beside Gideon, head resting on shoulder as he sits on the floor, bouncing a plastic handball against the wall, coming right back to him.176Please respect copyright.PENANAUT5errfz0Z
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMCmDrTfH1m
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.176Please respect copyright.PENANAgQwjYaR5Of
176Please respect copyright.PENANAf4OJivdzCt
"Morning all." Cloud speaks up, coming out of his room. He recieves a few half hearted replies. With the group fairly unresponsive, he checks in on Lyla and Paisley, waking both girls. They each come out of their room.176Please respect copyright.PENANATJjxnci0lg
176Please respect copyright.PENANAyxWPRAHZBH
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.176Please respect copyright.PENANA8jAxdVvmQO
176Please respect copyright.PENANAbJMBZ75cTK
It seems we are actually getting out today so if you all could collect up what you have here that would be great, and it's also my understanding when we process out, there is some additional stuff we're to collect that we couldn't have due to safety."176Please respect copyright.PENANAfuyhNRrhu6
176Please respect copyright.PENANAPo8dxJ32Xa
"Safety?" Slate whispers. "Uh, I think you drew occasionally? I'm not sure, but I guess they didn't want you stabbing yourself, them or us with them.
Like the tip." Cloud answers awkwardly.176Please respect copyright.PENANAsIKg6iX6X0
176Please respect copyright.PENANAJbuzr5C5Jw
Unlike the others, he knows the Tomorrow Party and is good at faking it for the long haul. The amount of time he cheeked the unesscary drugs, disposed of them and never got caught. Three years though down here was a long time when you are aware and awake for it all.176Please respect copyright.PENANAYl86dIINmu
176Please respect copyright.PENANALOhOXsOXRJ
"So, that's it for the morning announcements. Breakfast is coming I believe and medication." He finishes, the door at the end of the corridor opening right on time. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAg9yVV4aKJS
176Please respect copyright.PENANALHaRW13h0Q
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.176Please respect copyright.PENANAmciKkv1N4T
176Please respect copyright.PENANAYU1Yu4IB0r
"Good, good. So eveyone, breakfast, then meds and grab your stuff please and then we are going to process you out into the population. You have stuff to collect you couldn't have down here, we trust you to hold them and behave appopritely."176Please respect copyright.PENANAXoQ5zc6cFY
176Please respect copyright.PENANAycBLIAivxJ
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.176Please respect copyright.PENANAHu0ZuILldq
176Please respect copyright.PENANAlBpQR1Xjg7
While they all eat, the leaders prepare their meds. "How you doing?" Solayo smiles, bending down to Paisley even though it's no longer Paisley, a topic that has not been discussed. The girl she is now knows, but rarely talks because what is she meant to say? Lyla and her know they are twins as they look the same, but each feel nothing emotionally.176Please respect copyright.PENANArYARz1OCzU
176Please respect copyright.PENANAWqsxFWcJPj
He holds out her med cup for her to take which contains the least amount of medication than everybody else. Inside is just one single tablet. She gulps it down, followed by a cup of water.176Please respect copyright.PENANAyhQ1ibAWXp
176Please respect copyright.PENANAh9h2VAZNlh
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.176Please respect copyright.PENANABfGWv0G1LX
176Please respect copyright.PENANAN1Gv6AHYxr
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 176Please respect copyright.PENANAi8Labkl5Nk
176Please respect copyright.PENANAnnqnAvTiFf
"Uh, fine I guess."176Please respect copyright.PENANA10fVa7JClh

"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAOS0NvcMcig
176Please respect copyright.PENANAgqzUa8LwNW
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAP2m6i4F1A3
176Please respect copyright.PENANAw4fZgfYh61
"There will be, I don't want you and others to be bored and sitting down here really doesn't feel all that productive, yeah?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAuqyHbLLvO4
176Please respect copyright.PENANAHM04ylelnL
"Yes, Sir."176Please respect copyright.PENANAmO6p5jIyrd
176Please respect copyright.PENANAMZp4bFFHNY
"Your meds." 176Please respect copyright.PENANAI3iE3kbQk3
176Please respect copyright.PENANABfkx78gwrK
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.176Please respect copyright.PENANAYZthVvyEM7
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9nOU16MnMc
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."176Please respect copyright.PENANADol0QIFUVe
176Please respect copyright.PENANAp6Ehar13Kn
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.176Please respect copyright.PENANANE5AmyJKhF
176Please respect copyright.PENANAejubwRAlCa
"Better now that you all are here."176Please respect copyright.PENANAFAFjpYTg0f
176Please respect copyright.PENANAkPd7uBfmTq
"You like our visits, good, good." Is Solayo's response. Despite the drugs, Beth's mood and fractured time eventally settled a bit for her to be able to go out with Grayson a bit. There was times they all got to leave for medical appointments and stuff, but she got to leave for other things sometime.176Please respect copyright.PENANAZqG23h71zm
176Please respect copyright.PENANAILGr8czSem
Only small though, sitting with Grayson on his lunchbreak even if it was only in the leaders apartment. No matter what it was, she looked forward to those far and few between events.176Please respect copyright.PENANAUWloJmBcat
176Please respect copyright.PENANAHOHYUfVGnG
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.176Please respect copyright.PENANAJXnuXbi9Iv
176Please respect copyright.PENANA3Jqr2Hcc2q
"Do I have to take them?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAuplokSPkDL
176Please respect copyright.PENANAINbT7NtAxH
"You do, we've been over this. You know how we explained to you before that your mood was quite, well, it changed rapidly through out the day?"176Please respect copyright.PENANAl2lbmtybkT
176Please respect copyright.PENANAXOOWCfLR0l
"Yeah."176Please respect copyright.PENANAdg92RVrpIE
176Please respect copyright.PENANAtMbYG7Bku6
"That's why, and sometimes you posed a threat to yourself, saw things and had seizures. We didn't want you to get hurt so that is why you take these meds so that doesn't happen again ever."176Please respect copyright.PENANAAQBzz0MoYX
176Please respect copyright.PENANAEgNUJFeKrA
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"176Please respect copyright.PENANA9Oh8stKLT1
176Please respect copyright.PENANANYci7Juylp
"If you're not ready to leave and your companions can't leave either-" He begins. "No, no. I'll take them. I'm sorry, Sir." She panics, downing them.176Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mfvh4jYaM
176Please respect copyright.PENANAIdVd6PDCqR
He checks her mouth seeing it's clear. "There we go, wasn't so hard." And stands. Once this is all over with, everyone collects the few clothes and items they have down here, the leaders leading them all to the elevator.176Please respect copyright.PENANAd8qUedPqim
176Please respect copyright.PENANANpzCWZBkF5
They enter, no one handcuffed as opposed to when they first came down here. "So, as we have discussed before, it's all going to be very overwhelming, there will be alot of people.176Please respect copyright.PENANABf1OwnTdUs
176Please respect copyright.PENANAv8yVsoEglF
We'll show you your rooms, take today to familarize yourself with everything. The day begins at 6:30 for you all and ends at 7 p.m. Lights out are at 9 and no one is allowed in the hall outside that time.176Please respect copyright.PENANAXmVbtVcrbD
176Please respect copyright.PENANA92kLzsLXkw
Security will be patrolling the halls. The only reasonable excuse to leave is the bathroom or an emergency like a medical emergency or an alarm goes off signalling evacuation.176Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ99n2PBxE
176Please respect copyright.PENANA6dnHpoJpdz
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."176Please respect copyright.PENANABTO4g9s5k2
176Please respect copyright.PENANAjJHHyfFQi7
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.176Please respect copyright.PENANAbhTFO6unEl
176Please respect copyright.PENANAS8CnRiwHMS
The elevator reaches the main floor and they step out, all in awe as they walk along the bridge seeing the farm outside and sunlight streaming in from above.176Please respect copyright.PENANAhQTpPFTaFt

"This is amazing." Gideon says, mouth open as they walk. They get a general tour. Cafeteria, shower and so on, are given their old tags with their first name on them and their keycards showing their access level. They are lead down a corridor that's a little more private and away from noise.176Please respect copyright.PENANAyswsoMVl56
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhpOM65Vc3U
Two doors. "On the left here will be the boys dormitory. Gideon, Cloud and Zekey. Ya'll have a dog you forgot about. His in our apartment so Mikey will be going back to collect him. You take good care of Zekey.176Please respect copyright.PENANAUHtWcF3FVW
176Please respect copyright.PENANAvLjanQACtx
Girls, you're all in the right room." And he opens both for our pair to split up and enter, looking around. "You want to go collect the stupid dog? I'm tired of it peeing around the place."176Please respect copyright.PENANAt5ZzR2owSt
176Please respect copyright.PENANADpYLxJ1DkY
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 176Please respect copyright.PENANApLzaakuXiD
176Please respect copyright.PENANAhc8Vy9h3JB
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 176Please respect copyright.PENANA0p2A738OuK
176Please respect copyright.PENANA9RaWsmNVyO
Ester goes with him to accompany him, Solayo leaves with Cloud to show him his room, a seperate private room all to his self and Grayson remains behind, gesturing for Bethany to come out and see him. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAO5BBoJfjMs
176Please respect copyright.PENANA98kgy3Pm6Z
She slips out while Lyla and Paisley are distracted putting their stuff away. "Hey you." She smiles, pushing Grayson against the wall, hands feeling his toned chest and starts kissing the side of his face, trailing down his neck. "Wow, okay. Thank you, that's nice." He blushes, pushing her away.176Please respect copyright.PENANABCyOHH3c6L

You can ask her if she wants you to stick your dick inside her, but while she's taking so many meds? No. Just because she's saying yes, doesn't make it okay. 176Please respect copyright.PENANAn7H8YjQ3XU
