“Hey babe,” Cleo called me as I entered her house. Damien was there, lying on the couch watching TV.426Please respect copyright.PENANAwgF2rdVpY2
426Please respect copyright.PENANAJnAicLqxds
“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAAAFPLBobcC
426Please respect copyright.PENANAkf0WHoS3hf
“I'm good. You? Started studying?” Damien asked me and put his head on my lap; keeping his eyes on the TV.426Please respect copyright.PENANAxhvZAFs95M
426Please respect copyright.PENANA9GG6vm7ojW
“Yeah, English and maths.”426Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZUAyDwSmT

“Mom left spaghetti but I want pizza,” Cleo said pouting “What do you want?” she looked at Damien and me.426Please respect copyright.PENANAdM4zEOPSUC
426Please respect copyright.PENANA3QgJsReS87
“Pizza,” I agreed.426Please respect copyright.PENANAi9gh21ajA5

“Whatever. I'm going upstairs,” Damien said.426Please respect copyright.PENANA7KZMyP8U2f
426Please respect copyright.PENANASod0vadKon
“What’s up?” Cleo asked as soon as Damien disappeared from the stairs.426Please respect copyright.PENANAPWqLIYPo80
426Please respect copyright.PENANAm0g14QvK3W
“What am I going to do with Alex?” I asked her.426Please respect copyright.PENANAHmB0JEy0Nx
426Please respect copyright.PENANAdvIr6cYcdU
“Call him!”426Please respect copyright.PENANANw6CJE2SPs
426Please respect copyright.PENANAF5EiZfLfA4
“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!”426Please respect copyright.PENANAVe3pWmIZOE
426Please respect copyright.PENANAOr7Ni980zN
“Breathe!” Cleo shook my shoulders “You’re rushing into things!”426Please respect copyright.PENANADpXLC3Bj3Y
426Please respect copyright.PENANAqDZd7PuO6X
“I want pizza,” I said out of the blue putting my thoughts aside as my stomach growled. Nothing ruins my appetite or my sleep.426Please respect copyright.PENANAIt5By1Byyq
426Please respect copyright.PENANATHtdscGBpB
“Where’s the phone?” I asked, intending to order the pizzas.426Please respect copyright.PENANAShzVEbP2V7
426Please respect copyright.PENANADYTfUXAiwf
“Damien’s got it I guess,” she said looking around at the living room.426Please respect copyright.PENANAe9R611UYyA
426Please respect copyright.PENANASxwkabnRvR
“I'm going,” I said, standing up.426Please respect copyright.PENANAsAttdT46oU
426Please respect copyright.PENANANqNkym0YoN
I walked up the stairs and towards his room. I could hear voices from the tv while I knocked on the door.426Please respect copyright.PENANArr9iOIlrlL
426Please respect copyright.PENANANaj2qoQzB3
“Yeah,” I heard him call. His voice was hoarse and calm.426Please respect copyright.PENANAvNeHSeOXcU
426Please respect copyright.PENANA9n8NpHEkdQ
“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAsesBzNBGvb
426Please respect copyright.PENANAiypF6S4nnh
“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAXJJWdTG7jT
426Please respect copyright.PENANAf0b3S3lGI0
“We’re ordering pizza. There’s beer in the fridge. Want anything else?”426Please respect copyright.PENANAh2fxd9fyux
426Please respect copyright.PENANA1bJIhfWQck
“Nuh,” and he looked around “Just cleaning,” he said and a small grin appeared on his thin lips.426Please respect copyright.PENANASm4BZb2ccd
426Please respect copyright.PENANAqpNACczx1E
“Haha. Keep dreaming. I'm not doing that anymore!” I said “I own you some punches though.”426Please respect copyright.PENANA5bGS7SNKJQ
426Please respect copyright.PENANADnWrwjHht3
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.426Please respect copyright.PENANACdJV8acUWx
426Please respect copyright.PENANAEJdTh7EGmb
“Try,” he raised an eyebrow smirking.426Please respect copyright.PENANALGzgALQmVB
426Please respect copyright.PENANArhhQoVp8V9
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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAhgQzHN63wA
426Please respect copyright.PENANARP7U9blzBT
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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAwBTOrdOv4N
426Please respect copyright.PENANAzWRlwe9jXb
“Ouch,” I yelled and pushed into his chest to decrease the pain on my arms.426Please respect copyright.PENANAFvHJDLjdA5
426Please respect copyright.PENANA6eD7Mnm0sU
“Will you try that again?” He asked closed to my ear.426Please respect copyright.PENANA4MKfUR1y8b
426Please respect copyright.PENANAxp4Wa94CAD
“Of course!” I never fall without a fight. He pulled my hands more and I pushed more into him; our bodies collided.426Please respect copyright.PENANA9VgglNJHJI
426Please respect copyright.PENANAbn3PLsJOLP
“I'm like a bow-tie!” I cried.426Please respect copyright.PENANA8dwtE8QScy
426Please respect copyright.PENANABuQnM4d8En
“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAbKf50q8zPV
426Please respect copyright.PENANAdFOChh0B02
“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANA2oAy1eikEh
426Please respect copyright.PENANAC8oDVkQUH5
“Yes. Because you’re admitting your defeat,” he grinned. I sighed.426Please respect copyright.PENANAQGW2BLt5R9
426Please respect copyright.PENANAc1ntSd2D2a
“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAVdE8yAlTgV

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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAoX9lkZTf1l
426Please respect copyright.PENANA8bOJdMOVQ2
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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAWzrt4oAL3U
426Please respect copyright.PENANAAIiG9h7Xb9
“I ADORE YOU!!!” I screamed jumping in his arms “You’re fantastic! I love love love love you!!” I squished him into my arms.426Please respect copyright.PENANAtgQdXT0bub
426Please respect copyright.PENANAtrlwGANVss
“Cant-breathe,” he chocked as I was all over him.426Please respect copyright.PENANAyoE503MWyA

“You will love love love me too when you’ll have a night of passion,” Cleo said.426Please respect copyright.PENANAXqfbdFdMIQ

“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAqFCHeDXtv2
426Please respect copyright.PENANApjoDVzkfxo
“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANARmiXAi3wyY
426Please respect copyright.PENANARllyl0chw5
“Thanks sweety,” I said kissing her “How long it’s been since you had sex?” I said to Max.426Please respect copyright.PENANAD2OXJoxcsr

“Six weeks.”426Please respect copyright.PENANAIFnRPM0mo9

426Please respect copyright.PENANAOnpNiLEnhE
“Sorry,” he sighed pouting.426Please respect copyright.PENANAQbAAK0vzpg

“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.426Please respect copyright.PENANA2gGy4wJA39
426Please respect copyright.PENANAAbkey4CZaP
“Oh,” it was all she managed to say. She did get into the Fashion Design school she wanted to.426Please respect copyright.PENANARBhVz6z2cY

426Please respect copyright.PENANATsZysPnkH3
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.426Please respect copyright.PENANAhfaFBswlG9
426Please respect copyright.PENANAEr1CutZ71t

“The only problem is that it’s 7 in the morning. I doubt drinking is cool right now,” I frowned.426Please respect copyright.PENANAQA67drSh4S

I had given my code to my dad the previous night, so he could see before calling me. So, when my mum called, she already knew I got in and was screaming “congrats”; I could hear my dad behind her calling the same word.426Please respect copyright.PENANAkaBGFTbE2k
426Please respect copyright.PENANAonyuG1N3oG
