I came back home happy and in love. I knew this would never last but the way I saw it, I had two options. I could either hold back, worrying that I might get hurt or I could enjoy it while it lasts.426Please respect copyright.PENANAuuieWrYHKJ
426Please respect copyright.PENANA0VegTz9VQE
Since am already with him; am going for the latter.426Please respect copyright.PENANARoa5Svf4Uq

As soon as I left my handbag at home, I run at Cleo’s; she had returned from the hotel an hour ago. I found her laying in bed staring at the ceiling.426Please respect copyright.PENANAAzP1JzcIm7
426Please respect copyright.PENANAXPgtNlmMyg
“Oh my God,” I said as I entered the room.426Please respect copyright.PENANAP6p3lzTnOQ
426Please respect copyright.PENANAbLuZ89EBPq
“What?” she asked startled.426Please respect copyright.PENANAx1opoS7yCg
426Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8WjfTZiqQ
“Dude, you’re so in love,” I mocked.426Please respect copyright.PENANAu40fnoqzRW
426Please respect copyright.PENANATag7vz2gGK
“I know,” she sighed and fell back in bed, tapping the spot next to her.426Please respect copyright.PENANAucZgHHFeg1
426Please respect copyright.PENANAYn1rrpDkuW
We had just finished talking about the weekend when Max came in; threw himself on the bed next to his sister. He had a weird, sneaky look on his face.426Please respect copyright.PENANAlNZsqlhEFZ
426Please respect copyright.PENANAtALhJZzs67
“What’s up with you?” I asked him.426Please respect copyright.PENANAqbWq03bgdb
426Please respect copyright.PENANA18908kvj2y
“I had sex,” he smirked.426Please respect copyright.PENANAw7A9PMcK51
426Please respect copyright.PENANAEVSWXzNPU4
“Finally!” I exclaimed smiling widely.426Please respect copyright.PENANAPUqxuNM9GD
426Please respect copyright.PENANAzHAJFCOUJN
“By the way, we’re leaving in three days,” Cleo said suddenly ignoring her brother.426Please respect copyright.PENANAKcdknuLzz3
426Please respect copyright.PENANAyynQlHyQNy
“Where to?” I asked.426Please respect copyright.PENANArVs2g17uql
426Please respect copyright.PENANA3cOv2MK0P4
“The summer house,” she grinned.426Please respect copyright.PENANAszHwEeea5m
426Please respect copyright.PENANAGFOtrna43l
“Didn’t we just come back from the summer house?” I asked since we told our parents we were at the summer house for the weekend.426Please respect copyright.PENANAVpch5BFLTy
426Please respect copyright.PENANAuiw5wrLDFH
“Dude, seriously, you thought that anyone bought that?” Max asked.426Please respect copyright.PENANAO6ewC09gkR
426Please respect copyright.PENANAMOCuttyhLV
“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed “For how long are we going?” I asked.426Please respect copyright.PENANA1sNom6P8QJ
426Please respect copyright.PENANAlqkpvmsh7W
“A week maybe,” Max said.426Please respect copyright.PENANAN2tfIR6N9C
426Please respect copyright.PENANAUkcOqDtLAs
Thinking about it, I felt a bit uneasy leaving Alex behind; I had the weird feeling that If I was away from him for too long he might let go; give up on me.426Please respect copyright.PENANAev9jBvJGuq

We were leaving the next morning and I was packing my stuff when my mum came in my room.426Please respect copyright.PENANAjBnxOaJsMD
426Please respect copyright.PENANAekZxEmZoLz
“So, where did he take you?” she asked; resting against the doorframe. I froze. Why does my mum always knows what am up to? I pretended to be deaf for a few moments but I knew she knew she was right.426Please respect copyright.PENANAqLD9U0I3VK
426Please respect copyright.PENANAaJVExdxkwZ
“St. Mauritius Island,” I mumbled defeated.426Please respect copyright.PENANAMbdCeRmbEZ
426Please respect copyright.PENANAmpvXLWjep2
“Had fun?” she asked, still standing in the doorway.426Please respect copyright.PENANA5v5npzyEki
426Please respect copyright.PENANAOIwWBm1u4J
“Yeah,” I turned around to face her “Sorry I didn’t tell you,” I winced.426Please respect copyright.PENANAhkmbN2XziI
426Please respect copyright.PENANApbII9CdOSu
“That’s ok,” she smiled “Now tell me because am dying; how is he?” she grinned.426Please respect copyright.PENANAQRMK8i4gKo

My mum was the kind of mum that took everything lightly. Like back when I was sixteen and wanted to go to the Gyn for birth control; she booked the appointment and came with me. Once, she even took dad out of the house so my boyfriend and I could have some time alone.426Please respect copyright.PENANAHDLfC1PKRA
426Please respect copyright.PENANAzz7QBUPrf7
“Tall, blond and handsome. He has a good sense of humor but can be intimidating.”426Please respect copyright.PENANAPQNHynEF2o
426Please respect copyright.PENANAL6XWhmaZY5
“Treats you well?” she asked.426Please respect copyright.PENANAQPtIoHtXEs
426Please respect copyright.PENANAu2zWmfYaqj
“Yes, he wrote the rules for gentlemen,” I replied with a small, shy smile.426Please respect copyright.PENANAuMR4beT8RG
426Please respect copyright.PENANAVXWbTx4TTC
“What’s his name?”426Please respect copyright.PENANA50mLuirlU7
426Please respect copyright.PENANA3PP6QfPEWU
“Alex White,” I murmured.426Please respect copyright.PENANAV4iGbXGhZQ
426Please respect copyright.PENANAtGj26KstAM
“The Alex White?” she choked and I nodded. She raised her eyebrows and nodded approving “Hope you had fun,” she winced.426Please respect copyright.PENANADilTHwbiNP
426Please respect copyright.PENANAV3MAc9o3yn
“I did,” I grinned before she left.426Please respect copyright.PENANAGmh5naYCaE

Max was driving for the past four hours so when he parked his car on the driveway he quickly got out of the car, stretching his body. His new girlfriend, Lexie, had joined us and made him extra cheerful. Good thing about Max was that his girls were always getting along with Cleo and me. Once, a girl couldn’t deal with us as she was jealous of me being his best friend, he broke up with her after two weeks.426Please respect copyright.PENANAr8jkd8dMOr
426Please respect copyright.PENANAPhBuzR81rn
I called Alex as soon as I got settled down to see how he was. No surprise there; he was supposed to leave tomorrow for another business trip.426Please respect copyright.PENANAU1O9ItGKk2
426Please respect copyright.PENANAuwqlBLEVCa
I was thankful I wasn’t home be0cause I’ll had to endured with his absence once again. This is really starting to bag me; forming some kind of addiction. I want to be with him all the time and when am not, I can’t take him out of my mind.426Please respect copyright.PENANAysY4rL6eHx
Not good.426Please respect copyright.PENANARvnh2Zf3i6

After a night full of dancing at the local club, I was woken up by someone sitting on my bed; shuffling my hair. I pulled the sheet above my head in response but the person didn’t move.426Please respect copyright.PENANAkK1gTtRHIQ
426Please respect copyright.PENANAzjnclTfuim
“Go away,” I groaned to whoever it was.426Please respect copyright.PENANAWWiUKgXugm
426Please respect copyright.PENANAWYiHMv52gJ
“You go away. You’re in my room,” the voice chuckled. It was Damien. Cleo and I were too bored to set up the camp bed in her bedroom the previous day so I was sleeping in his bed since it wasn’t occupied.426Please respect copyright.PENANAwUXaKszyaZ
426Please respect copyright.PENANA5hdyu58ugz
“Leave,” I murmured; he took my hand and pulled me out of the bed. “Jesus,” I groaned as I was now sitting on the bed; him in front of me holding my hand and laughing hard.426Please respect copyright.PENANADUqcgYM2Hz
426Please respect copyright.PENANASIprhvzFcT
“What?” I exclaimed and he showed me the mirror on the opposite wall. My hair looked like a bush and my red pajama short was inside out.426Please respect copyright.PENANACfkyjsEv3W
426Please respect copyright.PENANAXZt11tZ1oB
“Shut up,” I mumbled “I want to go to sleep. Leave,” I said and fell back on the bed.426Please respect copyright.PENANA2xw21ZUt45
426Please respect copyright.PENANA9gzuoCWAPG
“It’s my room!” he raised an eyebrow.426Please respect copyright.PENANA6EqQDkoqpS
426Please respect copyright.PENANA089JQ0GdAW
“Have mercy,” I pleaded.426Please respect copyright.PENANAK3c8RIdtCJ
426Please respect copyright.PENANAjNwHmLIKEl
“Nope,” he refused and sat down on the bed again. He started tickling me and pinching me. My sleep mood was gone.426Please respect copyright.PENANAUlB0pl96rz
426Please respect copyright.PENANAqWkL4w8GvL
“At least get out and let me get dressed,” I mumbled; my eyes still shut.426Please respect copyright.PENANActBJbw8PSo
426Please respect copyright.PENANAjwZX7PLnzo
“WIN!” he yelled and got up as I sat up against the mattress once again. I looked at him with narrowed eyes and cried out a sigh as he left the room. I hate him. I hate how much I like him.426Please respect copyright.PENANAvy9CoazGvd

When I managed to wake up Cleo, I went down to the kitchen and made coffee. Damien was sitting near the pool with a friend I recognize to be Matt, Damien' s best friend since high school. A girl was sitting beside Matt; her posture confessed she was his girlfriend.426Please respect copyright.PENANAw9mYde2iLE
426Please respect copyright.PENANAtHGaegZjQU
She surely wasn’t with Damien because he never mentioned that he had a girlfriend. Now that I come to think about it; he never actually said anything about any girl he dated. I knew he played the field just because Max always was admiring him. I only saw him with a girl once, at a club that we both happen to be.426Please respect copyright.PENANABcfCSlupTo
426Please respect copyright.PENANAwC3IyMmGfp
I took my glass of coffee and went to sit with them; not caring if I was intruding. I only nodded my head when Matt said good morning.426Please respect copyright.PENANAjiIxQgxccy
426Please respect copyright.PENANAwgXRQ6vxRI
“Not a morning person,” Damien chuckled and I glared at him.426Please respect copyright.PENANAZDTSv8zQf2
426Please respect copyright.PENANAhlfVjgfjoK
I sat there quietly for a good twenty minutes listening to them talking. Turns out that I was right; the girl, named Jenny, was Matt’s girlfriend.426Please respect copyright.PENANAE6eq2GtcRd
426Please respect copyright.PENANAK4SUelFNuZ
Cleo appeared on the sliding glass doorway smiling. I looked at her tilting my head on the side trying to figure out what was with her.426Please respect copyright.PENANA8qFlF4UfTL
426Please respect copyright.PENANASOOGafZQGu
“Mike’s coming,” she answered my unspoken question.426Please respect copyright.PENANA6etPiXKtGB
426Please respect copyright.PENANAbpnKxiFzSt
“Cool,” I winked at her.426Please respect copyright.PENANAzUtIB8FIGT
426Please respect copyright.PENANATwb1SzKDO8
“OH! She spoke!!” Matt exclaimed looking at me faking a wide eye expression.426Please respect copyright.PENANA9XXYAvD85k
426Please respect copyright.PENANAzvq8e7a7og
“Shut up Mattie,” I told him narrowing my eyes.426Please respect copyright.PENANAZTorHjzhIY
426Please respect copyright.PENANA4XWK3INaZh
“Where am I sleeping?” I pouted. The only free bed was their parent’s bed and I wasn’t keen on that idea.426Please respect copyright.PENANAHBA49Vd3Y4
426Please respect copyright.PENANAc2bmT6zgEn
“The big bed is taken by Matt and Jenny,” Damien said; announcing that way that the couple would be joining us.426Please respect copyright.PENANAkE8L3Gv05P
426Please respect copyright.PENANAnA40wSYdfg
“Fine by me. I'm sleeping where I slept last night!” I decided “Find a bed to crash Simmons,” I crooked a smile towards Damien.426Please respect copyright.PENANAegL5rM9olL
426Please respect copyright.PENANAxGN4WKjizc
“Yeah right,” he mocked. I raised my eyebrow, making him realize I wasn’t anywhere near joking. He didn’t speak again; he just frowned.426Please respect copyright.PENANAEpo9BKTQdn
426Please respect copyright.PENANAosKM1uzIBZ
We spend the rest of day by the swimming pool fooling around; me glancing at my phone regularly for a message that never came.426Please respect copyright.PENANAOgmz4MRKZ8
