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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAUaN0GLVzuF
421Please respect copyright.PENANAAfl747Z23y
Since am already with him; am going for the latter.421Please respect copyright.PENANAFpacBwMn8j

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.421Please respect copyright.PENANARMzBUuK4fW
421Please respect copyright.PENANAUvexP2W7ZW
“Oh my God,” I said as I entered the room.421Please respect copyright.PENANAaBnGTS260y
421Please respect copyright.PENANAtOBXPICNaN
“What?” she asked startled.421Please respect copyright.PENANAyPnsKXfdJA
421Please respect copyright.PENANAxTkcIAVMmF
“Dude, you’re so in love,” I mocked.421Please respect copyright.PENANA5PO39U0nsM
421Please respect copyright.PENANAoeXFKReEow
“I know,” she sighed and fell back in bed, tapping the spot next to her.421Please respect copyright.PENANAnPjbgx1xEq

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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAOhXeZTSb7V
421Please respect copyright.PENANAwOnRyvzhr0
“What’s up with you?” I asked him.421Please respect copyright.PENANAGGRiXUC1m1
421Please respect copyright.PENANAHI5Ku3APdG
“I had sex,” he smirked.421Please respect copyright.PENANAyS7lztkUxd
421Please respect copyright.PENANA8upyKRYkFV
“Finally!” I exclaimed smiling widely.421Please respect copyright.PENANAvk5GJ9MKGe
421Please respect copyright.PENANAH05hBLlISl
“By the way, we’re leaving in three days,” Cleo said suddenly ignoring her brother.421Please respect copyright.PENANAlLFl4RsGjL
421Please respect copyright.PENANAoGHM5NHvls
“Where to?” I asked.421Please respect copyright.PENANAIvDDWkfPUa
421Please respect copyright.PENANAc7sYv3AdqF
“The summer house,” she grinned.421Please respect copyright.PENANAClkPHGo2zd
421Please respect copyright.PENANAcb6SBTaWXE
“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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAV1JktpBZXE
421Please respect copyright.PENANAlDBJFCjjdS
“Dude, seriously, you thought that anyone bought that?” Max asked.421Please respect copyright.PENANA79ugrptxTd
421Please respect copyright.PENANAOHRd3gXBGY
“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed “For how long are we going?” I asked.421Please respect copyright.PENANAgwuSvqoCn3
421Please respect copyright.PENANAg4EL1hsqnb
“A week maybe,” Max said.421Please respect copyright.PENANAJqZ3jGMEoG
421Please respect copyright.PENANAyL5Rs4ozbP
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAW36pvPs7Do

We were leaving the next morning and I was packing my stuff when my mum came in my room.421Please respect copyright.PENANAtwxRqgmGFm
421Please respect copyright.PENANACK19AyydKv
“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.421Please respect copyright.PENANATooKiIMNAg
421Please respect copyright.PENANAddWvdgdHUM
“St. Mauritius Island,” I mumbled defeated.421Please respect copyright.PENANAsaGHooX7Hn
421Please respect copyright.PENANAXVSA8oyzaV
“Had fun?” she asked, still standing in the doorway.421Please respect copyright.PENANA0ve4uuRsJ9
421Please respect copyright.PENANAbPwOCpSXfy
“Yeah,” I turned around to face her “Sorry I didn’t tell you,” I winced.421Please respect copyright.PENANAUeju8X7uLQ
421Please respect copyright.PENANA31PCmhIQXR
“That’s ok,” she smiled “Now tell me because am dying; how is he?” she grinned.421Please respect copyright.PENANAwcXrUxOPTz
421Please respect copyright.PENANAUDpQ0TnuxK
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAoC5FDq2aa0

“Tall, blond and handsome. He has a good sense of humor but can be intimidating.”421Please respect copyright.PENANAZFlYbRKDbm
421Please respect copyright.PENANADNY12Vq1W1
“Treats you well?” she asked.421Please respect copyright.PENANAN8nhM4pw1i
421Please respect copyright.PENANAypO4oHXaXT
“Yes, he wrote the rules for gentlemen,” I replied with a small, shy smile.421Please respect copyright.PENANAHYjRrwziQt
421Please respect copyright.PENANAog9nFGQwmo
“What’s his name?”421Please respect copyright.PENANARuAaTYNEc1
421Please respect copyright.PENANAQoyBFHgcBH
“Alex White,” I murmured.421Please respect copyright.PENANAdnc48bVXpU
421Please respect copyright.PENANAh0wMU3IprJ
“The Alex White?” she choked and I nodded. She raised her eyebrows and nodded approving “Hope you had fun,” she winced.421Please respect copyright.PENANATuHuVsdF8i
421Please respect copyright.PENANAG0JegSbiD3
“I did,” I grinned before she left.421Please respect copyright.PENANAcC404xIn0T

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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA8Tl3INqWCC
421Please respect copyright.PENANAAWjzBUJsOD
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAJGCG7f4aZY
421Please respect copyright.PENANAmYvRxX3o4e
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAgLaZvcz25H
Not good.421Please respect copyright.PENANAGp3EXWU7fJ

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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAf8rki67skq
421Please respect copyright.PENANA1rXGtE1M6y
“Go away,” I groaned to whoever it was.421Please respect copyright.PENANAKMTMfFEVlG
421Please respect copyright.PENANAek4sgfaPIA
“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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAgiHS8CZV5G
421Please respect copyright.PENANA8LV5fBbX6T
“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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA3GwlLTfckD
421Please respect copyright.PENANAaeTlflJdIi
“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.421Please respect copyright.PENANABxOOy9lCji
421Please respect copyright.PENANADiymuACRhl
“Shut up,” I mumbled “I want to go to sleep. Leave,” I said and fell back on the bed.421Please respect copyright.PENANAMIuJQEmxmC
421Please respect copyright.PENANAEpaWPyFEvd
“It’s my room!” he raised an eyebrow.421Please respect copyright.PENANAYk4KqU69sK
421Please respect copyright.PENANAOmAparNo2Q
“Have mercy,” I pleaded.421Please respect copyright.PENANAUeJ8mQ5SVv
421Please respect copyright.PENANAXrKrCMUUg7
“Nope,” he refused and sat down on the bed again. He started tickling me and pinching me. My sleep mood was gone.421Please respect copyright.PENANAwJEjaFVFGe
421Please respect copyright.PENANAXgGKjXjLa3
“At least get out and let me get dressed,” I mumbled; my eyes still shut.421Please respect copyright.PENANAwyPlCwdu1l
421Please respect copyright.PENANAl7vlreOCJ5
“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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAfIH6l8jXmp

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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAZgKrtRMSIa
421Please respect copyright.PENANAyzH2cxXJqS
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAcfaIjArdMd
421Please respect copyright.PENANA3lyoVviZZw
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA9jfAQnjDsc
421Please respect copyright.PENANAFlh5J14NgL
“Not a morning person,” Damien chuckled and I glared at him.421Please respect copyright.PENANAqimGovl5sq
421Please respect copyright.PENANAOSXJEJTxLQ
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAqZPMPCZwCN
421Please respect copyright.PENANAgLX7uDTzyK
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.421Please respect copyright.PENANA7p2WpLOGQD
421Please respect copyright.PENANAs3ePBFHWan
“Mike’s coming,” she answered my unspoken question.421Please respect copyright.PENANAvmDkjXq6we
421Please respect copyright.PENANAPNxF7R6TvN
“Cool,” I winked at her.421Please respect copyright.PENANAnB4jfTpnvr
421Please respect copyright.PENANAlz8Lj1hIZB
“OH! She spoke!!” Matt exclaimed looking at me faking a wide eye expression.421Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZiW3Wwafw
421Please respect copyright.PENANAFB5VAoyaAn
“Shut up Mattie,” I told him narrowing my eyes.421Please respect copyright.PENANAuIioBSscsP
421Please respect copyright.PENANAqMtXYjQU8O
“Where am I sleeping?” I pouted. The only free bed was their parent’s bed and I wasn’t keen on that idea.421Please respect copyright.PENANAeUVVgZI0A0
421Please respect copyright.PENANAOfZKlFLV2U
“The big bed is taken by Matt and Jenny,” Damien said; announcing that way that the couple would be joining us.421Please respect copyright.PENANAivZvjufiw4
421Please respect copyright.PENANA6D2aovQayi
“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.421Please respect copyright.PENANABN28WCOFMJ
421Please respect copyright.PENANAQkNM2hVr9k
“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.421Please respect copyright.PENANAkKv8zfIakS
421Please respect copyright.PENANAF94xmqeCaO
We spend the rest of day by the swimming pool fooling around; me glancing at my phone regularly for a message that never came.421Please respect copyright.PENANAjuUPeYC3rv
