When I come to think about how things with Damien started it felt a little bit hasty. I was still with Alex when Damien kissed me for the first time. And then I was getting over Alex when I kissed him the night we got together.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfznRswpVG
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe6irnTAYS
But then again, my feelings for Damien were always there. It wasn’t something new. He wasn’t just a rebound guy. I was always in love with him. My thoughts were interrupted by a set of lips brushing against my neck.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvA4aXVLN1
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK530MJDUo
“Jeez!” I jumped up. I was standing in the kitchen, making a pile of plates as I unloaded the washing machine.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEuZ7EVldO
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3HjNXYCuO
“Scared you?” Damien chuckled. I nodded and turned around. He leaned down and kissed me; his lips cupping my own.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZzmZEHCA3
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmnccOVw0p
“Third person in the room!” Max said as he walked passed us. I pulled back and blushed.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IsAH64aus
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL68PraCfFT
“We’re leaving anyway,” Damien told him. Cleo walked in the kitchen at the same time.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5HaMqtjlV
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMU7YC7MLG
“Wait a little longer, I haven’t finished here,” I told Damien.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40zXgLEUIn
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDqWT69lWn
“I’ll finish up,” Cleo said “There’s nothing left in the living room.” Her voice was all wrong.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9rsrCBTc
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrCVE8BCWf
“Are you sure? You sound tired,” I winced. Maybe she was indeed tired.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYyBt9pLRX
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBi1eEwLr6
“Yes. I’ll unload the washing machine and go to bed. Eliza, the cleaning lady, is coming over tomorrow,” she assured me. “Oh, I got your stuff,” she smiled; it seemed a little bit forced.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTaZeujcpB
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpXTU2hisF
“Thanks,” I smiled back and turned towards the dining table that she motioned me towards. “What’s that envelope?” I frowned as I looked over the A4 white envelope that was sitting over my jacket. Damien towered over me.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfuEf0weIC
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5g2JBVsmf
“Your gift,” she grinned “Open it.” That smile was legitimate and made me feel better.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkD4ja4PKG
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HMxY7nsQ2
“What is it?” I frowned and opened the envelope. Max was there in a second. “Will you back up? Jeez,” I frowned at the Simmons brothers. I teared open the envelope and pulled out a magazine; ELLE magazine. A paper came with it. I burst out laughing and turned to look at her, but both Damien and Max were blocking my view in order to read the paper. “Move away!” I pushed them and almost run to Cleo. I threw my arms around her and hugged her. “You bossy little freak!”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPAvWbYC8Q
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48mF6OQL08
“I have to put some sense of fashion into you! Your initiation is great, but you needed this!” she chuckled for the twenty-four months subscription she bought me.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V65tcYonV
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BUkRw0JKb
“Can we go now?” Damien asked sounding bored and impatient as I pulled away from Cleo.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwtvwlSssc
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiif5vO8Qaz
“Don’t push your luck,” I warned him and turned to Cleo again “Thank you,” I smiled at her.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvbEAbiZ0w

“Weird gift,” Max mumbled and made me chuckle.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMHJdSlOrW

Damien did not waste time once we got inside my renovated garage. As soon as I turned on the air-conditioning and removed my jacket he walked up to me and cupped my cheeks; a sweet smile on his full lips.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcXdkIyGzR
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZprBx1kAD
“Had fun tonight?” I asked; enjoying his touch.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB0A0GuKRI
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHapQreVp5v
“Yes,” he nodded smiling and leaned down and kissed me. His hands squished my butt but I stopped him.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NKGSafnYJ
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc8SMwbvZ6
“I’m not having sex with you,” I mumbled against his lips. He didn’t seem to believe it and kissed me again. This time I pulled away from him. “Going to take a shower before lying down,” I said indifferently.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtf0wpBSwn
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRMPl1ueHW
“We’ll see about that,” I heard him mumbling as I took off my heels. I walked into the bathroom and let the water running before pulling down my leggings.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywm1KIms2D
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7RG4tbfAY
“For now, see me closing the door to your face,” I mocked and closed the bathroom door before locking it. I wasn’t really mad at him and I knew that if he came in the shower with me I wouldn’t be able to stop him.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltwRL9Hnx7
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CKAXu0B3J
He took a shower after me as I wore clean knickers and an oversized jumper that left my right shoulder uncovered. I was sitting on the sofa, surfing the internet when he joined me. He sat on my right side and kissed my shoulder as he put his hand on my thigh; no sign of lust in his moves.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX6mptmNKF
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgDxUl4K3c
“So, how do you feel?” I smirked mockingly.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4wuLlblre

“What do you mean?”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTKAWbB0Fg
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDjjpysXVz
“You’re twenty-five,” I replied; retaining the smirk on my lips. Damien chuckled. “You’re old,” I mocked and he lunched himself at me causing me to laugh. I always enjoyed fighting with him; especially after we got together.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdHB8kZosL
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzqAjrM2Jm
“Crazy people never get old, ladybug,” he smirked as he pinned me against the sofa cushions. He gripped my wrists and I tried to free myself with no success. He bit his lip as he positioned himself between my legs.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6RFrJyAaQ
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIT50HGtm2
“Go away, I’m still mad at you,” I mumbled; frowning.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8lJ9YXz8S
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfxnotumx9
“Can’t do that,” he raised his eyebrows and without a warning he crashed his lips to mine. I parted my lips from the surprise and he found the opportunity to brush my tongue with his. I couldn’t help but kiss him back eagerly. I could feel him growing between my legs and the moisture ruining my clean underwear. I moaned into the kiss and tried to push him back. I was suffocating in that jumper.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreKAtFnNzN
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNW7QwGc4wK
“It’s hot,” I mumbled and he relaxed a bit. “Do something useful while you’re there,” I mocked as he sat up on his knees. I pulled the jumper up to my breasts and he helped me remove it.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPpowQMgov
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEVakBD3jm
“I thought you said you won’t be having sex with me,” he smirked. I sat up quickly and got up.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXMlwh58zi
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGL6i1Pr59
“I won’t,” I confirmed and got into my bed. He chuckled and followed me. I didn’t resist as he lightly pushed me back to the mattress and climbed on top of me. “And I’m not helping you with that either,” I raised my eyebrows referring to his erection.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52Nddg9PRx
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGaINAhFyv
“Baby, we will have sex,” he said; a dangerous smile on his lips. I narrowed my eyes and pushed him away. I tried to avoid looking at his eyes. Those grey orbs were dangerous; I could lose myself in there. Not that kissing him was easier. That’s why when he leaned down and kissed me, forcing his tongue into my mouth, I kissed him back. I couldn’t help it. And he knew it.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mVftLRm2p
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d9PcLQESO
He pinned my hands against the mattress over my head with one hand and moved down to my neck. I moaned lightly at his every touch.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cOu9OfhMW
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmnzcCwsUB
“Go away,” I mumbled but it was muffled by a moan as he sucked in my nipple. My body ached for him.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSbb32R9sM
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE8Baw9CAV
“I love how responsive you are,” he said. His voice wasn’t the typical hoarse tone; I could hear his lust into every word. I knew I was hopeless as he pushed my underwear to the side and brushed his fingers over my wetness.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mSyPwQrHO
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8f2x1LNbW
“It’s the hormones,” I explained flatly “I won’t have sex-” but as two long digits entered my wet folds I gasped and forgot how to speak.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXy7aZDk3B
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr43XhPPg7
“You know you want me,” he smirked as his fingers moved in and out of me causing me to moan. He moved up to my ear, his fingers never stop moving. “Admit it Erica,” he whispered against my ear “You want me inside of you.”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDMC7ehexU
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUgIIzxFOp
“Oh God,” I moaned as his fingers moved to my clit. I couldn’t say no to him. But I would. This game was fun. “Go away,” I breathed firmly, my eyes snapping open.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcX90FkaqE
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBwSiOcf0u
“No,” he said and we stared each other for a moment. He removed his hand from my wrists and cupped my jaw; forcing his lips to mine. He then moved to my ear for a second; his retrieving his fingers from between my legs. “If you really want me to stop, say something irrelevant and -” he said; his voice soft and gentle.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitOiO517A4
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq73IqLgbu
“I’m fine baby,” I assured him and he kissed my temple before pulling back. He took advantage of the little pause to grab a condom from the drawer and removed both of our underwear. I was putting all my strength to my thighs trying to keep my legs closed as he put the condom on.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq9NqVACro
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsCAdzuv6C
“One and half week, damn it!” I groaned. Damien chuckled. He knew he had won this already. He managed to part my legs and positioned himself between them.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN88h1ddaMp
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZmuyaU46y
“You know,” he mumbled and kissed my lower stomach “You want me,” he said as he kissed my belly and moved up to my lips. Before I ever had time to think, he pushed inside of me. I released a loud moan, my fingers clutching his back as his long and thick erection filled and stretched my depths.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuXgRdB0eL
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh2e3qFRzK
He grabbed my hands and pinned them against the mattress before he drove into me again and rocked my body with each pounding thrust, and my grunts and gasps chorused the slicksounds our bodies made sliding against each other.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSykaxjLBu
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYk1A1OPZ5
“Yes, Damien,” I mumbled.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeS2vdE5Mh
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWOY9g1lBB
“I told you, you wanted me,” he said between moans. My fingers were clutching thin air as he held them down. I wanted to wrap them tightly around him. I arched my back, colliding my body to his and he released my hands, putting his against my sides; his grip tight.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06jHBj8VBh
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gzBNz6zB8
As I felt him throb and pulse and begin to explode inside of me, I squished his back, pulling him towards me. His body swayed and his groans seared my mind. It added fuel to my fire and my sweaty body suddenly shuddered and convulsed. My vision went white and I came hard, clinging to him with every muscle in my body, I trembled and spasmed hard in his arms.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqyBGHAOYi
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBZskKAGLP
I was gasping for air, my body and mind dizzy and not quite back to myself as he collapsed on top of me. It took me a few moments of lying there, breathing and assessing tender places, to gather my strength enough to collect my thoughts.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9SY4xZIUP
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdflvIujgGc
“Damn it,” I mumbled “I hate you,” I groaned. Damien chuckled against my chest; vibrating my body as well. “I can’t stay mad at you,” I complained.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8x23WOuPt
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83FQ0XEKY1
“You can’t stay mad at anyone baby,” he laughed and pulled his head up to look at me; his grey eyes were darker around the edges.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb6DwjkbMm
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEQtVhkyG8
“Kiss me,” I mumbled and cupped his unshaved cheeks. He leaned over me; touching his lips softly to mine. I tightened my walls around him and he groaned against my mouth. He pulled back after a moment and he left the bed to go to the bathroom.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPXxR04tXK
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7knAA8dq5E
He reentered the room and went to the coffee table. I saw his naked figure leaning there and taking something. He lid up a cigarette and came to bed. I couldn’t help but smile as he walked back to me. He was gorgeous; wide shoulders and muscles flexed as he moved. We’ve been together for a month and I still couldn’t believe that we’re finally together; that I have him to myself.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIX1FRPwSA
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCb6Hu0qAO
“What?” he grinned; the cigarette hanging from his lips. I’m going to die.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u3hKMpibg
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e5H1ET8H7
“Sometimes I wish you would stop smoking,” I smiled as he sat down on the bed. I shifted and turned to my side “But then you look so ridiculously hot with that death stick between your lips,” I sighed. Damien chuckled and pulled me into his arms. I curled up to him, my head against the crook of his neck. My fingers were tracing the scanty hair on his chest while he turned his face the other way everytime he breathed out the smoke. I was almost asleep when I heard him speak.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jDHlTQfgh

“Hmm?” I mumbled confused.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QjB61ODsN

“I was eleven years old,” he said thoughtfully “So that makes you four,” he continued and I was listening still confused “Max just discovered how to torture you. Every time I was pulling you away from him, you would hug me and call me your superman,” he said and I chuckled now understanding what he was talking about. “And once, when you were five,” he chuckled “you told me not to grow up so that you could marry me,” he said and I could hear his grin.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoluyURr6u
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMc2oWSJpl

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiJjmqJJTP
“It was fun,” he chuckled lightly and kissed my forehead. “It still is,” he smiled against my skin. The memory he shared send a warm feeling to my heart and I wanted to talk to him so bad. But how? How do you start talking about something like this? What if he felt suffocated?520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYTb8huuf7
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nnRedrW8T
“Hey, are you okay?” he asked when I didn’t comment back on his joke and I could hear the concern in his voice.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIutHYREOMB

“Yeah,” I breathed out.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOMnmicR3f

“Come on, you can’t lie to me,” he said and pushed me away lightly so he could see my face. I pulled back from his arms and covered my torso with the covers as I laid on my stomach; leaving just the edge of the sheet over him. Damien sat up against the headboard of the bed; waiting for me to talk. I can do this. But my mouth wasn’t cooperating with my brain.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvCYy3rFfR
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnSJjiQJYw
“Ah,” I groaned and threw my head down to my hands “I can’t do this,” I mumbled, my pulse increasing. He put out the cigarette and turned back to me again.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALTZNUGF5i
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCd7y92oZO

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUjZOvkmbT
“Shit, you’re already losing patience with me,” I winced and turned to the side. I wanted to be alone. He was losing patience and he would leave me. I knew it was a matter of time. I had already turned my back on him and was ready to get up from the bed when he grabbed my wrist.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMyoHtYnHt
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBuxhpKRZP
“Don’t move,” he said; that intimidating tone on his voice. It was enough to bring me back from my breakdown. He shifted and pulled me backwards until my bare back was touching his naked chest as he sat me between his legs. “Talk to me, don’t walk away,” he whispered to my ear as he put his arms around me. Tears threatened to run down my cheeks. He covered our bodies with the blankets and held me there tightly against his body; his fingers laced with mine as he had his palm over my hand.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgvo0Y7Yc4

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0Ko8N4F2s
“Is just,” I began and had to swallow the lump in my throat “Things happened too quickly between us,” I mumbled and I heard him exhaling. It almost sounded as relief but I wasn’t sure.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94xZKvnB1a
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv5EcOXLxo
“Is that all you’re worrying about?” I guess he didn’t understand my concern.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vxixssBil

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9qINTIqsI
“I won’t let it if you don’t,” he whispered to me and stroked my skin. It wasn’t a promise like the usual promises that would terrify me. He was only saying that if I don’t let go of what we had, he wouldn’t either.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvp2tSDdfY
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkR2pHRy5P
My breathing increased and I could barely keep my tears back. I hated talking about how I felt about him or in general talking about things I’ve kept bottled up. It always made me cry.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOfjGvQ5Jt
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8c7RpMfou
I sat up, the covers fell back on the bed as I moved, and put my legs on either side of his waist and my arms around his shoulders to hug him. I kept him tightly against my body as he put his arms around me.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6kRSwVe2x

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Nh2f6g9n
“That’s okay, it’s late,” he whispered at me and made me lie down. “Get some sleep and words will find you,” he smiled as he leaned over me and kissed my lips.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VYrfzytUc
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBPfpr7M2Y

“Okay,” I smiled a small smile. Damien lied down behind me and put his strong arms around me; pulling me towards his body. “You’re my superman,” I giggled and he chuckled.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXioG9e5Lq
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivClel3bI0
I didn’t sleep well. However I didn’t toss and turn because I didn’t want to wake him up. I just lied in his arms enjoying the feeling. He was so beautiful. Damien was everything I ever dreamed of and I was ruining it all with my insecurities. I loved him so much my heart ached.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIcpFSE1er
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwl5BmFW6I
Several times I caught myself opening my mouth and was about to tell him those three little words but I couldn’t. I couldn’t even say “I love you” to him while he was sleeping. I was terrified.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPgncmPrZG
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVHllUYTTh

I spend New Year’s Eve with my family and relatives and met with the twins and Damien later on to celebrate, like we did every year. Cleo was keeping her distance from Damien and me during the night. She was a little bit moody every now and then but nothing too serious; towards me at least. I never paid too much attention due to the large amount of vodka I had. But it was registered to my brain; Cleo had a problem with Damien and me being an item.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNCANIuHy5
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6BEAbudhf
Two days afterwards, I was sitting in my place with Max playing cards and watching television. He was the right person to ask about the weird situation. He would say the truth no matter what.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNridyK9dug
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLLuui82uB
“Dude, what’s up?” he frowned and threw the cards on the table “You’re very distracted.” I took a deep breath and released it.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rM15vYHgr
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyyXcNIbxD
“What’s going on with Cleo?” I winced “I mean, she’s okay with me but she talks a bit weird at Damien,” I explained my question “And she’s also tensed when Damien is near me.”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeU8KZN2eO

“What do you mean?”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eEk2HSRlz

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnnCruTMrq
“Oh yeah! Like we’ve talked about Damien and I when I confessed, right?” I scoffed “She’s ignoring the whole thing! It’s like the big elephant in the room!” I exclaimed. “So tell me what the fuck is going on and I will talk to Cleo, I assure you,” I told him.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmigFTcof7p

“She only talks to him when she has to, like when you’re present,” he said. I was stunned.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEunL4tHNc
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZTevyfNQj
“Wait,” I put my palm in the air towards him “If something irrelevant to me happened, one of them would have talk to me about it. Since no one of them did, I’m guessing it has something to do with me,” I thought out loud. Max looked at me; a sympathetic look on his face.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOz2XpG2Op

“I think it’s best if you talk to Cleo,” he suggested.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhf9fZG0hR
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F6Z7ct5Gs
“Yes,” I said and grabbed my phone. She wasn’t talking to her brother? But why? If she didn’t approve, then I guess she wouldn’t have talked to me either. Or she wouldn’t be talking to me at all!520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnatWhHoN9

Max told me he was going to see Lexie and I knew Damien was at work, so I drove to Cleo’s house after I made sure she was home. She was waiting for me in her room. I thought it was best not to burst in there like wanting to kill someone. Therefore, when I arrived I called her, as I always did, to ask her if she wanted something to drink. I took two glasses of juice and walked up the stairs.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeBm856UAG
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLftsXCyxDe
“Hello,” I smiled “Here,” I told her and gave her the juice.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpM70o5gnW
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQZMhfcJX7
“Thanks,” she smiled back and took the glass “What’s up? I thought you were going to start revising your first class today,” she asked and pulled her sketches towards her to make me space to seat.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotBJDH6kl3
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wcYc4yCnk
“No, no leave them, I’ll seat here,” I told her and sat on her desk chair. “I was,” I replied to her question “But I wanted to ask you something first,” I said and she looked at me sipping my juice. “What happened with Damien?” I asked and she drew a line on the pad she had on her lap. “You’re not talking to him.” It wasn’t a question.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonlRBUJjyr
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOVVTH7FHN
“Nothing happened,” she mumbled.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYm1cFp7YD
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81D6mr8Ej8
“Yeah, okay!” I nodded mockingly “Cleo, it’s me, remember me? Your best friend?” I raised my eyebrows. She didn’t speak. “I’ve been ignoring the fact that you’re ignoring my relationship. I tried to give you time,” I spoke.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmILyJfXUaw

“Is something I have to solve with my brother,” she said, never looking at me.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sln7V232r
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBEMFP4xH5
“It has something to do with me though and I don’t like that you two are not talking because of me,” I explained. I hoped she would tell me so we would solve this.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiaa77jlPp

“You’re his girlfriend,” she said as she changed the pencil with a color pen.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQMBzIwI5e
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwuWYy7Fns
“I was your friend first,” I mumbled “I am your friend,” I frowned.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOwzTqxUco

“Okay then! Since you put it that way! I’ll tell you!” she said and looked at me; her tone rose up slightly. I waited. “You’ll get hurt! He’s always between relationships. Never stayed with one girl for too long!” she rumbled on. I felt dizzy.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9cnVe8LhO
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqyuA2nLdE
“I know,” I whispered.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMmR1RRzxo
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnydeXyVsy
“If you know, what are you doing with him?” she asked and I breathed through my nose trying to keep the tears back. “He’s not for you!” she breathed.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYjrabHjPw
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneMRUxkTai
“He is not for me? Or I’m not for him?” I asked; my voice broke at the end. I didn’t want to give her time to respond to my question because I didn’t want to listen to the answer. I was afraid to. “I know I’m not enough for him,” I whispered and got up; the tears blurred my eyes “I’ll never be enough,” I shook my head and opened the door.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD0YoBhmLg
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvJ9NhL2zw
I heard her calling my name but I didn’t stop. This is what I didn’t want. This is why I kept my feelings to myself for so long. Because I knew I wasn’t enough for him; so why really bother?520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sODRXsqN8

I didn’t understand why she was talking to me and not to him. But it didn’t matter anymore. I didn’t want to be in the middle of them! No matter what the reason was, they were brother and sister; they should support each other.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24bJDQuRFU
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJBMFvXMxl
I couldn’t be in the middle. I would never be the girl that made him choose his girlfriend over his sister. Ever! I couldn’t bear to do that. She is my best friend and I love her, I would never take her brother away from her. Even if it was her choice not to talk to him; I was the reason and I hated it.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXvPBFGkuh

I entered my house and sat in my parent’s kitchen. James had left yesterday afternoon to go back to his apartment. Maybe I could visit him, just to be away from all of this for a while. And I knew that underneath it all, the only thing that made me want to run away was that my own best friend didn’t approve me for her brother.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjozTGLjBu

“Hey kid,” he greeted on the first ring.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdN6xQVGSf

“Hi,” I breathed.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszKgNfKzCL

“What’s wrong?”520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzuaR1nDXG
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjTrJ7ZUgx
“Can I come over and stay for a while?” I asked.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSpgDIYNhk
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqryftprOj
“Of course, but what happened?” I could hear his frown.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ae1txFd9Q
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzlkZuDunP
“I’ll tell you tonight,” I told him and got up to pack my things. He wasn’t staying too far away. His apartment was one and half hour away but it was too far for him to drive everyday to go to the university. I called mom to let her know that I was visiting James and she of course made me take four tuppers of food.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7pzRcg7o8

I decided to call Damien as well; he had to know I was leaving. He didn’t believe I was fine when I told him. Reasonable since my voice had less color than a black and white film. He only asked me to wait an hour before leaving because he wanted to see me. At first I thought of saying no to him because I didn’t want him to see me like that but my ego didn’t let me decline.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjFOSCfEoT
520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA48IFhAoh
I really wanted to see him. An hour wouldn’t hurt.520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rN7hUs0Iu
