“Hey babe,” Cleo called me as I entered her house. Damien was there, lying on the couch watching TV.424Please respect copyright.PENANAIbixoKgv97
424Please respect copyright.PENANAS1VJcgzmQo
“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANA5FuVJjwloz
424Please respect copyright.PENANAnWSoTWsMLl
“I'm good. You? Started studying?” Damien asked me and put his head on my lap; keeping his eyes on the TV.424Please respect copyright.PENANAArBvxjxZ4x
424Please respect copyright.PENANAfBQn6UC54F
“Yeah, English and maths.”424Please respect copyright.PENANAGGSmA8nkO6

“Mom left spaghetti but I want pizza,” Cleo said pouting “What do you want?” she looked at Damien and me.424Please respect copyright.PENANAzg8FIJ5K44
424Please respect copyright.PENANA0BxqpuEtUc
“Pizza,” I agreed.424Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ8oyLhHcR

“Whatever. I'm going upstairs,” Damien said.424Please respect copyright.PENANA2zI5isghpW
424Please respect copyright.PENANAsrKsmV1Hwf
“What’s up?” Cleo asked as soon as Damien disappeared from the stairs.424Please respect copyright.PENANAYzrdmgb8VK
424Please respect copyright.PENANAt5zq2mNXhK
“What am I going to do with Alex?” I asked her.424Please respect copyright.PENANAORHo9Wb8K8
424Please respect copyright.PENANARJNidMGdG9
“Call him!”424Please respect copyright.PENANAaIKU7TuyIQ
424Please respect copyright.PENANAmszcXYdLkz
“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!”424Please respect copyright.PENANAcNRhbDzVqj
424Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZjRgUYFJ5
“Breathe!” Cleo shook my shoulders “You’re rushing into things!”424Please respect copyright.PENANAqeFwI12ese
424Please respect copyright.PENANAfQUA112POZ
“I want pizza,” I said out of the blue putting my thoughts aside as my stomach growled. Nothing ruins my appetite or my sleep.424Please respect copyright.PENANAPery89VmIf
424Please respect copyright.PENANA7MUEbo5es7
“Where’s the phone?” I asked, intending to order the pizzas.424Please respect copyright.PENANAJEsRSRX6tI
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8XgeQz0Id
“Damien’s got it I guess,” she said looking around at the living room.424Please respect copyright.PENANAonDO4kkUMy
424Please respect copyright.PENANAV0NTm2GZqy
“I'm going,” I said, standing up.424Please respect copyright.PENANAcVlEOWUKkj
424Please respect copyright.PENANA2PadYBEzYk
I walked up the stairs and towards his room. I could hear voices from the tv while I knocked on the door.424Please respect copyright.PENANAAwhVM3avaW
424Please respect copyright.PENANAFGnL4RlJfb
“Yeah,” I heard him call. His voice was hoarse and calm.424Please respect copyright.PENANAoOP23Di0I6
424Please respect copyright.PENANA624d6ws6zb
“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAEMYQ06fKNV
424Please respect copyright.PENANAcqPYTj0B3j
“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAqwPwmtcRfh
424Please respect copyright.PENANAEu4ide5wZQ
“We’re ordering pizza. There’s beer in the fridge. Want anything else?”424Please respect copyright.PENANALiC1nFdc9g
424Please respect copyright.PENANAEt4yFZMQhy
“Nuh,” and he looked around “Just cleaning,” he said and a small grin appeared on his thin lips.424Please respect copyright.PENANAVHN3YNOUnS
424Please respect copyright.PENANAFs2GqdgCTk
“Haha. Keep dreaming. I'm not doing that anymore!” I said “I own you some punches though.”424Please respect copyright.PENANAdGRVGyrwf8
424Please respect copyright.PENANAgsw4IRuR4S
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAmlmvuEDaW0
424Please respect copyright.PENANAMuyBLVH7MS
“Try,” he raised an eyebrow smirking.424Please respect copyright.PENANAgj5KTksctB
424Please respect copyright.PENANAxMWPerqKTA
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAEw8N8R0vhl
424Please respect copyright.PENANAdy2TjRkWTf
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAFlzLuiYmwi
424Please respect copyright.PENANAaEG2StGPuO
“Ouch,” I yelled and pushed into his chest to decrease the pain on my arms.424Please respect copyright.PENANAlwnVoA0otK
424Please respect copyright.PENANARxViX00ND1
“Will you try that again?” He asked closed to my ear.424Please respect copyright.PENANA1QzYAIB9kh
424Please respect copyright.PENANACydhGr3S8l
“Of course!” I never fall without a fight. He pulled my hands more and I pushed more into him; our bodies collided.424Please respect copyright.PENANAu1JDytX5FR
424Please respect copyright.PENANA1g0U3E9aYP
“I'm like a bow-tie!” I cried.424Please respect copyright.PENANAqv7EKPomEM
424Please respect copyright.PENANAZI9N76qxTV
“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAZmV4lGrb2o
424Please respect copyright.PENANAxgG6YwUFs4
“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAlIcow4jYmn
424Please respect copyright.PENANAOQIK0C0Uwn
“Yes. Because you’re admitting your defeat,” he grinned. I sighed.424Please respect copyright.PENANA2l9X3gLvYo
424Please respect copyright.PENANAJTe67iuzGu
“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAwfOOne3DHg

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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAGfI8k9Fx5M
424Please respect copyright.PENANAxXpf2LHYhM
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAx8rEvHttQj
424Please respect copyright.PENANAXX425VVwrr
“I ADORE YOU!!!” I screamed jumping in his arms “You’re fantastic! I love love love love you!!” I squished him into my arms.424Please respect copyright.PENANAE8HdY8V2fs
424Please respect copyright.PENANA8xEE6jCZdm
“Cant-breathe,” he chocked as I was all over him.424Please respect copyright.PENANARx1iWWadpZ
424Please respect copyright.PENANAaqtNxkN0E6
“Sorry,” I said quickly letting go “Thanks,” I said hugging him again; more softly this time.424Please respect copyright.PENANAly0H0U3U2f

“You will love love love me too when you’ll have a night of passion,” Cleo said.424Please respect copyright.PENANA7lVHXbVgXb

“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAo3CkY20BQG
424Please respect copyright.PENANAPshLSbueVz
“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAdeRbITwZUD
424Please respect copyright.PENANAxDP4ty41in
“Thanks sweety,” I said kissing her “How long it’s been since you had sex?” I said to Max.424Please respect copyright.PENANAkfN6Hhgb9e

“Six weeks.”424Please respect copyright.PENANAVmlT82678Z

“Sorry,” he sighed pouting.424Please respect copyright.PENANA3zO5rWMljy

“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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAMp2FCkTEk6
424Please respect copyright.PENANAeqnU6cYzo1
“Oh,” it was all she managed to say. She did get into the Fashion Design school she wanted to.424Please respect copyright.PENANAaibUZ6yId7

424Please respect copyright.PENANA414XJ35vOx
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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAqjwOPRmjcj
424Please respect copyright.PENANASAQ99CixEl

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.424Please respect copyright.PENANAJWgg22EpxK
424Please respect copyright.PENANA7SF9olitbg
