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.418Please respect copyright.PENANArxCKnp0fuo
418Please respect copyright.PENANAjnz7Fkhvaw
Since am already with him; am going for the latter.418Please respect copyright.PENANA9A55Io2Lep

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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAcGkaentCdu
418Please respect copyright.PENANASv7jHIXaSX
“Oh my God,” I said as I entered the room.418Please respect copyright.PENANADnPHUuxdV5
418Please respect copyright.PENANAQcKkhnWdjW
“What?” she asked startled.418Please respect copyright.PENANAl6UmAC3TAv
418Please respect copyright.PENANAEUTytzs76X
“Dude, you’re so in love,” I mocked.418Please respect copyright.PENANA3KLlpmkeYT
418Please respect copyright.PENANAFo4tXGv3Oc
“I know,” she sighed and fell back in bed, tapping the spot next to her.418Please respect copyright.PENANAbfRG6fMcZF

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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAHIHmyCpgJ7
418Please respect copyright.PENANAIziWB5JRxa
“What’s up with you?” I asked him.418Please respect copyright.PENANA5anlM0qVr0
418Please respect copyright.PENANA5WjiI2gbwx
“I had sex,” he smirked.418Please respect copyright.PENANAeydgt8Nafv
418Please respect copyright.PENANAF6xwXTatFl
“Finally!” I exclaimed smiling widely.418Please respect copyright.PENANACKvDpkPOjK
418Please respect copyright.PENANAkaLboGluOw
“By the way, we’re leaving in three days,” Cleo said suddenly ignoring her brother.418Please respect copyright.PENANA3nb0iKyOtM
418Please respect copyright.PENANAwXu7zPwTEL
“Where to?” I asked.418Please respect copyright.PENANAwsCMrLOuwW
418Please respect copyright.PENANAvkoMgbl373
“The summer house,” she grinned.418Please respect copyright.PENANAdMLp2JYDU6
418Please respect copyright.PENANAN9PdXMSOtD
“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.418Please respect copyright.PENANArbVfyGxBhJ
418Please respect copyright.PENANA9HiXPdMIz0
“Dude, seriously, you thought that anyone bought that?” Max asked.418Please respect copyright.PENANA8usrHkkVLI
418Please respect copyright.PENANAQYkDTYI2lO
“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed “For how long are we going?” I asked.418Please respect copyright.PENANAldzLAA2nCa
418Please respect copyright.PENANAn6jn1dBDjW
“A week maybe,” Max said.418Please respect copyright.PENANANrfzU080fP
418Please respect copyright.PENANAS72w47GAVe
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAJOVfeOJfiZ

We were leaving the next morning and I was packing my stuff when my mum came in my room.418Please respect copyright.PENANA0BFqEokEM2
418Please respect copyright.PENANAy1zbW8kenJ
“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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAAPFdxOhzTs
418Please respect copyright.PENANA0dP0LJlhsZ
“St. Mauritius Island,” I mumbled defeated.418Please respect copyright.PENANAk6ItRgbZ72
418Please respect copyright.PENANAOfcSoLj3AI
“Had fun?” she asked, still standing in the doorway.418Please respect copyright.PENANA15oBHCq7A3
418Please respect copyright.PENANAaeVz70TzGr
“Yeah,” I turned around to face her “Sorry I didn’t tell you,” I winced.418Please respect copyright.PENANAaZe8yjR38e
418Please respect copyright.PENANA0xdSFVnif6
“That’s ok,” she smiled “Now tell me because am dying; how is he?” she grinned.418Please respect copyright.PENANA325s534cGJ

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.418Please respect copyright.PENANACUuEnMoaPy

“Tall, blond and handsome. He has a good sense of humor but can be intimidating.”418Please respect copyright.PENANA8P4nC2L8us
418Please respect copyright.PENANAiS6KepiuAF
“Treats you well?” she asked.418Please respect copyright.PENANAC7AaWRb9aL
418Please respect copyright.PENANA56dGIxgEyo
“Yes, he wrote the rules for gentlemen,” I replied with a small, shy smile.418Please respect copyright.PENANA7NTKTIVwtN
418Please respect copyright.PENANAoTnAV8AEs0
“What’s his name?”418Please respect copyright.PENANA1lvJMEzBzz
418Please respect copyright.PENANAmVWHzWOyfN
“Alex White,” I murmured.418Please respect copyright.PENANAznGxXcpXF8
418Please respect copyright.PENANA2BSYA5eDrP
“The Alex White?” she choked and I nodded. She raised her eyebrows and nodded approving “Hope you had fun,” she winced.418Please respect copyright.PENANARovYInTOGD
418Please respect copyright.PENANAUlifRXHo03
“I did,” I grinned before she left.418Please respect copyright.PENANA4H4KCT58AN

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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAk1H3MorPop
418Please respect copyright.PENANAzk84gkdGLR
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAT0IY00VXmw
418Please respect copyright.PENANA4kZcsV4DQu
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAGPVbj74DgT
Not good.418Please respect copyright.PENANAqrPRNLyd3O

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.418Please respect copyright.PENANATX4LDqvEtS
418Please respect copyright.PENANA0FgAFtPYhl
“Go away,” I groaned to whoever it was.418Please respect copyright.PENANAAgimslX78B
418Please respect copyright.PENANAbb2yngFuXX
“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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAvnolSPWggP
418Please respect copyright.PENANAwFhCeZy982
“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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAVq0DlstpAN
418Please respect copyright.PENANAlvRaybTNsB
“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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAHxUDRPuXfL
418Please respect copyright.PENANAqtOOYVx7nk
“Shut up,” I mumbled “I want to go to sleep. Leave,” I said and fell back on the bed.418Please respect copyright.PENANA632Tfakms7
418Please respect copyright.PENANAPbYeArDEsO
“It’s my room!” he raised an eyebrow.418Please respect copyright.PENANA4Nd4CZlH9r
418Please respect copyright.PENANAFUM81LXaz6
“Have mercy,” I pleaded.418Please respect copyright.PENANAc7DgyF4VgD
418Please respect copyright.PENANAxyaNaJLNHM
“Nope,” he refused and sat down on the bed again. He started tickling me and pinching me. My sleep mood was gone.418Please respect copyright.PENANAheqZX0UBOv
418Please respect copyright.PENANAAO0VZ1gbc2
“At least get out and let me get dressed,” I mumbled; my eyes still shut.418Please respect copyright.PENANAi1MXj1naEe
418Please respect copyright.PENANA8f4n7wE5dM
“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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAr70zq8Aj3X

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.418Please respect copyright.PENANABjcFMQ2gir
418Please respect copyright.PENANA4pflI9fwTk
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAii8grcX9UN
418Please respect copyright.PENANAeEe6P3Po09
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAVAKgEQRsBY
418Please respect copyright.PENANATS8dhhWhod
“Not a morning person,” Damien chuckled and I glared at him.418Please respect copyright.PENANAM4fqS7lJHo
418Please respect copyright.PENANAJyNDVMShLF
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAZhBTzFkvUw
418Please respect copyright.PENANAij7rLxKo6g
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.418Please respect copyright.PENANAORMeYaWlKR
418Please respect copyright.PENANA4PZgEWYuTK
“Mike’s coming,” she answered my unspoken question.418Please respect copyright.PENANANobIsg6PJa
418Please respect copyright.PENANAE9jNY5Wkxj
“Cool,” I winked at her.418Please respect copyright.PENANAEC8eo6EgCi
418Please respect copyright.PENANAwvaz26Stdm
“OH! She spoke!!” Matt exclaimed looking at me faking a wide eye expression.418Please respect copyright.PENANABvIeYDDfir
418Please respect copyright.PENANAzu9t3TxfTo
“Shut up Mattie,” I told him narrowing my eyes.418Please respect copyright.PENANA9vtMWXalfy
418Please respect copyright.PENANAceIJBGSebG
“Where am I sleeping?” I pouted. The only free bed was their parent’s bed and I wasn’t keen on that idea.418Please respect copyright.PENANA3Oaye11FZG
418Please respect copyright.PENANA8jKJqI8SWc
“The big bed is taken by Matt and Jenny,” Damien said; announcing that way that the couple would be joining us.418Please respect copyright.PENANAWi9H35xR67
418Please respect copyright.PENANAE3enDCoyr3
“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.418Please respect copyright.PENANALBB4A9OW1t
418Please respect copyright.PENANAuPIiy4QEbj
“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.418Please respect copyright.PENANA5WvTS8rFs7

We spend the rest of day by the swimming pool fooling around; me glancing at my phone regularly for a message that never came.418Please respect copyright.PENANA9crwJMPNpB
