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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAyN3PFEWluS
416Please respect copyright.PENANAuHxsNoucHn
Since am already with him; am going for the latter.416Please respect copyright.PENANA3aSIfBIDic

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.416Please respect copyright.PENANATzCGgHnfOI
416Please respect copyright.PENANAvcytGd8W2Y
“Oh my God,” I said as I entered the room.416Please respect copyright.PENANA3yf7eA5DId
416Please respect copyright.PENANAFkUQ6m9wGO
“What?” she asked startled.416Please respect copyright.PENANAvZwrOdoy5C
416Please respect copyright.PENANACpUF2lQBne
“Dude, you’re so in love,” I mocked.416Please respect copyright.PENANAfkVTum5kOM
416Please respect copyright.PENANA7PnCzGCdex
“I know,” she sighed and fell back in bed, tapping the spot next to her.416Please respect copyright.PENANAGUJUtdkmTz

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.416Please respect copyright.PENANALSjGqnUrx3
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfkGUWUBw4d
“What’s up with you?” I asked him.416Please respect copyright.PENANAuvoiuv5Eft
416Please respect copyright.PENANA97KDtYhAML
“I had sex,” he smirked.416Please respect copyright.PENANATmQXox9AKP
416Please respect copyright.PENANAS0fC64b7HH
“Finally!” I exclaimed smiling widely.416Please respect copyright.PENANAwtixorJUBw
416Please respect copyright.PENANAKgS0Vh0NYT
“By the way, we’re leaving in three days,” Cleo said suddenly ignoring her brother.416Please respect copyright.PENANAGmc2lQCffG
416Please respect copyright.PENANAOBOjiwdDhp
“Where to?” I asked.416Please respect copyright.PENANAIQYjCXjYRR
416Please respect copyright.PENANAYIdQwMgKu5
“The summer house,” she grinned.416Please respect copyright.PENANAzVZ1lzdQED
416Please respect copyright.PENANAWaFbycfxy3
“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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAU1R8br45Ww
416Please respect copyright.PENANAD0GdPCpA6w
“Dude, seriously, you thought that anyone bought that?” Max asked.416Please respect copyright.PENANAPupr4Ubl8I
416Please respect copyright.PENANApGr762JkFC
“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed “For how long are we going?” I asked.416Please respect copyright.PENANA6aBuXe7wMv
416Please respect copyright.PENANALLz5ons7AD
“A week maybe,” Max said.416Please respect copyright.PENANAQBWNZxClVn
416Please respect copyright.PENANAfVfQYBMdop
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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAVzTsf6ybiG

We were leaving the next morning and I was packing my stuff when my mum came in my room.416Please respect copyright.PENANAi2rx7HM2wk
416Please respect copyright.PENANA0BOWoN2mds
“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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAr0KmDr6vhd
416Please respect copyright.PENANAgcYi8WMXNq
“St. Mauritius Island,” I mumbled defeated.416Please respect copyright.PENANAbA6tipK9j0
416Please respect copyright.PENANA61rtnqcdPH
“Had fun?” she asked, still standing in the doorway.416Please respect copyright.PENANAfYonkQpsv9
416Please respect copyright.PENANA5CHu2Qs9XP
“Yeah,” I turned around to face her “Sorry I didn’t tell you,” I winced.416Please respect copyright.PENANAu6xf7P2lTp
416Please respect copyright.PENANAwo3XkNpVZm
“That’s ok,” she smiled “Now tell me because am dying; how is he?” she grinned.416Please respect copyright.PENANA66OFnx9uPv
416Please respect copyright.PENANACOqmeM7kPW
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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAXGcw5x5ynl

“Tall, blond and handsome. He has a good sense of humor but can be intimidating.”416Please respect copyright.PENANAyah22H4s2m
416Please respect copyright.PENANA1cCayttWqR
“Treats you well?” she asked.416Please respect copyright.PENANAmLHoqUKnlw
416Please respect copyright.PENANANCylquZQKr
“Yes, he wrote the rules for gentlemen,” I replied with a small, shy smile.416Please respect copyright.PENANAEHkReCau7O
416Please respect copyright.PENANA5RGniGibiO
“What’s his name?”416Please respect copyright.PENANAnC3nXT5aDt
416Please respect copyright.PENANAijP6jrVzbr
“Alex White,” I murmured.416Please respect copyright.PENANA0coUZXKmE8
416Please respect copyright.PENANATm9v7wGATy
“The Alex White?” she choked and I nodded. She raised her eyebrows and nodded approving “Hope you had fun,” she winced.416Please respect copyright.PENANAYvg0xwV381
416Please respect copyright.PENANAbUW6zF2kCk
“I did,” I grinned before she left.416Please respect copyright.PENANASlYuzuLrzv

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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAtoLHHQAXhc
416Please respect copyright.PENANAmNzqqaVDq7
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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAq5ykLD0AFe
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQP2xtExOgG
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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAUIbTvTMWQA
Not good.416Please respect copyright.PENANAGfAWTVAy7o

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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAKLA7wBaoum
416Please respect copyright.PENANANHJOuPnowP
“Go away,” I groaned to whoever it was.416Please respect copyright.PENANAfHBsS8SFfc
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9W1Ae2VTn
“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.416Please respect copyright.PENANArSIyn8NSis
416Please respect copyright.PENANASxAs6sXVFh
“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.416Please respect copyright.PENANARlea2mXniG
416Please respect copyright.PENANAIt39ATLxvO
“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.416Please respect copyright.PENANA0c7XWVnaU6
416Please respect copyright.PENANAOSlJ3O13Di
“Shut up,” I mumbled “I want to go to sleep. Leave,” I said and fell back on the bed.416Please respect copyright.PENANAwK0Zfc08jc
416Please respect copyright.PENANAKaPZUwp1cm
“It’s my room!” he raised an eyebrow.416Please respect copyright.PENANAFuffH62QZl
416Please respect copyright.PENANAz5fML3Amde
“Have mercy,” I pleaded.416Please respect copyright.PENANA6x4KqMBYmN
416Please respect copyright.PENANAXyrkRg0OMs
“Nope,” he refused and sat down on the bed again. He started tickling me and pinching me. My sleep mood was gone.416Please respect copyright.PENANAqT0HO8pwhk
416Please respect copyright.PENANAp9tE9nvw4e
“At least get out and let me get dressed,” I mumbled; my eyes still shut.416Please respect copyright.PENANAnRB23vW3gz
416Please respect copyright.PENANAHBp3b8YS9t
“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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAMgvkhJV3Es

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.416Please respect copyright.PENANALWhdHMcpqw
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3a9QWVQkiq
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.416Please respect copyright.PENANA7RkiCiSBOX
416Please respect copyright.PENANA8vbZCObcbk
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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAOH1fHKrHu1
416Please respect copyright.PENANAf4UpXnIEpW
“Not a morning person,” Damien chuckled and I glared at him.416Please respect copyright.PENANANXyd9PdFu6
416Please respect copyright.PENANAyT1UBkkbbG
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.416Please respect copyright.PENANA9uC8MzVeYD
416Please respect copyright.PENANAQD6GDKr9qc
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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAi9S8YNL4CW
416Please respect copyright.PENANAjVurooZIg7
“Mike’s coming,” she answered my unspoken question.416Please respect copyright.PENANAlgWxjxreUt
416Please respect copyright.PENANA3Oy4HJunLc
“Cool,” I winked at her.416Please respect copyright.PENANApinIJVHFxF
416Please respect copyright.PENANAuZ6NLZP1c8
“OH! She spoke!!” Matt exclaimed looking at me faking a wide eye expression.416Please respect copyright.PENANAwu8IHWHt1l
416Please respect copyright.PENANA2EMT6zs5Aa
“Shut up Mattie,” I told him narrowing my eyes.416Please respect copyright.PENANAHmwkfPuHW6
416Please respect copyright.PENANAE8ZzNv8tQs
“Where am I sleeping?” I pouted. The only free bed was their parent’s bed and I wasn’t keen on that idea.416Please respect copyright.PENANAWUyP4VgfLz
416Please respect copyright.PENANASbdVAZ41gC
“The big bed is taken by Matt and Jenny,” Damien said; announcing that way that the couple would be joining us.416Please respect copyright.PENANAApaOLKqNtO
416Please respect copyright.PENANAsvzYFmqPXR
“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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAjuqOA8f6or
416Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ4gR8wKJU
“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.416Please respect copyright.PENANAmLQwu1YugR
416Please respect copyright.PENANAjEcvkf15hF
We spend the rest of day by the swimming pool fooling around; me glancing at my phone regularly for a message that never came.416Please respect copyright.PENANAvQxDXJDq4o
