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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAK7ySkQkJqg
411Please respect copyright.PENANA84E6M9Levm
Since am already with him; am going for the latter.411Please respect copyright.PENANAaDMGTjhSgN

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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAW2uYggFXMc
411Please respect copyright.PENANAGhHOp4f7HG
“Oh my God,” I said as I entered the room.411Please respect copyright.PENANA3sFRiVuyUZ
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2bpjDiLIvy
“What?” she asked startled.411Please respect copyright.PENANAUFqUaELZn2
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIAJAm1qTib
“Dude, you’re so in love,” I mocked.411Please respect copyright.PENANAty1MuPqiVP
411Please respect copyright.PENANA0EJmelE5G9
“I know,” she sighed and fell back in bed, tapping the spot next to her.411Please respect copyright.PENANAtxXZSrGCiz

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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAbBNFeJQNO5
411Please respect copyright.PENANAaTBZGQaITq
“What’s up with you?” I asked him.411Please respect copyright.PENANAeij6lp3aGS
411Please respect copyright.PENANA42SUmhUMyb
“I had sex,” he smirked.411Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4MXA0gD2G
411Please respect copyright.PENANAOGj15Kgf7N
“Finally!” I exclaimed smiling widely.411Please respect copyright.PENANABAkrHDuPZN
411Please respect copyright.PENANA72eGWmMZZT
“By the way, we’re leaving in three days,” Cleo said suddenly ignoring her brother.411Please respect copyright.PENANAoYmEMNOVwc
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIQ9fjJVaFK
“Where to?” I asked.411Please respect copyright.PENANAmPUdfUEGVt
411Please respect copyright.PENANAEzNpPcg8vf
“The summer house,” she grinned.411Please respect copyright.PENANAXs1choVtfe
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdnvQsW7HAv
“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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAFsqVZ4gLl4
411Please respect copyright.PENANAJeHlCIv8yX
“Dude, seriously, you thought that anyone bought that?” Max asked.411Please respect copyright.PENANANEJseUqOP0
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWrah1AEghT
“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed “For how long are we going?” I asked.411Please respect copyright.PENANA4EoPYcIYZW
411Please respect copyright.PENANAKtBEIoyUuM
“A week maybe,” Max said.411Please respect copyright.PENANAvVc7THOopg
411Please respect copyright.PENANAI1tyg8t2UQ
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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAUB30vwnuxD

We were leaving the next morning and I was packing my stuff when my mum came in my room.411Please respect copyright.PENANAvzj7Dusmpk
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxr4266PpFO
“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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAnP5uTAv3lz
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwtFoDp0VPi
“St. Mauritius Island,” I mumbled defeated.411Please respect copyright.PENANAoO3bMvunqm
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjfl5EkhvLv
“Had fun?” she asked, still standing in the doorway.411Please respect copyright.PENANAvWdivmVo1K
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWlloY8SUAs
“Yeah,” I turned around to face her “Sorry I didn’t tell you,” I winced.411Please respect copyright.PENANA0dKezu9XSE
411Please respect copyright.PENANA1yB81ljIgz
“That’s ok,” she smiled “Now tell me because am dying; how is he?” she grinned.411Please respect copyright.PENANAaptkdTJz5g

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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAXbRCpAlzzF
411Please respect copyright.PENANA6JFVa2hTpW
“Tall, blond and handsome. He has a good sense of humor but can be intimidating.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAFBbSlVtRVI
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8FWZpyTMyO
“Treats you well?” she asked.411Please respect copyright.PENANAyrrjuOujvl
411Please respect copyright.PENANASUra1rkXxT
“Yes, he wrote the rules for gentlemen,” I replied with a small, shy smile.411Please respect copyright.PENANA08sJnL97sU
411Please respect copyright.PENANAlbpFNCeVxX
“What’s his name?”411Please respect copyright.PENANAub6s4KIx3q
411Please respect copyright.PENANAmq3xYQ40Tc
“Alex White,” I murmured.411Please respect copyright.PENANAuMlNsm3bdr
411Please respect copyright.PENANAe2Kb7VkMv2
“The Alex White?” she choked and I nodded. She raised her eyebrows and nodded approving “Hope you had fun,” she winced.411Please respect copyright.PENANAY9JXHNkdXn
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzOFMGQxBi1
“I did,” I grinned before she left.411Please respect copyright.PENANABcpAdImkUX

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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAq2YnH8zHFI
411Please respect copyright.PENANAwOrH8gqYXr
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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAa92jhjyjvd
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIFAnkE5dnn
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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAbc4piwijIQ
Not good.411Please respect copyright.PENANADXv81LvykK

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.411Please respect copyright.PENANATZU644FQM3
411Please respect copyright.PENANAqfNCl7OgVe
“Go away,” I groaned to whoever it was.411Please respect copyright.PENANAbmpFOu9sdZ
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfjuXV3X9iE
“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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAJdZN2t45qO
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxhgHTQAO1y
“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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAf4PzEBOvpl
411Please respect copyright.PENANAxDcahLQihC
“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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAcBvojqSjE3
411Please respect copyright.PENANAzDrIbD1a6j
“Shut up,” I mumbled “I want to go to sleep. Leave,” I said and fell back on the bed.411Please respect copyright.PENANAoFtbXGYJl2
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7qsUn7pUGp
“It’s my room!” he raised an eyebrow.411Please respect copyright.PENANADsJbV5GGtf
411Please respect copyright.PENANA8FAzLGAMC6
“Have mercy,” I pleaded.411Please respect copyright.PENANAlCF7EINODN
411Please respect copyright.PENANA2CyYATpCLt
“Nope,” he refused and sat down on the bed again. He started tickling me and pinching me. My sleep mood was gone.411Please respect copyright.PENANAsCAMkalH4Q
411Please respect copyright.PENANAfO9Vxo2Bl9
“At least get out and let me get dressed,” I mumbled; my eyes still shut.411Please respect copyright.PENANAjZlMZbfNZl
411Please respect copyright.PENANAIJ5lUIaoyU
“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.411Please respect copyright.PENANArPSbr6BqFd

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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAYFX0TdaaWC
411Please respect copyright.PENANAddJONL7ny0
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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAzfH0MlGV04
411Please respect copyright.PENANAUyubf6puza
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.411Please respect copyright.PENANA55d3rBWZey
411Please respect copyright.PENANAuUWVKP2WYb
“Not a morning person,” Damien chuckled and I glared at him.411Please respect copyright.PENANA7pMW6XRpUh
411Please respect copyright.PENANAjLq9ezl5Kq
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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAT7XKTREuxb
411Please respect copyright.PENANA7y787XyBix
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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAA5WmrdpXsN
411Please respect copyright.PENANAE1aObfCWLx
“Mike’s coming,” she answered my unspoken question.411Please respect copyright.PENANA3flT5CvvUf
411Please respect copyright.PENANAQxVdSEk5mQ
“Cool,” I winked at her.411Please respect copyright.PENANAzcuFmq5VvH
411Please respect copyright.PENANAYnU62hb3xi
“OH! She spoke!!” Matt exclaimed looking at me faking a wide eye expression.411Please respect copyright.PENANALLPhhk1pWz
411Please respect copyright.PENANAtZrwHZUlWZ
“Shut up Mattie,” I told him narrowing my eyes.411Please respect copyright.PENANAWvnEQZnVjk
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdTNn6QHRkn
“Where am I sleeping?” I pouted. The only free bed was their parent’s bed and I wasn’t keen on that idea.411Please respect copyright.PENANAAXHH9lxRv8
411Please respect copyright.PENANAdbF2Kvj0Z7
“The big bed is taken by Matt and Jenny,” Damien said; announcing that way that the couple would be joining us.411Please respect copyright.PENANAvVHDJRmzzo
411Please respect copyright.PENANAyLVoqVnhNT
“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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAVBXrgO7Hiq
411Please respect copyright.PENANAW4SA4e2gZq
“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.411Please respect copyright.PENANAprj4buJGOR
411Please respect copyright.PENANAWObUA1ptla
We spend the rest of day by the swimming pool fooling around; me glancing at my phone regularly for a message that never came.411Please respect copyright.PENANAP6IFzTjw6e
