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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAwN5m3udnal
415Please respect copyright.PENANAP1cquEepuO
Since am already with him; am going for the latter.415Please respect copyright.PENANAe980fctslf

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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAd5FtLmtDAt
415Please respect copyright.PENANAl5BQzpf7DR
“Oh my God,” I said as I entered the room.415Please respect copyright.PENANAEu8I9dcGyD
415Please respect copyright.PENANA8Nwc1zYCJu
“What?” she asked startled.415Please respect copyright.PENANABOkZvk1qrB
415Please respect copyright.PENANA86RgVlmblw
“Dude, you’re so in love,” I mocked.415Please respect copyright.PENANAMH8In1N7KU
415Please respect copyright.PENANAe4JDLr9acW
“I know,” she sighed and fell back in bed, tapping the spot next to her.415Please respect copyright.PENANABiwJt2msve

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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAIZoe3AFn85
415Please respect copyright.PENANA5trX75HnCk
“What’s up with you?” I asked him.415Please respect copyright.PENANAd5ZbFPp2Rq
415Please respect copyright.PENANANKq9S2ELkC
“I had sex,” he smirked.415Please respect copyright.PENANAeG5XqBKAPV
415Please respect copyright.PENANAxxXXI8dWJr
“Finally!” I exclaimed smiling widely.415Please respect copyright.PENANATZVFBPUCg3
415Please respect copyright.PENANAqPjNxFZUhN
“By the way, we’re leaving in three days,” Cleo said suddenly ignoring her brother.415Please respect copyright.PENANA1MpqhEzLBu
415Please respect copyright.PENANAFU0dOY9dO5
“Where to?” I asked.415Please respect copyright.PENANAsyu7Ff2CwG
415Please respect copyright.PENANAgJs0RjqxGr
“The summer house,” she grinned.415Please respect copyright.PENANAn2lMKXxgNP
415Please respect copyright.PENANAR9YUoQ4XBV
“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.415Please respect copyright.PENANA40ahWqrMG3
415Please respect copyright.PENANAIlsX1ityL8
“Dude, seriously, you thought that anyone bought that?” Max asked.415Please respect copyright.PENANAhpnS1oaLRS
415Please respect copyright.PENANAB0MV3Ch6XE
“Whatever,” I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed “For how long are we going?” I asked.415Please respect copyright.PENANAjMxUNXhItv
415Please respect copyright.PENANATXzW67qBTS
“A week maybe,” Max said.415Please respect copyright.PENANALgrRBHtk6w
415Please respect copyright.PENANAX6B4biUoEt
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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAlcHzahVLVW

We were leaving the next morning and I was packing my stuff when my mum came in my room.415Please respect copyright.PENANADMX3p4VFb8
415Please respect copyright.PENANAqYpsGqxBEO
“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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAwT2yE96OHQ
415Please respect copyright.PENANA2U0p0AYwUy
“St. Mauritius Island,” I mumbled defeated.415Please respect copyright.PENANA88o0fWRAm6
415Please respect copyright.PENANAppHmKnm8lr
“Had fun?” she asked, still standing in the doorway.415Please respect copyright.PENANAnT6unpamNb
415Please respect copyright.PENANAOLz4jHURRH
“Yeah,” I turned around to face her “Sorry I didn’t tell you,” I winced.415Please respect copyright.PENANAwHbW3D9YrM
415Please respect copyright.PENANA183qtCRPPG
“That’s ok,” she smiled “Now tell me because am dying; how is he?” she grinned.415Please respect copyright.PENANAatACTOoAU5

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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAl3gtI6UaCK

“Tall, blond and handsome. He has a good sense of humor but can be intimidating.”415Please respect copyright.PENANA4EUnxdP7mt
415Please respect copyright.PENANAvW3nYcOV7s
“Treats you well?” she asked.415Please respect copyright.PENANANf3cp03G61
415Please respect copyright.PENANAylUg6bmnRN
“Yes, he wrote the rules for gentlemen,” I replied with a small, shy smile.415Please respect copyright.PENANAqT8M1o5vHO
415Please respect copyright.PENANAHEwd52T1Je
“What’s his name?”415Please respect copyright.PENANAnx4HKx80SQ
415Please respect copyright.PENANAWYqBxm5tsF
“Alex White,” I murmured.415Please respect copyright.PENANAAJBGeE4nig
415Please respect copyright.PENANAsOX3O8ruUi
“The Alex White?” she choked and I nodded. She raised her eyebrows and nodded approving “Hope you had fun,” she winced.415Please respect copyright.PENANAcTbmtz9E8K
415Please respect copyright.PENANAnYd1pZmCJe
“I did,” I grinned before she left.415Please respect copyright.PENANAhg82lvxEgr

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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAKaFJzqZLfs
415Please respect copyright.PENANAIRjz6iSxcs
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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAnItF8eUViX
415Please respect copyright.PENANAtcFzoeeBjz
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.415Please respect copyright.PENANANJZMLQsZXj
Not good.415Please respect copyright.PENANAcg02ibCOkf

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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAP6BzkCy693
415Please respect copyright.PENANAwvAa3FCOtS
“Go away,” I groaned to whoever it was.415Please respect copyright.PENANAZpcugytdkO
415Please respect copyright.PENANAt9g92H10Ed
“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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAh1ViMBcuTT
415Please respect copyright.PENANAMGln3ZLqMP
“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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAWBEI91lAMa
415Please respect copyright.PENANAoU9roah3wv
“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.415Please respect copyright.PENANABPaoDaEaz5
415Please respect copyright.PENANAaHtAQuKxyw
“Shut up,” I mumbled “I want to go to sleep. Leave,” I said and fell back on the bed.415Please respect copyright.PENANAs24AoPCq3X
415Please respect copyright.PENANAhpxlw6sbxI
“It’s my room!” he raised an eyebrow.415Please respect copyright.PENANAUtWYWlmejt
415Please respect copyright.PENANAE0xOc4rQVl
“Have mercy,” I pleaded.415Please respect copyright.PENANA3XQMrshOsg
415Please respect copyright.PENANAj8NGyg2g2e
“Nope,” he refused and sat down on the bed again. He started tickling me and pinching me. My sleep mood was gone.415Please respect copyright.PENANAVvji2wcEED
415Please respect copyright.PENANAlkajkDvl9x
“At least get out and let me get dressed,” I mumbled; my eyes still shut.415Please respect copyright.PENANAtAC0fMOVU7
415Please respect copyright.PENANA2rcDfYpS47
“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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAf8AeQrs4Bu

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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAHxJcWv9aaK
415Please respect copyright.PENANAjA487Y0KNT
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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAENyOWNDDkq
415Please respect copyright.PENANAuw98dGKaFd
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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAX781XSe9xA
415Please respect copyright.PENANA4mV5k8zmun
“Not a morning person,” Damien chuckled and I glared at him.415Please respect copyright.PENANAioMONLMmJr
415Please respect copyright.PENANAgj4eoKAbHF
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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAwrVT5e45yc
415Please respect copyright.PENANA3SCy3p2BoC
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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAXaUgFWxYVb
415Please respect copyright.PENANA7OjlKCb1nH
“Mike’s coming,” she answered my unspoken question.415Please respect copyright.PENANAKwWO1XfmG6
415Please respect copyright.PENANA6niIJ1Jach
“Cool,” I winked at her.415Please respect copyright.PENANAXH1nO3f2JG
415Please respect copyright.PENANAu3hAyieody
“OH! She spoke!!” Matt exclaimed looking at me faking a wide eye expression.415Please respect copyright.PENANAukExTev8PN
415Please respect copyright.PENANA69qK5VDJoZ
“Shut up Mattie,” I told him narrowing my eyes.415Please respect copyright.PENANAz35E9TdihJ
415Please respect copyright.PENANA7O9ppPZift
“Where am I sleeping?” I pouted. The only free bed was their parent’s bed and I wasn’t keen on that idea.415Please respect copyright.PENANA9Kv8qy2evp
415Please respect copyright.PENANALZNHIgFMos
“The big bed is taken by Matt and Jenny,” Damien said; announcing that way that the couple would be joining us.415Please respect copyright.PENANAGoXhPWf81d
415Please respect copyright.PENANA5SK8ByyjTs
“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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAfY3uMLhL7g
415Please respect copyright.PENANA2sSBtbrFde
“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.415Please respect copyright.PENANAGmtfbhQvwH
415Please respect copyright.PENANA6CoiXabWKm
We spend the rest of day by the swimming pool fooling around; me glancing at my phone regularly for a message that never came.415Please respect copyright.PENANA1WabaODDwH
