"Oh, honey! Welcome home!" Mom exclaimed with a smile as she pulled my chuckling father into a tight hug.
"Thanks, Jane," he said as he returned it and gently patted her back.
"How was your trip?"
"It was great. Despite it taking long, we managed to land the contract."
"Congratulations. We should celebrate it."
I stood on the stairs quietly as I watched the interaction between my parents. I rarely saw them being lovely-dovey so, I was feeling out of place.
My father got me out of my room so that we could welcome Mom together, but her attention was instantly on Dad the moment she laid her eyes on him. I could understand her though. He hadn't been home for two weeks and she obviously felt lonely.
I couldn't imagine how I would feel if Andre had to be gone for two weeks. I couldn't even deal with him spending the night out. I groaned internally when I realised that I was starting to feel depressed again.

For a party that was considered "not too loud" this one was pretty fucking loud. Maybe it was my inexperience but if there were parties that had music louder than this, I wondered how people weren't hard of hearing yet. People danced around in skimpy outfits and there were some who sat on portable wooden benches just as you walked into the beach. Some people were drinking although I didn't notice anybody smoking. Luckily, there weren't too many people, considering how it was probably being thrown on public property, but human beings were a bit of an inconvenience in general. Me inclusive. Andre held my hand when we got out of the car and he locked it before leading me into the beach. It didn't take me long to notice that there were homosexual couples amongst us. Some men were obviously flirting with each other and some women were doing the same to other women. There were some straight couples and others who just watched as they drank by

I moaned and arched my back when Andre pushed his fingers even deeper inside me. It was crazy how good playing with your ass felt. I was embarrassed that he was making me moan like a girl but Andre didn't give me a chance to think about anything else right now.I bit my lip and looked down at him. Currently, we were still on the bed although I was propped on my elbows with my legs spread for the man in front of me.Andre was fingering me and the small smile on his face showed how much he was enjoying this. He would briefly look up every now and then to check up on me."How does it feel now?" He asked before curling his fingers upwards and I felt a jolt of electricity run up my spine."What the fuck?" I asked breathlessly after the sensation passed."I'm still waiting for my answer, you know?""You're a freaking sadist."He laughed. "I'll admit. I'm having fun." I glared at him and he added, "Sorry.""Well, i

"You're done?" Flynn asked and I nodded before saving my work. "Yes," I answered through a yawn and stretched my arms above my head. "While you're putting your stuff together, let me call Maryanne." "I'm surprised that you didn't come here with her." "I wanted to see your face first so, here we are." I chuckled. "We've being seeing each other all day though." "It's different after work. Anyway, I don't have the patience to watch you packing your stuff. She's probably done so, I'd rather wait there." "I'll find you guys when I'm done then." "Nope. We'll find you." "I'll find you." "Want to bet on that? You're pretty slow after work." "Don't make me sound like an old man. I'll find you guys and that's that." "If we win, you're paying for whatever we get today." "And if I win, you guys are paying." I chuckled. "Go and get Maryanne. You're slowing me down."

I groaned as the loud sound of my ringtone destroyed my sleep. Mumbling curses under my breath, I reached out and patted the top of the nightstand in search of my phone.After finding it, I answered the call without opening my eyes and I pressed it against my ear."Hello," I grumbled with a crease in-between my eyebrows."Andre!" My young sister's voice screamed into my ear, making me flinch at the noise."What are you so energetic about this early in the morning?""It's passed nine o'clock.""On a freaking Saturday.""That's why I called instead. Wake up."I opened my eyes and turned so that I was facing the ceiling. "What do you want?""Good morning.""I'm not going to repeat myself.""Greet me, please.""Hey, Grace.""That's much better," she said and her happiness was literally seeping out of the phone. "How have you been? We're all worried about you."I rolled my eyes

"Where are your parents," I asked as I entered the kitchen.I was drawn in by a wonderful smell and came into the kitchen expecting to find Mrs. Young cooking. To my surprise, Henry was standing in front of the stove as he added some spices into a frying pan.I was shocked. I didn't expect him to cook, much less him being a good cook. It took me a moment to say anything after seeing him so focused on what he was doing."I have no idea but I'm starving," he answered without looking back at me."Aren't you going to call them?"He tasted a bit of the stew and hummed in thought. "Why should I? They're grown-ups.""Aren't you worried?""Nope. There have been times when they wouldn't be home for two days straight."I frowned at that. "Are you okay with that?""I don't necessarily want them around either." Putting a lid on top the pot, he turned to face me. "They'll be back.""I see." I sat down

"I'm beat!" Ryan said as he took a seat on a bench in the park while Louis and I followed suit. We had spent the entire morning looking for jobs and most of them were not hiring. Considering that we were already in the second month of the holiday, I kind of expected it. When I told Louis and Ryan that I wanted to try looking for a job, I was shocked when they said that they wanted to join me. We were looking for something that could accommodate the three of us and I figured that it would be easier since the socializing part of all of this irked me regardless. Luckily, the bench was under a tree and I instantly felt relaxed when I took a seat in-between my buddies. My feet ached and I had four job advertisement flyers in my hands that we still hadn't gone to. "Me too. I feel like we've been moving forever," Louis said as he leaned into the bench and looked at the branches above us. "We've practically been doing that. We need a breather," I said. "I feel like my legs will fall of

I looked down the road as I waited for the bus that my sister was going to arrive in. She told me that she was only five minutes away but I've been waiting for an extra ten minutes. Today was the dreaded day that Grace decided to visit. Arguing with her would be more annoying and I figured that giving her what she wanted would make her back off. When I texted earlier and asked if she had company, she told me that she was alone. I found that strange. Being the only girl of the family, I expected our parents to be more overprotective about her. Darren must've stolen all the attention. Despite being relieved that she wasn't coming with our parents, I low-key felt like they sent her to spy on me. I sighed. It wasn't like I was looking poorly or doing drugs. They already knew about my preference so, there was no reason to hide it. I spotted the bus making it's way to the stop and I took a few steps back to preserve my life. After the vehicle parked and the doors slid open and a few p

Henry's head lay on my lap while I gently stroked his hair. The empty packet of biscuits was on the nightstand and we had brushed the crumbs off the bed earlier. He was laying on his back while his face faced the ceiling. Although his eyes were closed for a while, the tapping of his forefinger on his stomach showed me that he was awake. I still couldn't get over the fact that I was in his room. Every time I sat here with him, I was over the moon. Did he understand what his actions made me think? How they made me feel? We just sat in silence while enjoying each other's company. I wondered what went through his head during moments like these. Moments when we were intimate without having to undress. "You still haven't told me what happened at work," I said softly and Henry hummed. "I've forgotten." "Then tell me how your day went." "It was great although I talked to too many people. Being a cashier is more interactive than I thought." "Of course. You need to talk back when they a
