{ Rodrick }The Taffy house is even bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside, but it's not as intimidating as I imagined because it's very homey. There are millions of pictures of the whole family all over the house, the walls are a nice blue and the furniture looks comfortable. Plus, there are so many people here that it looks big out of necessity and not just out of extravagance. I feel uncomfortable when we walk in and everyone stares at us as if we are intruders. There's an air of distrust in some of their scents, especially from that jerk Daniel, who is sitting on one of the couches with a beer bottle in his hand and a sleeping pup on his chest. Just seeing his face raises the hairs on my body with the urge to hurt. "Rodrick, come here," Dalia calls to me from what I imagine is the kitchen and my heart flips out at being called out like that. I swallow and move toward her voice, walking past everyone. "Who is this random man?" a small pup with blonde hair asks, lo
{ Clara } It’s our first morning waking up in our bed as a normal couple and things are going well. Rodrick magically wakes up at the time he needs to wake up without needing an alarm and gives me a kiss on the forehead before going to take a shower. I go down to the kitchen in a good mood to make breakfast and just as I’m finishing, Rodrick comes downstairs wearing the clothes I got him last night from Deborah's boyfriend. He looks great in that fitted shirt and jeans that might be a little too tight.A few seconds later Andrew comes down as well, wearing formal clothes and looking excited. Rodrick is a little bitter about having to start his community service, but Andy is very excited about whatever his new job is going to be and somehow manages to improve Rodrick's mood. I let them take my car so they can get to the chapel easier and then I lay down to sleep for another while, taking advantage of the fact that it's my last day off before I have to get back to my normal life an
{ Rodrick }From the moment I arrived at the chapel I could tell that my community service would not be like what I had to do when I was sixteen, when I got caught with my friends smoking weed and we were forced to clean the streets and paint over graffiti on some walls. I should have figured it out because in Fallonmore I haven't seen any dirty streets let alone any graffiti on walls.I have no idea what kind of delicate people they have here, but everyone seems perfectly well behaved. I imagine it must be boring for young people, but nice for everyone else. If I were Alpha, I'd make sure that my clan was like that. As soon as we get inside, a beta girl greets us and leads us into Frank's huge office where he waits for us, standing next to the Judge. My hairs stand up in panic thinking maybe he changed his mind and they'll take advantage of Clara being safe at home to arrest us again, but that doesn't happen."Hi, guys," Frank greets us, looking calm, "This is Alessandro Robles, a
I run for hours and hours, only stopping when I'm incredibly tired and hungry. I don't know where I am now, but I take the time to eat in the woods until I'm satisfied and then go back. I think I absolutely overdid it this time. By the time I get back to the house it's been hours and the muscles in my legs are swollen. I carefully enter the house, but obviously Clara and Andy are both already asleep. I decide to take a shower in the full bathroom upstairs and go out naked to our room, but Clara is not there. Immediately my heart starts pumping hard. The bed is made, so she hasn't been here at all. I go straight out to Andrew's room. I walk over to his body on the bed and start moving him until he moans and pushes my hand away. "What do you want?" he moans, eyes puffy and hair wild, "Let me sleep." "Where's Clara?" "How should I know? Sleeping?" he asks, incredibly annoyed and raising a hand to carve his eyes, "She's not in her bed....ew! Why are you naked?" "She’s not the
"You're seriously unhinged," I push his hands away and try to move, but he won't let me do it, "I don't understand why I should apologize." "For sleeping in another bed last night, for starters. For spending unnecessary money on me. And more importantly, for being a pain in my ass!" He spouts that nonsense in my face and now takes advantage of my bewilderment to keep undressing me until I'm only in my panties. Once he has me like this, he grabs my face in his hands and pulls our foreheads together, "I have a right to get upset sometimes, okay? You can't act like I'm just your boy toy and I have to accept everything you do without complaint. We're a couple, aren't we? You have to ask me before you do things like that, I'm not just another ornament in your house. I don't know if Daniel just let you dress him like a doll to keep you happy, but I don't like it." "I was doing something nice for you, you should say thank you even if you don't mean it," I blurt out, though I understand wh
We go down to the kitchen together after getting dressed for the day. Rodrick finally accepted that I don't plan to return anything I bought and today he decided to wear sports clothes because he will spend all day fixing up a cabin. I decided to wear a short sundress and sandals because I plan to go out with my mother later for lunch. When we get to the kitchen, we see Andrew. He’s already sitting down, eating cereal and giving us a curious look. "Oh, you’re happy again," he comments as we get closer to him, "That's good. The tension was killing me." "It's all good now, but why are you eating that?" I complain, reaching over to take the bowl from him before he tries to keep eating that and then leave the house with only that in his stomach, "It's not enough, let me cook you something else." "We fucked our problems away, if you must know," Rodrick shares, causing Andrew to groan out loud in disgust. Rodrick laughs at his brother before reaching over to scent his hai
{ Rodrick } Clara looks incredibly gorgeous when she comes down the stairs once she's ready for our date. The sight of her makes my heart race like crazy and my hands start sweating like when I was little and first started liking girls. She's wearing extra high heels and a short dress, her hair is curled and her makeup extra heavy. She looks like a superstar, although I have to admit I like her better when she's just woken up, when her eyes are puffy and her hair is a mess all over, but I have enough brains to know that's something I should keep to myself. I walk over to her and take her face in my hands with the intention of kissing her, but Clara pushes me aside. "No. I don't want you to ruin my makeup. We can kiss when we get back home," she says with a condescending smile before patting my chest a couple of times. She grabs my hand before I can express how stupid that is and pulls me towards the door, "Bye, Andy. Order some dinner, okay? Don't go to bed without eating."
{ Clara } Olivia has been out of it the whole night. Her eyes are glazed over and she hasn't been talking at all, she only has eyes for Daniel and Laurie, as if she is in her own little world where no one exists but her family. It’s actually cute.But Daniel on the other hand is being himself all the way through and trying to be the perfect groom, talking to the guests throughout the party. The only time he relaxes is at his first dance. It's beautiful to watch, to be honest. The way Daniel holds my sister and smiles at her with all the love in the world is just magical. And when Laurie runs up to them and dances with his parents it makes everyone's heart melt. "Hey, you don't have to keep catering to everyone, you know," I tell Daniel when I end up next to him at the bar, "That's what my parents are for." "It's expected of me," he replies after taking a swig from his liquor glass and looking at me with a smile. The complete bliss on his face makes me feel a mixture of good an
