Chapter twelve - Cleo
"You are a crazy good actress." Luke says as soon as we're in the car and driving back to his. "And you weren't kidding when you said you could make them love you, I swear they were ready to adopt you or marry us off."
"Oh no, you've discovered my secret plan to trap you into an arranged marriage." I laugh, holding my hands above my head to catch the wind as he drives. "Seriously though, they're nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, your mum's lovely."
"Yeah, maybe." He smiles across at me and I return it happily. I've quite enjoyed myself today, despite the worry beforehand, they were surprisingly understanding about the whole Colin situation. "How did you know all that art stuff though? You just happen to guess Trevor was an art buff and cram last night or something?"
"No, that was all true, did you not notice t

Shane let's himself in my house at the crack of dawn, in actuality it's like eight in the morning, but I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. I was so horny after Cleo left that I ended up having a wank in the shower, twice and still images of her licking my semen off her hands had me hard as rock as soon as I tried to get to sleep. I need to get laid soon. "Mate, cover yourself up." Shane laughs, chucking a cushion at me, shielding his eyes from my naked body as soon as I peel the quilt back. "Worried I'll turn you on." I wink at him. "You'd be lucky. Hurry up, Rory's outside in a text fest with the others about how today is going to play out. Apparently even the girls are going to be scary Branston High scum when

Luke gets up and answers the door. A girl's voice floats through to us, then footsteps run upstairs and Luke reappears, sitting down beside me and spinning the bottle like nothing has happened.No one looks at all surprised by this even though we can still hear footsteps above our heads.He's tense beside me and I'm trying to work out what's going on with him, but he keeps avoiding eye contact. Focusing on whoever is telling their story, with much more interest than he was paying before the interruption. Eventually I give up wondering, figuring I'll ask him when we're on our own.That's if we're going to, now that he has company? I'll probably end up going home instead.The realisation make me put the beer down that

I’d expected Cleo to stay the night last night, I know she’d barely touched her beer, but it was late when we got to bed and then we fucked twice, which was much needed on my side. I’ve been so preoccupied with her that I haven’t had time to go out and pull anyone else, but actually, despite her fears of it hurting and not knowing what she was doing, she was very good in bed. I was pleasantly exhausted when she got up and started getting dressed to go home. I even tried to convince her to stay, which is unusual for me, but it made sense since we’re all going paintballing today. She insisted on driving back home though, saying she didn’t have a change of clothes here and didn’t want to wear the same thing and make it obvious to everyone what had happened. I made her promise to text me when she got in and I’m trying not to take offence to that, but she did say I could drive over and pick her up after

I wake up in Luke’s car feeling much better. He must have woken before me and let me sleep while he drove the rest of the way to Alex’s farm, which was really sweet, especially since I’m not sure how much, if any, sleep he must have gotten between him stopping texting me last night and picking me up this morning. Alex and a few other people are already setting up the games when we arrive and immediately a pretty blonde girl runs over and wraps her arms around Luke. A worrying twinge of jealousy pulses through me and I try to suppress it when she turns around and smiles at me. “Cleo right? Rory told me about you. I’m Kia.” She says, but her arm is still around Luke’s waist and I can’t focus on anything but that. It’s only when Luke laughs and nudges me that I realise I’m still staring at her. “Sorry, yes, I’m Cleo

"Thank you for driving, Emily." Aurora's mum climbs into the passenger seat of Shane's mum's car. Shane getting out to let Aurora sit between us in the back. "Oh your welcome Alison, I'm so excited, Snuggles and Snoopy are going off to university. Well, at least looking." Shane's mum beams back at us, then starts the car and pulls away, the two mums chatting about how to orchestrate the uni visit today. "Snoopy?" Aurora giggles beside me, but I kind of love that Shane's mum cares enough to give me a nickname, so I just smile at her and nod. "That's so cute." "As am I." I wink at her and she laughs again, rolling her eyes at me and changing the subject to talk about the university we're about to see. In true Aurora style, she's got a map and brochures detailing

My alarm blares from my phone at five am, my eyes shoot open and I try to sit up, but I'm being kept on my back by someone. Blonde hair is on my chest and although I don't remember falling asleep with Luke on top of me, he's definitely there now and I'm fairly sure I've lost the feeling in my right arm."What time is it?" He mumbles sleepily against my chest."About five." I twist to try to reach my phone, but my hand is numb, so I end up slapping at it and it continues its high pitched screaming."Why the hell is your alarm going off at five?" He grumbles, reaching over and swiping the screen to end the noise."It's when I get up for swimming normally." He groans, laying back onto my chest and closing his eyes."Too ea

I woke up wrapped around Cleo this morning, I didn't want to get up, but it's my required visit to mum's and she knows it, so she's already showered and getting ready to go home."I could tell her I'm sick." I say, the third excuse I've come up with to try to avoid going. "We could do something fun instead. Bowling, cinema, ice skating?""Ice skating?" She pauses, I see the indecision cross her face and think I've got her, but then she shakes her head and pulls her socks on. "You need to go, she's your mum. We can go ice skating another time.""I don't want to go." I whine, sticking my head under the pillow. I feel the bed move as she climbs on beside me, lifting the pillow and placing it over her head as well."Why not?""Yo

My dad comes down and sits on the edge of the pool, waiting until I've finished and climbed out before speaking to me. "You're making good times." He comments but I know this isn't why he's really down here. He's got that look, that one that means he's going to talk to me about something that he's been thinking about for a little while. "Thank you, hopefully it's good enough." I say, wrapping a towel around myself while I wait for him to ask me what he really wants. "You were up late last night, who were you on the phone to?" There we go! "Luke from school, we were watching the new Jumanji." I say, looking directly at him so he'll know I'm telling the truth.
