Morowa.I had recovered steady enough and Mary just warned us to be careful with our associates. My palms turned moist with the idea of going back to school after all the crazy things that had happened.Val and Sky stood alongside each other in the parking lot waiting for me. I gave them a small wave and Warren laughed lightly from beside me while finding a space to park.He had barely stopped when I hopped out if the moving vehicle. If my life was a movie,  this would probably have been the scene which was done in slow motion. After being smashed in a long, deep hug from Val which took away my breath, I turned to a nervous, fidgeting Sky. Why would Sky be nervous about meeting me again. We just shared happy glances but didn't make any body contact."So are we gonna stand here like statues or get to classes, " Warren broke us out of our dazes before Val dragged me to first period."Mowa, many things have happened during your

His head rested against my lap,  a comfortable weight while I ran my singers through his thick locks. Who would've thought my creep would be this guy. This intelligent, beautiful, caring guy with the most enchanting eyes."Why are you looking at me like that?" "Like how?" "Intense." He sat up and faced me on the large couch. "Like I'm gonna vanish into thin air." "What if you do?"His laughter filled the room and I breathed in concentrating on the sound. He didn't get it. Everything that had happened up took this point and he still stood beside me laughing at my question. Might sound cheesy but I couldn't imagine another day without him. Like a drug, he became addictive. My addiction. "I won't," he said with conviction. "And even if I did,  I'd hold you so I won't disappear alone."  "Great plan." We laughed at our little inside joke and I attempted to braid his hair but only came ha

Ariana's voice came out loud in the void silence of my room as I searched for the blasted phone with my eyes closed,  raining curses on the person calling me at this time of the night."Warren speaking." I rubbed my eyes still facing the ceiling."Hey son, your mother is having an episode of coughing and is spitting out her guts and we're in the way to the hospital right now,  please meet us there beca—." He literally yelled threatening to destroy my ear drums while an engine revved in the background followed by coughs."Dario, the road!" Her warning drowned his voice before a the line dropped with silence."Dario!" The phone bug into my face where I breathed down the mouthpiece praying nothing bad had happened.My hands dailed his number again, my fingers slipping in the wet screen from my sweaty palm. Nothing added up. Zhurah coughing and the line cutting off abruptly?

Deep and varying shades of the sun set set the dark brown of his eyes off , the warmth of his palm over mine a silent reassurance he didn't plan in going anywhere anytime soon. His silence said it all while he waited for me to sift through and try to solve the puzzle of emotions clashing against each other, demanding my attention in my mind."Who would've guessed it?"Even with my eyes concentrated on the miniature view of the city below us and the cars, lights,  people, movements seemed to take slow motions but I knew they hurried but it made no difference from this distance,  I noticed his head tip back and he drew in an audible breath.He didn't give me a response, silently urging me to continue. I sigh and found his hand giving it a small squeeze. "Who would've thought my creep would turn out to be this annoying being beside me."That drew a silent chuckle from him and he tightened his hold in my hand. "True." He

Wriggling my toes in the wet sand, I smiled up at the sun feeling like a kid at Christmas. My shades flipped over my eyes and I smiled at the redhead beside me. "You know,  you don't have to be so grumpy on the beach.""Uh, yes I do," she said. "Someone has to be the adult here."I smirked and wrapped my hands around her, stopping further movement and eliciting a yelp from her. "Oh yeah?" "Yeah." She bent her head to the side. An open invitation and how could I resist? I lowered my head and dropped a kiss on the curve where her neck met her shoulder earning a shiver in return."No need to get all touchy, people!" The shout made Val jerk in my grip and our heads collided at the sudden movement. "Let's try to keep what goes on in the bedroom, in the bedroom please!""Yeah, we have children in our midst so keep it light and PG." Devin backed her up and I could hear them snicker behind us.After our initial shyness after the graduation cere
