I wake to the smell of eggs and bacon. I didn’t think I’d be this ravenous. Grandma bustles in the kitchen, preparing breakfast. I stay a while longer in bed, thinking. If someone had told me just five months ago that I’d be so much in love, that I’d meet the love of my life, I wouldn’t have believed them. But everything happens for a reason. Jesus, I love him so much! So much it hurts! Thank you for placing him in my way.

“Good morning, Granny! It smells delicious!”

“Good morning, sweetheart. Sleep well?”

Not really, to be honest. But I can’t tell her that, can I?

“Yes, pretty good,” I lie.

“How was the disco?” she asks without looking at me.

“I danced a lot but I wouldn’t like to return anytime soon.” She smiles at that.

We eat and she goes to her place, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I occupy myself with preparing an outfit for Kellan and Martin’s eighteenth birthday. They’re Ve’s buddies. I find my favorite tie-strap top that doesn’t cover my belly button and shoulders, and add a denim mini.

“You sure that’s what you want to go with?” Ve asks.

“Too revealing?” I was wondering about that too.

“I don’t know. I like it, but I’m not sure I’d like others to like it too.”

“Should I grab a sweater, too? It’s going to be cold in the evening.”

“Maybe get that denim shirt? I like it.”

“I thought about it. I have it prepared.”

I go to the dresser and reach for the garment, trying to free myself from the straps. Ve helps me out with a grin. He gets rid of the top, leaving me in the skirt.

“Those tits…” he mutters. “They’re perfect.”

His arms wrap around me at the level of my chest. His thumbs flick at my nipples. He shifts closer, puts a nipple between his lips, bites softly and sucks. I instantly feel hot. Ve walks to the sofa and hands me the second shirt. I put it on quickly.

“Better?”

“Better. Let’s go,” he says, grabbing my hand and leading me out.

We don’t talk about yesterday’s revelations. I know I need to start fixing Ve and help him get straight, but I need some more time to think it through.

Most guests are already there when we arrive. I scan through the crowd, looking for familiar faces. My eyes pause on Elsa, currently flirting with some guy. I hope it’s her boyfriend or at least today’s date. There’s an unpleasant knot in my stomach as I tighten my grip on Ve’s hand. He notices.

“What’s wrong?” he asks.

“I didn’t know she’d be here.”

Ve furrows his brow, searching for the source of my discomfort. He succeeds.

“Is she the one bugging you?”

“Yes,” I say and drop my head, a bit abashed at my own reaction, more fitting for a little girl than practically an adult.

Ve raises my chin with a finger and makes me look at him. He then places a wet, passionate kiss on my lips and pulls me closer, wrapping his arms around me in a warm, caring gesture.

“There’s only you. Nobody compares to you. Don’t worry,” he says and hugs me tighter. I’m grateful for that. It’s funny how sometimes we can communicate perfectly, and sometimes we can’t seem to break through to each other.

“Hey, babe, there you are!” It’s Lizzy.

I spin on my heel and slam into her outstretched arms. Lizzy is a good friend. I can’t say we’re especially close, but you can’t call every acquaintance a close friend, can you? Only Vicks and Ivy deserve to be called that. Maybe Nikki, too, though I don’t fully trust her. There’s something disturbing about her. Besides, my first impression of her was awful, and first impressions are rarely wrong in my case. She’s undoubtedly important to me, but when we spend time together, I can’t shake the feeling that she’s insincere. I don’t know if I can trust her one hundred percent, but I do love her like Ivy or Vicks.

Lizzy and Phillip are together, so he got his way in the end. However, it’s worrying. He’s a bit of a playboy. I fear he’ll have his fun and dump Lizzy. On the other hand, Lizzy is a very confident girl, a cocky single child, so she might as well wrap him around her finger and be the one to dump him. She will probably make him think he’s the one playing first fiddle. I can’t say I like the guy. I don’t trust him. His energy is weird. But Lizzy seems to like him just fine. I think they’re doing great.

A couple drinks in, everyone is having fun, partying. The dancefloor is bursting at the seams. The party is great. I dance and have lots of fun with Ve, but midnight comes fast. We’re still waiting for the birthday cake and confetti. We plan to take a French leave right after that.

The cake is incredibly good. It has caramel and whipped cream and tastes like heaven. Ve comes over, draws his pretty face very close to mine, and licks the remains of the cream from the corner of my mouth.

“I couldn’t help myself. I like watching you eat things you like. You’re always so caught up in it. You lose yourself eating cake, and the look in your eyes is as hot as when you suck my dick.”

“Ve!” I punch him in the shoulder. “You’re such a perv!”

“Only when I’m with you. I love you. Should we go now?”

“Wait a second. Let me finish my champagne.” I down the glass. He takes my hand, and we slip out, taking the opportunity when everyone is eating.

My head is filled with intrusive thoughts on our way back.

“Are you happy with me, Ve?”

“Yes, very much. Why are you asking?”

“I don’t know, to be honest. Sometimes it’s perfect, but there are moments when I sense a very different energy from you. It doesn’t fit your behavior.”

“Anything more concrete?”

“Not right now, no…”

“So stop overthinking things.” He grips my hand and kisses me on the top of my palm, stops, and turns me his way. “You’re everything to me. Never forget that.”

“I’ll try, but sometimes it’s hard to understand. That’s all. We’re going to Daisy Valley with Nicki tomorrow.” I change the subject. “I told you that before, didn’t I?”

I can’t remember if I did. I’m so happy with him, everything else seems unimportant. It’s as if all the other things didn’t exist. I enjoy each and every moment I have with him. He’s my whole world now.

“I don’t recall you saying that, no. Are you leaving for long?”

“A couple of days. My parents will be happy I went with them. I need to be there for them at least sometimes.” I chuckle. “Otherwise, they’ll think you eclipsed the world for me.”

“Did I?”

“Oh, yeah.”

“You did the same to my world.”

Finally, we reach my apartment block. We stop in the lobby, waiting for the elevator. I turn to Ve, who’s leaning against the wall. I slide my hand down his pants, reaching for his cock. He reacts instantly. His hands grip my thighs, clutch at them. They shift upwards and close on my buttocks. He lifts me in the air and I wrap my legs around his hips. My skirt slides up. My ass is showing. My lips find his. Ve accepts the kiss. His lips part. When the elevator comes, he doesn’t stop kissing me, carrying me inside and pressing my back to the wall. It’s cold. I push away the sensation and focus on his caress. He pulls his head away and says, “The way you mess with my head, girl… Do you want me to fuck you here and now?”

“I don’t know. You tell me what you want.”

“Don’t you provoke me, babe! You don’t have the slightest idea what I’m capable of when it comes to you.”

“Is that a threat or a promise?” I tease.

“Don’t overdo it, I’m warning you. Unless you want me to hold you to the wall and fuck you right away.”

I giggle. The elevator stops on my floor. We leave it in a rush, overtaken by emotion. I rummage through my bag for a key. It’s harder than I thought. When at last my fingers find the key, I pull it out and frantically open the door. Without breaking the kiss, we reach my bed. I left it unmade earlier. We lie in the sheets. Ve’s hands wander my body. I’m ready for him. He takes my clothes off, leaving only the panties.

“Stop, Ve, I need to freshen up.”

“What, now?” I can tell he’s disappointed.

“Yes, now. I have to.”

He drops his arms, surrendering. He gets up and follows me to the bathroom.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

“With you.” He smiles.

As soon as I’m clean enough, I sit on the rim of the tub, and Ve stands in front of me, pushing his prick in my mouth. He brushes it along my lips. I part them and take a lick. His hands land on my head, and he pushes himself deeper inside. I take him in, all of him, the entire length, and push so deep I can feel the tip poking at the back of my throat. My hand keeps stroking, lips tightly wrapped around the cock. I’m making sure there’s not even a single inch of his beautiful manhood I missed. Ve comes spectacularly, shooting his load down my throat. I swallow as much as I’m able and spit out the rest, rinsing my mouth with tap water.

Ve kneels before me, pulls my panties aside, and runs his tongue along my pussy. He licks outside and inside, helping himself with two fingers. I grip the rim of the tub. Orgasm comes quickly. My back arches. I come with his lips still clasped to my folds. He doesn’t stop licking and pumping with those fingers, only picking up the pace. I can’t do it! My brain is alight and spasms take over my body. I moan and cry out, shaking all over and toppling to the ground. Ve takes me in his arms and takes me to bed.

“Did I faint?” I ask so faintly I can barely hear myself.

“You looked close, but no, you didn’t.”

“You’re my god, Ve.”

“And you’re my goddess and I’ll never stop worshipping you.”

He kisses me on the mouth. I can smell my own scent on his lips. I snuggle in his arms and fall asleep.
