After Everything 20
The pitter patter of the rain hits the windows of Della’s diner. Where Em and I have been for the past 3 hours after I picked her up from work and we came here to work on our assignment. It’s been three days since we stayed up at her place watching Grey’s until 4AM as we may have finished season 1. In one night. The obsession is real. With Grey’s and her. She’s in the same gorgeous sweat set but in a light blue colour and her dirty AF1s. She hates her glasses but personally I think they make her look adorable. She glances up at me as the computer screen reflecting in her glasses. “What?” She says. “Urm, nothing.” “I’m sure my stickers are very interesting, find a favourite?” “Ahahaha, I wasn’t looking at them.” “Ok what where you looking at then?” “Just you’re gorgeous face.” “Okay. You done staring and ready to get back into it?” Does this girl ever take a break. We haven’t stoped since we got here. Her milkshake remains untouched. She has ta

He fucked up, big time. I hope he knows who he’s dealing with. After coming home and seeing Addy so upset and then trying to stop Sutton from driving over to Carter’s or from Josie calling her dad to kick him off the team, which he totally deserves. But right now, we need to look after our girl. “Ok, let’s go.” I demand. “Where?” Josie asks. “Let’s just go.” “Em really?” Sutton remarks. “Yes really.” “She’s not ok.” Josie points out. “You don’t think I know that and can see that.” “Then where are we going?” “To get soft serves and to jam to breakup songs. Exactly what the heart ordered. Ok so come on, let’s go.” We are all in my car now. Josie has her best break up songs playing on FULL VOLUME through my speakers. I did this to just take Addy’s mind off things. Sitting in the apartment wallowing is fine. But she is a strong, independent, fierce women who don’t need no man so. “Fuck him.” I yell, throwing my middle finger to the sky. I pu

“Can we please just give up we have been at this for hours now?” I innocently ask Em. “Seriously. You have just laid there doing absolutely nothing.” “Hey, I helped with that point.” I say gesturing to her screen and the singular line that reads Session 5…. “You mean the same title we have used on each document we have so far. Yes. Thank you your help was invaluable. Really couldn’t have done it without you.” She says mocking me. “So can we give up for now?” “Yeah we can. I’m actually pretty hungry. Do you want to just stay since the weather is pretty crazy out there.” She asks with sly smirk on her face. “Yeah, I will. Should we order from Della’s?” “YES!” “The same as always?” “Um yeah how do you remember?” “I always remember with you.” “Ok, well everyone else is out so do we want to just hit up the movie room.” “What the fuck you have a movie room?” “Shit, I forget it’s not normal. But yeah we do.” I get up and follow Em down the hallway

“Get up, get up, get up. It’s date day.” “Ok Jos you have way to much energy for…” I half open my eyes to read me clock “for 7 in the morning.” “Sorry, it’s just my best friend is finally going on a date with Kingston James.” I roll over to further burrito myself in the blankets and warmth, but I hear a scrunch of paper under my head. What is that? Oh, it’s a note. Morning beautiful. Hope you slept well. Just letting you know you have the cutest little snore. I’ll see you tonight gorgeous. X King. “I do not snore.” I argue with the air since he’s no longer here. He must have had practice this morning, I did feel the faintest kiss on my forehead that must have been him. “You do snore a little but Em now is not the time for that debate. You have to get up. We are going to brunch and then we need to get you date ready.” She pulls me up and out of my bed. “Because right now, yeah that’s no okay.” She says gesturing to my grey sweats I stole from my b

She is breathtakingly gorgeous. In her simple long sleeve white dress. With Doc Martins. Absolutely freaking beautiful. And I get to take her out on a date. After handing the donuts to Josie, the look is certainly a sight (one she gave Austen this morning, so I know she loves him). I grab Em’s hand leading her towards my car. “I’m really sorry Jos hassled you yesterday and today. I will get her to delete your number.” “It’s fine she was a big help and she cares a lot about you. Also don’t tell her to delete it, I’m might need it sometime.” If everything works out and Em become’s mine after tonight. I might need Josie in the future because Em is someone I can see the whole future with. And as everyone keeps reminding girls like her don’t come around twice. “Oh ok. I won’t. So where are we going?” “A special place. It’s an Italian restaurant.” You are taking her there. You haven’t taken anyone there. This is a big deal, Kingston. Are you sure? Yes because looking

He leans in running his thumb along my cheek with a gentle stroke, the wave of butterflies are filling my entire body in anticipation. His touch finally jolts me, as he leans in and smashes his lips against mine. My mind finally aligns with my body as I move my arms and wrap them around his shoulders as his grabs my face between his hands to deepen the kiss. I feel this everywhere. Like everywhere. He is everywhere. In me. Around me. Consuming me. The kiss is everything. It is fucking amazing. We kiss and kiss and kiss. It feels like days and hours have passed but in reality it’s a matter of minutes and seconds. His scent. His warmth. His presence. It’s all filling me. It reaches into every crevice of my body and ignites it. I never want to stop kissing him, like ever. But reality draws in and we slowly detach our mouths from each other. As I move my arms to around his waist and he pulls me closer to his body, there isn’t an inch of space separating us. We stay here

We are together. Kingston and I we have been dating for a week now and to be honest we fell into it very easily. Nothing much changed from before, except for a lot more touching whenever we’re together and an increasing amount of intimacy when making out. We haven’t taken that next step. We will soon, but for our now we are riding the wave of our new found bliss. Today’s his first home game in a while, so I ditched Cole’s jumper for a new jumper with a ‘27’ and ‘James’ scrawled across the back. And well since Austen and Josie are now out in the open loved-up she is wearing his ‘13’ and ‘Cooper’ written in bold text across her back. We snapped a photo before the game with our guys before they hit the change-rooms. Addy and Sutton just have plain jerseys on now with no numbers of the back, I said they could wear Coles still but they opted out. I’m slowly starting to enjoy the sport more, it was dad’s thing and being surrounded by it is turning into a positive thing it’s like he’l

We enter the lecture hall after picking up coffee this morning from Glazes, our new morning ritual we do together. Kingston practically lives at mine he doesn’t need much and I’m closer to campus. And well Cole is at his and as much as I love my brother doing stuff with your boyfriend whilst your brother is walls away he is not the most comfortable. We tried one time to stay at his but Cole practically burst into the room the minute he heard something, so we never tried that again. It’s a state of bliss, calm, comfort and perfection. He learnt I am not a morning person without my coffee. I learnt no kisses with morning breath. I’ve discovered he loves little kisses just along his jaw in the morning. I also learnt he does not sleep in, ever. He tries not to wake me but well he is as loud as a baby elephant and the instant feeling of warmth leaving me hits. So we get coffee every morning from Glazes sometimes I look like a zombie with my hair everywhere, bags under my eye
