EMBERLY* Derrick and I glanced at each other in stunned silence as we tried to piece together what dad had just said. I had always wanted to go to Paris, but our parents never took us with them. Not even during the long extended summer break. I had asked several times if they would take me, but they never had. Now out of the blue, they want Derrick and me to move there halfway through our senior year of high school. What in the bloody hell is wrong with them? I don't care if they cut Derrick and me off; I'm not going anywhere. Derrick looks as if he is about to blow. His eyes keep squinting and closing tightly, his skin is turning crimson, a vein is popping out of his temple as he grits his teeth, and his knuckles, on the one hand, he didn't smash into the wall the other night, have turned white. Derrick got up, walked over to the fireplace, and started to build a new fire. As if he were trying to calm himself down somehow. "Let me get this straight because I have to be imagining t
DERRICK* I went to my room quickly and got dressed for the day. I applied some deodorant and cologne so I wouldn't smell like sex, then promptly began to strip mine and Emberly's beds. Yolanda had cleaned and changed out our sheets three days ago, but that didn't amount to much after everything that we had done the last two days. I put fresh sheets on our beds, took the dirty sets down to the laundry room, and threw them in the sheets and towels bin. Mom and dad were nowhere to be seen, so I guess they were hashing it out in their room. I ran back upstairs and saw that Emberly had retreated from her bath and was dressed and putting away all her designs. "I just now realized the prom dress I designed is missing. I guess mom decided to use one of my designs after all. The rest are here and accounted for. I'm sure she has forgotten about the rest of these, but I think maybe I should hide them somewhere. I'm thinking somewhere in your room because she never goes in there. Would you be o
EMBERLY* A month has passed. It's been five weeks since I had the miscarriage. I had my appointment with my gynecologist a week ago, where I was given a pap smear and labs drawn. I was given the go-ahead to become sexually active again if I wanted. However, I was unable to get the IUD I was hoping for because it needed to be ordered, and the doctor felt it would be best to wait the full six weeks of healing time before applying the IUD to my cervix. So in one week, I will return to the doctor, and Derrick and I have refrained from sexual activity. That hasn't kept us from kissing and cuddling with every free moment we could find. Which hasn't been much, with our school work and sports. Time has not been on our side. Our house hasn't been sold yet. Which is fine I suppose because Derrick and I have plenty of money saved up from modeling all of these years. The realtor said it would most likely be March before we had any interested buyers. Derrick and I have moved into our new luxurio
DERRICK* I woke up the following morning with a sinus infection. My nose and ears were stopped up, and I developed a cough at some point in the night. I had gotten up and taken some NyQuil and had moved to the couch to sleep so I wouldn't wake Emberly up. Regardless, the NyQuil had kept me up for the most part and hadn't helped at all. When seven o'clock rolled around, I returned to our room to ensure Emberly's alarm had gone off. She wasn't there, so I walked to her bathroom, where she was putting on her makeup. "Hey baby, I'm not going to kiss you or anything. I'm sure at this point, but I think I'm contagious. I'm going to get ready and go to the clinic and see if I can get some antibiotics. Could you possibly go by the office and let them know I won't be making it to class today?" "Yes, of course. I'm sorry you aren't feeling well. I'll take notes for you since we have the same classes. Oh, you have a temperature," Emberly said as she walked over and placed her palm on my foreh
EMBERLY* Since I'm the basketball team captain, I ensured everyone worked their asses off today so we could leave practice early. I stopped at a sexy kink store and bought a few outfits that I knew would drive Derrick insane and hauled ass to the apartment so I could shave and get ready for the night before Derrick got home. I texted Derrick around five to have him stop at the grocery store to grab us something to eat. I hoped that would give me an extra thirty minutes to get all dolled up with smokey eyes. Most likely, the food he brought home would get forgotten once Derrick saw me, but that's ok. I was hungry for my man, not food. I quickly put my makeup on and chose the black kink wear I had bought to blend well with the cuffs he had gotten, which were red and black. I looked at all of the options before me and decided instead of the cuffs; we could use the bed restraints that would essentially have me splayed out on the bed with my wrists and ankles bound. I worked to get the
DERRICK* Being a star football and basketball player has its perks. There's never a shortage of guys to help take apart and transport furniture to storage. Grant it, there are only two I can trust not to rat Emberly and me out, but that's fine. That's all I needed, along with Emberly, to complete the job. Emberly is such a trooper through it all, though, which makes me love her all the more. Tucker and Ace helped me construct the tables and massive sewing machine; then, we left Emberly to put everything else as she wanted. However, when we all returned to the apartment, Emberly had lunch waiting for us. She had eaten when we arrived and was back in her room working. Emberly had told some of her friends at school that she was willing to make dresses for prom, so she already had four orders to fulfill. She needed to get the ball running since our senior prom will be held on the first of April, which would be here in a flash. With school and sports, she wouldn't have much free time beyo
EMBERLY* March rolled around so quickly that it made my head spin. If it weren't for Derrick helping me with the dresses, I never would have pulled the project prom dress off. Derrick would sew while I stitched on gems and did fittings and alterations. We completed ten prom dresses and had a week to spare before the big day. It may not seem like much, but Derrick and I made around twenty-seven hundred dollars. We opened separate checking and savings accounts, as Derrick had suggested during Christmas break. So we split the money and put it into our savings accounts. "Dad called and said they had gotten a call from the realtor. It seems we have four potential buyers for the house. They will be coming home to stay for a while until the bidding war ends," Derrick said as he sat beside me on the couch. "Maybe we should have gotten the three-bedroom apartment instead. How are we going to explain our living arrangements now," "Easy, we tell them I sleep on the couch. We could transfer al
DERRICK* I had a sinking feeling mom and dad would show up earlier than what dad had told me. If they had shown up an hour or two before, Emberly and I would have been screwed. Why had dad even bothered to call and spew out bull shit about them leaving in a day? Mom and dad are on to us, and a part of me wants to confess. As if they owned the place, mom and dad walked in without a word and perched themselves on the couch. Right where Emberly and I had fucked and came together three hours prior. I sighed in relief, knowing that I had picked our clothes up from the floor and had tossed them into the laundry hamper earlier after finishing up with my bathroom. "Nice couch, son," "Thanks. It's currently my bed for the time being until Emberly goes to college," "What?" Mom asked as she looked down at the couch. "We turned Emberly's room into a design studio, and there was no longer room for a bed with all the sewing equipment. So I gave her my room for now until she leaves," "I'd love
