MaximilianThat's where everything took a turn. It always goes back to four years ago, or in Alexander's instance, six years ago.I look at Via and watch as she studies us while taking small sips of her tea. How do we look in her point of view because from my point of view I don't see us as solid friends. Fuck, I don't even think we're friends period.Looking back on it, I don't think we actually were ever solid friends. We were more like acquaintances with a need for support to survive to some degree.Via stirs her cup of tea and tilts her head. She then narrows her eyes at me. "You expect me to believe that you guys would never lie to me again?" She looks away from me and down at her teacup. "I know you guys are great liars but don't lie about that too.""Via—" I trail off, not knowing exactly what to say.Well, that's false because I do know what I want to say but I know Via isn't going to want to hear it. She's set on being pissed at us, therefore anything I try to say will just b
ViaAs I recall the naive moment when I climbed into Ezra's automobile, I feel as though I had been hit with a whiplash. My foolishness led me to get into his car, and now that I'm going at a rapid pace, I'm struggling to maintain my composure."Girl, you're afraid to go fast?" Elizabeth shakes her head, glancing at me through her rearview mirror."No." I shake my head as Elizabeth starts to slow down. "I simply don't enjoy it," I stifle a giggle."Okay, if you say so." Elizabeth quickly pulls into the parking lot as the park suddenly comes into view."Alright, let's go, girly!" Elizabeth remarks as she shuts her car's roof...."Well, today was fun." Elizabeth reapplies her rich, dark crimson lipstick while I watch. She almost seems to be putting blood on her lips."See, I told you it would be!" Elizabeth remarks as we enter her vehicle."However, you were accurate. I grin as I work to remove the purple bingo paint from my hair, saying, "They were competitive.""Yeah—" Stephanie ends
ViaOver the course of tacos, Stephanie and Elizabeth had made it abundantly plain that they did not intend to attend school that day. To tell you the truth, I had no intention of going back either. As a result, we made the decision to go to the movies rather than going to class."So, I don't want to be pushy," I said, swirling my horchata thoughtfully. "But can I ask what's in that box we got earlier?"After an extended period of stillness between them, Stephanie let out a deep sigh, and then she looked at Elizabeth for a moment before finally nodding her acknowledgement."Alright, we'll tell you," Stephanie said with a firm nod, bearing a serious expression on her face. "But you gotta promise not to judge us.""Yeah, this is a judgment-free zone, okay?" During the time that we were coming to a stop at a red light, Elizabeth made a comment and glanced back at me. "Got it?"In an honest response, I said, "Yeah, I promise," while simultaneously experiencing a mixture of interest and co
Maximilian"Where are we going?" Via asks as she puts on her seatbelt.I can't believe I'm actually fucking doing this."On an adventure," I say as I turn the car on and put my own belt on. "Which requires a long drive."Younger me would've probably never even thought of doing this. Which is exactly why I have to do this."Are you mad at me?" she asks, looking at me."No," I say and instantly pull into the road."Are the others mad at me?" she says, causing me to look over at her for a few seconds.She's running her hands through her hair and looks uneasy."No," I say once again and switch gears. "I have a question for you."I hear her shift in her seat. "Yeah?"I stop at a red light and turn to her. "Be honest with me." I tap my thumb against the steering wheel. "Why do you like us?"She looks at me, confused. "What?"The light turns green, and I begin driving again. "Why do you like me and my friends, Via?" I ask as I keep my speed under thirty."Because—" She trails off. "Where is
Maximilian"You're just fine the way you are." I drive up to the half-empty parking lot for the hiking trail and park in a spot far from the other cars. "Let's go." I walk to her side and open her door."I've never been up here," she says as she looks around."After the conversation I had with your dad, I don't think you've gone anywhere, period," I say as I take her hand in mine.She frowns. "Yeah, true," she says as she follows my lead. "Sometimes—" She cuts herself off. "Never mind.""Tell me," I tell her as I look around."Sometimes I think they never wanted me to grow up." She looks down. "I think my dad and brothers always expected me to be a child playing with Barbies and my toy cars.""Because they love you," I say as I stop in my tracks. "I would've preferred for my family to have wanted me to never grow up instead of telling me to grow up faster."I look around and try to remember where the lake is."Your parents made you grow up fast?" I hear Via ask, which causes me to fre
Maximilian"Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do that." Via says as she shakes her head. "I wouldn't have been able to control my anger.""Yeah, I know." I look at her. "I learned that after the whip cream thing at school."She turns a light shade of pink but then glares at me. "You guys did it on purpose. Didn't you?" She says accusingly."Yeah." I nod. "I wanted to make sure that the time you spent away from us didn't change your feelings towards us and the others did too.""I wanted to strangle you guys every time you guys talked and laughed with them." She says as she rolls her eyes at me.Chances are I would've let her, but that's a conversation for another time."Yeah, you're nothing like my mom." I look away from her and add another rock to my tower. "My mom was always so unbothered as if she was only ever in it for the money." My tower falls and I sigh. "Once I found this place-" I trail off. "I didn't want to go back. At all. I just wanted to be at peace."Via tilts her head at me.
Maximilian"Yeah?" She hovers over me, her eyes fixed on mine. "Because I'm yours?" She asks as she places one hand on each side of my head."No." I shake my head, looking up at her. "Because I'm yours." My gaze drops to her lips and then back up to her eyes. "You own me in every way, shape, and form.""I can feel how hard you are," she whispers, her breath warm against my skin as I feel her begin to leave a wet spot on my jeans.I run my right hand from her lower back down to her ass. "And I can feel how soaked you are." I slip my hand under her skirt and instantly feel her panties. "Are you only wearing your panties under your skirt? Nothing else?" I ask, slightly thrusting my hips up."Easy access?" she whimpers, causing my cock to twitch in my jeans. It wants nothing more than to be freed from its tight-ass space.But more than anything, I want to tell her how I really feel about her. I don't want another day to go by without telling her the truth. I need to tell her that I love h
ViaI truly didn't think I was going to make it. I truly thought that I was going to get busted, and my family was going to find out. But that's not the case.Maximilian thankfully got Sergio to cook up some dishes which Sergio made to perfection. Maximilian then asked me if he could call Alexander to help us, which I happily accepted since we needed the help.Now, the ending product look perfect thank to all of them."Does it look believable?" I ask Maximilian and Alexander as I finish setting up the plates."Kind of." Maximilian says with a nod."I should probably throw away the takeout plates in my trashcan though." Alexander says as he finishes collecting the takeout plates and bags."Good Idea." I say with a small laugh as I finally step back and look at the ending product. "This looks perfect."The big dining table has the main dishes in the middle with sides on each side of the table. There're also ten plates perfectly placed with utensils on them. Everything looks so fancy."Y
