Life is never what it seems.

Chapter 6

Chuckling to myself as I leave everyone behind. That was some messed-up sex talk, I should be embarrassed, but I'm not. Ok, some of it was, but only because hearing about your aunt's sex life is a no for me considering Hanna over shares her shenanigans often enough I love, my family but they can be overbearing and I just need to de-escalate sometimes and being here allows me to do just that.

I wish it was easy to explain how amazing one place can make a person I get it when I'm in the woods, especially these woods. It is almost like I'm home where I should be. My mom would always tell me about her woods and how she was where she was supposed to be all along, only it was taken from her. Walking further through the woods, hearing what seems like a wounded animal to come across is far worse.

As she got closer to the large old Oak tree near the border to the other side she saw a girl on her knees, she could only see the back of her but the boy oh my god Susan dropped behind the tree as the boy turned towards her "did you hear that" the girl asked him stopping what she was doing. Susan covered her mouth with her hand, stopping her scream of pain as she hit her elbow when she dropped for cover. Only to realise she knew the voice turning to look again. Yep, the boy from earlier, the condom stealer and Channel the boyfriend stealer together.

Oh crap, crap, crap why looking to the sky you are a mean god not only have you tortured me with my family earlier but now this you have a sick sense of humour she screams in her head trying to stay still as not to make her ware about to them "are you sure" Channel asked him again as Susan hears them moving about as her heart was about to jump out of her chest they must be able to hear it from there as she tries to hold her breath about to pass out well that's not going to work she mumbles to herself.

Then the slurping and moans started up again closing her eyes embarrassed as she tried to get up as quietly as she could not to make a noise "Oh god you taste so good" Susan couldn't help it she choked as she tried to not laugh but as she turned to check, they hadn't noticed her but he was staring right at her as he winks pulling Channel's head against him moaning out his release. With that Susan turned around, running back to the lake house and having a talk with herself about her staying longer than she needed to and getting excited at the same time.

She runs as fast as her legs will take her, hoping to get as far away as she can so as not to face him right now. Not looking where she was going she ran into a tree hitting her head and falling to the ground she landed on her buttocks groaning holding her head but also rubbing her bottom "You ok?" Susan looks up oh screw my life closing her eyes as she mumbles not a tree but a hot guy asked as she looked back up and mumbling "Yes".

"What were you running from, or should I say who were you running from he asked, still looking down at her. Let's just say my face was burning redder than a baboon's bottom. He puts his hand out to help me off the ground, and I take the offered hand. At that precise moment, Blake and Channel come walking out of the woods.

Susan starts mumbling profanities at herself. The new hot guy looks down at her with, I know what you were running from with a smirk on his face. I hate my life. Please ground open up and swallow me now.

Again, that scream. "Oh my god, babe, when did you get here?" As Channel runs towards Susan, hugging her as she jumps with joy, only Susan isn't joyful with this girl. Pulled away "This morning, when did you get here?" She asked, not looking at Blake. "Oh, we got to here about an hour ago!" she says and my mouth drops to the floor.

"Oh wow, and you're already on your knees" she mumbles under her breath, but the new hot guy laughs. Crap, he heard me. "How do you know Blake she asked?" "oh, I don't. We just bumped into each other." 'Oh, wow?" Blake smirks at Susan as he winks. She looks at him with distaste.,"Brother, you just can not help yourself.","Brother?" I say as I look at the stranger next to me, Blake Smirks, , "what can I say? Girls love what I have to give!" Oh god I was sick in my mouth; yep. She glanced at her with distaste to see nothing had changed. I would like to say it was nice seeing you, but I would be lying!" with that, Susan walks away.

As I stepped on the porch, Channel came running towards me. "Susan's stop, please. What happened last year had been a mistake! I'm not like that. What I did to Kimmy had been low" I didn't want to listen to any more of her nonsense walking to the back door not turning but I needed her to know. "Kimmy isn't here because of you. You seem to like what is hers even sleeping with her cousin!" she gasps "Wh... what?" with that I walked into the house, not looking back.

I don't have a problem with people being promiscuous; we are primal beings, after all. But I have a problem when people go after what isn't theirs. I thought Channel had been the same as us until last year and now. "HAY, where did you go earlier?" Alexa asked. Walking towards me, "For a walk!" I tell her, "I hate you, by the way. " I tell her, "Please don't do that to me ever again." She chuckles "I make no promises... Have you met your grandmother?" laughing.

"True," I say as we make our way to the den. "Hi, honey, you're back. We are all about to go out and set the fire pit up. Are y'all joining us? If so, bring your blanket?"

Everyone was there, even the new neighbours. Emma's cuddled up to a man who, I am assuming, is Colby, her husband. "How are you today?" she chuckles. "I'm a fine. I'm used to my family's little embarrassing behaviours!" I tell her.

"Yes, they are different," she laughs. Come sit with us. She moves over to the lounge chair. As I was sitting down, I noticed Gemma was not there. "Where's Gemma?" "Oh, she'll be out in a minute". Speak of the devils; they all came out, including the new guy.

"Sue, this is my oldest, Jake. You met, Blake I believe?" he looks at me, "in more ways than one!" "And you know Gemma" she laughs. "Hi y'all, how are you now?" I asked her. Gemma smiled, "the same as you!" she told me, laughing a little red in the face. "Oh, it ain't my first rodeo," I tell her, at that all the women laugh. My dad looked at me and asked what had he missed.

Well, all the women burst out laughing harder than before. "Dad, glance at all the men, but they all have the same gaze."

"Oh, ya'll, they gave us the sex talk." At that, they all laughed, bending over, holding their stomachs. My dad was not happy at all, and neither was Colby. "What?" Colby turned to Emma and Dad is looking at my nana "ya'll want be joking she is only seventeen, nowhere near having sex!" he looked at me, right Susan?" still looking at me. "She is way too young for that." "Well," my nana says, "if I remember correctly, you made this one on Virgin Island. At this age!" my dad's face was priceless; I couldn't help it; I burst out laughing so hard it hurt.

My dad was trying to justify himself. "Well. I, well, it was, I, we, I got nothing," he mumbled. At that, everyone was in stitches. I sat on the edge of the lounge chair, as we hadn't got all of them out of the boathouse yet.

"Come sit closer, honey," Emma says. "Thanks," I cover myself as it gets a little chilly. I covered myself, but as I got comfortable, I felt someone get under my blanket with me as I turned my head a little; it was the new guy, Jake. I raise an eyebrow "What it's warmer here!" only to get closer to me, like right up against me, like fill him against me close. "You good there, son?" the big man asks "Yep, with a cheeky smile."

As the night goes on and drinks are flowing, all the adults are having a laugh, telling jokes and tales laughing at each other's shenanigans, and my family had a lot. Mite, I ad. Jake is fidgeting. I turned my head over my shoulder. "What are you doing I whisper?" "My bum is getting cold," he mumbles, making me chuckle.

"Here. " I move the blanket over more for him, and as he covers his bottom, he then winks at me. "What?" he chuckles. I elbow him in the ribs ow he laughs even louder. "Sorry, I will behave!" as we both stare back at everyone. They are all looking at us. "Look what ya'll gone and done now!" I say to him. He burst out laughing again, and my nana and Hanna winked at me. "OH NO NO, it's not like that!" I say, getting red-faced again. Everyone is laughing now. Staring at him, "Jerk."
