Life at the circus

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Vacation

It was now a few weeks later and summer was here. The whole circus crew was going on a week-long trip to California, just to get away for a while. Everyone had packed their swimsuits and everything they would need. You were wearing a tank top, shorts and a bikini underneath. You grabbed your bag with a bathing towel and sunscreen inside. You went out of the tent to see Popee leaned against the dinner table, waiting for you. He looked at you and grinned. He was wearing a white t-shirt and red and white striped swimming trunks, he had his hair in his usual messy pigtails.

You smiled and walked over to him. Your faces were very close to each other and he thought that you would lean into his lips and kiss him. But instead you crashed your head on his shoulder and hugged him tightly. He hugged you back and ran his hands through your hair.

"You know I love you, right?" you mumbled into his clothed shoulder, your face pressed against his shirt.

"Y-you're not gonna tell me you're pregnant, are you?" Popee asked, a bit concerned. You giggled and lifted your head from his shoulder. "Haha no, I eat birth control pills so you don't have to worry" you replied. "Although, I wouldn't say no to having a baby with you" you said while smirking. "We're 17, y/n" Popee said with a serious tone of voice. "I'm just joking, relax!" you laughed. Popee grinned.

You then let go of him. "I'm gonna go check on your dad" you said and Popee nodded. Papi was stuffing everyone's bags in the truck and you snuck up behind him. You tapped on his shoulder so he would turn around. He turned around but he wasn't very happy with you in his presence. He didn't smile or greet you, instead he put his hand on his hip and looked you up and down with his eyebrow raised. You sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry for making you mad. I didn't know your son liked me that much, and-" you began explaining, but Papi cut you off. "Do you like my son?" he asked. You admitted that you have had a crush on him for a while now. But Papi didn't seem very proud to hear that.

"I just can't control myself, I like him and I can't help it!" you defended yourself. You tried your best to explain everything that had happened and exactly how you and Popee felt. Papi seemed to have calmed down and understood more.

"Y/n, I'm sorry for reacting so immature towards your relationship with Popee. You guys are teenagers in love and I just need some time to think about this. Popee has never been together with anyone before so I'm not really used to him dating girls or anything like that. You know I was a teenager once too, and I know what it's like to fall in love. Especially a forbidden love. So from now on I'm just gonna have to respect your relationship and I promise I won't be in the way." It made you feel relieved that Papi understood what you're going through.

"But only on one condition," he continued. "Oh no, this can't be good..." you thought and looked at Papi, preparing for the worst.

"During this trip there will be no kissing, no snuggling, no touching, and most importantly: no fornicating!" He was very serious. You thought about it, but after a few seconds, you nodded in agreement and decided to respect his boundaries.

Everyone had gone into the truck and was ready to leave. Papi was driving and you sat in the passenger seat. Popee and Kedamono sat in the backseat chit chatting a bit.

You were looking out the window, watching how the desert sand turned into concrete when you drove by. Suddenly Papi asked you what music you listen to.

"Oh uh, i listen to a little bit of everything i guess." you said.

"Can you name any favorites?" he wondered while looking at the road.

"Uhm..maybe Lady Marmalade?" you sounded unsure.

"I assume you mean the one with Christina Aguilera?" he asked happily, as if he was proud that you mentioned that song.

"Yes!" you replied.

"Well, put it on!" he said, smiling. You chuckled and put it on. Papi immediately started singing along loudly and danced in his seat. You laughed and sang a bit too. Kedamono didn't know the lyrics but tried to sing along anyways. Popee sat with his arms crossed and got embarrassed of Papi. He refused to sing along, but his hands snuck behind you and massaged your shoulders. He moved down to caress your right arm and held your hand.

After several hours, you had reached the Californian coast and headed to the beach. The sun was up and the streets filled with people everywhere. Most of the beaches were filled with red sunburnt tourists and crying children with icecreams, and you guys tried to find the most isolated and quiet beach. You kept on looking and eventually, you found the perfect beach. It was hidden behind a big forest, with pearl white sand and emerald green ocean. And hardly anybody there. Papi parked the truck in a parking lot located about a hundred meters away from the beach while you, Popee and Kedamono were setting up tents to sleep in.

Everyone went to soak themselves in the clear ocean, but Papi stayed at the beach getting a tan in the sun. Popee ripped his shirt off as he ran towards the sea. He jumped into the water and splashed water on Kedamono, like a little kid. They laughed and it looked like they were having lots of fun, so you quickly undressed and ran into the water with them. You guys splashed water on each other and then Popee dived underwater and lifted you up from his shoulders.

"Woah!" you shouted as his hands were on your thighs to hold you up. You felt butterflies grow in your stomach when he touched you, you blushed and ruffled his bangs. Kedamono kicked water on you and Popee until he lifted you down slowly and his head peeked up from the surface.

It was evening and the sun was starting to set. Popee grilled some sausages and chicken drumsticks and you had set up a campfire. Papi lit a cigarette while waiting for the food. He took a smoke and formed smoke rings, then another smoke and breathed it out and quickly into his mouth again.

Popee was done making the food and handed Papi a plate with sausages.

"Thank you, son" Papi said and grabbed the plate while breathing out smoke and onto the sausages. Popee handed Kedamono his drumsticks and gave you some sausages too. You took a bite from the food and as always, the food was fantastic. The flavor was spicy and a bit creamy. They looked very delicious too. Though, when you looked at them for a while, they kinda reminded you of Popee's dick. And it only made you hungrier. You closed your eyes and slowly took another bite, thinking about his moans and whimpering. You accidently let out a "mmh" and everyone looked at you weirdly. You didn't know what to say and Popee knew what you were thinking of when you ate the food, but he covered for you.

"They taste good, don't they?" he asked, smirking. You nodded and smiled awkwardly while blushing dark red. He giggled and continued to grill some sausages for himself. Papi chewed his food and took a smoke once again, and Kedamono happily gulfed his drumsticks. Popee sat down next to you and ate his food quietly in peace.
