"It's only us!" John and Georgia walk into his house hand-in-hand. The whole drive here Gigi sat with her hand in his lap, both of them are high on life, giggling at anything and everything, overjoyed to be back together. The car is filled with their voices as they catch up on their missing months; Georgia tells John how she's aced her first year in uni and how much she loves the theatre society. John tells her that the reserve team have had a great season, making the playoff semi-finals, and he's excited to see what next season will bring. When he returns for pre-season, he's going to be with the first team, it's the opportunity he's been waiting for.
"This is a nice surprise!" John's mother gets up from her seat on the sofa to greet him, whilst his father and Jenny exchange confused glances. Jenny knows that after weeks of Scott cancelling his plans with Georgi to hang out with his mates, and him essentially making her feel like she was an inconvenience, Georgia had given him the push, but Jenny had no idea that she had gone to see John today.
"Have you eaten? Do you need some dinner?" Janet can't help but fuss; she studies John's face carefully trying to see if he's been eating properly and how healthy his skin looks.
"We're fine," John smiles. "We're just gonna go upstairs, is it okay if Gigi stays over?"
"Course, it is," Janet smiles fondly at the pair of them. No-one in the room can ever remember an occasion where someone has asked if Georgia can sleep over; she was always just here crashed out with Jenny in her bed. In more recent years, she'd start the night in Jenny's room before sneaking off to John's, and everyone would turn a blind eye to it.
Upstairs, John pulls open several empty drawers before he finds the small amount of clothes he left here, stuff that doesn't even really fit anymore and he isn't even sure why he's kept it. He hands Georgia a t-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts, expecting her to go to the bathroom to change, like she always does, but instead she strips off in front of him, removing everything, including her underwear. Again, he feels awkward, casting his eyes anywhere that isn't her body.
"You're allowed to look," the corners of her lips turn up in amusement and he focuses on her face rather than her bare breasts as she pulls his t-shirt down over them. "Why are you being so shy?" She moves closer to him and places her hands on his hips.
"I'm not," he's just being himself; she's the one who is different. "So, what do you wanna do?" Jenny's put the Wii in her room so if she wants to play Mario Kart they're going to have to go through there.
Her answer is a kiss. In no time at all they are lying on his bed, face-to-face, their kisses getting deeper all the time. This feels more familiar to John than what transpired earlier, their hands are wandering, Gigi grinding against his crotch, with their clothes the only barrier.
John glances towards the wall that separates his bedroom from his parents when Georgia starts pulling at his jeans again, "We can't!" They've only ever done it in an empty house before, both paranoid about someone catching them, because no-one in this house has any concept of privacy. "I'd die if anyone walked in," he tells her.
Georgia's not the biggest fan of that idea herself. "Okay, let's do something else," she rolls back onto her back. "I can give you a blow job if you want."
John almost chokes on his own saliva, she's never offered him that before, and he's never asked, because he wouldn't want her to do something she wasn't comfortable with. Three months ago, he'd have jumped at this offer, but now, now he knows who taught her all these new 'tricks', it doesn't seem so appealing.
He laughs off her offer, doing a decent job of hiding how uncomfortable it made him, "I'd die twice if they walked in on you doing that." He strokes her hair. "Just relax, okay?! You don't have to try and impress me." He wants to go back to how they were before, just two kids fumbling around.
