How To Stay Afloat (BxB)

Chapter 29: time for truth

On our way home I sit in the back of the car next to Carla and Caleb. The two extra seats in the back remain empty. Kevin doesn't seem too disappointed to sit in the front since the taxi driver is really chatty and tells Kevin facts about the city.

I get the chance to spend twenty minutes on coming up with a nice apology message to Austin.

I type, delete, type, delete and after fifteen minutes I end up with the one sensible text I could text him right now: "Hey, can I call you in 10 minutes?"

Austin sees the message, but when we arrive home he still hasn't replied anything.

I give up staring at my screen and just put my phone in my pocket instead. Caleb and Carla both have already fallen asleep when we halt in front of our house.

I pay for the taxi ride and we all walk inside. I go straight to the upstairs bathroom before anyone else can claim it.

I turn on the water in the shower and wait for it to get warm. I'm freezing and really can't wait for a hot shower. As I'm in the shower I wonder what Austin would look like naked and wet in the shower with me.

My mind instantly wanders to what we did in that bedroom only an hour ago. It felt so good and Austin's face looked so hot and the sounds he made when he came.

Just thinking about it makes me so horny. My hand slips down to my already hard dick and I start stroking myself.

Bing. A notification on my phone. Austin. It must be Austin.

I quickly get out of the shower to check my phone. Harry. He sent a picture of him on a couch in the group chat. I sigh loudly and decide to just try to contact Austin when I wake up. He's probably already asleep.

I get into sweatpants, a long armed shirt and fluffy socks. Yes, I love fluffy socks. I have two pairs of them, but one is already falling apart.

I feel sick to my stomach from all the alcohol. Sobering up is the worst feeling ever.

It takes me about twenty minutes to get ready for bed. When I'm finished I walk downstairs and find Kevin and Caleb cleaning up. All the alcohol bottles are gone and all the waste is also cleaned up. The furniture is moved back into place and all my presents are on the couch table. It even smells nice and fresh.

"Oh wow, did you clean everything up in the last twenty minutes?" I ask them surprised.

They both flash me a smile. "Yeah I'm also surprised at how fast we were." Caleb says proudly.

"We don't know when mom and dad will come home, so it was the best idea to do that right away." Caleb explains.

"Thanks. You're the best." I tell them. I'd love to sound excited and grateful, but I'm just so exhausted.

Kevin claps his hands. "Alrighty, I guess I'm also gonna get ready for bed then." He announces and goes upstairs.

"A towel for you is in the bathroom." I say and then yawn. "I guess I'll go to sleep now."

"I'm just gonna bring the remaining bottles to my car and then I'll also get ready for bed, too." Caleb announces. I can hear a shower, so I suspect Carla's in there.

I ask him if he needs help with it.

"No, maybe try to fix things with Austin instead." He suggests.

"Whatever." I say and go upstairs.

I sit down on my bed and decide to call Austin. I already expect him to decline and send a message saying. "Stop calling me. It's annoying."

"Hey." Austin answers with his softest voice. He picked up?
