Chemistry Of Lust

CHAPTER 37

"Okay fine. He and I have done things but not as far as you think. Whenever we decide to do it, I will tell you and I promise I will be careful. I am already on birth control as the doctor insisted that I should have them. So, you have nothing to worry about," I say and close my eyes waiting for an angry outburst.

Few moments pass by and when there's no screaming and calling me by my full name, I open one eye and peak at my mom who looks surprisingly calm. Clear. I open my eyes and she finally speaks, "I trust you, baby. I just get worried sometimes. I forget that you're not so little anymore. You're gonna be 18 in a few days and soon you'll leave us too." She caresses my face and kisses my forehead.

Wow, she's kinda right. "Mom, I won't leave you. I will just live a little hundreds of miles away but my heart's with you all always. You just won't need to handle all this sass. I can say it's a win-win for you, mom," I say and we both burst out laughing and hug each other.

Just then Derek calls us for the breakfast, "Ladies, here are your nutella covered pancakes. Now get here before we, men, devour them."

I and mom smile at each other before we run up to take our most favorite pancakes. I take one bite and almost scream, 'I fucking love you, Derek' but I don't want us to get killed.

"Derek, I think I might miss your cooking more than you. No offense," I say as we all finish our food.

He looks at me with a pout on his face, "Well, none taken, Charlotte." H e rolls his eyes before teasing me by lolling his tongues at me.

 I jump onto him from behind him, "Drama Queen." He gets up with me hanging on his shoulders.

To keep myself from falling I wrap my legs around his waist. I playfully pull on his hair and he moves us to living room just as my parents laugh at us from the kitchen, "Both of you, don't hurt yourselves."

"We won't, mom," I say and start tugging on his hair once again.

"You like that, don't you? Ollie enjoyed that too, last night," He says as a loud laugh fills the room followed by a groan as I tugged harder.

"Fuck you," I say not loud enough for my parents to hear. He laughs again and moves us backward towards the couch and falls onto it in the same position so his weight is completely on me.

I scream with pain as he's too heavy. "DEREK," I scream trying to push him off but failing miserably.

He turns over and start tickling me making me laugh till tears start flowing out of my eyes and my stomach hurts due to laughing. Just as he stops tickling me, Edward and Ollie enter together through the front door.

Edward doesn't say anything but just stares at Derek like he will cut off his hands and maybe his balls if he doesn't get up in the next millisecond. Derek gets what Edward means without even hearing him say it.

"You look cute, Ollie," I say as she walks over to me before Edward can fire his jealous questions at me.

"It's the last night's cardio, babes," she says as she hugs me and I groan and hit her back playfully.

"Well, I am happy for you both. I know it's gonna be hard with the long distance thing but you will work it out I know," I say as I look at her trying to figure out what she is thinking. I can't really decipher what she's thinking but I know she's sad.

"I know but you know how much I crave physical intimacy. It's my way of ensuring that we're fine. I don't know how I will deal with that," she says as we walk over to the couch to sit. She's almost crying.

"Oh Ollie, I know it will be difficult for you but you guys can visit each other. At one holiday, he will be here and the next you can go. You will become stronger as a couple like this, I am sure," I reassure her as Derek sits in between us pushing me aside.
