We're Still Human

Chapter 20: Alone Again

Another weekend in the Riddick Household feels like heaven with my beautiful girlfriend. I cannot begin to tell you how amazing it feels to wake up next to the woman you love; it's everything and more. Kendall's soft little snores give me fuel to get on with the day, and more importantly, it reminds me of the privilege of being her girlfriend, and the happiness that I'm forever indebted to by her.

She gently stirs in her sleep, drool running down her face. I kiss the bridge of her nose, before getting up to change into a more comfortable shirt. Turns out sleeping in your girlfriend's slightly tinier clothes isn't always going to do much good to your body. I take off the blue shirt, and look for my oversized gray one in my suitcase.

"You're gorgeous, by the way," Kennie mumbles. "Although I like you in my clothes."

I laugh, "Had enough shut eye from yesterday?"

She yawns, sitting up. "I mean, I think you had more than enough pineapple juice. I don't get how that p—"

"New day, new topics to talk about," I interrupt her. "By the way, your tongue work is phenomenal."

"As is yours, my lady," she compliments me, getting out of bed. She walks over to me, putting the gray shirt that's in my hands down, and gently pushing me against the wall, her hands tracing my waist slowly. "May I?"

"Is that even a question?" I switch our positions, now she's the one that has her back against the door. I tug st the hem of her shirt as she kisses my neck softly, and she takes it off, her bare body now marveling my eyes. "You're...wow."

Kendall laughs, her hand reaching into my panties as she grips my ass tightly. "You're so majestic."

"So are you," I mumble quickly, my lips now pressed against hers.

My phone rings just as soon as we get anywhere, and I groan, pulling away from my girlfriend. She smiles at me then goes to get my phone, her smile dropping once she reads it.

"Your mom," Kendall says. "It's...your mom. She wants to meet you and talk."

My heart begins to pound out of my chest faster than I can imagine. Kennie instantly comes to me, hugging me as I begin to shiver. This is the first time she's going to talk to me in weeks.

"I have to get my clothes, I...fuck, Kennie what does this mean?"

"It means she's trying to hear you out, Yasmina. Come on, let's go and see her!" She squeals, pulling me onto her bed again.

Kait asked Kendall not to come, alluding to her and I having some alone time. Kennie didn't complain much, because Kait and I haven't really bonded, and now that she has a few weeks left to go before university. I don't mind though, I never really knew what was on her mind in the time I've known her, but now, I guess we can actually bond.

Kaitlyn parks the car, looking at me in the passenger seat. "Ready?"

"Not even a little bit," I say, and she chuckles lightly. "I'm nervous."

"Look, if you want someone to go out with you, I can," Kait suggests. "There's no reason you have to face her by yourself."

I nod. "I didn't think you'd be this supportive."

Kait chuckles. "Yasmina, what? I've always been supportive of you two, you know that."

"Can I be honest for one second?"

"Shoot," Kait says, resting her hands on the steering wheel.

"I thought you wouldn't like me at all for your sister," I admit. "You know, it's like ever since I started staying with you guys, it's been a rough phase for you and I, which made me wonder if you even actually see me as a right fit for your sister."
