Amnesiac

Forty Third

"Don't you want to come in and say hi to Colleen and... you know, to mom," Karlos says, scratching his nape when he said the word mom, whereas I smile. "I'm sure they'd be glad to see you."

This was his trap. I try telling this to myself for a lot of times, so I won't give in. Going to his house to drop him off without going out of the car was hard enough. Him trying to convince me to at least go inside, say hi to his mom and sister was close to being impossible without me staying the night in here.

"If I get in your house, it would be a little hard to get out and go home." I told him. "And come on, your mom and sister loves to have me there. I'm there almost everyday before our set up."

He chuckles lightly. "I was actually planning to lure you in and have you to stay in," he says, "Please? Just five minutes."

"Your five minutes means a day," I laughed at him and he pouts slightly. "Don't pout love, it gets a little harder to resist." He obeys though, but there was still pleading in his pretty brown eyes. "Maybe you should just say hi to Colleen and Marj for me."

"Won't there be any other way for me to persuade you to get in the house?" he asks.

"Karlos, we had this little agreement of being into separate and respective houses every weekdays. Do your share and don't tempt me." my hand was literally covered by his massive ones as he tried to pull me out of the car. But no matter how tempting staying in his house sounds, I have to stand my ground. I don't want to have to walk around school tomorrow with the same undies because I didn't sleep in my house.

"Fine," he finally gives up, which will totally saves the two of us time. "You're mine on Fridays, right?"

"Liz can't do a thing about it, I promise." I smiled, squeezing his hand. "Come on, get out of my car. It gets a little hard to set you loose the longer you stay here."

He sighs then leans in closer, pecking me on the lips a little quickly. He smiles when he saw how much his kiss took me by surprise. "See you in school tomorrow," he says then unbuckles himself before getting out of my car. Before he can even slam the door, I stopped him.

"I will really see you tomorrow because we had an unfinished business." I smirked, "See you tomorrow, Karlos," I winked at him and he frowns before closing the door shut but the way his eyes lit up was undeniably visible.

I waited until Colleen ran out of the house and went to her brother. She saw me and gave me a small wave, disappointed that I won't be spending the night with them. They were all used with my staying there, including Marj. They sometimes would think of ideas to keep me from going, which was weird because Marj was Karlos' mom and she should be against the idea of me staying over their house. She should loathe the idea, because for the most part and to top it all off, I sleep in Karlos's room and share the bed with him (half the time we don't do "things", and most of the times, we get it on).

The two of them went inside the house and I took that as a cue to speed up, before my wanting of getting there kicks in again. It gets harder to get away from their house and I usually find myself praying to have the weekends to come by more frequent. No, not to get rid of school or homework, but because that was the time I will stay there until Sunday afternoons.

The sight of my house was visible and I was pulling by the curb the next second. I locked the car before getting into the house and having to spend time with Liz. But when I opened the door, Liz was lying on the sofa. Alive, thankfully.

"Who are you and why are you in my house?" she playfully asks and I roll my eyes at her. "You know, it's still hard to be used to the fact that I won't have the house by myself with your set up with Karlos."
