The Band Member's Guide for Dealing with Dramatic Relationships

Even the Sun Sets on a Misty Morning

LUCAS HAYNES COBURN

As soon as Ebony's pickup is far from the drive, I go back up to the house. I decide to wait for Skylar to get back from his party so I could say bye for Ebony. Skylar is Ebony's twin brother, and I'm not saying I'm gay, 'cause I'm not, but Skylar is fine. He's a foot taller than Ebony and has gorgeous bright blue eyes but with Ebony's platinum blonde hair and similar personality.

I'd been sitting on the porch steps for five minutes when Skylar's silver Dodge Charger pulls up next to my Mustang. He gets out of the drivers' side and a girl gets out of the passengers' side door. For some reason I feel discouraged. But I stand up when Skylar walks toward me with the girl hanging off his arm. He looks like he just missed his own party.

"Hey, Skylar. Ebony just left, she wanted me to say bye for her."

"You mean she already left! Damn, we should've waited for her. Anyway, thanks Lucas," Skylar says, looking at the girl, who waves at me and winks. She imediately whispers something very angrily at him. "Fine. I guess we can stop at Sage's tonight."

"Yeah, bye Skylar," I say then walk down to my Mustang and pull out of the drive. I go back to my house where I play an old Fallout game on my Xbox for an hour or two.

I finally decide to take a shower and go to bed. I think I fall asleep, but before I know what's happening, I hear a knock at my window. Ebony's makeup is messier than it was before but she's waving at me to come outside. I signal that I will be right back. I put on a shirt and sneak through the house to the front door where I meet her.

"Nice boxers," she gets up right in my space and flicks the waistband. "You almost couldn't wear less, and I wish you were." She smiles and blinks slowly.

My face is cracked by a wide smile. "Why are you here?"

"I just wanted to see you before we left. Why? Sad to see me?" she pouts, hand brushing my dick and getting me semi-hard.

She's getting me horny on purpose. "Wasn't it supposed to be ten days? I must've dreamed it."

"Was it a happy dream or a something little more," she blinks again, and, somehow, her black eyes are darker than before. "Lust ridden?"

"Mostly the second," I say.

"How did it go, maybe we could try it later."

"Well, it started something like," I pin her against the wall by her wrists and kiss her neck where there was a hickey left from before.

"Oh, really? Then what?" she giggles, straining weakly against my hands.

I shove my knee in between her thighs, spreading her legs, and kissing her lips. She moans, now I'm really hard.

"Then what happened?" says a different voice. Sage. Both Ebony I turn to see Sage and Quinn sitting on Ebony's hood. I drop Ebony's wrists.

"Sage?" I say. Quinn's actually eating popcorn.

"No, really, continue, it was just getting good," Sage says to Ebony, straight-faced. "I love being left in a truck bed; plus, free porn!

"You know, I felt the car stop, then, for some strange reason, a moan or two brought me to wake up Quinn here. Though I do see you at least bought our stuff first," she gestured with her cup. "Thanks for that, we really appreciate it. Especially the part where you leave us to go fuck your boyfriend here. Hi, Luca," she sipped her drink.

"Hey, uh, I know that like, I'm the reason you're pissed at Ebony but I'm standing here my boxers and my dick's just like, out there, so can I get some shorts if you're going to stay?" I say. Quinn looks at me and winks.
