A Summer Storm

Chapter 4

Last night Haley and Austin left an hour before Garrison; and he and I spent that last hour alone together with my babies since mom went to the airport to pick up auntie and her family. He even helped me put Aspen and January to bed shortly after Haley, Austin and mom left.

Honestly it was really nice but very weird having help while putting them to sleep. Mom helps when the two of them are having a rough night but I don't her to help usually since she already had done that when I was a baby and alone, I might add; my dad has never been around, even when I was an infant.

-Flashback to last night after putting the twins in their cribs -

"Okay, so I would like to play a game: 20 questions but more than twenty," Garrison said as we sat on my bed, leaning against the headboard.

Nodding, I smile as I lean against the headboard and cross my legs at the ankles, "Okay, you go first."

He smiles as he settles himself in a similar position as myself. "Favorite color and why?"

Grinning as I pick at a loose string on my sweatshirt, I glance up at him, "Neon blue because I love when water is that color. What's yours and why?"

"Dark blue because it's the color of your eyes," was his answer causing me to blush.

"Your blush is cute," Garrison says, his voice seems deeper than normal. "What would you have named your sons if they were daughters?"

"Um, I think if they would have been girls instead, they would have Ashling and Janell."

"Do you want any kids in the future?" I ask slightly embarressed. I just hope he doesn't think that I'm propositioning him since I'm able to have babies.

"Yeah, I love kids and want children of my own some day, perhaps a few years from now when I've graduated high school and college."

Smiling at him as I nod slightly, excited for his answer, not that I took it as he was wanting them with me but that he does and if we do by chance work out then maybe one day in the future we will.

"Do you want more babies in the future, if so when?" Garrison turns slightly to look at me better.

Shrugging my shoulders at him, I think hard about my answer wanting to phrase it correctly. "Yes I do, I don't want my babies growing up just the two of them. I want a big family, and I mean big; I want at least five maybe six children all close in age. Um, I really wouldn't mind my next baby to be a minimum of 2 years younger than Aspen and January."

Looking down at the hem of my shirt as I pick at the hem in embarressment. He's going to just stay friends with me now, minimum of 2 years younger? Oh, shit, he's going to think I'm a freak.

Garrison smirks at me as he settles his hand over the top of mine to stop my fidgeting. "Hey, no need to be embarressed, I like that you know what you want at 17 years old."

He tilts my head up so we're looking eye to eye and he's smiling to brightly, that it causes me to smile at him. "Hell, I'm 18 years old and I'm starting to try and even figure out what I want out of life."

I nod in understanding and he gives me a smirk. "Okay, my turn again. So are you guy or bisexual and when did you realize and come out?"

Smirking at his question because obviously I'm not a straight man. "I'm all the way gay, I knew when I was about 13 years and came out shortly afterwards," I say with a smirk at my little rhyme.

Garrison chuckles at me as he rubs his thumb over my knuckles gentley. "What about your sexuality, come out and when did you know?" I ask turning my hand over to hold his in mine softly.

"I'm also gay, I came out when I was 16 years old and I knew when I was 14 years old."

We spent the rest of the time he was at the house asking questions back and forth until he had to head back to his home. Surprisingly Garrison only lives three blocks north of me and neither of us knew.

When Garrison was at the front door telling me goodnight, he gently takes ahold of my right hand in his. "I had a great time, thansk Oakley."

Smiling down at our conjoined hands before turning my attention back to him. "So did I and I hope we can do this again sometime."

"Mind if I come over again Friday night?" he aks with a smirk.

Unable to contain my giggle, it seems my head has a mind of it's own as it nods up and down. "Of course, what time would you like to come over, I'll be home all day since I don't work again until Sunday night?"

Garrison's smirk becomes bigger and surprises me when he gentley brushes his fingers of his free hand across my cheek. "Can I come over around 11 in the morning again?"

Nodding eagerly, I tell him, "Of course you can, knock loudly, I'll probably be in the kitchen feeding the twins at that time."

Garrison's smirk becomes bigger and surprises me when he gentley brushes his fingers of his free hand across my cheek. "Can I come over around 11 in the morning again?"

Nodding eagerly, I tell him, "Of course you can, knock loudly, I'll probably be in the kitchen feeding the twins at that time."

"Then I'll come before 11 in the morning then and help you feed them sweet, adorable little boy's." Before I could even protest his help he stops me with a look and continues with a puppy dog eyes, "I want to help, please let me?"

How can I say no to his puppy dog eyes and pout. "I would love your help, Garrison. Thank you really, I appreciate you're offer and the help you've given me tonight with my handsome little men."

Garrison takes me by surprise again when he leans over and hugs me tightly to him making me melt against his heat again. "Have a wonderful night, Oakley, sweet dreams and I can't wait to see you again Friday morning," he whispers into my ear, his warm breath causing me to shiver in pleasure.

"Goodnight Garrison, sweet dreams and I can't wait either for Friday," I whisper back trying to keep the moan in check that wants to escape at the shiver and sexiness of his voice.

"I really would like to kiss you but I don't want to make things weird," Garrison whispers in my ear since we're still hugging.

Shivering outright, I let a little moan slip out as my desire builds. "Nobody is stopping you," I whisper back as I pull back slightly to look him in the eyes.

Garrison smirks, lowering his head at an angle and gently brushes his lips against mine, ghost like. When he does this I lean into him and press my lips into his soft, plump ones and love the feeling of butterflies that erupt in my tummy. Wrapping my hand around the back of neck as he pulls me closer with his free hand as he deepends the kiss.

Pulling apart we we need to refill our lungs, both of us are smiling brightly. "That was great," I tell him giggling as more of the happy butterflies erupting in my tummy.

Garrison chuckles as he brushes my cheek gently. "I agree, will have to do that again soon. I really do need to go home now, have a nice night, Oakley, I'll text you tomorrow."

After bidding him goodnight again, I shut and lock the door behind him knowing that when mom and the rest of the family arrive home, mom will unlock the door if I'm not close.
