Children of the Sun

I. family

It was suppose to be a family trip out of town, he suggested to tag along just to get a quick breeze out with my folks. I on the other hand thought it would be a great way for the Palmer family to catch up with the guy I've called my lover throughout highschool, and future baby father.

We sat outside at the age old picnic table that accompanied many birthday parties and cook outs throughout the years. Our hands clasped together as we shared mindless conversations about absolutely nothing and laughed at each other with every word. The late spring air was becoming humid and mimicking the hot summery feel most have been longing for this year.

"Come on Natalie!" My aunt Denise called as she waved her hand from outside her burgundy Toyota mini van. I was still a completely unsure on where exactly we were going but didn't bother to question her, my aunt hated being questioned. Vic held on tightly to my hand as we walked side by side to the van, until arriving at the door. "You guys might have to lap it out back there, not much room." She then advised, as I stared at the one empty seat beside the food in the far back of the van.

I took one glance back at Vic to see a smirk covering his tan skin as he looked back at me. I knew all that was probably going through his perverted mind was me sitting on him for the entire car ride. I sighed as he made his way onto the last empty seat before helping me onto his lap. He then wrapped his arms around my waist, as he pulled me closer, the faint smell of his usual cigar rcologne lingered into my nostrils. No matter how much I wished he would quit, the smell became all too comforting as I grew use to the tobacco smell. "Don't worry, I got you." He assured me, using his calming tone I never fell tired of.

The entire car ride seemed peaceful with the melody of Bob Marley's Legend album playing freely in the background, and estatic smiles covered everyone's faces. Being that we where the only ones in the far back, I got the idea of moving the grocery bags of food onto the floor of the van, giving us more room to play. Vic then turned to put his legs on the empty seat as I continued to lean on him, he even took advantage to shower me with his sweet kisses.

"You smell like straight shag." I whispered into his ear as he pulled me even closer, breathing his minty breath down my neck. Even though it didn't at all mask the already present cigarette aroma. There also was a slight hint of Nigerian cooking mixed in. Know matter how much he seemed to puff his heritage scent never seemed to fade.

"You're beautiful." He smirked, kissing my forehead as he gazed into my into my eyes, with his breathtaking smile. I couldn't help but take the moment to slowly observe his perfect features. In addition to his smile, his deep brown eyes never failed to make me melt, and weak in the knees. His touch was electric, and I could never have enough of those delicate lips wherever he decided to place them on me.

Just to lay and think that this was the same guy that at one point I had never thought would notice me. The boy that I would stare at in biology class like a creep from the opposite end of the room. The one I always saw flexing on Instagram with a cancer stick in his mouth, surrounded by many of his friends including my cousin. For him to now be all mine... It just seemed as if this were a dream.

"And I'm glad to be with you." He added, followed by another kiss. My cheeks grew slightly warm as he continued to trail down my collar with slight pecks before stopping to slightly nibble at my neck softly. I tried my best to contain the moan dying to escape my lips as he continued to mess with me as he always did, even if that ment in the back of my aunts mini van on family trip. A vibration from the front pocket of his light wash jeans as he stopped to look at me.

"You're such a tease." I mumbled, as I moved a loose curl from my face. His only response was a snicker as he nodded his head. I rolled my eyes, sucking my teeth as I moved off of him to the other side of the seat, pushing his legs down lightly as I plopped parallel to him.
