AURORA

When the next day came, I had made sure I had gotten everything done around the house before making my way over to Willow's school for the mother/daughter event.

I never had a chance to have one of these moments when I went to school since my mother died when I was too young to remember her. Not that we had these kind of things when I went to school, but still.

After walking to the huge grassy area that's near the playground at the school, where everyone was already standing around at, I suddenly began to feel a bit nervous as I wasn't sure what they would think of me because I'm not her real mother or stepmother even, but her nanny.

It isn't that I'm embarrassed or that she is even but still, I just hope things don't get too awkward or weird.

When I approach everyone, I see her teacher walk up to me and hold out her hand as she introduced herself.

She was average height, mid-forties, long brown hair with low lights and was tanned really nicely. I was jealous.

"Hi, you must be Aurora." She smiles warmly at me.

"Yes." I reply with a smile and relieved.

"Welcome. We've heard so much about you." She smiles.

"Hopefully good." I laugh a little to myself.

"Of course." The lady smiled in return.

I am introduced to everyone and find out that there are step moms and one person brought her older sister who has helped raise her. So I definitely no longer feel out of place.

Throughout the entire day, we played some fun games, bounced in a bounce house and even had gotten our faces painted.

We all seemed to be having a great time especially Willow.

When it was all over, her and I headed home in the car Zane let us borrow.

Once we got home and walked inside, we saw a bunch of the guys, including Colt, Jezebel and Zane, standing around, talking and then becoming silent looking at us as soon as we walked in.

"Hey guys!" Jezebel excitedly says as she comes up to us fast and hugs us.

"Hey." I reply while hugging her. "When did you get in?"

"Just an hour ago." She says before picking up Willow and hugging her.

"I missed you!" Willow shouts in excitement at her.

"What's going on?" I ask worried.

Everyone starts to leave both out back and in front.

"Well...." Jezebel says while glancing back real quick at Zane and Colt then back at me.
"Zane told us that you guys were dating and I was thinking that maybe we could all go out and celebrate the good news." She smiles.

I have a feeling that something else is up that she isn't telling me.

"What's with everyone here then? Are they going out with us too?" I asked.

"No. We just got done with a meeting." She explains.

Still, something doesn't seem right but for now, I guess I will just leave it alone.

"Well what about Willow? Who's gonna watch her?" I ask.

"One of the guys said he would." Zane says as he smiles at me and wraps an arm around my waist and pulls me close to him and kisses me.

We spend the next few hours with Willow before she goes to sleep and we get ready and leave to a club.

When we get there, the DJ happens to be playing one of my favorite songs so we all go out on the dance floor to start having some fun.

The DJ was on a roll as he kept playing one after the other great songs. Then it starts to become really hot and we head over towards the bar to have a drink.

After ordering our drinks, Colt announces something to both Zane and I.

"I know you guys already know this but we wanted to tell you anyways. Jezebel and I are mat-dating." He says.

Zane and I look at one another and then look over at them again before laughing.

"I told you." Jezebel says as she hits Colt in the chest.

We get our drinks and then make a toast to both of our relationships then continue having fun until both Zane and I want to leave. However, we leave Colt and Jezebel behind since they wanted to stay out a little more.

After we return home and quietly get back into the house, we first check in on Willow and see she's still fast asleep before heading into Zane's bedroom.

Once he shuts the door behind him, I turn around and kiss him.

He kisses me back as we start backing up and he lays on top of me on the bed and I start to rub his bulge.

We both continue kissing each other, moaning in one another's mouths while I begin feeling his hand up my skirt but stops right away.

"What's wrong?" I ask as he stands up and adjusts himself while I sit up.

"We shouldn't do this tonight." He says.

"Why not?" I ask.

"Because it isn't right." He says.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"We should wait until you're sober." He suggests.

"I'm not drunk though. I want this. Don't you?" I ask him.

"Yeah but, it feels wrong not doing it when neither of us is sober." He says.

"I'm a little buzzed but that's not the same as being drunk." I smile at him while standing up and holding his face.

He grabs my wrists gently and removes them from his face.

"I'd rather wait until you're sober." He says.

I feel heartbroken and rejected. The typical cliche type excuse. So I rip my wrists from his grip.

"Please. Save me the bullshit excuses." I say while heading towards the door.

"I'm not rejecting you." He says.

"Look! It's one thing that you don't want to cause of Willow. I don't even care if you were to tell me that it's because of the way I look or that you couldn't 'perform' or whatever. But don't you dare say it because I'm not sober when I am. Just admit you don't want me that way. At least it'd be the truth." I tell him before opening the door and heading out downstairs to my bedroom where I plop onto my bed and start to cry without even changing into my PJ's.
