Whatever Occurs: Life, Love, and Loss

You are My World

When you and the rest of the family with you get off the plane, you tell everyone goodnight and goodbye before heading home with Ethon. You are tired as all get out, so you don't bother to unpack for a few days.

You both manage to evade the traffic before three in the morning. You rest your eyes while Ethon curses and weaves through Interstate 5, all the way to your house. You don't bother to try to sleep before you get home, but you end up doing so. You wake up when Ethon parks the car in the garage.

You carry your backpack and your suitcase out of the car, into the living room, up the stairs, and in your bedroom. You undress for bed when Ethon comes in and sets his stuff down.

He widens his eyes when he sees you in your Calvin Klein bra and panties. He tells you to turn around. You turn around, and he is blown away by the way he sees your butt cheeks move as you walk toward the bed to lay down. Ethon gets onto the bed with you.

You get on top of him, then you say, "I'm on top of the world right now."

"You're on top of me," Ethon replies.

"I know. You are my world."

He smiles. He works his fingers in your underwear and pulls them up like thongs. You try not to laugh as he massages your butt. You feel his face being buried into your cleavage.

"It's a good thing you want to play with my arse, because I have no arse," you joke, "I can't wait to walk around the house in this and tell you no when you ask to feel me up."

Ethon laughs. He pulls your panties farther up when he goes down to your waist. He kisses your neck after he takes his head out of your cleavage. He gets into his normal sleeping position when you get off of him. You try to sleep in until noon, since you have the day off.

While you and Ethon have your eyes shut, you still chatter away, exchanging thoughts like you're performing in a jazz concert. Then, you bounce thoughts back and forth like you're in a tennis match.

"Kayla, tell me about your favorite memory with Spencer."

"My favorite memory with him was while he was skateboarding once, and as he went down the stairway, he jumped off the skateboard as soon as he saw a bus coming by."

"Oh yeah, that thing was destroyed afterwards. But Spencer really scared the shit out of me when that happened!"

"What's your favorite memory with Spencer?"

"It was when he tried to cover for Malyssa so you couldn't make her sing in front of my parents when they came to visit from Ireland one year. He wanted to take her place, in case his plan to act like she was sick backfired. But it did backfire."

"See, that incident is very similar to what happened on the plane!"

"Oh damn, that's right!"

"She shut her mouth when she saw me staring at her. I think a lot of us are the same way."

"Well, Malyssa is another one of those introverts who loves to perform. But when she's off the stage, her self-confidence when it comes to performing in front of other people is just a big weenie to her."

"She doesn't put Braylee and Tessa on the spot like I did with her."

"Duh, because she considers their feelings, since you didn't consider hers when you'd make her perform."

After many off topic conversations, you and Ethon finally begin to fall asleep. At two thirty in the morning when you're in REM sleep, Spencer, Leesa, and your parents all show up in a dream.
