The Falling virgin

f o r t y: bloody hell

three days later

I was putting the last things in my luggage and the doorbell rang. There was knock on my door. "Alli, Connor is here." My mom said and I picked up my backpack, strolling my suitcase downstairs with me.

I walked into the kitchen, seeing Connor, Hayden and his parents talking with Dean and my mom. "Where's Ben?" I asked and Connor looked at me, a grin coming onto his face. "Saying bye to Emma."

"Emma's here?" I asked and he nodded. "Yeah, she wanted to say bye to your brother. Even though he's only away for five days. "

Just then my brother entered the kitchen. "Is she gone?" I asked and he nodded, confused. "If you're talking about Emma, yes."

"Bloody hell, I wanted to meet her."

"Wow, you're talking British already? Damn, three weeks of dating that boy." He said, laughing. I rolled my eyes and Connor put his arm around my shoulders. "At least she's learning."

Benjamin stuck out his tongue and Connor shook his head. "Oh lovely God, why did I decide to take him, too?"

"Because now I can make sure you don't take her virginity anytime soon." Ben said. I rolled my lips inside my mouth, flashbacks of two nights ago flashing trough my head.

Our moans, me scratching his back, the squeaking of the bed and-

"If he didn't already?" Ben said, scanning my face. I felt Connor tense next to me. "We-"

"Guys, say your goodbyes." Caitlin said, giving me and Ben a warm smile. I quickly walked to my mom, embracing her. "Be safe," She said. "mostly with Connor, alright?" She whispered and I gulped.

She knew?

"I-" I started, but she slowly shook her head. "No, this is not up for discussion." She said. I sighed and bit my lip. "Just be safe, promise?" She pleaded and I nodded. "Yes, we're prepared."

"Have fun." She smiled.

I gave her a small wave before walking outside. "Wait." Thomas sleepy voice sounded behind me. I turned around and a grin spread across my face. "I cannot believe you're leaving me alone with our parents."

I walked up to him and ruffled his hair. "Dude, just call Diana."

"Yeah, yeah, have fun Alli." He said and gave me one last hug before allowing me to get into Dean's car. "Thanks for driving." Caitlin said to Dean and he waved it away. "Alice'd kill me if I didn't."

The car had three rows, Connor and I were sitting in the back, Benjamin, Hayden and Caitlin were sitting in the middle while Samuel was sitting in the passenger seat. Obviously Dean was in the driver seat.

Connor took my hand in his, leaning closer to me. "You excited?"

I nibbled on my lip. "Yeah, I'm just curious how spending five days with your parents will go." I said and he squeezed my hand softly. "It'll be fine, they literally love you."

I put my head on his shoulder and he kissed the side of my head. Before I knew it, because I didn't get a lot of sleep tonight, I was drifting asleep.

We had checked in our luggage and got trough security in no time, leaving us with two hours to wait for our plane. I sat next to Hayden in the gate. "How are things with you and Ricardo?" I asked and she grinned. "They're good actually, he's been treating me right." She said and she glanced at her brother talking to my brother. "How are you and Connor?"

"I think we're good, I mean, we've only been dating for a few weeks." I said and she grinned even wider. "Have you..." She started and I pinched the bridge of my nose.

She gasped. "You have, haven't you?" I sighed and nodded. "Yeah, yeah, we have."

"Wow, you guys go fast. It's not a bad thing though. Virginity isn't that big of a deal, it's people that make it seem like it." She said and I looked at Connor, catching his eye. "Yeah, totally."

A smile came onto his lips as his eyes never left mine while listening to his dad. He winked and I let out a soft breathy laugh. "Idiot." I mouthed to him and he rolled his eyes. He got out his phone and started typing, for me to soon receive a message. I got out my phone.

Con <3

That's not what you were saying a few nights ago

Alli

Oh, shut your stupid mouth

Con <3

What are you gonna do about it?

Maybe you could come here and kiss me? (2)

I looked at him and rolled my eyes, still getting up to go talk to him. "Awe, you did come." He said and I sat down next to him. "Connor, stop mocking the poor girl." Samuel said and he gave me a smile. "How are you looking forward to the trip?" He asked.

"I'm excited to get to see Newcastle, it's been a while since my family and I visited England. Last time was seven years ago. I think we went to Bath." I said and Samuel nodded. "Bath is a beautiful city. My sister lives there, actually." He said and Connor put his hand on my thigh. "Dad, spare her the details about Aunt Cecilia. She's just a weird lady with a lot of cats."

"Hey, hey, young man, she's family and you can't hate her cats." His dad said, a grin tugging at the corner of his lips. A grin familiar to the one Connor had. "Okay, okay, maybe I like the cats."

"She gave one to Grandpa cause of Grandma's death, she decided that the cat would make him feel less alone." His dad explained. "What? No way, and I could never get one?" Connor exclaimed. I looked at him. "You like cats? Why have you never told me this?" I asked and he shrugged. "It never came up."

"Son, you never got one because your mom is extremely allergic. You can get one once you move." Samuel said and Connor sighed. "Maybe, I don't know yet."

"Well, I'm going to talk to your mum now." He said and got up, walking to his wife. "My parents used to have a cat named Caramel."

"Caramel?" Connor asked, frowning. "Yeah, they wanted to name her that, I don't know the story. It was an inside joke." I explained and he shook his head. "It's original though."

"Yeah, my dad chose it. He always came up with the weirdest things." I said. "Once he got home with a mouse that he had named Frederico. My mom didn't talk to him for a week straight. My mom is really scared of mice and my dad clearly knew." I said, shaking my head. "Why would he buy it then?"

"He read in a magazine that to overcome your fears you have to face them. So with that he just simply decided it was a good idea to buy one." I said and Connor chuckled. "Oh dear God. Did she get over her fear though?"

I nodded, grinning. "Yeah, after that week of not talking my dad caught her petting the mouse. She actually started loving Frederico. Maybe I should buy you a Tarantula, you can overcome your fear for them, too." I said and his eyes widened. "Who told you that?"

"Ben." I said and he ran a hand trough his hair. "Those thing are terrifying."

"I'm not saying they aren't." I said and he bit his lip. "You did come here to kiss me, right?" He said and I looked at him. "That was a weird change if topic."

He shrugged and I grinned, planting a kiss on his lips. "Good?" I asked and he shook his head, pursing his lips. "Not quite." I planted another kiss on his lips, a little longer than the previous one. "Before you say anything, I'm not kissing you again."

I probably was though.
