Stella

"So which effect are we using for this part then?" Hudson asks.   

We were in the living room working on the project. I found out, when we got to the house that Hundson resided with his aunt. That's about it.

"We could use-" I start but it seems Hudson's family has a thing for interrupting people as his younger brother runs up to us, "Hudson, I'm hungry" The small boy whose name I learnt was 'Henry' exaggerates laying down on the floor.

"Then go find something to eat" Hudson briefly states as Henry begins rolling on the floor, "No...."

"Henry, I'm trying to complete this assignment, come on" Hudson turns around lifting Henry from the ground. "Can I please finish it, then make you something?"

Henry huffs before he goes back to his toys that he was playing with before, he was so cute.

Henry left us alone for a couple minutes until, "Can you make me something please?" He questions me. "If not, can you be my girlfriend?"

"Henry..." Hudson is obviously getting irritated.

"What? She's pretty" Henry says staring at me.

"Oh am I?" I reply. He nods. "Well thank you Henry, you are really handsome"

I can see him blushing. "And of course I'll be honored to be your girlfriend"

"Don't entertain him" Hudson scolds me. "Go..now"

Henry sighs before walking away again.

"You know he's just gonna keep coming back, right?" I ask him.

He thinks for a second before getting up. "Fine. What do you want Henry?"

"Yes!" Henry celebrates throwing his toy car somewhere. "PB&J please" Henry commands climbing up onto the stool.

Hudson begins making the food as I try to work faster in finishing the project. By the time he gets back I'm almost finished.

"Okay and...done" Hudson places the final slide before we watch it back over, adjusting and changing stuff to our liking before we were completely done.

"I'm going to take a shower as Henry messed up my shirt with his sandwich, I'll take you home when I'm done"

"Alrighty" I reply as he goes up the stairs.

Henry sits on the stool, enjoying his sandwich, "You know as my girlfriend, there are rules you need to follow" Henry surprises me by speaking.

"Oh oh, like what?" I play along.

"Well first your not allowed to talk to my brother" He says pointing his index finger at me.

He hops of the chair and walks over to me. "Why?"

" 'Cause your my woman" He states and I try to stop myself from laughing but fail.

"Your very cute, Henry" I tell him.

"Of course I am" He says. "My mother said I got it from my dad"

He states, his mood switching. "Are you okay?" I ask reaching for his shoulder.

"It's fine, I just miss them" Henry says. "But Hudson said it'll get better and that I'll always have them in my heart"

"Well your brother is right" I tell him.

"Can I tell you something?" Henry asks me. I nod.

"The kids at school are saying Hudson is bad, is it true?"

Oh it broke my heart to see how much all of this was affecting Henry but what was I suppose to tell him. I didn't know the answer to that either.

"Have you asked Hudson?"

"Hudson doesn't like talking about that stuff to me, he says I should just ignore the kids at school"

"So ignore them, okay Hunter?"

"Yes of course, I will, my brother is too nice to be bad anyways, and he loved mommy and daddy too much to ever hurt them" Henry states before going back to his sandwhich.

That was it. That was what I needed to make my decision, granted it came from a eleven year old kid but it was motivation nonetheless.

I walk upstairs following the sound of water as I call for Hudson. A door is cracked open and I glanced into it, instantly knowing it was Hudson's room. The clothes flung to the side, the empty pizza boxes, the alcohol-shall I go on?

"Burman?" I was called out of my thoughts by Hudson's voice. Oh sweet baby Jesus. Why did I make the decision of turning around?

Hudson stands there with only a towel, his jet black hair dripping, and his body? Whooo! Don't even get me started on those muscles and abs.

I peel my eyes away from him even though it was so difficult, "I-I was calling you"

Stuttering? Me Stella Alexandria Elizabeth Burman..stuttering....?

"I told you, I'd be down in a sec..."

He then realized I wasn't moving, I couldn't. I was frozen. "Could I have some time to get ready?"

"Most definitely" I say before literally running out of the room. There it was again that..wetness, and let me guess it wasn't my period once again. It was Hudson, he had this effect on me and I very much hated it, why couldn't Issac do this to me and even better why couldn't no one at all do this.

I hated how my body was reacting without my permission.

Wait what was I going to tell Hudson again?, my mind is all over the place as I search for that bit of information.

Oh! Right.

I walk back towards his room door remembering the images of his body before thinking it'd be better if I just told him in the car, when he was clothed.
