Strawberries & Cigarettes

Maxence De Shryver

I wake up and find Brooklyn sleeping beside me. His head resting on my shoulders while my arms are wrapped around him.

Brooklyn.. The most adorable guy I've ever met.

Can you believe we almost kissed two times.

We even almost had sex.

If we did that would be my first time with a guy.

But we didn't.. Because he freaked out..

Why did he freaked out??

I'm about to get up when the door opens and Addison enters.

He pause and stare at both of us.

"No we didn't" I stare at him while Brooklyn cuddles me as he move closer to me.

"relax! It's fine.. Breakfast is ready" He smile.

"I smell bacon" Brooklyn mumbles.

He sits up and stretch and rub his eyes like a kid.

He's so precious..

He stare at me and gets shocked.

"You're still here??" He ask.

"Yeah.. I told you I'll never leave you" I smile at him.

"You meant that literally??" He frowns.

"yeah and figuratively" I smile.

"Okay before you continue that Lover discussion have some breakfast first" Addison smile.

"Come" Brooklyn smile as he offer his hand.

"I don't have to close my eyes don't I??" I wink at him.

"Depends" He smile.

I take his hand and follow him outside the room.

"is he like your dad now??" I ask.

"No.. He's my cousin.. I'm staying with him since I'm already allowed to stay with him legally.. Because he's not minor already" Brooklyn smile.

"So he's acting like your guardian??" I ask.

"He is my guardian Maxence" He frown.

"Sorry" I sigh.

We reach the kitchen table and find a guy sitting and texting.

"Zabdiel we have a visitor" Brooklyn smile.

"Who is he again??" Zabdiel ask.

"Maxence" Brooklyn frown.

"Oh yeah your boyfriend!!" Zabdiel laugh.

"No he is not!!" Brooklyn frown.

"Yes he is" Addison tease.

"So Maxence.. Where did you get your patience?? Brooklyn can be such a bitch" Zabdiel laugh.

"Do you want to go grab some coffee??" Brooklyn frowns.

"Uhm" I stutter.

"Brooklyn.. Zabdiel and I made breakfast for you guys" Addison sigh.

"Yeah? Well Zabdiel's cooking sucks so does yours" Brooklyn roll his eyes and grab my wrist as we walk outside their house.

"Ouch!" Zabdiel smile.

We walk outside the house and stop near my bike.

"Now what??" I ask him.

"Starbucks" He sigh.
