Violet Ankamah's POV

"Violet, you okay? You haven't touched your food at all" my mom asks, with a concerned look on her face.

"Mhm. Yeah. I'm good momma" I say to her.

She shrugs and turns around.

Just as she does, Orion catches my eye, with a very smug smirk on his face, a huge cup of coffee in his hands.

My dad and Jayden went out somewhere this morning, leaving me, my mom, who has a meeting with her friends from the gym in half an hour and my boyfriend.

I glare back at him and he winks, taking a sip of the coffee.

I look away, flustered.

My mom kisses my cheek.

"Make sure you lock up, okay, sweetheart?" She asks.

I nod.

"Yes momma." I tell her.

She's not a hugely affectionate woman.

So when she is, it's always nice.

She turns to Orion.

"It was lovely meeting you, Orion" she says with a warm smile.

"Likewise" he responds.

She grabs her keys and her bag, leaving the kitchen.

I hear the front door close.

Orion speaks.

"You wanna talk about last night, Cher?" He asks.

I look away.

"There is nothing to talk about" I insist.

"Mhm. Looks like we're talking about it" he chuckles.

*8 hours earlier.*

"Orion, put that back!" I gasp.

He lets out a soft chuckle.

"I want a back story out of you first, baby" he tells me.

I lean forward to snatch it off of him, but he twists it out my reach.

"Embarrassed?" He asks.

I see a teasing glint in his eyes.

I pout.

"This isn't funny!" I chastise.

"I'm not laughing" he responds, with a grin.

I sigh, rubbing my eyes.

"You never got... you know... frustrated as a teenager?" I ask, looking away.

"I get 'frustrated' now, Violet." He responds.

I feel my face heat up.

"Well that's all there is to it. I was at the age where I started to think about it a lot. So I brought a.. a- -" I stutter.

"A toy" he finishes and I nod.

"I didn't lose my virginity until I met my ex, so this was good for me." I say.

Despite myself, I let out a little chuckle.

"I was still even using it after I met him, coincidentally. I forgot that I left it here" I tell him.

"What, he didn't satisfy you enough while you were together?" Orion asks me.

I shrug.

"Well we weren't really doing a lot together since he was... you know." I say trailing off and Orion nods.
