"Goodmorning baby..." Ramond was about to say but watched Elijah sleep. He looked at Elijah's matted hair and gave him a kiss on the forehead to see if he would wake up. "Baby wake up" Ramond said as he shook Elijah, "we gotta get up".

Elijah shrugged Ramond off and groaned into the pillow when Ramond threw his shirt at him. "Just give me five minutes" he mumbled.

"You're still naked but okay" Ramond shrugged his shoulders as he was putting his jeans on. He checked to see if there was any food for them to eat, no cereal but just some eggs and bacon and pancake mix. He couldn't stop thinking about last night. The way that Elijah was grinding on him, the way that he was inside of Elijah, this was honestly the best sex that Ramond had in a long time. He cracked the eggs into a bowl as Elijah came out the room yawning with his navy blue shirt unbuttoned and picking out his hair.

"Bout time you're up" Ramond scoffed. "I'm making breakfast you want some?"

"Yeah" Elijah yawned, "let me do the..um...pancakes" putting his arms around Ramond's waist and hugging him.

Ramond felt like this was nice, they were at a house, sort of, making breakfast, even woke up in the same bed next to each other. He wished that he could do this with him forever. If they were still together in the next couple of years then maybe they could move in here after college and start their life here. Wait. Why did Ramond just think that? They've only been dating for two weeks. He stirred the eggs faster to get the thoughts out of his head.

"You can start on the pancakes" he cleared his throat to Elijah.

Elijah grabbed the pancake mix off the counter and started looking for a bowl or a pitcher. Ramond pointed to the bottom cabinet on the left, and told him to add some cinnamon to the pancakes.

They turned  on the TV and watched 'How to Get Away With Murder'. The breakfast was nice but silent because of being focused on the show.  Ramond started to case the place and got two ideas. His first idea was probably coming out to his grandparents, and his second idea was probably doing Thanksgiving at this beach house slash Lodge.

"Come on now" Elijah sighed grabbing his and Ramond's plate, "I gotta get you home".

"Alright, baby" Ramond said getting his stuff.

Freddie

"Morning son" Mrs. Jackson greeted him as he was coming out of his room. Her smile got bigger when she saw Aaliyah coming out of the room wrapping her hair in a ponytail. "Why hello Aaliyah. How was your night?"

"It was fine Mrs. Jackson" Aaliyah smiled pulling down her pink shirt.

"You can call me Sasha" she told her.

Sasha was a hair stylist, she was a few inches shorter than Freddie and fair skinned, Freddie was her oldest son, he had two twin sisters, Kiani and Luna who were in the 8th grade and a younger brother, Leon in 9th grade. His dad wasn't really in the picture but his stepdad, Cameron was the man of the house and he was the swim coach.

"Mom" Freddie said firmly, "what did you cook?"

"Boy you almost 18. You can cook your own food. I got work. Your da-Cameron isn't going to fix you anything either" she said scratching the bottom of his chin.

"So tell me? Why isn't your dad in the picture if you don't mind me asking" Aaliyah said as a frown took over her face.

Freddie wasn't comfortable saying the reason but he really liked Aaliyah, if they were going to be in a relationship there couldn't be any secrets between them. "He left because my mom found out he cheated. It happened when I was like 3, before Leon and my sisters were born".

Tears filled Aaliyah's eyes, that story was sad. "I'm so sorry" she said as she went to hug him. "Do you still talk to him?"

"It's been a good, 7 years but I'm thankful  for Cameron, I even call him dad sometimes". Freddie pulled Aaliyah from off of him, he gave her a kiss and caressed her shoulders and said "I love you, Aaliyah Valentine".

Aaliyah let out a sob and smiled "I love you too" and pulled him in for a kiss. They heard the twins go aww behind the ledge of the door.

"Grow up!" he rolled his eyes.

"Someday you girls can have this" Aaliyah commented. "You can find someone who genuinely makes you happy".

Elijah dropped Ramond off at his house. "I had fun last night" Elijah grinned at Ramond.

"I know you did. I did too" Ramond grinned back.

Elijah drove all the way home, some parts of the sex that him and Ramond had replayed in his head, even of what happened today. At a house, cooking watching TV together would all be a glimpse of what the adult life would be like.

When he got back home his family was sitting on the stairs and had straight smiles on their faces. Asia-Lynn squealed a little bit.

"How was your date?" Lena asked childishly, "did you guys get it in?" this time she sounded like Jasmine from On My Block.

"You guys were safe though right?" Jonathan asked, covering his fiancé's mouth.

"Yes father we used protection" Elijah smeared his hands over his face trying to get to his room.

Asia-Lynn blocked his way up the stairs and teased him. "So you guys did fuck?" adding a lot of emphasis on did.

"Language!" Lena scolded to her.

Elijah picked her up out of his way and made it up to his room. He let out a happy sigh and plopped down on his bed and lied on his back.

He went to his dresser and got some clothes to take a shower. If only Ramond was there, if only Ramond was there.
