"It's kind of depressing, don't you think?" I say as I sit in the kitchen on the counters, swinging my legs, staring at her.
"What's depressing?" She asked almost as if it wasn't a question because she didn't want to know.
"Growing up. Now we don't play "House", we live house. Now we don't play "School" we pay off our student loans. Now we don't play "Hide and Seek" we hide from our 'Ex's and our ex-best-friends in the grocery stores." I say suddenly interested in my hands as she stares me down with disbelief and disappointment.
"Cut the crap." She turned back to chopping what ever vegetable she was chopping.
"Now we don't play tag. You play games with me. You're always it."
"Cut the crap." She repeated and stopped chopping but didn't look up at me.
"Have you ever wondered what happens to the people who are still "it" from childhood games of it" I whisper loud enough for her to hear me. I gaze upon her angry pose as I sit unfazed and waiting for an answer.
"Cut. The. Crap." She looks at me and clenches her fist.
"Why can't I ever be it? How-"
"CUT THE CRAP" She screamed, banging her fist on the cutting board.
"NOW WE DON'T PLAY TAG"
"STOP"
"NOW YOU JUST CHASE ME"
"SHUT UP"
She left the room. Leaving me alone, sitting on the cabinets wondering how a simple smile could turn into tears running from my face to my hands.

"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?"

I glanced down to her lips but then I scooted away while clearing my throat. She hmm'd, "You tried to kiss me again." I shook my head and said "Nope. I didn't, I tried not to kiss you, as you see." She rolled her eyes with a soft smile. "Maybe if you did let me kiss you...just once, I would stop trying." She sighed softly "I got my doctorate at 24 You know I'm not a dumbass right?" I just let out a soft sigh "Thank you for everything" I hugged her and held her tightly. She wrapped her arms around me. She pulled back and I looked at her lips. "I should go." I said softly. "You can have one kiss-" I kissed her. ________________________________________ India Jones is a true Chicagoan girl who, to unfortunate circumstances, has to move to Texas with her father.

From Horses to Skateboards
I search for a cup, but don't see one so Will pulls one out from under the machine. What a stupid place to hide the cups. Who's going to see that? I position it under the hole it came out of and wait, but nothing happens. "Oh." I mock. "Is this one voice-activated?" Will turns around to glance at me since he was checking out a group of girls in bikini tops and shorts. Yeah, that's totally girlfriend material. Not. "Pour!" I order, but the machine keeps moving in a circle, mixing the green goo. "Open! Spill! Fill!" "Stop it!" Will yells, taking the cup and pulling a lever until green goo comes out. "What is wrong with you?" "I thought it did it by itself." I mumble as I realize the group of girls is staring at me and laughing. Great. So much for making friends. Will walks to the counter, too embarrassed to look at the girls and slaps the cups on the counter. "Money." He orders, holding out his hand. I reach in my boot, pull it out and slap it into his hand. He looks disgusted, but hands it to the lady anyways. "You are so not in Kansas anymore."Complete
My Mate Is Who?
"What now?" She asked. "I don't know. I guess tell our families." I replied. "No!" She said pushing me away. I growled. "Why not?" "We're girls. Our families won't accept it." She pointed out. I growled again and Rachel put her hand on my arm. "Let's just not tell them." "Why, because we're girls? How long do you wanna hide this Rachel? Until our families think that Austin is your mate or that Colton's mine? Or they'll send us away to find our mate because they'll think we haven't found each other? How long Rachel? Tell me."

In Between
"You should do something about that. She's been trying to get your attention all night." Bella chuckles at me before lighting up her joint again. I turn my head and look back at the curly hair that had been staring at me all night. My eyes run down from her hair to her almond shaped eyes, nose and her full lips before going down to her average sized busts, probably a BB cup. I trail my eyes finally to her slim waist and wide hip. She is great to look at and the female is well aware of it. Which is why she is boldly still staring at me when I look up back to her eyes.

"If we have one last night... can you just let her leave? I know I hurt you but please just let her leave.
