She’s back. I have spent the past two weeks on edge. I knew it was what she needed to recover, move on to finally allow herself to be happy for real. I missed her so much. Her smile. Her little routines. I missed it all. It was hard without her but we did it. And seeing her flash that smile at me from across the street made it all worth it. The time apart so she can heal and grow. I picked her up from the facility and she looked lighter and happier than I’d ever seen her. We spent the car ride talking and catching up. The ease she spoke with and strength to go through what she did. We went and got ice-cream continuing the tradition. We went home so she could see her brothers after we had spent the last couple hours together. The girls have a night planned for her tonight and Josie is going to spend the night with her. Per Em’s request. But Josie already made a group chat with me, Cole and Damien to send updates to because she knows she would want that. She is the lig

The butterflies swarm my stomach as we are driving to his family home in Boston. I’m going to meet his parents and sister today. Am I anxious? Hell yes. But Kingston assured me they know what happened as he asked if he could tell them which I didn’t mind, it isn’t something I try to hide but it also isn’t something I’m actively going around and telling people. I’m mean he already knew Cole and Damien is pretty good once he knows your intentions and Tate well she is harmless. I had Kingston tell me everything about them before I came. His mom is Lucy a physical therapist and dad is Johnathan an English professor at Harvard. Who was a Bruins fan hence knowing my father not personally but through a tv screen. Then there’s his baby sister Cora who is 10, 1 year older than Tate and she skates as well. We are actually going home so we can take Cora to the Fun Fair that’s in town here in there neighbourhood. I was going to bring Tate but she had a lot going on with school and ska

“Good morning baby.” Kingston says when I roll over and see him standing in the door with a cup of coffee in hand. “Morning.” I say sleep evident in my tone. I sit up as he walks over and sits on the edge of the bed before me, leaning in to press a kiss on me. But I move away quickly when he frowns I say “morning breath.” I take care of that in the bathroom. “Can I kiss you now?” He says in the doorway to the bathroom. “Yes you can since you’ve been so patient.” I say leaning to kiss his lips. The kiss intensifies as he grabs my neck pulling me closer as I thread my hands in his hair. It deepens when are tongues fight for control as they flick in each other’s mouths. I fall back against the counter as he pushes me never coming up for air. He lifts me onto the counter now and I open my legs so he can step between them which he does at the same time I move my legs to wrap around him. Running my fingers through his soft brown hair feels so fucking good, I tug on it as he s

Josie has been going through a lot recently hence the suggestion of making use of the outdoor hot tub on the roof of our apartment. We use it a lot in the summer not so much in the winter. I fly into Josie’s room where she is watching friends snuggled against Austen, well really she is asleep and he is just watching her with love and adoration. Again, really happy she has him as a boyfriend he loves her so much and is by her side through everything. His gazes flickers to mine. “Is there something you wanted?” he asks. “All good, I’ll ask when she comes too again. How was last night?” referring to the faint noises I heard from her room which weren’t pleasant in the slightest. “She was in a lot of pain and spent it in the bathroom most of the night. It’s hard Em really hard.” His gaze raises to mine and I can see the utter pain and helpless in it. We are still getting to know each other for Kingston and Josie but I can see he needs someone to confide in as neither of us ha

The only one I have at home I won’t part with was last years matching set we got for Addison and her birthday. In our colours with our symbols. Its lace and satin fucking gorgeous. I grab my go to colours, light blue and white and hit the change rooms. I come out at the girls huddle around the door to admire it from the front that’s all they see nothing more. Josie throws in a light yellow set for the out of the comfort style. We pay well Sutton does because if she is using daddy’s money anywhere it’s on us girls. She’s the kindest soul that her dad knows nothing about which really sucks because she is fucking gorgeous and smart and one day a guy is going to love her with everything he has because she deserves to be loved like Josie loves donuts or I love greys, it’s that simple. Same with Addison. “So how do you feel about 21 Em?” Addy asks after her I was the next one to turn 21. Josie and Sutton’s are still coming. “Pretty good, like that was the end of a chapter and
