"Yeah Mom, I don't need you to come cook for me," I said into my BIC, rolling my eyes at my mother even though she couldn't see me.
"Are you sure? Is Taron's cooking good?" she asked.
"Taron doesn't cook Mom. The droid does."
"Like machines know how to cook with love."
"Don't tell that to a droid, or they'll squirt lubricating oil into your food," I said. I heard my mother laugh over the call.
"Well, if you're sure. I'll see you then."
"I'm sure Mom. Bye."
"Bye," she replied as the call ended. I chuckled to myself, shaking my head at my mother. Ever since I had moved back to the city centre a few days ago, my mom had been mothering me to no end. My dad says she's just got a taste what it's like without me and suddenly went into overdrive when I came back.
I leaned into the couch as I closed my eyes. I had finally gotten the last of my boxes unpacked and now I was fully moved into my new home. Or should I say, our new home. Yep, Taron and I moved in together.
I stared around the living room and smiled. I liked our house, but I liked saying that even more. Our house. It wasn't huge like the mansions that Taron or Alena lived in, but it wasn't the standard two story natal residences either. It was a moderately size bungalow, which seemed just right for two loving boyfriends.
It's been around a month since the whole fiasco with the moving and all that. The reposting in itself took close to three weeks to finalize. There were a thousand and one forms to sign and read through. Everyone had been involved. Will, Taron, Alena and even Jay, my previous boss. It was a long process, but eventually my reposting was approved and that's when I moved back to the City Centre. It was also the same time Taron asked me to move in with him, which I, of course, gladly accepted.
The sound of the door opening brought me from my thoughts as I looked over to see my lovely boyfriend walking into the house. "Hey," I said, smiling at him as I hung my head off the back of the couch.
"Hey beautiful," he said, bending down and kissing me.
"How was your day?"
"Really? Have we really become one of those couples already? I only expected that after a few years of a relationship," he said, coming around the couch and plopping down next to me.
"Meh, as long as we're a couple, I don't care what kind of couple we are," I said.
"TouchΓ©. But your brother was exceptionally annoying today," he sighed.
"What happened this time?"
"He and Alena keep flaunting their relationship in everyones faces. Its pretty sickening to be honest. Like seriously, PDA non stop kind of couple," he said and I grimaced at that. I never liked couples who excessively displayed their love in public, and imagining Ken as one of those people weirded me out to be honest. Taron saw my expression, a similar one on his face. "I know right?"
"I still can't believe they managed to keep their relationship a secret from everyone," I said. You know when Ken had supposedly confessed his undying love to Alena in a spur of the moment thing? Well, turns out that I had been played like a violin. Unbeknownst to all of us, Ken and Alena had been having a secret relationship, around the same time that Taron and I had gotten together. Remember when I said that I could read Ken like he could read me? Well, I was apparently wrong. So wrong.
"Yeah. Alena, I can see being able to hide it, but your brother?"
"Oh believe me, he pulled it off. He gave me the impression that he was hiding his feelings the whole time, and I believed him."
"But I'm glad he did though. If he didn't, you wouldn't have confessed to me either," he said. I blushed. I mean of course I told him what went down, and even if I didn't, Alena and Ken were bragging about it so much he would have found out anyway.
"I do love you though," I said.
"I have no doubt about that," Taron said, climbing over and straddling my legs. Now you may think that in the month that we've gotten back together, we've been fucking like rabbits, but thats not really the case. I only moved back a few days ago, and I've been so busy with everything that we just didn't have time to have sex.
That's not saying that we didn't have sex though. We did, once, back at sector 76 a few weeks ago. It was great, like the last time at Taron's house, but I realized that I still couldn't touch him without having some sort of panic attack. Of course, that was unacceptable in my mind. I loved him, and I needed to be able to pleasure my man. Hell, I wanted to be able to pleasure my man. I had been practicing too, slipping my hands underneath his shirt when we slept together, intertwining our legs, all to get comfortable with my skin on his.
"So, if you don't want to be the old couple type, do you want to be the sex all day type?" Taron said seductively against my neck. His breath tickled my skin and sent goosebumps racing across my body.
"That sounds good," I breathed out, wrapping my hand around his waist.
