I smile softly and nod to Jordan, agreeing to his declaration, he nods back and that is that. I gracefully stand up and make my way back into the bedroom that I now share with Erris. I slap my hands over my eyes and bump around until I make it to the bed and sit down.

"Erris, are you dressed?" I question and when I don't get an answer I think of asking again but someones, oh alright, Erris's hands take mine and lower them down, revealing a fully clothed Erris in my shirt and shorts. I blush like crazy and stare wide-eyed at him, admiring his cuteness. 

“I’m cold Maxi,” He whispers and then curls up next to me, wrapping his arms and legs around me while he nuzzles his head into the crook of my neck. I heard him take a small breathe in and then out, sighing quietly and then running a finger up and down my jawline. I can’t help but stare at him, question him, and his weird behavior. Did he perhaps hear me and Jordan? No, that was not likely, he was in the washroom while I was practically in the living room with Jordan, and to add on we were whispering the entire time. 

“Erris, are you drunk?” I ask in a completely quiet voice, lower than even a mouse’s whisper. He moves his head, side to side, letting out a shaking laugh and smiling, denying my acquisition and kissing my cheekbone gently. He scoots into my lap and straddles me (What is with the men in my life and straddling?). I glance up and go to kiss him before he jumps up and lets out a breath of relief.

“Finally! Jordan left to go to a friend’s” He groans and makes his way to the kitchen.

“Sorry for that Maxi, just had to make sure he still thinks we are dating” Oh boy, I could tell him but why not have two men going after me, I can be those 1800s princesses with the older men that desire my heart (who am I kidding, they want the money and kingdom). I laugh too, just playing the role so as not to inform Erris of my growing crush on him, and Jordan as well. I stand up and stretch, cracking my back and knuckles. 

“Welp, I am gonna head to bed, I have a class at like six in the morning” I mumble and wrap myself in the blankets, quickly falling asleep. 

My alarm clock blares and I bolt up, never really used to the shock of suddenly being awoken. I hop up and quickly get dressed and grab my bag, grabbing my keys and heading to my car. I make sure I have my wand since it is magic class that I am heading to, to be honest, you really don’t need a wand it just helps navigate wear the spell shall go and me being the most powerful mage I need a lot of help so that my extensive power is not directed at the wrong object or person. Once I make my way to class I walk in and set my stuff down at one of the desks. Once the professor enters, all of the students, including me, turn in their homework. The required work was to turn a grain of rice into not only multiple grains but to cook it. Your special mage (aka me) passed that test and now can add that spell to my growing collection. I sit through the lecture and learn a couple of new spells. After two hours I make my way home and open the door. Waiting for me on the other side is Jordan sitting by the kitchen window, dressed in only boxers, and smoking a cigarette. I smile and hang my backpack on the hook, then rush over to Jordan and whisper in his pierced ear.

“Is Erris home?” He practically glares at Erris’s door and when I go to look in no one is there.

“Nope, he should be back in twenty minutes” He smiles and pulls me to his chest as he takes a drag of his cigarette and then smashes it in the ashtray while he interlocks our lips and pushes the smoke into my mouth and down to my lungs. I cough and hack and he laughs, whipping tears from his eyes.

“I’m sorry cutie,” He mumbles and holds my hips to his, kissing me for real this time. I feel him slide his tongue into my mouth and I open wider, giving him more access. We push up against each other and he reaches his hand down and slides his hand down, breaching my pants and my boxers’ elastic. I gasp as his hands rub on the side of my hips and pull me even closer than before. I pull away and rest my forehead against his, my eyes level with his.

“Hey sexy,” He rasped and gave my ass a squeeze. I laugh and give him a peck on the lips.

“Your boxers seem a little tight” I tease and gesture to his growing erection that rubs up against my stomach. He blushes and pulls away going to grab some pants and another cigarette. I kiss the skin between his shoulder blades and smile when after lighting his drug, he takes my hand in his and kisses my knuckles.

“You sweet, sexy boy” I whisper and rest the back of my head against his chest, closing my eyes and falling asleep.
