*Imagine a room like this for Lena*
Lena

About a month had passed and it was now Thanksgiving. August would be celebrating with us after I had to ask him continuously seeing as he felt like he was intruding.

So it would be my dad, Jalen, August and me. I was currently helping my dad cook while waiting on August to get here.

"So you two... just friends?" My dad asked with an eyebrow raised. I slightly blushed at his questions.

"Something like that" I replied, keeping it simple.

"Mhm" he hummed, acting messy. He knew, he just wanted me to say it. And I honestly didn't know how to explain what was going on between us. We weren't officially dating, but he was mine. And I was definitely his. No doubt about that.

Soon enough the food was basically done and I was in the kitchen working on my dessert while August watched. He had come later than expected but it was okay. Now he was just asking a bunch of questions being nosy about what I was doing.

I always made a granola pie that was so delicious for thanksgiving and I guess he was curious about it.

"Thank you fa' invitin me baybeh." August said out of the blue.

"You're welcome boo" I replied with a smile looking up at him. He rubbed the side of my face with his big hands and seemed as if he was about to kiss me before Jalen walked in interrupting the moment.

"Wassup y'all, me and dad ready to eat Lena."

"Okay, I'm almost done." I replied putting the pie in the oven to bake while we ate. He nodded before walking back to the table.

I grabbed August's hand leading him into the dining room before we sat across from my dad and brother. We had plates of food all over the table. I made August a plate before making my own and we finally settled.

"Who wants to say grace?" My dad asked looking at us.

"I'a do it." August replied making me smile at him.

"Dear Heavenly Fatha', we come hea' today ta' thank ya for everything we have. Thank you fa' the food on tha table and the roof above our heads. Thank ya for blessing us and lovin us unconditionally. And I thank ya for Lena and ha' family for having me. Amen" he finished off.

"Amen" we all said.

We all dug in and ate until we couldn't anymore. I was so stuffed I felt as if I could explode.

Eventually we all grew tired so after I took the pie out of the oven to cool off, we took a nap.

Me and August went up to my room as I closed the door behind me. He walked up to me giving me a hug as I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Foreal, Thank you Lena. For everything." He said staring into my eyes.

"You're welcome Aug." I said softly.

He grabbed my chin before lightly pecking my lips. Wanting to feel more of his lips I kissed back deeper.

He picked me up as we were kissing and laid me down on the bed. His tongue entered my mouth as we wrestled for dominance. His hands began rubbing up and down my sides as I tried to suppress the moans that wanted to escape.

We hadn't moved this far yet so I allowed him to try it. No other man had made me feel the way August made me feel and I was loving it.

When we kissed it was like an escape from reality. I felt as if the world stopped and his lips were addictive.
