The Story Of Us

Derek

As of right now, it is 7 a.m., and Zara and I are wrapped up in each other arms with her head on my chest and my finger caressing her spine listening to Pink Sweat$ Heaven from my phone.

Sums up the perfect moment.

"Are you sure that I didn't hurt you?" I asked again. We were getting pretty hot and heavy so I'm not sure.

Zara sighed "I'm sure" she reassured me. "And you're not hurt by the choking last night either, are you?" I asked her. She laughs. "No, actually I liked it,"

There was a moment of silence between us. "What exactly are we right now?" I asked her breaking it.

"What do you mean?" she questions

"Like are we gonna date or just become some sort of friends with benefits."

"I don't know Derek but I do know that what we got going on now works for me. I'm not sexually tensed up or moody. Look, we are going to be parents there is no changing that and our baby girl will have both of us in her life but we should see how this plays out first before we make things official." She tells me and I look at her in full understanding.

"I understand what you are saying, if we make things official now and then we break up when the baby gets here things will be awkward," I say to her and she nods her head in agreement.

"Okay listen, this right here..." I wave my finger between us "...is good so if you feel like you need to release some tension come see me."

"Deal," she says.

Zara and I shake on the agreement we've made. Then the sudden smell of bacon and pancakes filled my bedroom. Zara's eyes widened and her smile grew. "Come on let's get dressed and get some breakfast.

Once we put on some spare clothes, we headed downstairs towards the kitchen. We reached the kitchen my entire family paused and looked at us with 'I know want you did' eyes.

Uncomfortable is the word I would use to describe the current mood Zara and I was in. Gwen was red from trying to hold in a laugh, My mom look mortified and my father looked proud giving me a 'thatta boy' look and Camillia looked like she didn't want to be there.

"Good morning everybody," Zara said trying to break the tension.

"Good morning cariño," my mom said to her.

"Come sit down, I'll fix you some breakfast." Zara wobbled over to sit next to the seat next to Gwen and I went over and sat next to her. Gwen and Zara immediately began to conversate when my mom came over and place the plate in front of Zara but not me.

What the hell.

"Mama where is my food?" I asked her.

She looked at me like I grew two heads.

"You have two hands and two feet you can fix your food and you should have fixed Zara food as well, perezoso" she smacks me in the head.

As I recover from my head injury Zara is practically finished with her breakfast and my mom brings her another plate full of food.

She looks at me "What, I'm eating for two?" she explained. I shake my head and smiled. "So little brother, how was the pullout," Gwen says before taking a sip from her coffee. Zara chokes on her food.

"Okay, my appetite is gone," Camilla interjected before leaving the table. Once Camilla is fully away from the kitchen I turn to face Gwen.

"Gwen what the hell is wrong with you," I yelled.

"What..." she said defensively "...we all heard most of it, you animal" she continued.

"Come on Gwen let's not talk about their sex life at the table." My dad told her.
