Before I went to work, I would have to make sure that Harper wasn't going to make a mess. I drove home as quick as I could. He had texted me saying I needed to get home immediately. When I got there, Harper was lying on the couch with a sad look on his face, his green eyes staring off into the distance dramatically.
I went to him and brushed his light brown hair out of his face. "Hey, what's wrong?"
" Can.....you get the remote?" He asked pointing at the remote on the coffee table. I growled, tempted to throw the remote at him, but I couldn't do that.
"Is that all you wanted?"
"Well.....I.....umm, I kind of broke something. "
I groaned. "What did you break?"
"T-the vase. The one that mama gave to us before she died. " Oh.... that vase. I felt hurt because that really meant a lot to me. He saw the hurt look on my face. "I'm sorry," he cried. "I didn't mean to! I really didn't. Please forgive me!"
"It's......okay. Clean it up. I'm going to leave for work. Don't make any more messes, and please behave. You just graduated, and you're going to be eighteen in a week. You can't behave like a child any more. "
"I know! I'm sorry!" He cried as he hugged me tightly.
"Shh," I whispered as I softly patted his head. "Clean up the mess. We'll talk when I get back from work. "
"Okay." He sniffed quietly.
I got my stuff and got into the car. I knew it wasn't his fault, but she was all we had after papa left. Now that she was gone, it felt so empty. Sure, I had Harper, but I loved her so much. That vase meant something. But I had to focus on work right now. I drove off after a minute of silence, still thinking about that vase and mama.
☁☁☁☁☁
After work, I quickly went home hoping nothing was broken. When I got there, Harper was sleeping, and everything looked so tidy. Thank goodness. I got a blanket and and put it over him. "Jay....." I lifted him up a bit, sat down, and placed his head on my lap. He reached his hands up and played with my dark brown hair. "I'm sorry...."
"It's okay. It meant a lot to me, but....she's still with us. She's watching over us from Heaven. It's just an object, and it was bound to break someday. " I still felt a little hurt, but the words I spoke were true.
Harper smiled. "Thank you. Are you going to go back?"
"Go back to where exactly?"
" The club. Are you going to go back to the club? "
"I don't know. Let me text Athena. "
I got out my phone and sent her a text.
Me: Hey, where are you right now?
I patiently waited for a response.
Her: Well, I want to have some fun tonight. I'm getting ready to go to the club. Do you want to go?
I looked down at Harper. "Would you be okay here alone?"
" I was when you were at work, so sure! You should be able to relieve down stress every now and then. "
"Thanks."
Me: Sure. Give me some time. Let's meet there. In 40 minutes, okay?
Her: Okay.
"Okay, Harper, I'm going to be going in 40 minutes. Make sure you behave. Don't make any messes. If you get hungry, fix some pizza. Okay?"
" Okay! "
I went upstairs and got dressed in the most attractive clothes I could find. I brushed my hair back in hopes that it would be just a bit calmer. I made sure I had condoms and my wallet. Last time, Athena told me to bring them and I was hesitant, but I brought them anyway. Now I knew for sure that I would need them.
I looked in the mirror scanning my body. I looked quite attractive, and I could admit it. Although, my brown hair and eyes were boring, the rest made up for it. I wasn't extremely muscular, but I still had a bit of muscle. And my co** wasn't huge, but it was pretty big. Overall, I was pretty hot.
I went downstairs and Harper was just sitting there kicking his feet, while looking down at the ground. "Hey, sweetheart, I'm leaving. Remember what I said, okay?"
"Got it, Jay!"
"I know...come here. " He did as I said and came to me. I pulled him into a hug. "I don't think you're incapable of behaving, Harper. I will admit, you are a bit immature but I love you, and.....I'm not mad, okay?"
" Okay...I just don't want you to be unhappy... "
"I'm not, Harper. You make me happy. So, don't worry. I'm leaving now. " I let go of him, and he laid back down.
"Have fun!"
I smiled. " You too. Bye. "
"Bye!"
I left the house and got in my car. I rested my head on the wheel for a minute before taking off. When I got to the club, it looked completely full. I spotted Athena, and went to her.
"Hey! You made it!"
"Duh."
" Well, let's go in! " We had to wait for a little while until we could go in, but we managed to get inside.
The first person my eyes landed on was Sky. He looked my way and smiled, but didn't come over because he had another person on his hands.
"So, " Athena said as she took my hand, "are you looking to screw around with Sky, or just screw him?"
" No, I'm not that type of guy. I'm not going to have sex every night especially since I just lost my virginity. "
"Why does it matter?"
" Because I did it with a stranger, okay? That's why it matters! "
"Okay, okay. Fine."
"So, how are you friends with Sky?" We sat down watching the strippers on stage put on a show.
"Well, I'm a regular here. After coming here so many times, we got to know each other. I might have paid him to have dinner with me, and have sex with me after we enjoy a meal. But we'll never know...."
" You paid him to do that? What is wrong with you? "
"Well, I was interested in him. I'm not anymore, but at the time, I was. Sky is not interested in a relationship, though."
For some reason, those words hit harder than they should have. It's not like I'm looking for one either, so why does it matter to me?
"Why doesn't he want a relationship?"
" Its not my place to tell, okay? I can't just tell you everything about him. "
"Okay, fine..... "
Suddenly, Sky came our way. "Hey, Jay," he said in a seductive voice. "Would you like to come on stage? "
"No, not really."
" Aww, that's a shame. " He rubbed himself on me before sitting down on my lap. "Would you like to go to a private room?"
" No, I don't want to have sex. "
"Hmm, that's not what you said yesterday. I don't really remember that when you were moaning my name."
"Well, today's a new day," I shot back.
He slipped his hand under my shirt. "Come on," he whispered.
" Umm, you shouldn't pressure him, Sky! Stop before I take out my rape whistle. "
He looked taken aback, and what really surprised me was that he blushed and held his head down in shame. "I'm sorry...." This voice was softer and quieter.
" It's okay, " I chuckled.
"What's so funny?"
" That you can actually be sorry. "
"Shut up!" He got off of me, and pulled Athena up. "Come on. "
"Okay!" She pushed herself on him and started touching him which caused him to let out cute little moans and pants.
I felt a bit jealous, but I knew that I shouldn't have been. He didn't mean anything to me.
I hate myself 😊 But if anyone actually enjoys this, I wanna give you a hug, and (๑′ᴗ‵๑)I Lᵒᵛᵉᵧₒᵤ♥
