SAVANNA
CHAPTER 9

A week has passed since my mother was allowed to go home by the Hospital. Mother has also returned to activities as usual, as well as myself who returned with school and my dear James. Oh, of course, don't forget there's Ashela the bully.

Lately James and I have only been spending time together at school, because after that I had to go back home to help mom with some homework while she worked at the supermarket. I don't want you to be too tired, so do the housework so I take care of it. As for James, he was busy escorting Ashela and helping her adjust to her surroundings. So said James told by his mother Ashela.

Sometimes in the evening James came to visit the house and deliver some food, just greet mom for a while and then go home. He really is a sweet guy. I love her so much.

Today I came home a bit late in the afternoon, because the school held a routine tutoring activity in the afternoon that must be followed by final students. This lesson has been valid since last week, which at that time I was accompanying my mother in the hospital. Today is the turn of the maths subjects. The tutoring teacher gave me the opportunity to repeat the previous material, so the other friends had gone home first, except me, the tutoring teacher and James. Previously he had taken Ashela home and chose to return again with a few snacks while waiting for me.

After 17:00 I finally went home. My head felt like it was emitting smoke when it came out of the tutoring room. James who approached me immediately laughed at my gloomy and stressful appearance.

This kid! They even laughed at me who was suffering. For me dear.

Upon arrival at the school parking lot, James offered me a quick refresh, and I immediately agreed.

We drove to the beach not far from where we lived. There are already several couples who are enjoying the view of orange-colored sun that will soon drown.

I was amazed by the beauty in front of me. With a romantic atmosphere, James directed me to lean on his shoulder. I followed his will and leaned on his shoulder. A second later I felt the softness of her lips that kissed my forehead.

"I love you, Babe". He said it over my head.

"I Love You Too James". I pulled back and kissed her hand.

"I Love you more". Say again.

I nodded while chuckling. We also returned to enjoy this romantic atmosphere of silence. The more dissolved the rest of the sun at the end, the dark began to envelop, the small lights were turned on. How many couples are seen starting to make out to each other in their respective cars, making the romantic atmosphere deeper.

James closed the windshield and started the AC. I who was carried away began to pull his shoulders so that his handsome face I could touch. We also made each other friendly. The music that came out of the radio played Carpenters-Close to You.

As the music flowed, our kisses deepened and demanded each other. A week without James seems to make me thirsty for him. James loosened his steering chair suit and pushed it backwards. He then gave me space to climb up, and sat face to face on his lap.

The longer our kisses go wild with each other. Unbearable longing flows in every touch that gets more intense. My fingers began to fumble over sensitive parts of his body. The little han village came out from James's sweet lips as my hands started to descend to his lower body.

"I miss you so much babe". James said with a hoarse voice and a hunting breath.

"I know babe". My reply.

We also kissed back. James flicked over the skirt I was wearing, revealing my smooth, white thigh skin. James smiled mischievously as he stared at my sensitive area covered by a white cloth. I, embarrassed by his gaze, grabbed his neck and gave a naughty kiss on his neck to his chest. Something that had hardened at the bottom of James had entered my body. Makes me groan, enjoy his touch and movement. In this hot situation, even the AC was not able to cool our bodies that began to sweat. We enjoyed each other in James's black sedan. Without another window by a man.

James drove me home in front of the fence. The day showed at 7 p.m. The beam of street lights covered in trees made our gazes a little blurry. I kissed James at a glance and said goodbye. He did the same. I got out of the car and James moved slowly away from me who was still standing in front of the fence.

After the car was not seen lag I finally decided to enter the house.

Chequek.

I met my mother who was sitting in the living room. He was wearing casual clothes while wearing his reading glasses. Mom looked very serious looking at her phone without realizing my presence.

"Mom?". Call me who is sitting with him.

"ah! You've already come home. Who's in between?". Asked the half-struck mother to find my presence.

"James". My answer was short and gave a gesture 'what's with the phone he was looking at like that'.

"Ohh. Why not stop by?". Ask me to ignore my cue.

"She's in a hurry, ma'am, I'll play tomorrow". Reply happy.

"Other times. Tomorrow we will visit your grandfather's house, your cousin will celebrate his 5th birthday tomorrow". The light of the mother who looked back at the screen of her cellphone.

"Huh? Cousin??". Many wonder.

Since when do I have a cousin?!.

Mom looked at me with a shrunken forehead. It was as if I had forgotten something.

"Who's mom?". I asked to end this confusion.

"You forgot? Mother's foster sister? About Jacob?". Ask mommy back.

"Huh??". I was even more astonished by the look of disbelief hearing the words of mother.

"Here you go, I'll tell you later. You go take a shower and we have dinner. Mom's ready". Ask the mother who is now heading to her room.

I who did not understand our conversation just now was still trying to digest mother's words. I don't know why my brain has been shorting since coming out of the tutoring room. Plus this sudden mother statement.

I walked into the room while recalling my mother's story. Every now and then I massage my temples when my mind finds a dead end. The mother who was watching me from behind could only shake her head to look at my dazed behavior.
