More to come soon! (I just posted the next Chapter, FYI) I know what you feel about the train nearing a slow and dismal wreck. When I write, it's like stacking up a deck of cards and waiting for it to topple. I'll stop there

After dinner, Kyle and I set up shop upstairs in his den room. He asked me which 80’s classic I liked better: Farris Bueller’s Day Off or The Breakfast Club. I confessed that I’d always thought Mathew Broderick was pretty cute, and so Farris Bueller it was. I lay on the couch and Kyle fit in perfectly next to me, both of us nearly naked
I woke up Sunday morning with a clear head and an intense thirst. I rolled over. Tyler was still fast asleep next to me, his body curled peacefully. I watched him breathe for a few seconds, seeing his rib cage expand impossibly and contract beautifully. He looked downright perfect as he slept.
I sat up and felt the back of my head with my fingers. Where the blood had clotted was a thick scab that I wanted to pick, but knew better. I’d need two mirrors to see what damage had been done.
Smelled like bacon! how nice wud THAT be? :D
I went back and forth with that line a dozen times. Too cheesy, not too cheesy... too cheesy... not too cheesy. Verdict?
I woke up to the crackle of bacon and grease spitting into the air and it took me back to a completely different place. I wasn’t in the middle of the most beautiful nowhere in Texas. I was sitting in the living room of my mother’s brick home in East, Texas. The popping of the fatty meat reminded me of her Sunday mornings and her floral apron. Those Sunday mornings ended a million years ago. There were no Sunday mornings in Easton Park.
“He wakes,” Tyler said with a joy I’d never heard
I guess just because someone feels one way, or recognizes they should act one way, doesn't necessarily cause action to change. Thanks for the 'real' comment. With a story like this, especially, I'm always striving for that!
You caught me. Chapter 12 preview: Cooper and Kyle take an unexpected roadtrip across the country!
Back to topic: my curiosity isn't about the happy-go-lucky pairings. My question is what happens when two youngests get together? Is that a recipe for disaster?
