The Actor
A day in the life of a working predator actor.
content: fatal vore, implied digestion, willing prey, hunger, safe vore mentioned
The actor entered into their silver trailer and sat down on their faux leather couch (cruelty-free), lying back painfully, exhausted, looking up at the ceiling. That was a rough couple of hours.Â
They had just finished the swallowing scene, the one the director wouldnât budge on even though it was such a time sink, so much money and effort and agony for what, 2 seconds of footage that would actually be used in the final film?Â
The actorâs stomach growled irritably. It had been fed, and then unfed so many times it was now beyond confusion and hunger. The pred rubbed their stomach soothingly. It didnât know what was going on. The predâs body was not designed for this type of tomfoolery. In the past, in ancient times, once they had prey, they got to keep it. There was no messing around with spitting it back up again, only to consume it once more five minutes later.Â
The predâs stomach had gotten all the signals that it was supposed to be digesting a big meal, and the fact that it wasnât, meant that it was going to direct its energy; its anger, onto the pred.Â
What the stomach didnât know, the actor thought to themselves, was that doing this would ensure hundreds, if not thousands of prey in the future; the money they would make from this film could feed them for several lifetimes over. But this sort of thing was inconceivable to the simple animal that was the predatorâs stomach. All it knew was that it had been robbed. It never thought of the distant future, only the current and terrible emptiness and hunger for more - anything.Â
There was a metallic knock on the trailer door.
The actor straightened themselves up, âcome in,â
Their personal assistant arrived on the threshold.Â
âDonât tell me I have to go back out there,â the actor groaned.
âI have some appetite suppressants.â
âYou know those make me sick, besides, doesnât that go against the point of it all.â
These gruelling hours were at least partially manufactured by the directorâs desire to capture a genuine experience. They talked about it a lot, and it meant that they would force the pred to repeat the same scenes over and over until they grew exhausted and irritated and that would supposedly bring out their true predatory nature.
âTake three, Iâll tell them that this is your last round then youâre done for the day.â
âNo, donât tell them that, theyâll keep me out all night.â
âAccording to your contract, no. Theyâre only allowed one more hour with you today, and Iâll make sure they stick by it. Iâll have something waiting for you when you get home.â
âPrey?â the actor asked, barely concealing their excitement.Â
Their assistant scoffed, slightly amused, âwell yes.â
âAlright,â the pred laughed, stretching, âIâm just making sure youâre not throwing me a party or something. But going home to a nice, big prey⊠that sounds nice.â
âIâll see you out there,â the assistant said evenly.Â
âRight-oâ
Knowing what they had in store back at home, the pred was able to breeze through the next hour, much to the behest of the director who was determined to see them break under the pressure. They wanted hunger, they wanted animalism, madness, and they got it, but the pred was only acting. And once they heard âcutâ, the actor reverted back to their carefree selves. And they left exactly on the hour.
â
After the uber ride and the elevator ride, the actor unlocked the door to their penthouse apartment with a metal swipe card. Inside there was someone waiting, they could smell before they could see
Under the pink LED lights in an otherwise dark apartment, their prey waited for them. But when they saw the pred, they looked surprised.
âGood evening,â the actor said
âItâs you!â Their prey gasped.
The actor grinned, a little confused. âIt is me.â
Maybe the prey wasnât told whose apartment they were going to? They didnât know how this stuff worked - usually they just came in and ate the prey and nobody was surprised or asked questions or really said much at all. After all, it would be a bit strange to have a conversation with your doordasher. Or maybe the prey was more like the take-out that the delivery man provided. It would be even more strange to talk to your take-outs⊠which is exactly why the actor tended to avoid it.
âIâve always wanted to be eaten by you,â the prey said.
âReally?âÂ
âEver since I saw you in that old movie,â
Ah yes, the pred remembered their debut film. It was crazy, all the way back then. They had only just graduated highschool. It was a small project, they just happened to be one of the only preds that the director knew.Â
The movie became considered the first film to show a predator consuming prey on screen. Technically there were others, but this is the one that people heard about. And it made the pred famous.
âOh gosh, has it been ten years already?â
How interesting how that worked. Time, and knowing people. The prey had known about the actor for many, many years. Theyâd seen interviews and articles probably, they knew the pred as well as a friend might. And yet, the pred had never seen this prey before in their life.Â
âMaybe this is fate,â the actor said, âor manifested destiny.â
The pred felt a strong squeezing in their middle. The hunger pangs were peaking. But they felt the need to entertain their fan for a little while longer. They were after all, deep down, a performer.Â
âSorry if Iâm a bit off, Iâve had a terrible shooting experience. Iâm not sure what they told you, but I was made to swallow and spit up prey for most of the day.â
The prey consoled them, sympathetic, but they couldnât help but ask, âyouâre making another movie?â The implication being, another movie where the actor would eat prey on screen.Â
âYes,â the pred said, âI suppose you wonât get to watch it⊠thatâs a shame.â
The prey sighed. The pred grinned, âbut that also means that it wonât matter if I break my NDA, would it? After all,â they lowered their voice subtly, âyouâre going to be me soon anyway.â
The prey paled slightly. The pred moved gently but unyielding, taking their preyâs hand and putting it against their grumbling stomach. They began to describe the plot of the film to the prey, along with some insider knowledge about production that they were sure the prey was dying to know about.Â
As they talked, they were also sizing the prey up, considering where they would like to lie down after they had finished eating. The actorâs feet were sore, they didnât want to have to wander about with a full tummy. They slowly moved the prey towards the pit in the living room, a kind of sunken area that was like a circular couch with a large marble coffee table in the middle.Â
Once they were ready to eat, they already knew exactly how they would do it. Despite the years in between, the pred remembered the stage directions of their debut film perfectly.Â
They started by saying a few low words, a close up to the actors faces. Then the camera would pull back, so the audience could watch as the pred hoisted the prey up by both arms, then took them feet-first into their mouth. It watched the slow struggle, one long take (and they only made one take. The pred had to use all their focus to not fuck it up and look into the camera). Every gag, gulp and fidget of an inexperienced pred and an even more inexperienced prey. Although these days, the actor had plenty of experience. Especially after the day they had - their throat still burned from the repeated friction.Â
The actor sighed in relief once their meal had settled. They were about to lie down, but then realised they were still in their work clothes. They supposed it was unavoidable, having to walk around with a full stomach. Strangely enough, they felt a burst of energy, a bit of adrenaline - a second wind after eating. They supposed their stomach was ready to let it go again, so it wasnât about to get comfortable just yet. That was fine for the pred; they wanted to take a shower anyway.Â
The shower was steamy and well-pressurised, the towels were heated and soft, the robe waiting for them was softer. The actor passed by a hamper that they forgot they had, and selected from it a small box of assorted chocolates. Then they went back to the living room, balancing the box on top of their belly, and laid down in the pit.Â
Their stomach was starting to trust them again, âthere, see,â the predator said, caressing it gently, âall yours.â
The pred heard their prey murmur about something, and shift around. The pred frowned, then prodded their stomach curiously. It was always strange to hear their food try to talk from inside of them. A bit uncanny. Maybe it made them uncomfortable because if other people were around when it happened, theyâd act all sympathetic, wanting to make the pred let their prey out. And that was something the pred didnât even want to think about right now.Â
That wasnât going to happen now. The pred patted their gut proprietarily. The movement dislodged a belch, and their stomach grew tighter around their meal.Â
The actor turned on their television and chose a movie theyâd been waiting for a chance to see. A thriller. They took a candy from the box and ate it, eyes staying on the screen. As the opening sequence played, the actor took in a deep breath and sighed, relaxing more into the cushions. Theyâd had a big day, but now here they were, maybe all the hard work made moments like these more enjoyable. The pred kept a hand rested on their stomach, casually, restfully, but possessively. This one I get to keep.Â

Yesterday I had a great time in Wisconsin.
Early in the morning I cooked a traditional eggs and sausage breakfast. When I finished eating I walked around the campground, talking to people. I crossed paths with a lot of nice people this weekend. During my walk a group of campers were cooking eggs and bacon outside. Despite having just eaten a similar big breakfast the smell made me feel hungry again.
Eventually I drove to town to re-fill the propane tank. When I buy propane at home I pay a cashier first then show an attendant my receipt before he fills the tank. At the place in Wisconsin the owner (I think he was) came outside. I asked if I should pay before he filled or while he filled the tank.
"You can pay now if you want. Or you can talk with me while I fill the tank," he replied.
Being who I am, asked all sorts of questions about his experiences filling propane tanks while he filled mine. He seemed to genuinely appreciate my interest. There were no horror stories. He explained how he inspects the tank's date of manufacture and makes sure it's safe to re-fill. Back home I've never noticed the attendant pay much attention to the tank, nor is he into small talk either.
After that I went down the road to the place our friends own for a bloody Mary and a small pizza. I like the garnish in a separate glass and the chaser. I looked over several side-by-sides in the parking lot, including one flying two large American flags (the pictures at the top).
After lunch I returned to the campground -- and took a two hour nap. Why not. It felt like vacation. When I got up I met more people at the campground. It's been only two weekends but I'm very happy Sheila chose this place for a year.
Then I went on a bicycle ride. Because I was on some 45-55 MPH roads I wore a hi-viz jacket and had all my blinky lights going.
Almost everyone who drove towards me waived. Drivers who passed me gave wide berth. Two farmers on tractors subtly waved and nodded their heads my way. That made me smile. Approaching an Amish buggy, I figured the woman and boy in it might not appreciate my bright, flashy garb and blinking lights. But they smiled brightly and waved. That really made me grin.
In the evening I went to a different small town, the one I had been to the previous night. I was keen on having a beer at the bar that shares my first name.
First picture below is a sign on the way into town that I found amusing. Second picture is inside Mr. Bob's bar.
I should have taken a selfie, to show EXACTLY how many customers were in there at 6 PM. Later someone told me Mr. Bob's doesn't get busy until late at night. The bartender was a decent woman, but I felt she looked at me like "Why the heck are you here so early? Now I have to stop what I'm doing to serve you." It's not like I woke up the owner to serve me beer at 7 AM. I should have asked why they don't simply unlock the doors at 10 PM.
Since there was no one to chat with at Mr. Bob's I went around the corner to a taproom I had on my list of places to try. I was not disappointed.
There are 20 beers on tap. Not one of them has Light in the name. I chose a flight of four.
Next summer, sometime when Sheila drives, I plan to order the Dirty Knapp. It's served in that large, Swiss-cheese-looking circle below. For $48 you get a four-ounce beer from each of the 20 taps. That's five pints. I'm not a college student any more, but I think I can pull it off if I skip lunch and dinner :)
At the bar I sat with two other guys my age and a younger woman. The bartender was funny. The five of us laughed pretty hard while telling stories.
Because I had to drive back in the dark, along deer-infested county roads, I didn't drink any more beer after that flight. I was having so much fun talking to the others I didn't want to leave. So I tried some non-alcoholic drinks. I've seen hop water before, just never tried it. I liked it. It reminded me of some odd flavor of La Croix. I also had a non-alcoholic IPA. It tasted like real beer without making me buzzed.
To complete my night, some neighbors invited me to join them and their friends around a camp fire. More laughter and stories.
Fun times. I'm looking forward to going back a few more times before we have to winterize the trailer.

Anne de Bourgh is probably just sick
It really bothers me when people speculate that Anne isnât really sick or that she is a victim of Munchhausen's by proxy because it makes Lady Catherine a monster instead of a uppity busy-body. There is nothing in the text to indicate that Anne is even unhappy at home or feels stifled by her mother! She is presented as ill.
First of all, it was very common back then for people to be sickly. No modern medicine meant vaccine preventable diseases were running rampant many of which can cause lifelong complications (except smallpox, that vaccine was rolling out) and if you had something like a heart condition, no medication or surgery. There are many "sickly" people in history who are suspected of all sorts of conditions. Anne could suffer from something as simple as chronic anemia or from a congenital heart condition or many other things. Diagnosis lagged behind cures in many cases, for example, Type 1 Diabetes has been correctly diagnosed for hundreds of years but it was just a death sentence until they learned how to manufacture insulin.
Second, Anne is physically different from her family and shockingly so. Maria cries out in surprise, âOnly look at her. She is quite a little creature. Who would have thought she could be so thin and small!â Elizabeth later describes her thusly, âMiss de Bourgh was pale and sickly: her features, though not plain, were insignificantâ. Given that almost every other member of the Fitzwilliam family (Darcy, Georgiana, and Lady Catherine) are described as tall and âformidableâ, this indicates a long-standing illness.
Third, there is no evidence that Lady Catherine is in any way cruel or abusive towards her daughter. Anne has her little phaeton to ride around on, Lady Catherine brings people to play pianoforte and cards for her daughter's amusement, and she has a round the clock health attendant, Mrs. Jenkinson. She seems excessively concerned about Anne's health, which wouldn't help to fake keep her sick, "except when Mrs. Jenkinson expressed her fears of Miss de Bourghâs being too hot or too cold, or having too much or too little light" and "Mrs. Jenkinson was chiefly employed in watching how little Miss de Bourgh ate, pressing her to try some other dish, and fearing she was indisposed,"
Fouth, Anne if anything, seems like a Lady Catherine mini-me than a poor stifled child. She makes Charlotte stand outside to talk to her, which Elizabeth calls rude. She also is a tyrant over her guests:
Miss De Bourgh chose to play at cassino, the two girls had the honour of assisting Mrs. Jenkinson to make up her party.... When Lady Catherine and her daughter had played as long as they chose
In Mansfield Park, Mrs. Grant makes a big pretense of wanting to play whist for her husbandâs sake but making it seem like the guestsâ choice. Both Anne and Lady Catherine choose without reference to their guests and they play for as long as they want.
But mostly, why in the world would Lady Catherine make her daughter sick if her life goal is to have Darcy marry Anne? Who is going to marry someone who looks like they will die in a stiff wind? Lady Catherine's probably relying on family duty because she knows her daughter is basically unmarriageable. She's frail! She can't even play piano much less run Pemberley, and Lady Catherine is aware of that which is why her only chance is hinting at her nephew and yelling at women he dares to propose to!
Now is it possible that Lady Catherine is treating Anne with something that makes her more ill? Certainly. But that would be an honest mistake and not malicious. Also, we see in Sense & Sensibility that the doctor tries a new remedy when the last fails, so I think it is more probable that Lady Catherine would have gone though many treatments and many doctors, all of whom have failed or maybe resulted in very small improvements.
Anne de Bourgh being an only child and a sickly one is Lady Catherineâs only sympathetic feature. It seems more likely to me that the reason Lady Catherine tries to control and advise others is because the only thing she canât change is Anne. If Lady Catherine is inflicting this illness on Anne she just becomes an irrational monster. Itâs far more likely that Lady Catherine is deeply disappointed that she canât present Anne at court and parade her around.
People with MbyP usually want to be praised for taking care of their child. Not so with Lady Catherine. The compliments Lady Catherine appreciates are Mr. Collins saying itâs sad Anne canât be out. She assures people that if Anne was well she would have been awesome. This points more to disappointed hopes than wanting to be seen as a supermom.
MbyP is also super rare. It's far more likely that Anne is just sick or is a result of too many cousins marrying cousins, or is a contrast to healthy, vibrant Elizabeth. Jane Austen also LOVES writing hypochondriacs and when she does, it is always very clear but Anne de Bourgh is presented as just sickly.
Additional Note: The JAFF trope where Elizabeth, uneducated girl that she is, knows what is wrong with Anne/knows the treatment is hurting her is just kind of laughable. If anything she would say something like, âYou shouldnât bleed her, mercury is the way to go.â  Also Lady Catherine would probably laugh in her face and ask her for some credentials.
#anne de bough#lady catherine#people seem to want the villains to be BLACK#Lady Catherine is just a busy body#who is probably sad that her daughter isn't more awesome#it gives her humanity#jane austen#pride and prejudice

Closed starter for @6am-saveme
It was practically a tradition at this point for Freddy and Bonnie to spend a day at the amusement park shortly after the Bunnie family's annual trip. As much as the freckled bassist loved spending time with his siblings, he always ended up watching the younger ones that were too short to ride all the big, intense roller coasters. Mom and Dad took the triplets and Brielle around kiddie land, whereas Brent, Bridgette, and Bibi ran off to go ride all the stuff Bonnie wanted to, leaving the responsible teenager to keep an eye on the fellow middle children. That's why he and Freddy always went back: to give Bonnie the chance to ride what he missed out on.
Bonnie absolutely loved it, because who wouldn't want to spend the day at the amusement park with their best friend?! Especially since he didn't get to ride the park's new giga coaster, Night Train. While it didn't have any inversions, he'd heard nothing but good things about this ride, and it was even made by one of his favorite manufacturing companies, so he knew that the restraints would be nice and comfortable. Bonnie had been geeking out about this coaster for months before it opened, so naturally, standing in line to ride it was a hard thing for the brunette to do.
"I am literally so excited for this."

what is a children's railway? is it some sort of an amusement ride where kids can participate?
A children's railway is the coolest thing ever. Trains in general are always cool, but this type is special because it's used and operated mainly by children.
Essentially, it's a miniature train system (usually in the park) with its own looped narrow-gauge railroad, a real, completely functional train with several cars, and two or three stations. Often, the train is manufactured specifically for the children's railway or even made by enthusiasts, so it's unique in this aspect too.
There are adults present for safety, but kids get to try most of the railroad professions, from the station attendant to locomotive driver. In winter, they undergo training, visit real train stations, make models, etc. Then in summer, they practice working in different roles and eventually driving passengers around. Children that finished the entire 4 year course also get easier entry into further professional education, at least in Russia.
Children's railways originated in the USSR in the 1930s and became pretty popular both within the union and in other socialist countries. Because, again, trains are cool, little trains operated by kids are even cooler, and the state gets several thousands future railroad workers guaranteed every year. But they can be really costly and demanding, and trying to get more profit veers dangerously into child labour exploitation. That's why, in the 90s, a lot of these railways have been closed or converted into amusement rides, unless they were backed by the government.
Luckily for Russia, our railroad company keeps all 52 Soviet children's railways running and has even built several more, so that's a W. If you visit in summer, check out if your city have this ride and give it a try.

The scent of fireworks sits thickly in the air--it has all day, from the moment you woke up to the first few distinct pop-pop-pop-popâs from the neighbors front yard. You like the smell of fireworks: gunpowder thatâs been manufactured for wide public consumption. It makes you think of dank swimsuits and overcooked hotdogs and sitting on your daddyâs shoulders.
âFilly? You up, honey?â Your mama asks, knocking on your door.Â
She knows you are, though--youâre always up before ten on the 4th of July, even when you were little. 4th of July was like Christmas to you; you couldnât wait to put on your little shorts and run through Color Bombs.Â
âYeah,â you answer softly, blinking up at the ceiling. âIâll be out in a minute, mama.âÂ
Your mama just nods, hand hesitating by the handle. She knows better, really, than to go into your room without your explicit invitation. Youâve never really liked her in there--not since she made you take all your paper horses off the walls. She supposes, in some ways, youâre still punishing her. Youâre bull-headed like that.Â
âYou want orange juice?â Your mama asks again, letting her hand fall to her side.Â
âSure,â you answer, voice thin.Â
You canât stomach anything. Youâre nervous--that belly-churning, palm-sweating kind of nervous. Your mama makes you butter-drenched toast and you throw it in the trash when sheâs not looking. You ride on the back of your daddyâs motorcycle to the firework stand with your belly aching, your ears ringing. You smile and nod when your daddy points to different ones he would buy if he had more money.Â
It isnât even that youâre not used to this--everything thatâs happening so far today, even the unrelenting sunshine and the muddy grass from the past few days of rain--is achingly normal. This is how every 4th of July has gone for you. You and your daddy go to firework stands the day-of to get the best deals, you set some shit off in the front yard, you wait all day for night to come.Â
The only difference is that today youâre going to have sex for the first time. It shouldnât feel like a big deal--thatâs what you tell yourself. Itâs nothing. Itâs just sex. Thatâs all, thatâs it. And, logically, youâre sure thatâs true.Â
It gives you fleeting solace, only for a few moments. But still--you canât calm down, not permentantly.Â
Your daddy notices--because heâs always noticing you--when the two of you are sitting on the front stoop just before dark. Only an hour before youâre supposed to meet Jake. Thereâs a bucket full of water sitting before you and your daddy is smoking a cigarette as he lights little firecrackers and tosses them into the water, where they promptly explode beneath the surface and make the water spurt up and out. Heâs taking long drags, watching your listless stare, watching your fingernail disappear between your teeth.Â
âNeed a smoke, spitfire?â He asks.Â
You glance at him, squinting beneath the sunset. And then you shake your head softly. You know that if you start smoking now, you wonât be able to stop.Â
Your daddy isnât one to press. So, he nods.Â
He flicks his trusty silver zippo again, just to have something to do.Â
Heâs paused throwing the firecrackers in the water--he knows you arenât amused. Something in his chest feels tight because of it; this used to be your favorite thing to do on the 4th. You used to stay outside all day, punks in your hands, hair unbrushed, teeth coated in bomb-pop, little legs covered in mosquito bites.Â
Now, here you are, eighteen-years-old. All long limbs and crazy hair, the prettiest kind of despondent expression on your face. Youâre the kind of pretty that just ainât fair--you arenât even trying. You look like your mama did--except by the time she was eighteen, youâd already been around for a fair while, hanging all over your daddy and causing trouble.
âYou gonna tell me whatâs on your mind?â He asks gently. He still isnât pushing--itâs a genuine question. ââCause you better do it while your mamaâs out of earshot.âÂ
You hone in on the precise moment youâre in: the distant popping of firecrackers, the crickets crooning, the bullfrogs singing in their misplaced ponds in the flooded grass, the gunpowder sitting so readily beneath your nostrils, the mosquitos clouding your face, the scent of your daddyâs cigarette.Â
âMâfine,â you tell him, holding your cheek in your palm as you look at your daddy. Heâs still flicking his zippo, puffing his cigarette, eyeing you. âTired, I guess.âÂ
He nods.Â
âDidnât sleep well?âÂ
You lie--shaking your head.
âNah.âÂ
âShame,â your daddy says softly. âUsually beinâ tired donât make you lose your appetite, Filly-billy.âÂ
Busted.Â
You never try to bullshit your dad and in turn, he never tries to bullshit you.Â
âIâm nervous about somethinâ,â you admit. You warily make eye contact with him, your mouth a serious flat line. âAnd thatâs all Iâm gonna say about it, alright?âÂ
Your daddy nods, adjusting the hat on his head and stubbing his cigarette on the concrete youâre sitting on.Â
âAre you in trouble?â He asks gently. You shake your head. âIs someone gonna hurt you?â He asks. You shake your head. âIs it somethinâ I can fix?â You shake your head again. âIs it the reason youâre wearinâ makeup?â
Swallowing hard, you nod.Â
Itâs quiet for a moment.Â
You and your daddy look out over the shitty front yard youâve always had, the one that floods too easily but somehow always has yellow grass. Up and down the street, the neighbor kids are lighting Color Bombs and writing their names with Sparklers. People are starting to gather their six-packs and their lawn chairs to stake out on the curb, bellies full of barbecue ribs and potato salad. The lightning bugs are starting to float across the air as the heat begins to die, elegant and sporadic.Â
If someone were to look at your front porch right now, if someone were to see this tired-looking cowboy sitting next to the young girl in the dress with finger-applied makeup, would they ever know how close the two of you are? That just admitting to your daddy that youâre nervous about something has made your gut settle?
âYou gonna be alright?â He asks you seriously.
You nod, sniffling.Â
âUh huh,â you tell him. You know you are. Youâre just nervous.Â
âYou gonna be somewhere you can call me if you ainât alright?âÂ
You told your parents you were going to Ennis with Ruth for the annual parade, then staying the night at her house. But you donât bullshit your daddy.Â
âYeah, daddy,â you say quietly.
He nods, chewing on his lower lip.Â
âNeed any cash?â He asks--because he always, always asks.
You shake your head.Â
âNo, daddy.â
âWell,â he says, sighing. âYou ainât gettinâ off that easy. One Roman Candle before you leave--no ifâs, andâs, or butâs about it.âÂ
It makes you laugh and your daddy relaxes, elbowing your ribs and standing up with a heave. He lights up another smoke, kicks the bucket of water over into the grass, and winks at you.Â
Your daddy has you stand in the middle of the street--telling all the little neighbor kids to back up, winking at all the old grannyâs that sit in their lawn chairs with their plates of apple pie--and puts the Roman Candle in your hands, grinning at you.Â
âAlright, girly. You âmember how to do it?âÂ
You roll your eyes--you shoot off Roman Candles every year.Â
âUh huh,â you lip.Â
Your daddy grins, cigarette dangling out of his mouth. Then he promptly takes his trusty hat off, plops it down on your head, smooths his curls, and lights your candle.Â
âRun like Hell!â He teases. âGiddy on up!â
You roll your eyes and take a few paces down the street, further away from everyone. And all your neighbors, these people that have always been in these trailers, clap and holler for you as you curtsey for them.Â
The candle shoots off more elegantly than you remember--the little powderkegs are smooth as they burst out of the tube and into the dusk above you, bursting in the dark blue sky in flashes of neon pink. They fizzle before hitting the street.Â
And, sure, itâs beautiful. But itâs nothing new.Â
What is drawing your attention right now, what is making your belly settle finally, is all the little neighbor kids hooting and hollering. Theyâre vibrating with excitement, amusement written all over their features, jumping up and down in their hand-me-downs and clapping their hands. Theyâve abandoned their bicycles and their poopsicles, stuck their punks in the damp ground and forgotten about their Tanks and Confetti Poppers. All that matters to them in their little lives is the pretty girl in the dress holding the Roman Candle, lighting up their dinky street with bright pink. Itâs the closest to magic theyâve ever seen probably.Â
Your daddy, arms crossed over his chest and heels of his boots pressed into the asphalt, watches you grin at all the neighbor kids. He wonders, for a moment, just when you grew up. You and Jake used to be those neighbor kids, sticky with popsicles, sick with pie, throwing color bombs at each other, tackling each other in the mud. Now your face is alight with joy, pink dazzling your glassy eyes, a grin fighting its way on your lips.Â
He thinks, even just right now, that youâre the best thing heâs ever done with his life.
Jakeâs sitting in Rusty, holding onto the steering wheel, making sure that everythingâs in order. The gas tank is full, the oilâs been changed, the key isnât jamming, and Jake even splurged and bought one of those tree-shaped air fresheners to hang from the rear-view mirror. It hasnât done much to mask the scent of marijuana and beer, but itâs the thought that counts.Â
These days, since everything that happened with Emmaline, Jake is more pensive about everything. Heâs doing his best to try and forget about it all, avoiding bringing Emmaline up in any capacity--Hell, even avoiding anything related to babies--but itâs been weighing heavily on his mind.Â
The only thing thatâs taken all that away is you. You sitting on the handlebars of his bike after a shift at the ice cream parlor, you laying in his bed and flipping through old comic books while he tosses a baseball up and catches it, you kissing him dumb in your backyard after a summer shower, all that citrus on your skin, all that warmth in your throat. Itâs the only time he feels okay.Â
If you know that something is wrong, you donât show it. And Jake tries his damndest to be normal around you. No more crying in your bed as you hold him, which you havenât brought up yet. Heâs thankful that you havenât--he thinks itâs very graceful of you. He loves you for it.
Heâs been looking forward to today for what feels like his entire life. And heâs decided that he isnât going to let anything stop tonight from being perfect. He has to soak it all in--every bit of it. Heâs not gonna think about Emmaline or being a dad or going to college or playing baseball. Heâs gonna think about you--just you, only you.Â
He has until the end of the summer.
So, when he glances at the rearview mirror and suddenly sees you standing at the edge of the driveway with an old grocery bag disguised as an overnight bag in your hands, his shoulders immediately go slack.Â
Youâre smiling softly at him, toeing the loose asphalt at the end of the drive. Your heart is racing.Â
But then he gets out of the truck and grins at you--that Jake grin, the one that could light up the darkest part of the ocean, the one that spreads across his entire body--and your body goes slack with peace.Â
âHey, Filly-girl,â Jake greets. He crosses his arms, nods to the truck. âLike my ride?â
You nod, playing along, pretending like youâve never seen Rusty before.Â
âSheâs pretty special,â you tell him, swiping your fingers across the rust as you near him. âHow many miles she got on her?âÂ
Jake holds his hands on his hips.Â
âOnly five,â he says.Â
You gasp.Â
âBut thatâs how many miles it is from here to the dealership!â
He nods.Â
âOnly the best for you,â he tells you, patting Rusty.Â
And thatâs when you finally meet him just outside the driverâs side door, when you press your chest against his, when youâre close enough for him to smell those oranges. He takes your bag, sets it in the truck, then moves to hold your waist. You begin to tense, glancing at the trailer behind him, but he shakes his head.Â
âTheyâre all at the Bennet familyâs compound,â he tells you. âNo oneâs home.âÂ
So, you sink into him. Itâs silly, almost, that the two of you are hugging. But you are. Itâs just what feels right in this moment, what feels natural. It feels right to wrap you up in his arms, sink his nose in your hair, and hold still. Thatâs all he ever really wants to do with you, anyway. Just hold still.Â
âGotâŠeverythinâ?â You ask, voice muffled from his chest.Â
Heat pools in your cheeks. This is the first time youâve felt nervous--or embarrassed--about anything relating to sex. This just feels so much bigger than anything youâve ever done.Â
âUh huh,â he answers.
He made the drugstore run earlier today: condoms and lube. He didnât even care that the checkout lady was eyeing him up. He was just buzzing for the night to come.Â
And now itâs here. Itâs happening. Â
That logical part of you, the one that knows having a penis inside of you probably wonât change you as a person, wants to maintain complete composure. But then thereâs that other part of you, the very little one, who feels like this is the end and the beginning of something. Â
âYou wanna do this still? I know it probably ainât all that fun, like, doinâ it with a virgin.â
Youâre giving him an out.Â
He knows that.Â
He breathes in all of you--the firecracker in your hair, the oranges on your skin, the sweat on your hairline.Â
âI wanna.âÂ
The motel isnât the nicest--not that youâre used to nice motels. Youâre not even really used to motels at all. Youâve only stayed in a handful in your life, and most of the time they were on the side of the highway and their only form of room service were the vending machines out front.Â
âIt ainât the Ritz or anythinâ,â Jake says as he sticks the key in the doorknob, a flush covering his cheeks.Â
You nod.Â
âHey, I just found out the Ritz is a hotel a few weeks ago,â you tell Jake with a small smile, bumping his hip.Â
He raises his eyebrow at you, opening the door and nodding for you to go through.Â
There isnât hesitation in your body when you float over the threshold, still holding your overnight bag.Â
âOnly a week ago?â Jake asks, a bit disbelieving. âFilly, how did you graduate high school?âÂ
He watches you walk into the room, a smile tugging at his lips as he closes the door behind him and locks it.Â
âWith honors,â you answer softly. âAnd without studyinâ.âÂ
âNever gonna stop throwinâ that in my face, huh?â He asks, leaning against the door.Â
Biting your lip, you look at him over your shoulder.Â
âI wouldnât count on it.âÂ
The room is ground-level, the uncrowded pool visible from the one picture window in the room. The bedspread looks like itâs seen better days--it's an atrocious floral print something your grandma would want on a couch. Thereâs sparse furniture, just an old television, an older television stand, a desk, and a nightstand with a lamp and a bible on it.Â
Itâs very cold in here, the window unit working overtime. It feels good. God, you love air conditioning. You think it should be illegal to not have it in every place you go.Â
Jake sets your bags on the floor beside the bed, watching you take it all in. Youâre swiping your fingers along the bedspread, looking at the outdated art on the walls, pressing your palms into the pillows. His breath is bated when you wander over to the window and peer out--itâs dark now, but the sky is purple from smoke. You can still hear all the ruckus of the holiday, but itâs muffled now.
âItâs cold,â you say finally, voice a bit thin.Â
Jake wanders up behind you, rests his chin on the top of your head. You two gaze out the window together, watching the pool lazily ripple in the wind. It feels like the two of you are the only ones here right now, even though the parking lot had a few cars.Â
âFeels nice, donât it?â He asks.Â
You nod at once.Â
A beat passes.Â
âThings arenât gonna change, are they?â You ask, a bit breathless.
Jake blinks.Â
Fuck.Â
He wishes you wouldnât ask that. He wishes that he wouldnât have to lie to you. He wishes he even knew what he wanted. Does he want things to change? Does he want to admit that heâs in love with you, to have a few blissful weeks with you, then have them all come crumbling down when you find out? Does he want to keep living in this limbo, the one where you love him and he loves you but neither of you say it? Does he want to admit it to you, run off to Austin with you, and never talk to anyone from Silverkeep again?Â
He doesnât know.Â
âEverythinâ will be the same,â he tells you.Â
You pretend like you canât hear the dishonesty in his voice. Itâs something youâve been doing for a little while now, ever since he came into your room after seeing Hyde. Except youâre not really sure he was seeing Hyde at all--but youâre too afraid to ask him what made him cry.Â
âOkay,â you whisper. Â
And then you reach up, very slowly, and close the blinds. Itâs a silent gesture, one you donât need to use words for. It feels like a brave thing to do, to be the one to break the ice, to be the one that initiates things.Â
Jake knows this. He does. So, he leans down, and presses his lips against your jaw.Â
âItâs all gonna be alright,â he tells you softly, kissing a steady line across your jaw as he wraps his arms around you. He isnât sure if heâs convincing you or himself--and heâs not even sure if itâs working. âSwear it.âÂ
You nod, swallowing thickly, lashes fluttering against your cheek.Â
âAlright,â you tell him. âYeah.âÂ
He leads you to the bed, his heart settling steadily in his chest.Â
There is no shame as the two of you undress in front of each other. Itâs you and itâs him, your skin familiar, your nakedness exciting but not groundbreaking. You stand on opposite sides of the bed, watching each other with soft eyes, as the radio in the corner plays Secret Garden by Bruce Springsteen.Â
The lights are low and it smells like chlorine and oranges in here, something that will stain your memory of this night forever. You donât know it, and neither does Jake, but anytime you smell the stink of pool chemical from this point forward--youâll think of this precise moment. Youâll think of that pause after the two of you undress, that strange calmness that overwhelmed the two of you, the hum of the air conditioner, Bruce Springsteen in the background.Â
Itâs all so American, you think. Losing your virginity on the 4th of July.
Your body still makes Jakeâs belly clench. Itâs everything--everything. All those hills and valleys, the endless plane of skin, those familiar scars, that birthmark on your rear. He feels like he could know your body better than anyone else if you let him.Â
And you still think that his cock is pretty--but you know better now than to say anything about it. Heâs already grown so tan from working on the farm, already developed those muscles from baling hay and lunging horses. He is a sight to behold--something you would photograph and keep forever if he let you.Â
âI think youâre beautiful, Filly,â Jake tells you, meeting your eyes.Â
Heat pools in your chest and you blink a few times, overwhelmed by how badly you want to kiss him right now.Â
He feels it coming before you say it.Â
âWould you shut the Hell up and kiss me already?âÂ
That soft bubble has popped now, broken and gone away.Â
He breaks out in a grin and pats the bed, nodding for you to climb on. You meet each other in the center of the double bed, which is definitely more accommodating than the twin beds youâre used to.Â
You wrap your arms around his shoulders, still flustered but fighting it off tooth and nail, and he holds your naked waist, thumbing the goosed skin there.Â
âI mean it,â Jake says, pushing his luck.Â
When your nose wrinkles, when your lips part, he presses his lips to yours.Â
Itâs a good kiss--one that knocks the breath out of your lungs. His lips on yours, his fingers dipping into your skin, holding you like youâre going to fade away.Â
For a moment, as your tongue comes into his mouth, as your hands move into his hair--he thinks it. Maybe you are going to fade away. Maybe he needs to soak in each and every moment of this. Maybe he needs to hold you tighter, keep you closer.Â
He does hold you tighter--so tight that you groan quietly into his mouth. But youâre tough, youâre not going to complain. It excites you almost--thinking about him wanting you so bad that he bruises you with his touch. Itâs a dizzying thought, one that makes all the blood in your body shoot down, down, down.Â
He moves away from your mouth, kisses hotly down your throat, relishes in the pants falling from your mouth and heaving your chest. Your skin is still chilled, but you both know that it wonât be for long.Â
âLie back, huh?â He mumbles against your skin, already pushing the soft skin of your belly until youâre falling back into the pillows. âYeah,â he whispers, as if confirming to both of you that this is how he wants you.Â
Still on his knees over you, he takes a moment to admire your body laid out just for him. Those red finger-shaped marks on your waist, the gooseflesh on your belly, the mess of your hair, the poorly-applied makeup, the part of your lips, the wideness of your eyes.Â
Youâre everything. Youâre fucking everything to him.Â
âStop starinâ,â you whine, already breathless. You reach up, tap his chest with your foot, brows furrowed. âItâs rude!âÂ
He smiles.Â
âYouâre starinâ, too,â he argues.Â
Youâre flustered again, rolling your eyes. You were staring at his cock, heâs right. You just admire it--the way it floods with life and grows harder, the way it tells you how badly he wants you.Â
But then Jake puts you out of your misery and leans down, pressing a chaste kiss to your lips before kissing down your throat, down between your breasts. He reaches up, teaks your nipples, sighs into your skin when you arch your back off the bedspread and groan softly. He wants to remember that sound, the one you arenât embarrassed about, the one that makes his cock twitch to life.Â
When he closes his lips around your nipple, his breath warm and his tongue hot, you sigh out a sound that is heavenly. He can feel it in the space between your ribs--all the pleasure that lives there, all the goodness heâs invoking.
A fire is already lit in your belly, the window-unit already entirely forgotten now. You feel like Jake is the only person in the world who can make you so hot, so fast. Youâre wet already--almost embarrassingly so. But just the heaviness of his body on yours, just his fingers around one of your nipples, just his teeth barely grazing your other nipple, just him between your legs--itâs enough to get you off almost.Â
âThatâs real good,â you mutter to him, all the heat in your face concentrated in your cheeks. âFuck--I like that a lot.âÂ
He hums against you, moving to your other nipple, giving it the same treatment.Â
Youâre almost shivering by the time he kisses down your belly, holding firm to your hips. Just in anticipation for whatâs to come, youâre lifting your lips off the bed, throwing your arms over your face as you tilt your heavy head into the pillows.Â
âYou want this?â Jake asks softly, glancing up at you through his lashes.Â
You nod, swallowing dryly.Â
âReal bad,â you mutter.Â
He has his arms wrapped around your thighs, his face hovering your heat, each one of his breaths tortuous in the most gratifying of ways. Youâre beautiful spread out for him, panting above him. This is how he feels like you should always be had--on a bed big enough for the two of you, in a room where youâre alone, not a stitch on your body. Itâs what you deserve.Â
âWill you look at me?â Jake asks softly.Â
God, your head is spinning.Â
But you listen to him, slowly move your arm away from your face and let your eyes fall down to meet his. And thatâs precisely when he lets his mouth fall onto your clit.Â
It takes everything in your body, the one heâs made so hot, to not let your eyes fall shut. You keep your wide eyes on his green ones and he languidly licks down your wetness, savoring the taste of you thick on his tongue.Â
âShit,â you whimper, shoulders quivering.
You reach blindly for purchase, gripping the ugly bedspread. But then Jake grabs your hands and leads them to his hair, which you take to like a tick on a dog. He likes the pain, kind of--when you pull too hard, when he knows heâs doing something very right.Â
He sucks gently on your clit, lets his free hand wander down between your legs. He grazes the sensitive skin of your innermost thighs and a shiver races up your spine.Â
âThis okay?â He asks, panting, as his index finger circles your entrance.Â
âFuck, yeah,â you mutter. âDonât stop.âÂ
You let him in with ease, wet and soft around him. Heâs careful, pumping in and out of you as he suckles at your clit, incredibly mindful that youâre still a virgin. You donât take your eyes away from his, your jaw set and your legs tense.Â
He thinks he could cum from this, from watching you take him so well. Even just knowing heâs going to have sex with you makes him dizzy.Â
When a second finger nudges at your entrance, you nod vehemently, brow creased with pleasure. He keeps sucking on your clit, keeps it up until his jaw is aching. He presses into you so perfectly, hits that spot deep inside of you, makes your vision explode in bursts of pink--just like the Roman Candles.Â
Jake wants it to last forever.Â
But after twenty minutes, youâre the one tapping out, almost blubbering.Â
âI want you,â you tell him, voice dripping with desire. âPlease, please.âÂ
Who is he to deny you?Â
So, he straightens up, kisses your belly again. And as you lie on the bed, so turned on that you feel like you could be turned inside out, he leans over and digs into the pharmacy bag for the condoms.Â
âRibbed for her pleasure?â You laugh softly, eyeing the box in his hands.Â
He flushes--but laughs anyway, tearing the box open and fishing a packet out. He grabs the lube, too, places it on the bed.Â
âIâm a gentleman,â he says softly.Â
Then he rips the condom open with his teeth, and pulls it out of the packet carefully. This is the part heâs worried most about--he has to be careful with this condom.Â
He starts to roll it on, cheeks hot, but then you hold his wrist.Â
âShow me,â you say softly. âI wanna do it.âÂ
Itâs something that would maybe make other people feel awkward. But youâre not ashamed to ask, not ashamed to tell him that you want to learn how to put condoms on.
âOkay,â he says softly, angling towards you so you can see him fully. âYou gotta make sure itâs, like, the right way. And I made sure it is, so then you justâŠroll it on.âÂ
You sit up on your knees, leaning down, holding his cock in your hands. He moans lowly at your hand wrapped around him, dizzy with pleasure, dizzy with the taste of your cunt on his tongue.Â
Keening at his sounds, you press a few kisses to his shaft, pumping him a couple times. Heâs hard--a feeling, a heaviness, youâve grown to enjoy immensely.Â
âFuck,â he whispers. âJesus, Filly.âÂ
You roll the condom on without much issue, smiling pridefully once itâs fully intact. He shows you how to use lube, too, lets you pump him a few good times before you meet each otherâs eyes.
This is it. You two are about to have sex for the first time.Â
âSoâŠhow do weâŠ?âÂ
Jake swallows.Â
âHow do you want it?â He asks, his ears ringing.Â
You shrug.Â
âI literally donât know.âÂ
He grins at that, laughing softly. He nods, brows furrowed.Â
âDo you wanna be, like, on top?â He asks. âIt might be, like, easier for you to control it.â
Now your throat is dry.Â
âYeah. Yeah, okay.âÂ
Thereâs a bit of shuffling, him lying on his back, you sitting on your knees beside him. But then you fall back into the moment: he holds your thigh, helps you straddle him. He steadies you with his hands on your hips, lets his thumb press against your hip bone.Â
Above him, his cock achingly near your cunt, youâre nervous for the first time. This is really happening--youâre not going to be the virgin left behind. Youâre going to have sex with Jake and things are gonna be good. Everythingâs gonna be okay.Â
He watches your brows knit, watches you chew on your lower lip.Â
So, he reaches up, cups your cheek.Â
âYâalright, Filly-girl?âÂ
You nod at once.Â
âSurreal,â is all you whisper.Â
He nods, swallows hard.Â
âYeah. It is.âÂ
A beat passes where youâre still just hovering over him, your heat making his cock strain against you just barely.Â
âYou want this?â You ask softly.Â
He looks deep into your eyes, lets the room fall silent enough for him to hear the fireworks still going off distantly. And then he nods.Â
âMore than anythinâ,â he tells you.Â
So, with all the sureness of someone who has done this precisely zero times, you reach down and let the head of his cock press against your opening. And fuck--thereâs a stretch, a burn. It surprises you, even after all the horror stories youâve heard. Your brows knit again, hips squirming, and Jake--through grit teeth--says your name.Â
âSlow,â he tells you quietly. âSâalright. Weâve got-got all night. Take it easy.âÂ
You nod, lip tucked between your teeth.Â
âOkay,â you mumble, brows still knit. âItâŠhurts a little bit.âÂ
He nods, squeezing your hips.Â
âDo you wanna stop? We can, we donât gotta--!âÂ
You shake your head furiously, sinking down on him a bit further. He gasps out, head thrown back into the pillows.Â
Good God, you feel better than he expected you to. Like you were meant for him.Â
But he reigns it in, makes himself meet your gaze.
âSâalright,â he soothes. He squeezes your hips again, nodding. âLetâs just do it at our own pace, okay? No rushinâ, nothinâ like that. You okay?âÂ
You nod again.Â
âIs this alright?â He asks, cupping your breast, tweaking your nipple again.Â
Pleasure sweeps across your chest, momentarily making you forget about the stretch of his cock. You just nod wordlessly and he sighs, relieved to give you some sort of gratification.Â
âGood, good,â he mutters, voice strained. âWanna make you feel good.âÂ
You sink again, just another inch. But then youâre gasping, letting your head fall forward, pressing your palms against his chest. Itâs not the worst pain youâve ever felt--but itâs a new kind of discomfort, one of just being full.Â
âYou okay?â Jake asks again, still tweaking your nipple.Â
You nod again.Â
âIâm gonnaâŠIâm gonna go all the way down,â you tell him, eyes closed tight.Â
He nods tucking your hair behind your ears, preparing himself for whatâs about to come.Â
âDoinâ real good,â he praises, lashes fluttering as you sink all the way down and sit flush on his body. He moans out, head heavy and muddled with gratification.Â
Jesus Christ--heâs having sex with you. This is it. This is what heâs been dreaming about, what heâs been aching for all summer. Itâs happening right here, right now.
âFuck,â you whimper. âOkay. Can-can we just sit here for a sec?âÂ
He nods immediately.Â
âWeâll sit here all night if you want,â he tells you, really meaning it.Â
While youâre stilled, your head lolled to the side as you grow accustomed to this new fullness, he watches you. God, he thinks youâve never looked more beautiful. Youâre somehow tame right now--tamer than you usually are--but you still look like a wild thing. Those glossy lips, those long lashes, those teeth chewing your cheek.Â
Because he canât help it, he holds your cheek, strokes the corner of your eye with his thumb. His thumb is wet--youâre crying he realizes.Â
âHey,â he says, alarmed. âHey, whyâre you cryinâ? You alright? Do you wanna--here, Iâll stop, we can stop--!âÂ
But youâre shaking your head again, keeping him still, chasing his hand cupping your cheek.Â
âNo, no,â you whisper. âNo, itâs--itâs starting to feel good. Just give me a second, okay?âÂ
He nods.Â
Youâre not lying--the burn is beginning to retreat, a strange pleasure taking its place. It feels less pronounced than when he sucks your clit or moves his fingers inside of you--but itâs definitely where, itâs something thatâs growing.
âHere,â Jake offers, hand sinking from your breast to where youâre connected, âwhat if I--?âÂ
He presses two fingers to your clit, very gently, and rubs a few small circles--just testing the waters. You moan, those pearls of pleasure rattling your spine and forcing your fingernails into his skin.Â
âYeah?â He whispers, watching your face carefully as it contorts with pleasure. âYeah, thatâs it. You like that?âÂ
You nod, chewing your bottom lip again.Â
âMm, thatâs really good,â you tell him, nodding profusely. âOh, God, thatâs--Jesus, thatâsâŠâÂ
Youâre moving now, on your own accord, experimentally. You lift yourself up, then fall back down carefully. And itâs good--that stretch is still there, but you barely feel it when Jake is rubbing slow circles over your clit.Â
âYeah,â Jake breathes, chest blooming with heat. âOh, fuck, you feel so good.â
You moan, his words bubbling up in your belly.Â
âFuck, this is--why didnât we do this forever ago?â You ask, stabilizing yourself on his chest and moving up and down steadily. Your face is hot, body electrified right now. âJake, we shouldâve been doinâ this always.âÂ
Heâs grinning, his chest growing tight with pleasure, but heâs focused on you. He wants you to feel good. He wants this to be good for you. And even though heâs fucked up a whole lot recently, he knows he can be good for you. He can make this good.Â
âI dunno,â he whispers, watching your throat flex as you groan. âJesus--we really shouldâve, huh?âÂ
You find that you like to sit flush against him and grind yourself--it makes him hit a spot inside of you that has white spots appearing in your vision. And all of it feels good for Jake--every bit of it, heâs relishing. Heâs holding tight to your hips and youâre holding onto his chest, keeping yourself steady.Â
âIâm gettinâ a little tired,â you pant to him, hips slowing.Â
He nods.Â
âThatâs alright,â he tells you. âWhoa, girl.â He grabs your hips to halt you and you laugh, shaking your head.Â
âJesus,â you whisper, pulling off of him carefully. You wince a bit when heâs fully out and are surprised to find that you genuinely miss the feeling of it. âEasy on the horse talk, pal.â
âOkay, Filly.âÂ
He brackets you, nestles himself between your legs, kissing your throat. And then he slowly presses into you again, peppering your cheeks with kisses. Your breath is caught, but he knows you feel good. You feel good because of him.Â
âI really like this,â you tell him, breathing out harshly into his shoulder.Â
He nods.Â
âYeah, I figured you would,â he whispers.Â
He rests his forehead against yours, kisses your lips a few times, and rocks himself into you very carefully. Youâre tight around him, thighs gripping his hips, and he nearly loses all resolve and cums right then.Â
He watches your face as he thrusts, watches that crinkle between your brows and the gap between your teeth. He can still smell the citrus on your skin and see the glimmer in your eye. Youâre beautiful--so beautiful that it nearly chokes him up. It isnât fair, suddenly, that everything is going to go to shit at the end of the summer.Â
But at least he has you now.Â
And now, right now, thereâs something building inside of him. Itâs something big, something dangerous, something he isnât sure heâs gonna be able to stop. And just as you let your cheek fall into the pillow, it happens.Â
âFilly, Iâm in love with you.âÂ
And then everything halts.Â
Thereâs so much blood rushing through your ears, so much cotton pressed into your body, that youâre certain you misheard him. Youâre certain that it was a strange sounding firework or the radio or--fuck, or anything else. But then you meet his green eyes and theyâre swimming with fear, with earnesty. His face is flushed and his hair is mussed and his lips are a very serious line as he looks down at you.Â
No--you heard him right. He said heâs in love with you.Â
Your entire body grows hot.Â
âYou are?â You ask, swallowing.Â
No going back now.Â
âYeah,â he confirms, nodding a few times. âI have been. You know, for like, a while now. And I just felt-felt like you should know that. Not just because weâre doinâ it or whatever, but because I just feel like you deserve to know. Iâve been thinkinâ it for a long time and-and I just had to say it. So, maybe Iâm sayinâ it for me. But I mean it. I really do mean it.â
You nod.Â
Your face is unreadable as he gazes down at you, still seated inside of you. He doesnât know what those eyes mean or what those lips mean. He canât tell what youâre thinking or what your racing heart means right now.Â
But then he hears it.Â
âYou fuckinâ idiot,â you whisper. âIâm in love with you.âÂ
 He has sometimes imagined this moment. Sometimes tinted with rejection, sometimes not. But he never imagined that he would say it while buried inside of you, while taking your virginity. And he certainly never imagined that the two of you would suddenly break out into grins and laugh. Especially not the kind of laughing youâre doing right now--those deep belly laughs, your mouths wide open, tears in the corners of your eyes.Â
He feels like this canât be real. Itâs too good--too perfect. Here the two of you are, truly connected for the first time, in stitches over the fact that you two have been in love this entire time and never admitted it until now.Â
  Heâs thinking about the first time he went down on you, after you were hurt with the baseball. Heâs thinking about how afraid he was that you would laugh in his face if you knew how in love with you he is. And really, you are laughing in his face. But heâs laughing in yours, too. And everything is good.Â
âWhat the Hell just happened?â You whisper to him, still giggling.Â
âI donât know,â he tells you, kissing your face. âGod, do you--you wanna keep goinâ?âÂ
âYeah,â you whisper.
And then you kiss again, kiss long and hard with open mouths as he rocks himself into you. Itâs long, one where youâre sharing spit and breath, one where your eyes are welling with tears from his nose smushing against yours so hard.
The kiss doesnât stop--doesnât stop until Jakeâs pace falters, until his hips stutter, until he gets that familiar little crinkle between his brows. You drink in his moans, hold onto his back, kiss him as hard as you can. He cums and you feel it--the pulsing, the aching, the stillness.Â
Then itâs over. Youâve had sex for the first time. And you didnât make it through it without admitting that youâre in love with Jake.Â
With you, thereâs no such thing as an afterglow. As soon as Jake rolls over, chest heaving, ears ringing, youâre sitting up on your elbows and grinning at him.Â
âHey,â you say. âWe just did it.âÂ
He nods softly, gesturing to his sweat-stained naked body.Â
âUh huh,â he says.Â
You look around the room, maybe waiting for something to appear different now that youâve had sex. But nothingâs different at all. Yellow is still yellow, the art on the walls is still outdated, the blinds are still dusty, the bible is still intact. Things are entirely the same.Â
âAre you okay?â Jake asks, flat palm falling against your back.Â
Nodding vehemently, you turn to look at him.Â
Heâs never looked more soft than he does right now--overgrown sandy hair mussed, eyes glassy, cheeks pink, lips swollen from your kisses.Â
âYou wanna go swimminâ?â You ask. âI brought my suit.âÂ
âYou wanna swim?â He asks, brow perched.Â
You nod.Â
âAlright,â Jake answers. âWe can swim.âÂ
The water is warm.Â
All you can hear out here is the retreating fireworks, the squealing of tires, the tired crickets. Itâs very calm, very serene. There are no lights on in any of the windows of the motel, but thereâs a stray cat wandering around the chainlink fence and pouncing after a grasshopper.Â
Youâre submerged beneath the surface, the chlorine burning your eyes, for a long moment as Jake slowly steps into the water. You jumped in, of course--and he was keen on watching you until you pestered him enough to come in.Â
When you emerge, you grin at Jake. He grins at you, too.Â
Basked in moonlight and the terrible blue light in the pool, you really do look like something that belongs in this motel pool. Cheap swimsuit and runny makeup, that despondent kind of beautiful, that reckless grin. If there are sirens in the ocean that lure shipmates to their death, then youâre something that dwells in chlorine and lures down-on-their-luck high school gym coaches and cheating husbands to their death. All that would be left of them is wife beaters and gold chains, curly chest hairs mucking the pool filter.
âSo, what now?â You ask, chin resting on the surface of the water.Â
Jake doesnât tear his gaze from yours.Â
âHow longâve you known?âÂ
You swallow.Â
âMy whole life,â you tell him seriously. âLike, for as long as I can remember.â
 He swallows thickly.Â
âMe too,â he whispers. âWhy didnât you say anythinâ?âÂ
âWhy didnât you?âÂ
Itâs quiet. You flick some of the water on the surface and Jake ducks down below to wet his hair, wiping his eyes when he resurfaces and finds you still looking at him.Â
âSo, what do we do now?â You whisper.Â
His chest is aching. He wants to curl into himself. He wants to reverse time. But instead, he just sniffles. He promised that he would make this good for you. He promised himself that he wouldnât think about Emmaline or the baby. Heâs going to keep that promise.Â
âIâll do whatever you wanna do,â he tells you.Â
You swallow hard, wring your hands together.Â
Youâre a few steps away from him, separated by dead junebugs and a few sparse blades of grass.Â
âEver thought about me cominâ to Austin?â You ask.Â
âYeah, of course I have.âÂ
Your fingertips are quivering.Â
âAnd?âÂ
âWouldnât that be a dream?â Jake whispers. âYou and me in the capitol.âÂ
A beat passes. Jake moves forward, wades through the water, until heâs close enough to you to press his palms against your cheek. Your hearts are racing--not that either of you would admit that to the other--and wonât look away from each otherâs eyes. Itâs the only thing keeping you here, in this moment. Â
âWould you come with me?â He asks quietly.Â
You donât freeze. You donât flinch. You donât tense.Â
You nod. Immediately--right there in that pool.Â
âYeah,â you answer. âYeah, I would.âÂ
His eyes are watery. He wants this so bad that he can taste it.Â
âAnd we could be together?â He asks.Â
Again, you nod. No doubt, no question.Â
Thereâs just clarity here and now.Â
Everything makes perfect sense.Â
âIf youâre askinâ, then the answer is yes,â you say softly. âAnd if youâre not askinâ, then I am.â

I went to Japanâs Conantown (also known as Hokuei, Aoyama-senseiâs hometown) and I just wanted to share what an experience it was.
First off, to get there from Osaka I had to take a several hours long train ride, landing eventually in a station where they didnât accept my Suica, thatâs how rural this place was. I think all this made it feel even more incredible though, since I was traveling by myself. It almost felt like a pilgrimage LOL.
As I landed in the actual town, there was a ton of Conan art and statues to signify that you got to the right place. The town itself was small and peaceful, sort of a farming town outside of the Conan related traffic. I walked the street down to the museum, and if youâre under the impression this is like an amusement park you will be disappointed for sure. Itâs actually a town. While there are statues and a couple shops, the only real âattractionâ is the museum. I went on an off day so I couldnât go to the cafe, but I did get a really nice gelato.
I know this sounds like negatives but I think of it definitely as positives. It really felt like there was so much heart to it. Like a whole community came together to celebrate a resident who made an impact on them. It didnât feel manufactured or high budget, it felt like a family. It honestly made me a little emotional apart from the screaming fan in me.
If you get a chance, I really highly recommend visiting. Itâs worth the day-trip, and it was the highlight of my vacation.

What am I even doing I don't know how to write articles...
The name Seto Kaiba may not be familiar to most of our readers. I admit, when I received this assignment, I had to google his name. What I found seemed like a fictional story.Â
Orphaned at a young age, Seto Kaiba found himself adopted by the founder of Kaiba Corporation after beating him at a game of chess. At the time, the company manufactured weapons. However, Kaiba made headlines at the age of 16 when he took control of Kaiba Corporation and turned it into a gaming company. Many believed that by dismantling a successful company, Kaiba was guaranteeing bankruptcy, but he proved them wrong, and today, Kaiba Corp is a household name in Japan.Â
With his cutting edge technology, Kaiba plans to make his company a household name worldwide. Currently, he plans to expand his reach to the United States with Kaiba Land, an amusement park dedicated to showing off his games and technology.Â
At first, I was convinced his park would be a rip off of Disneyland. However, I was able to visit prior to the official opening and experience the park for myself. I can say with confidence that Kaiba Land is in a league of its own.
In Kaiba Land, children can live out their wildest fantasies. Seto Kaiba, a visionary when it comes to technology, has equipped his park with the best his company has to offer. The virtual reality simulators allow you to visit anywhere in the world at any point in history that you desire. I was able to visit ancient Egypt and see the pyramids in all their glory.Â
If you want to visit somewhere fictional, you can do that too. I was able to experience flying on a dragon in a medieval-type setting.Â
You can even fly to space to explore the moon if thatâs something that interests you.
Besides being able to live out your wildest fantasies, Kaiba Land also has an entire arcade section dedicated to gaming. Classic games are lined up side-by-side with Kaiba Corp. games.Â
Kaiba Land also has a few rides available. They have a dragon-themed roller coaster and a ferris wheel.Â
Regarding Kaiba Land, Seto Kaiba had this to say:
âI want Kaiba Land to be a place where any child can come and visit no matter how rich or poor their parents are. Weâre committed to providing free access to anyone in the foster system as well as children without parents.â
If Kaiba Land is any indication of what Seto Kaiba has to offer, he should become a household name worldwide in no time. Our readers can purchase discounted early access tickets via our website.
