PENELOPE'S POV
"Got you,you fell to my pranks,"Tristan hugged ne as soon as I met him in the lobby.
"You shouldn't make such pranks,"I argued making a sad face and stabbing my middle finger on his chest.
"Am so sorry, I didn't know that you would take me seriously"He apologized and as usual, he lifted me off the ground and I snaked my legs around his waist.
"I missed you already,"He groaned his finger tips running through my silky hair.
"Sure?"I don't know why each time I ask him this,probably it is because am used to people lying to me.
"Of course I missed you Penelope. You have a special place in my heart. You are like a magnet that I am very much attracted to, no matter how hard I try to walk away, not that I have thought of it, I am pulled right back and each time deeper than the last"He confessed.
I was in the perfect position to look him in the eye and realise that he was not feeding me with white lies.
No words could express how I felt about him. Therefore,I placed my hands on his neck as he leaned in to kiss me .I closed my eyes and our lips moved in perfect sync.
The contact we had sent a wave of sweet shivers inhabiting my entire body starting from the tip of my hair to the smallest toe of my feet.
I had fallen for him and there was no going back.I had already decided that it will be only him. No one else.
Just like the moon needs sun to reflect light,I needed him to take my loneliness away.
I allowed my tongue to roll in his mouth as his hands caressed my skin. I don't even know where I learnt this.
Tony's lesson you dummy!
He patted his lips and I was the one doing the missing and the touching. He was in the moment and that is when I pulled off.
He groaned instantly and placed me down.
"Holy f**k!You drive me crazy,"He hushed rubbing his hand on his groin.
I smiled shyly and I am sure my cheeks are flushing pink for I am horny already. It is long since I have been with someone.
"Let's go for a walk,"He suggested holding my hand and interlocking our fingers.
Under the full moon,two people attracted to each other such that you would think they knew each other since third grade talked laughed and giggled. Once in a while, they paused for a kiss.
The good thing about mums is that it is always opened twenty four seven.
We walked in and sat at the far end next to the window.
Bella was among the few people at mums. However, she is not alone but with the company of Max.
Also, in the building, Aurora was with Henry Scott.
Meaning if I had not accepted Tristan as my boyfriend, I would be the only one dying in loneliness since I could be the only one single.
We ordered vanilla flavoured ice cream that night.
"What is the craziest thing a person has ever done for love?"Tristan asked out of the blues.
"Agreeing to die for someone else,example is when a vampire bites a human so that they can be together forev,"I said tapping the table gently.
"You mean what Katherine did to the two brothers in Vampire diaries?"He asked.
"Yes,"I added laughing.
At the corner if my eyes,I could see Bella smiling at me.
I wiggled a finger at her. I couldn't carry a grudge for too long. Could I?
"Who is that?"I did not know that he noticed till he asked about Bella.
"A friend of mine,"I retorted.
"Get me introduced,"He begged.
"I thought you would never ask,"I smiled in response as we joined Max and Bella.
"Max and Bella meet my soulmate Tristan,Tristan this are my friends Max and Bella"They all arched their lips upwards as they greeted each other on the hand.
Aurora joined is later and it was her part to do the introduction.
That night,the three couples talked about all kinds of things including what makes them happy,their fears and their aspiration in life.
Surely its love, only love, that can take our loneliness away.

Tristan
I can't sleep
Me
Same here
Tristan
Will be there in a bit
Jeez!It was clicking 3.00am.
In a jiffy, I met him in his car.
"Let's go for a ride."He suggested starting the engine.
I was all in and after a while of listening to good music, we parked at a three storey apartment.
He lived at the ground floor thus we did not have to struggle to go up the stairs.
"Do you need anything?"He asked going to the kitchen.
His condo is neat. The theme is black, white and grey. He has a 52inch TV, very comfortable couches that really cost a fortune. The interior has one wallpaper and that is the sunset in the ocean.
"Love,join me over here in the bar,"He called me.
Is he a drug dealer or something. His house screamed money. His bar had all sorts of liquor. All I needed to do was just to choose what I wanted to take on that night.
He had several shots glasses filled with Gilbey's whiskey.
"We just going to take shots."He assured me.
Never take shots again.
I was to reject drinking but I remembered that it was on a weekend and I never had any classes.
"Your house is cool."I noted after the first shot.
"You should come and live here with me."He advised taking his third shot.
"It can't happen!"I was totally against it.
"Why?We love each other and this will be our love nest Penelope,"He spoke sense to me.
"It is too quick and I hardly know you. Plus,we are not yet married," I explained and stood up from the bar stool.
I probably had a lot to drink for my knees felt very weak and I could hardly walk on my own. I was drunk.
"Let me carry you to bed,"Tristan offered
"I don't need any help!I will manage,"I shouted at him trying to walk even if I knew I was going to fall the next minute.
Alcohol fever!
"Stop being stubborn, I will take you there."Tristan insisted but when he stood on his feet, he stumbled and fell to the tiled floor with a thud.
He was very drunk too and we were both too weak to move.
"I am going to crawl to my room,you better follow,'Tristan gasped lightly.
I laughed heartily as we crawled to his bedroom.
By the time we reached his room, we never had the strength to climb on the bed,we pulled the comforter and duvet and ended up sleeping on the floor.
***
A ray of sunlight hit my face and I squinted in response as I pulled the duvet over my face. I remembered sleeping on the floor but now am on his bed. That is Tristan's doing.
The tantalising smell of bacon eased to my nose when Tristan walked to the room carrying a tray full of cereal, bacon, juice and bread.
My stomach gave a loud growl that I could have been daily mistaken for rambling of thunder.
I continued salivating and when he handed me the tray, I couldn't wait to have a bite
Breakfast in bed.
I ate as he continued opening the vast windows so as to let more rays and fresh air fill the room.
"Did you love it?"He probed after I was done eating.
"It was delicious. I didn't know you were a good cook"I commented with a dazzling smile.
"You should come and live with me and you will eat more of this tasty food,"He never gave up in convincing me to love with him.
I had a hangover that very morning after breakfast and Tristan gave me painkillers apologising for the a hundredth time about suggesting taking shots.
Anyway, we had a one of a kind fun.
I borrowed Tristan's t-shirt and his sweatpants after I hit the shower.
He showered after I was done and in the next hour, he dropped me off at my hostel.
"Think about it,"He reminded me as he walked me to my room.
"Okay,"I nodded and he and gave me a peck then walked away.
Aurora wa not in the room when I arrived it gave me ample time to do some thinking.
We only live once and I should just have fun with my boyfriend, of course Tristan will never leave, he is not like Tony.
Bella
Am at mums please join me
Me
On my way.
"There is something I want to tell you,"I told Bella after ordering my milkshake.
"What is it sweetheart?"She was all sweet and you could never tell that we once fought.
"Am moving in with Tristan,"I grumbled
"Don't you think that is too fast?"She asked.
"No,"I stated sternly.
"It's not wise,'She tried to advice me.
"Bella this is what I want,"I concluded sipping my milkshake.
***
I packed my bags although I felt sad leaving Aurora. This is not to mean that I am not happy to move in with the love of my life .
"Honestly, I never wanted you to leave,but if moving in with him is what makes you happy, then its fine with me,"Aurora remarked and she clearly supported me.
"Thanks,"
"Come here,let me give you a hug,"She offered.
Me,
Tee, I am ready,come pick me up.
