A couple of weeks later…
It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve come to this island, and our wildest dreams have come true.
Being with my sister and cousins this summer has made me the happiest I’ve ever been.
I do have to admit that all this fucking has led to me having a fucking sore pussy, ass, and mouth; even though it can be exhausting, I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Our parents have become a little suspicious about why we’re always together and why they keep hearing ‘cosas malas’ (bad things) —as my Tia Ana says—happening upstairs.
So far, we’ve convinced them that the guys are going wild with some girls they met at the beach, and they’ve bought it; little do they know the girls they met at the beach are us.
Tonight, we’re eating dinner at a beautiful, authentic Mexican restaurant, and the conversation revolves around college and how great we’re all doing.
The look on Brissa’s face is what pains me, though.
She looks defeated, and I’m not the only one who’s noticed; we all have, and we’ve been trying our best to keep her mind clear by occupying it with fun and dirty times together.
I am in love with her, my cousins, and my sister all the same, but something about her being the youngest has me wanting to take care of her.
We’ve all been falling deeper and deeper into this new normal, and although we’ve already fallen for each other, I think it’s time I gather the group and have a family meeting about us officially being an “us.”
After we’ve finished dinner with our parents, we all climb into my parents’ SUV and head to the beach house.
Silence fills the car the closer we get there, and I know it’s from the anticipation of the conversation that’s about to be had.
Parking, Joaquin turns the key and looks back at all of us, taking all of us by surprise.
“Before we go in there and talk about everything, I just want to say I love you. Each and every one of you,” he whispers, looking into everyone’s eyes.
“We love you, too, J. C’mon, let’s go up,” I reply. Exiting the vehicle and heading up the steps takes longer than usual. Scattering around the living room, we all take a seat on the couches. I sit between Clara and Brissa and look at Tonio and Joaquin to the left of us.
“So, I’ve been enjoying my time with you. Every day since the first day we got here has been electric, and I never want it to end. I am in love with each of you, and I would be lost without you,” I declare, starting our discussion.
“I have enjoyed my time as well. I’ve learned so much about myself, and although I haven’t had as much experience as the rest of you, I feel so loved by you guys. I don’t want this to end,” Brissa quips.
“Same,” Clara, Joaquin, and Tonio say simultaneously.
“Okay, so what I wanted to discuss is whether or not we all want this… to really be together? To promise each other that we won’t let anyone get between us, no matter what?
Are you in, or are you out? If you want other relationships, I understand, but I don’t think I can see that, so if anyone wants to do that, I’d have to bow out of this relationship,” I propose.
Everyone looks at each other, and I’m scared that they want something more than what we have.
What if it was too good to be true, and they only want us to have a summer fling?
What if this island let us explore the taboo parts of our relationship, and now that we have, is that spark gone?
I scoot closer to the edge of the couch, and just as I’m about to leave with my heart broken, they all speak.
“We’re in,” Joaquin says, tucking Tonio closer to him.
“All the way,” Clara agrees. Tonio and Brissa nod their agreement. Releasing a deep breath, a sense of relief overtakes me, and I jump up as we all hug each other in a circle.
“So that means we are all girlfriends and boyfriends. No seeing other people. Clara, that means ending it with Ezra for good. Make sure he knows you’re taken, even if you can’t say that you’re with us,” Joaquin declares.
“Don’t worry, Carino . I made it perfectly clear that if he even comes near me again, I will report him to the dean. Believe me, I don’t want anybody else but y’all.” Clara smiles.
We definitely needed this conversation, and I’m happy we finally had the opportunity to stop and just make it known that we are together and nothing can come between us. We won’t let it.
Wow, maybe we can have it all?
