Today the temperature was high above limit. So naturally I was wearing nothing. As I sat down with my cup, I heard the door open and close from the en...rance hall. I peeped from my window and saw my mom’s car parked. “How are you doing honey?” mom was standing behind me. “Fine mum. When do we celebrate?”“Get ready now. We are going to McDonald’s”. I was almost ecstatic. I nearly banged down my computer and got ready within five minutes. Usually, we don’t have time to go out, coz mom had heavy. Much as I just did. Or, rather…is that a note of angst in her cry? I think I hear a cracking sound, but maybe I imagine it. I move closer to the sound and pause outside a door that stands between me and its source. The noises are clearer now. They’re those of a woman receiving some kind of beating. Oh, fuck, run away. Real-world Emma’s instinct is to storm in and scream at the bastards. But real-world Emma is already in retreat. Deep down she knows this kind of shit must be part of the world. Dad’s got a table reserved for us and drink tickets.” “There’s a band that starts at five,” Danny added. He smiled, and I wasn’t sure what to think of this. I really needed to stop thinking, about everything.“Okay, well let me finish up here, go ahead.” I held the box in my hands, and gave it a quick shake so the handful of lurers rattled. “Almost finished.”“Alright,” Tripp started to make his way to the door, “Our table is towards the back corner of the tent, near the stage.”“Okay, thanks.” I. I asked him to go and told him I will stay in the car as people might see.He took out the remote and turned on the vibrator. He kept it on till I pleaded him to stop it and accepted to go in.Then he made me walk in front and was playing with the remote which really made me shake uncontrollably while walking.I ordered a milkshake and also took a sandwich. While eating, he was teasing me with the vibrator and I was giving weird expressions which people were seeing.Now after dinner, we got into.
