One Is Enough

The sun was peeking through the curtains. I was having a nightmare of Eryc becoming my dad and hitting me when I suddenly felt a strong arm wrap around me.

"Catherin it's me Eryc." he said.

I woke up to his blue eyes. They were so beautiful. I forgot I had fallen asleep in Eryc's arms last night. We were still entangled in his bed sheets, when I remember the dream I just had. I quickly reached my arms out and hugged him. He put his hands around my waist and laughed a little bit.

"What's wrong? You had a nightmare. It's okay, I'm here" he said with assurance.

I let go of him and I let out a small smile.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"It's still early it's about 8:00am" he said smiling up at me.

I closed my eyes, and smiled. It felt so good to wake up next to the guy I fell in love with. He kissed my forehead and we both got up. I looked outside his window, and I saw his front lawn. Man it was such a beautiful day. I went to turn around when I saw him shirtless. I turned away quickly as I was probably radiating with heat coming from my red cheeks. He laughed at me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Do I turn you on?" he asked whispering in my ear.

I swear I got redder by the minute. I jerked back.

"N-no! Now put your shirt on.." I said embarrassed trying to not look him.

He turned me around and cupped my face. He connected his lips with mine. His lips felt so smooth. They felt perfect. I wanted more. His sweet honey taste. He grabbed my waist, and I felt my hands traveling to his biceps. He slid his arm under my tank top and suddenly, I felt lost. His kisses filled my neck. I could barely breathe. He pushed me to the bed and right as he was about to slide my shirt off, we heard a knock on the door. We both pulled away from each other and I quickly ran to his bathroom for a place to hide.

"Eryc...?" Edward came in through the door.

I was looking at Eryc from the bathroom door and couldn't help but giggle. He was standing so funny with one hand on his hips and the other on his head. He tried to look so natural. His little brother, thankfully was clueless to what was going on.

"What's wrong Edward? Why are you awake so early?" he asked.

"I thought I heard talking" Edward said walking a little further into the room.

"Well it must of been a dream Edward, go back to bed. I'll wake you up for breakfast later on" he said ruffling Edward's short hair.

Edward went along with his robot toy, and went into his room. I opened the door to the bathroom and Eryc pulled me into his arms. He kissed me one last time and laughed between kisses.

"That was close." he said.

I nodded. While he went off to shower, I sat there on his bed wondering why Clarissa still hadn't appeared. It seems like she read my thoughts because she came back and I felt my eyes changing. I suddenly felt angry and wanted to hit something but I realized it was Clarissa's anger reflecting on me.

"You will pay Catherin. Nothing is getting rid of me. I swear to you." she said.

Clarissa was gone within two seconds. I was so shocked. My heart raced and I looked at the mirror in Eryc's room. Why was she so insistent in being in my body? Could it be that she wanted to take over my body and let the real me go away? I was confused by all these thoughts crashing into my head. When Eryc came out of the bathroom, he handed me a fresh clean long sleeve shirt and a white towel. He told me to go wash up and to come downstairs slowly without making noise for breakfast.

I went down the stairs in nothing but his long shirt. It felt like a dress. They drooped over my hands and the length was up to my thighs. I was practically lost in the house till I found the kitchen and there he was making an omelet.

"It smells good." I said leaning over the counter.

"And it's gonna taste good." he replied smiling.

"We'll see about that." I winked at him.

I never flirted, but with him I've had many first's already. He let go of the omelet and came to where I was.

"You look sexy." he said with a funny voice.

I couldn't help but laugh. It was just too funny. Being with him brought me so much happiness. He kissed me in the cheek and went on to finish breakfast. He called in the babysitter and told her to wake up Edward, and come downstairs to eat breakfast. He went to drop me off and there was no one home just as I suspected. I went through the back door where I always left a key on the little plant from the garden next to the entrance just in case I got locked out one day. I entered and everything was normal. I went to the room but it smelled weird. It smelled like smoke, mixed with alcohol. I see my dad's door to his room open. I was scared but I got closer anyways. As I peek a little bit through the opening I see the red head from last night scrolling around bed. All her clothes were scattered around the floor. Bottles of wine and beer on the night stand and condom rappers on the sheets. She squirmed around and I quickly went running to my room. I guess my dad left her here and went to work. I got some clothes and went back outside.

"Let's go" I told Eryc.

"What happened? Is he there?" he asked concerned.

"If he was there, I wouldn't come out alive." I said grabbing his hand and heading for the car.

I jumped in his car, and I was out of breath.

"Cat, tell me what happened?" he said.

"That woman he brought in was still there, all naked in his bed, it was disgusting. I'll change into my clothes at your house. Let's go." I said.

We got back to his house and I rushed into his bathroom. I quickly got dressed in my high top shorts and blue t-shirt. I headed down to the kitchen where he was sitting with his little brother and the babysitter.

"Oh it's you!" Edward said pointing at me.

I smiled at him.

"Hi Edward how are you?" I asked him.

"Good, sorry about your shirt the other day." he said with his mouth full of eggs.

I laughed a little and told him not to worry about it.

*****

A little later Eryc and I decided we would go for a stroll around the park. We were having such a good time when I spotted my dad. No way.

"Oh my god" I whispered.

"What's wrong?" he fixed his gaze on what I was looking.

"Is that your-"

"Shhh" I put my finger on my mouth but it was too late.

My dad was glaring at me from across the park.
