23. Knowing Ourselves Better

"Uhm, how about we have a movie night this Saturday? Just the three of us," Helen said, her face lighting up with pure joy as she smiled.

"It’s not a bad idea. I could just tell my parents I’ll be coming over to your house to study," Milliana replied, trying and failing to hide the little spark of excitement in her voice.

"What do you think, Denver?" she asked, turning those beautiful, daring eyes on me. Her expression was pure plea, silently begging for a yes.

I have to admit it isn’t entirely a bad idea. I still haven’t finished what I started with Milliana, so yes... but I need to keep my own excitement under wraps too.

"Well, it’s not like I can say no. Just like Milliana said, you still need to stay on top of the extracurricular stuff," I answered, aiming for a tone that sounded thoughtful and responsible.

Helen’s face brightened even more. I hadn’t shut the plan down; I’d only made sure she remembered her school commitments.

"That’s why you’re the best in the world," she said happily, looking for a second like she might jump up and hug me tight. For some reason she stayed seated instead.

"Olivia called earlier today, Helen. We were supposed to have a video call so she could check on how you’re doing."

The thought of her mother had somehow slipped my mind completely. Helen hadn’t even been here a full week, and we’d only spoken to Olivia once.

She’s settled in more than I expected. And she does seem to be enjoying herself.

"Oh, that’s true. My bad I’m sorry. I’ll make it work this time. I need to tell Mum how things have been going and why I love this place so much."

"I also chat with Maria and Mary," she added. "They keep telling me how great the vacation has been. I can’t wait for us all to gather in December as one big family... including you, Milliana." She turned and smiled at her friend.

"That’s great then. I’m glad you’re free. We’ll do it after we eat," I said.

Helen stretched out her hands playfully and blew a kiss toward Milliana. In the process she accidentally knocked a plastic bottle off the table.

My hand shot out almost instantly, trying to catch it in mid-air, but I wasn’t quick enough.

I stood up politely and moved around the table to retrieve it. As I leaned down, the light under the table was poor and I struggled to see.

Luckily I had my phone in my pocket. I pulled it out, switched on the flashlight, and started searching.

My hand moved across the floor. Then something caught my attention something that made me linger longer than I should have.

If the circumstances had been different, I probably would have done something else entirely.

Milliana’s pussy was right there in front of my face. The sight sent an immediate flashback through me of how sweet she had tasted.

She wasn’t wearing any panties, and the way she sat with her legs open left her completely on display. It almost looked heart-shaped neatly trimmed and already a little wet. I pointed the light for a better view. My cock was now visibly hard inside my joggers.

I almost felt the urge to lean in and taste her again, but I had no idea how she would react with her best friend sitting right there.

"Have you seen it, Denver?" Helen’s voice pulled me back to reality.

"Got it," I said, grabbing the bottle and sliding out from under the table with a smile that tried to look purely helpful.

I gave Milliana a quick, sneaky glance, wondering if she knew what had just happened. On the surface she looked innocent enough, but I already knew there was a wilder side underneath the kind any guy would dream of.

"I’m so sorry for the trouble, Denver. That was completely my fault," Helen said, sounding genuinely apologetic.

"It’s not a big deal. Besides, it’s just a plastic pepper container."

"Still, it was my mistake. I should have been the one to pick it up, but you helped anyway," she insisted politely.

"Don’t worry, sweetheart," I said with a smile.

Whenever I used that name, she blushed a little deeper. I sometimes threw it in just to quiet her down and get a softer reply.

"Milliana, you seem a little quiet. Everything alright?"

"Yes, I’m just full."

"You can save the rest for later. You’ll finish it when you’re ready."

"Thank you so much, Denver. I feel happy too. You really are a wonderful person."

Hearing those words from Helen would have landed differently in my head. Coming from Milliana, I knew there was more behind them.

"You’re always welcome. I’m glad you’re treating Helen so well, and it’s been nice having you around."

I knew she would be leaving soon. I just wanted her to keep being the good girl she was... most of the time.

I winked at her with a smile. She looked up just in time to catch it and understand exactly what I meant.

"I’m full as well," I said. "I think I’ll just cover the leftovers and eat properly later."

I picked up my phone almost immediately to check how things were going with the business. A message lit up the screen with just a number and a profile picture.
