not! Why on earth should you pay off my loan?” Sera turned to look at me in apparent amazement.
“I’d have thought that was obvious, Sera. You should always make getting rid of any debt that’s accruing interest your first priority in managing your finances. And seeing as I can easily provide the means for you to do so, it’s the logical course of action, isn’t it?” I explained, slightly irritated that she would let pride stand in the way of simple common sense. “Although if letting me clear the slate bothers you, I’m sure I could come up with several different ways that you could repay me, if you insisted.” I grinned salaciously as Sera batted my arm.
“I bet you could, but I'd rather repay my debts in my own way and in my own time, thank you all the same. I took the loan out, so it’s my responsibility to pay it off. I’ll take care of it,” she insisted rather haughtily, her eyes glinting at me.
“Just think about my offer, Sera, before you reject it out of hand. It seems a real shame for you to be paying unnecessary interest, when it could so easily be paid off. I’m sure you realise by now that coming up with a few quid would be no hardship for me.”
“I wouldn’t call it just a few quid Liam - it’s several thousand pounds, but in any case, repaying it is not an issue for me. The student loan company will just take a payment from my wages each month, which I can easily manage now that I'm earning a decent wage. So thanks for your offer, but no thanks.”
I sighed in frustration, resigning myself to the fact that for now at least, she wasn’t going to let me help her.
Sera was so different from Jamie - he never had any problems about accepting money from me. I guess it was just what he was used to and therefore expected. However, from now on he was going to have to get used to being weaned off my support, because he needed to stand on his own two feet once he went off to Australia. Maybe this trip would be the making of him, make him start ta king responsibility for himself - that’s what I was hoping anyhow. Despite my recent harsh words to him, I still worried about my little brother. I just couldn’t help it. Old habits die hard I suppose.

“Look, I agreed that you could come to my Graduation Ceremony earlier this week, didn’t I? Although it beats me why you wanted to waste an entire afternoon sitting through hours of names being read out, just so you got to see my thirty seconds of fame, especially as you’d already sat through Jamie’s ceremony the day before,” Sera scowled at me.
It was the weekend, and we’d just come back together from the gym on Saturday morning. I'd been working out and she’d had a yoga class, so we were both rather sweaty and in need of a shower. I was planning for us to take one together - shower sex with Sera was always great, but then any kind of sex with Sera was great. Because of the ever-present connection between us, it was always som ething far more meaningful than just sex. I’d never experienced anything like it before, and maybe that was why I seemed to have gone from one extreme to the other - from not even believing in love, to becoming a love junkie, unable to exist or function without Seraphina in my life.
Ever since I’d told Sera that I loved her, her confidence about her sexuality had grown in all areas - except one. However much I tried to reassure her that her first attempt had been fantastic, even though it hadn't gone as she’d anticipated, she was still hesitant about going down on me again. But I wasn’t worried, I was sure that in time, she’d get over her issues, and even if she didn't, it wouldn’t matter to me. We’d just adapt, because there were plenty of other ways for us to enjoy sex together.
Seraphina was so amazing and unique. I hadn't realized how empty my existence had been before I met her. I hadn't known that I was missing the most
