OHHHH, OPHELIA, HEAVEN HELP A FOOL WHO FALLS IN LOVE!!!!
Ro wanted to be offended at first when she called him Cronan, but then the sound of that name made him giggle - and then he realized he didnât remember her name either, so. There was that. Boobies. Did he mention the boobies? He winced when she belly flopped right into the pool, making a small âoooâ sound. Not quite the entrance he was expecting, but hey, she was fun. âYou okay?â He asked with a laugh as soon as she surfaced, pushing his now wet curls back off his face. âGonna be interesting to try and run for it if we get caught.â
Phe made her way above the water as she pushed her hair out of her face, laughing her way as she made her way up. âShit, Iâm definitely going to feel that in the morning,â she admitted. Still, she was having a great time as she swam her way to the curly haired boy. âAt least weâll have a great story to tell. Itâd also be really funny if someone stole our clothes while we were in here,â she said with a smile on her face. âLook at you, I bet you could definitely talk your way out with the cops,â she teased.
James knew his physical appearance was something that surprised people more often than not. He was blessed with the height but worked hard for the rest so her appreciation of his body was something that made pride swell in his chest. âYouâre not too hard on the eyes either, gorgeous.â he responded as he took another long, slow look up and down her body. What he could do to her given an uninterrupted night without limits⊠He laughed as he came up to hear her score and protests but he encouraged her to give him all she had and he was clapping when she came up for air. âI think that was a solid 10 if weâre judging by the biggest splash our bodies can make individually.â he said, grinning as he swam toward her. âYouâre a natural in the water.â he said with a smooth, even tone as his hand reached out to graze her hip.
Ophelia couldnât help but chuckle lightly, she usually would have been a bit more subtle, but she was tipsy. He was good-looking to say the least and that body, well it spoke for itself. She felt her cheeks get hotter than they already felt from the alcohol, mostly because she had been caught staring, âI guess Iâve already said more than enough,â she teased. Opheliaâs couldnât help but smile as she bit her lip lightly, she was so glad that she had offered to walk her home now. As she came up from the water, she pushed her hair out of her face before smiling, âOh donât lie to me. I think you take the crown,â she admitted as she floated happily, seeing him make her way towards her. As he reached out to her hip, she impulsively closed the gap between them. âIâm a natural at all of other things too,â she said letting her hand rest on his chest.
It had been seven years since Noah had seen his sister. He had attended her college graduation and shortly after he was sent to military school due to his step-motherâs wishes and his fatherâs doting obedience to her. Since then, he never imagined that he would sister again. She never came back for holidays or even made a phone call. Ophelia made it pretty clear that she wanted nothing to do with their family, which Noah couldnât really blame her because he did the same the second that he got a chance.Â
The last seven years hadnât really been exactly what Noah expected, but this was certainly unexpected, to say the least. He didnât understand why after such a long time she had decided to finally show up on his doorstep. How the hell did she even find him in the first place? There hadnât been much of any contact for so long. The smile on her face at least let him know that it wasnât all bad. Noah couldnât help but roll his eyes at her when she said she could have broken down the door. âYou certainly know how to make an entrance,â he mumbled as he grabbed the keys from his pocket and opened the door to his apartment. âOphelia, what are you doing here? How the hell did you even find me?â he said, rattling at the door.Â
Ophelia smiled as she flipped her dark hair, âOh come on, you say that like itâs a bad thing,â she rose her eyebrows at him. Sure, she probably should have reached out a lot sooner, but she wasnât in the right head space. She had a lot to deal with after she left. Two simple questions and Ophelia was already feeling herself regret all of this, she would have ran if it were anyone else, but this was her brother. She swallowed hard as she took a deep breath, âI hired a private P.I.â she admitted. She wasnât about to start their new relationship with a bunch of lies. She couldnât do that. She wouldnât turn into their father. âI talked to dad, Noah. The first time in a long time, but... heâs sick, Noah. Thatâs not why Iâm here though,â she paused. âMaybe we should get inside, before I continue.â She clutched her purse, not sure what to expect from her younger brother. Â
Khy always believed that age was just a number. As long as they were legal how could he really go wrong? He let a soft chuckle pass through his lips with a sort of grunt as he jumped down from the fence.Making his way over to the intoxicated woman who was already half way undressed standing before him. It was entertaining to him that she still didnât really remember his name, but at this point did that really matter? At least she wouldnât be able to pin this idea on him if they were to be caught breaking an entering. âYeah, yeah Iâm on itâ he smiled widely, pulling his shirt up and off of his body. Sure he wasnât built muscular like most other guys his age, but he was convinced he carried his physique quite well. At least he never really got any complaints before. Moving his hands to unbuckle his belt, he stepped out of his shoes. âYouâre crazy you know that?â he asked rhetorically. âI like itâ he added, pushing his pants off and following her into the pool.
Ophelia was a bold girl, but she wouldnât be this blunt usually, however that couldnât be said after all those long islandâs. The thoughts in her head were coming out of her mouth without really filtering them as much as she should have. Phe couldnât help but smile as he started to undress as she whistled before laughing a little bit at herself, objectifying men, it was the new fad. Phe smiled and tilted her head, âHey, all the best people in life are crazy, just a tiny bit.â She took a deep breath before diving into the pool and then coming up and swimming on her back. âYou know CPR, right?â she had remembered him talking about working at a hospital. âNot that I plan on drowning,â she quickly added as ran her fingers through her hair.Â
See, listenâŠmaybe sometimes Roman could come off as some sort of player, or what have you, because really he just couldnât resist a pretty face, but he did genuinely care about the well being of others - that had to mean something, right? Heâd offered to get this girl home, because he could tell she was getting to a point that she might need a little assistance, but plus, her eyes kind of had him under some sort of trance, and he couldnât help it, okay?? He didnât expect her to lead him to a random pool, in which maybe - maybe heâd have passed if she wasnât taking off her shirt. God dammit, boobies were so magical. âWell, I canât say no to a dare, can i?â He smirked at her, and then managed to get over the fence himself before stripping down to his underwear, and just diving in. If they were gonna do this, then he was gonna be first. If ya ainât first, youâre last.
Ophelia shook her head when he asked if he could say not to dare. She cheered him on as he jumped over the fence and join her on her little adventure. Maybe it was the most logical at the moment, but she was glad that he was going along with it. At least, itâd make for a great story later. Before she knew it though, he had dived into the pool with no hesitation and she couldnât help but laugh and throw her hands up in the air. âFuck yeah, Cronan! Roman?!â She questioned for a second before laughing a bit more. âThatâs the spirit,â she let a giggle slip out her mouth which only really happened when she was drunk before belly flopping into the pool. It honestly was going to hurt a lot more in the morning than it did in the moment, but still she was enjoying herself in the moment.
James had no plans for Valentineâs Day and, in fact, he made it a point not to treat it differently than any other day. But there was nothing abnormal about him striking up a conversation with a beautiful woman at a bar and then following her wherever she led. Heâd hoped it was a house or apartment with a bed he could put to the test but he wasnât altogether disappointed when she made the sudden turn toward the pool. He watched her make her way over the fence and without missing a beat he scaled it right behind her. He watched her undress as he did the same, ridding himself of everything but his boxer briefs. He knew heâd be more comfortable if they remained dry but he wasnât the guy who showed his dick unsolicited and that seemed more crucial at the moment. âIâll do you one better. Whoever can make the biggest splash wins.â He winked at her as he ran and jumped into the deep end with his knees hugged to his chest so his cannonball had maximum splash effect.
Phe knew that she probably wasnât being the most rational person at the moment, but she was glad that James was going along with her crazy idea. It just made it more fun in all honesty. Ophelia couldnât help but smirk as he stripped down with her, letting her eyes linger for a second before laughing lightly. âAlright, alright, I can get down with that,â she said with a bright smile as she watched him cannonball into the pull, water splashing over her as she laughed lightly. âHow on earth am I suppose to top that?â she laughed as she waited for him to come up from the water. âSolid 9.8,â she smiled as she tried to get a bit of a running start before going to the edge of the pool and stopping. âWait, wait, that was a horrible start,â she laughed before running up again and cannonballing into the pool, trying to make the biggest splash possible.
It really didnât take much for Khy to convince the brunette to let him walk her home. She was insistent of leaving and really what kind of guy would he be if he let her walk out alone as drunk as she was. Hell he was pretty intoxicated himself, and like her, he also didnât want to spend the night alone. It was Valentineâs Day after all. He walked with her about half a block spitting small talk about how he worked at the hospital, and how he was single because he was always working, or at least that was his reasoning. It really didnât matter if she was interested in what he was saying or not. The conversation was only fuel to get them to the next level of their adventure anyway. Which seemingly came upon them pretty fast when she decidedly jumped over the fence to the community pool. He watch her every move as his smile spread wide across his face. Now this was something he could get into. âI.. yeah⊠â he chuckled. Biting his lip he shook his head slightly, unable to come up with a reason why he shouldnât join her. Her words were only daring him to pursue what he already wanted to in the first place. He jumped the fence and made his way toward her not even bothering to look around for on lookers. His eyes were glued to her figure, and who could blame him? She was hot.
Ophelia knew she was pretty drunk, but she was pretty sure that regardless of that fact, the guy was pretty cute and single so she wasnât about to be a home wrecker. A bit young by the looks of it, but who the hell were they to be picky on Valentineâs day. It was a cliche and stupid holiday anyway or at least thatâs what was going through her mind now that she didnât care. The small talk was nice because at least she knew that he could carry a conversation, so it wasnât all looks, a plus. As she watched him jump the fence, she cheered him on as she put her hands in the air as if she had just won a medal. âHell yes, Ty?! Khy!â she said, snapping her fingers, hoping that she had gotten on the second try. âAlright, pretty boy, letâs see what we are working with.â She teased, dancing freely as if nobody was watching as she watched Khy, waiting for him before she got into the pool.Â
Ophelia had never been single on Valentineâs day since she was in middle school. Itâs what she deserved for trying to be a good person and going to butt fuck nowhere California to save a brother that didnât even want to be saved. To say the least she was not taking it well, but Phe was more than determine to still have a good time, that she knew how to do. She raced to the nearest bar and with the help of about three and a half long islandâs she was feeling it and the random stranger that had offered her a walk home was now getting reeled into her âbest idea everâ which she always seemed to have when she was tipsy. She raced to jump the fence of the community pool that was obviously closed. She thanked those long islandâs because she wasnât to sure how she managed to get over the fence, but she did. âYouâd be lying if you didnât admit getting into that that pool is a genius idea!â She couldnât help but giggle as she stood tall proudly kicking off her shoes. She slipped off her top, her fingers working the button of her jeans as they slipped off shortly after. âI dare you to come in with me,â she smiled at the other person at the other side of the fence, her bright blue eyes locked to the person whoâs name she had already forgotten as she walked backwards towards the pool.Â
Noah was getting home after an extra-long shift at the bar. One of the bartenders showed up to their shift two hours late and Noah had to cover for them. To say the least, he was pissed that he had to do that. Not to mention that he had to break up two fights and had to deal with kicking people out, which was never a fun time. He got out of the elevator on the fifth floor of his apartment building when he saw a tall dark-haired girl banging on his door like her life depended on it. âShit, can I help you? Break my door and youâre going to pââ yet as the girl turned around, Noahâs jaw almost dropped to the floor, what the hell was his sister doing here? âPhe?â he said, confused out of his mind.
It wasnât easy for Ophelia to uproot her life and find her brother, but after having a conversation with her father about Noahâs recent decisions, it felt like it would be what her mother wanted. Everyone knew that their father wouldnât lift a finger for them anyway. Through it all, Ophelia couldnât help but feel a tad bit guilty because when she left for college, she left her family behind as well. Her father was rapidly dating after not even six monthâs of their mother death and seemed to be having a ball living the single life when he had two teenagers at home. She realized that must have been hard for Noah, but it was also hard for her. Her idea of dealing with it was not to deal with it while Noah got his little âattitudeâ problem it pushed them further apart. However, now they were adults. Full grown adults and she was hoping to at least have a mature conversation. At least thatâs what she kept telling herself.Â
After getting the address from the private P.I. she hired, here she was in Dayton, CA, knocking on her brotherâs door like her life depended on it. When she heard a voice behind her, she rolled her eyes before turning around. Yet, there was! A lot taller than the last time she had seen him at her college graduation, but still that same dorky face and messed up hair hadnât changed. âIf I wanted to break your door, I would have already done it,â she said, not being able to hide the smile on her face. âNoah,â she said, raising her eyebrows at him.

LIFE
Growing up, the Griffinâs didnât have a ton of money, but they really united together as a family. They did their best to get by, but there was never any money for luxuries so her parents really tried to make the most of what they had and Ophelia was really thankful for how hard they tried through out their lives.Â
Ophelia was four when her younger brother, Noah was born.Â
Ophelia and Noah got along fine, with banter like any siblings would have. Ophelia always wanted to be a good example for her brother, so she did her best to try and lead by example. She made sure to get good grades, stay out of trouble, and just try to make her parents proud.
When Ophelia was in her junior year of high school, her mother was diagnosed with III lung cancer. Ophelia knew exactly what that meant and she did spent every day that she could with her mother at the hospital. It crushed her to slowly see her mother get sicker and sicker. It was especially hard because Phe knew that they didnât have any money for her treatment as well as time. Despite wanting to break down every two seconds, she made sure to stay strong for her mother because she always told her that she couldnât be sad about her passing away. She passed away only two months after her diagnosis.Â
As hard as that was for Phe, it was even harder for Noah and he started to go down the wrong path. Not to mention that their father started dating very soon after their motherâs death. Luckily for Ophelia, she had left to college and really tried to forget about her life back home although she was very worried about her younger brother and always made sure to stop by every other weekend to check up on him since she knew that Noah and their father didnât have the best relationship.
Not having a ton of money was difficult for the family especially when Ophelia really wanted to go away to college and make something of herself. So, she started being a sugar baby. At first it started off as kind of a joke and desperation because she really didnât want to go back home to the mess that was there and she really needed money. However, once she started to get more and more clients she realized the true potential that she had in the sugar babying game. She ended up only keeping five of her highest paying clients and thatâs all she needed to not only pay tuition but give herself a life of luxury. She started off asking for stupid things like gift cards, victoria secret, and cards from nordstrom but quickly realized that they would even give her louis vuitton bags, chanel make up, gucci shoes, saint laurent sunglasses was just a few of the small gifts that her âsugar daddies and mommiesâ got for her.Â
When she was 20, her father ended up getting re-married. As much as that angered Ophelia, she promised herself at the wedding reception that she as going to get the hell out of his life. It was not only disrespectful to their mother, but to Noah who was obviously having problems but their father decided to focus on his new wife than his kids. Ophelia made sure to stay busy so that she wouldnât go to their ânewâ home over any circumstance so she made sure to study abroad and spend the summers with her friends rather than going back âhomeâ.Â
As much as it killed Phe, she couldnât stand to be around her father (and now that she was financially stable she didnât need him), so she kind of disconnected from them the moment that she graduated college. Especially because she had heard about what his father was doing with Noah. It crushed her but she moved as far away from her âfamilyâ as she could as her father wouldnât listen to anyone but his new wife.Â
Ophelia ended up moving to New York and became an event planner for a pretty big company in New York. She made sure to work her ass off to be the best and to get paid the best. She made the best of her time in New York, always moving around the city and only getting month to month lease. Since then, sheâs traveled to her favorite cities since her company works around the US. Sheâs lived in New York, Washington, California, Colorado, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina and even Canada for a bit. However, she never returned back to Chicago, her home state as it brought back too many bad memories. Through this, Phe never commits to one place for too long. The same can be said about her dating life, she falls in love quickly but she falls out of it just as fast.Â
Through this, Ophelia lost touch with her brother and her family in general. She hasnât spoken to them in over five years since she graduated. That was until she got a call from her father about him being sick, but in all honesty, Ophelia doesnât care. Her father had been more than cruel to her and her brother that she still canât find it in herself to go back home and help him out. Especially with her new step-mother trying to undermine her. Through that conversation though she found out that her brother dropped out of school and had been out of touch with them as well and their father had no idea where he was.Â
Ophelia hired a private investigator to find her brother again. She feels bad about staying out of touch but it was obvious that the two Griffin kids needed to get away from their family to live their lives. Now, sheâs headed to Dayton to try and mend the relationship that once was.Â
