HUDSON and Gracie were best friends, this chronicles their relationship from age five, their growth, being inseparable, the families holidaying together and the two playing pretend.
“Honey! I’m home!” I shouted as I ran into the playroom.
My best friend, Gracie—oops, I meant wife—stopped doing dishes in the little kitchen and ran over to me with a big smile. “Welcome home!” she shouted. She gave me a big bear hug and a kiss on the lips, making me grin.
I loved my Gracie. She’d been my bestest friend since we were babies, and we’d be friends forever. She even let me call her Gracie when no one else was allowed.
Someday, after we’d grown up, we’d get married and do this for real.
We’d be just like my mom and dad. Get married, kiss allllll the time, and bring home lots of babies. Gracie said she loves babies, and I just want my Gracie to smile all the time.
8 years old, Hudson and Gracie are inseparable.
“Okay kids,” Jonah, Gracie’s dad, said. “Time for bed. Upstairs, girls on the right, boys on the left.”
At 12, they’re remain the closest of friends
At 14, as their feelings begin to evolve and they begin maturing
The summer when they were twelve, and through the next couple of years, he began to see Gracie differently.
Her changing body developing, largely featuring in his dreams. Her face defining, highlighting her beautiful blue eyes against the fringe of reddish eyelashes. Their physical and emotional changes as they continue to remain best friends.
In their first year of high school, he’d resolutely decided Gracie was his.
At 16....things get intense.
At 18, he could have matriculated the first year of high school, he’d been offered the opportunity to skip three grades. He’d declined refusing to be apart from Gracie. They were inseparable.
Both of them had grown up in homes with loving parents and they led by example.
Hudson at age 18 (he’s a few months older than Gracie) has gone through the motions of completing his education to remain with Gracie. He didn’t want her to feel as if she held him back. He never divulged that he’d already completed his bachelor's degree in their four years at high school.
He had one goal, graduate, get married, and start their family, but Gracie had misgivings, she wanted them to attend college, graduate and establish careers independent of their trust funds.
Jonah (Gracie’s father) had approached Hudson as he had sought out Jonah for research on his college papers. They’d discussed his skills and ambitions.
During the end of his second year in high school; Jonah covertly interviewed him and offered him a position. He also offered him the resources to advance ideas he wished to pursue, access to new software and tools that could revolutionise the industry.
Let’s be realistic, these are sexually enlightened times YET these two eighteen year old teenagers, having sex for the first time indulge in some rather intense exploits.
An unplanned pregnancy before beginning college and four children under the age of six, years later.
