The Succubus's Plaything

Chapter 33: She Knows

Sara is definitely drawing close to the truth. Since we sat down to eat, we've barely said anything, and my sister has been obviously thinking very hard about something. And the fact that she seems to have completely let go of both me disappearing yesterday night, and as well as not showing up last night proves it. 

"So.. I can tell you're thinking very hard about something.. Is it maybe something I should know about?.." It's very possible that I might regret this question, but there is most likely no avoiding it.

Sara chews and swallows before answering. 

"What is the piece to the puzzle that I'm missing?" She responds with her own question but doesn't look at me, instead she stares down at her plate. 

"W-what do you mean? What puzzle?" Nervously I know exactly what she means, but if I have to answer I'd rather her spell it out. 

"You have a girlfriend. You've avoided saying who it is. You've been acting awfully suspicious, especially around Inesa. However, the time when you went over to your girlfriend's house, Inesa was with me."

I let out a nervous laugh and can't help but scratch the side of my neck. Riiight.. That detail.. She knows at least a part of what is going on but because I left to talk with Valorie that night, I can't even tell her the agreed upon story of us being together without leaving holes in the story.. I knew about that issue, but went with that plan anyway. 

Maybe I can lie and tell her I was with my "bros" instead? That could sound convincing, and I could tell her it's because I was trying to cover up? Sara isn't stupid, I'll have to hope that she'll be content with my answer and not dig further. Me going to see my "girlfriend's" mother at night is so much more suspicious, and definitely questionable. 

Sara looks up at me, trying to get me to fill in her blanks, but in response I look down in order to avoid eye contact. 

"Can you be discrete about it if I tell you the truth?.." 

While Inesa has told me repeatedly not to say anything to anyone, Valorie has said that it's fine, and say that if we are presented with a tight spot we should reveal it. So Inesa can't be too angry about this right?..

"Who do you think I am? I'm like the queen of being discreet!" Yea right. But at this point unless I do something, I'm gonna end up digging my grave. 

"So.. I may.. Or may not be dating Inesa.. And when she was over here, I only said I was meeting my girlfriend because I wanted to cover it up. In fact I met with some friends to binge some video games.." I pinch my leg under the table while saying the last part. "So yea.. That's that. I am dating her.. Have been for a little while now.." 

"Hmm.." Sara stares at me as if she's playing at being a lie detector, but upon realizing that all the dots connect, she buys my story. "It's a little awkward that you're dating my best friend.. But you could've at least told me about it."

I sweat drop. She's taking it better than I thought she would. 

Suddenly her cheeks go red, and I reluctantly try to figure out what it could mean, but in a quiet voice she begins to speak again before I am given the time to solve it. 

"Have.. Have you two.. Done it?.." 

Done it.. As in.. My eyes go wide, knowing exactly what she means. 

"N-no!" I exclaim as I feel my own blush starting to form. "We haven't. Honest. Not even close!" 

"Ok.. I don't know how I would talk to her I you did.. It would be even more weird.."

"Y-yea.." I'm definitely not telling her that I'm her walking blood bag though. Or the fact that Inesa and I have technically also kissed, but that is probably implied. 

...

Breakfast ends silently as my sister processes all the information which she just acquired. Since I did the cooking, she does the dishes while I head upstairs to begin packing. 

My week-long class trip begins on Monday after all. 

Iii.. Probably should've told Inesa about that yesterday.. I forgot. 

Remembering what Valorie said about Inesa surpassing her urges for such a long period of time, maybe in order to lessen her withdrawal effect as much as possible I should have her feed on me tomorrow, one last time I leave?

I'll call Valorie about it.
