Insidious Desires

Ten

Stephanie had woken up early and decided to head back home, texting Charlie to come and pick her up and whilst she waited, she got dressed and Frank had offered to call her a cab because he couldn't take her home with Mary being about to come home. She had explained she had a ride and she got out of there before Mary came back, with Frank telling her he would text her and despite last night ending a little awkwardly for her, he pinned her against the car door for a good five minute make out session before letting her go. When she headed into the house, Lloyd was already waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs and she really didn't want to speak to him, especially because he looked a little pissed off with her.

"Where the hell have you been?" Lloyd folded his arms as she approached, his biceps were bulging out of the polo shirt he was wearing and his teeth kept clenching because he was honestly wanting to hit her for making his feel any kind of worry for her, she hadn't even replied to his text message he had sent her.

"Lloyd, I'm tired and I don't want to hear it." She held a hand up as she walked straight past him and headed upstairs.

"Steph!"

"Later, Lloyd." She shouted as she walked upstairs, she went to her room and shut her door before she tossed her bag on the floor and started undoing her shorts. She shimmied them down her legs before she picked them up and threw them in her bathroom, they would remind her to put them in the hamper when she got out the shower. She jumped as her bedroom door opened and Lloyd walked in, kicking it shut behind him.

"I wanna talk now." He pointed is finger down to make a point and she realised she was just stood in her bikini bottoms.

"Jesus Christ, Lloyd!" She ran into the bathroom to pick up her shorts, stepping into them and pulling them up. "I was literally getting naked."

"I don't give a fuck." He shrugged. "Where the fuck were you? You leave me a note to say you're going out and don't come back and your phone is off."

"What's your point?"

"Steph!" He snapped at her and squeezed the bridge of his nose and she knew he was getting annoyed.

"Fine! I was with someone and no, it's none of your business." She pointed at him. "Now can you please leave so I can shower?"

"If you're going to start being MIA when you should be working, then it is my business. So who were you with?" He folded his arms and she let out a harsh sigh, shaking her head and sitting down on her bed. "What's his name?"

"I'm not telling you because you'll hunt him down and scare him off, I'm not stupid." She shook her head. "Also, how come if I find a guy on my own, you seem to have issues but if you find me someone, it's totally fine but they're also really fucking lame?"

"Because you always pick fucking assholes!" He raised his voice. "Honestly, you've got no fucking taste."

"Stop being a prick, Lloyd."

"I'm not a prick, you're being a fucking dick. Oh wait, sorry. That's all you're good for isn't it? Fucking dick." He gave her a really cocky look and she let out a harsh sigh.

"Jealous because it's not your dick, huh?" She realised what she said as soon as she said it and his eyebrows shot up his forehead. "No! Not like that! I meant as in I'm getting sex and you're not. You jealous prick!"

"Watch you mouth, Steph. I won't hesitate to rip your tongue out if you keep going."

"Oh fuck off, stop acting like a hard ass. You're such an idiot sometimes, Lloyd." She rolled her eyes and he shoved her, making her fall down on the bed and he immediately felt bad about it, he didn't like raising a hand to her and he could tell he had upset her almost immediately.
