HER PREY

The week had flown by, and suddenly it was Saturday again. I already had my shit cut out of me, because of what I'd have to do tonight. Naryna was having a kickback to celebrate the three of us making it out of the pile-up and I had to find a way to get out of my crib without my parent's noticing tonight.

Because yes, they still had me on house arrest like I did something.

I convinced Lowen to come with me, so she'd be picking me up at the front of my complex before the kickback. But again- how do I sneak out?

I'm a good girl through and through, or at least I try to be, so this was all foreign to me. I was on FaceTime with Naryna and Channin, trying to work out the kinks of my problem, AirPods in, as my mom and dad fucked in the other bedroom.

"I mean, you could always try the window?" Naryna suggested.

"I live in an apartment, girl," I whispered. "Wouldn't the window we loud if I tried it?"

"I don't know, Casei. If you don't try, you won't know if it makes noise. If you do make it out, what if your mom checks in there and you're gone?" Channin asked.

"See," I threw up my hands. "I'm just not gonna be able to make it guys. I'm sorry, but...it just is what it is," I shrugged.

"Try askin' your mom again?" Naryna suggested.

"Nahh, 'cause she's definitely gonna say no again and she's gonna be watchin' for sure, after that, to see if I defy her," I explained.

"You're just fucked, Casei," Naryna sighed.

I got up from my bed, taking my AirPods out. "I'll go and ask if I can hang out with a friend from work. I mean, that's partiallyyy true since Lowen will be there. I don't think it'll be a good look if I ask to hang out with you guys after...you know," I shrugged.

"Yeah, if she says no, just stay home, I guess," Channin suggested.

"Yeah, ian tryna experience the consequences," I agreed. I told them I'd go and ask, and then hung up. I guess I'd have to wait until my parents were done before I went in there. Maybe my mom would be in a good if I asked her right after one of them busted a nut.

Once their moans had subsided, I went down the hall and gently knocked on their door.

"Come in," my dad called out.

I looked around the room but my mom was nowhere to be found. All of a sudden, her head popped up from underneath the covers, and she swatted my dad's shoulder as she moved her heavier weight off of him. "Why'd you let the girl in, I wasn't finished?"

"I was," he shrugged.

"Dad, could I go out with a friend from work?" I asked sweetly.

"If you want my permission...you know what you gotta do, girl," he stated. "So, ask your mother."

I grimaced.

"Mom, can I-

"No," she grunted, "You always ruin everything. Go back to your room. I don't need you in the hospital again anyways."

"The accident wasn't even my fault- It was someone else's," I complained.

"Listen to your mother, Casei," my dad told me sternly.

I hesitated in the doorway. I didn't...want his permission to go. But it'd be real nice to get out, and I had been working pretty hardly this week. I closed the bedroom door behind myself and sulked back to my room. I guess I'd be here all night.
