Slaughterhouse

Don't Deserve It

The next morning, Carmen is woken by Rhea shuffling clothes around in the closet. She yawns and rubs her eyes before checking the time. It's 6am so Buddy must be at the gym. When Rhea comes out of the closet wearing a sports bra and gym shorts, Carmen quickly sits up in the bed.

"What are you doing?" Carmen asks.

Rhea looks over at her and raises a brow before replying simply, "going to the gym."

"Uh no you're not." Carmen says and stands.

Rolling her eyes, Rhea starts for the bedroom door but Carmen quickly grabs her wrist to stop her.

"You're not going to the gym Rhea. You have bad ribs and a concussion, it's not happening."

Rhea spins and throws her arms out to the side.

"Why can't you just leave one damn thing alone, huh? Why do you have to push?" Rhea yells.

Carmen has a feeling she's not talking about the gym anymore.

"Rhea she started this mess! I just finished it. I defended myself!"

Rhea scoffs and shakes her head.

"That's just an excuse! All you do is make bad decisions and then come up with an excuse to make yourself look better!" Her voice is growing louder.

Carmen's eyes well up with tears as Rhea continues, walking towards her and backing her into a corner of the room.

"You're selfish! You don't think about how what you do will affect anyone else! You just do it! Then you wonder why people are pissed at you! Look in the fucking mirror Carmen! Put blame where blame is due!"

Rhea stops when Carmen is pressed back against the wall in the corner, her knees bending as she tries to get away. Tears are flowing down her face as she cries. She knows Rhea wouldn't intentionally hurt her, but her fists are balled and she's not acting herself.

"Rhea what the fuck?" Buddy says from the doorway of the bedroom.

She rolls her eyes and turns her head towards Buddy. His eyebrows are scrunched together in confusion and anger. He takes a step forward and points at the door.

"Get in the living room and rest. Now." He orders.

Huffing, Rhea looks at Carmen again before turning and storming out of the room. Carmen sinks down the wall and cries as Buddy approaches her, kneeling in front of her and grabbing her hands gently. He tucks hair from her face behind her ears and kisses the knuckles on each hand before speaking.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone with her like that. I thought she would have gotten over it by now." He whispers.

"Does she hate me?" Carmen blurts.

"No, Carmen. You know she doesn't." He says and kisses her knuckles again.

"Then why is she always so bitchy to me?" She whispers.

Buddy sighs and shakes his head. He stands and pulls Carmen up by her hands, wiping her tears with his knuckle.

"Want to help me make breakfast?" He asks, trying to take her mind off of it.

Carmen nods slightly and Buddy holds her hand, intertwining their fingers as he leads her downstairs and into the kitchen. Rhea is sitting on the couch, watching a movie.

Buddy grabs ingredients for protein powder pancakes and Carmen grabs the bowls and a pan to put on the stove. He whistles as he starts to measure out the flour and Carmen stares at him.

"What?" He asks, smiling.

"Nothing..sorry." She blushes and looks away as she combines the wet ingredients in another bowl.

Buddy taps her shoulder and Carmen looks at him again. Just as she does, he smears flour on her cheek. Carmen laughs and grabs an egg, smashing it over his head. Buddy's jaw drops.

"You're in for it!" He says and starts for her.

Carmen giggles and runs around the island, Buddy chasing after her. When he catches up he grabs her by the hem of her shorts and pulls her back to him. Carmen squeals as he starts tickling her all over. She's erupted into a fit of laughter.

"You wanna smash eggs on my head?? Tap!" He shouts playfully.

She's struggling to break free and laughing so hard she can barely breathe. Carmen taps at Buddy's arm and he lets her go, laughing as he pulls her back against his front. His arms are wrapped around her waist as he kisses her cheek.

Once they finish making the food, Carmen and Buddy bring it to the living room. He hands Rhea a plate and sits between the girls on the couch. She looks at them both. Carmen still has a small smile on her face when she looks back at her. Rhea rolls her eyes a little and turns her attention back to the movie, sitting her plate down untouched. Carmen frowns, getting frustrated.

"Did you find a good movie?" Carmen asks her, trying to melt the icy tension in the air.

"I put on our favorite movie babe." Rhea speaks to Buddy right after the question.

He looks over at her with a raised brow and nods slightly. Rhea doesn't pay any mind to the annoyance and hurt on Carmen's face.

Halfway through the movie, Carmen gets an idea and looks over at the two to her right. They're both engrossed in the movie. Rhea glances her way for about 0.2 seconds before her eyes land back on the screen.

Carmen frowns a little and turns towards Buddy. He doesn't notice until he feels her hand on his thigh, rubbing it and sliding across his bulge. Buddy looks down at her hand, his lips slightly parting, then looks over at her with a raised brow.

"What are you-" he starts but she shushes him quietly.

She gets on her knees beside him and grips him through his sweatpants. Buddy sighs softly and grows hard under her touch. Carmen smirks and pulls the waistband of his pants, freeing him from them.

Carmen glances over at Rhea, who is pretending not to notice, before leaning down and licking him from his tip, all the way down his length and back up before taking him in her mouth. She begins sucking, bobbing up and down at a pace Buddy can't help but groan louder at.

Rhea looks out of the corner of her eye as Carmen pleases him, following her mouth with one hand and squeezing him with her other hand. Buddy's head drops backwards onto the couch as his chest rises and falls quickly in pleasure.

He doesn't say anything, just groans as Carmen wraps her tongue around him for added pleasure. When he gets close he grabs the nape of her neck and holds her still, his tip aimed down the back of her throat as he cums hard.

When he's finished, Buddy sighs relieved and lets go of Carmen. She slowly comes back up and lets him fall from her mouth, smiling as she licks her lips.

Just as she's lifting her head, she feels Rhea's hand wrap around her throat tightly. Carmen looks up at her, still bent over Buddy.

"You think you can fucking tease me, Carmen?" She speaks lowly.

"I'm not teasing you. He deserves to be pleased. You don't." Carmen replies boldly.

Rhea glares and slowly lets go of her neck, turning back towards the movie. Carmen sits up and cuddles up under Buddy's arm once he pulls his pants back over himself.

They continue to watch the rest of the movie in silence.
