A Sickening Daze

CHAPTER 2 - EAT ME, FEED ME !

I followed Budgie inside half-heartedly - frustrated, and embarrassed. At that point, I was convinced he was speaking nonsense, and that he had no genuine intention of going further. I was already planning to forget what had just happened: it wouldn't be much different from the numerous times I was left to my own resources after some sexually repressed bloke changed his mind halfway through.

The colorful flashing lights were blinding me, appearing ten times more vibrant than when we first stepped foot in this place. Budgie led the way to the bar where Siouxsie was hanging, chatting with a few acquaintances without looking particularly interested in what they were saying. Her eyes widened when she spotted us.

'What the hell took you so long! I was starting to think you left.'

Next to her, Steven and another guy I've never seen before were entwined, too focused on feeling each other's bodies to acknowledge our presence. For some reason, Steve always does that whenever I go out with them: finding a random lad to try and make me jealous... Truth is - Severin is a worthy friend (and a commendable sexual partner judging from our single night of carnal debauchery), but I'm honestly not too bothered about who else shares his bed. I know he'd be open to reiterate, but I don't want us to become an item, if that makes sense...

The stranger pulled away and softly murmured something to Steven. Immediately, his face lit up with glee, almost as if he had won the lottery.

'So uhm... we're heading off. See you sometime this week Robert?'

'Yeah, probably.'

He winked at me and held the stranger's forearm as he made his way to the front door. Siouxsie turned to face me, almost shouting to drown out the exceedingly loud music blasting through the speakers.

'You alright Robert? Feeling better?'

'Hmhm, just got a bit nauseous from the tab. It's alright now.'

'You guys took tabs?' she looked at Budgie with daggers in her eyes, which I thought was a bit dramatic considering she never had a problem with it before... 'For fuck's sake, you should've told me! Now I guess it's unnecessary to ask, since it won't kick at the same time...'

'How about we head home and find something better to do hm? Robert, want to come?' Budgie had a dumb look plastered on his face and it took me everything not to hide my face into my hands at his lack of subtlety. However, she didn't seem to grasp his intent, since she didn't even flinch.

'Yeah, let's get out of here.'

***

During the dreaded cab ride which appeared to last an eternity, I was dwelling on Budgie's words, repeating them over and over in my head to try to convince myself they were true. I was highly skeptical of his ploy to coerce his girlfriend into letting me share their bed. After all, Sioux and I never really flirted or shown any attraction towards one another... I must admit I had fantasized about sharing a night with him a few times before: once, twice, maybe more... But I never imagined myself in bed with her. Her dedication to poke fun at me constantly made me less focused on her charms, I suppose. To be fair, I would've probably been more inclined towards spending a moment alone with her boyfriend, but the thought of having a threesome with those two was quickly growing on me now that he planted the idea in my head.

I could hear giggling in the backseat. I couldn't see it, but I could sense the heat of her glare burning through the back of my head, which caused me to look down as a wave of discomposure sent blood rushing to my cheeks. My erection was still fairly visible, forming a sizable bulge in my trousers. In my altered state of mind, it appeared even more disproportionate, which made me even more uncomfortable and eager to get out of the car. I wrapped the folds of my coat tightly around me, praying that it would be enough to conceal the obvious.
