Tainted Love ||Stu Macher||

Chapter 18: Missed You

I always feel like somebody's watching me
And I have no privacy
Woh, I always feel like somebody's watching me
Tell me is it just a dream?

The next morning, Lilly wakes up to an empty bed. She sits up and finds a note on her nightstand, she picks it up and unfolds it.

Baby, I'll be back later tonight. Get ready for a night you'll never forget.

I love you.

Stu xx

Lilly sighs as the guilt of what happened last night hits her like a train. She was mad at herself for giving in to Stu so easily. Although, she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't deny that possessive Stu was fucking hot.

The way he claimed her like he always used to, turned her on so much. Her thighs clench together at the thought of it.

Shaking her head of her thoughts, Lilly stands up from her bed and walks over to the bathroom before turning on the shower.

After showering, Lilly walks out of the bathroom and changes into her lounge pjs that consists of an over-sized sweater, panties, and knee-high black socks.

Since there were no classes today, Lilly decided to stay home and do some homework that was due on Tuesday. She walks into the spare bedroom that she turned into a studio. Writing space, canvas and easel, beanbag chairs, and a mini bar.

Sitting at her desk, she starts working on her assignments but the uneasy feeling of Stu watching her was constantly prodding at her mind.

Jumping at the sound of a knock, Lilly gets up and walks over before looking through the peephole and seeing Jason. She sighs in relief as she opens the door and smiles.

"Hey, sweetie." Jason greets as he kisses her forehead, "Did you get your presentation done?"

"My what?" Lilly asks, confused.

Jason chuckles, "Your presentation that you told me about last night?"

"Oh! Oh, right!" Lilly giggles, "Yeah, I sent it in this morning. Fingers crossed I get an A." She covers up quickly.

Jason walks into her apartment and sits on the couch, "Wanna watch a movie? Nothing scary, though."

Lilly giggles as she sits next to him, "Sure. You pick." She smiles, making Jason get up and walk over to her VHS collection.

Lilly bites her lip nervously at the thought of Stu watching her interaction with Jason, she was afraid to even be near him because of what Stu might do.

Jason pops in 'Weird Science' and sits back on the couch with Lilly, "Did you choose that one so you can swoon over Kelly LeBrock?" She asks.

"Maybe." Jason smirks, "Have you seen her?"

Lilly laughs as she shakes her head before snuggling into his side, completely forgetting about the elephant in the room. She pushes Stu into the back of her mind and enjoys Jason's company the best she can.

It was close to 10:00pm and it was time for Jason to work the night shift at the bar he worked at. He looks at Lilly who was engrossed in the movie on the tv. "Sweetie, I have to go." He says softly.
