Shameless, Reckless Love (GirlxGirl)

Part 1: Chapter 7

Ricki looks up at her ceiling as she is draped in nothing but her comforter. She heavily breathes in and out, thinking about whether or not she was dreaming. "What the fuck just happened" is all she can say in her mind. All of a sudden, the sheets move and Ricki lays her eyes on that redheaded Gallagher girl, Eden, as she lifts her head out from the covers. They both do not say a single word, as Eden plops her sweaty body beside Ricki.

Suddenly, the blonde woman and the man that Eden saw in the living room walk into Ricki's bedroom. The girls look at the woman, who is barely in any clothing, as she giggles and guides the man into Ricki's bathroom. Ricki and Eden look at each other awkwardly. Ricki's mother then backs up into the room and looks at Eden and Ricki, squinting her eyes.

"Put some fuckin' clothes on. You guys look like a couple of fags." She tells them, and walks back into the bathroom and shuts the door. They hear the water turn on, and Ricki jumps out of her bed. She quickly begins to put on her sweat pants and Eden gets up to put her clothes on as well.

"So, uh..." Eden says, nervously. "Those were your parents, right?" Ricki doesn't reply as she puts her shirt on and goes over to her drawers. "Are they okay with this?"

"Fuck no." Ricki answers, tensely. "They're just stoned out of their mind. Get the hell out of here before they both get out."

"Alright." Eden says, confirming that this was one of the most awkward hookups she had ever had. Afterwards, Ricki throws the handgun on the bed beside Eden. Eden can't help but smile, and she turns to go toward Ricki.

"If you kiss me, I'll rip your fuckin' tongue out." Ricki says and leaves the room. Eden tries to ignore Ricki's reaction, and leaves the bedroom soon after.

"Hey, wake up, motherfuckers! I'm makin' eggs!" Eden hears Mitchell yell from around the hall. Mitchell sees Eden and runs toward her. "Dude, do you have a fuckin' death wish or something?" Mitchell whispers to Eden.

"Don't worry." Eden tells him, and lifts her shirt to show Mitchell the gun tucked inside her pants. Mitchell smirks and punches Eden in her shoulder. Eden smiles back, leaving the house.

After returning the gun to Kesh, Eden lays in her bed back at home, wondering how she and the devil of the South Side ended up getting hot and bothered under the sheets. None of it made sense. But, maybe they both were going through serious tension and needed a release from it all. That had to be it. Eden couldn't stand Ricki's dumb ass in all seriousness. Things just happened. Though Eden truly wanted to believe all that, she angrily gripped her sheets, thinking about how she, shockingly, still wouldn't mind being with that same "dumb ass" again.

Meanwhile, Fabian and the Gallaghers' good friend and neighbor, Vic or "V", stumble through the front door with a scrawny, dark-haired woman about Fabian's age. V sits on the couch, laughing his ass off, while Fabian goes to quickly grab the first aid.

Fabian and V had gone out to a club, and things started to get heated once the butch bouncer wanted to start bitching over the guys. A woman approached the bouncer, and basically stuck up for the men. Though it was brave of this certain stranger, she got the snot knocked out of her. Fabian decided to bring the girl back to the house so V could help fix her up.

"I'm tellin' you, you are one crazy chick!" Fabian tells the woman, as she smiles and sits on the floor in front of V. Fabian gives V the first aid.

"And brave!" V adds in, grabbing rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball. "But seriously, that dyke nearly made me pee my pants. I mean, I think I did a little." Fabian laughs loudly with V, who is clearly drunk. Suddenly, Lib, Declan, and Cora come down the stairs.
