Love till Death

Chapter 20: Shush

Waking up with a yawn, she slowly sat up, looking around the living room and seeing nothing of concern. Poppy must have gone home a while ago though, because the house was completely quiet. Clutching onto the blanket... Which she didn't know where it came from, she stood up. Wrapping it around her body she scurried into her bedroom quickly, finding Lucas sprawled on her bed in only a pair of boxers, she took a deep breath before gently pushing him.

The attempt to wake him up failed and she took another breath, this one a tad more irritated. Pushing him harder he just kept snoring, not even disturbed. Rubbing her temples she bent down and pecked him on the cheek, his eyes shot open. "Hi."

"Yeah, hi." She looked down at him, holding onto the blanket, he smiled but she only bit her lip, staring at his innocent look as he lie there half naked. "Um... Last night was good, no, great, honestly... But, I really like him... And you... In a sexual way." He smirked.

"Then... We can keep this secret... Please?" Staring up at her with his lidded eyes, her blush only darkened. "Because you, you taste like honey~" He purred, sitting up and kissing her cheek gently. She lightly smacked his arm and he began to chuckle.

"No... It was really good though, just, let's be friends." She smiled as he frowned, clearly not happy about her choice. She groaned, looking at him. "God damn it, fine, we can be 'more' than friends you... Manipulator."

"Good." His smirk resumed as he pulled her onto the bed on top of him, she blushed darkly looking away from his face. His arms wrapped around her blanket covered waist, gently squeezing her. "That means you're dumping the alcoholic?" Her head turned to see his wide toothy grin, she slapped his arm again, not so softly.

"No, I'm not, so technically I'm already cheating on him... What have I become?" She looked at Lucas, biting her lip as he just shrugged, trying to unwrap her blanket.

"You've become fucking hot, tolerable, and frankly... I didn't know you were so good with your mouth." He said as her eyes widened and she slapped him again, this time across the face.

"Oh shut up! Someone's gonna hear you dickwad."

"Well I'm just saying you know how to suck a dickwad off."

"Am I going to regret this?"

"You already do." He kissed her cheek with a smirk, grabbing onto her blanket covered ass. "Which is perfectly fine."

Poppy stared at her friend with a blank expression, the same way she looked at hot gay men. She was happy inside they were embracing what they were, but she questioned who they were with, in those terms, she wished it was her. Now, she wished that all Mira had told her wasn't true. "So you... Went on your date, let Him play with your breasts... Then he left and you mouth fucked Lucas and vice versa? You have to be kidding me."

"Nope." Sipping her coffee she stared her friend dead in the eye with a serious expression. "I've become a whore and it doesn't even bother me." Poppy's brow raised.

"Why though? You get a boyfriend who can do what Lucas is meant to do... Who is really nice BTW... I think, Haven't met him. But I sure as hell know Lucas is no-"

"His tongue felt like it was vibrating."

"Oh sweet Jesus!" She shrieked as Mira laughed lightly, her friend completely switching sides. "So when do you plan on like, dumping sir funeral hunk?" They continued walking through the mall, sipping their coffees and window shopping.

"I don't, I mean, he really seems like a guy I could marry." Poppy resumed her blank look, Mira just giggled. "Oh common, Lucas is fine being my side, plus he's pretty much just the embodiment of a sex toy. So it isn't cheating if you look at it like that." A passerby gave them a weird look, Mira just winked at them, causing her friend to slap her. A small bit of coffee getting onto her shirt.

Now they were rushing to the washrooms before it stained her perfectly good blue shirt. "Mira, you're insane! This isn't gonna work out, I mean, your gonna hurt the guy... Not Lucas, nothing can hurt him... But ya know, like the one you are dating." Finally finding the women's washrooms, Mira began dabbing with cold water as much as she could. "If it stains, you can use my jacket to hide it."

"Thanks, but it's coming out anyways... And what's wrong with what I'm doing? You cheated on Jeremy with Brad." She grinned, still dabbing her shirt in a panicked pace.

"Oh please, you know I only dated Jeremy because he tutored me for free, and Brad flirted with me first, not my fault we ended up making out and more." Her arms were crossed as she leaned on the counter, fixing her hair without looking at the mirror. Why she didn't use the mirror, I don't know.

"By more you mean letting him motorboat you and allowing one finger to slip in?" She snickered as Poppy slapped her once again, this time in the back of the head. "Fine, fine, I'll shut up... But just remember, I'm gonna be like mother earth, so I can whore around as much as I want before I get responsibilities."

"I don't know if this new you should disgust me... Or make me proud you're actually getting involved with guys." Poppy sighed as her friend shrugged and took a step back from the sink, just a wet splotch on her shirt.

"I'm a fucking human stain remover, let's go celebrate by making the guy in the adult toy store want to quit his job."

"You mean asking him which dildos he prefers."

"Oh yes."
