Chapter 3: Playing with Fire

                  

"YOU DID WHAT!?" Lauren shouted as she yanked the cover off of her body and sat up on the bed. I had just finished telling her about the plans I had made with Dinah.

After I sent the text I had a small moment of regret, but quickly brushed it off; after all it would be the three of us getting to know each other which I thought was great.

I love people, just being around them and socializing, back in high school I was captain of the dance team and had tons of friends. My girlfriend however, was more on the introverted side, she was the type to stay home and read a book or binge on her favorite show during something most people would consider important like, homecoming, so its no surprise she was so upset about my arrangement.

"Babeee, please? Its only one day for like 3 hours or so, it'll be fun." I said sticking my bottom lip out and pouting. I knew that drove her crazy and I could already see her smirking, she was such a softie.

"Fine" she finally said. "Yay!" I said happily and I threw my arms around her neck and kissed her cheek. Being in my girls arms reminded me that no matter what this was home, I could never stray away from her and I was an idiot before, and now, having learned my lesson and basking in this moment, being in her arms was the warmest embrace.

I kissed her again and played with her hair. I felt her hands caress my waist and I bit her bottom lip. "Maniii, I gotta get in the shower" she said in between kisses. "Ooh, you know it's been a minute since we— I rolled my eyes and playfully hit her.

"We don't want to keep our guest waiting, cause once you start...well you know" I said smirking as I turned around and headed to the closet, I heard her mumble something as she walked into the bathroom and I let out jokingly sinister laugh.

As I walked to my closet I became overwhelmed. Finding the right outfit was challenging, I wanted to wear something cute, of course, but casual and carnival-y. I reached out and grabbed a yellow halter crop top and threw it on the bed and then I went to my drawer and found a pair of my favorite distressed shorts and put those on and decided against wearing a bra.

As I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth I could hear my girlfriend singing in the shower, but I knew if I said something she'd stop and I didn't want that so I just listened as she sang a song by 'the internet'.

Penny for your thoughts I got what you want, I can read your mind even from behind. I loved her voice and hearing her sing was a rarity; sometimes when I had trouble sleeping I would make her sing to me, which she absolutely hated because she didn't like to appear "show-offy".

"Babe, seriously hurry we're gonna be late" I said as I was combing through my hair and fiddling with my foundation brush. As I finished up and headed out of the bathroom, I instantly heard the water shut off. I walked back over to the bed and threw on my top and went to sit on the living room couch.

After about five minutes of scrolling through my social media accounts I glanced up only to see a flash of my girls naked body and seconds later heard a loud bang followed incessant cursing.

I shook my head and laughed to myself, but after looking at the time began to shout again when a knock at the door interrupted me. I looked though the peephole and saw long and curly blonde hair.

Butterflies formed in stomach as I opened the door and saw Dinah standing there smiling looking really good. She too was wearing a halter crop top only white and had on a pair of tan shorts and she had a pink flower in her hair off to the side.

"Twins!" she exclaimed as she looked and saw what I had on, but before I could properly greet her I heard Lauren nonchalantly say "Triplets" as she half smiled at Dinah and stood behind me jingling her car keys. She too had decided to wear a halter crop top but in her favorite color, black.
