Chapter 5 - Narcissus Narcosis

Chapter 5 - Narcissus Narcosis

{2001}

I gazed, enthralled, as I watched Marilyn’s new music video for The Fight Song on MTV. This was so true...and so well represented! I looked at the clock… one thirty in the morning, no wonder I was getting sleepy. I spied my phone and bit my lower lip lightly. I missed Marilyn… I contemplated going to bed, but knew I currently lacked to will to actually get up.

I grabbed my phone and dialed Marilyn’s number. He’d be up...probably the only other sane person that would be that I knew anyway.

He answered on the fourth ring. “Hello?”

“Hey, it’s Lily…” I smiled as I heard his voice. “How you doing?”

“I’m okay… are you? You never call this late…” he asked; I could hear the worry in his voice.

“Yeah, I’m alright...miss you a lot though.” I smiled again as I heard him chuckled darkly.

“I miss you too, Lily...did you want me to wake Twiggy? He might be grumpy…” I heard the implication in his voice.

“Nah, leave him be...he passed out again, didn’t he?” I smirked a little.

“Uh huh.”

I sighed. “Our parents would be so proud…”

“Mine are.” Marilyn sighed. I miss you and your way of thinking...you always seem to know exactly what I’m on about…” he paused and I heard him laugh quietly. Remember that time when all I did was look at you and you threw me my make-up bag?”

“Which time?” I chuckled. “I miss you too…” I paused. “Brian?”

“Mhmm?” he mumbled through the phone.

“I...want to see you…” I finally said. “There’s something I feel I need to say...but that I need to do it in person…”

“Lily…” I heard the hesitancy in his voice.

I mentally cringed, backtracking as fast as I could. “Yeah, you’re right, you’re busy...so am I we’d never fit it in...and it’s not that important anyway, forget I mentioned it. I’m just-”

“I like you, Lily…” he stated bluntly.

I froze, my mind not sure I’d interpreted his tone right. So I decided to play it off as my mind playing a trick on me. “I like you too, Brian.” I smiled sadly. “You’re a wonderful…” ‘And completely fuckable’ my mind inserted. “Friend...I wouldn’t be me without you.”

“No, Lily, listen!” My heart lifted slightly as I heard the inclination in his voice. “I like you!” I shivered as his voice turned low and gravelly. “And I want to see you too…” I heard him chuckle darkly. “Alone…”

“Okay!” I squeaked and he laughed, followed by him making a sound like something hit him. I heard him cursing at Pogo and laughed too.

“Meet me on the corner of West and Maddison...Thursday… six o’clock.” he ordered as I heard a door close at his end of the phone.

“I’ll be there.” I smiled again.

“Oh, you better be.” I bit my lip at the tone in his voice. Damn! That voice needs to come with a warning label or something...it’s effect could be termed illegal! “If you’re not there within ten minutes of my getting there...I’m coming to get you.”

My laugh turned sultry. “You know what...I might just let you.”

“You don’t want to be alone in your apartment with me, gorgeous.” he growled. “In such a confined space...there’s no telling what I could do with you.”

My voice seductive, I replied. “Just try, Marilyn.” my breathing became a little heavier. “I dare you… just try…”

***

I heard a bang on my apartment door and jumped. I tip-toed to the door and looked through the peephole...it was Marilyn. I sighed, relieved; then I froze, ‘Wait...what day is it?’

I unlocked my door and he stepped inside immediately. “You scared me half to death!” I laughed nervously as I shut the door and locked it again. I looked at him and then at the  clock...it was only five thirty! I frowned. “What are you doing here?”

“This.” he replied bluntly as he stepped forward and, pressing me against the wall, crushed his mouth against mine in a kiss so deep I thought I might drown.

I don’t remember how but, several searing kisses later, we’d managed to move over to the couch. Even when I pulled back for air, his lips never left my skin; kissing along my jawline and down my neck to nip at my collarbone and then back up again.

I bit my lip, trying desperately to hold back the moans of pleasure that tried to escape me. “Just one of the things you could do with me?” I asked in reference to our current state, then gasped audibly as he nipped at the sensitive place behind my ear.

He let out a wicked laugh that, had I been standing, would’ve made my legs crumple beneath me. “The first of many…” he murmured between kisses. He pulled back and I pouted. “Careful, or I might want to bite that.” he growled quietly, rocking against me a little. This time, I did moan… and he chuckled darkly. “Be mine…” he whispered against my lips as my eyes closed.

I smiled as my hands found their way to his hair. “Always…” and I pulled him back down to me. The sound of the city outside dies away and there was nothing else but him...and me...and this moment…

And, as far as I was concerned… I could go on like this forever.
