Sex // Emilio Martinez

3

Scarlett arrived home drunk stumbling  to be greeted with Dan, her brother. Neither Dan or Scarlett were pleased to see each other.

"Ah, Scar; fucked up like always?" Dan said with a smirk.

"Jesus Christ, I'm not at the right house." Scarlett mumbles to a confused looking Dan. She had forgotten Emilio's offer to stay at his place until Dan left. It was now 1:30AM and she doubted Emilio was up or even willing to come get her. Little did she know Emilio had been up worrying about her since the time she left.

"No sweetie you're in the right house, or are you too wasted to realize where you are? Do you remember me? I'm Dan your brother." Dan said in a demeaning way.

"Oh shut the fuck up Dan, I know who you are and I know where I am. Don't act so high and mighty you're no better than me." Scarlett scoffed pushing Dan out of her way and up the stairs. She started to throw a bunch of clothes into her duffel bag as Dan watched.

"Can you get the fuck out? I'm not in the mood for your shit, obviously I'm not in the mood." Scarlett chokes out, fighting back tears.

Scarlett was an emotional drunk, probably because behind her cold heart she was an emotional person, you know what they say, drunk words are sober thoughts. The truth always come out with a little help from liquid courage. Scarlett wasn't sure why she wanted to cry, but she knew she wanted to. Maybe it was because seeing her brother brought back all the fucked up memories, or maybe it was from how cold he was being to her. Scarlett has always wanted a relationship with Dan, but Dan never felt the same. Dan hated her and Scarlett never knew why all she knew was that it hurt, a lot. Scarlett was used to the hostility from her brother but that doesn't mean the sadness it brought got any better. Or maybe the reason she wanted to cry was because in her fuzzy mind she had convinced herself that Emilio didn't want anything to do with her after she didn't show up when she said she would. Scarlett's original plan was to go home get a bag and come back but she made a few stops along the way, which included her best friend Amari's house which then led to the party down the block, which led her to this situation at her own house at 1:30 in the morning. She let the tears fall as she walked downstairs and out her door. She sat on her lawn and called Emilio.

"Scar it's almost 2 in the morning" a groggy Emilio picked up.

"I know, I fucked up. I didn't mean to be out so late it just kind of happened and then I ended up at my house and everything is fucked up. " Scarlett chokes out sniffling.

"Calm down where are you?"

"My grass."

"Have you been drinking?"

"No." Scarlett replies a little too quickly.

"Don't lie to me Scar. People aren't just out and about at this time." Emilio says annoyed

"I'm not lying, I swear I'm not. I'm always out this late."

"I'm going to hang up and call an uber for you it'll probably be there in 5 minutes, be ready." Emilio says hanging up.

Scarlett was partially right, she did fuck up and Emilio was mad. He knew Scarlett was lying and he didn't like being lied to, she made him worry for hours when she didn't show up when she was supposed to and didn't reply to his texts. But Emilio would do anything for Scarlett no matter what happened. 5 minutes later an uber pulled up and 15 minutes later Scarlett found herself waking up to Emilio opening the car door and helping her out.

"I can walk 'Milio, I told you I wasn't drunk." Scarlett said falling over and laughing.

"Yeah, I'm sure you aren't" Emilio sarcastically says, grabbing her arm and draping it over his neck to support her walking. He leads her to Ivan and his bedroom where Ivan is sleeping."Just be quiet not to wake my brother" he says whispering laying her down on his bed and taking off her shoes.

"Are you mad?" Scarlett saying puffing her bottom lip out.

"I'm a little upset." Emilio truthfully answers

"Well let me help you out with that." Scarlett giggles undoing Emilio's pants.

"No,no Scar not when you're drunk."

"Why not?"

"Because this isn't just sex. I'm not going to take advantage of you like that."

"Oh honey. This is just sex, you know that." Scarlett says softly

"Yeah you're right. I do know that, but I don't want it to be like that. I want it to be so much more than that Scar."

"Emilio. It can't be like that."

"Why can't it be?"

Scarlett thought for a moment but her her liquid courage took over "Because I don't think I can take my heart breaking another time."

"Who broke your heart?"

"There were four boys. The first boy to ever break my heart was my father." she says
