Even Wilder

Chapter 6.

The sound of beeping drags me away from sleep. I reach over and hit the stop button on my phone. As I go to slide out of bed a arm linked around my waist pulls be backwards into a body. Lip's body.

A pit in my stomach forms as I think of what Kevin would do or say when he sees Lip emerge from my room. I roll around to face the man in my bed. God he's perfect. His lips are parted slightly, his steady breaths take turns puffing between soft snores.

I brush his hair away from his face, his eyes slowly fluttering open. A smile crept on his lips, he pulls me in ever so tightly. "Good morning" I felt my cheeks get warm "Hi" I mumbled. He takes his hand off me and looks under the blanket and then back into me "we didn't...we didn't have sex last night?....did we?"

I let out a breath almost laughing "ha no...you don't remember last night?" He shook his head no "nothing happened. We just talked and slept" the smile never left his face from the moment he woke up "Good, I would want to remember it. I could get used to this every day" he said in a low voice stretching out on the bed.

He reached up to my face and moved my hair behind my ear, then brought his hand underneath my chin, holding it between his thumb and pointer finger. He licked his lips and began to lean in. I closed my eyes. I was waiting for his lips to press against mine when there was a sudden knock on the door. "Jess! Are you up?? Breakfast is done and we have to go to work. Svetlana was supposed to be home, but she called and isn't going to be home until tomorrow...can you watch the girls?"

I sat frozen.

Shit.

Fuck.

"I um. Yeah I can watch them. Go ahead and go I'll be out in a little bit. You can leave them in the high chairs" the door knob twists slightly but stops at a click. Remembering I locked the door last night. Thank god.

"Why's your door locked?" Kevin huffs 'teenagers' under his breath. "I'm getting dressed" I lied "seriously, I'll be out in a minute" I heard his footsteps go down and the kitchen floorboard creaked to ensure me he was no longer in front of my door.

"I'm going to go out there. Lock the door behind me. I'll let you know when he leaves, okay?" Lip just nodded and closed his eyes again. I jumped up and looked over my shoulder, lips eyes were still closed. I slipped on a pair of jean shorts. I turned around again, eyes still closed I quickly grabbed my bra and was about to put it on when I felt warm fingers slide over mine "Lip.." he laughs out his nose "Sorry. Thought you could use some help" he snapped the clasps in place dragging his hands along my skin. His face comes down on the side of mine, his lips brushed against my ear "Better get out there".

My legs begin to shake. Nobody's words have ever met effect on me like this. I turn around, our chests nearly touching "lock the door behind me?" He nodded

I moved aside and slipped my shirt on as I walked to the door. Lip following close behind me. I unlocked the door quickly and walked to the dining room. "Who is Svetlana?" I ask setting into a chair. Kev and V slowly looked at each other and smiled. "It's a long story.." V says, Kevin faces me "she and her son live here too"  I started to get really confused "But you only have a three room house? Where does she sleep? Did I take her room?" Kevin places a hand on my shoulder and pats it twice "No, she sleeps with us, it really is complicated, and granted not very appropriate to talk about around the girls"

Gross. What?

"Are you guys?" I looked between the two "is this only 2/3 of the whole relationship?" They nod. "Well okay then...You guys go ahead and go to work. I have the girls" I wanted them to leave quick before but now....I wish I could push them out myself.

I could see that Kev wanted to say a million things to me but he only nodded his head and walked to the door. V smiled and did the same "we'll be back around 4 to pick them up" she said and walked outside closing the door behind her.

I ran to the window and watched as they got into their car and pulled out the driveway, accelerating down the road. I made my way back to the kitchen and took the girls out of their high chairs and put them in the living room with their toys.

I quickly walked back to my room and knocked on the door. "Lip, it's me." Footsteps came closer to the door and the doorknob turned, pulling backwards showing his face "I have a crazy question" he blurts, I nodded signaling him to proceed.

"Can we take a shower? Together?" I looked at him. I could feel my jaw hanging loose staring at him. "I um...I guess" he smiled "great I grabbed you some clothes right here. I'm going to go grab a pair of kev's sweatpants. I'll meet you in the bathroom?" He says with a toothy grin. All I could do was nod. He moved past me and jogged up the stairs.

What the f*ck did I just get myself in to?
