Heartstrings

5. The Laundry Room

Dae's POV

Finally, after spending Sunday morning in a hot kitchen cooking and running around between rooms, I went upstairs to take a nice hot shower because my hands smelled like garlic and meat sauce. It felt relaxing to stand in a hot shower as the water runs over my tense body. My clothes were on the bed and I made sure that I wore something comfortable. I wanted to make some margaritas since Serene liked them so much. After going downstairs to look through my refrigerator, I found some fresh mangoes and peaches.

Papa put the chicken on the grill and the aroma filled the house. The balcony was surrounded with smoke from the grill. I walked out to the back and Papa gave me the ribs to put in the oven. Making sure the meat stayed hot I left the oven on a low setting.

After blending the fruit in the blender, I went to the freezer and reached my hand in the back of the freezer and I knew instantly that Becca was missing too. Serene was helping with some desserts and I knew if I found the ice cubes, I would find Becca too. 

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I gave Serene some sauce for the grill. "Can you give this to Papa? I'll be back." I went to the front door and put on my shoes before going outside. Walking towards the laundry room, I paused in place when I heard skin slapping and muffled moaning. Thinking to myself, I knew they're going to get me evicted.

I took a deep breath and leaned on the door frame.

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

KNOCK!

The moaning stopped and the door was locked from the inside. "You know that there are cameras in the laundry room right?"

"SH*T!"

"Shh. Maybe she will go away."

"Becca? Do you know where the ice cubes are?" I knew Becca and Mike were up to their normal routine again. I'm surprised that she's not pregnant yet. Taking a moment to stay calm, I knew security had a full show since Mike and Becca were sexually adventurous.

"Becca, I know you took them because you're the only one that knows that there is a stash in the BACK of the fridge." Again, the muffled moans continued and at this point. I was fed up. "Since you don't want to answer, I'm going to open the door so stop whatever it is that your'e going."

I picked the lock and opened the door. Becca stood up before facing me. With ice in her mouth, I look over at Mike and his face was extremely red. Smiling at Mike, she holds her hand out. Shaking his head side to side refusing to whatever Becca was trying to get from him. She whispered something in his ear and he smiled. When he opened his mouth, she pulls out black lace and tucks them in her bra.

"OH GOD!" I yelled without thinking.

"What?" she replied shrugging her shoulders.

"Are those your panties?"

"Yeah. They're cute right. Fredrick's had an amazing sale. Right babe?"

Mike started to blush even harder as he pulls his pants up. "Yeah and you taste delicious."

"Dae, I wanted some meat too. I just prefer mine raw." 

"Becca! There are cameras and what if I get evicted?"

"If you get evicted, you can stay with me duh!"

"YOU JUST SMASHED IN THE LAUNDRY ROOM! THE CAMERA IS ALWAYS ON!" I was furious and at that moment I didn't care if my neighbors heard me. I may not live in a luxury apartment but, I've been here since I moved out during my junior year of high school.
