Twisted Reality - Book 1

Ch.13 What Have I Done?

After school ended, I asked if Suzaku would let me stay at his place for a little while so we could get to know each other, I guess. We talked for a while, sharing a few laughs, and having a good time. Suzaku then remembered that he had to be at Lelouch's as I remembered when Lelouch invited me as well. We quickly got ready as I already had a spare change of clothes with me. I quickly changed into my blue, spaghetti strap tank top, black jeans, my brown blazer, and black converse sneakers. I brushed the tangles out of my hair before going to meet back up with Suzaku who was wearing a pair of jeans, a black shirt, a blue, short sleeve hoodie, and a pair of green converse. Grabbing my bag, I walked up to Suzaku. "Ready?"

He nodded. "Yeah, let's get going."

"And by the way, don't tell Lelouch we were hanging out together, much less talking about him behind his back."

"Umm, any particular reason?"

"Do you value your life?"

"Yeah."

"The keep quiet or I just might take it. That, and if he comes after me, I'm coming after you next. So, shh." I put a finger to my lips before he opened the door, chuckling.

"Fine, I got it." He said as we headed for the manor of Lelouch and Nunnally. I'll actually get to meet her for once too. I can't wait to finally meet her in person!

When we arrived at Lelouch's place, Suzaku knocked on the door. It opened to reveal Lelouch with a smile on his face. "There you two are. You're slower than I thought." He smirked.

I playfully punched him in the arm. "Don't be such a jerk, Lelouch..." I said before he allowed us in.

As I entered, he showed us to the kitchen. I entered the dining room and looked around, seeing a pink, paper crane on the table. Lelouch and Suzaku were busy talking in the kitchen as I walked over to the paper crane, picking it up as I examined it. I smiled; Nunnally must really like origami. After a few minutes of just examining the paper doll, I heard footsteps as I set it back down. "Does Nunnally like origami?" I asked when I saw the two boys enter, turning to them.

"Yeah. How'd you know?"

"I just noticed the paper crane and assumed she liked to make these."

"Yeah. Sayoko has been teaching her."

Lelouch came over to me, and before I knew it, he grabbed my hand, twirling me around before pulling my back to his chest, wrapping his arms around my stomach. I blushed slightly as he bit my ear. "So...why didn't you tell me?"

Crap! I'm in so much trouble!

"Tell you what?" I asked.

He got close to my face as I blushed deeper. "Don't play coy with me, Scarlett. You know exactly what I'm talking about."

Shit, shit, shit, shit! Okay, there are only three ways Lelouch could've found out. One, my phone was on and I didn't know it, two, Suzaku told him, or three, he can totally tell when I'm lying to him.

"Lelouch, what are you talking about?" I smiled nervously.

"Scarlett..." His arms constricted around my belly as I blushed, trying to hold back the whimper that threatened to escape from throat. "Tell me the truth, now, or I make you."

"I-I-I-I'm sorry." I stammered. "I didn't mean to!"

"Mm-hmm." He got close to my ear again. "Lovers don't keep secrets from each other. The next time you try to lie to me, I'm going to have to punish you."

"H-how did you even find out?"

"First of all, Suzaku told me because I always know when he's hiding something, and second, I also know when you're lying. You can't hide anything from me, Scarlett. Just remember that the next time you try to hide something from me." He let me go with a slight push as I blushed before turning around again.
