16 - Not the call I wanted

Dax

I had no idea how the girls managed to buy so much stuff and had so many bags. It looked like they had no end. After the fifth walk to the house, I finally got everything inside and walked back to Minnie.

"Thank you so much for doing this, Minnie. I know it wasn't the way you planned your day, but I hope it was okay nonetheless."

"Of course, Dax. Don't worry about me. It was really fun, and I'm really glad that I met Lily. She's a very sweet girl and I think we could become very good friends."

"Oh, I don't doubt it." She was just getting in her car when she spotted another small bag in it.

"Oh, almost forgot that one. Here, take it." She looked one last time inside her car to see if there was anything left. "That should be it. Have a good night, Dax." And she left me without giving me a chance to respond. While I was walking back in my house, I looked at the small white bag with a pink bow on it and golden letters. I really didn't want to look inside it, it was a Lily's thing, but when I put in on the low table in the living room, I saw the red lace inside it and I just couldn't...I was too curious to see what was it. I pulled out a red and black lace set of a bra and panties and was left speechless. Just the image of Lily in that thing made me hard in a second. She was going to look so sexy in it, I just...I couldn't...Damn it, Lily. How can you make me lose control even when you are not around? I remembered the light kisses she was leaving on my neck while I was telling her my family drama. I don't know if she even realized that she was doing it, but it felt so good. Fuck! I was a goner.

I quickly put the lingerie back in the bag and tried not to think about it... or Lily wearing it. It was gonna be a hard task. Just when I was wondering if I'll need to take care of the problem in my pants, my phone rang. I looked at the caller's ID, and just like that, the boner was gone.

"What do you want, Rebecca?"

"Oh, hello to you too, Dax. How are you?" Was she for real? Why she couldn't understand that I didn't want to talk to her anymore?

"I don't have time for bullshit. I thought I made myself clear the last time we talked."

"Oh, Dax. Don't be like that. We both know that sooner or later, we're gonna be back together, so there's no need to be so aggressive."

"This shit ain't gonna happen. There is no 'we', and there won't be, eighter. I don't even know why I picked up the phone. Bye, Rebecca. Lose my number."

"Oh, but don't you wanna know about your sister? I thought you cared for her, or you decided to leave her too?"

"What are you talking about? Tell me what about her?"

"I don't know. It looked like you weren't that interested in talking to me a minute ago." I'm gonna end her.

"Stop with the crap and talk." I was really angry at the moment. She knew that Caitie was my weakness and used it against me.

"You are not funny, Dax."

"Never told I was."

"Okay, okay. Gees, what craw up your pants?"

"Rebecca, what were you gonna tell me about Caitie?"

"Well, you know that we are very close friends with her..." Unfortunately. It so happened that the two of them were friends when they were in school and stayed very close even after they graduated, and I didn't even know it. Becca was one of the girls who helped my sister get back on track with her studies. I found out when I saw them one day at the mall. It was really strange to unveil that I was seeing one of my sister's friends, and neither one of them told me about it.
