“Tell Karen my woman is just fine,” Spike murmurs, crossing his arms.
The officer glances at me. “Ma’am, I have to ask, are you okay?”
Nodding, I try to fight the smile on my face. “Yes, everything is perfectly fine here. We were, ah, watching something.”
Narrowing his eyes, the officer glances at the ground beside my feet, where my torn panties lay on the patio. I follow his gaze, and a nervous giggle leaves my throat. “Oh, those damn kids, always running around with my washing.”
I lean down and scoop them up, shoving them behind my back and offering a guilty smile.
The moment he figures out what is going on, the officer nods quickly. “I see everything is fine here. Sorry to bother you.”
With that, he leaves.
Spike glances over at Karen’s fence, and we can see a faint light behind it. Oh, she’s there listening.
“Hate to break it to ya, Karen,” Spike calls, “but those weren’t screams of pain, they were screams of pleasure. Should try it out some time. I’ve got friends, if you need ...”
The light flicks out quickly, and I slap Spike’s arm. “Stop being so mean.”
“She wants to stick her nose in,” he murmurs, hooking an arm around my waist, “then she can deal with the consequences.”
I can’t help it.
I grin.
Yeah, this one is mine.
2 – Ciara
“This is nice,” Addi walks through my small room, nodding at every little thing like it’s a luxury mansion. “I wouldn’t mind being stuck here for two days a week. A bed, coffee machine, and television, girl you are set.”
“It’s a shared shower.” I scrunch my nose. “I feel like I’m just graduating school and coming here as a young person. I don’t share.”
“Well,” Spike mutters, glancing around, his arms crossed, “you can give this shit up and come home. Where you have a shower.”
Addison glares at him. “Stop being such a baby, Spike. She’s staying. This is good for her. You and your dick will survive two days.”
“Fuck off, Addison.”
She blows him a kiss.
I grin.
“I’ll be fine, I mean, it’s only two nights. At least my room locks and I don’t have to share with anyone.”
I was originally going to stay in a unit with a few other students for a night, but a room came up to share with another girl who comes and goes, and I was offered it for less. I decided to accept, considering it is right outside the campus and I can go to my classes easily from here. It’s only a couple of nights, and at least I can have time to myself here.
“Any fucker even so much as attempts to come in here, I’ll break their fuckin’...”
“Oh calm down,” Addi interrupts Spike’s rant. “She’s not going away to army camp; she’s doing a bit of study to become a nurse. You need to chill.”
His scowl makes me giggle.
“Just think,” I say, smiling at him, “you have Addi now to keep you company while I’m not there.”
He shoots me a warning look.
“I’m offended by that look,” Addison scoffs. “Now, I’m going to be even more annoying.”
“Fuck’s sake, I’m waitin’ outside.”
Turning, Spike shoves the door open and walks out. A girl walking past stops, her eyes widening, and she stares at him leaving. He can’t just come in and out, security and all that, but there are times I can let him in with my pass. It feels very ... teenager. Once he’s gone, Addison turns to me and starts laughing. “My gosh, he is not okay with this.”
I grin. “Nope, but he doesn’t get a choice. He will always support me, even if it kills him. I know he’s not happy though.”
“He’ll get used to it. I won’t lie, I’m kind of jealous. I wish I could get away for two days a week to lay in this bed at night in silence, with a book, and chocolate ...”
Exhaling, she flops onto the bed.
“You can come squish in with me anytime,” I say, staring at the single bed. “I can’t promise it’ll be comfortable, but it will be quiet.”
She stretches her arms out. “I might just do that, you know.”
“Door is always open, except between certain hours, then you have to sign in.”
Rolling her eyes, she sits up and stares out the window. “I think I could climb in here, no problem at all.”
I point to the screw that only allows it to go out so far. “Unless you’re the size of a newborn, I think you might get stuck.”
She huffs. “Well bloody hell.”
“Don’t worry,” I say, grinning. “We’ll get you in.”
“Oh, I can’t wait. I’m even more excited for the parties. Is it bad that I want to party even though I’m a mother now?”
I shake my head. “We’re allowed to live, too.”
“You’re right, we are. Come on, we better go see your moping man before I take him home.”
