After experiencing a full body orgasm that drained her of her energy, Rose settled beside Nic as they laid on the bed, cuddling silently. Neither of them spoke as they seemed to be enjoying the brief lull.
"I wish I can stay here forever." Rose blurted out suddenly as she drew circles on his chest. "I don't want to go back to the empty house."
"Empty house?" Nic asked, looking at the girl huddled in his embrace, using his arm as pillow.
"Mhmm, since the witch is on a vacation, it's just me for a few days." She answered casually without much thought.
"Witch?" Nic caught her slip of tongue and questioned with a raised brow.
"Uhh, that..." She became flustered and mumbled sheepishly. "Its... my stepmother."
She saw his eyebrows twitch into a frown and was about to explain when he said something she didn't expect.
"Does she not treat you well?" He asked, as the hand wrapped around her tightened. "Does your father know? What about your mother?"
The concern in his voice made her oddly happy and she felt assured to speak her true thoughts with him.
"My mom died when I was born and my dad passed away when I was 11." She answered with a nonchalant shrug. "Since then, its just me and... my stepmother. But she never liked me much. I'm just a b-burden she cannot throw away."
Nic pulled her closer and rubbed her back gently. "Its alright, you can stay here as long as you want. And you are always welcome here at anytime."
"R-Really?" Rose was surprised at his offer as she didn't actually expect him to agree so easily. "So, I can s-stay here?"
"Of course, you can." Nic answered as a matter of factly and grinned as he squeezed her boobs in his palm. "And we'll have a lot of fun together, baby girl."
"Uhmm~" Rose let out a soft moan and leaned closer for a kiss but stopped just as their lips touched.
"No, wait, I can't." She blurted out as she remembered something. "If I dont show up at my house, Mrs. Lawson will get suspicious."
Nic looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked. "Who?"
"Mrs. Lawson, uh... she lives right next to us. She knew my dad for a long time when he was alive, so now she keeps an eye on me for him."
Then she continued. "I mean, although she can be nosy and annoying sometimes, its because of her I could still go to school here."
"What do you mean?" Nic asked, confused.
"Umm, soon after my dad died, Witch tried to send me to some faraway boarding school in another state," Rose replied bitterly with a despondent look on her face. "But Mrs. Lawson found out and convinced her to let me continue studying here."
She then nuzzled deeper into his embrace and murmured quietly. "In a way, if not for her, maybe you and I would've never met each other at all."
Nic noticed her distressed expression and remembered something she said in the back alley.
'I just want to feel loved...'
He let out a deep sigh and planted a soft kiss on her lips as he spoke. "Don't worry about anything and just stay here tonight. I'll drop you off in the morning in time for school, okay?"
Rose gave him a sweet smile and nodded. "Okay."
"Good. Now then," he quickly flipped over and looked at her with a lascivious grin. "Let's not waste any more time."
-•-•-
In a dark room, two bodies laid tangled on top of each other on the large bed. The room was quiet but for the loud snoring.
The bodies shifted around and a slender figure slipped from underneath the large body.
The feminine shadow sat up, shaking her head and looking around in the darkness. Once her eyes got accustomed to the lack of light, she glanced back at the burly body still snoring on the bed and slowly stood up.
Stumbling on her feet, the silhouette steadied herself and staggered out of the room, clutching her head in hand. Everywhere was submerged in darkness and she accidentally stepped on something thick and texture-y.
She picked it up and recognized it to be her handbag. She quickly fished out her phone but it was switched off. And when she turned it on, she was inundated with dozens of voice mails and unread messages.
But what shocked her the most was the simple text on the background.
Sunday.
1:40 PM
'What?!' The figure rubbed her eyes and looked again, only to see the same result.
'Aaghh!!!' She tried to think but a dizzying headache came crashing onto her, nearly causing her to fumble.
Gritting her teeth, she looked around, searching for something. But the room was a mess with things scattered everywhere as if a tornado blew through the house. She slowly made her way around, grabbing things off the floor and gathering her belongings before moving towards the main door.
As carefully and quietly as she can, the feminine shadow unlocked the door and opened it just enough for her slender frame to slip though. She then stepped out into the midnight, dragging a suitcase with one hand and holding her dress and heels in the other.
Closing the door behind her, the naked woman sat on her suitcase and pulled out her phone. She then briefly scrolled through the messages and sighed before calling someone.
"Come on. Pick up, pick up, pick up..." The woman muttered under her breath as she shook her foot impatiently.
The night sky above was devoid of moon and stars, and the desolate surroundings made it seemed like she was truly in the middle of nowhere.
"YOU MOTHER FUCKIN BITCH!!" A high pitched voice shouted angrily as soon as the call connected . "WHERE THE HELL DID YOU DISAPPEAR TO?"
"Urghh!" the woman let out a muffled groan and spoke. "Listen, I need you to-"
"You better have a goddamn good reason for ditching me last minute." The voice on the other end growled, not letting her speak. "And then you f'in ignore my calls and messages for 3 fuckin days?!"
"I didn't ditch you, I just... Ugh!" She grumbled, clutching her aching head in hand. "I will make it up to you. But, please come and pick me up first."
Listening to the somber and pleading tone of her voice, the voice on the other end went quiet for a couple seconds before responding. "Alright, I have your location. I'll be there as fast as I can. Hang tight, Mira."
