Fallout

Chapter 6

Written by: Karen

EJ flopped onto his bed with a bit more force than usual although he was sure if his family hadn't thwarted him every freaking time he had tried to speak to Sami alone, he wouldn't be feeling this wound up. What was up with everyone? Kristen calling him a creeper hadn't help matters at all.

He wasn't a stalker; he just wanted a chance to speak with Sami without everyone else around. If he was supposed to look out for her, he needed to get to know her as a person, to find out what she liked and disliked, even tease her some without being intentionally mean towards her. That's what a big brother would do, right?

There was no telling how long his father would be in her room talking to her. Stefano's protectiveness over Roman's daughter was evident, to the point where he was thinking his sons were going to try to hit on her. Didn't they know him better? He would never take advantage of her ever.

EJ spied his phone on the bed; it must have fallen out of his pocket when he flung himself on the bed. He picked it up and hit his password to open up his phone. Damn something huge must have happened tonight because as he scrolled down his messages, there were so many texts from Philip that it was even extreme for his verbose best friend.

Are you sure you can't sneak out of this family night?

The girls R looking fine tonight!

Melanie says hi!

Damn I had to wrench my phone back from Mel. you know I wouldn't be so chipper with you.

Chloe said you are a wanker for not showing up.

Chloe just read the last text and made me tell you I said you were a wanker, not her.

Girls! Senior girls are checking me out!

I'm such a stud!

Did I tell you I'm throwing a party this upcoming Saturday night?

Knox spoke to me even if it was only to say we better not fuck up at the game next week.

Knox is a wanker.

I need my wingman with me!

You missed the most awesome night ever!

You're never gonna guess what I got tonight.

Wait for it…wait for it…

Unless you call me I'm not telling you!

Why aren't you calling me?

Wanker!

EJ rolled his eyes. Philip must have been drinking; then again his best friend didn't have to drink to act like a fool. It just came naturally to him. Instead of trying to respond to the myriad of texts EJ decided to call him although he doubted anything amazing happened to Philip even if he was the horniest virgin at Salem High.

Even before Philip could answer hello EJ was giving him hell. "Why did you feel the need to blow up my phone? Would no one talk to you?"

"It was like girls gone wild tonight. Lexie wasn't there to make her girls behave and boy they were naughty."

"You're such a liar. Those girls don't want to get kicked off the cheerleading squad. It's too fucking hard for them to make the squad."

"You're such a pansy to even know it would be difficult for the girls to make the squad."

"Hello, my two sisters run the squad. I know everything about the cheerleaders' even things I don't want to know."

"You don't know what Chloe Lane did for me tonight…" Philip said in a sing song voice.

"Tell you to get lost?"

"No my friend, I got the best gift a guy can get."

EJ was silent for a few seconds trying to figure out exactly what Philip was talking about. "Have you been drinking Phil?"

"No, I'm just high on life!"

"Are you huffing glue, smoking crack?"

"No, you moron, Coach has random drug tests."

"Well knowing your connections I figured your dad would get you out of anything if you did do something."

"Pot, kettle, your dad is the mobster."

"He is not, you jackass!"

"Speaking of your dad what was so freaking important you had to miss the most incredible night ever?"

"It's a long story," EJ didn't really want to get into it tonight, hell he still couldn't wrap his mind around Roman being dead and Sami moving into the mansion. He just needed some more time to process everything before he told Philip.

"Speaking of long…"

"Please, you give your genitalia too much credit."

"That's not what Chloe thinks. Come on man, if you're not going to tell me what is going on with you then you need to at least be courteous and ask about me."

"Spill it. I'm tired and it's late."

"Oh I spilt it all right into Chloe's mouth."

"You are so full of shit. You are still a virgin."

"No, I swear I'm on the road to manhood."

"By saying that, proves how much you aren't."

"I've experienced something you haven't."

"You are lying."

"Chloe gave me a bj!"

"Bullshit!"

"No lie. I gave her a ride home from the team bonding and we stopped along the way prior to taking her home and before I knew it she had those luscious lips on my…"

"Shut up! Stop lying. Chloe is a good girl."

"Yeah, she's good, very good. I think I'm in love."

"You said you thought you were in love with Melanie Jonas last week."

"That was last week, this week it's Chloe for sure especially after she sucked my…"

"Shut up you freak! I do not want a play by play of your imaginary bj."

"I'm not imagining this because EJ it was like Christmas, New Year's Eve, my birthday and Fourth of July all wrapped up in one explosive package! You see the imagery? Fireworks?"

"I bet you didn't even last a minute."

"That doesn't matter, we weren't having sex. This was like the preliminaries to the main event which I'm betting will happen Saturday night at the biggest and best party of the year at my house."

"Your parent's won't let you throw a party."

"They are going out of town."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Mom and Dad must want some kind of romantic weekend away even though I know they don't get tired of my awesomeness! I'm the fruit of their loins."

"Gross! That is nasty! You're parents are old. They don't have sex anymore."

"EJ, sex is not nasty."

"This coming from the virgin."

"Right back at you, At least I've gotten a blow job; all you've ever had is your hand!"

"I'm hanging up."

"You know it's…"

EJ shut off his phone so that Philip couldn't call him back. Now he had unwanted visions of Chloe going down on Philip. How was he ever going to look at Chloe the same way again? He just hoped if she had done something with Philip that he wouldn't tell anyone else or she would be upset and Chloe Lane put the drama in drama queen.

EJ wasn't a prude; he just wasn't willing to sleep with anyone just for the hell of it like Philip seemed on the verge of doing if he could talk Chloe into it. He doubted Philip would even have a party, but if his best friend threw one, he would be expected to be there.

Long ago his father had put the fear of god into him when he was twelve years old telling him he didn't want to be a grandfather before his time. But part of EJ wondered what it might be like to get a blow job. Philip made it sound pretty awesome, but then again his best friend was a huge bullshitter. He may have made the entire thing up just to give him hell about missing out on going with the basketball team.

That was it, Philip was lying and this time he was telling a whopper of a tale just to make him think he was the only guy on the basketball team to never receive a blow job, much less get laid. Damn being a teenager sucked big-time. He was so ready to grow up and be an adult, not just a sixteen year old who was totally inexperienced about sex.

He had to get his mind off of sex, his lack of it and how much he wanted to experience something. He needed to think about something else, anything but sex.

He didn't have any homework since he always kept up on all of his assignments from his teachers. He wasn't a procrastinator, which was good since he wanted to graduate with top honors in his class. He and Lexie were the studious ones of the bunch. Kristen and Chad would always wait until the last minute to work on school projects or study. Tony was the lucky one though, he had a photographic memory, just one look over something and he seemed to retain the information.

No homework to occupy his mind. He didn't want to think about his conversation with Philip anymore. He put on his headphones and started to listen to some music to pass the time away.

When would his father would leave Sami's room where he could at least go tell her goodnight? Surely he wouldn't have to wait up all night? All he wanted to say was a proper goodnight to Sami. He rationalized it was just good manners, something his father stressed for each of his children to have toward others.

Then after what seemed like hours and he was sure he the coast was clear he was ready to go see her, but before he opened up his bedroom door, there she walked into his room instead.

"Sami?"

"Yep, it's me. Hey, I just wanted to let you know that earlier I could hear you in my room while you were talking on your phone."

He must have been loud since the DiMera mansion was sturdily built. "The entire conversation?" EJ asked hoping Sami hadn't heard everything he and Philip had been discussing.

"No, just the part where you were yelling bullshit and then my curiosity revved up over who you might be talking to where you felt the need to yell."

EJ tried to sound convincing. "I wasn't yelling."

"Believe me, you were yelling. So tell me, or I'll ask Kristen who it might be."

EJ couldn't believe it, the girl hadn't even been here a full twenty-four hours yet and she was already figuring out who to blackmail about certain things. She would definitely fit into this family well with those aspects in her personality.

"It was my best friend Philip. He was lying to me about something and I called him on it."

"Lying? Surely that wouldn't upset you."

"I wasn't upset, just skeptical. Trust me after you meet him, you will understand."

Sami plopped down on EJ's bed, "Go ahead and tell me or I won't be able to go asleep tonight for trying to figure it out." EJ immediately shook his head no, which prompted Sami to get nearer to him. "Come on EJ, tell me."

Did she have no idea how enticing she looked, sitting there on his bed, dressed in only a strappy tank top and cute boy shorts?

"I can't, it's not appropriate."

She broke out into a smile, "EJ, you can tell me anything. I promise I won't tell." She held out one of her pinkies already crooked for him to clasp within his own.

EJ hesitated, just the thought of touching her anywhere even as innocently as a pinkie swear was going to make it difficult for him to not want to pull her over to him and intimately explore that tempting body of hers. She kept her eyes on his, never looking down all the while patiently waiting for him to spill his secret to her.

EJ held out his hand, his much larger pinkie finger wrapping around her much smaller digit. "Philip told me he got a bj tonight and I'm not 100% sure he was telling the truth."

Sami didn't release her finger as she arched her brow, "Because why?"

"The guy hasn't ever gotten one before and the one night I fail to go with him as his wingman he gets a bj from one of the cutest girls in school?"

"Have you gotten one before?"

EJ didn't know what to say, should he tell her while he hadn't ever been a lucky recipient of one yet, he sure as hell wanted to be?

Sami pressed him further for an answer when it seemed like he had lost his ability to speak. "Cat got your tongue? Have you or haven't you?"

EJ recalled one of the best ways to avoid a question is to pose one yourself. "Have you?"

She broke out into a nervous laugh, "Silly, I can't get a blow job."

EJ decided to shift his weight on his bed, his hand slid up her arm and he pulled on it enough to cause her to tumble down where she was underneath him, "No, but you can get something else instead. Have you ever had someone to go down on you?"

She instantly blushed and EJ liked the tables to be turned with her being the one to pause before answering. She suddenly became mute as well only shaking her head no in response.

"Well let's remedy that then, shall we?" EJ grinned and began to spread her legs so that he could settle down in between them. He hadn't removed her boy shorts yet, but he would as he slowly ran his hands up her thighs, getting closer until…

He awoke with a start, full of frustration. He immediately realized what he happened. He'd just had a wet dream about Sami, his new sister.
