;DWell~ I was gonna update this last night. Long story short, I slept through the new year and almost burnt the house down (:
So0o Read and Review! ~This is a little Harper/Goggle chapter for all of you :3
Last night was somewhat awkward. After coming home, everyone went to their respective rooms after dinner and was out like a light. Except for Counter, who stayed on the couch, and kept me up watching The Maury Show, until 2 in the morning. Lizard stayed on the couch with us, until around 12. Apparently he became so damn irritated that he went to our room, sending a glare my way and a sour look upon his face. Counter patted my hair, tossing a small pillow at me playfully.
"You alright Ophie?" He asked, watching the grey haired man trudge down the hallway. I nodded, sighing loudly as the door slammed.
"He's fine." I sighed, sitting back further into the couch. He huffed, turning away from me and watching some large woman screaming 'he da baby daddy.'
"I asked if you were alright. Not the old fucker." He spat. I slugged him in the shoulder, watching the atrocity unfold on the tv.
"He's not..you don't...ugh..I'm fucking fine.." I moaned out, unable to look him in the eyes. I kept hearing Haprer's words in my head, and searched my memories. Was there even one time where he was possessive, but I didn't understand.
"Ophie..what's with you? I mean..c'mon..a freaky hybrid?" He said, taking a bite out of my chocolate bar. I pushed him away by his cheek, taking back my chocolate bar from his fiendish hands. We went on for about two more hours, before I decided to kick in the towel, and he muttered something about going home and making sure the dogs were alright. I agreed, not fully awake and comprehensive and went off to my room.
I opened the door, expecting to see a sleeping Lizard. Instead, he was awake. He was sitting up in bed, the main light off, but with the bedside lamp was on, giving the room a sort of eerily casting glow. He had his back against the head board, his pants and shirt tossed over onto the desk chair. His arms were folded across his chest, and he glared at me as I stepped into the bedroom.
"What?" I asked, tilting my head as I closed the door silently behind me. He huffed, his lip rising up a little as he slammed the side light off, and turned on his side, facing away from me. I stayed quiet, pulling off my clothes silently and slipping on the shirt he wore today and a pair of sweatpants. I laid down next to him, but he scooted further towards the edge, and farther away from me. I whined, shimmying forward, and pressing against his back. A low growl rose from his chest, making me bounce back. My chest clenched as he stayed away from me for the rest of the night. At around 3:30, I couldn't take just staring at his back anymore and I got up, grabbing a blanket from the closet. I felt his eyes watch me as I left the room, leaving only a sliver of the door open.
I went back out into the living room, plopping down on the sofa and clicking back on the tv. The seat was still warm from when Counter and I sat here, and I was watching some old Saturday Night Live episodes that were on reruns. I began to flow in and out of sleep, but something kept tugging at my heart strings. I looked towards the hallway, where I think I saw Lizard leaning against the wall. Or was that just a dream?
I remember falling asleep on the couch, by myself in a thin blanket. When I woke up, I was sleeping in Lizard's lap, both of us wrapped up in the large blanket that was once on my bed, and there were two, wet, black noses stuffing themselves into my face. I lept back, but immediately began giggling as the German shepherd and Rottweiler jumped up on the couch, and began licking and nuzzling me. Lizard woke up with a snort, and jumped a little at the sight of the dogs.
Couter was in the kitchen, drinking some coffee.
"Jude sent them to live with me after he got home. I guess your dogs reminded him of you too much, and it hurt." He said, grabbing his coffee and an apple before stepping out onto the back porch.
"Wha' tha' fuck these thin's?" Lizard said, wrapping his arms around my waist, and tried to tug me behind him.
"These 'things' are my babies!" I cried, leaping out and wrapping my arms around the shepherds neck. Ruby, Greg and Harper came running out after they heard the Rottweiler bark, and began hugging the fluffy beasts. Goggle stayed in the shadows of the hallway, rubbing at his shoulder. Harper gave him worried looks, and whispered into my ear.
"A dog ripped off his arm. They had to re-attach it. He's just gonna be a little sketchy around them." She whispered, laying down on the ground with the female Rottweiler.
"This baby girl right here, is Nuclear." I said, pointing towards the Rottweiler who was taking a trip to lala land with Harper.
"And this baby boo boy is Thor." I said, rubbing behind the German shepherd's ears as he began to lick Ruby and Greg. Thor brought his massive head up, placing it on my leg, his big hazel eyes staring Lizard in the face. He leaned further away from Thor, trying to drag me too, making the poor pup whimper.
"Aye! He just wants you to pet him. C'mere baby." I said, patting the couch next to me, making his tail wag as he lept onto the couch, and began licking my face, his tail thumping. I laughed, wrapping my arms around his neck, scratching and rubbing him all over and kissing his muzzle.
"Oh! I missed you baby! Yes! Yes! Yes~I did!" I baby-talked to him as he nuzzled, plopping down in my lap. I grabbed Lizard's hand, bringing it towards the beast's head. The dog waited patiently, not wanting to scare a possible ear scratch away. His hand touched warm fur, and he hummed in confusement as the dog practically rolled over for him, showing him his belly.
"That means he trusts you. He wants you to rub it." I said, reaching forward, and lightly rubbing my palm over his soft tummy. Thor groaned, stretching out his legs as he got a double tummy rub, and a large smile split Lizard's face. Counter whistled from the kitchen, calling the dogs for food and water. They hopped away, running towards the kitchen for the food. Goggle slid out from the shadows, as I took notice of Nuclear's rather chubby build.
"She's pregnant too." Harper announced, and I nodded.
"Yup. Thor is her mate." I said, smiling as the two began scarfing down the food.
"Yessir. She's actually due tomorrow. So were getting ready for that." Count said, motioning towards the large dog bed, that was covered in newspapers, blankets and stuffed animals in the corner of the room.
"Ruby! Ya get'a watch 'n learn from a pooch!" Goggle cackled, as Harper knocked his hat off and plopped it on her head.
"O0o0oh Thor! KISSY KISSY!" She called, as Thor came thundering over towards her and Goggle, prepared to give Goggle a kissing party of a life time. Goggle gasped, scrambling up and trying to run towards the bedroom. If only he knew that when you run, a dog will chase you more. Thor knocked him down, face first into the ground, and began sniffing him down, licking the side of his face. I whistled, calling Thor to go back into the kitchen, as Harper skipped over towards her fiance.
"So..what'chu say to Rubes?" She crouched down next to the collapsed man. Goggle turned around, laying on his back.
"S-sorry.." He muttered, wrapping his arms around Harper and hiding in her shoulder. She patted his head, a loving smile on her face.
I was about to say something, when Ruby shot up and ran to the bathroom, her hand cupping her mouth. I sighed as Harper frowned.
"She alright?" Counter said, only hearing her flee from the room.
"Morning sickness. I'll just make her some tea and we have crackers in the drawer." Jude said, taking out a mug, plopping in a tea bag, filling it with water and throwing it in the microwave.
"We'll she's going to be takin' a sick day. How about we just split up 'n walk around?" Harper asked. Before I could even say 'sure', she was tugging Goggle's mask on and dragging him out the door. Lizard huffed, standing up and dragging me with him. Nuc whined, and wobbled over towards the bathroom where Ruby and Greg were. Apparently she was going to be spending time with her pregnant counterpart. Counter mutted something about having had Thor fixed soon after they found out Nuc was going to have babies.
"So, what do you want to do-"
"Whatddya wanna do-"
Lizard and Counter glared at each other, tension thick in the air. I grimaced, grabbing Lizard by the arm and began dragging him towards the back door.
"We're just gonna go take a walk in the marsh. See ya Count!" I called quickly, whistling for Thor who came dashing out with us. Thor wouldn't run away, and he was trained very well, so he wouldn't go running away. I closed the back door, watching Counter's face drop as he bent down and grabbed for his bag. I didn't see anything else as I ran further into the back yard, going out the gate and slipping further into the wilderness.
"Where we goin'?" Lizard asked, watching me jump onto half rotted, collapsed trees, moss covered rocks and small streams.
"Going to the marsh! C'mon! Don't slow us down!" I called, jumping over a little stream. Thor barked, startling the older man, making me cackle wildly. He growled, jumping over the stream in one leap, and began to chase me, with a large smile on his face.
!~!~~!~!~!~!~!~~!~HARPER'S POV!
I laughed, running through the streets back towards the secret beach that Ophelia took us to before. I spied some large cliffs not to far away, and I really wanted to explore those. Goggle ran right behind me, that god forsaken mask on his face. I hated that damn mask, but what could I do. I soon felt the soft squish of sand under my bare feet, huh, I probably should have thrown on some shoes before leaving. I had on some jean shorts and a plain white t-shirt and I ran to the water's edge, before taking a swift right and running towards the cliffs. I went into ankle deep water, kicking up crystal liquid as I ran. Goggle sputtered behind me, wearing another pair of black basketball shorts and a blue shirt.
"'Arper! Wait up! Ah! Kickin' 'n makin' me wet!" Goggle complained, spitting water out of his mouth as he raced after me. He grabbed my arm, making me slow down.
"What's we runin' to?" He asked, slowing us down to a walk. The cool water rushed over my ankles, as the sun poured heat down on us. I sighed, rolling up my sleeves and letting my oxygen deprived skin soak up the sun. I tugged off Goggle's mask, stuffing it into his pocket and adjusted his hat on my head. His hair seemed more white-blond in the sun, and his skin seemed paler. We came to the foot of the ocean cliff, and I pointed up.
"There!" I said, happily finding a nice, dusty trail that lead up to the head of the cliff. I saw a sign that said that this cliff was used for cliff diving practice. I thought that seemed like a pretty good idea to me, I mused as we began taking the trek up the mountain.
"Don't ya see 'nuff cliffs at home?" He asked halfway up our trail. I shrugged.
"Well..I'm not really allowed to go up there with you." I recalled the time I tried to go find him, only to be attacked by rattlesnakes and an angry Goggle. He hummed.
"I didn't mean ta' yell atcha that 'un time..Ju's..home'sa dangerous place.." He sighed, letting go of my hand and wrapping it around my waist. I snuggled into his side, despite the heat.
"I know...I just wanna help sometimes..and..you leave for long amounts of time..'n..you never tell em how long ya'll be gone.." I said honestly, shuffling my feet against the rock covered floor.
"I knaw..'s jus'...tha's my family..I gotta do my job..gotta watch.." Goggle said, kissing my temple.
"We'll..would it be bad..if I came with you..a few times?" I asked quietly. Goggle hummed, taking his free hand and scratching his head, running his hand down over half his face.
"As long as ya' don't distract me...'er seduce me..'er get attacked by wildlife.." He said as we reached the pointed tip of the cliff. We sat on the edge, our sides pressed together.
"Promise?" I asked, my head against his shoulder, his hand gripping my hip.
"Promise." He said, stealing back his hat. I snuffed, snatching the hat away from him and plopping it back on his head.
"Wha's with you 'n tha' freakin' hat." He asked, watching me adjust the hat.
"It's yours..so I like it..besides..makes me look..spiffy.." I said, winking at him. He huffed.
"Jus'ta hat."
I snorted, rolling my eyes and stood up, taking his hands and trying to haul him up. He laughed, humoring me and stood up.
"Now what bab'girl?" He asked, but his eyes shrank into dots as I pointed over the edge. He began backing up, dragging me with him.
"No..no. No0o0o." He laughed, seemingly scared out of his mind. I smiled evilly, trying to drag him back towards te edge.
"Please! Please Go-baby!" I whined as he began to walk back down the trail. I huffed, snapping my hand away from him as I stomped back over towards the edge.
"FINE! I shall go mah-self!" I yelled, backing up a little, ready to take a running start. Worry and adrenaline began to pump through my veins. Hey, the sign was for a local SCHOOL cliff diving team. I heard Goggle coming back up the trail, and yip.
"'Arper...'arper..don't ya dare." He threatened, watching me back up to get more of a running start. He growled, slowly stepping closer.
"...aye..'arper..HARPER ADEL DAYLE! DON'T CHA-" Was the last thing I heard before I took my sprint, held onto the hat for dear life, and jumped off the cliff.
I laughed, feeling the wind whipping around me as my clothes rippled in the wind. I laughed, holding the hat against my chest, as I felt a shadow behind me. I turned in the air, to see a serious looking Goggle come flying down at me. I laughed at the serious look on his face. I grabbed his hand, causing him to laugh as we spread out, slowly flying down to the ocean. I huddled close to him, as he wrapped his arms around me. We plunged into the ocean, making a large sploosh.
Before we went under, I spied a tiny cave that we'd just have to swim into. The water was refreshingly cold, especially after taking that trip up the hill in the heat. We came up, spittering and sputtering out salt water, our clothes sopping wet as we bobbed in the waves.
"You'e crazy!" He laughed, shaking his head like a dog, his hair sending drops everywhere. I wiggled away from the hug, dog paddling over towards the cave.
"Where 'ya goin' now?" He asked, nipping at my wiggling heels as I paddled my way into the cave. The cave was about the size of a small bedroom, and was surprisingly cool and refreshing inside. The rocks had been smoothed down by the water. Some rocks were being wetted by the soft, lapping waves, but there were some large, floor like rocks that were smooth and warm. I plopped down on the warm rocks, giggling as I sighed in exhaustion.
Goggle waddled in after me, just as sopping wet as I was. He laughed at me, watching me wring out my hair. I stuck my tongue out at him, swiping away salt water residue that was left on my lips, leaving a somewhat bitter taste in my mouth. He slunk forwards, sitting down next to me with a smile on his face. I placed his hat on top of a near by rock.
Suddenly, there was a palm sliding under my shirt, and began to go up my stomach. I yelped, backing up and looking at an amused Goggle. '
"Gog! We're in public..you man whore.." I huffed, wringing out the bottom of my shirt. He watched me, entranced at my chest and I sighed, remembering that you should never wear a white shirt with a black bra, especially if you're going swimming. I sighed, watching Goggle drool on me, and patted his head. I stood up heading back towards the opening of the cave.
"Let's at least wait till we get back to the house.." I said, trying to get out of the cave. Then Goggle was behind me, ripping my shirt over my head and spinning me around and pressing a pair of slim lips to mine.
"S'no one out there..jus' us.." He whispered, and I couldn't help but stick my hands up his shirt, his skin still slick with water. I moaned, sticking my tongue in his mouth, pressing my body against his, as he sent us tumbling down to the ground. I groaned as I tugged on his shirt, breaking the kiss to throw it over his head. I bit down on his neck, briefly noticing the large scar on his shoulder, where his arm had been detached from the dog attack, and sewn back on.
I heard my bra snap and fall off my body as the warm rocks heated my back, and the air got hotter. I gasped, feeling Goggle bite at my chest, right where my heart should be, one hand cupping a breast, the other running down my side. I smiled, breathing out heavily and ran my fingers around the waist band of his shorts, making him growl and shove me further into the hard floor. I gasped, feeling my shorts and underwear being ripped off at once, and a warm tongue running up my rib cage.
"Y'er still sweet.." He smirked, licking the left over salt water from my skin. I groaned at his dorky line, but that quickly changed into a gasp as I felt his warm tongue lapping at my hip bones, pressing kisses, licks and nips lower and lower. He licked the bundle of nerves in the apex of my legs and I screamed, flicking up my hips and practically bucking him in the face. He groaned, licking at me again as I scratched my nails against the smooth rocks.
"Goggle..if you don't stop..teasing..I'm going to drowned you.." I moaned out, his hands holding my hips from flinching up. He sat up, running his tongue over his thinned lower lip, a deviant smirk in his eyes.
"Oh..so threatnin'.." He joked, coming closer and pressing his lips to mine. I groaned, feeling him line up with me and slowly slide into me. I took in a breath, wrapping my arms around his neck and wrapping my legs around his waist as he fully slid inside me. I groaned again, as he pushed his face into my neck. I bit into his shoulder, trying to hide my moans as he slowly began to pump in and out of me. I cried, the back of my head hitting the rock, making me see even more stars than I already was, and I sank my nails into his shoulders. He growled down at me, pressing his lips to mine as he started going faster, his breath coming out heavy as he hit me hard.
"Goggle.." I whispered-moaned to him, running a hand through his straight blond hairs. He kept going, with my encouragement of course, until my stomach started to tighten, and Goggle began going deeper and faster.
"D-don't stop..please.." I cried out, my stomach tightening as he nodded and groaned into my shoulder. He brought his head up, only to kiss me ferociously as we both climaxed and twitched, electricity roaring through us. I cried, and he roared, as we were both muffled by our lips. He huffed, pulling out and smiling down at me, pressing kisses all over my face as we wrapped our arms around each other and he began to roll us all over the warm floor.
I giggled hysterically, catching his lips in another kiss. He sighed happily as I watched his blue-yellow ringed orbs stare me down.
"I love you.." I whispered, my throat raw from screaming. He frowned, catching me off guard. He still held me, but instead of being his usually funny self, he was deathly serious. I swallowed thickly, nuzzling up closer in the embrace.
"We need 'ta talk.." He said, looking down at me. I bit the side of my lip, nodding my head.
"Tha' weddin'."
"If you don't wanna..I-I don't blame you.." I spat out, clutching his arms around me, choosing to stare into his neck, instead of his eyes. All I could think of was what if he didn't want to get married anymore. What if he didn't love me anymore. I knew I shouldn't be so...insecure., but I couldn't help it.
"Huh?" He hummed out, seemingly confused.
"I-I mean..I've had boys dump me before..I-I-I know 'm odd..but..still..Goggle..I love you..and whatever I did..I'm sorry, it's just that-" I started rambling, but was cut off with a short, but obviously passionate kiss.
"Stop tha'..s'not that..there' gonna be a weddin'..jus'..after 'm worried 'bout.." He said, his eyes turning to look at an opposite wall of the cave. I tilted my head.
"You mean the honeymoon? Goggle-we JUST had sex..and I don't think you have that much of a problem with it.." I smirked, watching his cheeks flush.
"No..ya little pyshco..after tha'.." He began whispering again. I racked my brain for what happens after.
"You go on a drunken rampage and beat me?" I asked, tilting my head again.
He shook his head, looking at me like I was crazy.
"IIIIIIIIIIIII...call my mother to actually tell her we got married..?" I said, announcing that I really had no intrest in my mama being at this wedding.
"No..like tha' rhyme..ya' know..first comes love..then come's marriage.."
"..Then comes the baby carriage?"
"Yesh.."
"And that's what you're afraid of?" I asked. He nodded.
"Really Goggle? Your afraid of me, the amish people, puppies and now baby strollers? What's next? Snowmen?" I asked, rubbing my palm against his cheek. He chuckled, running his fingers through my hair.
"Be serious.." He said, licking my cheek. I squeaked, rubbing my cheek before licking him back.
"Babies Gog..you're afraid of babies?" I asked, laying my head on his chest.
"Nah..jus' my babies.."
"Do you want babies?" I asked, looking up into his eyes.
"Ye-N-I don't know.." He said honestly. I smiled, pressing a kiss to his chest. "Do you?"
"With you-very much so. Give me the god-forsaken reasons why you do and don't."
"Why I do? 'Cause you my wife..'n I wanna make something together..-"
"Like a lego house-?"
"Somethin' more complex than 'yer lego houses bab'girl. I jus'..you..'n me..I jus' wan' somethin' we MADE that will be a livin' thin'. 'Cause I love ya'."
I smiled, feeling my eyes tear up.
"That's how I feel, love..no why not?" I asked, seeing his face darken.
"'Cause it's me..I'mma monster..tha' babies..'ll be part of me.." He brought up a hand to his face. "Sometimes I wonder how ya stand lookin' at me.."
"Because I love you. Look at me!"
"They'll be monsters 'cause of me.."
"Goggle-shaddup!" He snapped his trap. I smiled, running my fingers along his face.
"Honestly..we can't possibly know what my pregnancy will be like..or the birth..or the baby..But we'll never know if we don't try..and I wanna try.." I said.
He smiled, standing up and began gathering up my clothes, only to take them and throw his blue shirt at me. He tugged on his pants as I pulled over the shirt, which came down to my knees. Goggle swam out of the cave shirtless, with me on his back, not wearing any pants. We got on the beach, and he tugged on his face mask, and we walked hand in hand back to the house. When we got home, the place was swarmed with police officers. Goggle and I stayed far out of sight, but as we snuck around the cops and medics, we took sight of a small red dot in the back marsh. It was Ruby! and she was waving us to go and hide in the wilderness with her. She disappeared into the marsh once more, as Goggle chucked me back onto his back and he raced us into the marsh.
Oh god, what happened when we left?
