This is so wrong, so, so wrong, her mind continuously screamed at her… but her body betrayed her conscience.

Her wrists were currently above her head held firmly in Tommy's bigger hand, as he pinned her against her bed while roughly attacking her neck… this is definitely going to leave a mark, and Lil would likely be wearing turtlenecks or scarves for the next few days. She moaned in pleasure, as his bare chest rubbed against hers. She was merely in her jeans and bra at this point, and the feeling of his strong body covering hers made her eyes cloud in desire.

It was past midnight, about half an hour after her and Kimi had decided to head to bed, she had gotten a text from Tommy asking if the coast was clear. At first she decided to ignore his text, but as she lay in bed… she decided against her better judgement to text back. And now, here they were… tangled in bed, just across Kimi's bedroom.

He groaned in desire as his mouth lowered to her cleavage, and Lil's arms struggled to be free to wrap her arms around him, but he didn't allow it and kept her wrists pinned above her and smirked.

This had been now going on for the last week; they would send each other a text and meet at various private places to hook up. This included the back of his car, empty janitor's closet at school… but by far the hardest was their apartments. He lived with Phil and she lived with Kimi… the last two people that could catch wind of this affair. And so, in public Lil would go back to ignoring him and pretending like he didn't exist.

It had gotten ridiculous how much their physical pull controlled them. A day hadn't gone by since last week in the elevator that they didn't find ways to be alone like this. No matter how stupid or risky it had become. Lil knew there was no rational explanation as to why she was hooking up with her best friends ex-boyfriend like this, there was no justification. But she had suppressed the guilt so far down, because she knew that if she let it climb up… she wouldn't be able to continue this. And as wrong as it was, she had become powerless to it. His body against hers felt so right. It felt like a different world, where their relationships and problems didn't exist. It was simply physical needs and satisfaction. It was an escape.

He finally released her wrists as he slowly unbuttoned her jeans, before his desire filled eyes met hers and he smirked.

He knew she was powerless, and she moaned for him to continue.

His lips brushed against her ear, "You'll have to be really quiet babe," He whispered hoarsely, causing shivers to run down her spine, before capturing her lips passionately as he unbuckled his jeans.

The next morning, she sat across Kimi on their stools at the counter eating cereal. It was hard for Lil to meet Kimi's eyes, as Kimi chirped happily about something that happened in her early morning class. Lil only tuned in when she heard her mention Phil.

"Wait, what happened?"

"Well our college holds a winter formal every year, it's held by the student union as a breather after exams. It's always been amazing and we've gone every year. But you have to go with a date to the event and last year I had gone with Tommy..." she trailed off momentarily, and Lil felt a pang of guilt against her chest, "But since this year that clearly wouldn't be the case, and I didn't want to go with some random guy –but I also don't want to miss my final year's formal, Phil agreed to take me." She grinned.

Lil felt her eyebrow rise in amusement, "So you and Phil going to the formal together eh," She teased.

Kimi rolled her eyes at her, "Obviously not like a date date, more like he's accompanying me because he knows how much I love that sort of stuff."

Lil still grinned at her, "Well isn't that awfully sweet of him," Knowing that it wasn't just the generosity of his heart that had Phil offer to take Kimi to the formal.

Kimi laughed, "He is, isn't he." As she got up taking both of their empty bowls to the sink, "So, we'll need to get you to go with someone too, because there is no way I'd let you miss the formal since this is your first and final year here!"

Lil laughed hesitantly, "No Kim, I don't want to go with some random guy."

"It doesn't have to be random, I know for a fact that a friend of Phil's would love to take you." She said slyly.

Lil turned to look at her, "What friend?"

"Eddy, from their football team, I know you've met him a few times at other events and at Phil's place, and he's pretty cute."

Lil got up from her spot and grabbed her purse, "I'm not really all that into formals anyways, so I'd rather just have a quiet night in." And have the apartment all to myself for a few hours.

Kimi shook her head, "Phil and I knew you would say that, so we took the liberty to already tell Eddy that you'll go with him." She grinned proudly.

"What? Kimi!" Lil exclaimed.

"This is the last time you me and Phil will be in school together, last year of college, and since we're lucky to all be here together, there is no way we'll go without you! C'mon Lil, give it a chance, the formal is honestly amazing! So much fun! And this is probably the last school formal we'll ever go to together!"

Lil sighed, "What if he's like Sean, how can I trust a random guy I don't even know him that well."

"Obviously he wouldn't be a slime ball since he knows you're Phil's sister, and he's actually good friends with Phil and knows he'll kill him if he tries to be slimy. And all four of us will be together the whole time anyways; it's really just like a ticket in the door!"

"Alright, fine." Lil agreed unenthusiastically.

Kimi squealed in excitement, "Awesome, I'm texting Phil to let Eddy know!" she said, pulling out her phone.

"I thought you said you guys already told him?" Lil questioned with narrowed eyes.

Kimi winked, "We wouldn't trap you like that."

"Feels like I got trapped now," Lil muttered dryly, heading for class.

About half an hour into her lecture, she noticed her phone light up. She felt a half blush remembering the events of the night before, before opening his text.

Lake – 15 mins?

Lil frowned; she looked back at the lecture that was still progressing slowly. Lil shook her head, before texting back;

I'm in class!

Tommy read her reply frowning, crap.

He grabbed his bag from the locker in the gym, running a hand threw his wet hair. He had just showered after one of their football practices, and was hoping to meet Lil before heading back to the apartment.

Phil slapped him on the back as he came to stand next to his locker, with his bag slung over his back, "Let's grab some food on the way back, coach killed us out there today."

Tommy nodded as they headed to the food court of the college; it was really weird that Lil was Phil's sister. Even though they were twins, he never really related it back to the fact that he was having a secret affair with his best friend's sister. Tommy wondered how Phil would react if he knew that Tommy was hooking up with his sister. Tommy remembered how weird Phil's reaction had been when he had found out that he was seeing Kimi. And she was just Phil's friend.

Phil looked over at Tommy as they took their food, "Oh Tommy, I just wanted to let you know… I'm taking Kimi to that winter formal thing; I just wanted to confirm that wouldn't be weird for you? We're going as friends obviously, but still I didn't want it to seem like id be hiding that from you,"

Tommy was a little surprised, "Yeah Phil, you don't need to ask me,"

Phil shrugged, "She was your ex-girlfriend," He reminded.

"Yeah, but she's been your friend much longer." Now Tommy felt kind of bad about not telling him about Lil. But what could he even tell him? I'm hooking up with your sister –no strings attached.

"But yo, are you coming to the formal?"

"I'm not really seeing anyone, and isn't that kind of a date type thing?"

"Dude, are you joking. I know you wouldn't have any trouble getting a date." Phil snorted.

Tommy smirked, yeah, but you wouldn't really approve of the date I would bring.

"We'll see."

That's when another one of their team members joined them at the table and bumped fists with the two of them, "Brutal practice today eh?"

Tommy laughed, "Yeah, cause we're getting closer to the game,"

Phil stretched out, "So he should let us rest, not drain the life out of us,"

Eddy chuckled, "Yeah, I honestly don't know how I was able to walk off the field after practice."

Tommy tuned them out again, if Phil and Kimi both went to that formal, that would mean that his and Lil's apartments will be empty that night… that'll be awesome. He thought with a grin, he was about to reach for his phone to text Lil about his new discovery when he heard Eddy turn to Phil.

"Hey bud, link me Lil's digits so I can just message her directly,"

Tommy's eyes narrowed, "Why do you want Lil's number?"

"It'll just make it easier to coordinate for the formal and what colour she wants to wear," He shrugged, pulling out his phone.

Tommy almost chocked on his drink, "Wait, what?"

Phil looked at him oddly, "Yeah, he's taking Lil to the formal,"

Tommy quickly regained his composure, "Oh, is he? I didn't realize they would… be going together," He finished.

Eddy frowned at him, "Why, what's wrong with that?"

Tommy shook his head, "Nothing, nothing at all." He said between his gritted teeth and forced a smile.

They seemed to buy it and Phil gave Eddy her number as Tommy clenched his can of soda unnoticed, and pulled out his phone;

At the lake - 15 minutes, I'm waiting.

20 minutes later Lil made her way around the sheet of trees and bushes that covered their private lake clearing to find Tommy standing there looking out at the water with his back toward her. It was the perfect place for them to get alone time near campus, and they had found it a few days ago.

She grinned and tiptoed closer before giving him a nudge to playfully frighten him. But when he turned toward her, he didn't laugh like she expected him too.

"What's wrong?"She asked, as she wrapped her arms around his waist, "Are you mad I didn't leave class when you first texted me? Cause buddy, I was in the middle of my lecture. Even now, I left like 10 minutes before it finished,"

He didn't wrap his arms around her, and Lil frowned at his cold demeanour.

"Tommy? What's wrong with you?"

"Are you going to the formal with Eddy?" He demanded, with a raised brow.

Lil scrunched up her forehead momentarily, before remembering her conversation with Kimi, "Oh yeah, Kimi and Phil are going and she insisted that I couldn't miss it," Lil answered rolling her eyes, "Supposed to be quite a formal."

Tommy pulled away from her arms, "That doesn't answer why you're going with Eddy?"

Lil frowned in confusion, "Because… she said that I needed a date as a ticket in the door –which by the way I think is a dumb formal requirement, anyways, she told me Eddy would be down to take me and we would all just hang out together. Why?"

"What do you mean why? You're going to a formal with my boy, how's that not messed up?" Tommy questioned, visibly angry.

Lil raised a brow, "Tommy Pickles, are you jealous?"

"No, I think it's messed up." Tommy answered quickly.

"Oh my god, I can't believe this. You're actually jealous," She teased with a smirk.

"I have nothing to be jealous about. But the girl that I'm hooking up with is going to the formal with my friend, I think that is kind of weird, don't you think?"

Lil shook her head, "No, that's not weird at all. I'm going to the formal with Eddy as my ticket in the door, and secondly, we're hooking up secretly, hence it's not really weird to anyone. You and I both know there is no strings attached here, obviously we can't go to the formal together-…"

"Oh really, and why is that?"

Lil frowned, "I think it's obvious… how would we explain why we'd go to the formal together to Phil and Kimi. Plus, I highly doubt Kimi would want to spend the formal in your company anyways,"

"They're going together anyways,"

"That's beside the point, Tommy, you can't be mad at me about going to the formal with someone else. That is not included in this thing,"

"Oh really? Okay that's fine then. I just thought it was a respect thing."

Lil felt anger flare up inside her, "Tommy, you don't have rights over me and who I can go to a formal with, this isn't any form of disrespect, you're just mad that your ego is getting bruised by this! And you know what, I regret leaving class to deal with this," She said, before walking past him to storm off. But he grabbed her forearm to stop her.

"That's fine Lil," he pulled her closer and brought his lips beside her ear, "I'll see you at the formal,"

She rolled her eyes and pushed away from him and turned to leave, before his eyes narrowed; don't get mad… get even.

He pulled out his phone and texted Tara…

Formal?
