Short Story #5: Scarlet and Lloyd in High School Part 2
Scarlet felt Lloyd brushing his hair with her fingers as she "slept". This was probably the second or third time she knew of him doing this and by the way he talked there were many more. She was careful not to move or show any signs that she was awake. Again, he lifted her head and kissed her but on her bruise. 'How long has he been doing this?' she thought, careful not to let her lips move.
They were small kisses, innocent enough but it was strange. Lloyd never showed any feelings for her when she was awake. 'That's enough now...' she thought. Her body was getting restless from lying down like she was asleep. She began squirming as if she was about to wake up and like expected Lloyd froze and got up. She waited until she heard him putting on his shoes and then opened up her eyes.
Scarlet yawned as if she had just woken up. "Hey..." she mumbled.
"Oh, hey," he said, barely looking at her. "I gotta' go home so..."
She waved goodbye and watched him leave her bedroom.
...
"Marce, c-come on stop playing." Tony blushed as Marceline sat on top of him.
"Why?" she laughed.
"P-put your shirt back on before Lloyd comes home..."
"Relax, I have a singlet on," she pointed to her white under shirt. "you act like I'm naked. And Lloyd won't come home until-"
Lloyd suddenly opened the bedroom door and stopped when he saw his twin straddling the boy beneath her. "If you two are gonna' fuck I can leave for an hour."
Marceline shrugged. "Good, see you soon."
Tony blinked. "MARCE!" he moved the girl off of him gently and sat up. "Lloyd, dude, stay."
Lloyd stared at the boy attempting to fix his pants. "The fuck were you two doin'?"
"Nothing, we were just playing." Tony said, giving his girlfriend the angry eye, she got up and left to get some water.
"Well, watch how you two 'play' she's still my sister and no offense but I haven't been seeing any condoms in her bag..." he lowered his voice. "Meaning you aren't using rub-"
"Slow down, chill out, PAUSE!" Tony cut him off. "We aren't doing...'that'..."
Lloyd raised an eyebrow. "You've been dating for three months."
"And you've been Scarlet's friend since second grade!" Tony snapped.
Lloyd stood up and grabbed Tony by his neck. "Say that again, Maxx," the boy choked under his grip. "You know I love Scarlet and I wouldn't rush anything until she was ready."
"D-dude I can't breathe," Tony gasped and coughed.
Lloyd loosened his grip and dropped the boy who got his shoes. "Tell Marce I had to leave," he mumbled and left.
Marceline, who was in the shadow next to the door was listening.
...
The next day, Marceline found Scarlet in the girls' locker room after gym class. "Scarlet..." she called.
"Hey," she waved, pulling on her jeans. "What's up?"
Marceline hesitated slightly. "My brother."
"Huh...?"
A/N: I'm done, get outta' here _
