Hey, sorry I didn't update yesterday, tired…you know how it is….

ENJOY

Please note that the first part of this chapter until the line break is all rated M, terribly sorry for those who don't like that, just skip this part!

Jerome sighed. He was bored, no, he was beyond bored. It was Alfie's turn to be watching Mara, and they were really the only two people he ever hung out with. Sure, he was getting closer to Sibuna, and he understood them a bit more now, but he didn't like them all very much at all.

Then there was Eddie, sure, Jerome liked Eddie a lot. Eddie was…cool, for loss of other words. He was good for a laugh. Not as good as Alfie, but still pretty good. But Eddie was being forced to spend time with Mr Sweet, and Jerome didn't dig the whole 'spending time with teachers' thing.

He sighed again, walking into the shower. He stood under the hot water for a moment. Just relaxing, there wasn't much for him to worry about nowadays, and when Mara was better, there would be nothing for him to worry about.

He was humming to himself, so he didn't hear the bathroom door open and someone slide inside. He was facing upwards towards the water, so he didn't see the curtain being pushed to the side gently.

So when he looked down to reach for the shampoo he almost jumped out of his skin, to see Mara on her knees, wearing a bra and some pants, that were getting soaked due to the water.

Jerome starred down at her wide eyed, noticing that the mark on her arm was still glowing red.

"Mara?" he asked, horrified "How did you get loose? Wasn't Alfie meant to be…" Jerome stopped talking when he felt Mara's small yet firm hands wrap around his member. He took a deep breath and struggled to keep composure. "Mara, how did you get lo-," Jerome shivered, when he felt her warm mouth take him. She swirled her tongue around him once.

Jerome shuddered and placed both his hands on the wall, trying not to feel how his legs turned to jelly. Mara sucked hard and Jerome let out a throaty moan through gritted teeth

"Fuck." He managed in a shaky voice. Mara removed her mouth and looked up at him

"Tsk, tsk Jerome," she cooed "You shouldn't swear," her words vibrated over him and he was thankful he was still standing.

"Mara," he managed to chock out, he was barely aware of the hot water pounding onto him "How did you get loose?" he didn't get an answer at first, only for Mara to hum against him and for him to cut off his moan.

"You know Alfie, Jerome," she whispered, stroking him while she talked. Jerome vaguely wondered where she got so good at this… "He is very easily swayed, especially when I remind him of when we use to be friends,"

"Jerome!" Fabian knocked harshly on the door "We lost Mara! Hurry up, we have to find her!"

Mara smiled slyly up at him, and stood up on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek "I like having you as my boyfriend," she whispered. Jerome stood frozen, his arms still on either side of her, leaning against the wall "You make life so much fun, I can't even remember sneaking around before you," and with that she ducked out.

Jerome stayed motionless, shocked, before turning the shower water cold.

Line Break

"Found her!" Patricia called, the others followed her voice and found her struggling just outside the school with Mara in her arms. Mara was dressed in her school uniform, her hair brushed and tidy just like always.

"Let me go!" Mara kicked back but Patricia just rolled her eyes

"I'm glad Mara got the spirit in her, she's the easiest to fight off," Patricia mumbled

"Guys, I am so sorry I let her go, but she looked like a bunny," Alfie apologised. Nina and Jerome turned to him

"A bunny?" they asked in unison

"Yeah, you know," Alfie said, his normal smile creeping along his face "All adorable and innocent,"

Jerome rolled his eyes.

"Let me go! She's gone, I just wanted to go to school!" Mara yelled again. They all turned to her "My arms not red!" she thrust her arm forward and Amber caught it,

"It's not red," Amber stated what everyone could already see.

"So what were you doing?" Fabian asked

"Going to school." Mara stated, as if it were obvious. The others let out nervous laughter

"Why didn't you tell us?" Nina smiled

"I was eager," Mara confessed.

"Well, at least now it's all over," Patricia relished the feeling "I'm gonna go find Eddie," and with that she turned and walked away

"Come on Alfie," Amber gushed "Let's go, you promised you'd help me pick the shoes for Saturday," Alfie grimaced, but followed the blonde beauty away.

Nina and Fabian smiled at each other, before turning and walking away without a word. Mara turned to Jerome.

"All better Jaffrey?" he asked jokingly, Mara blushed.

"Jerome, what happened in the shower, I wasn't in the right state of mind, normally I-"

"Mara," Jerome cut her off "This is the second time you've done something like this to me, it's my turn now," he entwined his fingers with hers, something he would never take for granted and walked back towards the school

"Jerome," Mara asked "What do you mean? Please no pranks," Jerome stopped and smiled down at her, before leaning down and whispered into her ear with warm breath

"Every surprise you gave me, was…highly pleasurable," he noticed her blush at the way he said it "So you can guarantee yours will be too," he kissed her gently on the lips. Mara smiled, slightly dazed. "What?" Jerome asked, smirking slightly "Am I a good kisser?"

Mara whacked his arm and he laughed loudly. His real laugh, not the snide laugh he gave other people. But his real genuine, actually happy laugh, the one that only she got to hear.

Life was good, and Mara smiled, despite the anxious feeling in her stomach.
