“Right, but once you do the shoot, she can put it up on the website and then everyone can see it, right?”
She sighed hard, sliding away from him a bit so that she could turn and look at him directly. “No…” she said, no longer hiding her irritation. “As I said, we’re getting our feet wet. We’re taking some initial photos and she’s going to see how we look on camera. She said that if we don’t like what we see, she won’t put them up on the website and we can go our separate ways.”
He rolled his eyes. “And you believed her?” he asked.
“Dude,” Bryce said. “What the hell is the matter with you?”
“I’m not trying to be an ass, but I’m just trying to figure out why my girlfriend is going behind my back and agreeing to do nude photography on the internet for an obviously shady company.”
Alex couldn’t believe how quickly things had soured. She was shocked but hadn’t been rendered speechless.
“First… we discussed our situation privately,” she said, looking at him sternly. “Second, you don’t get to control what I do.”
“Bullshit,” he said, scowling at her. “I’m not saying I’m controlling you. I’m saying that you’re making a mistake by putting nude photos on the internet.”
She sighed. “Beck, I’m trying to be nice about this.”
“Alex,” he said mockingly, “you’re pretty fucking dumb if you think people won’t take advantage of that type of situation.”
Her mouth dropped open in shock and she resisted the urge to punch him in the face.
“Bro… what the fuck?” Marvin asked.
“Dude, we know you got a thing against porn, but she’s saying that’s not…” Vince said.
“Shut the fuck up, Vince,” Beck said angrily. “I’m not trying to be the bad guy here. I’m just trying to protect you.”
Angry now, she stood and started to gather her things.
“Way to go dickhead,” Travis said.
“Look… don’t leave pissed,” Beck said. “I’m just trying to make you see that this is a mistake!”
She turned. “So… you’re okay with me giving you a lap dance, sucking your dick, and fucking you in front of your friends, but a little nude photography is crossing the line?”
“These are my friends!” he yelled. “I trust them not to mess with you.”
She laughed mockingly.
“Alex, you’re very naive about guys,” he said. “I can tolerate you working at Double D’s because there’s security there. I can tolerate you getting naked and even a little flirty here, because you’re with me and guys I trust. What I can’t tolerate…”
“Beck,” she cut in, “you don’t seem to understand, you have no say in what I do. You aren’t my boyfriend. I agreed to a friend with benefits thing with you.”
“Yeah, and then two seconds later you said that I could call you my girlfriend.”
“What?” she said.
He looked at her pointedly but didn’t say anything.
“Yeah… I said that you could refer to me as your girlfriend so that you didn’t lose face in front of your friends, but apparently, you can’t fucking handle that!”
He sighed hard, shaking his head. “I’m just trying to protect you!” he yelled.
“You aren’t my father, or one of my brothers,” she snapped.
“I’m sorry you can’t see this… but you can’t go through with it,” he said, ridiculously crossing his arms.
She raised an eyebrow and stared hard at him. “That’s it, I’m done,” she said, shaking her head and turning. Grabbing her keys and purse, she slipped her shoes on.
“You are such a fuckin’ idiot,” Bryce said.
She walked out of the apartment without another word. Hopping into her car, she texted Toni to see where she was. “Home,” came the response.
“Stay there, I need you,” Alex sent, and tossed her phone to the seat before starting the car and pulling out.
Arriving home a few minutes later, she went up to her room and shut and locked the door, then went through her closet to Toni’s room and shut and locked her sister’s door before turning and seeing that Toni was laying on her bed watching her.
“What’s up?” Toni asked, looking at her as Alex sighed deeply and sat down.
“God… where do I begin?” she asked.
Taking a deep breath, she filled her in on everything she’d missed or hadn’t told her.
“Ugh, that fuckin’ lame-ass. I can’t believe he freaked out like that.”
Alex sighed deeply and nodded. “I know. I just… I felt so pissed.”
“Alessandra,” Toni said, “you didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Of course, I didn’t!” Alex said, perking up instantly.
She started to leave, then stopped and turned, staring at her twin in confusion for a second, then smirking and rolling her eyes.
Toni giggled.
“Stop it,” Alex said, frowning and sitting back down.
“Oh, come on, that was funny,” Toni said.
“Using your mind control shit on me isn’t funny,” Alex said, smirking at her, nonetheless.
“Just the nerve… telling me what I can do and can’t do,” Alex said. “Are guys really like that?”
Toni giggled. “You’re so naive baby,” she replied. “Yes, guys are like that sometimes. You’ve got to find one that isn’t.”
“I had such high hopes for Beck,” she said. “He was a nice guy when I met him, helped me out with my drunk-ass siblings, and now it’s like… he’s just been wasting my time.”
“So… you only lost a little time,” Toni said. “Move on and start something up with Bryce, or someone else.”
Alex nodded, but wasn’t sure what she was going to do, or even what she wanted.
Toni looked at her quietly for a moment, waiting. “So… is he going to be part of our little party?” she asked.
Alex looked up, trying to judge the mood and temperament of her twin’s question.
“You know you’re the one I’m really with…” she said.
Toni rolled her eyes. “I’m not jealous, dingus. I just barely know the guy. If he’s going to be contributing cock to our cause, I want to make sure he’s legit!”
Alex laughed, covering her mouth for a moment and shaking her head, her twin grinning widely as she watched.
“Seriously though,” Toni said, her expression changing. “I’m just wanting to know what he’s working with and if his cum is made out of chocolate, okay?” she asked, drawing more laughter.
Alex rolled over after a few seconds as her laughter died away, and she sighed as Toni slid down next to her. The two slid close and stared into each other’s eyes for a few long minutes.
“I love you,” Toni said, her tone serious again.
Alex could tell that she meant it.
“I love you too,” she said.
Toni kissed her, then sat up and went to get her phone. “So, is sometime this week okay for the preliminary photoshoot?”
Alex was touched. “Aww, you waited.”
Toni looked at her, confused.
“I know how much you want to do this, and you obviously knew about it before I got here, but you knew I was upset and you waited for me to go first.”
Toni shrugged, blushing a bit. “Well… I am in love with you, stupid.”
Alex giggled.
“So…” Toni prompted. “Can we?”
“I love you too, stupid,” Alex said, “and of course we can. Just make sure we’re both free from work.”
Toni grinned widely and immediately started dialing. Alex listened for a bit while she talked with Camille, and heard Camille ask if Wednesday would work. Alex quickly checked her schedule, then nodded.
“Okay,” Toni said. “We’ll do it.”
There were some more instructions that Camille had, and Toni listened and even wrote them down, which Alex was surprised to see.
“Got it,” Toni said. “Okay, we’ll see you Wednesday!”
She hung up, then looked over at Alex and squealed with excitement.
“Name what you want,” Toni said. “I’ll do it for you.”
Alex looked at her curiously. “Huh?”
“For doing this for me. What do you want me to do for you?”
Alex smirked. “I’m sure I’ll think of something,” she said.
Toni smirked back at her. “Well, if you were a dude, I’d just give you anal, or a blowjob.”
Alex laughed, shaking her head. “Anal isn’t going to do much for me.”
Toni giggled. “Well, consider this a one-time pass for you to tell me what to do.”
“I really like the sound of that,” Alex replied.
The two slid down into the bed and snuggled up together, a few minutes of comfortable silence passing between the two as they played with each other’s hair.
“So… Kenny really gave you the best orgasm you’ve ever had?” Toni asked, looking slyly over at her.
Alex grinned as she began to tell her sister about the rest of her morning.
