Sia gaped her mouth. She forgot about the damn hickey and it has spoiled her plans of concealing what transpired between her and Lucas from Estrella.
Estrella has already seen through her and Sia’s hesitation tells her there’s more than it meets the eyes.
She budged Sia, still gripped by surprise by what she’s seeing. Sia gasped when Estrella whipped her around, searching her body for more evidence. She saw another hickey behind her ears and fingers scratch on her nape.
“Jesus fucking christ!” She blurted, amazed by the indentation on Sia’s body.
Sia clenched her eyes shut, ashamed at how Estrella scanned her body like a frisk machine. She scratched her head, raking her eyes everywhere but Estrella.
“Did you?” Estrella asked, her voice high pitched that it caught Lucas’s attention as he neared the kitchen.
When he heard the ladies chattering he paused and eavesdropped.
“Did what!?” Sia asked accusingly, downing the rest of her milk. She tried to duck from Estrella’s hold but she tightened it instead.
“You had sex last night!?” She exclaimed, her eyes drenched with joy for Sia.
“Y…yes. It’s no big deal. At all. Seriously.” Sia said defiantly. She wriggled away from Estrella and drew to the sink to rinse the glass.
Estrella crossed her hands over her chest, smiling.
“No big deal!? Omigod, Sia. It’s a big deal for someone that has never had sex for ages. It is.” She yelped, moving closer to Sia.
“No. I still get satisfaction in many ways. It’s not like I’ve never had a release all the while.” She rambled on.
Lucas stayed quiet, listening to their conversation. However, he was surprised by Estrella’s admittance that Sia haven’t had sex for a while now.
“This hickey is a proof it was a mad night. He scratched you and you scratched him too. Did you give him a hickey too?” She smattered dreamily. Sia shook her head ‘no’ not uttering a word.
The fact that she allowed Lucas to screw her without protection already claws her skin. She was too consumed by lust to even think of protection.
How could she have allowed him to fuck her raw? How many women has he been with? She wondered.
Anger rises in her chest at the thought.
“I know you did, Sia. Tell me how many rounds did you go? Three? Six?” Estrella rattled on, clapping her hands frantically.
“Four. Just two.” She mused and Estrella’s eyes dilated.
“Jesus, four…fucking…rounds!? Omigod.” She screamed.
“Hey, keep your voice down.” Sia clasped her hand on Estrella’s mouth to silence her. Estrella hummed playfully, trying to rid Sia’s hand off her mouth. When she succeeded in removing it she snapped.
“Who’s the lucky guy?” Her eyes gleamed with joy. “Who please…pretty please?” she added when Sia hesitated. She’d love to lie but Estrella is her bosom friend so she can’t lie to her.
“Him.” She gushed, dropping her head between her shoulders.
“Who is ‘him’?” Estrella probed further.
“Lucas.” Sia snapped, defeated. Estrella dilated her eyes in shock, words failed her for a while.
She snapped her head back, trying to understand the scene.
“You and Lucas. Omigod. I wasn’t expecting this. No…I wasn’t expecting it to be him. Of all people!” She roared, throwing her hands up.
“I was so lust beyond control. I needed to feel whole. I wanted the touch he gave me. I was so lust I couldn’t think. Gosh!” Sia muttered. “He made me feel…so good. He gave me what I’ve always ached for. You told me to get screwed right? So here. I’ve been screwed.”
Estrella shoved her hands through her hair, swallowing thickly.
“Yes, it was my idea for you to have sex. It was. But I didn’t expect it to be him. He hurt you before so I’m worried for you.” She hummed, caressing Sia’s cheeks.
“No. It was a one-night stand. Nothing else. I can’t catch feelings again. You know.” She shrugged. Estrella hugged her.
“I’m happy you enjoyed it at least…” Estrella said but Sia cut her off.
“It was raw. He fucked me raw.”
At the confession, Estrella pulled away and raked Sia’s body. “Is that why you look so fresh? His seed is inside you…mother fucker!” she teased. A grin splayed across her cheeks.
“Stop it. I’m worried I might contact an STD.” Sia’s heart tightened with worry.
“That’s the sad part. You should head to the hospital and have yourself checked. Are you on pills?”
“No. I’m not.” Sia replied, hanging her head low. The scenes of their kiss, tongue fucking, and sex replayed in her head.
“Okay, you need to take pills. I have one. We wouldn’t want to add another story to the one we already have.” She drew some space between them. “I’m going to get the pills.”
Hearing Estrella’ footfall, Lucas moved away. He heard everything they said and is sad that Sia wants to take pills.
He’d love her to get pregnant maybe that might draw them back together. But that plan will wither once she takes the pills.
Lucas deliberately came inside her so she’d get pregnant but now it won’t work.
It was nothing but a one-night stand to Sia.
Sia sat on the kitchen Island, patting Fur’s back while waiting on her friend to return with the pills. She can’t shake off the fact that her ex-lover filled her up. She really commends Lucas’s skill in bed. His damn maturity bloats her heart with worry about how many women he had had all these years.
Well, Lucas is every woman’s crush and you can’t tell her that he hasn’t laid someone. Dozens even.
She shook her head and dug her nails into Fur’s body when her inner mind reminded her that her thoughts of Lucas being with someone else is jealousy.
Fur yelped and her sudden outcry dragged Sia from her reverie.
“So sorry, Fur.” She crooned and draped Fur on her chest, pecking her.
Estrella returned with the pills and handed it to Sia. She moved to the pantry moving some ingredients out and atop the Island.
“We need to cook. The men need to have something after a hectic night.” She murmured when she dropped the gallon of Olive oil on the Island.
“Oh, yeah. Hectic night indeed.” Sia gushed. “Is there something I can nip on before taking the pills?” She asked, getting off the seat.
Estrella stilled thoughtfully. “Yes. There’s pizza in the fridge. You’ve got to nuke it and help yourself.” She replied, gathering the utensils.
Sia quickly nuked the pizza, munched some, and took the pills.
She ventured into helping Estrella prepare their breakfast.
“You’ve lesbian friends?” Sia said conspiratorially, wagging her brows at Estrella. She still remembers those four sets of ladies that made out beside the pool.
Estrella broke into laughter at Sia’s hushed tone.
“It’s no novelty. Mercy has been a lesbian all the while I knew her. It happens she brought her friends along.” Estrella replied.
Sia huffed. She leaned her bum against the Island, side-glancing at her friend. “I’ve never seen lesbian sex before but damn, last night was a Wow to me.” She admitted, stirring the eggs in her hands.
“Mercy loved women from high school. She was into me but I wasn’t into women. Except that we once shared a kiss.” Estrella divulged, giggling.
“Damn! You’ve kissed her before?”
Estrella gave her a nod and shrugged. “Oh, and she has a brother who runs Perez Ltd. He’s quite the looker and very prissy.”
When Sia heard the mention of Perez Ltd she remembered about the document. It was one of the unfinished businesses Mr. Monson had.
“You know, my husband has an unfinished business with that company. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’m so going to look into it.” Sia spouted.
“You should. Maybe you get to meet her brother. He’s a panty-dropping dude.” Estrella uttered, wagging her brows at Sia.
“Definitely,” Sia stated.
She inched to the stove to light it up and fry the eggs. As Sia flipped on the lighter unbeknownst of the gas that was littered atop the stove which she should have wiped before putting the lighter on, the stove caught fire.
“Jesus!” Sia screamed as the fire rose forcefully.
She began hyperventilating, her vision got clouded by the fire.
“Sia… Jesus.” Estrella crossed the distance between them fast and held Sia tight.
The fire slowly started to spread and Estrella shouted Ethan’s name for help.
