Cherreads

Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Spending Time Together

"Julius~"

"Damn, seductress."

Dressed in one of my tees and shorts, she came out of the bath completely dry except for her hair. She looked so damn sexy just coming out of the bath; her in my clothes was the cherry on top.

"At least I found someone more honest than you."

"Impossible to hide the damn thing when you look like that."

"Hehe~ Thank you!"

She sat between my legs, her back resting on my chest. My little brother squeezed in between us, a smirk still on her face.

"How bad do you want to do it?"

"I actually don't want to; I'm just very aroused."

"Pfft. Stop lying."

"I'm not. I would much rather us spend more time together and let the anticipation build. The best things come to those who wait, as they say."

"What if I wanted to go right now?"

"Then I'll just have to make the most of it. I can't let my girlfriend down."

"Idiot." I saw her ears flush; she turned so I couldn't see her face, and there was a peaceful silence between us as she scrolled through the channels on the TV. A bunch of news talking about various world and local issues. It wasn't until she found SpongeBob on that she stopped scrolling.

I loved it. SpongeBob was great to watch, no matter one's age. Besides, I was watching with my girlfriend.

Wrapping my arms around her, hands resting on top of her stomach, she snuggled as close as she could in her position. The smell of the citrus shampoo she used blessed my nose. Her warmth was the best part of it all.

Dududu~

Dududu~

"Is it my mom again?"

I reached over to the nightstand.

"Yeah. Want me to answer again?"

"Just put it on speaker."

I pressed answer, and she muted SpongeBob in the background.

"Hey, Mom."

"You still with Julius?"

"She is."

"Good. I'm going to send her money for dinner; I won't be able to make it home tonight."

"Don't worry about that. I have plenty of money," I said.

"Do you?"

"He does, Mom! He bought that house in front of us!"

"What? Are you serious?"

"Yes, ma'am. I thought you would let her stay over more if you could walk over to check on us."

"You brat, you better wear protection! Don't think I don't know what you're trying to pull!"

"O-Oh yeah. Protection. Guaranteed!"

Felicia and I snickered. If her mom could see how hard we were holding back our laughs, she would spank both of us.

"Hah~, fine. She can even move over there if she wants, since you're so close. But don't dare think I won't come check in. I want a spare key!"

"Oh, it's not a key. I need you to scan your retina, fingerprint, and I'll give you the PIN."

"What kind of security did you put in that house?" 

"The type to stop potential threats."

"Touché. Well, I've got to go now, so you two have fun—and so help me if I find out she's—"

Felicia hung up the phone.

"Want to impregnate me to mess with her?"

"Not for that reason."

"Figured." If she knew, I couldn't help but wonder why she even dared to ask. If I were going to impregnate- well... actually, enough of that. 

"Want to take a nap before going to meet up with Gwen and Peter?" I asked.

She groaned, "How about we just take the whole day off?"

"Now, how would they feel about that? We just said we'd help them."

"But we didn't even get our disguises today; we got distracted!"

"Right… well, a few days of makeshift stuff shouldn't matter!"

"Ugh. Then you better spoil me when we get back!"

"Sure, kitten." I booped her nose, finding it super cute how it twitched in response. Her reaction to the nickname was even better!

"W-Wha?!"

"What? Don't like the nickname?"

"Call me Kat or something grown! Don't make me sound like a baby!"

"Fine then, Kat." I pinched her stomach gently. Her head looked up as she raised her lips in thought. 

"Good… hubby!"

"Pfft. You couldn't think of something else?"

"Shut up!"

The two of us laid together, falling asleep in each other's warmth, with the childish sounds of SpongeBob as our background music. Hopefully, we woke up when the alarm went off.

..

"Yo-Yo!" Kat waved like a relaxed cat lying on a windowsill. She was resting her head on my lap, so I guess she wasn't that much different.

Gwen rolled her eyes. "Nice to see you two showed up somewhere."

"You guys will never guess who we met today!"

Kat shot up and told them our fantastic adventure. Yes, pun intended on that one. Peter and Gwen didn't believe her, which made sense. It was quite out there. The two turned to me to call her out, but…

"She's not lying. We really met them, except for the rock fellow. I even sparred with Reed."

"R-Reed? Shouldn't it be Mr. Richards?" Peter asked.

"Oh. I guess." I just shrugged away the formalities and got up from my seat. "So, what's the plan today?"

"Don't brush that off!" Gwen started freaking out. "You actually got to meet them?!"

"Yeah." x2

"Jinx!" x2

"Dang it." I was late by one second.

"That means I get to choose dinner tonight!"

"Sure. Already know what you want?"

"Chinese food. I'm craving it for some reason."

"Gotcha."

Peter and Gwen gave up and answered my earlier question.

"Just normal neighborhood stuff. Take this earpiece; it's connected to the police comms, and all you've got to do is help them out until it slows down enough."

"Slows down? Is there a prime time for crime?" Felicia asked curiously while playing with the earpiece.

Gwen put a finger to her cheek. "Between 7 and 9 is really the busiest, surprisingly."

"That's perfect!" I checked for Chinese restaurants, and most of them closed at the perfect time. "Kat and I will help you guys out until 11, then I'll rush over to this Chinese place and pick up our order."

"Really?! You'll help out that long?!"

Gwen ran over, grabbing my hands with hers.

"Yeah? We said we'd help…" I didn't understand why she was reacting so strongly. We promised to help them, like I just said. 

"But I thought it would be lighthearted at most…" Her blue eyes looked away awkwardly.

"Ahem! Let go of my boyfriend's hands!"

Felicia became a fierce cat. A jealous Kat was an intoxicating one. I really wanted to hold her and keep her in my arms right now!

"B-Boyfriend? That fast?"

"Hm! Unless I say so, you can't touch him, but if I can't handle him alone, I'm cashing in the favor you owe for us helping!"

For the first time, the heat overwhelmed my face. Neither Gwen nor Peter seemed to sense the hidden meaning in her words. Gwen just smiled and replied innocently.

"Sure!"

"Deal!"

Me, on the other hand:

"K-Kat???" I looked at her, super confused. 

"Pfft~ Aren't you lucky! She jumped at the chance."

"Were you being serious?"

"Oh. Uhhhhh, maybe. If I really can't handle you alone, I might actually need a sister." She rubbed her back with an awkward look in her eyes.

'She has to be playing. That's it. Ha.'

My girlfriend had the strangest jokes, it seemed.
