AN: Again, mature mentions and going ons in this chapter.

I stand in the living room, my stomach feeling off. I’ve felt off this whole week. Monday, Sidney’s cousin came in town and she convinced Autumn to go on a date with him. This was her first date, ever. Sidney and Autumn were in Autumn’s room now, getting her ready.

“Okay, we’re coming out!” Sidney’s voice calls.

She and Autumn appear from around the corner and I’m sure my mouth drops open.

“What do you think?” Autumn mumbles, pulling at the hem of her sleeves.

“Wow…” I breathe, then see Sidney’s face. “Uhm, I mean, you look great, Autumn.”

“Thanks.” She blushes and looks at her shoes.

“I did the best I could with the clothes in her closet.” Sidney smiles, proud of herself.

I smile at her, but don’t say anything. Sidney may have helped her with her make-up, hair, and clothing, but Autumn was the one pulling it off. And damn, was she pulling it off. I walk over to Autumn and pull her into a hug.

“You look amazing.” I tell her again. Her heart races against my chest and I step back a little, looking at her.

The doorbell rings and she jumps slightly, her hand clutching around my arm.

“Are you sure you want to do this? You don’t have to if you don’t want to. I can answer the door right now and tell him to go away.” I say.

“No,” Autumn takes a deep breath, turning her eyes to search mine, “No, I want to go. I need to go.” She smiles and turns toward the door.

“Okay, have fun. If at any point you want out, let me know and I’ll come get you.” I move to ruffle her hair, but stop and let my hand drop instead, not wanting to mess it up.

“Thanks.” She says, walking out the door.

As soon as it shuts Sidney looks at me.

“Let’s go out.” She says.

“Hmm?” I ask, still watching the door.

“I said, let’s go out. I’m bored.”

“Alright.”

******************

The stars are bright in the night sky and the air is cool on our skin. We’re out at a park up in the mountains and Sidney is all over me. I react to her kisses and touches how I know she wants me to, but my mind is on Autumn.

Sidney’s hands run underneath my shirt and along my back, her nails softly trailing after her fingertips, raising goose bumps along my skin. She slides her hands down, down, down, until their underneath my belt. I shiver with pleasure, gnome does she know what she’s doing.

I crush my lips against hers, wanting to forget about Autumn on her date, wanting to forget about the pit in my stomach that grows each time I think about it.

Sidney pulls her hands out and undoes my belt and pants, sliding them down. She smiles at me, pulling away from my kiss. I smile back at her, knowing what’s coming and knowing it’ll clear my mind for the time.

I turn my eyes to the stars as she slips down my chest, her breath leaving a hot trail that stokes the fire of pleasure burning in me. I let out a moan as she begins going down on me. My mind begins to blank, just like I want it to.

“Autumn.” I moan out.

Sidney stops moving, then pulls away and stands to look at me. Her eyes burn with anger.

“What did you just say?” She demands, looking pissed.

“I don’t-“ I pause. Oh, shit. What did I just say? “Oh, gnome, Sidney, I’m sorry. I was just worrying about her, she’s never been on a date before and-“

“Oh, can it.” She spits. “I knew you and Autumn weren’t just best friends. When the hell did you two start cheating behind my back, huh? Or has it always been going on?” Her eyes shoot daggers at me.

“What? No, I have never cheated on you. Autumn and I aren’t…we’re not…I swear. I have no idea why I said her name.”

My phone goes off in my pocket, on the ground. Right, my pants are down. I pull them back up and check my phone.

Autumn: Can you come get me?

“Shit.” I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

“It’s Her isn’t it.” Sidney sneers.

“Yea, listen. I’m going to drop you off at your house then go get her. We can both calm down, then talk about this tomorrow.” I say, clicking reply on my phone.

“10 minutes. Where?” I send.

“Forget it. I’ll walk. There’s nothing to talk about. You’re a cheater and Autumn isn’t as prim and proper as she acts. We’re done.” Sidney hisses, turning and walking off. “Oh, by the way, you’re not the only one that cheated.”

I sigh in frustration and ignore her, unlocking my phone again.

Autumn: Corner of Johnson and Main St.

“K. 5 min.” I send back, running to my car.
