My Lover

Chapter 5

"At least tell me your name." He says, plopping onto the couch, me falling onto his lap. It's really impressive how perfect the lighting is. I can literally only see his nose and his lips. 

"It's... Carmen. What's yours?" I say, knowing damn well my name is not Carmen. 

"My name is Alex. Nice to meet you," He says, pulling out his phone and then handing it to me. "Put your number in. I don't wanna have to wait accidentally run into you to talk to you again." 

I grin and put my number in his phone.  I watch as he puts my contact name as "Ma" with a green heart emoji after. He then texts me, saying "Yo".

"What the hell was that for?" I ask, snorting. 

"It could have been a fake number." He says.

"You were literally just balls-deep in my throat. What do I look like giving you a fake number??" I say, laughing. 

"I dunno, I guess I just wanted to make sure you actually wanted to talk to me," He says. "Even though you bit my neck like a fucking vampire. And scratched the hell out of my back,"

I lean in and kiss him. "Of course, I wanna talk to you, Alex. You're cool!"

"So.... you got the digits?" Mei asks, plopping down on my bed. 

"Yeah, of course I did," I say, and she daps me up. "I also have a nagging suspicion that he lied to me about his name," I say.

"Why are you so paranoid about this dude?" She asks.

"Because I swear I know him. I just don't know how. Also... we did some things in the storage room of the host's house." I say. 

"You freaky bitch!! Do you at least know what he looks like now?" She asks, a devious glint in her eyes. 

I look at her. "About that..." 

"YOU DUMB HOE!! WHAT IF HE'S A SERIAL KILLER AND HE'S LOOKING FOR A NEW VICTIM?? WHAT IF YOU KNOW THE GUY AND HE'S ACTIVELY TRYING TO PREVENT YOU FROM FIGURING OUT HIS TRUE IDENTITY??? WHAT IF HE'S THE NEXT JEFFERY DAHMER????" She yells, her face turning red. 

"Girl, we aren't even together!! We just hooked u-" My phone cuts me off, ringing. I look and see it's Alex, who's contact name is 'party guy' in my phone. "SHIT, HE'S CALLING!!" 

Her eyes widen and she grins, mouthing "ANSWER ITTT!!" 

"Yo?" I say, picking it up and putting it on speakerphone after 5 rings. 

"Yo, what you doing right now?" He asks. 

"Just watching a movie. How about you?" 

"Just got out the shower and... Oh! It's up again." He says.

"I can't help you out there, no face no case, remember?"

"I forgot. But why can't you just come over with a mask on?" He asks.

"Because I don't want to. Plus, we were literally just together less than an hour ago. Miss me already?" I ask, snorting. 

"Kinda...? But not you, your body," He says absentmindedly. "I dunno, I just haven't been able to stop thinking about you since the first time we met. I wanna know more about you." He says.

I look up at  Mei, just to see her sneaking out of the room. "I'm going home, good luck," She mouths. I nod.

"Well, you gotta tell me about you first. Like... what school do you go to?"

"William High. And you?" 

"I go to the same school. What grade?" I ask.

"Senior. And you?"

"Same here. And who do you have first period?"

"Mr. Liam. You?"

"No way... me too! How do I not already know who you are??" I ask, laying on my stomach, my feet kicking in the air behind me. Yuck.

"I dunno, I could ask you the same thing, Carmen." 

I bite my lip and ask him another question, then another, then another.

"Damn, bitch!! Why do you look so tired?" Nathan asks. 

"Why do you look so fucking ugly?" I retort. "Nah, I take that back. You aren't ugly."

"Hey, you're being nice to me! Why? Got some last night?" He asks, snorting.

"Well, if you must know... Yes. Yes, I did," I say, smirking. "And... he's someone in this class," I say.

He looks upset for a second, but I shake it off. Can't be. We've been feuding for weeks now. "Well, sucks to be him." He says before turning around. 

"I mean, it's not like you're getting any," I say, snorting. 

"Oh, but I did!! And it was the best experience I've ever had."

"And the only. I highly doubt you get any play. What girl would want you?" 

"A girl who's good at kissing and great at making sure I'm satisfied."

"Hm. Well, I'm still not gonna believe you, and matter of fact, I wanna see her." 

"I can't show you her." 

"Because you're lying, Nathan. I'm not dumb."

"Well, tell me who your man is, and then we'll talk."

"Well... I said he was in our class," I say. And then I realize... "WAIT!!! I DON'T GOTTA PROVE NOTHING TO YOU!! YOU'RE THE ANNOYING WHITE DUDE IN MY CLASS!" 

"I KNEW YOU DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE A MAN!"

"YO, WHY ARE YOU YELLING?? I'LL FUCK YOU UP IN HERE!!" I yell.

"Just wait until we leave class." He mumbles before looking away from me.
