Lipstick

Chapter 14: Wicked Green

In the morning after our shower, I sit on the bed in my underwear and a t-shirt as Josie holds me in her arms and rests her chin on my shoulder. I turn my phone on and see a few texts from Sage.

'I'm bored.'

'Doing anything tomorrow?'

'Hello!?'

'Are you ignoring me?'

'Kat?'

"Sage wants to know what I'm doing," I say.

"Tell her you're busy."

"Did she ask you too?"

"Yeah, and I blew her off."

I respond,

'Sorry, busy this weekend. My parents dragged me along to this lame conference.'

Josie kisses my cheek and I smile and turn my head to peck her on the lips.

'Lame.' Sage responds.

My phone starts ringing, it's Carson.

"Hello?" I answer.

Josie pouts and pulls me closer.

"Hey, good morning. Didn't hear from you last night. Just wanted to see if you want to hang out today."

"Yeah sorry, my phone died last night. Lost my charger." I lie.

"Happens to the best of us."

Josie kisses me on the neck, softly at first before she starts giving me a hickey.

I sigh in pleasure.

"Anyway, wanna hang out?" he asks after a long pause in silence.

"I uh... emm, I can't."

"Oh."

"Sorry, I'm super behind on my school work."

"Well, maybe I can come over and help."

"No, it's okay. I focus better when I'm alone."

"But... I see Josie's car is still at your house."

"Yeah, she spent the night. It's actually a school project we are working on together."

Josie smiles at my lie.

I elbow her.

She giggles.

"Anyway, I should probably get to work we sort of procrastinated yesterday. See you tomorrow at school okay?" I say.

"Okay," he sounds disappointed.

With that, I hang up.

"Could you not turn me on when I'm trying to have a conversation with my boyfriend?" I turn to Josie.

"Break up with him already, he's a loser. You can do way better than him."

"I think I already did better, last night." I tease.

"Damn right you did, but we can make it official. You and me. Together, out in public. Out to the world."

My heart skips a beat at that.

"What's the rush, maybe I just want you all to myself." I turn in her arms to face her.

"Do you now?"

"What can I say, I don't like to share." I tease before kissing her.

She moans into my mouth.

"Let's go do something fun today," Josie whispers against my lips.
