My Only Exception (gxg)

Part 14

"Thank you," she said as I handed her the pills and water bottle.

"Of course."

Poppy and I sat on my bed, and I looked at her, "I've heard that sex is really good for easing a headache."

Poppy laughed but said in a flirtatious tone, "I think I've heard that as well. Why don't we give it a try?"

Moments later, Poppy was sitting on the edge of my bed, legs spread, and I had sunk down to my knees to please her. She held my head in place as I pleasured her with my mouth and my fingers at once, until she cried out my name, climaxing hard against my face.

"Fuck," she said breathlessly, "You are so damn good at that, Delilah."

"Yes, I've been told."

Poppy swatted my shoulder playfully, and as she did, my phone started to vibrate. It was getting late for someone to call me, and I was suddenly very concerned it was someone calling to tell me something had happened to my mom.

Thankfully, it wasn't.

It was Emily.

Emily. Fuck.

I looked at Poppy, "It's Emily. I can call her back later."

"No, you can take the call. I'll be silent."

"Okay," I said, and then answered the call before it dropped, "Hey, Em, what's up?"

"Hi!" she said, "I had a question for you, I'm with Evan right now."

"Hi, Evan," I said into the phone, "What's your question?"

"Would you be down for a double date? Evan and I, and his friend Morgan. She's a lesbian."

"A double date?" I asked Emily, and I saw Poppy's eyes flicker toward me.

"It doesn't have to be anything serious. Who knows though, she could be the love of your life. I'd really like it if you did this."

I've already been a lousy friend, even though she has no idea. It's the least I can do.

But what about Poppy?

"Alright," I said reluctantly, "When?"

"Does tomorrow work?"

"Sure, tomorrow is fine."

"Awesome! Thanks, Delilah. I'm so happy you'll do this."

"No problem," I said, "I'll see you tomorrow. Text me the details."

After I hung up, I looked at Poppy, "Sorry about that."

"You're going on a double date?" she asked me.

"I don't want to. But Emily really wanted me to, and it's the least I can do, considering...well, this."

"I understand," Poppy looked up at me, "Hopefully your date won't be as hot as me."

I couldn't help but smile as I looked at Poppy, "There's no way in hell she will be."

Emily wound up sending me a picture of Morgan. She was definitely cute, with red hair and freckles.

She's not Poppy, though.

As I was getting ready for the double date, I got a text from Poppy. It said, "Have fun on your date" with a winky face emoji.

I texted her back reiterating once again that I didn't want to go on this date.

This was going to be my first time meeting Evan as well, and the four of us were meeting at a bar/restaurant in town called Fiesta.
