When Miles woke up the following morning, he felt that Clara's arms were still wrapped around his neck, while her head was resting on his chest. He smiled, before realizing the reason he woke up was because of someone loudly knocking on the door.
He loudly groaned, "Ay, sí, sí! Clares, someone's at the door." As he gently pushed Clara off him, he felt that his head was pounding.
"My head.." Clara started rubbing her forehead, not realizing Miles got out of her bed. When she did, her eyes widened to the size of basketballs, while hiding her face in her pillow as she groaned out of embarrassment and regret. "Oh, fuck! I mean, one time in one place, okay. But, after we downed that bottle of wine.. God, I'm gonna kill myself."
A chuckle left Miles' lips, as he pulled his sweatpants up and walked towards the door. "Lucia, the fuck are you doing here?"
When the door opened, revealing Lucia standing in the doorway, a worried look plastered on her face, Lucia's eyes shot to Clara's bedroom. "Clara! Are you okay?" She pulled her into a hug, surprising the clearly hungover Clara.
Loudly groaning, she pushed Lucia away. Her eyes were half closed, her hair was all over the place - and looked similar to a birds nest -, and she was walking in a shirt that was clearly not hers, which she didn't realize, until Lucia cocked an eyebrow at Clara, while looking at the shirt. "I think I might die. What? Is something wrong?"
Miles started smirking at Clara, "You're wearing my shirt. And.. You're not wearing pants." As she rolled her eyes, and went back into her room to put on some pants, he was very obviously checking the back of her out, while she reached down.
"Oh, my god. Did you two sleep together?" Lucia gasped, and shook Clara's shoulders as soon as she was standing straight up. Even though she was supposed to be the big sister who hated every guy Clara dated, but deep down, she was rooting for Clara and Miles.
A loud groan escaped her lips, as Clara basically ran to the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. "No! I just needed comfort after what happened, and because you were out fucking some random guy, Miles was the one to comfort me."
Lucia scoffed, while cocking an eyebrow at Clara. "So that's why I just heard you talk about 'one time one place', and then something about finishing a whole bottle of wine, and cussing the air out?" An evil grin formed on her lips, as her little sister turned around with eyes twice the normal size.
Her jaw was basically on the floor, as Clara's left eye started twitching. "..You heard that. I was drunk, it was a mistake. Right, Miles?" Clara hopefully looked at Miles, who was smirking at her.
"Whatever you call it, Clare." Playfully cocking his eyebrows at his roommate, Miles sat down on the couch. He was kind of offended that Clara seemed so embarrassed about it, but he did understand. But, he was exactly the opposite of embarrassed, since he started to admit he maybe had a small crush on her.
Clara groaned again, before grabbing her coffee and walking over to the couch. "You agreed that it was! You know what, let's not talk about it. From now on, no one's allowed to talk about it." When she sat down on the other corner of the couch, Miles turned the television on and started watching boondocks, even though it was Clara's turn to pick. She let him watch it, anyway, since her headache was bothering her too much to give a shit.
"You two act like an old married couple." Lucia scoffed, sitting down in between the two of them. After a couple minutes, she noticed that Clara wasn't looking at the TV, but at the walk next to it, while barely blinking. When Lucia nudged her waist, Clara's head shot up, before a loud groan left her lips.
As the look in her eyes turned embarrassed, she hid her head in her hands since she felt her cheeks heat up. "Oh, god. I- I'm going back to my room, I'm literally too tired to function."
When Clara stood up and slummed to her room, her mind was going crazy. Before Lucia pulled her out of her thoughts, she was fantasizing about her last night. About Miles. She kept telling herself that it was just because he was weirdly good in bed - considering the fact that he rarely ever had one night stands, let alone a relationship -, refusing to even think about it or him in another way, ever again. As she tightly rolled herself into her blanket, Lucia opened her bedroom door and sat down next to where Clara's feet were, in the corner of her bed.
She softly smiled at her little sister, as she squeezed her calf. "Are you sure you're okay? I care about you. I don't want you getting depressed."
"Really, I'm fine. He barely did anything, and it's really just a big blur for me." A soft chuckle left Clara's lips, but tears were stinging in her eyes, and apparently, Lucia could see it.
Getting up and crouching down in front of Clara's face, she raised her eyebrows. "It's okay. Talk to me, Clara. I'm your sister, you can trust me." Lucia's hand softly brushed some hair out of her younger sisters face, sending her over the edge.
A couple tears fell down on her pillow, but Clara quickly wiped her face. It didn't do anything, since the tears kept coming. "I feel like- Like a slut. Some guy that's apparently obsessed with me tries to fuck me, and then I.. With my roommate." The more she thought about this, the more Clara started to feel nasty, resulting in Lucia sitting next to her pillow, letting her cry into her shoulder.
"Clara, you're not a slut." Lucia stopped talking for a minute, making sure that Miles wasn't close to Clara's room, and lowered her voice to a whisper. "You didn't do anything wrong, and you're not dirty. Clare, he was horrible. You know you can press charges for sexual assault, right?"
"He's far too rich, and I'm not about to go into that, since I'm not pulling any strings. I just want to forget all about it, and move on." Deeply sighing, she wiped tears from her cheeks, as they stopped rolling down. It felt relieving to have cried about it, and it really made Clara feel better.
When Lucia saw the relieved smile on Clara's face, she knew it was genuine, so she wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "That's fine. You have to promise me that you're gonna call me if you don't feel good, all right?" While Clara giggled and nodded, she smiled. "Okay, something to take your mind off it. Let's rewatch all the Harry Potter movies, and eat a shit ton of junk food."
Clara gasped, "I think that's the brightest idea you ever had! I can't eat too much junk though."
Loudly scoffing, her sister shook her shoulders. She didn't understand why her sister would throw food away, just for a job she wasn't gonna keep. "Jesus. Dear sister of mine, you barely eat anything, ever. A little junk food doesn't hurt your weight."
"No, no. It's not that I care about that, it's just that I have to maintain the weight I had a few weeks ago for my shoot." Chuckling, she got out of her bed, pulling Lucia with her. Clara's face was still red from the crying, but she pretended not to know anything about that when walking out.
Miles did get a little suspicious, but when Lucia shot him a look, he brushed it off. He actually ended up watching Harry Potter with the sisters, since he didn't have anything better to do. But sadly, his uncle interrupted him during the fourth movie, saying it was urgent. He came back in the middle of the night, with scratches and cuts all over his body, but he cleaned them up without Clara waking up.
When the two of them were watching the news the next morning, a bit about the Prowler came on the news. Normally, Miles would have changed the channel, but Clara insisted on watching.
"Last night, bystanders saw the Prowler breaking into an apartment complex, and captured it with their phone. It seems like it was a targeted attack, since he only broke into one apartment, rented by Chuck James. He got badly injured, and is now in the hospital. His family tells us that he will get better soon, and make a full recovery from his broken leg and rib. Sadly, police was not at the scene of the crime in time, and weren't able to catch the Prowler."
Clara gasped when she saw the face of her former attacker on the TV screen, and turned towards Miles. "That's the guy! Oh, my god. He must've done some shady shit to be targeted by the Prowler." The shocked look on her face disappeared after a few seconds, getting replaced by a laugh.
The male next to her chuckled, too. Seeing Clara so happy about something he did made him kind of disappointed that he couldn't tell her he did it, but Miles knew it was for the best. "You think he fucked with the Prowler?"
"I don't think he directly did, since that's pretty difficult. I mean, he did go to great lengths with me, who knows what else he does? Maybe he messed with his family or something. I don't necessarily think the Prowler's as bad as everybody thinks he is. He doesn't target innocent civilians, not that we know of. Who knows, maybe he has a good mindset but executes it the wrong way." Clara shrugged, not aware of how scarily accurate she was. As she took a sip of her coffee and looked at the pictures of Chucks completely thrashed apartment on TV.
Raising his eyebrows at the black haired girl, Miles tried to suppress the grin wanting to come out. "Really? I've never heard anyone say they don't think the Prowler's that bad. Didn't expect this from you, law student." He nudged her arm, with a smug look on his face.
"I think he might be a pretty cool person. I'm not saying I agree with what he does, but I would like to defend him in court." Clara softly chuckled at her own way of saying she kind of liked the villain, while Miles rolled his eyes at her.
