Chapter 4
Scarlett's hand searched around for her phone. Laying on her front, her eyes still closed trying to hold onto those last few moments of sleep. Her right hand swept under her pillows and found its target. Clicking in the side button she held the phone away from her face to avoid the blinding light. She gingerly angled the screen toward her face - 04:56am.
Scarlett estimated she'd had maybe 45mins of sleep in total last night. She slowly rolled onto her back and stared at her dark bedroom ceiling. No sound could be heard throughout the house. It was a kind of absence of sound that seemed to surround Scarlett and trap her in her bed. Scarlett wrapped her duvet around herself and rolled onto her side staring at the wall. The events of last night had been doing laps in her mind all night.
The nerves she felt modelling, the excitement she felt being naked in a room full of people. The lust and desire she felt in the bathroom afterwards and the incredibly intense orgasm she'd been made to have. Scarlett glanced to her bed side table and the string of pearls which sat upon it. She couldn't help but smile as she remembered her visitor swinging the necklace around spraying the room in her juices.
The sense of dread and foreboding which had robbed her of a good night's sleep was centred around what happened with her best friend Lucy last night. After introducing Scarlett to her aunt Florence, Lucy could tell something wasn't quite right. Scarlett could easily tell Lucy was internally adding things together and getting suspicious. Aunt Florence did little to help the situation with comments like "It's nice to officially meet you". Scarlett had done her best to act natural, before stating she had to go and practically running for the door. Scarlett heard Lucy calling after her as she ran from the Art building to her car but chose to ignore her.
The rest of her night consisted of her worrying what might be said between her best friend and her aunt. What information might be revealed and the possible fallout from certain facts becoming public knowledge. Scarlett couldn't shake this nervous energy that had wrapped around itself her and refused to let go. Scarlett decided a day at home, in bed was the best plan. Avoid the problems for as long as she could. Taking one more look at her phone - 05:08am. Scarlett closed her eyes and attempted to sleep again.
It wasn't until around 10am Scarlett's need to pee outweighed her desire to stay in bed. Knowing she was alone at home she didn't bother putting any clothes on, she just walked to the bathroom in the oversized Metallica shirt she wore to bed. Scarlett activated the screen on her phone after sitting down and beginning to pee. She dismissed the notifications for junk emails and those alerting her to new stories from her friends. She sat staring at the multiple messages she'd received from Lucy. Sadly, she couldn't see what they said, only that she had 6 unread messages.
Taking a deep breathe she opened the messaging app and begun reading the messages from Lucy. Her heart started beating fast not knowing what to expect and wondering how much her best friend knew.
Lucy - Hey Scar, is everything OK...you ran off like the place was on fire - 20:47
Lucy - Hi Scarlett - not sure if your seeing my messages but if I've done something to piss you off just tell me - 20:58
Lucy - Why is my auntie asking so many questions about you - 21:42
Lucy - Taking my auntie home soon - please call me - I hate feeling I've annoyed you - 22:03
Lucy - So my mind has been totally blown - my auntie has told me everything.... - 22:47
The final message to come through was a picture message which hadn't loaded but the caption was visible. "We need to talk" was all it said.
Scarlett couldn't tell what the image in the message was - a beige background and dark lines but the entire image was blurred. Scarlett clicked the download icon. She sat waiting for the internet to do its thing. As the seconds went by her nerves grew larger and larger until the image was finally revealed. It was Aunt Florence's hand drawn picture of Scarlett naked, legs slightly spread, her pink and perky nipples pointing out and a sexy look in her eyes. Scarlett swallowed hard as she re-read the caption again "We need to talk"
Scarlett dropped her phone to the floor with a thud and dropped her head into her open hands gently shaking her head from side to side. Before the realisation set in that her secret was now out, she heard the front door being banged on. Scarlett wiped and flushed and headed to the 2nd floor window in her step brother's room as it had the advantage of being able to see who was at the door. Scarlett crawled onto the unmade bed and covertly looked out and down. It was Lucy, standing a few steps back from the front door, her phone in hand and wearing a large backpack but also had a large black canvas bag at her side.
Scarlett's curiosity about her friend's belongings proved to be her undoing as Scarlett stared for too long trying to make out what her friend was carrying. Lucy looked up into the window and saw her best friend. Their eyes met and Scarlett instinctively hunched down on the bed. Forgetting slightly that she was only wearing a large T shirt her pussy rubbed against the pillows on her step brothers bed and she felt a rush of desire as her hormones surged. "Get down here and open the door Scarlett - I saw you in the window I know your home, plus your car is right here." called Lucy's voice from outside.
Scarlett got up off the bed and headed down to the door. At the top of the stairs, she looked down at herself and considered putting on some bottoms or at the very least some underwear but decided against it. After all, she'd had all night to stare at the naked drawing of her. Scarlett reached the door and could see the shape of her friend behind it. Taking a deep breathe she opened the door and stared sheepishly at her friend. "Hey Lucy, sorry I didn't message you last night I was...." Scarlett started but was interrupted by Lucy "Forget that - we have far more important things to talk about" Lucy announced as she walked in past Scarlett and set her large canvas handbag down and started to slide off her backpack.
Scarlett closed to door and turned to face her friend without saying a word. Scarlett didn't know what to say and she expected Lucy to begin calling her names and making fun of her for posing nude for the class. She had no idea how much she really knew at this point so figured it was best to let her talk. Lucy stood there smiling at her friend and the pair could feel the awkwardness of the situation. Lucy glanced down at her friend's bald pussy, Scarlett noticed her gaze linger there and felt herself starting to get warm.
