His Lips

EPISODE 8

I can't believe it, so I close my eyes, and open it again. He's still there. I grip Calvin's arm tighter, as Zack eyes us.

"Um, hey," he greets us awkwardly, holding a small bag with a 'Get well soon' design on it. "I, uh, didn't know you would visit."

"He is my brother," I say, and he laughs quietly.

"Right." He looks over at Calvin, who actually seems nervous, but only for a second, before his hand is outstretched towards a surprised Zack.

"Calvin Diamond, Rose's husband," he greets, a icy, formal tone. Zack takes it, both men making serious eye contact.

"Zack Williams... Rose's ex," he says. I stifle a gasp, angrily shooting Zack a glare. How dare he!

"Ah, yes. Rose told me about you," Calvin responds swiftly. Thank God Calvin's so confident and smart, although he's probably not happy I didn't tell him that before.

"Really?" Zack replies, a hint of amusement in his tone. I stare at the ground. "Hope there hasn't been any problems between you two," he says. Calvin frowns.

"No, of course not, right dear?" he says, a stern look in his eyes. I try not to shiver as I answer.

"Yup!" I say. Zack looks at me worriedly, but nods.

"Alright. Take care, you two," he says, with a too-sweet smile. He looks at me, and I can see sadness wash over him. "I'll see you soon, Rose," he says. I nod.

We watch as he steps in, and then shuts the door.

"Who is that?" asks Calvin. I gulp.

"Um, Zack. My, uh, ex."

"What?! Why didn't you tell me about him sooner?!"

"Sorry! I just thought I've gotten over him since me and you have a better relationship now, and I was afraid if I mentioned him you would think I'm some kind of wh**e or something!" I blurt out. His eyes soften as he hears my words. "I know I said I'll trust you, and I will. Just, please..." I beg. "Forgive me."

"Ah, it's alright, dear. I... understand. Just stop hiding things, okay?"

I nod.

He grabs my hand and leads me out. We're heading in the car when he suddenly speaks again. "I'm just afraid you still love him, you know? I've grown attached to you..."

I chuckle. "Me too."

We begin to drive and arrive home. He walks over to the kitchen and gets a snack while I walk over to our room. That's when I walk smack into Thalia.

"Hello!" she says, giggling.

"What?" I ask. She looks at me, smiling.

"You told Calvin about what I told you, right?" she says, a slight menacing tone to her sweet voice. I try not to shiver, try to act brave as I answer.

"So? He deserves to know what a wh*re like you said!" I say. "And he already told me it wasn't true."

"Don't worry," she snickers. "It'll become true."

I ignore her, settling in the canopy bed. What is she going to do? Dress up as me and act like me in order to confuse Calvin? I snicker, and begin dozing off.

Calvin shakes me awake, helping me stand. "My parents are coming over," he whispers. I quickly open my eyes.

"Huh?"

"My parents. They'll be here for dinner in an hour, we have to get ready now!" he whispers. I nod, and jump up, heading to the bathroom.

"I'll be out quickly!" I promise, and he nods.

I indulge in a hot shower, rubbing soap over my body, when I hear a soft rap on the bathroom window. I look out, confused. And I see Zack.

He spots me and points to the window, telling me to open it. I open it, struggling.

"What?!" I whisper. "You can't be here, Calvin's parents are coming over for dinner, and I have to get ready!" I say. He doesn't answer, and steps in. "Zack! I'm taking a shower!" I say.

"Huh?" He sees me, finally. I try to cover myself with the shower curtain, although it's transparent. "Rose..." he whispers. "Rose... I miss you," he whispers.

"Zack..." I groan. He suddenly pulls me close, his warm lips colliding with my wet ones. "No, Zack! We can't!" I beg, but he takes of his pants in one movement. "Zack! I love Calvin!"

"But I love you!" he begs.

"Can't you understand I don't? I've gotten to know him, and I love him! I say, pushing him away. "Get out, Zack!"

"No!" he says, eyes determined. His gorgeous face eyes me. "I need you, Rose. Let me have you one more time."

"No way. I'm not a toy!" I say, and shut the curtains. But somehow he manages to enter and pins me against the wet wall. He kisses me in a desperate fever, like he wants to forget everything. "Zack..." I moan, as he kisses my neck, his hand traveling to my wet intimate parts. "Oh!" I squeal, as his wet body presses onto my own, and he carries me over his shoulder, lightly slapping my a*s.

He opens his mouth, his soft lips pressing onto mine, his hands entering my p***y. He sticks out his m*mber, entering it into me. "Ah!" I cry, as he moves quickly, the warm water making everything more like dream... more pleasant. "God, Zack... you're making me confused... I don't know if I can love both of you..." I whisper in his ear.

"I still love you, Rose," he promises. "Just tell me and I'll help you get out of here," he says. I nod, and he gets out of the shower, wiping his gorgeous body with my towel. He puts on his clothes, and I plant a kiss on his lips, as he climbs out.

"Don't get in trouble, Zack "

"As if I wasn't already in it with you?" he smirks. "If your husband finds out, he'll kill me."

"Just go," I whisper. He nods, and disappears. I just hope he won't get a cold because of the shower. And I hope I can think better of this. Because I am playing with two hearts, and that's not right. I have to pick someone, and fast.

I can't be stuck with two men. Only one can stay.
