The Roommate Pt. 11

XI: Break

Lexi and Marie

Lexi

For about the hundredth time since Sunday, Lexi glanced over at her phone. Still no notifications.

Stop it. You need to get this done so you can get paid and enjoy your break.

Lexi closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, centering herself, then went back to typing. She was mostly done--just proofreading before she sent off the copy to her client. Editing, unfortunately--especially line-editing--was relatively boring and prone to putting her into a distractible state.

She glanced at her phone again, then sighed. Still nothing.

I shouldn't be expecting anything, should I? She texted me when she was at the airport and when she landed and was waiting for her luggage.

She and Marie had texted a bit more often last week...had sleeping with her changed that?

Lexi sighed, putting her head in her hands, I definitely shouldn't have done that.

Not yet, at least. That night--and the morning after--had been incredible. Probably the best night Lexi could remember having in years. That alone told her she shouldn't have done it yet. Things were still too new. There was too much she didn't know about Marie. Most of what she did know so far seemed promising, but Lexi had definitely picked up on some issues with the blonde, particularly concerning her ex and relationships in general.

I just hope that night doesn't come back to bite me.

Lexi shook her head, letting out a sigh, then focused on her screen.

Just twenty more minutes and I should be done. I can do that.

Lexi managed to examine two more lines before she heard a knock. She blinked, turning around in her chair. Anna had gone home for break yesterday.

Frowning, Lexi rose from her chair and walked out into her apartment's main room to the front door. She looked through the peephole and--

No way!

Lexi flung open the door and yelped when her sister jumped onto her with a hug and a gleeful shriek before Lexi could even get two words out. Lexi stumbled back but managed to hold on to her sister. She had to put her down, however, as both of them started laughing.

"What are you doing here?" Lexi asked, wrapping her arms around Helen in a tight, much-needed hug, "Your flight wasn't supposed to land for another hour! How did you get into the building without me?"

Helen laughed, "My flight got delayed even though I got to JFK early, so I just took the train and got some work done. And I just slipped in with a few other people downstairs when I got here--thought I would surprise you."

Lexi's sister pulled back, grinning as she grabbed her luggage from the hall and dragged it inside. Once she closed the door behind her, Helen stood up and eyed Lexi.

Lexi raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"You need to get dressed, girl, we're going out tonight!"

Lexi blinked, "It's five."

"I know how long you take to get ready."

Lexi stuck her tongue out, making her sister laugh.

"I don't take that long."

Helen arched an eyebrow, hands on hips.

Lexi sighed, "Helen, you've gotta be exhausted, and I'm still finishing up some of my freelance work."

Helen sighed, rolling her eyes, "Ugh. You know you're gonna make bank as a lawyer once you're done with school, right? I've even got some connections for summer jobs that will let you do pretty well. As far as my exhaustion..." she shrugged, "I'll take a quick nap while you finish up your work, and then you can get me a soda to chase our pre-game shots with. That way, I'll be caffeinated just long enough to have fun with you tonight before sleeping like a rock."

Lexi scrubbed a hand through her hair, "You realize it's a Wednesday, right? Particularly the night before Thanksgiving? There won't be a whole lot of people out tonight."

Helen nodded, picking up her bags and moving them into Lexi's room, "Exactly. That way we have the option of just drinking and catching up, and the option of dancing with all the other people who either didn't want to have Thanksgiving with their families or need to drink heavily in preparation for it."

Lexi couldn't help but laugh at that.

"Didn't you start doing copywriting because of how little time it takes you, anyway?" she asked from the other room, "Did you just start a project or something?"

Lexi sighed, "You're right. And no, I'm just finishing one up, but I've been distracted."

Helen walked back into the main room, smiling, "Then this will help distract you from your distractions."

Lexi raised an eyebrow.

Helen pushed her lips out in a pouty expression, "Please? You spend way too much time cooped up in here or the library doing work."

Lexi opened her mouth to object--

"Running and going to the gym don't count."

Lexi narrowed her eyes, but continued, "I wasn't going to say that. I've actually gone out either Friday or Saturday night the last three weekends."

Helen's eyes lit up.

"I'll tell you later," Lexi assured her.

"When we go out?" Helen asked.

Lexi hesitated.

"Don't make me pull the legal guardian card on you," Helen warned.

Lexi shook her head, grinning, "I'm pretty sure that doesn't work for telling me to go out and use my fake ID to get into a bar."

"Of course, it does. It's drinking under supervision."

Lexi sighed, "Fine. Go take a nap and I'll try to get my work done by the time you wake up."

Helen grinned, looking close to laughing.

"What?"

Helen hugged her again and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "I love you."

Lexi returned the hug, "Love you, too, sis."

Helen leaned in so that her mouth was right next to Lexi's ear, "I was just fucking with you to see if you'd do it. I'm way too fucking exhausted to go out tonight. But we are going out Friday night."

Helen pulled back before Lexi could stop her.

"You--!"

Lexi chased her laughing sister into her room and tackled her to the bed. They rolled around for a bit before Lexi pinned her sister down to the bed.

"You realize that I'm always going to win these, right?" Lexi asked, panting a bit.

"You realize you just rolled gross airplane germs all over your bed, right?"

"That doesn't mean you win. Now I've gotta change the sheets before you nap."

Helen stuck her tongue out at her, "You know I'd have zero trouble wrapping myself in a blanket and falling asleep on the floor."

Lexi rolled her eyes, letting herself fall to the bed so that she laid down next to her sister.

"I missed you a lot," she told Helen.

Her sister smiled, "Me, too."

Lexi motioned toward the shower, "Now go wash off all the grossness while I change the sheets for your nap.

Helen grinned.

"What?"

"After you finish your work and I'm done with my nap, can I do your hair and make-up? I got a few new palettes."

Lexi rolled her eyes, but as hard as she tried, she couldn't stop herself from grinning, "Only if you let me do yours."

"Duh!"

Marie

Marie unwrapped her towel from around her body as she stepped back into her room and locked the door behind her. Yesterday had been a bit more trying than most Thanksgivings for some reason, but she'd still managed to mostly enjoy it.

Maybe it's because everyone else actually had something to talk about.

She hadn't really been able to do that. What was she supposed to tell them--her ex dumped her because she slept with her roommate and now, she was fucking one girl even though she liked another? Nothing else super interesting had happened this year--it was just school.

Marie flopped onto her bed with a sigh, uncaring that she was still a bit damp. Thinking about Kylie and Lexi had been a mistake. Her pussy was starting to feel needy again. Even though she'd taken care of herself twice in the shower.

Marie had wanted today to be better than the previous one, so she'd woken up early, gone for a run, worked out a bit after that, and then taken a nice, long, hot shower. Except now it was only eight-thirty in the morning, and she was completely out of things to do.

Why am I so fucking horny lately? Especially when I can't really do anything about it.

She had one vibrator hidden away, but it was just for playing with her clit. She wanted something inside her.

Ugh. Stop thinking about that. You have friends--text them.

Most were still away for Thanksgiving, though, and wouldn't be back until tonight or tomorrow.

Emily's around, though.

Marie reached for her phone and found herself looking at her texts with Lexi. They'd texted each other "Happy Thanksgiving," but nothing since then. Marie hadn't wanted to bother Lexi if she was with her family, and she imagined Lexi was probably doing the same to be considerate.

It should be fine to text her now, right?

But Marie didn't. She was too nervous. She'd been afraid of fucking things up with Lexi even before that incredible night with her.

It wasn't just nerves, though.

Despite that night, Marie couldn't get Kylie out of her head. The brunette had made it clear that she was not interested in a relationship, but sex with her had been so fucking amazing. Maybe not better than it had been with Lexi, but...different-good.

Marie's pussy twitched.

"Ugh!" Marie flopped back on the bed.

Aaand now I'm even more horny.

She looked at her phone again, then closed it and put it on the nightstand. She could text Emily later. They'd probably be drinking, so she needed to make sure she was all sexed-out before then. She did not want a repeat of what had happened with her and her big. Especially not with Emily.

Fuck...I really hope that won't be a thing now.

Lexi

Lexi grinned at her sister as Helen spun around to face the pretty redhead grinding against her. The redhead's eyes bulged for a bit as the tall brunette pulled her close, but then seemed to relax as she rested her hands on Helen's shoulders and continued to dance.

Catching her sister's gaze, Lexi laughed and made a lewd gesture that made her sister's cheeks turn bright red.

Helen had insisted on picking what they would wear to the club. They weren't the same size, but close enough that they could borrow a little bit from one another. Lexi's waist wasn't as tiny as Helen's but her bust was only a bit smaller, and her ass and thighs were thicker than her sister's.

Helen had decided they should both wear red. Lexi didn't normally wear the color, as she didn't think it always looked great with her skin tone, but Helen had helped her with her make-up to take care of that. Lexi still thought Helen's paler skin and dark hair went better with the color.

While Helen had worn a skintight bodycon dress that barely came down past her ass, however, Lexi had worn a tight, shiny skirt short enough to display her thighs without putting her in the danger zone if she got hard, and a flowy red tank top that showed off her body chain and abs, now shining with a thin sheen of sweat from the club's heat. So far, the skirt had proven long enough.

A pair of hands on her hips pulled Lexi's attention away from her sister.

"Wanna dance?" a breathy, feminine voice whispered in her ear.

Lexi spun around and looked the girl up and down.

Jet black hair tumbled down past the girl's shoulders in thick waves. She was pale, with plush red lips and big brown eyes that gave her an innocent look even with the painted-on dress she wore that made her already impressive chest pop and emphasized the difference between her waist and juicy hips.

Lexi just grinned and put her hands on the girl's waist in response to the question. The girl smiled back up at her and moved a bit closer.

"I'm Tess."

"Lexi."

They engaged in the usual small talk, but with their bodies so close together, the vibrating bass of the club's music, and the alcohol warming Lexi's body, that didn't last long.

Lexi soon found herself with her hands on Tess's ass, Tess nipping at her bottom lip, their hips grinding together.

Lexi's cock started to strain a bit, but she knew she still had a ways to go before she was in danger of anything needing an adjustment.

Tess's lips moved to Lexi's neck, her hands at Lexi's waist.

Lexi grinned at the familiar way Tess's fingers danced over her stomach, drinking in the contours of her muscles. She gasped when Tess nipped at her neck and threaded her fingers in the girl's raven hair, pulling her lips to her own to meet in another heated kiss.

When they finally broke apart again to breathe, Lexi grinned down at Tess, noticing the hazy look in the girl's eyes that hadn't been there before they'd started making out.

"Want to take a break and get a drink?" Lexi asked.

Tess pursed her lips in a pout, "No fake, unfortunately. I'll meet you over there though--just need to run to the restroom really quick."

She half-turned then looked back at Lexi and grinned hopefully, "If you're okay with it, I like fruity drinks."

Lexi smiled and nodded, "So do I."

She grabbed Tess and pulled her in for another kiss--a bit rougher this time--that left the dark-haired girl dazed for a moment before she ran off to the restroom.

Lexi watched her for a moment, then strode over to the bar, suddenly very thirsty.

She ordered a raspberry mojito, then smiled at her sister when Helen came up beside her and ordered the same.

"You looked like you were having fun," Helen said, smirking.

Lexi stuck her tongue out, "I'm a dumb college girl barely old enough to drink. What's your excuse?"

"Over-worked, under-sexed lawyer."

"Damn, so I really need to party it up before I graduate, huh?"

Helen shrugged, "It pays well."

Lexi grinned as the bartender handed them their drinks and Helen handed over her card, "Fair enough."

The sisters sipped on their drinks while the bartender rung them up.

"So, do I get to sleep in a bed tonight, or are you planning on taking that girl home?"

Lexi opened her mouth to shoot back something sassy, but the words died on her tongue.

Fuck, what was I doing? After the way I felt that night with Marie?

Lexi set down her drink.

Did I just not even care? Or was I doing that on purpose because I'm afraid of how great things felt with Marie?

"Lexi?"

Tess was hot, and nice enough, and she and Marie hadn't exactly agreed to anything yet, but...

I don't want to have to tell Tess and just hope she accepts me.

A hand on her arm made Lexi glance up at Helen, noting the concern in her eyes.

"Would you be okay if we just went home?" she asked, "I'm not really feeling it anymore."

Helen frowned, "You alright?"

Lexi sighed, "Yeah. I think I'd prefer to spend the night just you and me."

Helen stared at her a moment longer, then nodded and downed her drink. Lexi raised an eyebrow when the brunette stuck her tongue out and picked a few pieces of mint off her tongue, dropping them back into the glass.

"What?" she asked when she noticed Lexi looking at her, "I just paid for it."

Lexi glanced at her own drink, then did the same. She'd need the warmth for the walk back since they hadn't brought coats.

When Helen grabbed her hand after taking her card back from the bartender, Lexi smiled.

"Come on," her sister said, tugging her toward the exit, "Let's go."

A/N: What do you think of Helen? Do you want more of her? Also, I don't know if I've explicitly mentioned it yet, but:

Yes, Lexi is 21, and a Junior in college, a year above Marie.

No, she does not go to the same school as Marie.

No, I have not decided what school she goes to, but it's a good one, and she lives off-campus.

I hope you're enjoying this!
