Iris
“So, is he like your booooyfriend now?”Noelle drawled the word teasingly.
“Well, he’s definitely not a boy,” Iris smirked, moving around the kitchen in her comfiest shorts and tank top.“He’sallman.”
Noelle groaned and made a gagging noise.They both dissolved into giggles.Having her friend back was such a huge relief, though Noelle’s expression twitched for the umpteenth time when Iris’ phone quacked.She felt her own muscles tense.She probably should have turned it on silent since the group chat was still going strong.
Or maybe she should have changed the notification sound for the group chat.Part of her balked at having to make that change.She should be able to get texts from other friends without Noelle getting mad at her.
Noelle hefted a big sigh.
“Why don’t you invite them over?”Noelle asked.There was an edge to her voice, but she mostly sounded sincere.
“Invite who over?”Iris responded as if she didn’t know who Noelle was talking about.Obviously, she did, but her first response was to pretend otherwise.
Noelle rolled her eyes.
“Your friends who are texting you non-stop.Invite them over.We can all hang out, then you don’t have to keep bouncing back and forth between talking to me and texting to them.”Yup, there was a definite edge to Noelle’s voice.Still, it was a reasonable suggestion.
Yet… Iris didn’t want to.She didn’t want to introduce Noelle to the others.Which was kind of… fucked up.She couldn’t articulate why, just a kind of general ‘I don’t wanna.’Maybe it was the edge to Noelle’s voice, maybe Noelle hadn’t been a fan of Iris’ other friends in the past.On the other hand, Noelle was trying.
Maybe Iris should try as well.
“Okay, if you’re sure.”
“Of course, I’m sure, that’s why I suggested it.Text them.I’m gonna go to the bathroom.”
Blowing out her breath after Noelle left the room, Iris gave herself a little shake and texted the invite to the others.Who probably had better things to do.
As it turned out, they didn’t.Not even Avery, who would be working tonight but not this afternoon.
Woo-hoo!You can’t avoid dick-size questions in person!
Iris snorted.Watch me.
Though she thought it was funny that they were obsessed with finding out how big Law’s penis was, although it made sense.There was a lot of casual nudity at Stronghold and plenty of exhibitionist fucking, but she had never seen him having sex.She’d seen a few of his scenes before he’d been assigned as her Watch Dom, and none of them had ended in sex.
Something that she hadn’t considered until now.
Herscene with him had ended in sex.
It was totally possible he just didn’t have sex in public.Some club members preferred to keep things at home or behind the closed doors of the private rooms with the curtains drawn.
“So, are they coming over?”Noelle asked, coming back out of the bathroom.
“Yup, they’ll be here in about an hour.”Iris glanced at the clock.That would put their arrival time at around two.Maybe she should put out some snacks.
“Great.It’ll be nice to finally meet your friends.”
Was it Iris’ imagination, or had Noelle stressed ‘finally’?It sounded as though she had, but it wasn’t as if she’d wanted to meet them before.Given the fact they’d just made up, Iris decided to let it go.She might have imagined it, and even if she hadn’t, it wasn’t worth pursuing.
“So, how are things going with you and Tyler?”Iris asked, changing the subject.
“Ugh.”Noelle flopped down on the couch.“It’s hard to tell.He’s so hot and cold with me.One day he wants to hang out, then the next day, he wants nothing to do with me.”She made a face.“I’m pretty sure his friends are trying to break us up.I think they want him to date Laura.”
Iris wracked her brain, trying to remember what Noelle had told her about Tyler’s friends.Something seemed very wrong with that statement.
