“Like an obedient puppy,” I mused.
“Whatever works,” Morgan added. “Okay, fuck it, I want more, I’m getting a McDouble. Lexi, w-”
“McChicken!” Lexi reminded her. “You still owe me for last time.”
“I paid that back, but whatever,” Morgan huffed. “And for the cute one?”
Morgan turned to look at me, followed by Crystal and Lexi. I turned to Morgan and smiled. “Didn’t you already ask Lexi?” Morgan and I shared a giggle. “Um, maybe my own McDouble. Thanks, s-sweetheart.”
“Nothing more romantic than getting fat together,” Crystal remarked flatly. Morgan flipped her the bird as she walked off, leaving me with Crystal and Lexi. “Nah, but seriously,” Crystal continued. “You two are really cute together.”
Lexi ignored Crystal and Morgan, and gave me a knowing smirk. She liked it when anyone called her cute. “Thanks, Quinn,” she sang.
“Anytime,” I replied. As annoying as her joking exterior could be, I actually found Lexi surprisingly easy to get along with. She tended to act up in crowds, but if you could engage her in what felt to her like a one-on-one, she actually was a pretty fun person. “So, speaking of, how did you and that blond boy get along at that last party?”
Lexi rolled her big blue eyes. “Sucked,” she answered annoyedly. “He had no idea what he was doing. Went way too fast, way too rough, and was only interested in cumming and going.”
“Coming and going?” I asked.
“C-U-M,” Crystal clarified.
“Oh,” I replied. “Sorry to hear that.”
“So am I,” Lexi grumbled. “Just once I’d like to get a guy that knows how to fuck. Or is at least nice about it. Taylor got Joel, apparently he has one of the biggest dicks in the school.”
I rolled my eyes. Lexi was, if nothing else, Lexi. I sipped away at my unsweetened iced tea as Lexi continued.
“…And Morgan got to have Quinn, who is a fucking gentleman and ate her out even though she never blew him!”
I instantly choked on my tea. It took a good few seconds to clear my throat. Lexi looked a little surprised at my reaction, but Crystal just gave me a ‘here we go’ face. “…What?” I finally asked with a little heat.
“No? Am I wrong?” Lexi asked innocently.
Right on cue, Morgan came back with a tray of food, and I looked up at her. “Who are you telling about our sex life?!” I asked with a little more anger to my voice than intended.
Morgan shot Lexi a look. The normally stubborn Lexi just turned pink and shrunk down in the presence of Morgan. Morgan herself just sighed. “I was tired, I was talking about you, and it slipped out. It was just to Lexi and Crystal. If you want I can try to keep it more private.”
Crystal broke into a smile. “Damn girl, you gave in really easily!” she commented. “Is Quinn some sort of secret super dom or something?”
“Yeah, handcuffs and blindfolds,” I joked as Morgan sat down. “No. We just both know when something upsets the other. I don’t see why a couple talking out things that upset them in a healthy way means she’s whipped or something.”
Crystal rolled her eyes. “Cheesy,” she remarked.
“I dunno,” Lexi softly said, staring longingly at us. Morgan gave me a kiss on the cheek as she handed me my food. “I think it’s kinda sweet. Like, we want a guy that’ll dick us down, but Morgan and Quinn are just vibing as a couple already. No drama.”
Morgan chuckled. “We get our fair share. Remember, Milo’s not here right now for a reason.”
“A reason you won’t even fully tell us,” Crystal added.
Lexi, as usual, was only focusing on her point. “How did you do it?” she asked.
I paused, looking from side to side, realizing that she was asking me. “Huh? How did I do what?”
“Everything. How did you get Morgan, how did you know she was so… like, how did you figure out how to communicate as, like, a couple so quickly?”
I blushed a little and scratched the back of my head. “Honestly, she got me more than I got her,” I confessed. “She came to my work a few times and I-”
“You work? Where?” Lexi asked.
“GameStop. So she came into my work and kept asking about stuff.”
Lexi turned to Morgan and gave her a mischievous grin. “You don’t even like games!”
Morgan simply gave her an all-too-innocent smile in response, then began to eat her food. We all dove in, not saying anything for a bit.
“I just wish I had what you have,” Lexi bitterly mumbled after a bite.
“You’ll get there,” Morgan replied. “Honestly? Maybe you need to slow down. Stop chasing after guys and letting them come to you.”
Lexi scoffed. “Yeah, because guys just fucking love me,” she replied, continuing her bitterness.
“They should!” I decided to weigh in. “I mean, you’re bubbly, you’re not afraid to be yourself, and…” I turned to Morgan. “I assume it’s okay if I compliment her looks?”
Morgan gave me an ‘Oh, Quinn’ smile. “Of course it is,” she replied. “I mean, we’ve discussed stuff like that already.” She gave me a wink with the eye that was facing the booth, away from the two girls.
My smile faded. What was she saying? We definitely didn’t discuss rules for complimenting her friends. The closest thing to that was… She definitely didn’t mean that.
Her smile slowly faded, noticing mine was gone. Quickly, I turned back towards Lexi and lowered my head towards my food. “You’re, uh, y’know… v-very pretty.”
“Ouch,” Lexi replied flatly. “It sounds like it hurt to force yourself to say that one.”
“I was about to say,” Crystal laughed. “If you’re gonna lie, don’t be, like, obvious about it.”
“I’m still nervous telling people they’re pretty,” I lied coolly. “Still a nerd at heart, I guess. You know how the stereotype is with nerds around girls.”
“I thought you hated the stereotypes,” Crystal noted.
“I hate them because they’re true,” I joked. “Sorry, Lexi. I meant it. You’re really pretty, and you’re, y’know, very… attractive. You’d make any guy happy if they just got to know you, but high school guys are too shallow for that. I call you cute a lot, I’m not just saying that.”
“You’re a sweet guy, Quinn,” Lexi replied. “It fucking sucks that you’re taken.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” I replied, turning back and kissing Morgan on the lips like our weird moment didn’t happen. “And hey. Morgan took a chance on me. I wasn’t exactly popular. Who knows, maybe you’d be surprised if you went for a guy outside of your normal friend circle. If he’s cute, go for it. So what if he’s in… choir or something?”
“If he’s in choir, he’s either gay or way too into himself,” Lexi commented.
“Well then don’t go for the choir guys, I guess. I hope you get what I’m saying.”
“Yeah, I do. Thanks, Quinn,” Lexi replied with a slight smile. She was clearly still down in the dumps a little, but that couldn’t be helped. I reached for my burger again, when I felt a vibration in my pocket. I shouldn’t have cared too much, but now that Talyor, Joel, Morgan and I were in a bit of a situation, I made a habit of checking my phone whenever it went off. If Taylor had an update for us, time was of the essence.
It wasn’t from Taylor. It was from Morgan.
I think the only thing that turns me on more than you being assertive is you supporting my friends. I cant wait until were alone ❤
I turned to Morgan and gave her a sheepish, no doubt goofy smile. She smiled back, subtly snaked her hand down to my leg below the table, and sexily squeezed my inner thigh.

It was weird, coming home and not needing to account for my actions. Mother was true to her word, actually putting effort into not caring about where I went and when I’d be back. I adhered to her ground rules, but out of nowhere, she just gave me freedom.
“I’m home!” I bellowed, feeling confident. Crystal drove us home and Morgan and I spent the ride back kissing in the backseat. I wasn’t sure how much PDA we could get away with around her friends, but to be fair, I was given a weird first impression of how much they could take when Morgan gave me a handjob in front of Taylor.
“Ah, Quinn,” Mother commented as I practically danced into the kitchen. “You have fun with Morgan?”
“I did!” I answered chipperly. “We went out with her friends and got food.”
Mother stopped and looked at me. “What kind of food?”
“Fast food,” Kevin’s voice rang from the living room. “McDonald’s, correct me if I’m wrong.”
“You weren’t even there, how would you know?” I shouted back.
“I got a nose for this stuff. I can smell you from here,” he laughed.
“Yeah, well, ditto. Take a shower,” I grumbled. I turned back to Mother, ready for it.
“Do you know the kind of food they serve you at a place like McDonald?” she began. By the time she was finished talking, the sun was visibly closer to setting. At the very least Kevin was kind enough to jump in and debunk her points when she mentioned the pink slime. “Besides,” she finished, “you always say the food here is better anyway.”
“I do, and it is!” I acknowledged. “It’s more like… a social contract.”
“A what?”
“A social contract,” I repeated in Mandarin. “If I’m there they want me to eat the food there.”
“Oh,” she said simply. “Seems dumb. They didn’t make the food, some pimply minimum wage-earner did. Peh.” She walked off as if the conversation was over. That was as close as it ever came to understanding with Mother.
With her out of the way, I walked over to the living room couch and sat down. “You’re an asshole,” I began with a grin.
“My day? Oh, you know. This and that,” he replied smugly. I watched him play his video game for a while until my phone vibrated with a text from Lexi. I began talking to her more than him.
I stopped when I heard him chuckling. “You still hold your phone up to your face when you text, like a nerd,” he pointed out.
“I am a nerd,” I countered.
“You certainly took my advice to heart for someone who hated it so much,” he mused, still looking at my phone. “You put yourself out there and now you’ve fully integrated yourself into Taylor’s group.”
“It’s kind of a non-option when you’re dating one of them,” I replied.
He shook his head, partly at me, partly at his character’s untimely demise. “The things you think of as non-optional are things their boyfriends never even consider,” Kevin coolly replied. “It’s why they like you and actually text you and shit.”
Great story! And..great story telling!
