Chapter One: Deception


Mark’s POV
 

Mimi Marquez has been coming over a lot these days and I’ve found myself staring, probably more then I should. She’s done so much for Roger in such a short time, I haven’t seen him smile this much in a long time.

They don’t have sex quite as much as Roger did when he was with April, which is good....for me anyway. I’d rather not hear it. Mimi’s orgasms sound like she’s crying, like she’s in terrible pain so it’s nice to be able to sleep peacefully at night.

Unfortunately, tonight isn’t one of those nights.

I had moved out of my room and onto the couch in vain attempt to muffle their noises with cushions when I heard Roger’s door open. I could barely see the figure scamper out of the room and into the kitchen. I stood and immediately I knew it was Mimi opening the fridge. I gasped. The light from the fridge confirmed my worst fears.

She was in nothing but a pair of black fish-net panties. Her brown curls of hair were a curtain around her face, blocking her view of me.

I couldn’t pull my eyes away from her even though I knew I should have. The glow from the fridge flattered her tanned, smooth skin, her round full breasts. The darkened nipples were hidden from me by her arms as her brown eyes searched for something suitable to drink after hours of sex. Knowing she and Roger’s drinking habits, it was most likely alcoholic.

She shut the door.

I could have moved out of her sight. I should have walked away from her. She was Roger’s girlfriend after all and I should have stopped looking at her that way. But I didn’t.

“Mark!” Mimi gasped, covering herself suddenly.

I saw everything. Even in the shadows I saw everything. Her dark pink nipples, her lovely throat, the way her long hair fell down her shoulders. I saw her perfect curves and the dark curls between her legs, there was no wonder in my mind how she had so much money for drugs. But her reaction to my being there made me smile. Imagine, the bad girl stripper being shy. I could hear a smile in her voice, it was too dark to see but I was sure she was blushing.

“I thought you were asleep,” she said. “Did we keep you up?”

“No,” I lied.

Mimi stepped towards the living room, I moved out of her way but to my surprise she stopped right in front of me, “Mark.....” She said my name softly, even in the darkness I could see her face. Her eyes gazing deeply into mine, her full lips looked almost pouting. Her arms covered her breasts, innocently but incredibly sexy at the same time. Her body looked as if it could be etched in stone, a goddess, an angel.

God, Roger didn’t know how lucky he was. I couldn’t control my actions, at least that is how it seemed to me. My hand went to touch her face but I never touched her skin. Yet I could feel the heat from her body, so close to me. I pushed my lips against hers no more then a matter of seconds.

“Mimi!”

Roger. I thought I was going to pass out, once I turned around I knew I would see Roger standing there hurt and very very pissed off.

Mimi gasped, “It’s okay!”

I turned to see nothing more then an empty room.

“Mimi, forget the beer, just come back to bed,” Roger was calling for her from the bedroom. He hadn’t seen us. Thank god!

Mimi was trembling. She looked at me, “W-Well......goodnight, Mark.”

“Goodnight, Mimi,” I said quietly as I watched her go to the bedroom.

The Next Morning - still Mark’s POV

Capn’ Crunch has never tasted as good as it did that morning. Mimi had left for work without saying a word about last night. Roger hadn’t tried to kill me. Life was good.

I heard footsteps behind me, the flick of a lighter, Roger was awake. He came into the kitchen, the scent of Marlboro reds came with him, strong filling my nose.

“Morning,” he said going for the Capn’ Crunch box he reached his hand in the box and took out a hand full of crunch berries.

“Good morning,” I said taking another bite of cereal.

He looked at me and set the box back on the table. “Mimi told me about what happened last night.”

My heart stopped. Oh shit! Mimi you idiot! I can’t believe you! How could you do this to me!? I dropped my spoon, “Roger, I swear I didn’t mean to. I never would have!” I was lying I enjoyed our secret kiss, I loved seeing her body in the darkness.

Roger laughed.

Oh shit he’s going to fucking kill me! He’s laughing!

“Relax, Mark, it’s fine. Mimi’s over you walking in on her in the bathroom.”

What?! “Sh-she is?” I could breathe again. He didn’t know. We were safe. I was safe.

He laughed again, “Sure, just don’t make a habit of it.” Roger patted my shoulder and grabbed his leather jacket off the couch, “I’m going to visit Angel and Collins, you wanna go?”

I smiled, life was still good. “Sure.”
