Lover

The next morning came around and before I even knew It, I was lying in bed with the soft noises of the outside world coming in through the window.  I looked over at the rep snoring softly, sprawled out next to me in a deep sleep. I stretched and yawned before carefully sliding out of bed to not wake her and started to get dressed.

Around an hour later I was sitting at the table with rep next to me, scrolling in her phone. I was busy chatting away to 1989 who was sitting opposite me and eating breakfast.

'-and that's why I think I want to get another cat! Can you imagine 3 perfect balls of fluff rolling around together?'

'Well, I don't know, I don't think Meredith would roll around with two other cats' 1989 replied, while biting into a piece of toast.

'I'm sure should be fine, besides who doesn't love kittens? What do you think rep, can we get another cat?'

'Hmm? Oh yeah definitely' she mumbled back, still looking at her phone.

'Alright come on turn it off babe we're talking'.

Rep sighed and put her phone face down on the bench.

'What are talking about?'

'Well, mostly cats but maybe something else? Ooh! Do you think I could get a rabbit?'

'What would you do with a rabbit?' Asked rep.

I shrugged 'Cuddle it?'

'I can cuddle you!'

'Oh, I know, but maybe a bunny could do it better?'

I flashed her a tiny smirk. I could tell she was resisting the urge to grab me and adore me and drown me in affection but 1989's presence was making her feel reluctant.

I shrugged at her and turned away slightly, hardly suppressing my giggle as I saw her jaw drop in mock betrayal and shock.

Before she could answer, however, a knock sounded at the front door. 

Rep jumped so high it scared me slightly and I went to put my hand on her thigh.

'Are you alright?'

'I'll get the door!'

Rep got up and raced out of the kitchen towards the front door.

I flashed a look at 1989 who was watching the scene unfold with wide eyes. I shrugged at her got up and walked towards the door, 1989 close behind.

I got to the door as rep swung it open. Standing in the doorway was a girl who looked almost exactly the same as rep, but with bleached hair.

The strange girl went to open her mouth to talk but rep got there first, her words sounding more like a furious snarl than anything else.

'What the fuck are doing, showing up here' she growled, the anger in her voice scared me and I was confused.

'Rep what's going on?' I asked, when she heard my voice rep grabbed my hand and pulled me close to her.

'I told you; I need a place to stay, I even texted you in advance' the girl said.

'You're not welcome here, and I don't want you in my house'. 

'Rep, explain' I demanded, more seriously now.

'This is Karma, my old sister' she replied, not taking her eyes off of the girl called Karma.

'Hey beautiful, what's your name?' Karma asked, suddenly turning to me.

'Do not speak to my girlfriend like that'.

'Sorry, sorry, but how was I to know? You haven't contacted me for years!'

'You bitch what did you expect? A warm welcome from the person you hurt your whole life?'

'Hold on, what?' I spat suddenly, pushing my way forward.

'I need you to forgive me, sister, I was jealous, and the anger was taking over me'.

'It's going to take more than an apology for me to forgive you, Karma'.

'Please, reputation, I have nowhere else to go, and if you refuse or try anything you know what will happen'.

Rep's face dropped slightly, and I squeezed her hand.

'Fine. You can stay here until you find somewhere to go but I swear if you lay one finger on anyone, I will kill you'.

Karma nodded and rep moved back to let her in the front door.

After a few moments of rep briskly showing Karma the basics of the house and the spare room, she pulled me by my hand up to her bedroom.

Once we were sat on her bed, I started to gently talk to her.

'Are you alright baby? How come you never told me you had a sister?' 

'I'm sorry Love, I was ashamed and embarrassed. I didn't want anyone to know about her, so I just never brought her up'.

I sighed and placed my hand on her thigh reassuringly.

'Did- did she actually hurt you?'

Rep looked down and reluctantly lifted up her shirt before answering. There were mild scars along her stomach and when I saw them my breath caught.
'Oh my god, rep I'm so sorry' I said, picking up her hand.

'Yeah, she would hurt me for years. Her chosen weapon was always a knife, as you can see. I don't know why she did it to this day, I don't even know why I let her in the house! What if she hurts someone, what if she hurts you'.

'Hey, rep, look at me'.

I said, tilting her chin towards me gently.

'I'm okay, I can look after myself and I promise I will. It will be ok'.

Rep sighed and smiled a little at me before kissing the top of my hand.

'Thank you, Love, I don't know what I'd do without you'.

I smiled before getting up and placing myself on rep's lap, my legs around her waist in a position I was so comfortable in.

I began to kiss her neck in little pecks, leaving red smudges on her skin. I wrapped my arms around her neck and deepened my kisses affectionately, making rep tilt her head back slightly, a smile playing on her face the whole time.

After a while of making out quietly, I started to yawn softly and just rested my head in the crook of rep's neck happily, swaying slightly as we shared the peaceful moment.
