You + Me [Shameless]

Going Gone [5x07]

A/N: Hey babes! I know, I know, it's been forever. This story is not abandoned, it will always eventually be updated, etc., etc.

The title for this chapter is from Going Gone by Jade Bird, which I put on my You + Me playlist while writing this chapter. Check out the playlist on Spotify, link in my bio.

This one's more of a reader and Mandy centered chapter since I have other things in store for Lip at the moment. 😏

Warnings for domestic violence.

Here's the new chapter! Enjoy, my loves!

I snuggled closer to Lip, my head resting on his rising and falling chest while we slept. The sound of three sharp knocks against the door woke us both.

"Go away!" Lip shouted, his voice commanding but still filled with sleep.

A muffled voice came from the other side of the door, "Lip, come on, I'm locked out."

"Look, I'm not on duty until seven, all right?" He nuzzled his face into my hair and went back to his calm breathing.

"Lip, open the door." This boy was relentless.

"Jesus fuck. Coming," Lip sighed before heaving himself over the side of the bed. He looked over and gently smacked my panty-clad ass as I hugged the pillow in his place and gave him a smirk. He went to open the door.

"Dude, again?"

"Sorry," I peeked my eyes open to see Lip talking to a skinny, naked kid. He looked over Lip's shoulder, I suddenly felt extremely violated. "Oh, who's the rump with the hump in there with you?"

Lip socked the guy in the shoulder, "That's my girlfriend, you prick, get your fucking eyes offa her." Lip looked back once at me before closing the door.

I glanced at my boyfriend as he walked back into the room less than a minute later.

"So, did my milkshake bring all the freshman boys to the yard, or what?" I snickered with a raised eyebrow.

He ignored me with an eye roll and threw my pants that landed on the floor last night at me. "You're gonna be late, better hit the road."

"Indy will still be there in a couple of hours, Phillip," I kicked the jeans off the bed and scooched over, trying to get him back into bed.

"Well, if you insist," he rubbed his hands together and started to get under the covers before a brazen knock interrupted us once more.

"Lip! Mike threw my textbook out a window! You gotta take his beer away, man."

I chuckled into the duvet, a smile lingering on my lips.

"Seven A.M.! Lip shouted at the door as he threw the covers over his head, beginning his descent to the favorite place to put his tongue.

The student outside shouted once more, "Lip! Please!"

Lip sighed, throwing the sheet off once move. "You better get to Indy."

I walked into the house, loudly making my presence known. The dogs ran up to me, excited to see me since I spent the night in Lip's dorm, but the rest of the house was quiet. Of course it was, Dad was at work.

It's not like I've been spending all if my time with Lip at his school, it's just... More secluded. We have privacy there. Privacy, a lumpy mattress, and all the beer he can confiscate. It was like living in a tiny studio together, without a kitchen or private bathroom, but still. There was something almost romantic about it. But I didn't spend more than a couple nights a week there, I still had my own job and life to get on with. If I would ever allow it.
