chapter twenty two

JOEL entered the house after making sure no one was following him. "About time," Jade sighed, walking out of the kitchen.

"I needed to get away from the boys, what's up?" he asked the girl. "I still can't find him," she sighed, sitting on the couch.

"He knocked you up and just dissapeared?" he asked again and the girl shrugged. "Joel," the girl called and he hummed in response.

"Why are you helping me?" she asked, turning to look at his face. "I'm your brother, of course I'd help you," he shot her a soft smile.

"I still feel like we should tell the others," she said again. "We should, just not yet," Joel told her. "But we need to make sure no one gets the wrong idea about us," she reminded him and he nodded.

"Especially not Iris," he muttered. Jade couldn't help but smile, and Joel noticed. "What?" he chuckled. "You love her," she said to him.

"And it's not a bad thing to be in love," she added. "Even if I am she isn't," he said with a sigh before plopping on the couch next to the girl.

"I wouldn't bet on that," she shrugged. "Why?" he asked. "She came to me this morning, and asked for a certain 'drug'," she told him, turning to look at him as he raised his eyebrows.

"What else could that be for?" she smirked. "Are you serious?" he questioned and the brunette nodded. "I mean as far as I know she isn't seeing anyone else right now," Jade stated and she was right.

"C'mon, you guys are always holding back from each other. What's possibly stopping you now? Just get it," she nudged him and he chuckled.

"Could that be why she wanted to meet up today?" he questioned himself softly but Jade heard him. "Oh, okay, you better go," she said as she pushed him off the couch.

"Fine, fine. Take care of yourself," he said as he ruffled the girl's hair. "Bye!" she shouted as she pushed him away and he left her house.

Iris tapped the small folded paper in her hand. Inside was the 'drug', and she wanted to take it, because she felt that she found someone she'd actually want to risk it for.

Joel was supposed to arrive any minute now, so she quickly poured the powder into her drink, gulping it all down. She felt a little tingle and turned to look at the watch.

It was taking effect, and she had until dawn. Better make it worth it.

Her doorbell rang and the girl quickly made her way to the front door. "Joel, hey," she smiled. "Hi," he smiled at the sight of her.

She let him in and brought him up to her wing, or more specifically her bedroom. Joel noticed an empty wrapping on her nightstand, the one that Jade would use to keep the 'drugs' in.

"So, why'd you call?" he asked, taking a seat on her bed, acting as if he had no idea. "Well, I'm home alone and I wanted some company," the girl shrugged, leaning on the dressing table as she faced him.

She couldn't help but scan him, head to toe as she bit her inner lip. Fuck it, she thought as she made her way in front of him. "I have until dawn," she said to him as she stood in between his legs, her hands on her shoulders.

"Are you sure it works?" he asked, his hands gripping onto her waist. Iris shrugged, "If it doesn't it better be worth it," she said before attacking his lips.

They've both been waiting for this, and now the time has come.

They had each other, and he kept her up all night, giving her the quick holiday she deserved.
