Borrowed Time Part 2

Chapter 239

That was between her and two other people.

That was it.

"I would kill myself." She sighed, her voice muffled by her hands as Becky chuckled, rubbing her hand up and down her back.

"I know, that's why I would never do it." Good. She looked at Becky through the slats in fingers to see an expectant expression on her face... Okay, so she... Actually wanted an answer from her, alright. "But..." Juliette sighed, lifting her head as she looked her in the eyes.

"Yes. We hooked up." Look away. "Twice."

"Oh my God." Not that... Anything but that... She didn't wanna know what that even meant. "Carly owes me ten bucks." Becky said, and Juliette frowned, shaking her head as she smacked Becky's leg softly, giving her a warning look.

The next one, if she had the heart to cause Becky any kind of harm, could be a lot harder. Granted, she didn't have the heart to really do that, so it probably wouldn't be.

But she could figure it out.

She had it in her somewhere.

"Oi. None of that." She instructed, and Becky looked at her, clearly confused by what she'd just said, but she was pretty sure that she was being more than clear right now - it was obvious. She was not to be gambled against or for.

"None of what?" The love life gambling.

Clearly.

C'mon now.

"Gambling on my love life." Juliette said, remembering when Shelby and Micheal had done a very similar thing - harmless, and it didn't really bother her, but she wanted to nip it in the bud before it started to, because she knew there was always the chance for it to flip into something that caused actual harm to her psyche, and no one wanted that.

Becky frowned, nudging her lightly with her shoulder.

"But it's fun. And it's easy money, you're very predictable-." Juliette cut her off and sighed, leaning her head against the wall... Was it really that predictable that she'd want to hook up with Penny? What about her said that? How did people know that?

"Shut up." She had to flip this, that was the only way to get out of any of it. "As if you wouldn't be enticed?" She made sure to phrase that as a question as she looked over to Becky, who nodded, leaning closer.

"May I be frank?" That was exactly what she'd asked for.

Frankness.

Would she come to regret it?

Probably.

"You may." She said, and Becky grinned, making Juliette regret what she said as she scooted closer, clearing her throat with her hands folded in her lap.

Uh oh.

"Excellent." She cleared her throat, straightening up like she was about to say something incredibly life changing... Juliette was interested, that was for sure. She wanted to know what was going to be said, so if this was all to draw her in, it was working. "If I was single or poly and Penelope Elmwood came up to me and said to spread my legs I would be finding new levels of hip mobility." Juliette gasped, covering her mouth with her hand as she looked at Becky with wide eyes. Becky's expression showed nothing but pride as she flicked some hair over her shoulder.

Damn.

That had been... She had not expected that out of her... Well, she was pretty sure that that order of words wouldn't be expected out of anyone.
