"No, she would never do that."
"Are you sure?" Stiles asked again.
"I'm going to find that out." Stephen thought for a second before heading to the kitchen.
**************
"Fred, i don't want us doing this. It's not right." I tell him.
"Who cares? You love it don't you?"
"What the hell?" Stephen said as he entered the kitchen, leaving his eyes off his phone.
One minute ago
"I don't want us doing this. It's not right. Stop it. I can't believe I'm so stupid. I don't want to be a cheat like you. I can't believe you treat your friend like this." I felt disgusted.
"What's on with you. I thought you were still the Sharon I knew."
"Well, I've changed and I think you should do that too. Why am I always stupid at times?"
"Sharon, stop lying to yourself. You love double dating. He won't know." He said, wrapping his arms around me softly.
"Sharon!" Stephen entered, his eyes still on his phone. I quickly pushed Fred but the dish broke in my hands cause I was in shock.
"What the hell?" Stephen saw me picking the broken pieces.
"I'm sorry! I'm so... so sorry. I didn't mean to. You weren't meant to see what you saw. I don't know what came over me." I fidgeted. I wasn't sure if he saw Fred touching me closely.
"What are you saying Sharon. Is the stupid plate more important? Look, you have a cut." He stopped me from picking the broken dishes.
"It's okay, Steph." I tell him
"It's not. Stay here. Let me get the first aid kit from my room. Fred are you just gonna stand there like a dummy? My girl is hurt!"
"I can see can't I?" He felt a little jealous, seeing how Stephen cared so much for me.
Stephen shook his head and went to his room.
"Babe, should I lick the blood out for you?" Fred said on his knees with me, picking the broken pieces carefully.
This jerk likes talking sweet. I hate sweet guys like him.
"Ha, like you would. I don't even want you to." I gave a fake laugh.
"Looking at you closely reminds me of old times." He said caressing my cheeks. I pulled his hands away from my face
"Looking at you reminds me of the times you cheated. Worst part was fucking a girl in my own bedroom!"
"I told you I was drunk."
"I saw the fun you were having. Didn't seem like it."
"Shar...." He tried to interrupt but I didn't let him. I was angry with the fact that he thinks he could have his way at me the second time.
"I hate you. I hate you for the pain you caused me those times, Fred."
"It wasn't my fault. You won't let me to kiss you, sleep with you. How did you expect a guy like me to cope? Seriously, you were boring then."
Ouch. That hurt.
Stephen came in and treated my wounds. Fred went back to the living room.
"You should get some rest Sharon. I didn't say you should play the role of a maid. I don't treat girls that way."
"Thanks." I gave him a light kiss.
He accompanied me to his room to lay down a bit. I was asleep when his friends came in.
"Guys, why didn't you wait for me outside?" Stephen wondered why they all came inside to see him.
"Dude, I don't understand you. Are you forgetting the plan?" Nick said, with his right hand covering his face.
They were whispering so I couldn't hear them clearly but I knew they were planning something. What are they planning? Stephen is always hiding something.
"What the hell is wrong with you? You're forgetting your part." Stiles said, with his hands almost covering his face.
I need to find out what they are hiding whether I like it or not.
Next morning
The sunrays reflected on my face as I gently opened them. I turned to the other side of the bed and saw stephen watching me. He was actually watching me sleep!
"Here, have some tea." He said smiling.
"Babe, you need to stop waking up before me."
"I know I have a lazy girlfriend so I don't mind." He smiles.
"I'm not lazy." I said smiling. Maybe I'm a little lazy. A little bit.
Back to their plan. I need to play along like I know something.
"Stephen, we need to talk."
"About what?" He asked curiously.
I took a deep breath.
"Stephen, how could you?! How could you do that to me?!"
"What did I do?!" He panicked.
Oh, yeah. He's hiding something.
"How could you have a plan at my back? I mean how could you lie to me?" I said with my heart racing. Am I getting it?
"Oh my gosh! You knew about the plan! Sharon I'm sorry!"
"Sorry? Why are you sorry?" I'm not really good at acting.
"The plan.... You knew the plan all along and you....."
"Yeah, the plan....I... Know." I stammered.
"Wait, you said you knew?"
"Right, I..know. of course. Pftt."
"What was it about?"
"You know.....the plan. Why are you even asking me? You hurt me and you're standing here asking me a dumb question."
Stephen's pov
Hmm... She's acting like she knows. Gosh! I didn't know that girls were the actual devil. All I need to do is to play along with the her. Thank God she doesn't know the real plan.
"So... you overheard last night?"
"Hmm..maybe."
"Ok then, there's no need to beat around the bush. We were planning a birthday party for you." He chuckled.
Ooh! So it was that. Just a birthday.
"But it's three months away."
"Yeah."
"Plus, I hate celebrating my birthday. I mean, it's not like I did but they made me to.
