Chapter Text
“cassie said i can fuck whoever i want!”
lexi slurs out for the eighth time. maddy doesn’t have the heart to dump her dear friend’s little sister just anywhere, so she took lexi home.
granted, she was only a little bit less wasted. she could still walk them to the howard’s and up the stairs.
“it’d be fucking weird.” maddy spits out. it’s funny, really. how strongly lexi is coming onto her. sure, lexi’s eyes used to wander, but never did maddy think lexi wanted her. lexi didn’t seem to be the type who wanted anyone, (except rue), especially not like this. and especially not enough to make a move. never did maddy think lexi would escape her passive tendencies to make a move.
“but cassie!” lexi starts. she stops when maddy lays her down onto her bed; she stares, doesn’t take her eyes off of maddy. and it feels so raw.
maddy hates it. she hopes to god lexi can’t see the layers she is peeling back with the power of her staring alone. it’s embarrassing. no one pays attention to her like that, (everyone pays attention to her, but not how lexi does), and it makes her stop breathing for a second.
“not while we are drunk off our asses.” maddy snaps back. not like she means anything by it. it’s supposed to be something to appease lexi, to put her to sleep. it’s not a promise.
so what if she had her prettiest lingerie on that night? hoping she might go home with someone? she might’ve been home with someone, but she wasn’t going to get all that tonight. and that was fine, (fine if lexi would just go to fucking sleep).
“so does that mean when i wake up?”
“sleep.” maddy says one last time. she presses a kiss to lexi’s temple too. she’s not sure where it comes from, but it feels fine. natural. almost good.
