Friends to Research

A/N: As usual, I would recommend putting the video on loop.

   

Much to both of their relief, Anita did leave after about another thirty minutes. Even sooner would've been better, but Anita herself was in no rush, so she went at her usual pace. (F/n) just hoped that Anita wouldn't pick her up some swimsuit and try to get her into it tomorrow despite their conversation from earlier. Otherwise, she really would go pick up a one-piece. In fact, she was tempted to still, but she didn't want to waste time shopping when Lee and she had researching to do. Besides, she was going to wear shorts and a jacket over the swimsuit. Hopefully, she wouldn't be forced to swim. Knowing Anita, though ... Mentally, she groaned. Tomorrow was going to be terrible.


Even though she didn't groan audibly, her mental state was made clear by her physical one. (F/n) was lying face down on her bed, and her head was pressed into one of her pillows. Her laptop already was loaded up and on social media, but she only just had loaded up the picture from last night and Kaleb's page. That was when the thoughts of tomorrow again pestered her and caused her to collapse into her pillow from the annoyance of the upcoming pool 'date.'


Only did she look up again when something hit her on the head. It was light and pointy. A small smile touched her lips, and she grabbed the paper airplane. Don't stay long at the pool and come back here. I'll make you a drink, and we can watch a movie if you'd like. Now, her smile grew. That sounded wonderful. Her (e/c) optics glanced over to Lee who was leaning against the doorframe. She had been so vexed by the thought of tomorrow that she hadn't even heard his creaking limbs.


"I'd like that a lot." He nodded his head in response and walked into the room before he joined her on the bed. Lee placed the laptop on his lap, and he had learned how to make one of the boxes on the screen smaller so that he could see the other box since (f/n) had shown him on one of the previous nights. Minimizing certainly made it easier to do searching.


Rolling over onto her left side, she leaned against her pillow and observed Lee scrolling through Kaleb's friends to look for pictures of the other people in that club image. So far, no one popped up, but Kaleb did have a lot of friends. "Should we also look at their main pages again?" Lee glanced to her. "They know that I accepted their friend requests. Maybe, they added new stuff." She huffed a little. "Though, I doubt that it'd be anything useful."


It won't take long. I'll check. Then, we'll return to this. She nodded her head before she rested it back on the pillow. Lee opened two new tabs and loaded up both men's post history that was available to them. He checked Kaleb's first. Nothing was mentioned, except that he was going to the pool with Anita and some of their friends. Kaleb did use 'friends' instead of just the singular so that was a slight change even if it was vague information.


As for Tristan, his status had changed from single to taken, and he had posted about the pool too. He mentioned, though, that he was going with his girlfriend and some of his friends. So, he had been waiting for her to accept his friend request. How lovely. No one, at least from what they could see, asked about the status change, and she wondered if anyone had asked if they had done so through private messages.


Seems like he'll be mentioning you from now on. Slowly, she nodded. But since he was talking about her now, she worried that he might start wanting to take pictures and post them. Not to mention talk about what they were doing together and such. It'd make things a hassle, especially since she'd be expected to do the same thing too. He'd start to wonder why she hadn't changed her status or posted, and she didn't know how long the excuse of wanting to keep things private would last.


"Yeah, that only makes me dread tomorrow more." She groaned and turned her head into the pillow. With a muffled voice, she requested, "Let's go back to looking up Kaleb's friends. We got the information on their new posts." Feeling a hand rest on her head, she peered up to notice Lee eyes on her. His fingers massaged the top of her head gently, and she gave him a small smile. "Thanks. I'll keep what you wrote to me in mind. I'm looking forward to that drink."


Chuckling a little, Lee nodded and focused back on the screen. He was to, especially since that meant that she'd no longer be with Tristan. Hopefully, they wouldn't be at the pool for more than an hour or two. After some more time, he paused and glanced between the club image and one of the profile pictures on Kaleb's account. (F/n) sat up and leaned against him to get a better look at the screen. Not that he minded.


"That's one of them," she muttered, a smile touching her lips. "We got one." She grinned up to him. "Good job, Lee." At her praise, he smiled, but she only could see him nod his head. "That's the other girl who was sitting by Kaleb, the one he wasn't kissing."


Leaning her back against the headboard, (f/n) took the laptop, but she was sitting right next to Lee, so he easily could view the screen as well. She began scrolling through posts. Her access was restricted due to her not being a friend, but she hoped that the girl would be careless. Lee watched the screen, but he also occasionally would turn his gaze onto (f/n).


This time around, she slightly was biting her lip, and her brows were furrowed. Her (e/c) eyes scanned the screen quickly and carefully to be as efficient and effective as possible. (F/n) still had on some of her work attire: black pants, black belt and navy blue blouse. She had undone the top two bottoms of her blouse, and her hair was now messy from lying on the bed. Honestly, it made the urge to kiss her all the stronger, but he withheld in case the action was still too soon even though they had shared details they had been hesitant about before with each other. Instead, he gently wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close.


Almost immediately, (f/n) paused. She peered down before she averted her eyes to Lee, who met her stare. Admittedly, it did feel nice to have his arm around her. He didn't write anything to her, and she had a feeling that he just wanted to see her reaction. A quiet sigh parted from her lips before she looked away from him. Lee thought that she was going to pull away, but she leaned back into him so that she was now sitting at an angle and against him rather than the headboard. His heartbeat would've picked up had he one, and he smiled.


Both of his arms wrapped her waist, and she only leaned into him more. He almost was tempted to seat her on his lap, but he resisted the urge since she seemed comfortable and didn't make a motion to climb onto his lap. If she wanted to, though, he wouldn't stop her. As time continued pass, though, he did write to her a note. Do you need anything? You haven't had dinner, and you haven't drunk anything for awhile.


"I'm fine. In a little bit maybe," she responded, her eyes remaining on the screen. "I just want to finish looking through this one." Lee nodded in understanding and rested his chin on her left shoulder. She didn't mind and continued the search. So far, the older posts weren't providing anything either. Eventually, she did find something. Against Lee, she sat up a bit straighter.


Before them was another image. It was of the woman and Kaleb kissing. Below the post was written a short sentence. Finally got a taste! There was a winky face afterwards. The image remained too old to convince Anita, but (f/n) loaded up the response to the picture, and the same woman had replied to her own image. Can't wait for it to happen again. That post was dated around the same time of the club, but there was a like on it. (F/n) smirked. Kaleb had left that like, and it was a dated a year after. It was before Anita and he got together again recently, but it might indicate that he enjoyed returning to his old interests. Perhaps, she could find a more recent one.


He's such a scumbag. It's disgusting. (F/n) nodded and took a screenshot of the image and response with the like. She added it to the file with the club picture. Before she moved onto another friend from the club picture, she finished scrolling through the woman's page but didn't come up with anything else. Finished with the posts, she saw Lee place a note on her lap. But, did you want me to get you something now?


"Yeah, thanks." She took the laptop off of her lap and pulled away from Lee. He removed his arms and got up while she stretched. "I'll go get a quick shower. I'll just have one of the leftover sandwiches. One of the ham ones. Scarlett made those."


Okay. Tomorrow, though, I'll make you something, not just the drink. Smiling, she nodded and thanked him again before she went to grab some undergarments and pajamas. Lee left the room after he passed her another note. I'll bring the sandwich up here. After she gave him another nod, she watched him close the door, and a small smile touched her lips. He really was kind to her. Even after the door closed, the smile remained until she caught herself just staring off.


Blinking, she felt her cheeks heat up a little. She shook her head until her eyes fell on her waist. His arms had been wrapped around her there, and she had let them. Being in his arms did feel nice. There had been other occasions where he had held her and she him, and they all brought her comfort. Not to mention that she did accept his past and what he had done. A quiet chuckle parted from her lips, and she turned towards her bathroom. The future really might hold something more for them than just being friends.
