                    ❛   GOOD BOYS DON'T KISS
                    AND                          TELL !   ❜

          𝘼𝙉 𝗢𝗕𝗡𝗢𝗫𝗜𝗢𝗨𝗦 𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗧𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗪𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗢𝗙𝗙, 𝗘𝗠𝗜𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗢𝗨𝗚𝗛 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗢𝗣𝗛𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗗𝗢𝗥𝗠 𝗥𝗢𝗢𝗠. Middle of the day sunlight peeked through the uncovered window. Continuously, the girly and becoming more obnoxious ringtone rung, hitting every corner of the somewhat cluttered antique room. The two bodies cuddled up in the small dorm bed, rustling while the continuation of the ringtone ... continued. The female was the first to crack open her eyes, squinting at the amount of bright sunlight got in the line of her sight. She cleared her throat, gulping the little bit of saliva she had in her mouth directly after — disrupting the person behind her a bit. Her chest clung onto the inside of the tight, sheer tank top as she began to remember where she was and who she was with.

She ran her dry tongue over the top row of her teeth, also taking the chance to lick over her naked lips. She could tell the lipstick had been rubbed off, almost to the point where it's all gone. Probably rubbed all over the pillow underneath her head.

Effie looked behind her, seeing only the dark and light brown curls that dipped in the crook of her neck. She could feel the strong arm wrapped around her waist, the hand connecting to it rested underneath the trim of the tank top with little to no movement. Every second or two, the thumb would brush against her soft tummy skin. Effie heard another ding go off, indicating a notification coming from her flip phone. She reached over slowly, trying not to disturb the person that laid behind her, picking up her phone with her fingertips. Unfortunately, she didn't see any of her lip balm or anything to hydrate her lips for the time being. Bringing the phone back towards her face, Effie flipped the top up to uncover who and what was interrupting her sleep this early in the morning.

The time in the top corner of the phone apparently read 02:19. In the afternoon.

And she had about 10 missed calls from Felix Catton and a couple of unread messages from him. And a number of other people. Taking a deep breath in and pushing it out, Effie mumbled a low, "Shit."

She flipped the top of her phone back down, going to pick up the tanned arm that was wrapped around her as he fluttered with the light movement. He turned around, facing his not-so-filled bookcase. She threw her legs over the edge of the bed, immediately getting hit with the feeling of dizziness and starvation. Going to swallow again, making her mouth bone dry. Looking over herself, she was only dressed in her black lacey underwear and a tight tank top — and copious amounts of smeared rainbow glitter. Her breasts swinging side to side in the shirt, she reached up to rub her tired face, nipples hardening at the nippy air. She could tell that she didn't go to sleep with any protection on her hair or take a shower before she laid down in the bed. Looking over the floor, Effie spotted her torn off clothing and removed shoes.

Lightly groaning in his sleep and rolling back over to where his face would be seen again, the guy caught Effie's attention once more unknowingly. She sent him a little smile his way, knowing that he couldn't see or know that she was doing so.

Farleigh Start.

His curly afro messy and unkempt as the hairs stuck to his face. He eventually began moving his arm around the empty area Effie once laid in, noticing that she wasn't lying down anymore. He felt her push off the bed before he softly grabbed her wrist, stopping her from going any further and knotted his eyebrows together, his eyes still closed. "Where are you going?"

Farleigh hummed, clearing his throat a bit after speaking and hearing his deep morning voice boom through the room. A little bit of glitter rubbed over his bare cheek as well.

"Good morning to you too," Effie spoke, watching his stretch out to rub his eyes. "Felix has been calling me. He probably knows I'm here now."

He pulled her nearly naked body towards him again, bringing her closer to snuggle and try to head back to sleep. "We don't need to listen to him. Let's go back to sleep."

Farleigh somehow managed to sit Effie on top of him, pushing her back down against his chest, wrapping his long arms around her waist. A long sigh emitted from his nose, his chest heaving down. "You know we cannot do that, Far. He'll be knocking down your door if we don't get up. Do you have an extra toothbrush?"

"Ugh. Your brute can leave us alone to sleep for at least another hour." Farleigh whined while feeling Effie push away from him with a girly chuckle. She then threw her legs over the edge of the bed again, finally touching the cold ground with her feet. Farleigh cracked open his eyes, looking over Effie's body, stopping at the way her ass appeared in her silk panties — huffing annoyingly. "There's an extra one under the sink."

"My "brute" is seriously going to have a fit seeing us half naked in the bed together." Effie gently walked towards the bathroom to start to brush her teeth in the silence.

Farleigh looked around and shrugged, "So. It's not like we did anything, Fi."

The two came in pretty drunk the night before, only remembering ripping off their clothes and getting into bed under the covers. As the party went on, Effie and Farleigh were seen together through the whole event taking shots and dancing with each other. "Who knows? We were full of Dry Gin, who's to say we didn't exchange spit."

Some random student conjured up an idea to throw another party for the juniors as the school term begun. Another random party that other students heard about, so it was basic full the minute it started. Farleigh picked up Effie to go ahead because Felix said he had someone to do before he could go anywhere. The night went on, the drinks got stronger and the students got drunker. Felix finally arrived but not empty handed — he sported Annabelle on his arm like a prize. Catching Effie's attention, she thought it was a good idea to stick with Farleigh.

Effie then came walking back towards the bed with a low bounce in her step. Farleigh sat up, squirming towards the edge of the bed as he laid his legs open — pulling Effie in between his open thighs. Sending his hands up her thighs, sneaking his fingers underneath her tank top and looking up her with puppy eyes. "Are you saying that it would be such a bad thing if we made out?"

Effie stroked her hands over either side of his neck, looking into his eyes, one of her eyebrows perked up. "Are you saying you wanna kiss me?"

There were many things that happened at that party, students try humping on every wall, snorting lines off of random surfaces.

Anything could've happened.

Knock.

Knock.

Knock.

"C'mon, Farleigh. Give me back Effie, I know she's in there." Felix's voice came booming from behind the thick door. Some more harsh knocks and attempts to turn the doorknob came from him. Effie dropped in the dip of Farleigh's neck as she giggled at Felix's attempt in trying to be assertive.

Farleigh let Effie go, standing up from his bed in only his boxers and a pair of long white socks. "Well, we don't have time from that now, do we?"

Effie looked around, picking up the remains of her clothing — not seeing anything else but her white pleaded skirt and calf boots. She quickly slipped her underwear off, balling them up and dropped them on Farleigh's bed. She stepped into the opening of the skirt, pulling it up her smooth legs as Farleigh went to open the door. Revealing an annoyed Felix leaning against the frame and clicking his jaw back and forth. Farleigh chuckled, a playful smirk displayed on his face. "How may I help you, Mr. Catton?"

"Ha ha, very funny, Far. Where is she?" Felix watched Farleigh open the door a little bit more, showing Effie now turned around searching through his dresser drawer trying to find something. Farleigh then walked away towards the bathroom to begin brushing his teeth. She then turned around with a sweater in her hands, throwing it over the bed as she sat back down. Bending down to pick up her socks and slipping on both of her boots. She stood back up as Farleigh was now sliding on some black pants, bending back down to slightly cuff them at the bottom. Felix, now walked into the room a bit, leaning back on the wall behind him as he watched them both get dressed — a million things running through his kind.

Did they hook up?

Could they have just made out in a drunken state?

Or did they just tear their clothes off, go to bed and go to sleep with nothing happening?

It was Farleigh, it wasn't like he had a choice to trust him or not — and that would already be a hard choice.

Farleigh grabbed an undershirt and one of his sweaters from his closet, tossing them both on. Effie slipped on the sweater she stole from his drawer, rubbing out the wrinkles in the body mirror as she heard Felix huff out in frustration. She turned to him, watching him hold up his two fingers in a gun formation to simulate blowing his brains out. She giggled before searching over the room again to see if she was missing anything while she picked up her shoulder purse that was peeking out from under the table. Farleigh was about done dressing as he grabbed his wallet and phone, wrapping his arm around Effie's shoulder so they walked towards Felix as one. "So, what did you do to her?"

                              "I would tell you what we did, but, good boys don't kiss and tell," Farleigh snickered, feeling Effie's hand brush off some glitter still left on the side of his face with her little smile. They gave each other a quick glance previous to turning back to face Felix. "Our lips are sealed tied."

Felix groaned, rolling his eyes. "And good morning to you too, Mr. Catton."

                              "It's actually the afternoon." The three began to walk out of the room, Farleigh closing the door behind them — his arm still around Effie with her hand intertwined with Felix's.

                              "That's not our fault, we were sleeping off the aftermath of last night. Whoever was pouring those drinks, needs honest therapy." Effie, Farleigh and Felix walked through the bustling hallway, some students not even caring to take a glance at the three. But, some waited until they passed to take a glance back at them — seeing it with their own eyes just confused them even more.

                              "Well, you two would've known if this one would've answered my calls." Effie glance up at Farleigh with a snickering smile on her cheeky face while he matched her devious smile.

Of course, the only thing that the two ever done was maybe kiss in the time of knowing each other. And they haven't done anything last night — they just loved to toy with Felix. The three walked themselves towards Effie's dorm after she claimed she needed to get some things before going anywhere or doing anything. Getting overly jealous, Felix felt a way with Farleigh's arm wrapped tightly around her shoulders, keeping him from fully having Effie. He was jealous. Felix then pulled Effie, twirling her around — causing Farleigh's arm to drop from her shoulders along with his smile. She sent a laugh out as she twirled around in front of Felix — until her and Falreigh's expressions dropped when he stopped moving her and throwing her over his shoulder.

Any other time, she'd dismiss his actions. But this time, it was nerve wracking to know that this time anyone could see what's under her skirt. "Wait, Felix put her down."

                              "Why? You had her all last night and this morning. I should be able to have her now." Felix walked with his head high, feeling Effie go stiff on his shoulder. Farleigh walking in front of Felix, making him stop in his tracks ahead of them almost reaching Effie's dorm door. "Farleight, move. Effie said she needs some things."

                              "She needs some things alright."

                              "Pardon?" Felix's eyebrows knotted together, confused at what just heard.

                              "He's right, Lix. You need to put me down." Effie lightly tapped his back, trying to convince him to set her down and setting her hand over the back of her skirt.

                              "What's going on? What's the secret?"

                              "I don't have any panties on and I don't want the whole Uni to see up my skirt." Felix reached his fingers under her skirt, prodding over her asscheek feeling no material other that her skirt. He set her down with no argument, no discussion, letting her smooth out her skirt before beginning to walk towards her room. Faleigh waiting for Felix to start up again.

They arrived to her door shortly, silence washed over them as Effie went to open her door. "Where's your underwear?"

                              "I think I left them in Farleigh's room when I was changing." A small flick of Effie's balled up panties sitting comfy on his sheets flashed into Farleigh's mind when she spoke up.

There was a small period of silence amongst all of them. Felix looked between the both of them. He didn't want to start. He shouldn't start. He's about to start. "You know you wouldn't have left them there if you never slept there."

Effie scoffed, "Well I wouldn't have slept over his if you didn't spent the whole night attached to Annabelle's damn lips."

She stormed into her room, slamming the door behind her — the gust of wind blew back their hair some. Leaving the two of them in disbelief, though Farleigh saw this coming sooner or later.

"Well, shit," Farleigh dropped his arms from the folded position they were in, huffing as he walked away from Felix.

It was just a house party. Effie didn't think that she would catch a half-drunk Felix inhaling Annabelle's lips on the corner of the bathroom she tried to make it to before she pissed herself. Nothing could prepare him to know that she saw what he did.

October Twenty-First.                     4:37 PM

Felix closed the passenger's door right after Effie slipped into the car with a new set of panties and her purse. He tucked his hands into his front pockets as his long legs carried him towards the driver's side. Effie repositioned her legs to face the door, the others piled into the backset, Farleigh being the last one in — squeezing in the middle with one of Bethany's friends on the other side of him. He watched as Felix sat down with an annoyed expression on his face, rolling his eyes after remembering the little tantrum he had earlier.

"So. Where are we going first?" Bethany spoke up from the right side of Farleigh, her freshly done nails lightly scratching the back of the headrest.

Felix looked to the side at Effie who was now applying lip gloss in the visor mirror, seeing him out the corner of her eye. "Well, we're supposed to meet Everette and Ben at the store so we can shop for our costumes together."

She stuck the wand back into the tube to put it away back into her purse before turning around to face Bethany with a snarky smile. "Those two are hanging around each other a lot more than normal. I really thought they didn't like one another."

"Benjamin always acted like he hated when we brought Everette up. I thought that man disliked him to the T." Farleigh spoke, shifting around in his seat.

Effie rubbed her lips together as she moved to the side when Felix attempted to set his hand on her thigh. "Well, I guess we'll just ask them when we see them."

The car ride. The car ride was somewhat smooth, a little uncomfortable due to the silence between Felix and Effie in the front seats — quiet. Going over the bumps in the roads, the branches brushing over the top of the car while everyone tried to question what was happening amongst themselves. They passed by the groups of people walking on the streets and the over the pavement — many of them holding shopping bags. Felix didn't even have the decency to turn on the radio to tune out the silence.

Farleigh lit a cigarette, hanging his arm out the open hood of the car while it went over a large bump in the road. Both of Felix's hands wrapped around the steering wheel as they drove to their destination for the day. Effie rested her elbow on the door handle, looking out of the open window and thinking about all of the things that could come out of today. And come out of whatever this is with Felix.

"I guess they started looking without us." Farleigh spoke up as the car slowed down in front of the costume shop they were headed to. He saw from the large windows on the building Everette and Benjamin already shopping for costumes. Not even bothering to wait for the rest of them.

Felix hurried to open his door so he could walk over to open Effie's, but he was let down after he heard her door close. Farleigh pulled himself up out of the car, sliding down the side while the rest simply stepped out of the car with ease. Farleigh slipped the cigarette back in between his lips, he walked with Bethany and her friend towards the door of the quaint store, the costumes filling the racks. Effie walking behind them, not even caring that Felix decided to stay outside and lit up a cigarette.

The group met up with Everette and Benjamin who seemed like they were already done picking out their costumes or had an idea of what to look for. Farleigh picked up a sexy dog costume, holding it up to Effie's body. "You make a good looking Dalmatian, wouldn't you say?"

She pushed it away with a snarky smile, going to look over to the other options on the racks. The group entered the costume shop not having any clue of what they wanted to be for the party they decided to throw. She picked up a costume of a bright red for hydrant and held it up to his lanky body. "And you'll look so sexy as a fire hydrant. Wouldn't you think?"

                                "We'd make a great pair, I'd say." Farleigh chuckled, snatching the costume from her baba to chuck it back onto the rack. He took the chance to look up at the window, seeing Felix peering into the store, his cigarette still smoking. The stare he had set on Farleigh kind of scared him for the better before he looked back down at the various costumes. "Your brute is staring."

Effie looked up at the window, her smile dropped before going back to what she was doing before. "I don't even think I want to deal with him right now."

Farleigh signed, "I think you should go talk to him."

"You feeling okay, Far? You never care about me and Felix."

"I know, I know. But my chest is hurting the way he looks like a sad kitten in the rain," Farleigh leaned on one of the racks. "Go talk to him."

Effie dropped her head back, breathlessly signing into the air previous to looking back at her friend who seemed to care about her relationship for once. He swatted her away and out of the store, the bells rung again as she opened the door to walk outside. She leaned on the window as well, a good distance away from him. Effie began to search through her purse to find the box of cigarettes, taking them out and clinging onto one to slip it out. She took it into her mouth before rustling around trying to find a lighter — but unfortunately couldn't find one. Felix handed over his lighter save waited until she took it.

"I don't like how close you are to Farleigh now." Felix mumbled out with his head down, kicking around a couple of rocks on the pavement.

"I don't like how close you are to Annabel." She blew out a large cloud of smoke, watching the cars drive by slowly.

"Annabel's just a fling. She's doesn't really mean anything."

"Like how Spencer was a fling? But you don't see me still making out with him in your face." She dry laughed, rolling her lips in and out — tapping on the cigarette and watching the ash fall of the end.

Felix cleared his throat, sniffing loudly as he briefly looked over at the beautiful Effie wearing his cousin's school sweater. "Nothing's gonna happen anymore. I really do love you, Fi and I'm sorry about last night."

She pouted, knowing that he did care for her, she knew that the feelings he had for her was strong and he didn't know how to deal with them properly.

"And I've been wanting to ask you as well."

"Ask away, Lix." Effie whispered with a little smile on her face, her head down to face the ground.

"Well. I wanted to ask if you wanted to be my girlfriend. Because I really want to be your boyfriend." Felix looked over at Effie, movements stopped for a bit — her little smile gently faded away when she heard those words. Her movements come to halt, thinking over the possibilities of being in a relationship and all of the outcomes. Felix kind of got worried from the silence emitting from Effie beside him.

He watched her sigh and then go in to rub her sticky lip gloss around her thick lips as she shifted her weight to her left foot. She brought the smoking cigarette up to her mouth to breathe in the toxins once more. "You have to stop seeing Annabel the way you do."

"I'll do it. I'll do it," Felix quickly turned to the side, his doe eyes peering down at Effie. A pleading look washed over his face as he waited and anticipated her next answer.

She shook her head and dropped it on the window behind her, her dimples poking through her cheeks while her smile grew wider by the second. "Then I say yes—"

Felix couldn't wait to flick his cigarette to the ground while he yelled in excitement — rushing over to Effie to scoop her up in his long arms, swinging them both around in a circle. Effie's cigarette had long dropped from her manicured hands before she raked her fingers through his dark chestnut curls. The biggest smile on his face as he showed down the spin, coming to a stop to look deeply into her dark brown eyes with passion. "I love you Effie Margaux Koach, I do."

"And I love you Felix Catton." She giggled, he softly leaned in for a kiss and she immediately took the chance to pull his head towards her to press her lips against his.

He pulled away, his eyes still half-closed, "I'll get your knickers when we get back to campus — put them in my drawer for a keepsake."

"Felix!" Effie swatted at his chest with a surprised gasp and he chuckled.

"Looks like they made up." Farleigh mumbled to himself from inside the shop as he stood at the checkout counter.
