Chapter 87 - Real Fear (2/2)

Laz had never considered himself a brave person. Despite the things that recently came about, being shot at, fighting other people and even fighting a monster, Laz had never spent much time considering the danger he was in. Up until he almost died, he never stopped to question his own mortality. Even that ended up seeming like more of a dream than being a real life changing event. Maybe it was his age or lack of experience, but he still felt like he had his whole life ahead of him. Therefore, he didn't understand what it meant to feel fear and to be able to overcome it. Only once you felt fear and still acted, could you consider yourself to be brave. Even so, he never felt like he was a coward either.

That is, up until he turned around the corner. Once he set his sights on what was standing there, he immediately froze up like a deer in headlights. His mouth even dropped open at the sight. For the first time in his life, Laz knew what real fear was.

Standing in the small alleyway between two brick buildings was Kennedy and Malene, both looking straight at him.

”Uhhh....” That was the entirety of what Laz could vocalize at this moment.

”Hi.”

”Hello, pervert.”

The two girls voiced their greetings.

'OMFG,' was the only thought running through his head. Even he could tell based on their looks that they had clearly talked a bit among themselves. He might not know what was said, but none of it could be good for him.

Taking a deep breath, Laz steeled himself and walked over to Kennedy and grabbed her into a hug. At first, she tried to resist him, but then just settled down and hugged him back. He held her for a good several minutes before breaking the hug. Then, without so much as a word, he walked over and hugged Malene. She backed away from him rather quickly, clearly surprised. But he just sped up and caught up to her before she could turn around and run. Although he tried to fight him and was even about to bite him, she finally stopped and just hugged him as well. Her face was a bright red when he finally backed off.

”Your both leaving?” The only plan Laz could come up with was to ignore the problem and just act like there was nothing wrong, praying they would go along with it and not ask any questions.

Malene and Kennedy just looked at each other for a quick second before turning back to Laz, seeing right through his plan.

Malene was dressed nicely in her signature leather jacket with a puffy blue skirt and stripped thigh high socks along with knee high black boots. Kennedy was dressed rather simply in blue skinny jeans with a white blouse and a red felt petticoat jacket. They were both top level beauties on a normal day. But when you put them both together, the sight was almost too much for one man. Each girl had their own, different kind of charm. Sadly for Laz, there was no way he was going to allow his eyes to feast.

”Alright, look. I'm sure you both have something to say and I'm not about to make excuses so just say it.”

”Nope. Just wanted to say goodbye before I left. I just happened to bump into Malene while I was waiting. She looked like she was waiting for someone to and we just happened to chat a bit. That's all. Why little boy? Feeling guilty about something?”

”Mmm, I have to agree with big sister here. I just wanted to let you know that after the mess we made in the woods next to my house, my parents got freaked and decided we needed to leave. Since I didn't have your number, I figured I would wait for you after work and say goodbye. Is there a problem or something?”

Laz wanted to bang his head against a wall. Perhaps if he knocked himself out, he could avoid this awkward situation. He didn't for a moment believe that they didn't talk to each other about him. He also knew he couldn't escape. Instead, he just buried his face in his hands for a brief moment while trying to come up with something.

It was strangely quiet while he thought. Removing his face from his hands, he noticed both girls were just quietly standing there, looking at him. Laz could almost feel himself turning into stone from their glares. While he was weighing the pros and cons of just turning around and running like a chicken, he noticed a drop of water coming off a gutter and hitting the ground. Suddenly, he had an idea.

”How much time do you two have?”

Both girls then gave him a death stare as though wanting to melt his eyes out.

”It's nothing bad, I just want to take you both somewhere and show you something before you leave. Please?” Laz looked at both girls, but mostly at Kennedy. Malene was a bit colder to him, so Laz knew he had to break the ice with Kennedy before getting Malene to agree. He couldn't help but give her the best puppy dog eyes he could muster. He face finally relaxed as she let out a giggle.

”Kennedy sis??” Malene looked at her with accusingly. The goal was to make him squirm a while before letting him off the hook. But Kennedy couldn't fake mad at him with those eyes. Laz finally turned his puppy dog look towards Malene who couldn't help but laugh at the ridicules way he was acting.

”Oh fine. I've got some time.”

”Me too, where are we going?”

”To my place.”

”ASSHOLE.”

”PERVERT.”

”WHAT? No... I just need to get Vivi and then we can walk over. It's close by to where I live. What? Did you think I wanted a threesome or something?”

Both girls couldn't help but blush as his accusation. In truth, he didn't even say anything dirty, they just took it that way. Even if he made it sound bad, they were the ones who had the naughty thoughts. They were both pretty embarrassed at their own jumping to conclusion and were going to reply, until he spoke again.

”Wait wait wait!!! Was that an option?”

SMACK

Laz felt himself get hit in the head by two rather heavy handbags.
