Chapter 271 - Two Of A Kind (1/2)
”Exactly what is going through that head of yours, hmm?” Ruby asked as she walked by Laz, tracing a finger along his jaw line as though pointing out it was hanging open slightly.
”Noth... Nothing at all.” Laz stammered and eventually managed to get out, causing the girls to laugh.
Taking a closer look, Laz noticed that Ruby and Marlene had similar body types. Although Malene's b.r.e.a.s.ts were slightly bigger, Ruby had a bit more curve to her a.s.s, but even then, their figures were very similar. And the dresses they were both wearing were tight and seemed to only cover slightly below where he could only imagine their p.a.n.t.i.e.s were. Honestly speaking, if they were to sit down for even one unguarded moment, Laz was pretty sure he would be able to figure out not only the color of their u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r, but the style as well.
Seeing Laz in a fl.u.s.tered way caused both girls to laugh even more.
”You know something. My sister Ruby here has told me a lot about you,” Malene said with an evil grin.
”And Malene has informed me of your many dirty secrets from when you were younger,” Ruby followed up.
”So we decided to give you a chance.”
”Mmm, that's right. One choice. Once chance.”
”Uh... And what would that be?” If Laz were to claim he had any idea what they were talking about, he would be struck by lightning. Or have a piano fall on his head. Or something. Because bad things like that happened when you lied so badly.
”You can only be with one of us in the future. So pick one. Me? Or her?” Both Ruby and Malene said at the same time, blending their voices while pointing to each other.
The lightning struck Laz's flailing corpse, right after the piano rolled off it.
This was even worse than lying badly.
”I... uh... but...”
”But what? Don't you think your being a little too greedy? Wanting us both?” Malene asked.
”Now now sister. Don't forget the others. Leona and Kennedy should have a chance as well. We can't leave them out, right?”
”Do you think this guy even deserves either of them?” Malene shot back.
”So you're saying we are bottom of the barrel and they are top shelf?” Ruby asked.
”Well... when you put it that way... I guess. Yes?”
”You naughty girl.”
Much to Laz's surprise, the two girls got rather close to each and started play fighting, completely ignoring him.
Which was totally fine since Laz's brain had malfunctioned anyway.
'I mean... I thought Malene said that all of the girls had decided that it was ok... and that they wanted to be with me... and that... I thought that was too good to be true... but to think I would have to decide right now. So soon. And with things the way they are already...'
As Laz's head when back and forth to the point of smoking, he suddenly felt two warm objects embrace both his arms.
”What?”
”We just want you to understand how lucky you are,” Ruby commented
”Since we can't give you up, you're stuck with us,” Malene added.
”Oh...Well... yeah. I mean. I already knew that,” Laz wasn't sure if he was relieved or if he was feeling threatened. Either way, he would have to really watch himself in the future and not start thinking with the wrong head. After all, he already had quite a few beauties by his side.
”Good. And don't you forget it. Now, let's eat!”
The tension that the girls brought was gone in an instant as they sat down at the table with Laz, one on each side of him. Malene had ordered a bunch of different dishes which they all took turns trying, some they liked and others they didn't.
Before long though, Ruby asked Laz a question.
”So what happened to you back then?”
Although Laz had already given Malene a quick run down, that didn't mean that he had included everything.
Although Laz was safe and sound now, back then, he had scared the hell out of everyone. And then with the large time gap that Laz totally disappeared, all of the girls, even though they felt he was ok, were frantic with worry. Malene's personality was gentle enough where she wouldn't demand answers from him, but Ruby wasn't the same.
Seeing the two curious looks, Laz took the time to describe everything in detail, never noticing that Ruby had set her phone down next to her with the speaker on. Had Laz been more alert, he never would have missed it.
Laz took them through everything, explaining clearly what had happened when he had gotten free, how he had come to be in the strange forest realm, the one year nap, meeting Sarah and her grandfather and family and finally the advice that had lead him here.
Sitting there quietly, the girls just looked at Laz in amazement. In fact, it took a while before Ruby found her voice.
”So... ok. Of all the things baby... let's start with the fact that you can help people awaken successfully?”
”Ok.”
”How?” Malene asked,
”Is it something you can teach others?”
”Is it something everyone can use?”
”Are there side effects?”
”Did you sleep with that girl?”
”You did, didn't you?”
”WAIT... HOW DID WE END UP HERE?” Laz was a target they were both firing questions at, but not giving him space to answer. On top of that, before he could even form a thought, they started asking about Sarah.
