“I don’t think that’s the only reason.”
“Well, it doesn’t hurt that I like you quite a bit, Marilyn. You intrigue me. And you know what you’re doing. Not all girls can say that.”
She just shook her head and bit her lower lip as she felt another climax coming.
Cyrus stopped suddenly just as she nearly peaked. His eyes were wide beneath her, his head up and alert.
“What?”
“The door. A key—”
She turned her attention to the front door. She heard it now. The click and the turn of a key in the lock. And only one other person had a key to her apartment.
She lowered her voice. “Shit! Get in the bathroom. Now. I’m not quite ready to have this conversation yet.”
“Wait, who is it?”
She stepped off the bed and gathered the ball of his clothes. She threw them into his arms. “Go! Now!”
Cyrus looked perplexed, but he took the wad of clothes and headed towards the bathroom. Marilyn turned back to the door and rushed towards it.
Clothes formed over her body as she bounded towards the door. A pleated black skirt and a simple blue sweatshirt formed over her. Her feet stayed bare as she never hardened them into shoes in her house. Her hair straightened into her normal style, the classic look of her namesake.
She sat up in the bed and composed herself just as the key clicked and the door swung open. She gave Alli a smile.
Alli looked around the room a couple times and then let out a sigh. Another girl, this one with some kind of circuits seemingly interweaving her skin, entered after her.
“Marilyn!”
Marilyn’s eyes narrowed. She couldn’t understand why Alli was calling out for her. “I’m right here.”
Alli turned to the other girl as if she hadn’t even heard Marilyn. “Well, from the state of the bed she clearly slept here, but she’s not here now. Damn it, where did she go?”
“I’m right here!” Marilyn yelled the words, but the other women still didn’t seem to hear. With panic, she turned back to the bathroom. “Cyrus!”
He stumbled out, his clothes a mess. “Alli, hi, uh, who’s your new friend?”
Neither Alli nor the other woman took any notice of that question either.
“Cyrus, it’s like they can’t even see us.” Marilyn climbed out of the bed as Alli threw up her arms in frustration. “Alli, I’m right here.”
