Last night I'm escorted home from the embassy because I didn't have my car available. Then it's the usual routine before bedtime.
Knock, knock, knock, knock.
Someone's knocking on the door. I check the time. 12:51 AM!? Are you fucking serious right now?
I peek outside my window to see who it is. There's a lovely blond girl with a modest figure and round behind standing like a zombie in front of my door. Her head is slumped to the side. I quickly put on my pajama pants. Not even bothering with the porch light I open the door.
Sarah? No, I had to rub my eyes to make sure. "Sarah?" I whisper. "What are you doing here?" While Sarah's body is standing normally her head is slumped to the side with her eyes closed. Sarah walks into my kitchen. Is it sleep walking? It's too aware. Sarah dodges the coffee table in the living room easily as if she knew it was there. And this is the first time she's in my house.
Sarah pours herself a glass of water from the tap into a coffee mug. Sarah picks up the mug. Then a glowing bulb emerges from Sarah's neck and dips into the cup. The bulb immediately spits the water back out into the sink. A bit of mist sprays on Sarah's face. Sarah begins to mumble and lifts her head. She yawns, then asks, "where…?" Sarah sees me in my pajama pants shirtless. Sarah drops the mug which shatters in the sink. Sarah shrieks and falls over. I run over to catch Sarah. Myrrh oozes out of Sarah's collar bone cut and I guess her wrists too? The slime cushins Sarah's fall. "Hey! What's the big idea of having hard tap water!?" Myrrh hisses. Sarah panics. "Where am I? [ANON], why are you-!?"
"I live here," I answered. "Don't move. I get you a blanket and pillow and clean out a spot in the living room."
Sarah turns to Myrrh. "Did you… Why did you bring me to HIM of all people?" Myrrh grumbles. "I'm just about to leave. His water is hard." Sarah folds her arms and says, "you couldn't wake me up to buy water for you?" Myrrh sighs, "I tried waking you up. You were the one who rubbed herself to sleep."
"Only because you were playing with the pearl in the first place."
"Well I get bored when you do homework. And you won't let me play with your phone."
"Because you fried the last one with your gooey wet hands."
During Sarah's and Myrrh's argument I find a sleeping bag, pillow, and foam bedroll. I lay the bedding on the kitchen floor. I grab Sarah. The two heads glare at me and ask in harmony "what are you doing?" Fucking hell. I don't need this why boner right now. I say nothing. I move the girls onto the bedding. "If the law asks, I'm moving you to a safe comfortable place so the ambulance can extract you." I turn on the water filter and pour a tall plastic cup of water. "Also, Myrrh, the water is hard because you didn't turn on the filter." Myrrh pouts and says, "I… I knew that." Sarah giggles. "She didn't really. Now drink up sis."
I set the cup on the floor. Myrrh forms a straw-like tube from Sarah's wrist and dips it into the glass. Myrrh sucks up the whole glass. Myrrh and Sarah sigh together, "ah! Much better." I sit myself down, trying the best I can to keep my little boy from poking out too much. Goddamn their voices together are sexy.
"So…" I swallow. "You told me a brief summary of how you two met. Mind telling me the rest of it?"
