Alice turned around and walked back to me. "Hungry? Did you not eat

Lunch?"

I tore my eyes away from the leftover kalbi short ribs on the kitchen counter. I hadn't realized I'd come to a stop instead of following her.

“Uh, well..."

“Eomma!" Alice called down the hallway before jabbering something in

Korean I didn't understand, other than the word "Matty". Her mom hollered something back, so Alice went to a cabinet, grabbed a plate, and started loading some up short ribs.

I realized what she was doing and muttered, “Uh, thanks."

“Okay, who was it?" she asked, holding up the plate of ribs along with a heap of white rice out to the side, far out of my reach.

“Um, what?"

“Which girl were you visiting this morning? Or girls? Which girls kept you fucking them so long you didn't have time to eat before racing over here to meet me by 1pm just like you'd promised?”

I blinked. "I never said--"

“Tell me who or I'm not giving you the food."

I blinked, blushed, and stared at the floor for a minute. For half a second I thought about denying everything, insisting I'd eaten plenty for Lunch, and was just tired from not having slept well the night before. But this was Alice, who knew my Lies almost as well as Belle.

"Uh, Sam and Zofi. Sam had actually never had sex in her own bed before, and her parents were both at work."

“Wow, Zofi? I never thought she'd give up her cherry. Didn't seem all that interested the last time I saw her, save for holding your hand at school all the time."

"Uh, no, not Zofi. She's... well, she's really into Sam."

“Obviously.”

“And she's really into watching."

“Ohhh...”

"So Zofi's still a virgin. Although she HAS started to really like going down on me."

Alice mused on that, gave me a ‘well, okay’ shrug, and handed me the plate. "You know the rules."

I nodded. Eat at the dining table. Don't spill anything. No food was allowed in the bedrooms. I'd eaten at Alice's place enough times over the years.

“This actually works out great," Alice said with a grin.

“I was ALMOST done with this Last Level and was trying to bang it out before you got here. Now you've bought me another fifteen minutes."

I smiled. "Thanks for the food."
