The Morning After

"OH MY GOD" I screamed at the top of my voice, my body erupting from the bed. The world froze as I recognized two people in front of me, Paul holding a fork of food in his hand with a very confused expression on his face, while Scarlet with a bucket of fried chicken looking at me with a big grin on her face.

I let out a small scream quickly diving back into the bed pulling the duvet completely covering me 'was all that just a DREAM???!!' my body still quivering slightly from the dream. I slowly lowered my duvet so I could take a peep at them, both of them still staring at my direction. I took a large deep breath and sat up on the bed, "sleep well?" Paul asked as he went back to eating food and reading a paper. "Sorry for last night. I should have shielded you as well." He apologized.

I was speechless my mind still remember the dream in great detail, "Of course she didn't Paul, she looks completely fine..... Why is you face so red Emilia?" Scarlet replied for me with a giant grin.

"My face is red? Really?...." I replied trying to sound unconvinced.

"Nice dream? You kept sleep talking all night." Scarlet looked at me chuckling.

Paul was reading something that resembled a newspaper paying no attention to our conversation. "You need to get up and have some breakfast Emilia and get ready for induction day" He said still reading the paper.

"Ummm… okay." I agreed, as I began making my way off the bed, pausing before the end looking under the duvet to see what I was wearing, the same pajamas I wore last night slightly dirtied from with some small spots of blood. A part of me hoped that the dream at least partially happened. Exiting the bed I took a better look at the room, there was quite a few sofa's with a small table in the middle, a number of shelves took up one side of a wall filled with books, and several pictures with Paul in the with a number of people I don't recognize Scarlet appearing in some of them as well. In a corner stood Scarlet's huge sword and her smaller wooden one, an armor stand holding her armor pieces neatly and a large wardrobe.

"Come Come! Take a seat." Scarlet said to me pulling out a chair next to her.

"Scarlet I don't think she can sit that close to you…" Paul added.

"Ohh yeah…. Take a seat at the Sofas then." She said pointing at the sofas.

"What would you like to eat?" Paul asked me still focused on the paper.

"Ummm anything will do I'm not picky….." I quietly replied to him.

He stood up and began walking into another room, I assume to be a kitchen, "Cornflakes?" he shouted out the room.

"Yeah sure." I shouted back replying to him.

He stepped out holding a tray with a Honey Nut Cornflakes, a small jug with a bowl and spoon, placing it on the table in front of me. "Hope these will be okay….. I'll bring some cinnamon cornflakes back we me next time I get the chance." He said walking away picking up his paper from the table, and headed to a closet. "I would love to stay but I have some things I need to do before my break finishes so I'll see you around." He explained as he pulled out his trench coat from the wardrobe putting it on and exiting the room without waiting for my response.

The moment the clicked shut, Scarlet instantaneously leapt up leaving her sandwich jumping on the sofa furthest away from me staring at me with the biggest grin on her face with raised eyebrows. "Sooo.... What happened?" she eagerly questioned as I tried to avoid eye contact.

"Huh?..... Nothing… I went for a walk and some reason I fell unconscious last night." I replied to her as I began pouring out my cornflakes and milk and started eating.

"Ohhhh that I know….. Paul briefed me this morning. I was talking about you dream." Scarlet asked me.

Some milk sprayed out my mouth, "What?.... nothing… I can't remember." I panicky answered her.

"Owww that sucks….. You spent the whole night moaning saying some lewd things and calling out Paul's name nonstop." Scarlet replied with a frown.

I tried hiding my face as I ate my bowl of cornflakes, by body feeling extremely hot suddenly. "Really?.... No idea why sorry." I replied to her pretending I have no idea, I could literally feel my face getting red.

"Hmmmmmmm... okay...well it sounded like you had a very steamy dream" she informed me with a wink.

She stood up and began walking to the wardrobe, her cropped top and shorts revealed her very sexy athletic physique, opening the wardrobe and taking a look inside, she stripped off her crop top revealing her muscular back and shoulders, she pulled out a sports bra and began putting it on tugging it really hard to fit over her breast, she then slipped off her shorts and put on a plain colored sleeveless purple dress on, "do you think this looks good tuning around to me and giving me a spin." She asked.

"Yeah it looks great. You have a stunning body" I complimented her finishing off my cornflakes.

"I do? Thank you! You're very beautiful yourself!" She beamed turning to the mirror checking out herself and a small twirl.

"Nah I don't think so, I'm a bit pudgy at places sadly" I replied wishing I had a body like hers.

"I dunno, I know someone who thinks you're pretty perfect." Scarlet said turning her head and winking at me.

"Hmmmm maybe you can introduce me to said person some time." I joked back.

She laughed a little, "Hmmm really? I thought you was already taken judging by your dream last night." She joked raising and lowering her eyebrows rapidly. "Ohhhh by the way Paul made you some lunch today, he said finding vegetarian food might be a little difficult, it should be in the kitchen somewhere." She informed me, "odd when you're around he doesn't seem to take much notice but in an odd way he does seem to care about you." She added thinking about the situation.

Packing up the food and cutlery into the tray and began making my way to the room Paul came out with it, "this is the kitchen right?" I asked Scarlet opening the door.

"Yup it is" she replied watching me enter the room.

Putting the tray on the counter top and the bowl and cutlery into the sink, I took a better look around the room. It was quite a big kitchen beautifully designed the center consisting of a large worktop, sink and tap and hobs, surrounded with an outside counter top a fridge and 2 ovens filled with all sorts of cooking utensils, almost like a dream kitchen. It was also stocked to the brim full of food, multiple boxes of cornflakes all different brands, some can foods, bread, spices everything I can think of was here. "wow this kitchen is well stocked." I shouted to Scarlet.

"Yup Paul brings back loads of things back from his home, he loves to cooking." She shouted back.

Looking around I found a brown bag on the side countertop with the word Em on the front, looking inside I saw a wrapped up sandwich a cheese and onion crisps, a bottle of water and a Snickers bar, "Found it" I replied to Scarlet, closing the bag and taking it out with me.

Scarlet was at her armor stand beginning to put on a heavy looking black plate of armor, Clipping and fastening it in place. "Are they heavy?" I questioned her with intrigue.

"Huh? These?.... Not really just a little heavier than normal clothes I guess." She replied to me effortlessly picking up her front breast plate attaching it to herself and fastening it on tightly.

"Wanna try?" She asked steeping away from her boots.

"Sure" I answered as I went and tried to lift a boot, "Jesus Christ these are heavy, just how strong can you possibly be?" I questioned her in surprise both my arms and all my strength barely able to nudge the boots.

"Ohhhh… Yeah you could say I'm pretty strong" she joked as she lifted the boot away with one hand by her fingertips effortlessly. "Ohh by the way I have lots of spare clothes in my room feel free to enter and take whatever you like." She said fastening her boots tightly.

"Are you sure it's okay to borrow your clothes?" I questioned her.

"Borrow? You can keep it! I always have way too much and Paul lets me buy whatever I want I love the clothes from your world!…..I'll wait here and clean up the dishes while you pick out something to wear and then we'll make our way to the meeting point…. Okay?" Scarlet asked me kindly.

"Okay sure" I smiled at her making my way out the same door Paul exited earlier.

"Door on the right Emilia" I heard her shout out to me.

"Okay" I shouted back exiting into the hall way.

I saw Paul talking to another student barely being able to work out who she was, till she tilted her head looking for the source of the sound. Seeing her clearly now it was Calista, her hair tied up in a messy bun, wearing a tight green sleeveless dress hugging her body showing off her thin waist, short enough to revealing her thick thighs. She glared at me in anger her face exploding in jealousy, watching me closely as I closed Paul's door, scanning me from top to toe. I tried not to notice her quietly walking towards Scarlet's room, opening Scarlet's door I gave her a small wave with a grin as I walked in.

Walking in I carefully let the door close but not fully, allowing me to open it ever so slightly to try and listen into their conversation. "Sorry I had to cancel yesterday, Headmistress got me on patrol during the evenings, so I won't be free till the School decides we are safe again." He apologized to Calista.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, I will be looking forward for when your evenings free up" Calista replied....."If you don't mind me asking what's your relationship with that girl that was in your room?" Calista asked.

"Emilia? Nothing she's just an acquaintance" Paul replied, a horrible sinking feeling washed over me hearing him say that, a part of me wishing deeply he was like the Paul in the dream.

"That's a relief I thought she was your girlfriend or something….." Calista replied.

"Thanks for coming to see me this early in the morning, hope it wasn't too much of a hassle….." Paul apologized to her.

"It's never a hassle to see you Paul, anyways I better start making my way, See you around." Calista replied, my curiosity needed to know for certain what's exactly is going on, so I turned my head around the slit in the door peeping ever so slightly so I can barely catch a sigh of Paul. Calista leaned in whispering something to his ear and kissed his cheek and walked off.

Keeping a close watch on Paul's reaction, "Yes, Ashley? Wassup?" He spoke out. Holding his finger to his ear...…. "It's done?... Wow that quickly? Thanks bud, She's gonna love it." I heard him say I guess he was talking to Ashley with his communicator. I couldn't help but linger secretly watching him endearingly. I saw his eyes slowly dart towards my direction staring at me from the corner of his eye's, My whole body froze, it's too late to hide, maybe if I stayed very still he might not notice me. "What's wrong with me?" he spoke out as he smiled and began walking away.

Turning around remember why I came in her nothing could prepared me for Scarlet's room, it was absolutely filled with hundreds up hundreds of boxes, dresses hanging on makeshift hooks, everything seemingly unworn. Opening up various draws and cabinet's and wardrobes, all filled with everything a girl needs to dress herself for every season and occasion imaginable, ranging from accessories, and jewellery to shoes coats umbrellas hats everything! I first began looking for undergarments.

She had hundreds of undergarments of different types ranging from plain to sexy laced panties and bras ranging from famous brands to unbranded, all new completely unworn. I firstly picked out a bra that looked both comfortable and Strong enough to give me enough support and extremely soft plain white panties, to my surprise the bra fit perfectly but the panties was a little on the tight end.

Shuffling and scanning through all the other pieces of clothing, for some reason a mint green plain summer dress called out to me, picking it out leaving it on the bed. I began to look for foot ware scanning through her large shelf of foot ware and checking countless number of shoe boxes until I found a pair of small black sandals with a small floral design on it seemed appropriate for today, both comfortable to walk in and stylish. Stripping off my clothes I was instantly wafted by my own body odor, the smell of sweat was overwhelming, 'I wonder if they had perfume or deodorant here'. Taking off my panties I could feel they were absolutely soaked the slightly nasty smell assaulted my nose overwhelming the smell of my sweaty pajamas. Quickly slipping on the clothes and folding my panties into my pajamas to mask the smell, I began tying my hair into a braid fastening it securely with the floral hairband.

A part of me pondered if I should wear some accessories, but decided not too I don't want Scarlet thinking I'm a free loader. I couldn't help but take a peek at watches they were absolutely stunning, mostly elegant and small encrusted in various gem of different colors to match any outfit. Opening a set of draws revealed an absolutely overwhelming amount of jewellery, the necklaces ranging from plain leather cord to a very expensive looking diamond necklace with absolutely huge perfectly cut diamonds sparkling brilliantly in the light.

She even had a section for rings, inlaid with all sort of color jewels, with countless number of designs and metals, I greedily began trying on some rings they look absolutely beautiful holding my hand out to see how they looked. A part of me desperately wanted to wear one but sadly they didn't fit my skinny fingers.

Another draw was filled with sunglasses, I couldn't help but send a lot of time looking into a nearby mirror checking each frame till, I settled with a thinned rimmed frame with a fading pink lenses in the shape of a square with curved corners putting them in my head.

Greedily exploring more I found a wardrobe of hand bags, opening another wardrobe filled with extremely sexy lingerie extremely tasteful, my body slowly began to heat up as I began imagining images of me wearing them, I slammed the wardrobe closed in embarrassment, 'Jesus why am I always thinking about this?'. I decided to stop exploring anymore and went back to meet Scarlet again.

Walking back into Paul's room Scarlet was waiting for me sitting on the bed, got up in shock "Emilia you look so beautiful!" she beamed.

"Thank you for the clothes! You have almost everything!" I smiled back at her.

"Yeah I know, I don't actually know what to wear or buy, I'm not very girly" she frowned.

"It's okay I'm not very girly either" I smiled back at her walking in, "by the way where can I put these?" I Held out my dirty clothes.

"I'll take them for you" she said walking towards me taking them from me, my body seized up unable to stop her taking it from me.

"Hmmm what's that odd smell" she spoke out as she headed towards a basket with my dirty clothes.

In slow motion I saw my panties fall on the floor. As she carried on taking a step it looked as if she didn't notice. I began running towards it trying to kick it under the bed. "Ohh I dropped one" she said bending down to pick it up.

I quickly changed my trajectory and dove into the bed face first into the sheets, hiding my face for the upcoming revelation. "My God panties are so wet, and the smell is so strong" she spoke out, I could literally feel my face turn red again, I refused to lift my face from embarrassment refusing to acknowledge her. I heard her dump my clothes into the basket and the sound of her opening the wardrobe and then closing it.

"Put these on and let's go, I'll be waiting outside, come out when you're ready" she chuckled leaving something next to me and walked out the door.

I took a small peep making sure she left the room before I lift myself off the bed, 'can my day get any worse?' I huffed. Looking at the items Scarlet left me, there was a pair of studded diamond earrings, and elegant small golden watch and the School badge Ashley made me. Slowly putting them on preparing myself mentally for the upcoming grilling, I stood up and walked out the room.

Scarlet looked at me with an extremely large grin, "You forgot your food" she said to me before I closed the door.

"Ohh crap" I went back inside to pick up the food Paul left me and walked out again.

"Something on your mind? Emilia?" Scarlet looked at me winking.

I looked down on the floor unable to answer her filled with embarrassment, "Maybe someone we both know?" she carried on teasing me, my face feeling like it was going to explode out of embarrassment. "Okay Okay I'll Stop" she chuckled as we began to walk. "Ohh and you're going to be needing these" she held out two small bags to me, "now one bag is filled with 100 Platinum coins and the other 100 Gold coins, One platinum is equal to 1000 gold, you'd want to start a bank account and deposit the Platinum into it for safe keeping in case you want to buy something expensive, most things are sold in Silver and Gold so keep the gold on you and maybe exchange one platinum for gold to buy anything you want." she explained.

"Thanks" I quietly thanked her, as she began toss them to me, finding it tricky to catch as I didn't want to look into her eyes.

"Funny…..you also picked Paul's favorite color Mint green." She said giggling at the situation.

A part of me began dreading my decision to follow my gut feeling in picking out this damn dress.

"I wonder how he would react if he saw you in it, he might just give you some more attention" she giggled.

The vision of Calista and Paul burning in my brain I needed to ask Scarlet to put my mind at ease,"By the way….. We saw Calista yesterday she said she had a date with Paul…..is it true?...." I hesitantly questioned her.

"Calista? Nah, he's just personally tutoring her because her dad has extended him some special privileges." Scarlet answered.

It felt like a huge weight was lifted of my shoulders, "Thank god for that." I replied.

"Relieved are you Em's..... That's interesting? Don't worry his heart belongs to only one girl" She said winking at me.

We walked out the building, a large group of students were amassed around the world tree, as we began walking towards there. I saw multiple student interrupt their own conversations and looked towards us pointing making a huge commotion. It looks as if they were all excited to see Scarlet in person.

"Emilia over here!" I heard a familiar voice shout out to me, a student waving to catch my attention, it was Jay with another girl.

"Ohhhh I guess this is good bye then!" Scarlet Smiled.

"Thanks for everything" I said smiling back at her, I motioned to hug her.

A big smile appeared on her face as she gleefully hugged me tightly quickly and quickly backed off ".... Thank you for hugging me….. The few people I get to hug is Ashley and Paul…. It means a lot" she started to tear up a little, "I Know you might have not enjoyed it but it really means a lot to me, Thank you Em's" She smiled and started to walk off.

"See you soon Scarlet!" I shouted out smiling unable to wave my body still recovering from her touch.

I began walking towards Jay, noticing people were still looking at me and whispering to each other.
