The secret side of me, I never let you see

Lucas Moore. Twenty-three. Pediatrician-in-training. I also was exposed to the SHV virus but don't worry, its not contagious.

[doppelgangerfran]

Fran hadn’t expected for the male to actually approach her but before she knew it, he was sitting next to her. She returned the smile, wondering when her other self would sober up enough that she would take back over. Someone would be in the shock of their life if she suddenly switched. “That may be the understatement of the year.” Her brows furrowed slightly at his accent, trying to place it. “You’re not from around here, are you?” She asked rather dumbly, feeling like it’d be rude to just flat out ask him where he was from. “I’m Fran.”

[lucasthedopple]

“You would think there would be there more fun things to do in a town where magic exists.” He said, chuckling softly before motioning for the bartender to bring him another beer. Popping the top off and taking a swig, he couldn’t help but chuckle at her sudden curiosity. “I’m originally from England. I came here about two years ago to visit some family and fell in love. I’m quite glad my accent has managed to stay. They say you lose it after a while.” He said, holding out his hand for her to shake. “Its lovely to meet you, Fran. I’m Brady.” 

[doppelgangerfran]

Fran sighed, glancing around the bar for some company. She had gotten used to ending up in bars when her doppel started drinking. Eyeing up a male seated across the bar from her, she gave him a slight smile before taking a sip from her glass.

[lucasthedopple]

Brayden was currently sitting at the bar where his counterpart worked and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of calm. Sure, no one knew him but he knew everyone there. Lucas had been showing an interest in a blonde bombshell and just like always, he chickened out and Brady had to take over. She turned out to be just as dumb as she looked and he quickly dismissed her. No sooner had he said goodbye he made eye contact with a girl across the bar and before he knew it, he was sitting next to her and smiled. “Are you as bored as I am?” He asked, his accent thick but low in the noisy bar.

Frannie sighed, listening to Lucas’s words. When she had finally found the right words he said he had to leave. “No, that’s okay. I understand. Get to class.” She murmured, moving from her spot to kiss his cheek quickly. “Thanks for coming over last night…” She trailed off, settling back against her pillow. “And for not freaking out this morning.”

[lucasthedopple]

“I’ll call you later and we can get some dinner and talk about this some more if you want.” He said, grabbing his stuff and heading for the door. Whens he kissed his cheek, he felt his heart flutter but he remained stoic, not wanting to give it away that he liked it. “You’re welcome, Frannie. I wouldn’t be a very good friend if I let you walk home alone. Or let you sleep alone. I’m just sorry that Brady pulled this stunt.” He confessed, giving her a small smile before closing the door behind him. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Why didn’t you just tell her how you felt?

At the mention of Michael, Frannie’s gaze quickly dropped as she fell silent. She remained that way until she heard Lucas’s voice again. “I think if I had found someone else, I’d be with them… I haven’t exactly had the best luck either in my one relationship.” She sighed quietly, rubbing her temples. “A confession? What was it?”

[lucasthedopple]

Lucas chuckled and shook his head, running his fingers through his hair. “Its not going to happen overnight, Fran. I mean, the right person for us is out there and we just haven’t found them yet. But why shouldn’t you put yourself out there? I think you’re letting the guilt you feel keep you from experiencing anything new with someone.” He confessed, grabbing his shirt and slipping it over his head. “I don’t remember. Part of the whole doppleganger swap thing.” He lied, shrugging his shoulders. He didn’t want to leave but he still had classes to attend. “I hate to leave but uh, I have class.”

Continuing to listen as Lucas spoke, Frannie looked around, trying to decide on clothes before pausing to swallow a pill for her achy head. “Wait… You think… That wasn’t my first time… Remember?” She flushed before frowning at the rememberance of that particular conversation. “What’s the point in hiding it? Our friendship may be good but what’s to say that… That… Wouldn’t be better?” She realized she couldn’t come up with a word because she didn’t know what he would actually want. Slipping back into bed, she blushed again at his words. “That’s it?” She asked, going quiet for a few moments. “I normally don’t even kiss people while drunk.”

[lucasthedopple]

“No, I know it wasn’t your first time. I just meant it was your first time since Michael. So it might as well be.” He smiled, biting his lip at her words. “I don’t know honestly. I mean, I’ve entertained the idea of what it might be like to date you but then I realize that I’m not boyfriend material and you’d be better off with someone who could treat you like you deserve.” He confessed, shrugging his shoulders. “I haven’t had the best luck with relationships and I definitely don’t want to chance ruining what we’ve got.” He smiled weakly, rubbing the back of his neck at her persistence. “I might have made a confession that is similiar to what you told me you felt.”

A soft blush formed on Frannie’s cheeks the more he spoke, listening quietly. A darker blush formed as she took her bra from Lucas. “Thanks.” She murmured, sliding the straps up before reaching around to clasp it, stopping and looking up when she heard his words. “Your… Your… He’d do that?” Her face paled, too shocked to process it fully. Her mind barely caught the last words. “Unfortunately? ” She questioned before looking away, biting down on her bottom lip. “I clearly wanted it to be you.” She murmured before finally spotting her robe. Glancing up to make sure he wasn’t looking, she hurried out of bed to grab her robe and put that on, tying it at her waist before moving to her dresser. Grabbing out a fresh pair of panties, she quickly slid those on before making sure her robe was still in place. She took note of how sore she was, her cheeks heating up again. “Uh… ” She started. “What was it that you said to me last night? I can remember bits and pieces but not… Everything.”

[lucasthedopple]

At her question, he shrugged, biting his lip. “I guess so. I don’t really know what triggers him. I mean, he’s only been out a few times before so I can’t say honestly. I’d like to think he wouldn’t but I don’t know him, you know? He’s a part of me but he’s a completely different person and its  scary to think that he would do that. I, um, I’m very sorry about all this. I didn’t want your first time to be like this.” He said, running a hand through his hair. He chuckled as she caught the last word and nodded. “We might be best friends but I’d be an idiot to not find you attractive or want to have sex with you. But I also don’t want to ruin the good thing we have going so I keep my admiration for you to myself.” He confessed, stratching his head. He didn’t say anything when she confessed she wanted it to be him but he couldn’t help the smile that crossed his face. He nodded and turned around to look at her. “I called you beautiful and perfect and that I’m so glad you’re in my life.” He lied, hoping it was good enough for her.

Frannie’s brows furrowed as Lucas spoke, her lips pursing for a few moments as she tried to remember what had happened. “Then who was it, Lucas? You never left.” Her voice trembled slightly on the words, not even wanting to think about how that was possible. “It’s not taking advantage of me if I wanted to do it…” She ducked her head, feeling her cheeks flame. It was pretty obvious that she wasn’t the type to sleep around. The fact that he was a doppelganger didn’t cross her mind. “If it wasn’t you, then…” She squinted, trying to remember the rest of the few memories she had before her blush turned darker. Deciding it was best to just not speak it, she bit down into her bottom lip. “You know I don’t do this kind of thing…” She wanted to continue but was too afraid of the possible rejection. At the same time, she knew he wouldn’t lie to her. “And why did you wake up naked next to me?” She pulled the sheet closer to her before sitting up to look around for her clothes, feeling more and more mortified as it sunk in.

[lucasthedopple]

Watching her brow furrow, he bit his lip, rubbing the back of his head. “I, um, I promise it wasn’t me. I’m sure I would remember sleeping with you. I remember coming over to sit with you until you fell asleep, I said something nice to you,” He said, making sure not to reveal exactly what that was. “You kissed me and I said I couldn’t take advantage. And then nothing. That’s all I remember.” He whispered, sitting down on the edge of the bed. He racked his brain, trying to think of anything but the obvious choice. He didn’t want to fathom the idea that his doppleganger would have taken control and slept with his crush. At her questions, he shrugged, turning around to look at her, his eyes quickly scanning her body before turning around. “I, um, I think this is yours.” He blushed, handing the bra to her. “I think the only possible solution to be had here was that in your drunken state, you probably assumed my doppleganger was me.” He explained, rubbing the back of his neck. “I don’t like it any more than you do but unfortunately, it wasn’t me.”

It was finally a peaceful sleep for Frannie - wondering if Lucas had anything to do with it. Feeling a sudden chill in her sleep, she unconsciously pressed closer to the male. She usually didn’t wake up too easily but when she hit a lighter point in her sleep, she felt someone tap her. Squinting against the dim morning light, blue eyes slowly took in Lucas’s naked form first before finally turning her head to look up at him. “Umm…. Did we-…” She trailed off, blushing as she reached for the sheet to wrap around herself before moving away from him slowly. She cringed slightly when she felt the ache in between her legs. “That answers that question….” She muttered, pressing her lips together before remembering that Lucas had been sober. “I guess that’s one way to show you how much I like you.” She blushed again, sinking into her pillow and feeling oddly empty without any contact towards him. Her gaze traveled to him, watching his expression carefully. “Oh God, you’re regrerring it. Aren’t you?”

[lucasthedopple]

When Frannie woke up, he felt a sense of dread start to overtake him. He backed away from her, grabbing the blankets to wrap around himself. He felt her eyes on him and he blushed, biting his lip. “It looks that way.” He whispered, racking his brain as he tried to remember if they’d had sex. The fact that she admitted she liked him didn’t even register as he scratched his head, looking down at his folded hands. He felt the sore muscles when he shifted in the bed and that only seemed to confirm that they had in fact, slept together. But he wasn’t drinking. He was sober. Surely he would remember sleeping with his crush? Right? When she lay back on the bed, he took that opportunity to search for him pants, quickly slipping them on before standing up. “I, um, I don’t know if I can regret something I didn’t do.” He said, looking over at her. “I don’t think it was me you had sex with, Frannie. I wouldn’t have taken advantage of you like that.”

Smiling once again, Frannie contently sighed. “I’m holding you to that.” In all reality, she’d barely remember this conversation. Resting her head back down on Brady’s chest, she stilled her fingers, trying to focus on the feel of a body against her own. She let herself start to drift off, finally worn out and feeling safe enough to actually sleep.

[lucasthedopple]

Lucas was way to warm to wake up this morning. He knew he had to be at the clinic at 9am but checking the clock on his wall said it was only 7:30. I’ve got time, he told himself and was settling back under the covers when his mind focused enough to feel the hand on his chest. He felt his cheeks flush and he pulled the covers back and stared at the naked form of Frannie. He sighed, biting his lip before checking... yep he was naked too. Shit, he thought, this isn’t good. He knew he should wake her but she looked so peaceful, it was almost criminal. Finally he knew he had too and he lightly tapped her on the shoulder. “Um, Frannie? Uh, wake up.”

The blonde nodded at his words, automatically moving closer to him. “Just as long as you’re here when I wake up.” She murmured, pecking his lips. “It’s not pathetic. She definitely missed out though. Oh well, her loss is my gain?” She didn’t want to rush him but she doubted he’d just sleep with her just to do it. “Remind me to tell you how much I like. I want to be sober.” She murmured, closing her eyes as she brought a hand to his chest and pulled her sheets around them.

[lucasthedopple]

He closed the gap and wrapped his arms around her, his chest against hers. “Where else would I go? I’m looking forward to waking up next to you.” He whispered, kissing her nose and then her forehead. “Yeah, definitely your gain.” He whispered, playing along with her imagination. Brady didn’t date and she’d be in for a rude awakening when Lucas freaked out on her in the morning. “I think we can take care of all that in the morning. I’ll make you breakfast in bed and we can call in sick to work and I’ll make you forget those 8 years of celibacy.” He smirked, scooting closer and closing his eyes, his consciousness drifting away as Lucas came back to the forefront.

“That sounds perfect, Lucas.” Frannie still hadn’t realized the man laying next to her wasn’t him. “I’m looking forward to it.” She replied against his lips. “Possibly. Maybe once I sober up a little bit.” She replied, kissing Brady again. “What were you cuddling?”

[lucasthedopple]

He rolled his eyes once his head was turned, his annoyance at her suddenly overpowering his want of her. All he could think about was the humilation she would feel once she was sober and realized it wasn’t Lucas she’d given herself to. He would relish in the digust she would surely feel. “Okay babe. Sounds like a plan. But for now, hows about we just cuddle and rest? I think you need to sleep some of the alcohol off.” He grinned, turning to face her, his fingers ghosting across her stomach. “I had a body pillow and when she didn’t want to cuddle, or left after we fooled around, I would hug it all night.” He confessed, burying his face in his hands. “Pathetic huh?”

[doppelgangerfran]

[doppelgangerfran]

Frannie chuckled softly, tracing his chest with a finger. “It was some amazing sex.” She winked, smiling as she returned the kiss. “And you’re a fantastic kisser.” She trailed off, kissing him again. “Mmm… Looks like I found him.” She winked again. “Cuddling after sex is amazing. And it means it’s always easy to go for a round two… Or so I’ve been told.” She trailed off. “Why would it be embarrassing? I think naked cuddling is pretty sexy.” She spoke quietly, bringing her lips to his ear.

[lucasthedopple]

“Well I’m glad you approve, babe. Perhaps this means we’ll have to try again when you’re sober then. I wanted to give you what you wanted but next time, I’ll definitely take it slow and drive you even more crazy.” He teased, nibbling on her earlobe before leaning over and kissing her on the lips. “You’re not so bad yourself either.”  At the mention of a round two he raised his eyebrows. “Is that you’re way of saying you’re up for it? I know I would be.” He teased, returning the kiss she was eagerly giving him. He chuckled and shook his head. “I wasn’t cuddling a person.” He whispered, feeling a shiver run up his spine.

At first his words had caught her off guard but her mind didn’t retain them long enough for her to be able to say anything. “You will, huh?” She asked, smiling again when he wrapped his arms around her. Resting her head on his chest, she listened to his words before pressing a kiss to his chest. “I think I may have you beat on that. It’s been eight years since I woke up in someone’s arms.”

[lucasthedopple]

“Of course. Its only fair given that I made you cut your evening short and had sex with you in your inebriated state.” He teased, running his fingers up and down her arm, crinkling his nose before leaning down to kiss her softly. “But you were waiting for the right person to come along. My ex never wanted to cuddle after we fooled around and so its literally been 3 years. I can’t admit what I cuddled because its too embarrassing.”

Frannie grinned shyly at Brady’s remark back, whimpering slightly as he pulled out of her. “Mmm… Me too.” Turning on her side as he threw out the condom, she smiled once again when he joined her and pulled her close, her smile wavering slightly at his compliment. “I’m not that great.” She replied quietly, biting down on her bottom lip. “But thank you.” She leaned up and pecked his lips again. “You’ll stay all night?”

[lucasthedopple]

“Don’t see yourself short, beautiful. I’ve never finished that quickly before. It must be you then.” He grinned, quickly realizing what he said and hoping that she didn’t catch on. For someone supposed to be someone else, he sure wasn’t doing a great job. Seeing her smile was definitely something new to him and for a second, he forgot that he was supposed to be indifferent towards it all. “Well I think you are. Even if you don’t think so. I’ll just have to prove it to you.” Ugh, it hurt to say those words and it tasted weird on his tongue. Wrapping his arms around her, he nodded. “All night. It’ll be the first time in a long time I’ve woken up in someone’s arms.”

[doppelgangerfran]

Squeezing his hands, Frannie couldn’t help but smile slightly at the intimacy, her own teeth quickly sinking into her bottom lip to attempt to muffle another moan. Lucas’s name quickly fell from her lips as she rode out her own orgasm.

When she had calmed down, she let her head fall against her pillow, still holding onto his hands. Leaning up just enough to peck his lips, she couldn’t but let her more naturally crooked smile show - she was drunk and didn’t really think about making her smile straight like she had for years. “So that’s what I’ve been missing all these years.” She let out a slightly nervous chuckle.

[lucasthedopple]

If he wasn’t in the final stages of an amazing orgasm, he would be annoyed at her for calling out Lucas’s name when she came. Lucas wouldn’t have the courage to do what he’ just done. He was the noble one in their symbiotic relationship and he didn’t do anything that went against his morals. Brady on the other hand, he often got what he wanted. It wasn’t ideal to sleep with a drunk girl but hey, she had initiated it so who was he to refuse? Granted, she did think he was someone else but that was easily tolerable. 

When they were finally sated, he grinned down at her and brushed a strand of hair out of her face. “I’m glad to be the one to remind you.” He said, pulling out of her and tossing the condom into the trash. Usually he would leave once hte girl fell asleep but he wanted to see just how Lucas would react waking up in his crush’s arms and wondering if they’d had sex. He pulled her close and kissed her forehead. “You’re incredible.” He complimented, feeding into the facade that he was really Lucas. He didn’t need her sobering up too soon.

[doppelgangerfran]

Clinging to Brady as he scooped her up, Frannie brought her lips back to his, muffling her moans so that they didn’t bother anyone else in the apartment building. She didn’t really know what would happen with them after - not that she had the right mentality to properly think. Feeling herself get closer to the edge, she quickly met his thrusts, mumbling against his lips. “I’m close.” She wasn’t sure if he had heard her, the words still a little slurred despite her sobering up a little bit.

[lucasthedopple]

He returned her kiss, his hands running up and down her back as they kissed, his lips trailing down to her neck, his teeth grazing below her earlobe. He heard the moans and he sucked hungrily on her neck, his hips burning from overuse. When she said she was close, he sped up as fast as he could and lay her back down, grabbing her hands as he thrust deeper and harder, his own orgasm spilling out into the condom. He bit his lip and hoped that it would hold.
