– You know... I... I've been meaning to tell you that... – Scarlett spoke slowly, pausing as she twirled a silky strand of her chestnut hair around her finger, gazing into Jake's eyes with almost hypnotic tenderness.

Jake swallowed, not believing his ears. He stood frozen, like every muscle in his body had simultaneously refused to work. His knees were shaking, his hands clenched into sweaty fists, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it might burst through his chest. 'No way. Her? Saying this? To me?' – thoughts were swirling in his head like a raging whirlpool.

– I... I guess I'm being stupid... – Scarlett went on, taking a deep breath, as if trying to collect herself – but I can't keep this in any longer. I love you, Jake.

– Oh God… – Jake exhaled, his eyes turning glassy. – Scarlett… I… I do too! I've felt this for so long, I just… never believed it could actually happen. You're… you're so beautiful, so smart, and just…

He took a step toward her, as if in a trance. Scarlett, in that tight-fitting dress that hugged her curves and made her look even more irresistible, was perched on the sink, watching Jake, studying his face. Music from the ongoing party played faintly behind the bathroom door, along with distant voices. But Jake didn’t hear any of that anymore. He was in seventh heaven, because what he thought would never happen… just did. Scarlett herself – the Scarlett he'd dreamed of all his life, the one who’d never shown the slightest interest in him – had finally said it. He knew.

But he didn’t even get to finish that stream of thoughts, staring at her with wildly loving eyes, when she suddenly burst out laughing – loudly, way too loudly.

– You… you’re serious? – Scarlett didn’t even try to hold back her laughter, throwing her head back and wiping away tears of mirth. – God, Jake, that was… that was even better than I expected! Like some cheesy shit out of a chick flick!

Jake froze in place. The words that had just been burning in his chest now seemed to flare up even more – but in a totally different way. He blinked several times, not understanding what was happening.

– Scarlett?.. – he mumbled, feeling his heart clench – What… what are you talking about?

She suddenly straightened, and for a moment, a mocking seriousness flashed across her face – then another wave of laughter hit.

– Oh, buddy… You seriously didn’t recognize me? – Her voice changed sharply – it dropped, turned rougher, with something painfully familiar in it. – It’s me, Max.

– M… Max?! – Jake recoiled like he’d been punched. – W-what the hell are you talking about? What Max?! What kind of fucked-up joke is this?!

– No joke, Jake. – She crossed her legs, and the hem of her dress slid up higher, baring her round thighs. – Remember that night in the basement, when I told you I found some “crazy-ass device” on the black market for bio-interfaces? Yeah. I decided to give you a demo. By possessing Scarlett...(full story (9 300 characters - 3 parts) is open to subscribers)
