waiting

Marrion was confused by this situation who wouldn't be? 2 Claire? and does this have to do with a boy named Steve?

the only logical thing was that the two had locked themselves in the room to clarify the current situation, after all she hated the confusion and at least her friend... no now her two friends will have time to discuss and then give her an answer... as sensible as possible.

So Marrion sat down and waited.....

Marrion was tired of waiting the two Claires had been in the damn room for a good half hour! how long did they want to argue?!

Marrion looking around noticed a refrigerator and said to herself that if she had to wait for them she might as well nibble on something.

she opened the refrigerator I found some sandwiches wrapped in plastic, many sauces, some ready meals to heat in the microwave and I noticed a solitary bottle with a simple alphanumeric label.

she took the sandwich and the bottle and sat on the sofa.

the bottle actually looked like a container for certain chemicals or medicines but the label didn't indicate any highlighted dangers.

she put it on the table but decided not to open it and anyway at that moment the sandwich was more tempting.

meanwhile in the bedroom Claire and Claire(steve) were panting and naked on the bed.

Claire(steve): I wasn't the only one who needed it.

Claire: this is really problematic you know? it will be like the fourth time today.

Claire: I see.. wait 4? I only gave in 3 times, did you have to go and masturbate 2 times?

Claire totally red: I... I could have had sex with someone.

Claire(steve): damn, you could have infected them, in fact it's almost certain that you did!

Claire: We can't know, there could be a chance that their immune system...

Claire(steve): In the samples I brought to the lab the virus was everywhere, every cell, every drop of saliva even in.. our juices. The virus has completely taken over the immune system doesn't even see it as a threat, I don't think we have a fever we just go into heat so strong that it seems like it.

Claire: Everywhere? Is this impossible?

Claire(steve): But explain how it's possible that I'm me, I mean only something like that could reconstruct a real body from scratch?

Claire: Damn.

Claire(steve): Who did you infect?

Claire: A middle-aged anorexic guy on my way to work and... no the other one had protection so he shouldn't be infected.

Claire(steve): So we'll have another Claire around in like a day? Damn you couldn't... no we can't do it right?

Claire: I'm sorry I turned you for the same reason.

Claire(steve): I know... I think we need to organize ourselves so that we can fuck each other as much as possible so as to avoid giving in to these impulses with others, the new us should contact us somehow when it completely transforms if we're lucky it will have enough common sense not to get caught and infect others.

Claire: I'm sorry, for this... for what I did to you.

Claire(steve): Don't cry, you know I like being you, more than anything I'm afraid of how our life would change if there were... more of us.

Claire: At least I managed to recover a sample of the virus, in the afternoon I could take it to the university and study it.

Claire(steve): and we have someone who can help us. wait how long have we been here?

Claire: oh fuck Marrion! is she still in the apartment right?

Claire(steve): yes I think it's time to give her an explanation.

the two claires lingered for a second before exchanging a last kiss and getting dressed.

they left the room only to see Marrion on the couch fiddling with a bottle.

Claire: shit! Marrion put it down right now!

the sudden scream frightened Marrion, causing him to drop the sample from his hand, Marrion managed to catch it as he fell but ended up landing on the floor with his fist crushing the bottle and breaking it.

the glass got stuck in Marrion's hand and the virus in the wound.

Marrion infected, new carrier of the disease (she will not transform into Claire but will transform others into her clones)
