Living, Breathing Dream

I could hear Mrs. Smith talking, but it was going in one ear and out the other. Her monotone was putting most of the class to sleep. Alexz, the red head with brilliant blue eyes, and a body that would knock you off your feet, was the only other person awake. She was the closest thing to perfection that this town would ever see.1

“Blair!” Mrs. Smith was yelling, “Why aren’t you paying attention?”2

“Because she’s to busy daydreaming about Alexz,” a voice carried over to me from across the room. I looked up, to see Alexz’s attention turn to Nick, and then her gaze fell on me. Her skin was no longer its beautiful ivory tone, but was now a bright red similar to that of her hair.3

Have I forgotten to mention that I’m bisexual; that everyone knows it, and that most of the town hates me because of it? As if that wasn’t enough I’m also a wiccan and rather than listen and understand the religion most everyone just assumed that I was the evil witch from Sleeping Beauty, Snow White or some other fairy tale.4

“I’m sorry Mrs. Smith what was the question?” I asked with sarcasm dripping from every word.5

“What is the answer to the problem on the board?” she repeated.6

One glance at the board and a scribble on my paper and I had the answer, “X such that X is less than or equal to negative eight.”7

Mrs. Smith’s smile faded as she nodded. She was no different than the rest of the town she couldn’t stand me. Before she had time to say anything else the bell rang. The students rushed from the room like a heard of cattle. I shoved my arms into the sleeves of my jacket, a hot topic hoodie that clung to my skin like elastic, grabbed my backpack and started to walk out of the room, paying more attention to my shoes than anything else.8

Just before I reached the door I ran into someone, knocking us both down. I looked up to see Alexz on her knees reaching out to pick up the papers that dropped out of her notebook when she fell.9

“I’m sorry,” I muttered as my gaze fell on her cleavage and the black lace bra that contrasted deeply with her skin. I tore my gaze away before she could notice she was already turning red again. I picked up the remaining papers off the floor and standing up handed them to her.10

“Like I said, sorry I should have been watching where I was going.”11

Mrs. Smith had already stepped out into the hall so we were alone in the room. “It’s okay,” she said looking me straight in the face, “It wasn’t your fault.”12

“Right you just ran into me on purpose I so believe that,” I chuckled.13

“Actually,” she looked away again.14

I blinked, once, twice, three times, “Wait you did?”15

“Yeah, you see I wanted to talk to you,” she pulled a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to me. “Can you meet me this afternoon at that address around five?”16

I took the paper and nodded, totally speechless. She walked out of the room, I unfolded the paper and read,17

013 on Jackson Street18

Blair,
Could you please meet me at the above address, I wish to talk to you regarding your religion, I don’t believe the rumors about it being a cult and would like to find out more, I hope you trust me enough to meet me there, but if not I understand.
Alexz19


I looked at the paper for a minute, then folded it up and put it in my pocket. I’d go, what was the worst that could happen? No sooner had I thought that than I wished I hadn’t. It could be bad, it could be horrible, but I’d handle it. If there was a chance that she wasn’t like everyone else I had to look into, my
heart wouldn’t rest till I did.20

*******************************later that day******************************21

I pulled into my driveway, and parked in my garage. My car, a 2006 Dodge Viper black with baby blue flames pinstriped on it, was my pride. It was the most popular car at the school. Only because they didn’t know it was mine, I was the first person to school in the mornings, and left before anyone else got out of class. The gossip however that that car attracted was unbelievable. I had actually seen people take pictures with it and post it on their myspace, trying to look cool. In two weeks however I’d have one better, a 2008 Dodge Challenger, black with red racing stripes.22

I lowered the garage door and went in the house. As I was searching the fridge for something I could cook fast I heard a car pull up out side and park. I stood up with four eggs in hand as Amanda came walking in the front door.23

“Hey, you want some eggs or do I need to put two of these back?” I asked as she sat her bag down by the end of the couch. Amanda had been my best friend forever, the first and hardest person that I told I was bi. We were close as sisters; we shared everything, cloths, shoes, and now a house.24

“Sounds good to me, sunny side up?” she replied walking into the kitchen. The house wasn’t really that big. Three bedrooms left us with an extra room even with Jason, her boyfriend and soon to be husband, living with us. The house was really mine, but she gave me half of the payment for it each month and called it rent. No I’m not rich, never have been, I just happen to have a great job, and a great boss. I work for the biggest law office in town as a secretary. Andrew Stone, my boss, was actually the one responsible for my car; it had been his son’s before he dropped out. Andrew had sold it to me for about half of what it was worth, and had gotten it repainted as a Christmas bonus last year.25

I pulled a pan out of the dishwasher and Amanda turned the TV onto XM hitlist. Katy Perry’s “I Kissed A Girl” came blaring out of the speakers; grabbing her ears Amanda turned it down to a dull roar. I started singing, cracked the first two eggs into the skillet and put two pieces of bread in the toaster. I finished cooking, put Amanda’s eggs on a plate with her toast, and sat it on the table. By now Katy Perry had gone off and had been replaced by Secondhand Serenade. I quickly ate my eggs and washed the plate. I picked up my keys off the counter and started out the door.26

“Where are you going?” Amanda’s voice was full of curiosity. 27

I turned around at the door, “Curiosity killed the cat you know but if you must know I have a meeting I’ll tell you more later,” and with that I walk out of the door.28

I started the car and Skillet started playing. I backed out of the driveway singing “Better than Drugs.” The drive wasn’t long; the address that Alexz had given me wasn’t but about six miles from my house. It was a little white town house, and sure enough Alexz’s Ford Mustang was parked outside. I pulled up beside her car and parked. I got out, locked the car, and walked to the front door. I lost my nerve upon reaching the door; I took a deep breath to calm myself and was just about to ring the doorbell when Alexz opened the door.29

“You came!” the excitement in her voice surprised me.30

“Did you really think that I wouldn’t?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.31

She just looked at me for a minute, I wasn’t much to look at I was five foot seven, and slim, I ran track my freshman year, and played soccer my sophomore year. My hair was straight and black, with blue tips.32

“Won’t you come in?” she asked stepping aside. I walked in side and felt out of place with in seconds. My house stayed neat but this place was spotless.33

There was an awkward silence, which I broke of course. I pulled her note out of my pocket held it up and asked, “What was with the formality of this thing?”34

She blushed, just a pink tint rather than the red shade from class, “Nerves, I didn’t want to scare you out of coming.”35

I laughed, “Well now that you see you didn’t do that, ask away, what is it you want to know about Wicca?”36

“Everything,” she said sitting down.37

Wow, that was specific, now where to start? “Well what do you know already?” I asked sitting down next to her.38

“Not much, just that it’s a nature worshipping religion, that believes in both the god and goddess.”39

I smiled, that was more than most people around here knew. Amanda, Jason, and me were the only wiccans in the county. “That’s a good start, and about all that I can really tell you truthfully. However you have to understand that we believe in one divine spirit, not two, the god and goddess are just two different faces.”40

She nodded, I continued, “We aren’t going to try to convert anyone, we don’t care what you believe because we believe that all religions have at least a grain of the truth in them. We do have a code The Wiccan Rede that says that and ye harm none do what ye wilt.”41

“I found that in some research I did on it,” Alexz said.42

She had been researching it, man the surprises today just didn’t want to end. “Can I ask why do you want to know so much about Wicca anyway?”43

“Not sure really, it just kinda caught my attention. So do you’ll go to like church?”44

I chuckled again, “Well we can, and I mean I’ve gone to churches in the past, do we have them no. We can legally build them we are a legitimate religion, but we don’t. We do have something like a mass though. We do full moon, and new moon rituals.” I stopped, what time was it? I looked at my watch, five thirty. At that same time my cell phone rang. 45

It was Amanda; I answered it, “Hello?”46

“Where are you?”47

“I’m headed back, I know it’s unusual but I’m bringing someone.”48

“Who?” Jason half asked, half demanded.49

“Don’t worry about it, just someone interested, see you in a few,” and with that I hung up the phone.50

“Who was that?” Alexz asked calmly.51

“Amanda and Jason,” I answered. “The other members of my coven. We’re doing a full moon ritual tonight if you want to come watch you can.”52

She hesitated, “You don’t have to participate, but you can learn a lot more than I can tell you this way if you really want to know.”53

“Let me get my jacket,” she got up and walked down the hallway. I followed her fishing my keys out of my pocket. I stopped outside what I assumed was her bedroom. She came back out a second later putting on a leather jacket as she walked. 54

“I’ll drive you in my car, it’ll be faster,” I said walking out the door. 55

She walked out behind me, and locked the door. I was half way to my car when I heard the gasp of surprise. “That’s your car?”56

I turned, “Yeah, I bought it from my boss, a year ago.” I unlocked the car and opened the door. Alexz ran around to the other side and opened the door.57

“Damn, who’s your boss?”58

“Andrew Stone.”59

“The lawyer?” 60

“The one and only, he sold it to me half price, he had no use for it, it had been his son’s then he dropped out and Andrew took it back,” I explained.61

“How much was the paint job?”62

“I don’t know, Andrew paid for it, it was a Christmas bonus last year.”63

When the car started, Nickelback started playing. I turned the volume down so that I could hear as I pulled out of Alexz’s driveway.64

“I don’t guess he’s hiring is he?”65

“I don’t think so, not unless he fires me or I quit which isn’t going to happen why?”66

“I need a job so that I can move out.”67

“You still live with you’re parents, where are they then?”68

“Business trip to Vegas, the left me here after I had to swear that I wouldn’t throw a party or have any guys over,” Alexz
explained.69

I pulled into my driveway, Jason had parked in the garage, and I was going to have to hurt him. Growling I parked in the drive.70

I killed the engine and Alexz and me got out of the car and headed for the house.71

No one was in the living room when I walked in. “I’m here!” I called.72

Amanda came running from their bedroom, and Jason came walking out of the bathroom.73

“Alexz?” the exclaimed in unison.74

“Yes, she wants to learn about Wicca, I told her she could come and watch,” I said. “Now I’m going to go get dressed. “Alexz, make yourself at home,” and with that I walked into my room. 75

I pulled my cloak out of my closet; it was a simple black cotton cloak with a blue pentacle embroidered above my heart. I took off my school clothes, and pulled on a pair of black pants and a blue tube top. I looked in the mirror, I looked really good for once, surprising. I slipped on the cloak and walked back out into the living room. 76

Alexz was sitting on the couch channel surfing, she looked up when she heard me walk in. “Nice outfit, what’s with the colors?”77

“The black is for protection, and the blue is to represent my element, water,” I replied. Then Amanda and Jason came walking in from the back yard. 78

“You ready?” Jason asked me, ignoring Alexz.79

“One second, Alexz come with me.” I turned and rushed into my room with Alexz behind me. I opened my closet back up and pulled out a black shirt, and a plain black robe. I tossed them to Alexz who was still wearing the button up white blouse that she had worn to school and a pair of black slacks.80

“What are these for?” she asked holding up the shirt.81

“Your protection, Wicca is safe usually, but you can never be to careful, and of course you’ll stay inside our circle,” I said. 82

Alexz started to unbutton her blouse, causing want to bubble through me. I turned to walk out of the room before I lost all self control. “Meet us in the back yard when you get dressed, we’ll wait for you.”83

“How can you be so sure, they don’t seem to be too happy about my being here,” she asked. 84

I turned around to see her pulling my T-shirt over her head. “Because I’m the coven mother, I have more authority than they do put together.”85

She was putting on the cloak now, “Coven mother? I thought it was the high priest and priestess?”86

“Amanda’s the high priestess, and Jason is the high priest, the coven mother is a more experienced witch that has achieved a balance between the masculine and famine halves of the spirit.” I walked over to Alexz who was having difficulty tying the cloak around her neck.87

I took the ties from hre and began to tie it for her. "Oh okay it makes sense I'd just never heard it before."88

"I'm glad," as I pulled the loops on the bow my hand brushed her neck. When it did she gasped. I jumped back, "I'm sorry."89

"Oh it's okay, it just caught me off guard," Alexz said as she pulled the loops in the bow.90

"Well we better come on before Amanda and Jason hurt me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Later after the Full Moon Ritual~~~~~~~~~~~~~~91

"Do you realize how cool that was for me?" Alexz asked as she untied the cloak from around her neck.92

"Very I'm sure, it's still cool for me, just feeling that connection to the goddess, and everything else around me." 93

I had already removed my cloak, so I just stood there talking to her as she changed out of my black t-shirt back into her white blouse.94

“What time is it anyway?” Alexz asked looking at the walls for a clock.95

Turning to look at my bedside table I said, “It’s 8:30, would you like me to take you home now?”96

“Well yeah I think I’d better before I get on Amanda and Jason’s nerves to much more,” Alexz laughed.97

I laughed too, she didn’t get that they just weren’t that open about their religion. They didn’t let just anyone get close to them. “They’re warming up to you slowly but surely. They just don’t like to let a lot of people get close.”98

“Oh,” she finished buttoning her shirt. “Well I guess we should go then?”99

“Yeah,” I picked up my keys off of my bedside table and turned to walk out of my room. Amanda was sitting on the couch watching MTV they were doing a show about the ten most famous stripper songs of the 80’s. “I’m going to take Alexz back home.”100

Amanda nodded. Alexz was already headed out the door, I followed her. I unlocked the car and Alexz climbed in on the passenger side.101

I started the car and you could hear Bryan White as the radio started to play. I slowly backed out of the driveway. The blue street glow that I had installed around the console lit up keeping the inside of the car just bright enough for me to see Alexz’s perfectly sculpted face.102

“Do you mind if I ask you something?”103

“Not at all,” I had no clue where Alex’s questions were coming from but didn’t really mind I didn’t have any real secrets.104

“How did you realize that you were bi?” Alexz was looking me dead in the face.105

That one caught me off guard, “What do you mean realize?”106

“Well what was it that made you start to like girls?” 107

“Well this has to be the most awkward moment of my life,” I managed to force the words out.108

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”109

“It’s not you it’s just that I’ve never been asked that question before,” I paused, took a deep breath and went on. “I guess it would have to have been when I realized that all I really wanted out of life was to be happy, that it didn’t really matter who it was that made me happy.”110

“Well yeah that makes sense, with love being so hard to find these days. True love I mean not a guy that says they love you…”111

“And then ditches you for some bitchy blonde with a strippers body?” I offered up.112

“Exactly, not the words I was going to use but same thing.”113

I laughed, “Okay, now it’s my turn to ask you a question.”114

“Shoot.”115

“What on the goddess’s green earth caused you to ask me that of all things, and I want a truthful answer. I’ll know if you lie to me.” She blushed again; even in the near darkness of my car I could tell it. “Well, come on now I answered you what is it?”116

She took a deep breath, “I think that I might be bisexual.”117

I almost slammed on the brakes, “What?”118

“I think I might be bisexual,” she repeated, blushing to an even deeper red now.119

“Have you told anyone else this?”120

“No, just you,” of course she hadn’t why would she? All of her friends were preps, bitchy backstabbing traders.121

“But why just me,” I had to ask her logic made no sense to me. “I mean I’m not going to tell anyone but how can you be so sure that you can trust me?”122

“Because I needed to know, and I figured that you could help.”123

I pulled into her driveway and parked. “So you would risk everyone finding out just to know for sure?”124

She opened the car door, “Yes.” She stepped out, then stuck her head back in through the window, “Would you like to come in?”
I could see an almost pleading look in her eyes, or maybe I was wrong but I still killed the engine and opened my door.125

Locking the doors, I followed her to the door. She snapped as she reached the door. “What?”126

“I forgot my key, oh well I’ll use the spare.” She picked up a rock from the ground by the steps. She pulled it apart, removed the key from inside it, and unlocked the door. 127

“Well that’s handy,” I laughed as she placed the key back in the plastic rock and placed it back on the ground. 128

“Yeah, I forget to bring my key with me a lot.”129

“Hey if I ever decide to stalk you I know how to get in,” the laughter in my voice kept me from sounding completely and totally crazy.130

“That all depends on perspective. Personally I think that the best stalker is the one that can be at someone’s beckoning call, and still seem to be unattainable,” she sounded totally serious as she opened the door and turned on a light. 131

When she turned around where I could see her as I walked in the door I couldn’t place the look she had on her face. It was almost intentionally hypnotic. 132

“Well maybe I would make a good stalker then,” I laughed. “Oh and by the way I do have one more question to ask you.” She nodded. “What is it that makes you think that you might be bisexual?” 133

“Well I don’t know maybe the fact that I’m in love with someone that doesn’t even know I’m alive?”134

I laughed again, “Well for one thing I don’t see how that is possible, and for another that doesn’t mean that you’re bi.”135

“It does if it’s a girl,” she said as she turned and walked down the hall to what I assumed was her bedroom.136

I just stood there for a minute trying to understand why I thought that I heard an almost seductive sound to her voice. Then I followed her down the hall and stopped at the doorway with a slight feeling of déjà vu. 137

I could hear what I thought was music coming through the closed door, although I couldn’t for the life of me tell what it was.138

“Well that’s a really nice way to treat your guests,” I called through the door.139

All I could here as far as a reply was her laughing. “What’s so funny huh?”140

“Nothing just that you have no earthly idea do you?”141

“Nope I’m clueless, why?” Laughter again. “Oh come on aren’t you going to answer me?”142

“Nope.”143

“Oh you’re not nice are you?” 144

Laughter again, then, “You can just open the door you know.” I turned the doorknob and opened the door.145

The room was almost pitch black, the only light was coming from her computer screen. She had the visualization put on full screen and Realize by Colbie Caillet was playing. Alexz was lying on her bed. I gasped at the sight, “Well come on, you’ve got to have realized who I’m talking about by now.” The seduction in her voice was obvious now.146

She sat up and looked at me with her blue eyes, the light from the flame on the computer screen made them stand out even brighter than before. “Don’t tell me that I’m wrong.”147

“Wrong about what, me liking you?” I asked, I thought that everyone knew it.148

“So you do?”149

I crossed the room in two steps, and had lifted her from the bed and into my arms. My lips crashed against hers as she opened her mouth readily letting my tongue in. Her hands came up around my neck and pulled my hair down from the ponytail holder I had had it in. As my hair fell down around my shoulders she started to pull me backwards so that we both fell onto her bed. I let my hands trace slowly over every inch of her body.150

Her hands slipped underneath my shirt and lifted it over my head and tossed it onto the floor. I started to unbutton her blouse from the bottom up, letting the tips of my finger glaze over her stomach, as I kissed her on the neck. The song switched to Breathe by Faith Hill as I undid the top button. I moved from her neck down her arm as I completely removed her shirt.151

She took my face in her hands and brought my lips back to hers. I let my left hand entwine in her hair as my right slide under her and began to unhook her bra. Her back arched, pushing her up against me. Removing her bra, I moved once again from her mouth down to her neck, and then to her breasts. I took her nipple into my mouth and began to lick around it as I unfastened her slacks152

Her hands fluttered around trying to undo my bra, with little success. I pulled her slacks down around her knees as she finally managed to undo the last hook on my bra. I kissed my way down her stomach. My strapless bra fell from around me as I moved. I pulled her slacks off and dropped them onto the floor as I licked across the top of her punk pink thong. There was a sharp intake of breath from above me. I smiled as I pulled that off of her tossing it onto the floor as well, exposing her every inch to me. My tongue continued to graze across her skin as I moved further down. I felt her nails as she pressed them into my back causing me to gasp as she began to glide them up my back.153

I took her clit into my mouth pressing against it with my tongue, and the pulling it into my mouth with my teeth. She moaned as she wrapped my hair around her fingers. I moved on, licking around her vagina before I slowly slid my tongue inside of her. It was a taste like nothing else, with no words in the English vocabulary to describe it. 154

I could feel her back arching, but kept searching. I pushed my tongue in deeper and finally found it, her g-spot. The reaction was like nothing else, as she arched her back, lifted her pelvis pushing up against me, and spread her knees even further apart, a full on orgasm. 155

Smiling, I pulled back and started to ease my way back up until my lips had reached hers again. “Why did you stop?” she panted.156

I kissed her again before answering, “I’m just evil like that,” I laughed157

“Well you know what that’s calls for revenge right?” the glint in her eyes was so beautiful.158

“Do your worst,” I breathed into her mouth as I kissed her again. She pulled away and began to kiss me on the neck slowly creeping down as she unbuttoned my pants. Sliding them down just past my knees she took hold of my hips and rolled over pulling me along with her. 159

She started to lick between my breasts. Her tongue danced around, first circling my right breast and then left as she pulled my black lace underwear down to wear my pants were. Putting her weight on her hands and knees she straddled me and hooked my pants and underwear with her feet, and pushed them off of me as she slowly lowered her body back down on top of mine. 160

“Quite the talented person aren’t you?” I asked looking down to the top of her head.161

She glanced up at me and smiled, “You think so, surprising, I’ve never done this before.” She didn’t even wait for an answer before she took my right nipple into her mouth and began to lick around it. 162

I could feel my breathing starting to get heavier, as she let her hand skim down my left side. She stopped her hand on my hip, I moved my legs so that her hand slid to my inner thigh. She slipped it over closer to my vagina and let her thumb press up against my clit. The pressure was startling, her thin perfectly manicured hands were more powerful then I’d thought. She giggled at my gasp as she moved to my other breast. I felt her slowly, agonizingly slow, slide in one, two fingers. 163

I bit my lip in attempt to not moan, sure that she would stop as soon as I did. She slipped yet another finger in, and I felt my back start to arch, and my knees part welcoming her every touch. As she started to move in and out her thumb hitting my clit harder each time, I couldn’t stop the moan of pleasure from escaping me.164

She giggled again as she crawled back up straddling me again. I glared at her and gasped, “Oh yeah, I’m the evil one.”165

“I told you I’d get revenge,” she laughed as she said it. I lifted her up slightly and rolled us both over again.I kissed her on the mouth as my hand slid down closer and closer to her vagina. I played with her clit for a moment before slipping three fingers in, she gasped in surprise and I grinned in delight. ”What are you smiling at?”166

“You.” I pulled my hand back and shoved it into her again, as her back began to arch. She was nearing an orgasm when I completely removed my hand. She gave me a look, and I just winked before swiftly sliding down and taking her clit into my mouth. 167

“Oh,” she huffed. I sucked on it gently rubbing it with my tongue as I did so. Taking in complete joy as her breathing quickened, and her back arched even more lifting her pelvis off the bed again. I moved down again, thrusting my tongue into her finding her g-spot much quicker this time. 168

I placed both hand on her inner thighs and slowly began to push her legs apart little by little. Then let my hands glaze down her thighs till my thumbs were able to rub around were my mouth was. She moaned, the sound was long and drawn out. “Oh my god, you’re good at this,” she gasped each word.169

She wrapped her fingers up in my hear again, and pulled gently causing me to crawl back up licking her stomach as I did so. “Better?”170

“Yes, now it’s my turn,” the seductive glint in her eye turned me on more than she knew as she rolled over where she was on top of me. Before I new what she was doing she had four fingers inside of me, causing me to gasp for air. Her thumb slamming against my clit as she moved them in and out. 171

My arms rapped around her pulling her in closer, feeling her body against mine. I could feel her heartbeat, it was then that I notice that Better Than Drugs by Skillet was playing. So this was what it meant by addicted for life. I could have stayed there with her for the rest of my life. When I reached my height Alexz fell panting at my side, I kissed her neck and wrapped her in my arms.172

An alarm clock screeched by my head causing me to jump awake. It took me a minute to realize where I was, then Alexz came walking in with a towel wrapped around her and her hair wet. “Good morning my love,” her voice was sweet and sensual.173

“Wow, I didn’t mean to sleep over, oh well, it was worth it,” I smiled as memories from last night came flooding back. I looked over at the alarm clock, 6:30. “Do you care if I borrow you’re shower?”174

“Nope. It’s down the hall to you’re left.” I slipped out of the bed and stretched. Then walked over to Alexz and wrapped her in my arms again and kissed her. Then I pulled away and went to the bathroom. Stepping into the shower I was shocked by the ice cold blast that came from the shower head before the water warmed up. I found my self singing Better Than Drugs as I mentally relived last night. 175

Climbing out of the shower I pulled a towel down from the shelf and wrapped myself in it. Walking back down the hall to Alexz’s room. I opened the door to find her standing there in my blue tube top and slacks that I had worn yesterday. “Whew, sexy mama,” I laughed.176

“You care if I borrow it?” she asked.177

“Well know, but I do have to wear something you know.”178

She looked at me for a moment and then a smile spread across her face. She walked over to the side of the bed and picked up her white blouse and black pants from where I had dropped them last night. “You could wear mine.”179

I took them from her and began to scan the floor for my bra, “Don’t you think people might say something if I’m in your clothes that you wore yesterday?” I asked picking up her bra from the floor, “Are you wearing my bra too?”180

“Why don’t you come look?” she asked.181

I let my eyes quickly scan her body all the way down taking in every detail. “Well I would, but as soon as I did I wouldn’t be able to let you go.”182

“Well then yes, I am, I don’t have a strapless one, you can wear mine we’re the same size I checked.”183

I started to get dressed, I pulled on the pants no underwear, mostly because I couldn’t see it as it was probably under the bed. As I was fastening her bra I asked her again, “Don’t you think that people will notice if I’m wearing the same clothes you wore yesterday?”184

I slipped my arms into the sleeves of her blouse as she answered, “I don’t care what they notice. I want them to know, I don’t want to, and I’m not going to hide you. I love you.”185

“Are you sure you can handle it, they’re not nice people?” I asked as I finished buttoning the shirt and picked up the hair brush from her dresser.186

“As long as I’ve got you,” she said as she pulled me into her arms, “nothing else matters to me.”
