Jessica slept, her Swedish ancestry proven by her hair, a mildly snarled mass of pale tresses contrasting with the deep amaranthine pillow case. She occupied her favorite place, post-orgasmic sleeping.
"OhMyGodtheyrecominghereintwodays!! SamnAndrewaregoingtovisitAlabama!"
Jessica opened her eyes βone of them, anyway β as the shattering burst of incomprehensible noise thrust into her ears. Silky, her diminutive red-haired green eyed roomie/sister/lover bounced all the way down the hall and onto the bed, chattering like a woodchuck on meth, and Jess's luminous blue eyes stayed open allowing her ears to work as well.
"Silky, what the fuck are you talking about? Inside voice, OK?"
So Silky took a deep breath, one that amplified the swell of her rather magnificent breasts under her fitted tee, and repeated herself at human speed.
"Oh My God! They're coming here in two days!! Sam and Andrew are going to visit Alabama! I just talked to Aunt Mallie in Tucson"
"Your brother Andrew? And your Cousin Sam? That's great, Silky!"
"Yes I'm so excited!"
"Wait a minute... those are the brother and cousin you fucked while you were there, right?"
"That's a rather rude way to describe it. Sam explained to me about the water shortages, and how people needed to shower together..."
"Silky, you told me that shit before. You didn't believe that."
"I couldn't help it, I really couldn't. It was just sort of an accident."
"You accidentally fucked both of them, over and over, for days on end?"
"It sounds really bad when you put it like that. We were just obeying the water laws." Silky rolled her emerald eyes upward, puffed out her soft lower lip, and repeated under her breath, "I couldn't help it."
"This is me, girl. I'm your oath-sworn sister. I know everything about you, from your taste to how you taste, and that's bullshit. Your IQ beats everybody's, even mine and George's. I've never known you to ever get tricked into anything, or do anything you didn't plan."
"You mean like those dumb ass boys in Rome who didn't know we capiamo l'Italiano?"
"Yeah, like that."
Jessica patted the bed beside her, and Silky sat. They locked eyes.
"I don't care if you like to play with people by pretending you're not as smart as you are. I know you're a member of Mensa. But don't give me garbage β I'm in Mensa, too."
"Well, the time the McDonald's guy told me I had to practice emergency deep fryer drainage by sucking his ole dick, I admit I did know the hose on the fryer was way bigger than his paltry penis... and I did know how to play poker way better than those poor porters on the train. You should have seen their faces when I was standing there dressed and all their clothes were in a pile!"
