It had been 9 days, four hours and 37 minutes since that night on the beach with Gabriel, not that Desiree was counting or anything. She had spent the better part of the last nine days away from Gabriel and her brother, and with her best friend Jessica. She tried telling herself that she really missed Jessica's company, which she did, but she knew she was spending so much time with her to avoid Gabriel. She felt a little guilty for using Jessica like this, but isn't that what friends are for?
Desiree watched as Jessica sat on the floor in her room painting her toenails.
"Yea so," Jessica continued, "I know you wanted to hang here, but we definitely can't. My parents have been acting retarded." Jessica added the final clear coat to her toes. "Why don't we just sleep at your house for a change? I haven't been there in weeks."
Desiree groaned inwardly as she thought about going back to her house. Images of the bathroom door flashed through her mind and she shook her head to clear them away. "Because I don't want to be at my house. Now that my brother and Candy have broken up, he spends all his free time at the house, and its getting annoying."
Jessica just gave Desiree a look, and Desiree knew that Jessica probably didn't buy the story, but like a good friend she said nothing about it. "Well we can't stay here." Jessica stood and walked awkwardly to the bed so she wouldn't smudge the polish on her toes.
Desiree didn't tell Jessica exactly what had happened between her and Gabriel; she just mentioned that she was more annoyed with him than ever, and that she had no desire to talk to him. When Jessica pressed for details, Desiree clammed up. She had no desire to relive her humiliation with her best friend too. It was bad enough she couldn't get the whole thing out of her mind anyway.
"Fine, but we are spending the whole time in my room. I'm serious." Jessica nodded her approval as she flopped down on the bed and waited for her toes to dry.
~*~*~
True to her word, Desiree made sure that she and Jessica spent the whole time in her room. They had spent the better part of the last three hours talking and watching movies on the TV in Desiree's room.
Desiree turned on her side to look at the clock. She watched as it changed from 1:32am to 1:47am. Desiree needed a distraction from Jessica's snoring. She turned back and watched as Jessica's chest rose and fell under her tank top. It wasn't a big deal that the two girls shared a bed together; it just would have been better if Desiree could get some sleep.
'I wish I had boobs like that,' Desiree thought to herself as she studied Jessica's body. Desiree sat up quietly being careful not to wake her friend, and took inventory of her own chest. She was a little jealous that Jessica had such full breasts, but Desiree knew she had the better butt. She watched as the moon illuminated Jessica's face and torso. She could just make out the outline of Jessica's nipples through her shirt.
Desiree let her eyes follow the lines of Jessica's stomach, down her flat belly to the tops of her pajama shorts, that didn't leave much to the imagination. For the first time Desiree could really see why her sister liked women.
'I wonder if she still waxes," Desiree wondered catching herself off guard with the thought. Desiree lay back down and began to think about the first time they had both gotten a Brazilian Bikini Wax together. It was the first and only time for Desiree, but she didn't know about Jessica. Desiree sat up again trying not to make any noise as she glanced at the outline of Jessica's mound in her shorts. Desiree knew her friend wasn't wearing any underwear because she had been in the room when Jessica put the shorts on. Desiree smiled to her self as she thought that Jessica had no problems with modesty.
As Desiree's thoughts began to drift and travel, she found herself wondering what it would be like to feel another woman's slit. What it would be like to take a woman's clit between her teeth and gently suck on it. Still staring at her best friends mound, Desiree began to moan at the arousal her thoughts were bringing her.
'I gotta get outta here." Desiree jumped from the bed and left the room. The last thing she needed was for her best friend to smell the arousal that was leaking from between her legs.
She padded quietly down the hall to her brothers old room, taking care to step over all the creaky parts of the floor so she didn't wake her parents down the hall. Her mother was a ridiculously light sleeper.
Desiree lightly pressed her ear to her brother's door to make sure that he hadn't snuck a girl in there like he had done so many times when he had lived there. She could hear the TV going and she decided to crack the door open and see if he was awake. She wasn't sure what she wanted from him, she just wanted to be away from Jessica for a little while.
"Scott?" she whispered as she closed his door behind her.
"What?" he said putting the TV on mute.
"Nothing. Can I sleep in here? I forgot how annoying Jessica's snoring can be." Desiree didn't wait for an answer as she walked across Scott's room and pulled back the top sheet so she could get under.
"Where are your clothes?"
Desiree's face heated. She had forgotten that she had only gone to bed in a wife-beater and her boy shorts. "Shut up, nothing you haven't seen before." Desiree turned on her side and wasn't awake long enough to be surprised at how fast she fell asleep.
