*If you make one person happy, you save the World. Make a million people happy and you become a politician*
(Thanks for Fortima's presence fixing so many of my mistaks
(Oddly there is no sex in this chapter; just prepping for the next rollercoaster)
(Yes, this tale is supposed to be somewhat humorous and outrageous too. While not always comedic, I'd like to think it is mostly a good-natured romp.)
Rolling Off the Bottom
I had grabbed a shower around 2:00 so I wasn't really surprised that a dozen feet came running up my steps at 6:15. I was barely able to prop myself up in the bed when Rio came storming in.
"What's up, dude?" she said as she plopped down. "Planning to forgo cleanliness?"
"I showered earlier," I told them. Valerie, Iona, Opal, Brandi and Barbie Lynn all came in and sat around me. Barbie Lynn was the first to clue in that something was off.
"What's wrong, Honey?" she asked with concern.
"My room was raided last night," I answered. It wasn't the total truth but I wasn't sure how I felt about my actions with the Chancellor the night before, much less how my friends would take it.
"Well, you are still here so they didn't find anything, so what is it?" Opal prodded.
"Ladies, can I keep this plan to myself?" I requested.
"Of course," Iona responded. Sadly, she seemed to be the only one who appeared ready to let the situation lie.
"Don't make us get all CSI on your ass," Rio teased. "You know we'll eventually figure it out so you might as well tell us." I studied her for a few seconds.
"I ass-raped the Chancellor in order to get Heaven back," I told her in a dead-even tone. It was an empty joy to see that most of them realized too late they really didn't want to know after all.
"What did she say?" Barbie Lynn came to my rescue. "Are we getting Heaven back?"
"She promised me, and I have reason to believe she'll actually honor it," I replied.
"Well..." Rio finally kicked in, "How was she?"
"Why do you think I took a shower earlier?" I pointed out. "I've never used sex that way and I pray it never happens again."
"Don't beat yourself up over this," Brandi consoled me. "You did say that being young means you get to do stupid shit?" I don't recall using those exact words but still...
"I think we can agree to not talk about this outside of this room," Opal added.
"So do you know of any Thai Sexual Cleansing ritual that will help you get over last night?" Brandi grinned mischievously. I chuckled.
"We'd love to help," Barbie Lynn chimed in.
"Thank you, ladies," I smiled, "but I think I need to get my head on straight before diving back into the pleasurable side of this school. I need to know if I did the right thing or not."
On that cheery note we all began to move toward the stairs and out into the world. In the stairwell Valerie cornered me, put a hand on my chest to impede my progress, and motioned to me that she had something to say.
"From the discussion in the Chancellor's office Monday I get the feeling that Heaven is a girl-guy, shemale, what have you; right?" she started off. I nodded.
"You clearly like girls but you are real close to Heaven; right?" Val continued.
"Yes," I replied.
"So you risked something you love β namely, the pleasure you derive from sex β to save her; right?" she prodded.
"Yes," I sounded curious.
"Then you did the right thing," she concluded. "Zane, I'd kill for the people I love and I imagine you would too. What's death compared to a little rough sex with an evil controlling bitch to get her to release someone as close to you as Heaven appears to be?"
"Thanks, Valerie," I grinned. "My heart knows you are right but it is going to take my mind a while to accept that. I guess I'm over-thinking things."
"Happens to the best of us," Valerie joked, then punched me in the arm. "Let's catch up with the others before Rio does something stupid β okay, does something more stupid than normal."
We were halfway through breakfast when I noted a diminishing of noise from the south entrance of the hall. Being taller than the average female student, I was able to make out the cause of the disturbance. I catapulted out of my seat and raced for the lady at the door; I had the vague impression I wasn't alone.
I rushed up within a few feet of Heaven, who had dropped her bags and looked at me with fear and expectation. I didn't want to overwhelm or embarrass her so I pulled up short to make sure the moment was special. I'm an idiot!! Rio slipped past me, grabbed Heaven's cheeks, and planted a deep kiss full of longing on MY GIRL's lips!!
"Oh, Babycakes, I've missed you so much," Rio panted passionately to Heaven.
"Ah...thanks, Rio," Heaven said, "but if you don't let go of me right now, I'm going to strangle you with your own intestines." Heaven untangled herself from Rio, shot a look my way, then rushed into Christina's arms. Rio smirked at me.
The rest of Christina's crew swarmed around Heaven and rejoiced at her return. I took a step back to give them some room. I did note Chancellor Bass glaring at me from the head table. I looked back to catch sight of Dana Gorman giving me a lopsided grin from the door Heaven had come through, a McDonald's bag in hand.
I missed Heaven's arm slipping through her knot of friends and pulling me in. She pressed her body against me and looked up into my eyes.
"I want you inside of me so bad," she whispered. Why can't a woman look at me and say "I've missed gazing into your eyes" or something romantic like that?
"How about we get Heaven squared away in our room before Assembly?" Christina suggested.
"We'll get her bags," Hope volunteered.
"I'll come too," I joined in, but Chastity quickly put a hand up.
"No, you don't," she smiled. "We'd like Heaven to actually get to Assembly."
"There is no Assembly today," Iona pointed out.
"Great, I can go straight to Zane's room," Heaven beamed.
"I don't think we'll mind the company," Paige announced. I was suddenly left trying to figure out how she'd appeared next to me in this crowd, as well as how my arm ended up around her waist.
"Holy Hell, Paige," I hissed. "You are going to give me a heart attack if you keep that up."
"It isn't worth it unless you pay the price," she teased me. What the hell did that mean, 'pay the price'? Heaven balled up her fists and I was sure blood was about to be spilled.
