Okay so when I did my read through of this after it was published, I caught a few errors that needed correcting, as well as the more obvious one of the last part of the chapter being completely missing. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience of that and I hope I get it right this time. Everything after this message will be as it was originally intended to be published
~~~~~~~~~~
Author's Note: Hey! Hope you enjoyed chapter 1. At the time I'm getting ready to submit this one it's been just shy of 24 hours since the first chapter went live on the site. I can't see any comments yet but I know they have to be approved first so hopefully I can see them and respond soon. But I can see that I have had a lot of positive ratings so far which I'm happy to see.
I'm gonna have another note at the end again to keep it short up here. So without further ado, I hope you enjoy chapter 2!

"Oh, my, god." That was what I woke up to the following morning. I opened my eyes and saw Lucy stirring next to me too. She decided to take whatever punishment her parents would give her and spend the night with me. Looking around my room, I saw my door open and in the doorway, Carter stood looking down at the two of us in my bed. I had hoped that the others might have been so drunk that they slept later than I did, but unfortunately I was wrong.
"What is it?" I heard Henry call from the other room.
I heard Bella hiss out, "Keep it down." from the same direction.
"You guys are gonna want to see this."
I was wide awake now. "Carter I swear to god if you let them come in here." He just gave me a shit eating grin and stepped out of the doorway.
Shortly after I heard hushed whispers asking Carter what was going on. Then Dani's head peeked around the doorway. Her eyes went wide. "Oh my god you guys!" She practically yelled.
More questions, and a "Quiet down." from Bella.
Dani placed herself in the doorway, blocking anyone else from entering behind her. "Okay, I may be wrong, but I am 99% certain, that Rich and Lucy totally fucked last night."
Another wave of sound from the hall as the others said their thoughts. "Shut up. Lucy's still out of town." I heard Caity say.
"Well unless Rich found some girl who looks exactly like Lucy, and..." She craned her neck up to try and see something. "Yep, with boobs as big as her then I think they totally did it." I looked down realizing the blankets had fallen down. My chest was exposed, and Lucy's bra covered breasts were as well. I pulled the covers up, shielding us from whatever was to come next.
There was commotion behind Dani as the rest of the group fought to get a view into my room. Dani laughed as she pushed back against them. "Alright guys, let's give the lovebirds a minute to get decent. We can start the interrogation after." Dani pushed them out and shut the door behind them. Lucy and I looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. I leaned my head down and kissed her.
"Hey."
"Hey." She smiled up at me.
"So, I guess they know."
She nodded. "Yeah. Saves us the hard part of telling them I guess."
I took a moment just to gaze into her eyes, then I kissed her on the forehead. "Alright let's get dressed. We've got quite a morning ahead of us." We both got out of bed and started getting dressed. I pulled my pants on and looked up at Lucy. My eyes locked on her boobs, shaking as she worked her pants up her legs.
As she finished she caught me staring and laughed. She shook them a bit and smiled when she saw my growing erection in my pants. "Hey mister. Calm that thing down, why don't you? Don't wanna go out in front of them like that."
"You're one to talk." I said pointing towards her visibly hard nipples.
"TouchΓ©." She laughed and walked over to my closet pulling out one of my hoodies and putting it on.
"Oh why yes Lucy of course you can borrow one of my hoodies. Thank you so much for asking."
She gave me a teasing look and said, "Who said anything about borrowing? This is mine now." I narrowed my eyes at her for a moment and we both laughed.
When we eventually made our way to the front room, we saw our friends had gathered on the couch, and were waiting for us. I felt like I had just walked into an intervention. "So," it was Caity who spoke first, "was Dani right? Did you guys do it?"
I was taken aback by her forwardness but Lucy just answered for us. "Yep."
Carter held his hand up. "Nice dude." Dani stared daggers at him until he put it down. When she looked away I subtly held my hand out and he hit it.
"So are you dating then?" Dani asked.
Lucy paused before answering. "No. We're not there yet. This was just something casual." I was a little disappointed but after what she had told me before I understood.
"Well if you're not dating, then what's next for you?"
This time I answered. "I don't know. I mean obviously we're all still gonna hang out, but things will just be a little different I guess. We might kind of do dating stuff like kissing or holding hands but it's just not us dating is all." Lucy nodded, seeming to agree with what I had said.
"Well you might wanna keep it on the down low once we get back to school. Otherwise there's gonna be all kinds of rumors about the two of you." Henry said this, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"I'm pretty sure us spending time together at the end of last year already caused some rumors. But it doesn't matter anyway. Let them think what they wanna think." Lucy said, taking my hand. "I'm happy, Rich is happy, and who knows, maybe seeing him walking around with a hottie like me may make some other girls want him too." Everyone laughed at that, but when I looked at Dani, she just had a knowing look on her face.
There was a brief silence and then Henry chuckled to himself. "What?" I asked him.
He shook his head. "Just a stupid joke. I was gonna say 'Since you guys aren't dating does that mean I have a chance?'" He laughed again, and we joined him.
"Hey you never know Henry." Lucy said, giving him a smile. Henry blushed and slouched back into the couch.
"Well that's that I guess?" I left it open for anyone to say any last minute thoughts but no one said anything. "Okay then. Well it's 10:30, my mom and Annie are gonna be back around noon, so why don't we clean up a little okay?" Everyone groaned but started getting up from the couch.
We managed to have everything done within an hour, and then we all took a rest on the couch. We put on a movie and just watched it for a while. At about 10 till noon, the front door opened, and my sister Annie walked in. We all shouted greetings at her, and she responded in kind. I got up to hug her while she was pulling off her shoes. "Thank you."
She smiled. "Of course, it's a big birthday, you wanna have a lot of fun. I'm just sad I didn't have an older sibling to buy me booze for mine."
I laughed. "Yeah but you had Meg, so it doesn't matter anyway." Meg was the older sister of one of Annie's friends, and had a bit of a reputation for being a troublemaker. Getting alcohol for her sister's friends was the least of what she had done.
Annie finished taking her shoes off and looked over to the couch. "Oh hi. I don't think we've met before, I'm Annie, Rich's big sister." She spoke to Lucy who was standing up from the couch.
"Hi, I'm Lucy. It's nice to meet you." Annie looked her over and smiled.
"Nice to meet you too. Did you show up late? I don't remember seeing you when everyone else was getting here."
Lucy nodded. "Yeah, I was on my way home from a road trip with my parents. I got back late last night, and came over this morning to say hi and tell Rich happy birthday."
Annie's face turned sympathetic. "Aw I'm sorry you weren't able to make it to the party. Well tell you what, next time you guys have a get together I'll get you a little something again." Lucy smiled at Annie. Annie cast a gaze over all of us. "Whew you boys are gonna be outnumbered." She chuckled.
"Who says that's a bad thing?" Carter said, earning him a slap to the shoulder from Dani. We all laughed at that.
"Well you didn't burn the house down, and you actually managed to clean up pretty well. Mom will be happy."
I turned my head at that. "Where is mom?"
Annie moved to the kitchen and opened up the fridge. "She just dropped me off and went back to Grandma's. I think they're gonna make pot roast." I pumped a fist at that and got a laugh from everyone. Grandma's pot roast was the best thing I have ever tasted, and was also part of the reason I started getting so chubby when we moved closer to her. "Oh yeah Grandma says hi and happy birthday. What no leftovers?" She closed the fridge holding a can of soda.
We all shook our heads. "Nope, when you've got 6 hungry kids at a party 4 pizzas go by real fast."
Eventually everyone started getting ready to leave. Caity had to go straight home because she and her dad were going to see Judas Priest that night, and the show was 2 towns over. Carter and Dani took Lucy home because of her bike. It wouldn't fit in my car, but Carter drove a pickup truck which could easily carry it. Henry was staying over until later because his parents were having the house cleaned and he would rather just hang out playing Smash Bros than having to avoid the cleaners around the house.
That left me to take Bella home. Caity had driven her to my place but obviously she couldn't take her home. Before we left I pulled Henry aside. "Hey can we ixnay on, you know, everything with me and Lucy? You know as far as my mom and sister?" He nodded understandingly and booted up my switch on the tv as we left.
We hopped in my car and left for Bella's house. The only sound in my car at the time was my playlist, which currently was playing Flight of Icarus, by Iron Maiden. I laughed to myself when it came on, thinking about my situation. Eventually Bella broke the silence. "So how was it?"
