Chapter Twenty-Seven
I got up early the next morning. It was Saturday and I was determined to spend a few solid hours studying before Andrew came to pick me up. We'd decided against shopping since the mall would be so packed but we were still going to see a movie. I smiled to myself when I thought about our last trip, but I doubted we'd be able to do that this time. It would probably be pretty well full of shoppers.
I showered quickly and flopped down at the table, my books spread over it for easy access, and picked up my notes for Monday morning's final. I read them through, highlighting whatever I figured would show up on the test to look over again the next day.
A couple of hours later, I'd gotten through the notes and picked up the fat textbook, determined to reread a few chapters I'd had the most trouble with. I was halfway through when the phone rang, making me jump.
I picked it up from the top of the mountain of books and said, "Hello?"
"Hey, sexy."
I couldn't help laughing. "Hey, Lori, what's up?"
"I suppose you're busy studying, huh?"
"Well, yeah. My first final is on Monday morning. Why?"
"We'll both be so busy next week, we won't get a chance to spend any time together. I thought you might give up and hour or two and eat a pizza with me."
"An hour or two to eat pizza?" I teased. "That must be one hell of an extra large."
"Well, I figured we could visit, too, you know."
I sighed and stretched, both feeling and hearing several joints pop. I had to admit my brain was getting pretty fried and needed a break. Not to mention my stomach's need for food. "All right. I'll come over for a little while. But two hours tops. I want to study some more before Andrew gets here."
"If I didn't know you better, I'd say you were no fun, you know that?" she quipped and hung up.
I stood and stretched again, causing another round of joint popping, and glanced at the clock. It was about eleven. I promised myself I'd be back by one and went down the hallway to Lori's door.
She opened it on the first knock, grinning from ear to ear. "I knew you couldn't resist me."
"Pretty full of yourself, aren't you?" I teased, slipping past her and flopping on her small sofa. "So, where's the pizza you promised me?"
"They'll deliver it in a few more minutes. Amy's down in the foyer waiting for it."
"Amy?" I was surprised. I'd never known Lori to be friendly with anyone at Torch except for Della and me.
"Yeah. She offered to split it and bring it upstairs. Sounded like a good idea to me."
I couldn't really argue with that one so I started looking for her remote. She walked over to the table and picked it up, grinning. She sat next to me and held it out, but snatched it away when I reached for it.
"It'll cost you," she said, holding it just out of reach.
"What will it cost me?" I asked, playing along.
"Well, I'd say a kiss for starters."
I leaned over and pressed my lips against hers gently. I sat back, fully expecting her to hand it over, but she just shook her head.
"Please, I know you can do better than that."
I sighed and rolled my eyes in mock disgust. Then I slid over to her and put my arm around her shoulder. She relaxed into me and I used my free hand to push a few stray hairs away from her face. I tipped her chin up ever so slightly and lowered my lips to hers.
I kissed her softly, my mouth relaxed and gentle, and she responded by winding her arms around me, pulling me close. I slid my tongue out and carefully parted her lips. Our tongues pressed against each other briefly before going into their circling motions, tasting and licking.
I reluctantly broke the kiss. If Amy was coming up any second, I didn't want to be in the middle of a lip lock. Lori's eyes were still closed, a look of pure pleasure on her face, and she sighed.
"I missed you, you know," she breathed. "It's been ages since you ate my pussy."
I knew I was wet but I forced myself not to think about the moist cotton of my panties. We didn't have time, for one thing, and I didn't see the point in getting all worked up for nothing.
"I will before I leave for Christmas," I promised, easing back out of her arms.
"Why wait when we're both right here?"
"What about Amy? And the pizza?"
She started massaging her tits through her shirt and grinned. "We can eat lunch first, if you want."
"And what about Amy?" I repeated, watching her hands as they rubbed back and forth over the taut material, feeling even more of my juices start to flow out of my cunt.
"I'm sure she won't mind watching. Or maybe even giving us a little help."
"Have you and she ever..."
"No," she said, her grin broadening. "But now that Cathy's gone, I thought she might get lonely.
"She and Cathy were..."
There was a sharp rap on the door, cutting me off and making me jump. Lori giggled and got up. "Food's here."
Amy came in carrying a large pizza box. She smiled at me and set it on the table. The three of us each got a plate and a slice.
Lori and I sat on the couch, our legs not quite touching, and Amy flopped on the chair. We flipped on the TV and started watching some stupid reality show, eating and talking.
It didn't take long for me to realize I genuinely liked Amy. She wasn't in college, in fact she'd never even gone at all, but she'd worked hard for years at rotten jobs just so she could save up enough money to get away from an abusive boyfriend. She'd had to move around a lot since he always seemed to find her, so, when someone had tipped her off about Torch, she'd jumped at the chance. Not only was it good money and in yet another town, it gave her a home complete with security.
Her boyfriend had showed up a couple of times but thanks to the surveillance systems and extremely loud alarms, he'd never even made it onto the front porch. She doubted he'd ever give up completely, but for now she felt safe and happy.
Once we'd eaten and heckled the fools on TV for all we were worth, Lori nonchalantly reached over and put her hand on my thigh. I felt a hot blush creep up my neck but didn't pull away. Amy glanced over at us before quickly looking back at the screen, an unreadable expression on her face. I had an hour left before my self-imposed study curfew and I knew Lori was determined to make the most of it.
"Have you heard from Cathy since she left?" Lori asked her, inching her hand even further up my leg.
"Just once," Amy answered, still looking calm and nonplussed. "She called to give me her new address and phone number, but I don't think we'll be seeing her again. She moved to California and she sure as hell won't come back here."
"That's a shame," Lori said, her hand now at the very top of my thigh, right where the inseam of my pants met the crotch. It was all I could do not to squirm, to move her hand even further so she'd brush against my pussy.
"Yeah," Amy agreed, looking at us quickly again before standing up. "Well, thank you for lunch. I should get going."
I was instantly reminded of standing in Lori's room watching her and Della on the bed, wanting to stay but leaving out of fear. And Amy had an advantage over me. If Lori was right, she'd already been with Cathy. Of course that didn't mean she had any desire to start up with anyone else, but it didn't mean she didn't, either.
