V. Harmless Flirting?
"Well, she's totally passed out," Hanna said as she walked through the door connecting her room to Logan's.
"That's didn't take long."
"She was so high."
"It didn't take much."
"It never does with that weed," Hanna said, and sat down next to Logan on his futon.
"I'm gonna burn a bowl before bed," he said, absent-mindedly packing his hash-pipe.
"Here," Hanna said, pulling out her bag, "let me throw some down." She pulled a little nugget from the bag and put it in the bowl. "You know, I'm gonna try not to be around tomorrow for when they get in the fight they're gonna have."
"And miss all the fireworks? Too bad," Logan replied, and he lit the weed and took a hit. "It should be fun," he said as he handed her the bowl. She relit the bowl and took a hit.
"Won't be as bad as when he finds out about what she's been doing behind his back," she said, handing the pipe back to him.
"Oh?" Logan asked. "We both know about her and Kitty. What else has she been up to? I haven't seen her with any other boys. She certainly hasn't brought them around here."
"It's not boys... it's me," Hanna said.
Logan raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you want to get yourself in the middle of that?"
"God, I couldn't help myself! That girl is so fine... the other day we were talking about her and Adam and their sex life, and she told me that she has this thing for getting fucked reluctantly. She's one of those girls that does, actually, sometimes mean yes when she says no. She told me Adam can't really get into that, can't wrap his brain around it. So I did it for her. Or to her, or whatever."
"Interesting," Logan said. They passed the pipe back and forth, hitting it a few times until it was finished.
"I know you want her," Hanna said.
"She's a sexy little fox," he replied. "I've always been really good about respecting women when they say no, though."
"Well, let me tell you a little secret. When she tells you no, she really means yes. She doesn't want to cheat on Adam, but I think as long as she's saying no, at least initially, she can justify it to herself."
"Hmm..."
"She really is delicious, too. You should definitely have yourself a taste."
"We'll see what happens. If an opportunity presents itself... I'll keep all that in mind."
"I knew you would," Hanna said. "Now... I need a little something before I go to bed." She pulled a Trojan Magnum out of her pocket. "I'm prepared this time."
"That's good," Logan replied. "I picked some up myself."

Lauren woke up the next morning in Hanna's bed, a bit disoriented. She was naked and so was Hanna. She found her clothes on the floor and put them on before walking out. She didn't remember fooling around with Hanna at all, but the idea that Hanna had played with her passed-out body turned her on. She wondered if Logan had been a part of that, but she didn't feel like she had been fucked. She blushed in shame as she realized she was wet from her thoughts, and decided to go to her room and fuck Adam to maybe make up for all the bitterness between them from the night before.
He wasn't there. She wandered out to the living room to see if he had passed out on the sofa, but he wasn't there either. She went back to her bedroom, and then found the note he had left her. It read:
"Laurenβ
I'll be at the library all day. Party with the soccer team tonight. 1345 Rosemary, nine o'clock. See you there. Adam."
She set the note down, and then she changed into some clean clothes that didn't reek of pot. She went for comfort, no bra, just a tight pink tee-shirt, one of her many black thongs, and little black cotton shorts. She realized she was really hungry, so she went to the kitchen and fixed herself a bowl of cereal, and sat down at the dining room table to eat.
Logan came out of his room as she was finishing her cereal. "Good morning," he said. "How are you?"
"Good," she said. "Still feeling a little stoned," she confessed. "But breakfast is helping."
"That's good. Did you have fun last night on our roadie?"
"Yeah, it was a blast! I gotta say, I think weed is so much better than alcohol. Thank you so much!" She stood up and hugged him tightly as he came close to her.
"No problem," he said. "And I agree, I'd rather toke than drink any day. Is Adam still passed out?"
"He's gone," she said. "He left a note saying he would be at the library all day and I should meet him at some party tonight. I guess that means he won't be back at all."
"Huh. Well, I guess he's not such a big fan of weed. Maybe he's out trying to blow off some steam before he sees you."
"I hope so. I hate it when we fight."
"Fighting is no fun," Logan said. He went into the kitchen and started puttering about. He started a pot of coffee and went about scrambling some eggs. "You want any?"
"Maybe just a little bit. Thanks!" she said, and joined him in the kitchen. She rinsed out her cereal bowl and placed it back in the cupboard as he cooked the eggs. "So what are your plans for the day?"
He looked at the clock on the wall. "Well, I have to be at work in an hour, but I'll be back a little after five."
"I didn't know you had a job! What do you do?"
"I'm a barista in a little coffee shop downtown."
"Oh, which one?"
"The Expresso," he replied.
"Oh, cool."
"It's alright. You should come in today, I'll give you a free latte."
"I will!" she said.
"Get me a couple little plates," he said. She grabbed them from the cupboard and he scooped some scrambled eggs onto each. He poured himself a cup of coffee and they sat down next to each other at the dining room table. The smell of the coffee brought Hanna and Kitty from their rooms, and they each got themselves a cup. After they ate, Logan got ready for work. Lauren gave him another tight hug before he left. Logan spent his day at the coffee shop unable to get her out of his mind. Her perky tits in that tight tee-shirt, pressed against his chest as she hugged him...
Around three in the afternoon, she and Kitty came into his coffee shop. He made them each a latte, and took his break to sit with them for a bit before he had to get back to work. Lauren was still dressed as she had been at breakfast, and Logan repeated failed to keep from checking out her tits. The girls had been out clothes-shopping, and each had a few good finds. Lauren promised to show him what she had gotten when he got home, and his mind raced with the possibilities for the rest of his day at work.
He tried to dismiss them. She had a boyfriend, she was in love with him, everything in his mind was just wishful thinking.
But then he recalled what Hanna had told him the night before, and he knew the possibilities were endless.
The minutes dragged on, but five o'clock finally came around, and Logan was quick to leave work. He raced back to the apartment. "Hello?" he called out when he opened the door.
There was no reply, but he could hear, quite clearly, the verbal fighting going on between Lauren and Adam in their bedroom. Logan's heart sank, and he went into the kitchen to cook himself some dinner. He suddenly heard heavy footsteps stomping through the living room, the front door open and slam shut, and then Lauren opening the door again and yelling at Adam some more. He went out to see what was going on. Lauren shut the door and he said: "Hey."
"Logan! Oh my God, I didn't realize you had come home."
"I just walked in."
"I'm sorry you had to hear all that."
"I just caught the end of it."
"He's really upset that I got high with you and Hanna."
"Bummer," Logan said.
"Yeah. I told him he should try it before he knocks it, and that's when he ran out."
