The next morning came too soon. Being an hour away from home had the huge disadvantage of requiring me to get up an hour earlier. And with two of us taking turns in the shower and then in front of the fogged up mirror in the bathroom, Julie and I had very little time to talk about last night, or for that matter the upcoming night when she was going to a party. I was going as well, but she didn't know it and I was feeling stronger all the time that I didn't want to go.
After the bath, we didn't really need to spend a lot of time in the shower, so we took turns and it worked out. I did catch myself looking at Julie in a whole new light now. I mean, everything from last night kept playing through my mind over and over again and it made me so horny I really thought I should have some panties to control the seepage in between my thighs.
We kept trying to talk about the kiss, but we were on short time and mostly smiled at each other and giggled like the school girls that we were. While Julie was getting dressed, I watched. I had actually noticed her for years, growing into such an athletic and well proportioned body. She had not an ounce of fat anywhere on her body. Her cute little breasts were so divinely firm on her body. Her butt was so exquisitely small and tight. I just wanted to grab handfuls of Julie and she rolled her eyes at me several times as she caught me staring.
"We are going to be late for school ya slut." She laughed as she pulled a skirt up over her ass. "Get your mind out of there and let's go get some breakfast, I'm starved."
I laughed and blushed and finished getting dressed. I was faster without the burden of underwear. I knew I would be in trouble because I didn't do Darla's morning ritual, but I didn't care. I could endure Darla with this opportunity to be with Julie.
We ran down the stairs and I grabbed a bottle of orange juice and two glasses while Julie started chomping on a banana. I poured the O.J. and popped some toast in the toaster. "Butter?" I asked her.
"Whatever you are eating, I'll have the same." Julie smiled.
I looked pointedly at her pelvis and licked my lips. We both laughed as Kelly entered the kitchen. "What's so funny?" She asked.
"Carrie can't keep her mind out of my panties." Julie laughed.
I blushed. "Shut UP! You wish!"
"Denial." Julie laughed, taking another bite out of her banana.
Kelly laughed. "Well, look you two, you know I have no problem with any of this, but cool it down around your dad Carrie, he is getting a bit concerned."
"I am eighteen now, he does know that right?" I asked her in mock anger.
"Yes, he knows full well how old you are Carrie, and I think that is what worries him the most. He really feels like he missed a lot. He hasn't lived with you since you really were a little girl. So, give your dad a break and let him adapt."
Julie looked like she was about to say something but changed her mind and took another bite of that banana. I think I knew what she was thinking. It wasn't my fault he had missed the last six years of my life. I still needed to process the idea that my mom had been cheating on him first. It's hard to accept new information after six years of possibly hating the wrong parent.
I took the toast out of the toaster and handed a slice to Julie. Odd, I didn't feel like calling her Jules at the moment, I'm not sure why that was. I hoped that I didn't fuck this up. Julie was by far the best friend I have ever had and I did not want to lose that for an orgasm.
My dad came down finally in a suit and tie. "Good morning girls." He called on his way in the kitchen.
"Morning Dad. And have a great day, we have to go fight some traffic." I smiled and gave him a quick kiss.
"Thanks for having me over Mr. Fitch and Kelly, hope to see you again soon." Julie chirped as she followed me out the door.
As soon as we got in my car, we started to unload what we had been thinking since last night. For Julie, it was whether I could handle another step. For me, it was more like when are we going to make the next step. There were issues of course. First, we both had people that we were dating. Second, we now lived a long distance away from each other. Third, I still had about twenty-nine days of servitude to Darla, which Julie didn't know about and which could be a severe damper on our relationship if we developed one.
"Okay Carrie, that kiss was incredible." Julie laughed as we pulled onto the road. "So, how are we going to play things at school today?"
I didn't really even think that there was anything to play at school today. I thought we had decided to put things on hold until we decided what we were willing to do. "Umm... how did you want to play things at school today?" I threw it right back at her.
"Wimp." Julie giggled. "Okay, so, this weekend is out. How does next Saturday night look for you?"
"It's open at the moment." I smiled. This was going to be so perfect.
"Okay, so let's plan to go downtown Saturday, get lunch, walk the harbor and then we can go check into a hotel, hit a dance club, have some dinner and back to the hotel for the night. You plan the lunch, dinner and dancing, I'll get the hotel room." She smiled, looking so forward to it.
"Julie?" My lip shook and I grit my teeth to stop from sounding nervous.
"Yeah, I'm here." She giggled.
"After... I mean Sunday, can we ... I mean, don't make any plans Sunday okay?" Smooth Carrie, really smooth.
"You are that insatiable huh?" Julie laughed. She squeezed my hand. "I was not planning to do anything on Sunday without you. Carrie, you need to be cool with this, are you sure? I am really excited about it, but you need to be okay with it. Don't bullshit me. You mean a lot more to me than getting my lesbo experience in before college. I can wait."
"Of course..." I dropped off. "Julie, I'll be okay. I just ... don't want things to be weird."
Julie laughed. "Honey, they already are. Our relationship already changed Carrie. You just have to accept that it might not go the same way for me as for you. Hell, I might fall head over heels in love with you and you might decide it wasn't that great and fall harder for Farin. I'm okay with that. I'll cherish it no matter how good or bad it is and keep you as my best friend forever. YOU are the one I'm worried about."
I smiled. "Then don't worry. I'll surprise you next weekend."
Julie gave a fake yawn. "I doubt it." And we both burst into laughter.
We mostly talked about the party for the rest of the drive to school. Then I told her about the guidance counselor wanting me to go to dyke circle counseling and I could get back on the cheerleading squad.
"Do it then. Hell, I'll go with you if you want. Just for the first one, for moral support. I don't have your sicko issues." Julie laughed.
"Really? You'd do that?" I asked.
"Of course ho. Jeez Carrie, sometimes I wonder if you know how great a friend you have." Julie smirked.
