Of course, that was likely because Ashlee tried very hard to keep her feelings a secret out of fear that her crush would destroy their friendship. As much as Ashlee wanted her relationship with Naiya to be more than what it was she was just too scared to risk losing the friendship they had by revealing to her friend her secret, sinful feelings. Until that night she'd thought that Naiya would simply never be into such a thing, but now she was armed with the possibility that maybe, just maybe, she may have been a little more open to the idea than Ashlee ever thought possible. Still, she just sat there talking about everything but even as the idea consumed her mind and caused her imagination to go into overdrive, none of that made it any easier for Ashlee to open up to Naiya about her feelings.
Ashlee was never the confident girl even though she had no reason to doubt herself in any way. Like her friend Naiya she was smart and quick witted and most guys simply drooled over her physical appearance even though she herself thought she was a short, fat blob of a girl. She, much Naiya and her self assessment of her breasts, couldn't have been more wrong. She may have been short and she wasn't exactly skinny, but she was nothing close to fat. She had a short, compact body and still had more than her fair share of what her father called baby fat, but it just made her look young and soft. Often people would comment on it especially when she drove her mother's car (she still didn't have one of her own because she refused to get a beater and, frankly, that was all she or her parents could afford for her). She'd been pulled over by a cop who thought she was too young to drive. One look at her id told him he was mistaken and he even managed to seem a little embarrassed as he let her go on her way.
Beyond all that, though, she was a perfectly attractive girl. She had a cute round face with bright green eyes and a delicate little nose capped by a generally blonde, generally shoulder length mane of beautiful hair. She also had fairly large breasts for a girl her height which her friends often expressed jealousy of, but which she found cumbersome and annoying. Mainly because they, plus her nicely proportioned backside, seemed to be a magnet for boys and creepy, old men alike. Not that she hated guys or anything, but she'd much rather have them look her in the eye when they talked to her. She could have also really done without all the annoying pickup lines they threw her way. She might have felt differently if she was actually interested in guys like that or if a woman were to try the same thing, but she wasn't interested in guys and no woman had yet made any attempt to pick her up.
Not that any of this was on Ashlee's mind as she tried her best to follow her friend's line of conversation despite the weed and her distraction. No, she was fairly lost in her thoughts as she attempted to pretend she was actually interested in Naiya's feelings about the Jonas Brother's (she was not impressed and frankly didn't quite get their appeal) and it was starting to show. Naiya may have been fairly stoned at that point, but she knew her friend well enough to know when she was humoring her.
"And that's when I decided to rape my pet hamster with a tire iron. I mean, that is what the parrot told me to do and who am I to deny the parrot?" Naiya said just to test Ashlee. When Ashlee responded with a simple "Mmhmm," Naiya couldn't help but punch her lightly in the shoulder.
"What the hell was that for?" Ashlee said after being shaken from her reverie even though she knew exactly why it had happened. A light punch was Naiya's traditional response when Ashlee retreated into her own head. Still, for a small person Naiya's little punches could smart if she hit you just right. This time her aim had been perfect in that regard.
"You weren't paying attention, you weirdo," Naiya responded playfully. "What were you thinking about this time? Letting that weirdo eat your pussy?"
"What?" Ashlee responded, honestly having completely forgotten all about it for a second until it came rushing back before Naiya could spout some other smart ass comment. "Jerry? Don't be gross."
"Then what the hell were you thinking about?" Naiya replied momentarily going back to scrolling over some random webpage her cousin had emailed her looking unimpressed by the macho stupidity she saw displayed before her.
"Nothing," was the only reply Ashlee could think of even though she knew it wouldn't wash. She just hoped it would work well enough to get Naiya off of her back for a bit. It didn't, but it was worth a shot.
"Liar," Naiya came back and then paused long enough to make Ashlee think she was out of the woods. In fact, she was absolutely certain of it when Naiya added, almost as an after thought, "I'm surprised you haven't asked me if I still have the picture."
"Wha... What?" Ashlee managed to stutter out while briefly wondering if Naiya had just read her mind. She'd actually been thinking about exactly that at that very second and was just beginning to talk herself out of asking Naiya if she still had it.
"You know what I'm talking about," Naiya said with her usual naughty smirk. "I still have it. Kelli was an awesome kisser."
"I... umm, really?" was the only thing Ashlee could come up with in response. She was now staring wide eyed at her best friend. There was something about the way she was speaking. Like she was teasing, but not just to tease or be playfully mean. There was something oddly flirtatious about her tone. It was a bit awkward, but it was there. At least, it seemed to be, but Ashlee wasn't sure.
"Wanna see it? There's more than one," Naiya was definitely teasing her now, but it in what way Ashlee had no clue. Still she nodded and nodded again and then yet again when Naiya made her promise not to tell anyone almost without thinking about it and then watched almost in a state of shock as Naiya went to her bookmarks and went to her usual photo bucket account that Ashlee had seen a thousand times before and even used herself for a long time until her parents bought her her own computer. Naiya then signed out and typed in a new user name and password. What Ashlee saw at that moment completely destroyed her old impression of the girl she thought was her best friend.
Naiya had definitely not been lying about making out with Kelli. In fact, she quickly learned that if Naiya could be accused of anything it was omission of truth. Naiya must have had a very advanced definition of making out, because what Ashlee saw in the small collection of photos in the album marked KelliSleepover went a bit farther than just making out. Sure, most of the pictures were simply Naiya and Kelli kissing while they obviously took turns holding the camera there were a couple shots that clearly showed Naiya licking Kelli's nipple and Kelli returning the favor and, at the very bottom of the page there was a picture of Naiya's hand easing its way past the elastic band of Kelli's panties.
Ashlee was simply stunned at the sight before her. She'd never imagined that Naiya would ever do anything even close to what she was seeing. The pictures of them kissing were one thing and, honestly, Naiya was playful enough that Ashlee could imagine her teasing some poor boy on the internet by doing exactly that, but the rest of the photos were simply mind-boggling.
They were also incredibly hot. So hot that Ashlee almost didn't hear any of Naiya's commentary as she expanded photo after photo. In fact, she almost missed the pronouncement that there was also a video.
"Are you serious?" Ashlee whispered excitedly when it sunk in that she hadn't misheard her friend. Naiya just kept on smirking as she stared at Ashlee knowingly. Naiya's obvious amusement at her eagerness was almost like a slap in the face and Ashlee couldn't help but blush when she realized that she was revealing more than she wanted to. The room suddenly felt hot and Ashlee couldn't help but feel somewhat afraid about where exactly this was all going.
"You wanna see that, too?" Naiya said after a short pause only to have her question go unanswered by her now obviously nervous friend. Ashlee, for the first time in a long time, really couldn't tell what was going on in her friends mind and it scared her beyond all belief. Her thoughts were racing as she wondered if Naiya knew all about her secret desires and whether or not this was some elaborate trap to get her to reveal herself. The weed was working wonders on her brain and she was beginning to feel extremely paranoid about the entire situation. Luckily, Naiya was there and was beginning to get the idea that Ashlee was freaking out.
"Are you okay? " Naiya asked calmly losing her smirk and replacing with a slightly worried look that Ashlee didn't see because she was purposefully avoiding Naiya's concerned look. When Naiya asked again, a little more gently as she placed a calming hand on Ashlee's shoulder Ashlee nodded her ascent. "I'm not trying to freak you out, you know. I just you'd like to see it. It's cool if you don't."
"Why would you think I'd want to see this?" Ashlee asked quietly as she tried to stay in control of her paranoia.
"I don't know," Naiya responded in a slightly defensive tone, but not without her usual calmness, "I just thought you'd find it interesting, you know... 'cause... I don't know. I was just messing around."
