Midnight had come and gone. Megan still had no relief from the humidity. Her dark brown hair felt heavy and thick. It stuck to her bare back and shoulders. She cursed herself for not getting a shorter haircut for summer. Her family's country farmhouse was quiet for the night in the lonely, still field of corn. There was no breeze, just a wicked damp heat that would not lift. The only light that Megan could see were each of the nightlight candles in the windows. She paced at the end of her darkened driveway, pulling at her pink stripped tube top and black shorts, which stuck to her like wet leaves. Alexis had told her to wait there, and Megan knew Alexis was up to something good. It had seemed as though she was waiting all night for her.
Finally she saw the bright headlights in the distance and the blue car pulled into the driveway. Megan climbed inside and was immediately blanketed by the air-conditioner, which Alexis had set at full blast.
"I need my gloves and scarf in here," Megan said, hugging herself. She felt her nipples immediately get hard as the air found its way to them.
Alexis smiled. "It's better than the house, right?"
"Yes, that's true."
The two girls looked at one another in the darkened car, exchanging a familiar knowing glance.
"I'm sorry I'm late," said Alexis. "I was waiting for something to..."her voice trailed off and Megan couldn't hear the rest of her sentence. She didn't really care anyway, she was thankful to be out of the heat of her house. Alexis looked sexy in her jean cutoffs and white tank top with her black lace bra showing through.
