Parker tossed restlessly in bed. She couldn't sleep. Her pillow felt too hard, and the bed felt too warm. Worst of all, however was her brain, it wouldn't stop. An unending parade of distracting thoughts marched relentlessly through her mind.
Parker was currently on vacation with her friend Quinn in Hawaii. Quinn's family owned a large home on the southern coast of Kahoolawe. It was situated on the end of a semiprivate beach with a number of other multimillion-dollar homes, A far cry from the cramped apartment Parker called home.
Parker sighed and rolled over again; Quinn was lying next to her. Parker and Quinn had been friends ever since they were little. The two girls were almost like sisters. They would often spend hours together talking about life, celebrities, music, and romance. Despite their bond, Parker had a secret, an ugly and desperate secret, one she kept locked deep down inside of her, and tucked away from the rest of the world.
Parker wanted to fuck Quinn. She had wanted to for years now. Even as Quinn hitched up to boyfriends, Parker's desire never quelled. She would often find herself slipping into wild fantasies of erotic encounters with her friend.
She would dream and daydream of Quinn, imagining her hands running across her body; fingers wrapping around her neck; palms slowly moving up the inside of her thighs. Parker shuddered even thinking about it. Sometimes she would find herself completely consumed by thoughts of Quinn, unable to function until she dealt with the desperate desire roiling through her body.
But Quinn could never know. The moment she found out. Parker would lose everything: the shopping trips, the vacations, the notoriety at school. But most importantly she would lose her friend, her closest friend in the whole world. Parker just couldn't risk that.
Parker groaned as she faded out of her train of thought for a moment. Quinn was lying on the bed in front of her. Even though Quinn was almost completely covered by blankets Parker could see her body perfectly through her mind's eye.
Parker's mouth began to water slightly as she imagined Quinn's body; her long slender legs that moved so elegantly when she walked. Her perfectly shaped hourglass torso. Her wonderful arms that showed just the slightest bit of muscle definition. Her hips were small and well defined. Her breasts were small, but round and firm. Despite her short stature her whole body appeared long and slender. Quinn's face was similarly perfect to her body. Her jaw was soft and round, her cheeks were plump and rosy red. She had long thick light brown hair that almost went blonde in certain places. Parker's favorite part of Quinn's body were her eyes. They were bright and brown, yet deep and powerful. Looking into those eyes was looking a vast sea of infinity. Parker longed to know what was happening behind those eyes.
As Parker laid there, floating between reality and fantasy, she imagined her own body pressed tightly up against Quinn's. Parker's body was incredibly similar to Quinn's. She too was short and slender. She had slightly more muscle definition than Quinn. She was more angular, her features sharper. Her hair was blonde not brown, her eyes green, her cheeks sprinkled with freckles rather than bathed in a red hue.
Parker stared longingly at Quinn. She was just slipping into another fantasy when Quinn stirred. Parker's heart skipped a beat. She trembled slightly as her friend squirmed around in front of her. She watched attentively as Quinn began to roll over.
Parker was taken completely by surprise as Quinn finished turning to reveal that her eyes were open. Not only that, but Quinn's face was just mere inches away from Parker's own. Parker could feel Quinn's warm breath brush across her cheeks. Her heart was pounding in her chest.
After what felt like an eternity of silence, Quinn spoke. "Hey," she said nonchalantly. Her voice was silky and smooth, soft like the gentle churning of a brook in a deserted forest.
"Hi" Parker responded quickly, trying not to let the surprise she felt enter her voice.
"Trouble sleeping?" Quinn asked. Parker couldn't help but notice that Quinn still hadn't moved back. Despite their close bond Parker and Quinn made very little physical contact with one another. Hugs and high fives were rare, and Parker had learned quickly that Quinn was most comfortable at a distance from everybody. That's why it was so strange when Quinn had invited Parker to stay in her room together earlier that night.
"Yea, Insomnia I guess" Parker responded.
There was another long pause. Parker could feel her stomach tie up into knots. Quinn hadn't been this close to her in years. The urge to reach forward and grab her, to close the gap between their bodies was almost overwhelming. Finally, Quinn moved backwards pushing herself to an upright position. She was dressed in a pair of athletic shorts and a black hoodie.
"I think I have something to fix that," Quinn said slyly. Parker watched as Quinn reached over to the bedside table and pulled out a box. She opened the box and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. Parker furrowed her brow. "For me," Quinn said, smiling. Parker pushed herself into an upright position. She was dressed only in a pink sports bra and gray sweatpants.
"Since when did you smoke?" Parker asked. She was starting to regain her composure now that Quinn wasn't so close.
"I tried it a few months ago at a party," Quinn responded as she removed a cigarette from the book. "I only ever do it on special occasions" she finished. Parker was unsure what made this a special occasion but decided not to press on it.
Parker watched as Quinn lit the cigarette and took a long draw off it. As she exhaled her face was obscured by a thick plume of smoke. She took another hit before extending her arm forward and asking "Wanna try?"
Parker reached forward and took the cigarette from Quinn's hand. She had never been interested in smoking, but she wasn't about to deny a request from Quinn. She raised the cigarette to her lips and inhaled. The smoke immediately forced its way down her windpipe and into her lungs. Her throat and chest burned as she started to cough and splutter.
Parker could hear Quinn giggling as she struggled for air. As Parker's breathing steadied Quinn plucked the cigarette from her fingers and took a long drag. "Alright" she said, ribbons of smoke flowing from her mouth and nostrils as she spoke. "I actually have something to help".
She reached once more into the box and produced a small baggie full of a green substance. "I-Is that weed?" Parker asked apprehensively. She could feel her heart rate increasing as she stared at the bag in Quinn's hand. Quinn nodded her head smiling as she did so.
"Yep" she said "This stuff will get you nice and relaxed".
Parker let out a shaky breath. She couldn't tear her eyes away from Quinn's lips as she continued speaking. "You want to try?" Quinn asked. A bolt of fear shot through Parker's body. Her mind raced as logic and emotion clashed within her. She desperately wanted this to continue and for Quinn to come close once more. But she had never done weed. She had no idea what would happen if she did now, what she might do, what she might say, what secrets may slip from her drugged lips.
