Laney lay on her back, exhausted, for a long time, enjoying the smells of the intoxicating salts and listening to the symphonic music. She could hear Kellie moving around the apartment from room to room. Laney could feel a huge smile form on her face as she thought about her birthday present.
Laney heard pots clang in the small kitchen and caught a quick whiff of bacon. She realized that she was beginning to get hungry. She sat up and removed her blindfold. She waited a few moments before turning around and gathering the silk pajamas. She dressed and glided into the kitchen. She saw Kellie cooking bacon and waffles. Kellie turned and smiled at Laney.
"Hey champ. How are you feeling now?"
"Wow. I am not sure I can explain how I am feeling." Laney replied with a giggle.
"Headache gone?"
"Oh yes. It is more than gone. My body feels like jelly and like I am floating on a cloud at the same time."
Kellie leaned over and kissed Laney on the cheek and returned to flipping the bacon. "I think it was the smelling salts."
Both girls laughed as Laney replied, "Umm, yeah. That must be it. Let's go with that. Listen, I want to thank you for the best birthday present I have ever had, but let's not ever do that again okay?"
"Never again? You didn't enjoy it or did you enjoy it too much?" Kellie asked as she placed the bacon on a plate.
"I think I enjoyed it too much. I am getting embarrassed wondering whom all those people were."
"Don't worry Laney. I will never tell. Besides, I am not sure if I want to share you anymore."
Laney's face turned to shock. "What?"
"I am kidding Laney. Sit and let's eat."
The two women ate and resigned to the couches in the sitting room. They relaxed as they watched a chick flick on the television. Kellie scooted to her side and placed her head on Laney's lap, draping her feet over the side of the couch. Laney felt a little awkward, but after all that happened earlier today, this was nothing.
"I want to tell you something I have been thinking about Laney." Kellie said with a soft tone as she looked up at Laney.
"What's up?"
"I think I am in love, but I don't know how to tell the person."
"Are you kidding me Laney? You bitch. I cannot believe you have been holding back from me. What is his name? Where did you meet him?"
Kellie stared into Laney's eyes. Laney could see the serious look in Kellie's face. She was excited to find out who Kellie was in love with. Was it one of the guys at the party last night? Kellie began to do a mental inventory of all the men at the party.
"Well. I don't know how to tell the person. Should I just blurt it out? I am not sure how that person will react." Kellie said.
