Chapter 65: First Time for Everything

Olivia came out of the bathroom in a red skirt and white cowl neck halter top.  “How do I look?” 

 

“Damn, baby!  You are smoking!” Alex said, dropping her mascara on the table and running over to her.  She ran her hands down her arms.  “I’m gonna have to beat the chicks away with a stick!”

 

Serena smiled.  “You look amazing, Liv!”

 

“I agree,” Casey added.

 

“Your lips look so kissable,” Alex said with a grin.

 

Olivia waggled her eyebrows.  “Then why don’t you prove it?”

 

“Gladly,” Alex replied, holding her face in her hands and planting a big kiss on her lips.  Pulling back several seconds later, she asked, “How was that?”

 

With a dopey grin, Olivia answered, “I dunno.  Can I get a little more?”

 

Serena rolled her eyes.  “Great.  We’re gonna be here all night.”

 

Alex ignored her and said, “Sure.”  She grabbed her face again and gave her a deep, sensual kiss.  Olivia ran her hands over Alex’s back as she reveled in her taste.

 

“Hellooooooooooooooooo,” Casey interrupted.

 

They pulled back from each other and giggled.  “Hey, this is Alex’s fault!  She got me all worked up!” Olivia said.

 

Alex poked her in the stomach.  “You’re the one who wanted ‘a little more.’”

 

Casey nudged Serena and quipped, “Seems like Liv was going for the platinum package.”

 

Serena giggled.  “I’ll say.”

 

“Oh, no worries.  I’ll get it later on tonight,” Olivia said, a wide grin on her face.

 

“Ready to use our hot new fakes?” Alex asked Serena and Casey.

 

They both nodded excitedly.  “Hell yeah!” Serena said.

 

Alex smiled at Olivia.  “Think I look sexy enough?”  She did a full turn to model her outfit, which was a magenta tube dress that ended just a couple inches below her hips.

 

Olivia licked her lips and nodded.  “You’ve got my heart racing, baby.”

 

“Good.  You think it makes me look 21?  I don’t want the bouncer knowing my ID is fake.”

 

Olivia nodded again.  “You’re fine, sweetie.”

 

“Thanks,” Alex said.  She finished applying her mascara and then pulled out several M.A.C. lipglasses.  “Which should I wear, Liv?”

 

Olivia laughed and shook her head.  “Should I do eenie, meenie, minie, moe?”

 

Alex gave her a look.  “Babe…”

 

“All right, all right,” Olivia conceded with a sigh.  She pointed to a glossy one that matched Alex’s dress.  “Go with that one.”

 

Alex grinned and turned to the mirror to start applying it.  “It’s perfect.  Can you get my stilettos?”

 

Olivia got them for her and handed them to her with a smirk.  “Don’t twist an ankle!  I don’t want to have to carry you off the dance floor.”

 

“Hey, don’t jinx me!” Alex replied.  After putting on her heels, she ran a brush through her hair one more time and asked, “How do I look now?”

 

Olivia looked her up and down and let out a wolf whistle.  “Like a total babe.”

 

Alex grinned and grabbed her keys.  “Ok.  Let’s get this show on the road.”

 

**************

 

Once they were inside the club, Alex looked around and said over the noise, “Wow, this place is amazing!”

 

Olivia smiled.  “Glad you like it.  So what do you guys think?” she asked, turning to Serena and Casey.

 

“Awesome!” Serena answered.

 

Casey wrapped an arm around her girlfriend’s waist.  “It’s really nice!  So many hot girls!”

 

Serena looked at her.  “Hey now.”

 

Casey planted a kiss on her cheek.  “But I only have eyes for you, sweetie.”

 

Serena smirked.  “Much better.”

 

Alex grabbed Olivia’s hand and pointed across the room.  “Hey, there’s an empty sofa over there.  What do you say we all just sit down and take in the scene first?”

 

Casey shrugged.  “Fine by me.”

 

They navigated their way through the crowd.  Olivia sat down and pulled Alex into her lap.  Alex wrapped her arms around her neck and said, “I think this seat is more comfy.”

 

Olivia ran a hand up a calf.  “Your legs are so silky.”

 

Alex grinned.  “Isn’t that the way you like ’em?”

 

“Oh yeah.  I could rub on them all night,” she replied, continuing to stroke.

 

Alex brushed a lock of hair out of Olivia’s eyes.  “I hope they won’t be the only thing you rub on…”

 

Olivia slowly ran her tongue over her top lip and responded huskily, “Oh, no worries.  My intentions were a bit farther north.”

 

“Well, then,” Serena began, fanning herself.  “Is it getting a little hot in here or is it just me?”

 

“You want an amaretto sour?” Casey asked, giving her a knowing smile.

 

Serena grinned.  “You read my mind.”

 

While Casey was waiting for the bartender to mix the drink, someone suddenly bumped into her and spilled her Mai Tai all over her blue top.  “Oh, I’m so sorry!” the girl apologized.  She set the glass on the bar and grabbed some napkins.

 

As angry as Casey was, she decided not to bite her head off.  “It’s ok,” she said, taking the napkins and rubbing off the liquid.

 

“I feel like such a klutz!” the girl exclaimed, shaking her head.  She picked up another napkin.  “Here, let me help you.”  She dabbed at her shirt.

 

“Thanks,” Casey replied.

 

“So you’re here for the break?”

 

“Yeah,” Casey answered.  The bartender put her drink in front of her and she reached in her pocket to get the money.

 

“Let me get that.”

 

“No, it’s ok.  I got it,” Casey insisted.

 

“It’s the least I could do.  Please?” she asked, smiling at her.

 

A stubborn smile curled at Casey’s lips.  “Ok.”

 

She paid the bartender and then turned to Casey again.  “So what’s your name?”

 

“Casey.  What’s yours?”

 

“Kim,” she answered, holding out her hand.

 

Casey shook it.  “Nice to meet you, Kim.”

 

“You, too.  Sorry we couldn’t meet on more amenable terms,” she said with a chuckle. 

 

Casey laughed.  “True.”  She picked up the drink.  “Well, I have to get this back to my girlfriend.  She’s probably wondering what’s taking so long.”

 

“Ok.  Maybe I’ll see you around,” Kim said with a bright smile.

 

Casey returned to their group and handed the drink to Serena.  “Baby, what happened?” Serena asked.

 

“A girl accidentally wasted her drink on me,” Casey muttered, sitting down beside her on the sofa.

 

“Ugh!  It sucks how clumsy people are in public!” Serena sympathized.  “Did she even apologize?”

 

Casey smiled.  “Yeah.  She felt so bad that she even bought your drink.”

 

Olivia grinned.  “Maybe she can spill something on me so I can get a free drink!”

 

Alex laughed.  “Hey now!  I don’t want any other girls buying you drinks!”

 

Serena took a sip of her drink.  “Thank you, sweetie.  Sorry you had to go through so much to get it!”

 

Casey leaned in and kissed her forehead.  “It was well worth it for you.”

 

Serena giggled.  “I love you.”

 

“Love you, too,” she replied, rubbing her nose against Serena’s.  “I need to go try to wash this stain out.  I’ll be back.”

 

Serena quickly took another sip of her amaretto sour and then handed it to Olivia.  “I’ll help you,” she told Casey.

 

Olivia smirked.  “What am I?  Your drinksitter?”

 

Serena grabbed Casey’s hand and laughed.  “I’ll love you forever if you just hold it for me for a few.  Promise I’ll return the favor.”

 

“You just wanna grope Casey!” Olivia replied, rubbing Alex’s side with her free hand.

 

Serena grinned as her girlfriend began pulling her in the direction of the bathroom.  “Thanks!” she called over her shoulder.

 

Once they were in the bathroom, Serena turned on the faucet and wet a paper towel.  She added a tiny drop of soap to it and then scrubbed away at the spot on Casey’s shirt.

 

Casey smiled as Serena’s other hand rested against a breast.  “I knew you just wanted an excuse to touch my boobs!”

 

Serena looked up as she continued to scrub.  “Do I need one?”

 

Casey laughed.  “Not at all.”

 

“Good answer,” Serena said, giving her breast a quick squeeze.

 

One of the stall doors opened.  Casey turned her head and was surprised when she saw who it was. 

 

Kim’s mouth dropped open in amusement.  “Well, I didn’t expect us to meet again so soon, Casey!”

 

Casey smiled.  “I know, right?”

 

Serena wrinkled her brow.  She looked from one to the other.  “You guys know each other?”

 

Kim laughed.  “No, not really.  I’m afraid I’m the one who’s the cause of this mishap,” she said, gesturing at the stain.

 

Serena nodded.  “Ah, ok.  Well it was nice of you to pay for the drink.”

 

Kim smiled.  “It was nothing.  I’m assuming you’re her girlfriend?”

 

Serena smiled back.  “That’s right.  I’m Serena.”

 

“Aww, you two make a cute couple!”

 

“Thanks,” they answered together.

 

“How long have you been together?” she inquired, washing her hands.

 

“Officially—since New Year’s.  Unofficially—a couple weeks before that,” Serena answered.

 

“Do you have a girlfriend?” Casey asked.

 

Kim laughed again and shook her head.  “I actually just broke up with my boyfriend.”

 

“So you’re bi?” Serena asked.

 

“Oh, no.  I’m straight.”

 

Casey and Serena’s eyes bulged.  “Straight?  In a lesbian club?” Casey asked.

 

“I’m here with a couple lesbian friends,” Kim explained.  “It’s only been a week since I broke up with Brad and I’m not interested in putting myself back on the market just yet.  So that’s why I didn’t go with my other friends to a regular club.  This way I don’t have to worry about any guys trying to hook up with me.”

 

Serena laughed.  “Yeah, I don’t blame ya.  Are you from the area?”

 

“No.  I live about an hour and a half south of here.  I came up with my friends so I could enjoy my last week with them before I have to transfer to my new high school.”

 

Serena smiled slyly.  “So I guess those fakes are pretty popular, huh?”

 

Kim grinned.  “Yeah.”

 

“That sucks to have to transfer so late in the year,” Casey said.

 

A look of sadness came over Kim’s face.  “Tell me about it,” she replied quietly.

 

“So which school are you transferring to?” Serena asked.

 

“Madison.”

 

Casey and Serena’s mouths dropped open in grins.  “Get outta here!” Casey said.

 

“That’s our school!” Serena added.

 

Kim’s eyes widened and her whole face lit up.  “Really?  This is great!  I was so bummed about going to a new school where I didn’t know anyone.”

 

Serena threw the paper towel in the trash and took her hand.  “Come on.  We’ll introduce you to our other friends.  They’re really cool.  You’ll love them!”

 

The three of them returned to find Olivia and Alex making out.  Casey looked at Serena and whispered, “Gee, what a surprise.”  She cleared her throat loudly but to no avail.  Leaning forward, she tugged Alex’s hair.  “Hey, trying to get your attention here!”

 

Without breaking the kiss, Alex flipped her off.  Serena announced, “As much as it will pain the two of you to stop tickling each other’s tonsils, we have someone we want you to meet.”

 

They reluctantly pulled apart and turned to face them.  “Pick up a chick for a threesome?” Olivia teased, grinning and handing Serena her drink.  Alex giggled and scooted off her lap.

 

Casey laughed.  “Not exactly.  This is the girl who spilled her drink on me.  She’s also gonna be a new student at Madison.”

 

Olivia and Alex looked at each other in surprise.  Turning back, Alex asked, “Seriously?”

 

“Yeah,” Kim answered with a smile.  “Name’s Kim Greylek.”  She held out her hand.

 

They both shook it.  “I’m Alex.  Pleased to meet you,” Alex said. 

 

“Yeah,” Olivia agreed.  “I’m Olivia.  You can hang out with us.  We’d be glad to show you around once you move to our neck of the woods.”

 

Kim nodded.  “I’d like that.  My parents and I are gonna spend the weekend moving into our new house.  Kinda sucks that my break is cut short, but hey, that’s life,” she shrugged.

 

“You have a girlfriend?” Alex asked.

 

“No.  I’m straight,” Kim responded.

 

Olivia exchanged a curious glance with Alex and turned back to Kim.  “Until you’re not,” she said.

 

Alex laughed softly.  “Totally.”

 

Kim smiled politely.  “I was telling Serena and Casey that I recently broke up with my boyfriend and I’m here with friends to avoid having to ward off horny guys.”

 

Alex grinned.  “Now you just have to worry about horny girls!”

 

Kim laughed.  “I don’t mind.  Girls are completely non-threatening.”

 

Olivia smiled.  “Famous last words.”  She turned to Alex and asked, “You want a drink, sweetie?”

 

“Just water,” Alex said sheepishly.

 

“Come on, sweetie.  It’s your first lesbian club and your first time using your ID.  Don’t you want a drink to celebrate?”

 

Alex looked down at the floor.  “It’s just…I’m still embarrassed about how I acted Saturday night.”

 

Olivia rubbed her back soothingly.  “I understand.  But everything’s ok now.  We all make mistakes.  Just pace yourself this time.”

 

“Are you sure?” Alex asked, chewing her bottom lip.

 

Olivia thought she looked so pitifully adorable.  “Come here, cutie,” she said, pulling her to her and capturing her lips.  She turned to the rest of them and continued, “We’ll be back in a few.”  She then took Alex’s hand and led her over to the bar.  “What’ll it be, hot stuff?”

 

Alex smiled, appreciating Olivia’s compliment.  “Since I am the one driving, I’ll just have a Smirnoff Ice.”

 

“A Smirnoff Ice and a Heineken, please,” Olivia said, throwing her money on the counter.

 

Once they had their drinks, Olivia smiled at her and asked, “What do ya say we hit the dance floor?”

 

Alex grinned and sipped her Smirnoff.  “You got it, sexy.”

 

Olivia led her to a spot right under the disco ball.  Taking a swig of beer, she put a hand at the small of Alex’s back and brought her in close.  Alex draped an arm across her shoulder and started moving her hips in rhythm to the beat. 

 

As they danced, Olivia pressed her forehead against hers and ran her hand over her hips.  Alex ran her hand through her hair and down the back of her neck.  Staring into her eyes, she said, “I’m glad my first club experience is with you.  In fact, I’m glad that a lot of my firsts have been with you.”

 

Olivia smiled warmly.  “That means so much to me to hear you say that.”

 

Alex straddled her leg and brought her other arm around her neck.  “Just speaking the truth.”

 

As Alex began grinding against her thigh, Olivia brought her hand up her side and teased, “Someone’s horny.”

 

“Is that a protest?” Alex asked, a sly smile playing at her lips as she drummed her fingers at the back of her neck.

 

“Hey, you know I’d never have any objections,” Olivia said, rubbing her ass.

 

Alex sensually danced down her body, letting the tips of her fingers brush against her thigh.  She slowly moved back up and then turned around and began grinding her ass in Olivia’s crotch as she drank some of her Smirnoff.

 

Olivia slipped an arm around her waist and whispered in her ear, “You multitask so well.”

 

Throwing her arm back and hugging Olivia’s neck, Alex turned her head and tenderly captured her lips.  “How’s that for multitasking?”

 

“Even better,” Olivia murmured, kissing her again.  They rolled their stomachs in sync to keep pace with the music’s swelling tempo.

 

They almost didn’t notice when the song had ended.  “How about another?” Olivia asked, her brown eyes twinkling.

 

Alex smiled.  “I’d love that, babe.”

 

“Yeah?” Olivia asked, nipping Alex’s bottom lip.

 

Alex snuggled closer.  “Yeah,” she said softly.

 

Olivia let her fingers dance across a bare shoulder and grinned when Alex shivered lightly against her.   She slid her hand down to the small of her back and said, “Baby, if you’re trembling now, just wait until I get you back to the hotel.”

 

Alex swayed her hips gently to the music and licked her lips.  “Tell me what you’re gonna do to me.”

 

“Well…” Olivia started, leaning in to kiss her behind her ear.  “I’m going to slowly take off this tight little number.”  She kissed her behind her other ear.  “Then I’m going to caress your body from head to toe as I kiss you in all the spots that drive you absolutely fucking wild…”  Alex moaned.  Olivia continued, “After you’re dripping wet, I’m going to drive my tongue so far inside you that your screams will be heard on the other side of the equator.”

 

“Are you gonna make me beg for it?” Alex asked, placing soft kisses on her neck.

 

Olivia ran her hand under Alex’s dress and squeezed a firm cheek.  She could feel her heat spreading.  “Oh, yes.”

 

“I like the sound of that,” Alex replied, her mouth crashing into Olivia’s.

 

When their lips parted, another song had already started.  Olivia laughed and said, “I don’t even know when we stopped dancing!”

 

Alex smiled.  “I don’t know either.  I was too busy letting you seduce me.”

 

Olivia drank the last of her beer and said, “And you enjoyed every second of it.”

 

“That I did,” Alex replied, taking her hand and leading her back over to their friends.

 

Casey looked up at them and smiled, “Looks like you two had a bit of fun on the dance floor.”

 

Olivia sat down and pulled Alex into her lap.  “You’re observant,” Olivia said slyly.

 

Alex giggled and drank some more of her Smirnoff.  “She sure is.”

 

“So were you guys bored to tears without us?” Olivia teased, kissing Alex’s cheek.

 

Serena placed her head on Casey’s shoulder and replied, “Nah, I think we were able to manage.”

 

Casey smiled and kissed her forehead.  “We certainly were.”

 

Olivia rubbed Alex’s thigh and said, “Yep, I’ll say.”  She turned to Kim.  “Hey, I hope you don’t feel like the 5th wheel or anything.”

 

With a dismissive wave of her hand, Kim answered, “Oh, don’t worry about me!  I’m fine.”

 

“You wanna come back to our room?” Alex asked.  “We can get to know each other in a setting that’s not so crowded and noisy.”

 

Kim nodded.  “I’d like that very much.  Just let me tell my friends, ok?”

 

“No problem,” Alex said, flashing her a smile.

 

Kim returned a few minutes later with her friends.  After she’d introduced them to the gang, they said goodbye to her. 

 

When they got to Alex’s SUV, Kim exclaimed, “Wow!  This is a neat car!”

 

Alex smiled and unlocked the doors.  “Thanks.  It was a birthday present.”

 

“She got two cars for her birthday,” Olivia said, getting in and fastening her seatbelt.

 

“Yeah, the other’s a Mercedes convertible,” Serena added.

 

Kim smiled.  “Nice!  I have a red Bimmer.”

 

“Cool!” Casey replied.

 

“So what grade are you?” Olivia asked.

 

“Sophomore,” she answered.

 

“Nice,” Alex answered, sparing a glance at her in her rearview mirror.  “All of us are sophomores except Olivia, who’s a junior.”

 

“So now I get to hang out with four sophomores instead of just three,” Olivia joked.  “Damn you younguns!”

 

Alex swatted her arm.  “Hey!  Don’t get so cocky, Little Miss Junior.  You’re only a year older.”

 

Kim pointed at the dashboard.  “Is that Tweety Bird?”

 

Olivia, Casey, and Serena collectively rolled their eyes.  “Unfortunately, yes,” Olivia confirmed, which warranted another swat from Alex.

 

“You’ll also notice that she has a Tweety wheel cover,” Casey added.

 

“There will be no Tweety hating in my car!” Alex stated firmly.

 

Kim put her hands up.  “Hey, that’s fine with me.  Whatever floats your boat.”

 

Olivia reached over and patted Alex on the shoulder.  “You know we’re just teasing, baby.”  She moved her hand down to her fully exposed thigh.  “I love the um…accessibility this dress provides.”

 

“In layman’s terms—you love how it comes up to her ass when she sits down,” Casey said.

 

Ignoring Casey, Alex turned to Olivia and grinned.  “You’re just trying to get back on my good side.”

 

Olivia moved her fingers to the inside of her thigh, dangerously close to her center.  “Is it working?”

 

“I need more time to deliberate,” Alex replied, smiling slyly.

 

Olivia put her face in her hands.  “No, not more lawyer talk!”

 

“You wanna be a lawyer?” Kim asked Alex.  “I do, too!”

 

Alex looked at her in the rearview mirror.  “Cool!”

 

Olivia turned around and asked in mock anger, “You, too?  Now I have four future lawyers to contend with!”  She shook her head.  “I’m doomed!”

 

Kim laughed.  “I didn’t know everyone else wanted to be lawyers, too!  What do you want to be?”

 

Olivia smiled and answered, “A detective.”

 

“That’s really great,” Kim complimented.  “I know you’ll be perfect for the job.” 

 

A few minutes later, they pulled up to the hotel and took the elevator to Alex and Olivia’s room. 

 

Alex grabbed her laptop and they all sat around her on the bed.  She began showing Kim various photo albums. 

 

“So you’re a cheerleader?” Kim asked.

 

“Yep.  I’m also on the gymnastics team,” Alex replied.

 

“That’s awesome,” Kim said. 

 

“Serena’s a cheerleader and gymnast, too,” Casey said, proudly patting Serena on the back.  “And I play softball.”

 

“And I’m on the swim team and the basketball team,” Olivia added. 

 

Alex kissed her on the cheek and then turned to Kim.  “She’s the best on both!”

 

Kim smiled.  “Nice.  I’ll be sure to come out and watch all of you in action.”

 

Casey smirked and jerked her thumb in Alex and Olivia’s direction.  “Yeah, and if you hang around those two long enough, you’ll get your fill of action.”

 

Alex rolled her eyes.  “Oh, you should be a comedian.”

 

Olivia nipped Alex’s earlobe and wrapped an arm around her waist.  “I can’t help it if my baby is irresistibly sexy.”

 

Alex giggled and snuggled closer.  “Says the smoking hot brunette.”

 

“I really like that picture of you,” Kim said, pointing to a picture of Olivia tapping Alex on the nose.  “You guys look so happy and in love.”

 

Alex laid her head on Olivia’s shoulder and replied, “Aw, thanks.”

 

Olivia rubbed her hand softly up and down Alex’s arm and asked Kim, “So, have you ever kissed a girl?”

 

“Remember?  She’s straight,” Serena reminded her.

 

Olivia smirked.  “Yeah, straight to the nearest girl!”

 

Kim laughed.  “You guys don’t give up, do you?”

 

Alex grinned and said to Olivia, “Notice how she’s avoiding the question.”

 

“Ok, ok.  I’ll answer,” Kim conceded.  “No, I haven’t.”

 

“Would you ever?” Olivia asked.

 

Kim shrugged.  “Well, I won’t say never because who knows where life will lead you?  I could see myself maybe kissing a girl at a party or something.  You know, just for fun.”

 

“Would you do it as a dare?” Casey asked.

 

Kim smiled.  “Is that a challenge?”

 

“At the next party back home, we’ll have to find a hot girl for you to kiss,” Casey replied.

 

“How is kissing a girl different from kissing a guy?” Kim asked.

 

“Girls are softer, smoother,” Alex explained.  “Kissing a guy just never felt right to me.”

 

“Girls smell better, too,” Serena added with a grin.

 

“And they’re more tuned into our needs,” Casey said, smiling at her girlfriend.

 

“Yeah,” Olivia agreed.  “They pay attention to all the small things that make a big difference.”

 

“Sex with Serena is much, much better than it ever was with my ex-boyfriend.  She makes me feel so many things he never did.  She knows all my hotspots,” Casey added, leaning in to kiss her.

 

Kim watched as they explored each other’s mouths softly and gently.  She became more intrigued with each moment.  She definitely was no stranger to seeing girls kiss, but this time something just felt different.  It was the first time something was stirring inside her and she didn’t know why.

Her thoughts were interrupted by Olivia saying, “You haven’t seen a kiss until you’ve seen this.”  She enveloped Alex’s mouth in a probing, steamy kiss.  Alex moaned into her mouth and gently massaged the back of her neck.

 

Casey parted from Serena and shook her head.  “I think you’re gonna get more than just a kiss with them.”

 

“That’s for sure,” Serena agreed.  “Just duck if clothes start flying off.”

 

After a few more minutes, they broke the kiss and gasped for air.  “Wow, that was intense,” Kim said.

 

“You’re tellin’ me,” Alex replied, licking her lips.

 

A goofy grin crossed Olivia’s face.  She leaned back against the headboard and proclaimed, “Yep.  Alex can’t resist these lips.”

 

Alex playfully swatted her.  “Oh hush, you.”

 

“I have to admit, both your kisses were pretty hot,” Kim complimented. 

 

“Thanks,” Serena replied.  “Casey’s a phenomenal kisser.”

 

“So is Liv,” Alex replied, laying her head on her chest and sighing happily.

 

“So do your parents know about your relationships?” Kim asked.

 

Casey shook her head.  “Both my parents and Serena’s are Catholic so telling them we’re involved is outta the question.”

 

“Alex’s mom already knows,” Olivia explained.  “She supports us, but her dad doesn’t know yet.  And my mom is really homophobic.  If I told her I was gay and in love with Alex, she’d flip her shit.”

 

“Aw, that sucks.  Why can’t people see that love is blind?  It knows no race or gender,” Kim sympathized.

 

“Because they’re stuck in the Middle Ages,” Alex grumbled.

 

“How long have you two been together?” Kim asked.

 

“Since the beginning of September,” Olivia answered.

 

“We took a short break around November but were back together before Christmas,” Alex added.

 

“Ha!” Serena snorted.  “Break, my ass.  They still spent almost all their time together.”

 

Olivia stroked Alex’s hair softly and said, “What can I say?  We’re inseparable.”

 

Kim smiled.  “You two seem so perfect for each other.  Why’d you break up?”

 

Olivia sighed deeply.  “It was my fault.  I freaked out a couple times because I was afraid of being outed to everyone.  The first time was at the end of October at a party after the homecoming dance.  My ex-boyfriend caught me and Alex…you know…in the bathroom.”

 

Kim’s mouth dropped open.  “Wow, are you serious?  That’s gotta be um, awkward.”

 

“Yeah, it was.  But we got back together five days later, though.  Then the very next day stupid me freaked out again and called it off.”

 

“So what made you wake up and smell the coffee, so to speak?” Kim asked.

 

“Well, the night after that I was at the football game.  I went with this guy and after the game we went back to his car and started to hook up.”  Feeling Alex tense up, she leaned down to kiss her head softly.  “But right before we were gonna have sex he said some things that pissed me off.  So I pushed him off me and left the car.  It was just my luck that Serena was standing right there because we were blocking her and Alex from leaving.  Then Alex got out of Serena’s car, saw the condom wrapper drop from the guy’s hand and basically ripped into me.  We got into a huge fight and said a lot of hurtful things to each other.”  Her voice caught and her eyes began to tear up.  “The thing that made me wake up was when Alex told me she hated me and didn’t know what she’d ever seen in me.  I…I just couldn’t take it.”

 

Alex sat up and kissed her cheek.  “Don’t cry, sweetie.  That’s all forgiven now, ok?”

 

Olivia looked into her eyes and ran her thumb down her lips.  “I almost lost you for good.”

 

“But you didn’t,” Alex murmured, stroking her cheek. 

 

“How’d you two works things out?” Kim asked.

 

“That following Monday I went to her and begged for forgiveness,” Olivia explained.  “She told me that she was hurting too much to take me back.  So I asked if we could at least be friends.  She told me to give her a week and she’d see.  So after that week was up, we slowly started building back our friendship.”

 

Kim pouted.  “That must’ve been so hard.  I mean…knowing you’re in love but that you have to act like you’re just friends.  How’d you guys stand it without going crazy?”

 

Alex laughed.  “I think we did go a little crazy.  The connection between us had never left and there were so many times where I just wanted to be like ‘fuck it!’ and kiss her!”

 

“You’re telling me!” Olivia agreed.  “We could cuddle, but being right beside her and not being able to kiss or make love to her was so hard!”

 

Kim picked up a pillow and squeezed it to her chest.  “So what brought about the reunion?”

 

Olivia looked at Alex and grinned.  “Should I tell her or do you want to?”

 

Alex giggled.  “I’ll do it!”  She rubbed her nose against Olivia’s and then looked at Kim.  “Well, Liv was helping me wrap Christmas presents.  I asked her what she wanted for Christmas and she said, ‘You.’  Then she pulled out these beautiful necklaces.”  She held hers up for Kim to see.  Olivia held up hers as well.  “She asked me to be with her again and promised me that she’d never run away again.  So I said yes.”

 

“Aww,” Serena, Casey, and Kim cooed.

 

“She also said yes when I gave her this ring,” Olivia said, grinning proudly as she held up Alex’s hand for Kim to see.

 

Kim also noticed Olivia’s identical ring.  “They’re gorgeous!  You two are engaged?”

 

Alex smiled.  “Not exactly.  They’re promise rings.”

 

“Yep.  We exchanged them on Valentine’s,” Olivia added.

 

“Aw!  That’s so romantic!” Kim exclaimed.

 

“Yeah.  And you’ll never guess how she did it!” Alex said.

 

“How?” Kim asked.

 

“Well, she’d prepared this wonderful dinner for me.  When it was time for dessert, I felt my fork hit something hard.  So I pulled this ring out of the Bavarian cream and was completely floored.”

 

Kim’s mouth dropped.  “Wow!  That’s so cute and creative!”

 

Casey smiled.  “Yeah.  I can only imagine how Liv’s proposal will be.”

 

Alex looked at her and folded her arms.  “How do you know I won’t propose to her?”

 

Olivia’s smile widened.  “Well, aren’t you just full of surprises?”

 

Alex straddled her waist and put her hands on her shoulders.  “Can you guess what surprise I have in store now?”

 

Casey smirked and commented, “That’s not really a surprise.”

 

Serena gasped.  “Alex, are you wearing any underwear?”

 

Alex looked over her shoulder.  “Of course I am, silly!”

 

“Are you wearing nude panties?” Serena asked sarcastically.

 

Alex rolled her eyes.  “No.  I have on a thong.”

 

Smiling, Olivia slipped her hands under Alex’s dress and started kneading her ass.  “Very effective.”

 

“I agree,” Alex replied.  She leaned in and whispered, “What you’re doing is also very effective at making me wet.”

 

Kim looked at Casey and Serena and asked, “Were we supposed to hear that?”

 

Casey laughed.  “You catch on quickly.”

 

Olivia ignored them.  “I know something that works a little better,” she said slyly, leaning up to meet her lips.

 

Alex began rocking her hips against her waist.  “Mmm,” she moaned as she ran her hands over Olivia’s breasts.

 

Serena cleared her throat.  “Well, who wants to watch a movie?”

 

“Yeah.  A movie sounds great,” Casey agreed.

 

Groaning, Alex got off Olivia and said, “Ok, ok.  We get it.”  She went to get a couple movies off the desk.  “Here you go,” she said, handing one to Casey and then taking her seat beside Olivia.

 

Casey put the movie in and then turned out the lights.  “Remember we can still hear your moans even if we can’t see you,” she said, getting back into bed.  “So no funny stuff!”

 

Olivia smirked and pulled Alex near her as she said, “Only if you and Serena promise us the same thing.”

 

Serena laughed.  “I don’t make promises I have no intention of keeping.”

 

Alex threw a hand up.  “See!  And you talk about us.”

 

Serena giggled.  “Casey and I are just stealthier.”

 

Olivia whispered in Alex’s ear, “I’d like to engage in a little stealth loving.”

 

Alex whispered back, “How about we take a walk on the beach after the movie?  Just the two of us?”

 

Olivia ran her fingers across Alex’s stomach and replied, “I like the sound of that.”

 

When the movie ended and Casey turned the lights back on, Kim asked them, “So how are the teachers at Madison?  Are they chill?”

 

Olivia rolled her eyes.  “Some of them are.  Others are real nightmares.”

 

“Yeah,” Alex agreed.  She gestured at Serena and Casey and continued, “We all have constitutional law with Petrovsky and ugh, she is the biggest pain in the ass you will ever meet.”

 

Kim laughed.  “Wow.  Guess it’s a good thing the semester is already half over, huh?”

 

“You can say that again,” Casey murmured.

 

Kim looked at her watch.  “Well, I guess I’d better get going.  My friends will probably think I’ve been kidnapped or something.”

 

Casey laughed.  “Cool.  You wanna hang out again tomorrow?”

 

Kim smiled.  “Sure.  That seems like fun.  Let’s all exchange numbers.”

 

After everyone had, she grabbed her purse and said, “Ok.  Have a good night!”

 

“Night!” they all said back.

 

Kim was just about to enter her hotel room when she heard a raspy voice say, “Well, well, well, if it isn’t Kim Greylek.”
