When the ocean rise and thunders roll, will you stay by my side?
I walk back into my tiny office and Darcy pretends to look at something on her phone as I sit next to her.
"Really?"
"What?"
"You are the world's worst spy."
"Good thing I'm a lesbian."
I shook my head as the laughter erupted from me and I ran my fingers through my hair before resting my chin on my hands.
"Do you think I should take him back?"
"That's a pretty shitty thing to do but I mean, he sounds sincere."
I bit the bottom of my lip as I took out my phone and searched for the wretched text since I couldn't convince myself to delete it.
"Did you really lose your virginity to him?"
"Gosh, eavesdrop much?" I shook my head at her remark and leaned back as I folded my arms. "At least I lost it, rumor has it, you're still one."
"That rumor is false."
I shot up in my chair as my curiosity got the better of me. "Oh my gosh, who was it? I thought that you were afraid of the whole 'penetration thing'."
"I was-"
"Who was he? Is he someone from our college? One of Carrie's friends? A one night stand?"
"No-" she laughed "God no, none of that. It was by a girl."
"What? That's impossible. Was she a transgender?"
"You know about transgenders?" She looked at me incredulously and I rolled my eyes. "Good for you for being involved with the community, and no, she used a strap on."
"Wasn't that painful? Isn't that like, worse than the actual thing?"
"Kinda... I guess. She's an expert so it didn't really hurt there."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
Darcy threw her head back with laughter as she saw my wide eyes and scared look.
"Oh god, nothing drastic Jane. She just created pain and pleasure all over so when it did happen my body was still tryna wrap it's head around everything."
"Oh. I'm still confused."
"Gosh-"
She looked down at her lunch as if trying to decide how to explain it to me and I watched as she failed to hide her smile.
"Have you ever heard of dominatrix?"
"What?"
"It's a woman who dominates others for sheer pleasure."
"Like b**m?"
"Yeah, exactly!"
"Oh... So you're into b**m?"
"Yeah, you can say so."
"Is it a job or a hobby?"
"Both... You should swing by sometime. It's at Black Panther's."
"Black Panther's? On Pepper street?"
"Yup."
"Oh."
I stared down at the half eaten fries before me and contemplated throwing it out but couldn't just waste money. After dealing with Ryder and then hearing Darcy's weird s*x story, my appetite was gone for good.
"If you're not gonna eat it just slide it along. I'm always hungry."

"Bye." I said as I poked my head into my boss's office.
He was wrapped up in some paperwork and as much as I wanted to stay and help, I really wasn't looking forward to an all nighter.
"Bye Jane." He responded without looking up.
I shook my head as I walked out the front door and towards my car. Taking my key out, I was in the car and dashing down the street within the minute and a few minutes later, I was home. I knocked cautiously before entering and still I closed my eyes as I walked in.
Peeking through my fingers I saw Carrie lying on the sofa texting away on her phone and I exhaled. As soon as she saw me she sat up and I braced myself for her onslaught of questions.
"Good you're home, we need to talk."
"Awe man, do we?"
"Haha you're very hilarious." She patted the space next to her and I took a seat on the table.
"Are you serious?"
"As a heart attack."
"Fine. I know you're now getting used to the same s*x concept and I just wanted to apologize for what you saw last night. Roni and I had no idea you were up and it kinda just happened."
"Quick question."
"Okay?"
"Why is it that homosexual couples are always so horny and have s*x or masterbate so often?"
"I don't know."
"Okay." I got up in an attempt to head to my room.
"That's it?"
"What's it?"
"That's all you're going to say on the matter?"
"Yup."
"Janey."
"There's nothing else to say. I'm not mad that you were humping your girlfriend on our couch or that it was weird or that I'll never sit on that chair ever again because I really don't care that much and I'm already over it. I know this is your lifestyle now and I respect that."
I closed my door behind me and laid on my bed as I tried to calm my mind. This past week has been so hectic that it would be a miracle if I came out unscathed. I sighed deeply as I looked up at my ceiling and vaguely wondered if I should just call Ryder and see what he was doing.
I hated the fact that he was at Diego's house. I get that they were friends since they were young but Diego was involved with drugs and alcohol and he was too rough around the edges for my liking.
"Jane?"
"Yea?" I answered snapping back to reality.
Carrie was standing at my doorway and I smiled up at her as she was fully dressed.
"You're going out with Veronica?"
"Am no, she's with her mom in Canada so I'll be alone for the next two weeks."
"That sucks."
"Yeah, so am, I was wondering if you could drop me off for my checkup."
"Of course." I quickly got up from my bed, showered and dressed before I drove her to the hospital.
Even though she can drive herself she preferred people in the car with her unless she didn't have too. Twenty minutes later we were stepping off the elevator and I walked my cousin to the doctor before I hugged her goodbye. She had made plans with her friend Brian and so I had the house for the night.
I took a quick drive to the store and grabbed a few snacks for home and I mentally prepared myself for a marathon of How to get away with Murder. I smiled the entire way home and when I got there I placed my shitload of snacks on my blanket on the floor and searched for the series on Netflix.
I quickly went to my room and switched into my nightgown before turning off the lights and snuggling in my blankets.
Before the first episode was even finished my heart was pounding and my eyes hadn't been unglued since it started. Just as one of the cast knocked at the door someone did the same and I screamed for no apparent reason. When I realized my stupidity I mentally scolded myself and got up to check the door.
To my surprise, Darcy was standing with popcorn and wine, dressed shockingly in a denim rampa dress.
"Rumor has it you're home alone so I'm here to liven up the place."
