Lucy's Boo

Chapter 17

I have been a total shell of myself. It has taken me a few weeks to get over what transpired during, what turned out to be, a horrible weekend. Dillan continues to call, text, email, whatever possible to get my attention to apologize. A part of me wants to have that conversation just so I can know what the hell he was thinking putting me in a position like that. The other part of me wants to run him over with my car. My mind replays each and every moment, urging me to lean towards the latter.

Laura has been my source of comfort through all of this. Gut-wrenching doesn't even describe the feeling I get when I think of sharing this with Irv. I just can't bring myself to do it. If I never put myself in the situation, would/could it have been avoided? Why even expect something so cruel to occur by a friend. Either way, I  pack it into a box, burying it in the back of my mind behind lock and key.

School entertains my mind. One benefit to all of this, my grades have been on point. I focus on nothing else. Homework and mindless thinking have been my daily routine.

Lounging on the sofa with my glass of wine, I channel surf, searching for anything I haven't seen before. I hear keys in the door. 

Laura comes around the corner, hardly able to contain her excitement.

"Meredith! Meredith!"

She sees me sitting there.

"Oh, good. You're sitting down."

"Hey hun. What's going on? Catch your breath before you pass out."

I crack a smile. Feels good to smile.

She makes herself comfortable next to me, almost kneeing me in my tit.

"Watch it with those. What is the deal?"

"I did it! I slept with Luna!" she says leaning back and exhaling slowly.

My ears tingle and I perk up, waiting to hear all of the details. Finally, a person to talk s*x without it being me.

"Tell me! Tell me everything."

"Ok.Ok." 

I have been waiting for her to have this moment. Fingers crossed that our little hands-on learning session did her some good. 

"Alright so...last night we went to dinner. Cute restaurant in Little Five Points. It was amazing. We talked, had drinks, just a fun time."

"What was the name of the restaurant?" My ass always thinking about some damn food.

"Ummm...don't remember. I'll have to ask her."

"OK. Continue."

"Ok. So, while at dinner, the topic of s*x comes up. The first thing I do is order me a shot. I was not about to go there being completely sober."

I laugh. Laura isn't much of a drinker. That is until she stressed out.

"A shot huh? Look at my baby growing up!"

I love hearing her laugh. "Shut up, Meredith!"

"Luna asks me if I had ever been intimate with a woman before."

My stomach drops. "You didn't!" I shouted.

"No!!" Laura sits up.

"I would never!! I told her that I kissed a girl once. That was it."

It's not that I have an issue with Laura telling Luna about what happened between us. Luna seems like the type who is understanding enough to get where she was coming from in that situation. Luna is also a female. Jealousy shows itself in various forms.

"What does she say?" me asking, relieved that our secret was safe.

"I think it turned her on honestly. Her face had a glow of intent come across it. My throat catched a little when she looked at me."

"I bet! You're a virgin in her eyes. Easy to train someone who hasn't been tainted."

"We know I'm not a virgin anymore." Immediately she flushes. I think she had a quick flashback.

"Yea so, anyway. She asks me questions about what I like, don't like. She tells me what she is into. Let me just say, mercy."

Fanning herself, she relaxes again.

"Enough with the s**t that doesn't matter. Get to the f*****g!"

"So impatient." Laura rolls her eye. "We get back to her place. It is a nice size loft in Atlantic Station. Big pane windows over looking the interstate. I have to admit, her view is way better than ours. Decorated in whites and greys, her home is so inviting. Sit on the couch too fast, and it will suck you in like quick sand. A king size bed sits to the left once you come in. White has to be her favorite color. She comes towards me and asks if I am ok in the living room or if I wanted to come into her room. My insides are warm, and I have this weird sensation between my legs. Each time I sat down or adjusted myself, it was like that damn vibrator you had going off. Luna is unaware of my inner discomfort, at least at that moment."

I slowly sip on the glass of Stella Rosa I felt necessary to have druing this story time. I am too familiar with that nagging vibration naturally created in nether regions by those who peak its interest. My thoughts wonder off to the first time I had that feeling: riding down 85 to Alabama to spend my first grown woman weekend with Irv. 

I feel it.

Laura continues.

"I told her I was ok with hanging out in her bed. She laughed at me. It took me a minute to realize what I had said. In some ways, it was the truth. You always tell me that the truth is easier to access when someone is under the influence."

"See, you gotta be careful. Tell on yourself and not even remember doing it." It tickles me that she is just NOW understanding what I meant.

"I go and lay across her bed. She tells me she will be right back. Should have known...should have known." The statement is accented with her shaking her head while putting her face in her hands. 

"Meredith, Luna came out of the bathroom, and all I could say with 'hot damn'! Standing there in the arch way is the body of goddess, esquisitly chiseled out of silk. Her hair is bone straight, jet black. Long, hitting just above her navel. Her breast full, waist small and had the nerve to have a six-pack. Her slender figure dressed in a bra and boyshorts...magnificently accentuating her hips. My mouth was on the floor!"

Damn. Luna is bad. Figured.

"She comes and sits next to me. My mouth is salivating so much, I had to keep swallowing to prevent myself from drooling."

I had to stop her.

"Drooling?? Couldn't have been that serious." Not downplaying her reaction...just super weird hearing her talk about it.

Chuckling, she says "Yes! Drooling."

"There she is, sitting there smelling like fresh sugar cookies. The sensation is now a throb. Before I knew it, I kissed her. Grabbed her by the back of her head, brought those cherry red lips to mine, and tongued her down."

I couldn't help but laugh at her enthusiasm. She was so proud of herself.

"It was like a switch flipped. Me on top of her, her on top of me, doing everything you showed me. The look on her face when I would to my tongue flicks and flips, was priceless."

Going into way too much detail, Laura shares what she was thinking when she decided to go down on her. She said she enjoyed that more that she thought she would. Luna put her in the 69 position, having Laura sit on her face.

I like her.

Sounded like she was going to explode again talking about it. 

"That is my ultimate favorite. Luna even put her finger in my ass!"

"SHE DID WHAT???" I blurted out. This girl is trying to turn my friend all the way out. I know too well what a finger in the ass will do while being pleasured by your lover's mouth. 

MIND-BLOWING!

"Meredith, I cannot explain what it was like when we came. We shared that moment together. I couldn't feel my body. I laid my head on her chest and slept like a baby."

Awww!! My friend!

"I am so happy that your first, true experience, was memorable like that. You will never forget it! So, the real question is: Are you guys a couple? I would hate for you to be all invested and it not lead anywhere."

Too many times have I read into a situation, and it turned out that he was just looking to have a good time, something casual. She isn't me, but I will kill the person who ever thinks they can hurt my girl.

"So...are you guys exclusive now?" I'm pestering for sure, but I don't give two shits.

"This morning I woke up to breakfast in bed" Laura starts. "On the tray is a red rose and a card. Inside the card, the corniest thing ever 'Will you be mine? Check Yes or No' I couldn't help but smile. Gave her a kiss and told her I was hers the first day we met."

I could cry.

"We are official now, and I can't wait to tell my family about her." Laura gets up and walks to the kitchen. I follow.

"So wait...your dad doesn't know about Luna?" Laur and her dad have an amazing relationship. One to envy, honestly. Surely she has mentioned one detail to him about Luna.

"Not yet. I wasn't sure what was going to happen between us, so I held off. No point in bringing this up if nothing was going to come of it."

"Makes sense to me. I can't tell you how happy I am for you. Regardless of what your mom's feelings were about the subject, I know she is happy that her baby girl is happy."

Laura looks at me and smiles. She knows that I'm telling the truth, which I believe allows her to be even more accepting of her own. 

"Enough about me and mine.How are you holding up? Dillan isn't still trying to contact you is he?"

Why did she have to take it there? I thought I was allowed to talk about it when I was ready.

"I would rather continue talking about your sexapades last night."

I'm not ready to deal. I want to forget. Please just let me forget.

"I'm sorry. I hate that a situation like that even happened. I almost kicked him in his s**t when I put him out."

Laura really isnt the confrontational type, but I could see her doing that in that moment.

I laugh. "No need. From what I gather, he feels terrible. Don't really know for sure because I refuse to talk to him right now. Kinda want to forget about it."

"Understood."

I take an apple from the fridge and make my way back to the sofa. For the rest of the evening, it will be me, my blanket, and you guessed it, Lifetime.

The the rest of the evening went just as planned. Laura ended up leaving not too long after. Can't remember the last time it was just me and peace.

I could get used to this.

The phone rings. Spoke too soon.

"Hello love." 

"Hey babe. How's my girl?"

"Oh you know, just sitting here, doing nothing. The usual."

Calm and soothing. The comfort and warmth he provides, even when not around, is unmeasurable.

"That's wonderful to hear." He sounds way too excited.

"What's going on with you?" I ask, curiousity getting the best of me.

"I was thinking, the past couple of weeks have been crazy for you."

He has no idea!

"You should come and visit. Get away from the city, relax and while you are here, we can go over the details for next month."

Hesitantly, I ask "Next month? What is happening next month?"

"You're kidding me, right?" He is all business now.

I rack my brain, going through our previous interactions with each other. Next month is April, which is Spring Break. I leap out of my seat, knocking over the water sitting on the coffee table in front of me.

"PARIS!!" I screamed.

"Yes. Paris. We have to get all the paperwork in for your passport. That can be done while  you are here."

Still screaming, "OH MY GOSH!! That's next month!!" I am consumed with excitement and instant anticipation.

"All the more reason why you need to get your cute ass down here, don't you think?" 

I run to my room and look at my wall calender. Just so happens, my Friday class has been cancelled. 

"You're in luck sir. Looks like you have won the grand prize of a four-day weekend with me."

"Four days huh? I only need a couple of hours for the paperwork stuff...the rest of the time you are mine. I don't think I have had you longer than two days to myself."

True statement. We have had overnight stays, but nothing like this or the week we are about to spend together in Paris. My nerves are kicking in, but the thought of it is overwhelming.

In a low growl, his whisper of desire, he says "Do you know what I could do to you in four uninterrupted days?" 

I do my best to ignore him. If I entertain it, I will end up flat on my back, with my phone placed between my legs, and him watching via FaceTime, having my sole snatched by a vibrator.

"I can't wait!"

Doing my happy dance, I am beyond excited to get away from this place and be where I feel most secure, in the arms of Irv.
