Chapter 6
An hour and a half later Sloane was just getting out of the shower, when her roomie Lindsay came back to their apartment. Lindsay walked through the TV room into the kitchen and grabbed a soda; she then headed back towards the bedrooms and into her personal space. While her walls were absolutely covered with pictures of men, bands, and artwork, her floors were likewise covered with clothes. Lindsay loved to shop and was an absolute fashion diva, which could be seen by the clothes that were covering her petite 5' frame: tight flare jeans, that hugged her thighs, a tiny white "condom" pocket tee, which molded her upper body, and high heeled tan sandals from Aldo. Lindsay opened her Coke and sat down at her computer; she quickly checked her mail and decided to take a nap, before she went out with her boyfriend Eric tonight. It was about 5:00, so she set her alarm to wake her up at 6:30.
Meanwhile Sloane was in her room, putting on some shorts and a tee, and getting ready to do her hair. She dried her hair then straightened it, and by the time that was done it was 6:00. 'Oh good I have plenty of time before I have to meet the girls.' she thought to herself as she lay back on her bed and started to read; a little while later Sloane was fast asleep.
At 8:05 Sloane popped out of bed and groaned "Oh my god how could I have slept! Shit look at the time, I don't even know what to wear!" At that thought she ran out of her room and straight into Lindsay's without knocking. To say Lindsay was surprised would have been an understatement; she was dressed in a denim skirt and was contemplating her wardrobe for a shirt when Sloane barged in and hurriedly said, "Need help. Have to be ready in 10 minutes. No time to be embarrassed. Sorry!" as she grabbed Lindsay's arm and dragged her to the other room. She then pushed Lindsay towards her closet and asked, "Pick out an outfit please? We are going to a bar, if that helps any. I have to do my makeup, thanks, love you!" and she rushed out to the bathroom leaving a bewildered half naked Lindsay to choose an ensemble for Sloane's date.
'Wow,' Lindsay thought 'Sloane is definitely acting crazy over this Nic girl, it's so cute. Now what to pick in order to get this girls attention and keep it? Hmmm, how about this...'
Fifteen minutes later Sloane was walking out the door and thanking her roommate profusely. She decided to walk over to the girls' apartment since it was pretty close and after a five-minute walk she found herself at their door. She tapped the door and waited a few seconds. Sloane didn't hear anything from inside and wondered if the girls were even there 'I'm only a few minutes early, they should be here getting ready, or waiting for me, maybe I should knock harder.' She raised her hand to knock the door, when she heard the doorknob jiggle, so Sloane stepped back slightly.
Alexa opened the door and smiled broadly at Sloane. "Hey Sloane, looking good. The girls are running a little behind, but then again they always do."
"Haha, I wouldn't know since I just met them, so I will take your word on that. And thanks you look really hot as well!" Sloane answered as she eyed Alex and walked into the apartment. Alexa really did look good, she was wearing a tan leather miniskirt, calf high tan boots, a sheer white blouse and a white tank; the whole effect was rather attractive.
"Hey now you better not be trying to make a play for my woman Sloane! Because if you are I might want to see that." Gen joked as she came from the back of the apartment. Gen also looked quite striking; she was wearing dark flare jeans, black sandal heels, a simple white polo, and a matching dark denim jacket. "Nic will be right out, she was having problems with her hair, something about it not flipping right...I don't know, that's why I always let Alexa do me. Umm...I mean yeah, that's exactly what I meant."
Sloane laughed along with Gen as Alexa gave her girlfriend a half serious look and haughtily said "That's just great, well I am gonna go help Nicola finish getting ready so you better behave Genevieve Marie Rousseau and take care of Sloane, or else I will never do you again."
"Oooh she used your whole name, you are soo in trouble!" Sloane taunted, "But don't worry I am not into taking other peoples significant others, I had a bad experience once and I don't think I want to repeat it anytime soon."
"Really? Do tell, but before you do, can I get you anything to drink?" Gen politely asked.
"No, thanks I am fine for now, plus I am saving room for the alcohol later. Yeah so anyways, have you noticed how my nose is slightly crooked? That's what I get for going out with someone who claimed she dumped her boyfriend."
"Oh man, a guy did that to you? Now I need details!" Gen enthused, "But only if you want to give them, if not that's totally cool, I will just make something up in my head that will be much more sordid."
"Geez then I guess I better tell you then. So I met this girl at a coffee shop and blah, blah we totally hit it off. So I ask her out and we go on a couple of dates, but meanwhile she is still with her boyfriend, which I didn't realize. Well one time we went on a double date, with my guy friend and his girlfriend, to the movies and who did we see but my date's boyfriend. Anyways my friend's girlfriend, Ashley, and I had just come out of the bathroom when I see this big football jock pushing my friend John and yelling at him. Jenny, the girl I was dating, told her boyfriend to leave John alone, and that's when I ran over right into his fist. He meant to punch John but I kinda got in the way. Anyways, he was really sorry and goes on about how he wanted to punch John for going out with his girl, when I just looked up with my bloody nose and said 'You asshole, she isn't here with him, she's here with me!' He just got this weird look on his face, that's when Jenny broke up with him for me. We broke up like a year later, and we're still good friends, but she is dating someone else now. But yeah from then on I like to make sure that the people I date are unattached."
"Wow, cool story, but I can't really see the crookedness of your nose." Gen said as she leaned closer.
It was that way that Alexa and Nic found them a few seconds later, but from the angle they were at it looked like the two girls were doing something completely different than just looking at the shape of Sloane's nose.
"Umm, hello are we interrupting something?" Alexa inquired
Chapter 7
"Oh hey baby, no no I was just looking at Sloane's nose, she says its crooked but I can't tell, so I was trying to get a closer look." Gen responded as she let go of Sloane's face.
Sloane could finally turn around and when she did she was confronted with Nic who looked absolutely stunning. Sloane knew she was gawking but it couldn't be helped. Sloane's eyes traveled over Nic, her hair was flipped out and looked extremely cute, and her makeup accentuated her smoky blue eyes, and pouty lips. She was dressed in a black asymmetrical off one shoulder top that showed off some of Nic's tan, tight belly, a just below the knees denim skirt with a pretty high slit in the middle, tall black sandals that showed off her tone calves, and a little silver anklet.
"Wow, uh hey Nic, you look great!" Sloane complimented, she felt a little gauche in comparison, but felt much better when Nic said, "I love your outfit too; you look amazing."
Sloane looked down at her khaki cargo capris, her red string tank with a denim jacket and matching red platforms smiled and said, "I know, what can I do, it's a curse."
"Well then ladies, now that the mutual admiration club is all together, shall we get going? The sooner we go, the sooner we can drink!" Gen added in, "So lets go!"
They decided to walk to the bar since it wasn't that far away, so naturally Gen and Alexa were walking hand and hand in front of Nic and Sloane. They started talking and ten minutes later they had arrived at the bar. Channel Fusion, was smaller than the other bars around, but it had a dance floor and plenty of seating, after all it was only 9, people wouldn't come to drink until 10:30 or 11. The girls snagged a table and looked at the menu, and ordered their food, and a couple of drinks to get the night started. When the drinks came Gen said, "A toast to my beautiful girlfriend, may she always be able to put up with my crap!"
"Here, here!" Nic, Sloane and Alexa said while chuckling and clinking the glasses together.
Sloane then said "To new friends, and long lasting relationships that don't involve punches to the face!" Gen cracked up but Nic and Alexa were still in the dark so Sloane had to tell the story again. The girls laughed really hard, and by the time that was over, the food had arrived.
The girls started eating their food; Sloane had ordered an oriental chicken salad, Nic was eating potato soup, and Gen and Alexa were sharing the chicken primavera pasta.
"Wow the food here is really good, you should try this salad guys." Sloane said after finishing a bite. Gen and Alexa quickly did while Nic just declined. "Oh come on now," Sloane said as she forked up some salad "just try it for me!" And she quickly put the fork to Nic's mouth. Nic took it in and ate the salad.
Gen and Alexa just looked at each other and you could tell they were both thinking 'Oh how cute. Nic is so gone on Sloane, she is whipped!' Actually the last part was thought only by Gen, but that's because she likes to goof on her sister.
"Yeah you're right, it's really good." Nic said after she swallowed.
The rest of the meal continued on in much the same way, with a lot of talking, joking, eating, and sharing food. By the time they finished it was about 10:45 and the bar had started to fill with people, and the music that had been playing softly in the background had turned to a rocking beat. Gen grabbed everyone another round of drinks, and they did another goofy toast. Sloane decided to pay for the next round so she bought everyone Absolut Royal Fuck's (on Nic's advice) that were somewhat girly, but definitely potent. After this drink Sloane was definitely feeling a little bolder in concern with Nic; she was definitely flirting with her.
All of a sudden one of Sloane's favorite songs, Kelly Clarkson's Miss Independent started to play "Oh my god, I love this song, Nic come dance with me!" She exclaimed and grabbed Nic's hand and led her over to the dance floor.
The floor was pretty crowded so they had to dance extra close, which was fine by both of them. Sloane was a wonderful dancer as Nic soon found out 'Damn' she thought 'Sloane is so hot, I don't know if I can keep up.' But Nic had no problems since Sloane had grabbed her arms and pulled them around her own body, so Sloane was in front with Nic pressed against her back. Sloane was gyrating back into Nic and kept her arms around Nic's shoulders and behind her neck. She and Sloane stayed that way on the dance floor for another few songs, and then decided to take a break, because they were both getting pretty hot.
They headed back to the table and found Alexa and Gen making out, the girls sat down and the ones kissing broke up and Alexa said "Wow you guys were tearing up the dance floor out there, that was really hot. Well I am gonna go to the Powder room to freshen up. Sloane you wanna come with me?"
"Sure, lets go. Hey will you guys get me something cold, for some reason I am really hot, bothered and thirsty." Sloane said with a smoldering look at Nic
"Sure hun we'll get some drinks." Nic replied, after gulping, and with that said the other two girls left.
Chapter 8 At the table Gen sat expectantly waiting for Nic to talk; instead Nic just asked a waitress for four beers, and sat there tapping her fingers slightly to the beat. "Ok, fine, I'll talk. Nic I know you really like Sloane, but I know you and I know that this is beyond like right now. I realize you just met her but I think you are falling for her. And I know from your past experiences that this is really scary for you, so am I right?"
"God Gen, I don't know what's wrong with me. She is a really great person; she is funny, sweet, intelligent, and attractive. She always makes me feel comfortable, and we never run out of things to say, but how can I "be in love" with someone so fast?! This is going too fast for me you know? Plus, I don't even know if it's real! How and when did you know with Alexa?"
"It was instantaneous, well pretty much. I just had the feeling that we were meant to be, and four years later we are still together, and I don't know how I ever lived without her before. She just ...I don't know its gonna sound corny, but she completes me in a way that you or anyone else never could."
"I have never felt this way before, I don't know how to act in this situation. I mean I want to have a meaningful relationship with her, but I don't know if I am capable of one. You know my past history; love 'em and leave him, that's my motto. I don't even want to have sex with her, well obviously I didn't mean it like that, I do, but I think I can actually wait for her until she is comfortable. I don't want another relationship built on sex." Nic sighed.
"Wow Nicola Renee Rousseau, I think this is it for you baby sister. And don't worry about Sloane not feeling comfortable, she was plenty cozy with you on the dance floor. Man if only all your old girlfriends could see you now!"
Meanwhile in the bathroom...
"So Sloane, I just have to ask you something...Nic is like my sister and I just want to know how you feel about her." Alexa said as she primped in front of the mirror, she really hadn't needed to go the bathroom, she just thought she should find out more about Sloane, after all they had only known the girl for three days.
Sloane gave a dreamy smile and said, "She is really breathtaking. I must admit though, when I saw Gen I thought she was hot, and she still is, but there is just something about Nic that sets her apart, and no I don't think it's the fact that Nic is unattached right now. It's something else, Nic is completely different from her sister and I think I could tell them apart if I met both of them. Nic is just so special, umm not that I think Gen isn't, I mean she's with you and you're special, so you guys are like special together and..." Sloane babbled on slightly embarrassed.
"Sloane it's okay, a simple I like Nic a lot would have been sufficient. Just how much have you had to drink anyways? You sound a little more tipsy than I would think."
"Well the thing about that is, I don't usually drink, well ever, so I have a really low tolerance, and I don't usually go out and get wasted, but I like you guys so I thought I could handle it, but I think I'm gonna be sick!" Sloane finished as she ran into an empty stall. Sick noises could be heard from the stall she was in and Alexa tried to follow Sloane to help her out, but she encountered a locked door.
"Sloane, honey? Why don't you open the door so I can help you?" More sick noises were heard.
"Oh god! I cant believe I did this. I am so embarrassed, just leave me alone to wallow in my stupidity." Sloane moaned and retched into the toilet again.
Alexa quickly left and went back to the table to get some water and Nic, maybe she could get Sloane to open the door. Gen was the first to notice Alexa and said, "Hey baby, where's Sloane?
"She isn't feeling well, I'm gonna get some water. Nic why don't you go help her?" But Nic hadn't heard, because she had already rushed to the bathroom.
Surprisingly when she walked into the bathroom there was no one in there, besides Sloane, who could be heard crying quietly. Nic grabbed some paper towels and ran some water over them, and tapped on the stall door. "Sloane? It's me, Nic. Let me in baby." no response "Sloane, I am warning you, if you don't open that door I am gonna have to either break down that door or crawl under it, and I assure you that if I have to do that you are going to get my dry cleaning bill."
"Go away!" Sloane sniffled, "I don't want you to see me like this!"
"Sloane what are you talking about? Please just let me in." Nic pleaded exasperatedly. She heard the click of the lock and entered the cubicle. The sight of Sloane huddled on the floor greeted her, as Nic squatted down beside Sloane "Sloane, why are you crying? Are you still feeling sick? Hold on Alex went to get some water. Hey come on look at me so I can help you." As Nic said this she tilted Sloane's face towards her and noticed tears streaming down her face. "Hey what's up hun?"
"I feel really dumb, I mean I wanted to go out with you guys and have fun, but all I did was make an ass out of myself and ruin everything. And I know I must look hideous right now!" Sloane sniffled.
Nic just smiled and wiped Sloane's face gently with the dampened towels and said, "I think you look great, and who said you ruined the evening?? I'm having fun, and I am sure Gen and Alex are as well. But you know, you didn't have to drink so much; we wouldn't have thought anything of it if you didn't want anything. Next time I think we will do something a little mellower, maybe a movie, this Friday? I promise no one will break your nose." Sloane smiled at that comment, and nodded shyly. "Well good then, now lets get you cleaned up some and we can get out of here."
Alexa came in with Gen a few seconds later and handed over the bottle of water. Sloane quickly rinsed her mouth a few times, and then drank the rest of the water. She washed her face, and checked her hair, luckily she had managed to hurl into the toilet and not on herself. She popped a piece of gum into her mouth and wobbly made her way out the bathroom door where the rest of the girls were waiting.
As she exited the door Sloane nearly fell, apparently she still had some alcohol in her system, but luckily Nic caught her. "Ready to go?" Nic asked while looking into Sloane's eyes.
"Umm yeah." Sloane replied as she felt her legs get wobbly again for another different reason "Lets go."
Chapter 9
The walk back was a little longer since Sloane had to be helped along by Nic, but no one was complaining. Gen and Alex were talking, giggling, and occasionally kissing up ahead, while Nic had her arm around Sloane's waist. After a 20-minute walk they finally reached the apartment. As they entered the house Sloane quietly observed, "This isn't my place."
The other three girls started laughing at the obviously still tipsy girl's comment and Gen teased, "You know what you're right, this isn't your place, it's ours. Sorry Sloane honey you are just gonna have to spend the night here, cuz none of us are sober enough to drive you and I think we are all pretty tired. Besides unlike you, Alex and I have class at 10:30 tomorrow and don't get done till 4."
"Don't worry Sloane I will take you home before your class tomorrow, I don't have class on Thursdays." Nic reassured Sloane "But now I think we should all get some sleep."
"Good call Nicola, come on Gen lets get to bed. Goodnight girls." Alexa said
"Yeah goodnight." Gen repeated with a waggle of her eyebrows aimed towards Nic and Sloane.
The two girls chuckled at Gen's innuendo as Sloane said goodnight to the retreating girls, she then turned to Nic and asked, "Umm hey could I borrow something to sleep in and maybe a toothbrush?"
"Sure Sloane, follow me and you can pick out whatever you want to wear." Nic said as she led Sloane into her somewhat clean room "Here is where I keep all my sleep stuff, feel free to pick out anything," Nic continued as she opened a drawer, "I'm just gonna grab you a toothbrush, be right back."
Sloane smiled and thanked Nic; as Nic left the room Sloane turned to the drawer and picked out some boxers and a shirt that had the 7 UP spot on it. Sloane quickly shed her denim jacket and red tank and slipped the shirt on, she had finally taken off her shoes and had just slipped her pants down her legs and over her feet when Nic walked in "Hey I found a toothbrush...oh!" Nic blushed, averted her eyes, and stammered an apology "Sorry I didn't realize you were changing."
Luckily for Sloane, and unluckily for Nic the Spot shirt reached the middle of Sloane's shapely thighs. Sloane quickly put the shorts on and said, "No problem, you can turn around now I'm decent." Nic still blushing, since she had gotten an eyeful, turned and gave Sloane the toothbrush.
'God I'm acting like such a child' Nic thought to herself. Sloane grabbed the brush, and headed to the bathroom and left Nic in privacy to change. 'I need to settle down, I mean I didn't even really see anything and I'm redder than a tomato!' Nic contemplated as she changed into a pair of plaid boxers and a white wifebeater. She quickly brushed her hair and headed to the bathroom, which she found empty, brushed her teeth, scrubbed her face, and removed her contacts.
She strolled into the TV room putting on her glasses, and found Sloane watching a SNL rerun and decided to join her; after all she didn't have school tomorrow and she didn't feel like going to her room and listening to Gen and Alexa making love. As Nic sat down Sloane moved closer to her until she was leaning slightly on Nic's shoulder and in order to be comfortable Nic had to put her arm around Sloane.
They sat there for a good hour with Nic laughing every so often at the antics of the cast and the host, Britney Spears, but nothing was heard from Sloane. At the end of the program, Nic shut the TV off with the remote, and was about to move when she heard a slightly heavy breathing; Sloane was asleep on her. Nic smiled and watched the sleeping girl for a few moments, then grabbed a blanket from the back of the couch and draped it over their bodies. Soon Nic fell asleep, while cuddling Sloane's slumbering form.
Sometime during the night Sloane and Nic managed to slide into a more comfortable position, where Sloane was on top, with her head pillowed on Nic's upper chest and nestled into her neck, but neither had woken up since Nic was naturally a heavy sleeper, and Sloane was just passed out, but she was having an amazingly erotic dream. Sloane sighed and clung a little closer to Nic.
**Sloane and Nic were lying down on a couch, with Nic on the bottom. Sloane slowly moved her face closer to Nic's, her lips ghosting gently over the blonde's full mouth. Nic whimpered, and pulled Sloane into a deep kiss. Their tongues danced sensuously, and caressed each other. They pulled away from the kiss when the need for air was far greater than the need for one another. Sloane quickly dove back to Nic's mouth and lightly nipped at her bottom lip, which drew a groan from Nic, she spent only a second on her lips, and then moved slowly down her jaw line lightly kissing towards her smooth creamy neck.
She inhaled Nic's scent while nuzzling her face into the soft skin she found there, she let her tongue flick out and savored Nic's unique taste; slightly salty with a hint of peaches 'Mmmm must be her soap or lotion'. Sloane moved to the pulse point at the base of Nic's throat, scraped her teeth gently over it, then clamped her lips over the throbbing area, resulting in a hicky. Meanwhile her hands were running unabashedly over Nic's firm torso, and managed to get under the hem of Nic's shirt in order to feel the velvety skin. Sloane's hands traveled up her tight abs towards Nic's breasts. Sloane stopped just beneath them, and teased Nic by just gently caressing the undersides.
Thus far Nic had been moaning and grasping Sloane by the shoulders, but at the gentle, teasing, unfulfilling strokes, she pulled Sloane's head back to hers and crushed their lips together. All the passion she felt poured into the kiss, Sloane capitulated and finally groped Nic's breasts properly, and lightly feathered her thumbs over the nipples. Nic gasped and arched further into Sloane's grasp...**
Back on the real couch Sloane had long ago nuzzled her face into Nic's neck and was sleepily running her tongue along it's length, not passionately enough to wake the blonde, but just enough to arouse her slightly. Sloane's hands really had ventured under the older girl's shirt and were busy caressing her velvety waist, not to mention the fact that, of its own accord, her thigh had insinuated itself between Nic's legs and was gently rocking against her heated middle. Nic was an extremely heavy sleeper, but she sill made sounds of enjoyment, which roused Sloane from her pleasant dream into a slightly less enjoyable reality.
It took Sloane a few seconds to properly orient herself and discern as to what she had been doing subconsciously, but once she had, she stopped immediately. Nic pouted slightly in her sleep at the stop of such wonderful caresses; her hips continued to move slightly, but then stopped. Sloane tried to extricate herself from the warmth of Nic's arms, but they tightened around her making escape impossible. Sloane groaned at the exquisite torture, and decided she should stay up for the rest of the night, to prevent the embarrassing situation from occurring again, but her body was having none of that and she soon drifted off to sleep again.
