“No, it was perfect.”

“Perfect will be when we can do it together, in the same bed.”

“I can’t wait.”

???

Was the sun brighter? The air clearer? The birds were definitely singing louder, right? Faith was floating on an orgasm-shaped cloud as she descended the stairs to join Carmen and the gang in the kitchen for breakfast.

“Morning all,” she singsonged, earning confused looks from Carmen, Mateo and Enid. Molly offered her a sweet smile.

“Sleep well?” Molly asked.

“Like a log. Where did you sleep, Enid?”

“On the porch with Bessie. Got a little sozzled and couldn’t crawl into the house. Was a great night. I can’t remember the last time I saw so many stars. Plus, I was high enough to see other stuff too, so that was cool.”

Faith stood for a second and let that conversation sink in. “Well… um, that’s awesome.”

“Hey, are you coming to the high school with us today?” Micah asked, their mouth full of bacon.

“Micah, seriously, keep your trap shut when you’re eating.” Courtney grimaced.

“What’s going on at the high school?” Faith asked, helping herself to a glass of OJ.

“Molly’s doing a talk,” Lisa answered.

“Oh cool, yeah. I’d love to go along if that’s okay?” Faith directed her question at Molly, who beamed back.

“Absolutely. You’re all welcome to tag along.”

“Carmen?” Bessie chirped, “Are you up for it?”

“Oh, um… yeah, sure.”

Faith narrowed her eyes. Something was off with Carmen. They may not have known each other for long, but Faith was pretty attuned to Carmen’s body language. Why were Carmen’s eyes flicking from the table to Molly? Hm, Interesting. Faith regarded Molly, who was hellbent on avoiding looking at Carmen.

Now, Faith was a sexual novice of the lowest order, but even she could recognize sexual tension and if she wasn’t mistaken, that tension was bouncing all around Molly and Carmen.

“I’m going to stay here and prepare for this evening,” Mateo announced, pulling Faith back to the room.

“What’s happening tonight?” Faith had clearly missed everything while she’d been upstairs… Faith shook her head, willing her cheeks to remain pale. Sitting at the kitchen table with a bunch of people was not the time to be reminiscing over her first foray into masturbation.

“Makeovers for everyone,” he squealed. Carmen rolled her eyes. Courtney, Lisa and Micah cheered. Liam looked horrified. Molly laughed along with Bessie and Enid.

“Awesome,” Faith cheered.

“Can you be ready in half an hour?” Molly asked.

“Sure, no worries.”

Cramming breakfast down her throat, Faith ran upstairs, showered, and dressed. Her fingers itched to message Nathalie, but now she knew where those messages could lead, she restrained herself, vowing to call her girlfriend as soon as they got back from the high school.

Sitting in the passenger seat of Carmen’s car, Faith smiled as they traveled. It really was a wonderful day. “You look happy, kid,” Carmen remarked, her eyes flitting from the road to Faith.

“I am.”

“So, meeting Molly is everything you hoped it would be?”
