Chapter 2.
Jenny's Bedroom.
Jenny sat on her bed and watched as Alex walked around the room again and again and again, stopping constantly to look at the full length mirror, which only caused her to feel more self conscious about her breasts being in full view all the time, until she finally gave up and sat down in the computer chair across and lower her head. Jenny got to her feet and walked over to her, "Let's just take a break for a bit and I'm going to get rid of the mirror because you won't stop looking at it."
"It's kind of hard not to, it's always there when I walk by and then I see them staring back at me and I can't imagine walking into a room full of people like this." Alex looked back at the cleavage in the mirror and instantly covered her breasts again, "I don't want them staring at my breasts the whole time."
"You have to get over this. Really, let's just talk for a bit, let's get your mind off of them for a minute." Jenny said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me something about yourself that I don't know yet."
"There's not much to tell." Alex shrugged, "I used to think I was kind of a bad girl, but I look at this dress and go, this is what a bad girl wears."
Jenny laughed, "Okay, the idea is to stop focusing on the dress for a minute. Why don't you take it off for now. My plan isn't really working the way I'd hoped."
"No, I can do this. You said you would show me your dress, maybe that would help get my mind off things."
"That's a good idea." Jenny said as she walked over to her extra large closet and picked the lovely blue dress from the first rack of clothes and walked back over to her bed. She quickly began to remove her clothes, but unlike Alex she removed every last piece of clothing, which caused Alex's eyes to grow a few sizes.
Alex got up from her chair and looked away from Jenny, "You sure aren't very shy."
"I got over that long ago. You will to, it just takes time." Jenny said. She slipped on the dress and then looked back at Alex, "Could you zip me up?"
"Sure." Alex said with a smile. She walked over to Jenny, leaned down, grabbed the zipper and slowly slid it all the way up to her neck, "There ya go."
Jenny spun around and gave Alex her first look at her dress, "Well, what do you think?"
Alex felt a sense of relief as she saw how short Jenny's dress was, "That is some dress. It's like glued on and you better not bend over for anything or everyone is going to have quite a view."
Jenny looked at her extremely short red dress in the mirror, shaking her head in disgust, "It was supposed to a couple inches longer, but the stupid store got the measurements wrong, but I don't have to time to get it fixed, so as you can see my dress is just as daring as yours, more so really, because it's still low cut to. Not that my mom or step dad will ever see it."
"How are you going to manage that?"
"I will wear some boring dress when I leave and I'll have this waiting for me downstairs and I'll change in the limo." Jenny replied proudly.
"Wouldn't that be uncomfortable?" Alex wondered.
"Not after first few times." Jenny laughed, "Do you think you can wear that to the party?"
Alex sighed, but then smiled back at Jenny, "If you're wearing that I don't think anyone will notice me, so I guess I can pull it off for one night."
"That's what I wanted to hear." Jenny said as she walked over and gate Alex a hug.
When Jenny pulled away, Alex felt a sense of disappointment come over her, "I guess I should get back home. Can I leave this dress with you? There's no way I can explain this to my parents right now."
"That's fine." Jenny nodded, "I'll have both our dresses waiting for us downstairs on Saturday night. I will call you on Friday just to confirm that's it's a go and then if all is well I'll call you Saturday and tell you when I'll pick you up."
Alex smiled and walked into the bathroom where her clothes were, "I'll be out in a minute."
Jenny walked back over to her bed, fell back on it and couldn't resist watching as Alex slid out of her tight blue dress, but as Alex turned around and made eye contact with her, Jenny almost fell off her bed trying to look away.
After a few minutes Alex walked out holding the blue dress in her hand, "Here you go."
"Thanks." Jenny said as she took the dress and put it in her closet, "I'll have my driver take you home. I don't think you should be out alone now anyway, it's getting dark out there and it's really not the safest city in the world to be walking alone in."
"I can just call my brother." Alex said as she reached for her cell phone.
Once again Jenny grabbed Alex by the arm, "No, let me do this. I'll have my driver drop you off a block away from your house so they don't see the limo. It's not a big deal, so just say yes."
"Okay, the limo it is." Alex said with a smile.
"I'm going to give you my number in case you want to talk or something or if you need anything just let me know."
Alex took the piece of paper from Jenny and quickly jotted down her number and handed to her, "I'll be fine, but I look forward to hearing from you."
Jenny smiled and led Alex downstairs, stopping just in front of her limo, "I had a really fun time today. I can't wait until Saturday."
"I feel the same way." Alex said with a smile as she slid into the back of the limo. She waved to Jenny and smiled at her until the limo pulled away and then she leaned back and began to replay the whole day over and over again in her head.
Alex's bedroom.
Alex lay on her bed, still daydreaming about her afternoon with Jenny when her phone began to ring. She reached over and picked it up, "Hello."
"Hi Alex. You're finally home."
"Hi Harper, I'm sorry about today." Alex said, knowing she'd screwed up, "I should've been the one to come pick you up."
"It's okay." Harper said, never able to stay made at Alex for long, "So why you were gone so long? Did something happen?"
"Actually yes, but nothing bad. " Alex said, her smile growing as she instantly pictured Jenny in her head, "I don't know how to explain it really, but I had a very enjoyable day and I can't stop thinking about it."
"That's sounds good. What did you do?"
"I told you that I met that girl Jenny and we ended up going shopping at Bergdorf's and she bought me this amazing dress and invited me to a party on Saturday."
Harper sat up in her chair, "Wait a minute, you just met her, why would she be buying you things? She invites you to a party after knowing you for an hour? That's just strange."
"No it's not." Alex shot back, "She was having a bad day and she felt bad about running into me and she wanted to do something to make it up. She was very nice. I think you'd like her."
"I don't think I would." Harper replied quickly, "She sounds like your typical rich girl to me. Throwing around money like that."
"Harper, it's not like that." Alex smiled, enjoying Harper's reaction, "She just broke up with her girlfriend and this made her feel better."
Harper paused for a moment, wondering if she heard right, "Did you say girlfriend? You mean she had a fight with her best friend?"
Alex smiled, "No, I mean she likes girls and her girlfriend broke up with her."
"Oh, now I know why she was being nice to you."
"Don't be silly."
"I'm not, but it all makes sense now." Harper said, disliking Jenny more and more every second.
"You don't even know what happened today. Are you sure you aren't being just a tad jealous?" Alex asked as delicately as she could.
"Me?" Harper scoffed, "No, why would I be jealous of her? Should I be? What are you saying here Alex?"
Alex shook her head and smiled, "Slow down Harper, I'm not saying anything. You are my best friend and you always will be. Okay?"
Harper groaned at how she had sounded, "Okay, I'm sorry I got a little excited there. So, tell me about your day then."
"Well, it started out with us talking and then we went looked at some dresses and I tried on this very low cut blue dress and I wanted to take off right away, but Jenny said I looked good in it and once I got used it I think she was right."
"How low cut was it? You don't usually like dresses."
"I know, but this was such a grown up dress and it was very revealing and yet I felt very sexy in it, I just didn't like that my boobs were showing so much, but I guess that's how people dress now."
" You never show your boobs. You always said that dresses like that were slutty. What changed?"
"I guess I had to wear one for myself, but it's only for one party." Alex said, still convincing herself that it was okay, "I wouldn't wear it anywhere else and I sure wouldn't want anyone around here to see me in it. That I couldn't take."
"Just what kind of dress makes you afraid to wear it around here?" Harper questioned, more than a little curious as to how revealing this dress must be.
"You remember when we were looking at those red carpet photos of some awards show, well more than a few of the actresses had on dresses just like this."
"That's what you called slutty!" Harper said as she got to her feet, "You said you'd never be caught dead in something like that. I believe you used the phrase you have too much respect for yourself to do that."
Alex smiled at Harper quoting her word for word, "I guess I was a bit harsh and now I've changed my mind. Let's not make a big deal about this. It's just a dress. Cleavage is not against the law, except maybe to my dad, but that's why he can never see this."
"Oh Alex, this Jenny girl has already corrupted you."
Ignoring Harper's warnings, Alex continued on, "Anyway, something else kind of happened today and I really don't know what to think of it and by the way you are reacting right now I'm not sure I can talk to you about it."
"Of course you can." Harper explained, a little annoyed that Alex would suggest such a thing, "You know I can tone it down when I have to, but I'm just looking out for you."
"I know and I appreciate it, but this might be too much for you to handle right now."
"Why is that? Did something else happen with this girl?"
"No, but…it's just that…I think I might…I kind of like her." Alex stammered.
"So, I'm not that upset if you have another female friend. I may seem insecure at times, but I want you to meet new people have other friends, so it's not a problem."
"Okay, I don't think I'm making myself clear." Alex said with a cute grin, "I mean I like her as in how you like my brother."
"What did you say?" Harper said as she stopped in tracks, "No, that can't be true. You like boys. Don't you? You do. Don't you? Alex, talk to me."
"It's complicated, kind of." Alex said with a grin, "I mean, I don't know what this means really, but she's very pretty. Incredibly pretty and she's so sexy and she has the softest lips and these long, long legs and I can't stop thinking about her."
"OMG, I can't believe this. Have you been keeping this from me? Liking girls?" Harper questioned, as she began to pace around her room at a rapid pace, "Because I would not be very happy about that. We're best friends and I need to know these things first."
"Harper, you are the first and only person I will tell this to." Alex said, happy to reassure her best friend, "I still don't know if it means anything. I just can't stop thinking about her. She's just so pretty and…"
"You said that, more than once." Harper sighed, "I think we have a situation on our hands. Come to think of it you haven't had a boyfriend in a long time. You don't even seem interested in finding one."
"I just haven't had the time. I've been busy."
Harper laughed, "You're never busy. You spend your whole life trying to get out doing things. Have you had these thoughts about any other girls before today?"
"Sort of, but we both notice pretty girls. It's normal. Who doesn't. I never thought anything of it." Alex began to feel cornered and quickly did what she does best in that situation, she deflected, "You always tell me how pretty Keira Knightley is, you go on about her all the time."
"Yes, because I would love to look like her, but that's all it is."
"Come on, you must've had thoughts about her, you know, fantasy thoughts?" Alex said, hoping she could get Harper to admit something, "We talked about this before and you had the same thoughts as I did, so this isn't just me. It's not."
"Let me ask you this, when was the last time you met a guy and felt something about him?"
"That's not fair, there's no guys around." Alex said, not wanting to answer, "You know the guys in school are all immature. Why would any girl like them?"
"Well most do though, in spite of all their flaws, girls tend to like boys anyway."
" I like some boys." Alex said, doing her best to sound believable.
"Like who?"
When she couldn't think of anyone, Alex went back to what worked, "Well you like Kiera."
Harped smiled at Alex's avoidance skills, "So, when did you notice you felt something about Jenny?"
"I guess the moment our eyes met." Alex said as she remembered back to that very moment, "I know it sounds corny, but I swear something happened then. The way she looked at me was so sexy. She stopped though after a while, but then later in the day I noticed her looking at me like that again and I loved it. I just want to kiss her…I can't believe I just said that, but it's true. I wanted to more than just kiss her, I wanted to rip my dress off and have sex with her."
"You are so far gone Alex, but no more sex talk please. I'm not quite ready for that."
Alex laughed, "I didn't have sex with her and it's not wrong to think about it."
"Well she must be something if she has you this worked up in less than a day." Harper said, happy to see Alex so excited about something, "Even Keira took longer, I had to see the second Pirate movie before I really got into her, platonically of course."
"Of course." Alex said with a laugh, "What should I do about this? Should I cancel the party? I'm not sure I'm ready for anything else."
"You said she invited you as a friend right? Maybe that's all there is to it."
"Maybe, but I know that she feels something for me and I feel something for her and if we're together I'm afraid of what I'll do. It's not like I've had sex yet, so I wouldn't know what to do. I don't want to embarrass myself."
Harper groaned, "Would you stop talking about sex. Why do you think you'll be having sex? Don't you think you might want to get to know her a bit more?"
"There's just something about her and when we're together I feel this energy in the room and it's really hard to concentrate on anything but how beautiful she is and how much I want to just kiss her all over."
"Okay, if you make one more comment about kissing her I'm going to hang up."
Alex smiled, "Sorry, I don't even realize I'm doing it. Maybe this is just a phase. Maybe when I see her next I won't even feel anything and it all be gone."
"Yep, that's a possibility." Harper said with a big eye roll, "I hear pigs might fly soon to."
"Hey, I'm supposed to be the sarcastic one around here."
"I couldn't help it, you walked right into that one and besides, I learned from the master."
"I'm so glad to be talking to you." Alex said with a happy smile, "I wouldn't be able to get through this without you. Thank you for being here for me Harper."
"Well, that's what friends are for. Are you okay now?"
Alex let out a relieved sigh, "I feel a lot better now, but I think I'll know more tomorrow when I wake up. If I'm still thinking about Jenny then I think a lot of things are going to change around here."
"Whatever works for you is fine by me. I'm your friend no matter what."
"Thanks." Alex said with a smile, "Here's a hug. I'll call you tomorrow. Goodnight Harper."
"Goodnight Alex."
Alex rolled over on her back and instantly began thinking of Jenny and what it would be like to literally kiss her all over.
Jenny's bedroom.
Jenny lay on her bed, dangling her long legs over the end of it, smiling as she pictured Alex in that sexy blue dress. Her happy thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door, "Who is it?"
"It's Serena. I need to talk to you."
"Come in."
Serena walked in, closed the door behind her and marched up to Jenny, "Did you post the pics of Vanessa kissing Olivia on Gossip Girls site?"
"No, why would you think that?" Jenny asked, annoyed that Serena would think such a thing.
"You were pretty mad at her for breaking up with you and the pictures appeared within days of that and you had access to them."
"Well I didn't do it. I don't even care about Vanessa anymore." Jenny said honestly, her smile quickly returning as she thought about Alex, "I've met someone else."
"Do you know who did it?" Serena asked, still not convinced, "The pictures are causing Olivia a lot of problems. Her publicist is going insane, because she's still supposed to be dating some movie star and your brother really didn't need to see them."
"Why? He had sex with them, I hardly think it's going upset him."
Serena shook her head at Jenny's attitude, "You know, he would never do something to intentionally hurt you, so if you know who did this then please let me know."
"I don't know. Honest."
"Okay, I'm going to believe you, so who's this new girl you met?" Serena said, stopping her interrogation for the moment.
Jenny jumped at the chance to talk about Alex, "Oh, her name is Alex and she's not from here, but she's such a sweet girl and she's really pretty and she's funny and we really hit it off today. Everything felt so natural, like I'd known her for years. I never felt this way with Vanessa, I enjoyed our time together, but I never felt like this."
Serena smiled at Jenny's enthusiasm, "I can tell by your excitement that you must like her a lot. Where did you meet her?"
"I met her today at school, even though she doesn't go to my school."
Serena did a double take, "Today?"
"I know, it might seem sort of sudden, but I don't really know if she's into girls. That's kind of a big problem." Jenny said with a momentary look of concern covering her pretty face, "She never really said, but she was very open when I told her about Vanessa and when our eyes met I know she was feeling the same way about me. I can tell these things. I know when someone is looking at me, usually I don't want them to be, but with her I loved it. I really loved knowing she was watching me."
"Those are some pretty powerful feelings you have for her already." Serena said, more than a little surprised by the emotions Jenny had for a girl she'd just met, "I don't want to be a downer, but I do think you should find out if she has a boyfriend before you get to invested in her."
"No, she doesn't have a boyfriend, I asked." Jenny said excitedly.
"Well, she could be in between boyfriends. I just think she should find out." Serena said, smiling as much as she could so Jenny knew she wasn't being negative, "I would love it if things worked out for you two, but I'd hate to see you get your hopes up and then be disappointed."
Jenny fell back in a trance, "It's strange, but even if she doesn't want more with me, I'll never forget today. I was so miserable when I got out of school today and then I met her and I've been smiling ever since."
"That's good. You should be happy."
"Thanks."
Serena checked her watch and gave Jenny a hug, "I should get going, let me know how things go with her."
"I will." Jenny said with a smile and then quickly lay back down, closed her eyes and began to picture Alex one more time before she drifted off to sleep.
