Ok, to everyone who read this- thank you. To everyone who reviewed this- you effing rock! And I'm very appreciative of your time and effort. In fact, If I could, I'd hug you all, in particular nola90, Erin Lycan , .alex (I must apologise profusely for the last chapter's thanks- I knoww I wrote .alex but it published as '.alex'...?) miralinda, hopelessxlove, DemonLover16 and CJ4Eva. But I won't, because I'm awkward enough as it is and we don't actually know each other... So I'll give you a chapter instead, something you'd much rather prefer, I'm sure =)
Chapter 4
It was ten o'clock the next morning and Marissa sat at her kitchen table drawing circles on the newspaper she was reading.
"Wow. Reading the newspaper? How very intellectual of you. I have to say I'm dissappointed, Coop. The new issue of Vogue is on sale today."
Without looking up, Marissa adjusted her Dior reading glasses and pulled out Vogue from underneath her paper and pushed it over to Summer who'd just walked through her door and sat down facing her.
"I'm so proud! I knew you wouldn't let me down!" Summer beamed at Marissa and flicked to the first page immersing herself in the fashion magazine."Hmmmm." She mused.
"OhmyGod." Summer quickly closed the magazine and looked expectantly at her best friend. "I can't believe I almost forgot, but you know how I get when I read the Bible." She looked fondly down at Vogue and stroked the cover affectionately. "Anyway, how did class go last night?"
Marissa looked up at Summer with something akin to a Chesire cat grin. "It was great, Sum...really...great ."
" 'Really great', huh?" Summer leaned over the table and pressed her hand to Marissa's forehead. "Well you don't seem to have a fever, maybe you should lie down, Coop. You don't sound well. "
"Hardy har har. Oh how you make me laugh." Marissa replied sarcastically.
"Pray tell, Miss Cooper, just why was a two and a half hour class so great ?" She gasped. "Wait just a second! I know that look! You met someone, didn't you?"
Marissa shrugged, still grinning."Maybe..." She moved off her seat and poured herself and Summer a glass of orange juice. She walked back to the table and set a glass in front of her friend. The short brunette looked at Marissa expectantly. Marissa simply turned around and walked down the hall to her room.
"Oh no, no, no. You're not getting off that easy! Get your butt back here!" Summer rushed after her friend and found her pulling out some clothes from her closet.
"Do you think I should wear this one...or this one?" Marissa asked as she held up each of the T-shirts to her body.
Summer stared at Marissa with wide eyes.
"What?" Marissa asked innocently.
"Cooooooooop!" Summer whined.
"Oh, hush. I'll tell you all about it when you take me out shopping. Now scoot, I need to get ready."
Alex was busy unpacking the boxes that were spread all around her new house when her cell phone started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Question; would you rather do Rosanne Barr or Rosie O'Donnel?"
"I wouldn't do either of those beasts you pervert." She replied, instantly recognising her old friend's voice.
"Come on, you have to choose one or you'll die."
"Jodie, I can honestly tell you that I would rather die than have sex with one of those women...and I use that term loosely."
"You ruin all my fun. Anyway, I was wondering if you wanted to meet up today and we can hang out. Catch up and all that."
"Sure I'd love to. Give me 20 minutes to get ready and I'll meet you at the pier."
"O.k. See you then.."
Around forty minutes later Marissa and Summer were sitting in the diner. Summer insisted on going there so that her best friend could tell her everything while having Summer's full attention; she tended to focus on one thing while she was shopping; finding the perfect outfit. And everyone knows that requires full concentration.
Marissa had told Summer every intricate detail about the three hours she spent with the blonde beauty.
"And she has these eyes, Sum, they are absolutely stunning. I've never met anyone so beautiful in every way before."
Summer smiled at her friend. She loved seeing her this upbeat and happy. God-knows she deserved all the happiness the world has to offer. She may have seemed to have everything, but Summer knew that for a long time, even before Julie Cooper effectively abandoned her, that her friend wasn't happy. She was fragile and broken. But now, here she was, giddily cooing about a girl she met less than twenty-four hours ago, and Summer loved it.
Summer smiled, "Wow, Coop, she sounds amazing. I take it you're looking forward to next week?"
"Are you kidding? I can't wait!"
Alex decided to go to the pier on her skateboard as it was only a little way away from her apartment. She sped through the crowds of people effortlessly cruising round them and looking for Jodie. She was forced to come to a halt behind a small group of people that had gathered and were seemingly watching something near the end of the pier. Alex couldn't see what was going on but she overheard a two women talking.
"...someone jumped in after her, she doesn't seem to be moving though. Oh that girl is giving her mouth to mouth...hang on, are they...oh my God they're kissing!"
Alex flipped her skateboard into her hand and under her arm and managed to squeeze through to the front of the crowd and spotted a very familiar Latina getting hot and heavy with a blond at the edge of the water.
"You have got to be shitting me." Alex said and began to move towards the two horizontal women on the sand.
By the time Alex had reached them, they had broken apart for air and were slowly standing up. Jodie spotted Alex and grinned at her, gesturing to the blond attached to her arm and winking.
Alex couldn't help but smile at Jodie's brazenness.
"Look what I caught, Al." She scooped the girl into her arms as though she was showing Alex a catch of the day. "I found a mermaid in distress."
"I see that Jode. Lucky you were there, eh? And I didn't know that you needed tongue whilst performing CPR." Alex laughed out.
"What sort of lesbian are you, Kelly?" Jodie asked with a horrified expression. "You should know that tongue is used in every situation." Jodie smiled devilishly at Alex, while the girl attached to Jodie nodded in agreement and used her arms that were wrapped round the Latina's neck to pull her into another searing kiss.
"I hate to break this apart...actually I don't...but you two have an audience."
"Well...um, I didn't catch your name, you know with saving your life and all that. I'm Jodie, as I'm sure you've gathered."
"I'm Kimberly. I don't know how to repay you, I mean you saved my life."
"Well Kimberly, let's go back to my place, I think we should get started with you paying me back, I have a few ideas on how you can get started."
Jodie had let Kimberly down and she was standing a few feet away, waiting for her.
"Eh-hem."
"Oh, right, Alex. Um, rain check? We can meet up tomorrow if I'm not tied up. And believe me when I say I mean that literally. Kimberly and I are going to have some fun that may result in rope burns. I'll call you later!"
As Alex watched the two walk away she slid her aviators onto her nose and muttered, "That girl is insatiable."
Oooh! Guess what the next chapter is? Go on, guess! Might the girls be meeting once again? You never know... Well, I've kinda just told you =P Review por favor! And grassy ass for those who do!
