A/N: Hey guys, sorry I haven't really kept up on this story lately! I was busy with summer and completely forgot about my stories until recently and I am deciding to write again since I'm not in a writer's block anymore and I know what I want to write, I might actually delete a story or two but I'm not sure yet! Oh on a side note I'm a senior in high school this year!
Friday came quickly, thankfully, and I had the slumber party planned for today. Nakoma and Mulan are getting a ride with Pocahontas after school to pick up their change of clothing and come over at five o' clock this evening. Esmeralda is picking Megara on her way over to my house at four thirty and coming over at five o' clock or so. Ariel will pick Belle up after she stops at home to pack her overnight bad so they'll be over by five o' clock. Tigerlily came over with me after school since she had her bag packed this morning and brought it over before school.
"I can't believe your mom lets you have the house to yourself for a whole weekend" Tigerlily said as we were setting up the living room so we could all sleep in the front room.
"I was given the house key at the age of ten and that basically gave me my independence, well more of it anyway", I said proudly, pausing to push the coffee table against the wall, "and her work causes her to travel once or twice a month, so she decides to travel during the weekend, leaving on Thursday and coming back Monday, it's no big".
"It's no big?! Come on Khrys, you're a seventeen year old and your left behind in a house with a dog, a cat, and eight other girls, and your mom doesn't mind?" Tigerlily asks with a tint of worry in her voice.
"Tigie, stop sounding like a grandmother, you're going to gray early on. To answer your question yes my mother doesn't mind that I have eight other girls over; she knows you're all my friends and that nothing bad will happen. Now if the house burnt down, that's a different story".
Tigerlily opens her mouth to respond but closes it, deciding not to argue with my statement. I smile in victory and pull the couch into a bed, Tigerlily helping me to put a bunch of blankets, a few pillows, and some cushions on the L shaped couch to make it more comfortable. I look up at the clock and notice it's four forty-five P.M, the girls should be coming over soon I think to myself as I go into the kitchen to check on the assortment of sodas me and Tigerlily had bought at Safeway after school, also buying chips, a bunch of candy, a few bags of popcorn, and some frozen pizzas for a snack. I also snuck a bottle of vodka and wine from mom's alcohol cabinet, in case the girls wanted a drink. This was a slumber party after all, a stay up till four in the morning hanging out, watching movies, talking about whatever, pillow fight, dance party slumber party.
Bianca started barking, announcing guests at the front door waiting for someone to open the door. I heard the door open, guessing Tigerlily had opened the door, so I left the sodas in the refrigerator to cool more to greet whoever was in the front room.
"I didn't expect Bianca to be this big!" Belle exclaimed, kneeling down to let Bianca sniff and lick her face, Belle's hands scratching behind her ears.
I smiled and chuckled, "she isn't Toto sized, ya know? She's a Shiloh Shepherd; she doesn't come in a small bundle".
Belle smiled up at me and stood up to hug me, I hugged her back and gave Ariel a hug, "you can put your bags in my room, your coats and shoes in the closet right here", I patted a wooden door near the entrance of the front door, "and your blankets and pillows on the couch, we'll sort through the pile of blankets and pillows later".
Ariel took her and Belle's bags upstairs while Belle took their coats and shoes; I smiled softly and shook my head lightly before taking their pillows and blankets and putting them on the couch. Bianca climbed up on the couch to make a nest of the pillows and blankets but I told her to get off and stay off. She would be sleeping in her kennel tonight so she would be away from the craziness of tonight's slumber party. After Ariel had come back downstairs, Bianca started barking again as the doorbell rang off, I opened the door this time to see Pocahontas, Nakoma, and Mulan in front of me.
"Hey girls, come in come in! The party hasn't started yet" I joked playfully, stepping aside to let all three of them in.
"Thanks! Where do we put our-" Pocahontas started, but was interrupted by Belle.
"Bags go up in Khrystal's room, coats and shoes go in the closet, and pillow and blankets go on the couch" Belle said, smiling as she remembered what I had told her and Ariel.
"Thank you Belle" me and Pocahontas said in unison, laughing after we did.
Pocahontas, Nakoma, and Mulan took their bags upstairs, Bianca following after Nakoma, while Belle grabbed their shoes and coats and opened the closet while I put their blankets and pillows on the couch.
"The pile is growing!" I exclaimed, looking at the mixed pile of blankets and pillows on the couch, poking it playfully as if it were a growing monster.
I walked into the kitchen as I heard Pocahontas, Nakoma, Mulan, and Tigerlily join Ariel on the floor in the front room to watch tv while I set the soda and chips up and put the frozen pizzas in the oven, leaving the chocolate candy in the freezer. Belle had come into the kitchen to help me set up the sodas, putting the sodas in four bowls of ice to keep the soda cool. I grabbed three more large bowls to empty the bags of chips into, leaving the dip inside the refrigerator till later.
"Belle?" I asked, clearing the oven of pans to preheat the oven for pizza.
"Oui?" Belle asked, looking over at me from the bottle of wine she had picked up.
"Do you…like…Ariel?" I asked curiously, unwrapping a vegetarian frozen pizza and putting it on a pizza pan to put in the oven.
"N-no…maybe, I- I don't know!" Belle stammered, looking at me in awe, "why? Do you think I do?!".
"Honey, you aren't straight, that's what my gaydar told me", I smirked, throwing the pizza wrapping in the garbage, "I mean if you do it's completely fine, I mean, I'm a lesbian for goodness sake".
Belle blushed a bright pink as I turned away from her to grab nine plastic cups for the slumber party, writing each girl's name on the cup. I drew a heart next to Esmeralda's name, a rose that twined around Belle's, a dragon circling around Mulan's, a leaf next to Pocahontas', a bear paw next to Nakoma's, a dolphin next to Ariel's, a feather next to Tigerlily's, a Greek pillar on each side of Megara's name, and a wolf next to mine. Bianca barked again as the doorbell rang again, I ignored it this time since I knew someone would open the door. "She's in the kitchen prepping the food for dinner" someone said, I think Pocahontas did, as I placed the nine cups on the island counter I heard footsteps behind me and warm soft hands placed over my eyes.
"Guess who?" a sweet voice asked in my ear, the body that belonged to the voice pressing against my back lightly.
"Hmmm…is it my gypsy lover?" I asked happily, smiling as the hands moved from my eyes to my shoulders, turning me around gently as a pair of soft lips pressed against mine.
I wrapped my arms around Esmeralda's waist as her arms snaked around my neck and pulled my hair out of its ponytail, her fingers running through my hair as we kissed. I pulled Esmeralda close, our chests lightly pressing against the others, my hands trailing along her sides slowly as I bit down on her bottom lip lightly.
"No lesbian sex in the kitchen, please!" Megara joked, standing in the threshold of the kitchen as Esmeralda pulled away in embarrassment, breathing somewhat heavily from the kiss.
"Oh you're no fun Meg!" I joked back and winked, kissing Esmeralda's cheek lightly as she giggled, her fingers still running through my hair slowly.
At Megara's comment, all the other girls had rushed to the kitchen to spot us, though we weren't in lip lock as we were a few moments ago. I smiled, releasing Esmeralda from my grip though I didn't want to.
"Sorry guys you missed the show by a few minutes" I joked, walking over to the oven and taking out the vegetarian pizza as the smell of it started filling the kitchen, letting me know it was done.
"One vegetarian pizza for Pocahontas" I placed the vegetarian pizza on the island next to the sodas, cutting the pizza into eight slices with the pizza cutter.
I took the taco salad pizza out from the refrigerator, unwrapped it, placed it on the pizza pan and put it in the oven to bake. Pocahontas took two slices from her pizza and put them on a plate, filling her cup with Coca-Cola.
"Which reminds me, you guys should check out the designs on your cups, just to see what you think. I did that so we don't get our cups mixed up" I said, filling my cup with Coca-Cola.
Pocahontas noticed the leaf next to her name and smiled softly, "I like mine". Nakoma noticed the bear paw next to her name and laughed, filling it with orange soda. Ariel noticed the dolphin as she poured blue Mountain Dew into her cup and smiled, "not too bad of a drawing on a plastic cup". Mulan filled her cup with fruit punch, noticing the dragon, "that looks so cool!". Tigerlily smiled at the feather on her cup and filled her cup with fruit punch too. Megara noticed the pillars on her cup and laughed, filling her cup with Sprite. Esmeralda picked up her cup and blushed lightly as she noticed the heart next to her name, placing a kiss on my cheek sweetly. I kissed her lips softly then filled my cup with blue Mountain Dew. "I also have vodka or wine in case anyone wants a drink later" I suggested, holding up a bottle of vodka.
"Where'd you get that?" Ariel gasped, looking at the bottle of vodka in my hand.
"My mom's alcohol cabinet which no one will know where it is but me" I said, placing the bottle down and pulling the taco pizza out, placing it next to the half-eaten vegetarian pizza. I go to the refrigerator and grab the last pizza, unwrapping it and placing it on the pizza pan, putting it in the oven.
"You drink?!" Belle exclaimed with false shock, getting a rewarded raised eyebrow from me.
"Occasionally…yes. It's no big you guys, it's not like I'm an alcoholic, my grandparents started letting me have a glass of wine with dinner at their house once in a while" I replied, shrugging lightly.
"What else have you not told us?" Mulan asked, sitting on a stool at the island counter.
"Hmm…well I'm an out of the closet lesbian, I know half of you aren't straight, and half of those four that aren't straight know it but are denying it, you already know Esme's bisexual" I smile at Esmeralda and hold her hand in mine as she smiles back at me, standing next to me.
