CHAPTER 7: BUSTED

She knocked incessantly on what was the flimsy wooden front door, barely on its hinges. With a huff, the short brunette gave up and leant back against the wall. She was irritated to say the least. She hadn't heard from Marissa all morning and she didn't even get a chance to say good bye to her at the club the night before. She saw her leave with the hot blonde so she knew she was okay. And that's why she was mad, her first experience with a woman and her best friend was no where to be found! Oh she was definitely going to give Marissa a piece of her mind, maybe even go rage black out on her for keeping her in the dark on the details.

She had a perma-smile on her face, it just wouldn't leave. With a sigh, she pulled open the all glass door with bars behind it open and made her way up the creaky steps that felt and sounded, like they were about to collapse with each step, no matter how light you made them. The bugs that normally made the brunette grumble didn't bother her. Nothing could change her mood after the night she had. A night mind-blowing, passion-filled, vocal-chord-wrecking sex. She shuddered as images from the night before filled her mind. The way Alex would moan at a certain touch echoed in her memory, almost as if it were happening right then. Without her noticing, Marissa's breathing escalated, not from climbing the steps that she was used to climbing by now, but from the thoughts about the night before. Alex knew exactly what to do to her. Maybe it wasn't just Alex, maybe it was just that sex with a girl was always going to be better with women than it was with men. Then again, she would rather sleep with a woman before a man any day, even when she was dating her ex.

With another sigh, she finally reached the top step. She was in a cloud as she walked down stale-smoke scented hallway towards her apartment. She twirled her keys in one hand and swung her purse back and forth with the other.

The short brunette looked to her right as she heard foot steps and stood up straight when she saw the taller woman. "Finally!" She shrieked.

Marissa jumped at the shrill voice and blushed when she saw her best friend of years standing just feet in front of her.

Summer huffed and crossed her arms over her chest, "you don't answer your phone and you aren't home until ten a.m.? You're supposed to give me details, not take your time getting home!"

Marissa bit her lip as she avoided eye contact. She looked intently at the door lock she worked on unlocking and gratefully opened the door when it gave way under her pressure. She couldn't even grumble that she was in the shit-hole apartment. At least it was only temporary until her new apartment was ready.

Summer followed her in and tossed her purse on the table that Marissa kept by the door. Not even giving her friend a few minutes to take in the essence of being him, she followed her into the bedroom. "Well spill! You aren't home, like I said, until ten in the morning. I want details, Coop!"

Marissa fell on her bed with her smile still plastered on her face, even her best friend demanding all the nitty gritty details about her amazing time with the blonde couldn't annoy her. She looked at Summer and patted the spot on the other side of her.

Summer's face lit up and she jumped onto the bed. She sat with her legs crossed and waited for Marissa to start her story.

Her eyes fluttered open and she laid on her stomach for a few moments as she fully awoke. After a few minutes, she turned onto her back and didn't even realize the smile that had been on her face since the tall brunette had left earlier that morning. She stretched her lean body and crossed her arms behind her head. The events of last night played in her mind and she bit her lip as she closed her eyes and relived them. She felt her arousal quickly appear as the sounds of Marissa from the night before were so vivid. Oh and just how the brunette seemed to know exactly what do despite being a virgin when it came to having sex with a girl. The memories started becoming too much and soon her right hand traveled below the sheet that covered her body, into her sweat pants and between her legs.

A knock on her door made her groan and pull her hand from under the sheet. "What?" She asked irritably. Irritable wasn't even the word to describe how she was feeling. More like horny and she couldn't have what she wanted. Well, what she really wanted was already at home and the chance of her seeing her again any time soon, well that was probably not going to happen. They'd come to an understanding, it was purely a fuck night, nothing special whatsoever. Marissa didn't want a relationship and the fact that she had no success in relationships either pretty much solidified that their night together was nothing but sheer sex.

Her door opened and Chastity appeared. "You know, for getting laid last night, and what sounded like a pretty damn good lay, you're bitchy today." She sat down on the bed and flipped her long brown hair over her shoulder. She had that sly grin on her face and her green eyes taunted the blonde in the bed.

Alex glared, "fuck you."

Chastity grinned even more, "how about I call Marissa to do that for you? I'm sure you'd rather have her than me."

Alex rolled her eyes and sat up in the bed. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and stretched one more time before getting up.

Chastity laid back on the bed and watched as Alex went around her room, "so, how was last night anyway? Why did she stay?"

Alex shrugged again as she pulled on a pair of jeans that laid strewn on the floor. "We just fell asleep, we both had a lot to drink."

Chastity laughed and sat up on the bed as she watched Alex search for a shirt, "Alex, you were still walking. Some night you can hardly walk, let alone sit. When you bring a girl home, you fuck her, sleep a couple hours and she's gone before any of us even get up."

Alex groaned and yanked the band tshirt on then grabbed her All-Stars. "We had sex for quite awhile last night, Chas. Who says we didn't just sleep a couple hours and when we woke up that's when she left?"

"Alex…I know you. Probably better than anyone knows you, aside from Jodie, she just knows you in ways I don't and don't want to know. Anyway, I know you. And Anna and I came home last night while you two were goin at it. I know you guys slept for a couple hours and went at it again. Then fell back asleep. So, why'd she really stay?"

Busted.
