Minako was the last to arrive back at Rei's house; all the other girls were
settled in the living room again.
"Where is your friend?" Usagi asked when Minako sat down beside her on the couch.
"She was really tired so she opted for staying in and going to bed early. Plus I think she didn't want to take away any attention from the soon to be blushing bride." Minako watched as Usagi blushed at the statement, as she knew she would. "So let's have it! We want to know everything!" The girls all gathered around Usagi and admired the ring again.
"Well I already told you most of what happened..." another blush began to creep it's way onto Usagi's face and the girls knew that she hadn't told them a very important part of the story.
"Oh! Usa! What aren't you telling us girl?" Makoto said nudging her in the side with her elbow. "Did you and Mamoru get it on or what?" Minako giggled at her friend's frankness, but she too was very interested in hearing the answer.
"Yeah, did the baka finally stop with the whole nobility thing and show ya how much he loves ya or what?" This came from Rei who was grinning at Usagi knowingly. That is the look of girl who recently got some, Minako thought. Even Ami looked somewhat apprehensive of the subject.
"Yeah common Usagi, little Ami wants to know how accurate her books are." Minako said. Ami blushed a deep red and shot a dirty look towards Minako.
"Well, sorry to burst your bubbles girls, but I still am, however unfortunate it may be, a part of the dwindling virgin race." Usagi said. The girls sighed.
"Why does that man insist on waiting? I mean he already proposed. And really he's only hurting himself." Rei said exasperated.
"You don't have to tell me that Rei, believe me. If I were lying on his bed naked, he would probably make some excuse to leave and run away. I mean when I was younger, I understand, but I'm totally legal now and Dad has warmed up to the idea of Mamoru with Mom's help. Grr! Stupid fiancée!" All the girls laughed. And they said only guys thought of sex every seven seconds!
Roxy and Akane made their way passed the huge line of people waiting to get into the popular dance club. The bouncer took one look at the two girls, winking at Akane, and opened the door for them. Their senses were immediately overwhelmed with the sound of loud music and the smell of alcohol. They made their way passed the dance floor, which was already starting to fill up with horny guys and dolls looking for a good time. They found two empty stools at the bar and sat down, waving over the bartender in the process. He was a very handsome man indeed, Roxy thought as he made his way over two the girls. He had short dirty blonde hair and his eyes were a deep sky blue. Roxy could tell he was well muscled from the tight black shirt he wore.
"U're right Akane, he is great eye candy." Roxy whispered to her friend as he came up to take their orders.
"What can I get you two beautiful ladies this evening?" He asked, his voice sounded low and seductive, as he too looked both girls up and down, paying particular attention to Roxy.
"Well that depends... are you on the menu?" Roxy asked quirking an eyebrow. He laughed at her remark and replied.
"We'll just have to see how the night goes. I'm Jed, co-owner of this wonderful establishment, and you are the notorious Roxanne Star no?" He asked.
"Bravo Jed, I see my rep precedes me. Well since, we've gottan ta know each other, why don't cha show me your skills..." she paused licking her lower lip, "at mixing a long island ice tea for me and a vodka tonic for my friend." Jed winked at her and left to make the drinks.
Akane smacked her playfully. "Gurl, how do you do it?"
"Years of practice dear friend, years and years of practice." Jed returned with their drinks, but could not talk as the place was beginning to fill up considerably. This is definitely going to prove to be a very eventful night, Roxy thought as she sipped on her drink.
Minako laughed as she watched Usagi take a bite out of a red hot pepper. Her eyes were watering like crazy and she was fanning her mouth in hopes it would make her tongue feel better.
"Rei I can't believe you made her take a bite of that pepper!" Ami said as she handed Usagi a glass of water.
"Hey she chose dare and if she didn't want to do it then she would have had to do the ultimate dare which we all know she would never do." Rei said in her defense. Some people would think that truth or dare was a bit childish, but not this group of girls. They enjoyed making each other do the most embarrassing or idiotic things possible. They had decided long ago that if one of them did not want to complete the assigned dare that they would have to do a penalty of having their deepest secret exposed to Umino, who would in turn make sure everyone knew about it within a week. Each girl had a different ultimate dare that tailored to her own extreme embarrassment factor. For Usagi it was anything involving Mamoru and sex and like Rei said, she would never do it.
"Well, it's my turn," Usagi exclaimed as she looked around the circle of friends for her victim. "Minako, you haven't gotten a truth or dare in awhile. Pick." Usagi said already trying to think as something evil to do to Minako. Minako did not want to be on the receiving end of Usagi's torment, and since she hadn't used her one truth allowed yet she decided now would be as good a time as any.
"I choose... Truth." Usagi's shoulders slumped and she pouted. Minako smiled brightly as she heard Usagi mutter "party pooper" under her breath.
"Ok fine. Tell us everything about your friend Roxy then. Right from the beginning." Usagi said. Minako looked around the room nervously, she wasn't sure if Roxy's story was hers to tell, but at the eager looks she saw on her friends faces, she thought some information would not hurt. She would just have to be careful about how much she indulged their curiosity.
"Well alright, I'll tell you what I can. Settle in, this is one long and interesting story."
Roxy pushed her way through the crowded dance floor, fighting her way through people grinding and making out. Finally free of the floor she fell onto a bar stool and waved over Jed.
"Are you having fun out there?" He asked looking her over. She was coated in sweat that gave her skin an extra shine. Her once perfect hairstyle was beginning to come loose and she had gotten rid of the leather jacket a while ago. Her chest was heaving because of her dancing and Jed was entranced by her appearance. She looked up at Jed and winked at him.
"Of course, but I could think of a few things that'd be more fun... fer both of us," She said seductively running her finger down his chest. He raised his eyebrows suggestively but did not say anything, "but fer now gimme a shot of that there tequila and Sex with the bartender." Jed laughed out loud at that but mixed her drink and got her a shot of tequila. Jed handed her the salt and in an instant, she had grabbed both it and his hand. She licked the side of his hand and applied the salt grabbed her shot and brought her lips down to where she had put the salt. She sucked the salt off his hand and took her shot, swallowing and sucking on the lemon that Jed now held in between his thumb and index finger for her. She ran her tongue over the rim of her lips and took a sensual breath before saying: "mmm... that was... yummy."
Minako was not sure how to start her story about Roxy. Her friend was a very complex person who was not easy to explain. "Well I suppose every good story has a beginning." Minako started. Rei rolled her eyes.
"Yeah that's orginal." She said. Minako threw a pillow at her and asked,
"Do you want me to tell you the story or not?" When Rei nodded, Minako continued. "Roxy's grandparents lived next door to me and my family when we lived in England. Her and her parents would come and visit and we became good friends." Minako took a deep breath and continued with a far off look in her eyes. She did not like this part of the story. "When Roxy was ten, both her parents died in a car crash and she was pretty much lost. Not like physically lost, but she wouldn't respond to anything or anyone. She moved in with her grandparents, so I hung around her a lot, trying to get her back to her normal self. After about a year, she began to react again, and we were playing as we used to. She was like my older sister; she would always protect me and teach me new things. It was great, everything was going good, but then her grandfather passed on a year later, because he was old and that shit happens at the worst possible times. She was shook up about that, but it wasn't so bad because she didn't lose her whole family and we really had become like one big family. When Roxy was fourteen her grandmother passed away too, she had been really sick, but Roxy and I knew that it was because she was lonely, like being married to one person for so long and then suddenly not having him there anymore really started to way on her. When that happened Roxy only had one uncle left, who had lived with his parents pretty much all his life. Bastard he was, still don't like talking about it much, but sigh it's an important part of what formed the Roxy you've met. I suppose I should add that Roxy inherited her parent's fortune and a lot of her grandparent's estate. Her uncle, let's call him Lester cause I am not ever going to repeat his name, was very jealous of this and he took it out of the poor girl with a vengeance. At first she would just come over with bruises and some cuts. Easily explained, we both fooled around a lot so getting bruises and scrapes wasn't uncommon. When she came crying to our house with a broken wrist we knew something was going on. For one thing, she could have gone to her uncle, she didn't have to run to our house from hers, for another her broken wrist was accompanied by new fresh bruises. We asked her what happened and she told my parents that Lester," she said the name rather venomously, "had backhanded her across the face, and when she had tried to fight back and protect herself he grabbed her wrist and snapped it." She looked around the group and saw the same sort of reactions on all her friends' faces, anger, sadness and loathing. Makoto even looked like she was ready to hunt down this 'Uncle Lester' and throttle him. "Mako-chan, calm down. Ne-chan took good care of that bastard. She got him good after he well... she just gave him his just desert. He did things to her that changed her... made her into who she is today. When she was sixteen, just before I left to come here actually, he..." She faltered for a moment trying to get a barring on what she was about to tell her friends. "He... well...he"
"Did he rape her?" Rei asked angrily, when Minako nodded her head slightly, the whole room let out disgusted grunts and gasps.
"She left after that, she couldn't live there anymore so she moved back to Sacramento, where she had lived with her parents. She sold her grandparents house and left 'Uncle Lester' with nothing. Fate worse then going to jail, 'cause she made sure that he wouldn't be able to work anywhere or get anything from anyone. Then he just disappeared one day. I know Roxy has something to do with it, but she sealed her lips tight about it. It's not like there was anyone to make a big fuss over him or anything, but still, she ruined him and then made him go away. I don't think it really made her feel much better though, I mean she still thinks lower of herself because of him, but I can't really say anything about that, it's more her story to tell about how she feels and so on. But she definitely changed since then. She does what she wants when she wants to and well she's quite wild I suppose. I think that has a lot to do with where she spent the better part of her teenage years though. Sapphire had a big influence on her too." Minako finished.
"Sapphire? As in Sapphire from the band Dark Side of the Moon?" Usagi asked. Minako nodded.
"Yup Roxy wrote that they were going out, and I read it in some papers. They've been on and off for four years. They just had a big break up, I think that's a big reason why she came over here for a little while, that and she missed me of course." Minako smiled and the others rolled their eyes and threw a couple pillows in her direction.
Roxy walked out of a small office room in the back of the bar, straightening her skirt, she stopped at a mirror to make sure she didn't look too disheveled. Jed emerged a minute later and hung his arm over her shoulder, placing a gentle kiss of her temple.
"Now that wasn't what I had expected." He said as he led her back to the bar. She smiled devilishly.
"Mmm. We'll have ta do it agin sometime." She said suggestively as she ran a finger down his chest. Jed led her back to the bar and walked behind the counter. "Well since I've tried sex wit the bartender... why not a little Sex on the Beach next. I've always favored 'em." The way Jed looked at her just then with his darkened eyes and his little smirk, made her shiver in anticipation and desire. But she didn't have time just then for another 'roll in the hay', it was nearly two A.M and Roxy was starting to feel the weight of the day on her. She needed to find Akane and tell her she was leaving, but after this drink.
As she sat sipping at her sex of the beach she noticed a young man a couple years older than her looking rather gloomy as he downed a shot of what looked to be whiskey from this distance. Being naturally rather bubbly, a trait she shared with Mi-chan although not to the same extent, she walked over and sat beside him.
"What's gotcha down hun?" She asked leaning her elbow on the bar to get a better view of his face. He was a gorgeous specimen that was certain. He had short sandy blonde hair and when he looked up at her she saw that his eyes where the deepest emerald green she had ever seen. "A boy as handsome as you shouldn't be frownin'." He called for another shot and when he had finished it he spoke.
"I dun belleeve I'd eva met cha sweetings..." he said focusing on Roxy's abundant cleavage. She rolled her eyes and lifted his chin until his eyes met hers. "Now you have." She said smiling. Roxy could tell he was drunk and heading to insanely drunk. She let her hand fall from his chin and his eyes promptly fell back to her cleavage. The guy couldn't even hold his head up, let alone walk out of the club.
She looked up to find Jed watching her with a heated gaze and waved him over. He leaned in close to her and she whispered, "I think this guy's had enough Jed. I doubt he'll be able ta walk outta this place without passing out." Jed nodded.
"That's Motoki. Girlfriend of five years just broke up with him, said she fell in love with someone else while she was away studying. She should've just ripped out his heart and thrown it in salt and lemon juice. He's usually with a friend of his, but he came alone tonight. I had Nat watching him earlier." Jed looked around until he caught the eye of the man he was looking for and called him over. Nat was a tall and well-built man. He was bigger than Jed in both height and body, but just as handsome. His long brown hair was tied back with an elastic and his eyes were a deep brown. He bowed his head at Roxy and looked up at Jed expectantly.
"What's up cuz? I gotta a girl waiting for me over there," he said pointing over to a corner of the room where Roxy could see Akane looking breathless. Jed pointed down to the mass that was Motoki and Roxy saw Nat blanch slightly. "Umm... Oops...I'll ahh... take him upstairs for the night." He grabbed Motoki's under his arms and began dragging the poor guy towards a back door, which, Roxy assumed, held a hidden staircase or something behind them to lead to rooms. Roxy turned to Jed and smiled.
"So you've got beds here?" Jed just smiled and went back to work.
"Yeah so that's why Roxy is pretty wild and extravagant at times. I mean she's a great girl, but you've got to have a lot of stamina to keep up with her. I think that's why we get along so well. We're both bubbly and fun and love having a good time." Minako said smiling brightly at her audience.
"Well that's quite a story Minako." Ami said lying down on her stomach looking up at Minako with slight awe. "I can't believe how much more you have experienced than I have. It just shows me how much more I have to learn."
"Aww... Well I haven't done nearly as much as Ne-chan. SHE'S done it all, I swear the stories that girl could tell ya! Some of the things she's done would even make Rei blush." Minako waited prepared to catch the pillow that she was sure Rei would throw at her. After nothing happened for a couple more seconds Minako looked to where her other friends lay to see that they had all fallen asleep. "How dare they fall asleep during my story! Ami! They fell asleep." Ami just shrugged.
"It's late anyways. The whole town is probably sleeping by now." Ami yawned to emphasize her point and pulled her sleeping bag up to her chin. "Good night 'Mi-chan'." She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep, leaving Minako on her own.
"But I'm not tried!" She whined to the night. "I mean it's only," she looked at her watch, "Okay well it's three in the morning... but still! You're not supposed to actually sleep at a slumber party..." With in ten minutes of complaining, Minako's snores filled the room too as the girls all slept and dreamed of their princes.
Roxy walked into Minako's house around five that morning. After taking care of Motoki, Roxy had found Akane but instead of leaving like she had planned to do she ended up dancing until closing time and then staying later with Jed, Nat, Jed's brother Zach and their other cousin Kenji. The small party, which also consisted of Akane and a few other girls from the club, soon separated with their respective partners for the evening and well it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what went on behind closed doors. Jed had been her needed distraction and as a bonus, he was a very good lover. She walked into her room falling onto the bed and pulling a blanket over her body. She fell asleep instantly, but instead of dreaming of her blonde haired, blue-eyed man, she dreamt of a certain dark haired man, a forbidden fruit.
"Where is your friend?" Usagi asked when Minako sat down beside her on the couch.
"She was really tired so she opted for staying in and going to bed early. Plus I think she didn't want to take away any attention from the soon to be blushing bride." Minako watched as Usagi blushed at the statement, as she knew she would. "So let's have it! We want to know everything!" The girls all gathered around Usagi and admired the ring again.
"Well I already told you most of what happened..." another blush began to creep it's way onto Usagi's face and the girls knew that she hadn't told them a very important part of the story.
"Oh! Usa! What aren't you telling us girl?" Makoto said nudging her in the side with her elbow. "Did you and Mamoru get it on or what?" Minako giggled at her friend's frankness, but she too was very interested in hearing the answer.
"Yeah, did the baka finally stop with the whole nobility thing and show ya how much he loves ya or what?" This came from Rei who was grinning at Usagi knowingly. That is the look of girl who recently got some, Minako thought. Even Ami looked somewhat apprehensive of the subject.
"Yeah common Usagi, little Ami wants to know how accurate her books are." Minako said. Ami blushed a deep red and shot a dirty look towards Minako.
"Well, sorry to burst your bubbles girls, but I still am, however unfortunate it may be, a part of the dwindling virgin race." Usagi said. The girls sighed.
"Why does that man insist on waiting? I mean he already proposed. And really he's only hurting himself." Rei said exasperated.
"You don't have to tell me that Rei, believe me. If I were lying on his bed naked, he would probably make some excuse to leave and run away. I mean when I was younger, I understand, but I'm totally legal now and Dad has warmed up to the idea of Mamoru with Mom's help. Grr! Stupid fiancée!" All the girls laughed. And they said only guys thought of sex every seven seconds!
Roxy and Akane made their way passed the huge line of people waiting to get into the popular dance club. The bouncer took one look at the two girls, winking at Akane, and opened the door for them. Their senses were immediately overwhelmed with the sound of loud music and the smell of alcohol. They made their way passed the dance floor, which was already starting to fill up with horny guys and dolls looking for a good time. They found two empty stools at the bar and sat down, waving over the bartender in the process. He was a very handsome man indeed, Roxy thought as he made his way over two the girls. He had short dirty blonde hair and his eyes were a deep sky blue. Roxy could tell he was well muscled from the tight black shirt he wore.
"U're right Akane, he is great eye candy." Roxy whispered to her friend as he came up to take their orders.
"What can I get you two beautiful ladies this evening?" He asked, his voice sounded low and seductive, as he too looked both girls up and down, paying particular attention to Roxy.
"Well that depends... are you on the menu?" Roxy asked quirking an eyebrow. He laughed at her remark and replied.
"We'll just have to see how the night goes. I'm Jed, co-owner of this wonderful establishment, and you are the notorious Roxanne Star no?" He asked.
"Bravo Jed, I see my rep precedes me. Well since, we've gottan ta know each other, why don't cha show me your skills..." she paused licking her lower lip, "at mixing a long island ice tea for me and a vodka tonic for my friend." Jed winked at her and left to make the drinks.
Akane smacked her playfully. "Gurl, how do you do it?"
"Years of practice dear friend, years and years of practice." Jed returned with their drinks, but could not talk as the place was beginning to fill up considerably. This is definitely going to prove to be a very eventful night, Roxy thought as she sipped on her drink.
Minako laughed as she watched Usagi take a bite out of a red hot pepper. Her eyes were watering like crazy and she was fanning her mouth in hopes it would make her tongue feel better.
"Rei I can't believe you made her take a bite of that pepper!" Ami said as she handed Usagi a glass of water.
"Hey she chose dare and if she didn't want to do it then she would have had to do the ultimate dare which we all know she would never do." Rei said in her defense. Some people would think that truth or dare was a bit childish, but not this group of girls. They enjoyed making each other do the most embarrassing or idiotic things possible. They had decided long ago that if one of them did not want to complete the assigned dare that they would have to do a penalty of having their deepest secret exposed to Umino, who would in turn make sure everyone knew about it within a week. Each girl had a different ultimate dare that tailored to her own extreme embarrassment factor. For Usagi it was anything involving Mamoru and sex and like Rei said, she would never do it.
"Well, it's my turn," Usagi exclaimed as she looked around the circle of friends for her victim. "Minako, you haven't gotten a truth or dare in awhile. Pick." Usagi said already trying to think as something evil to do to Minako. Minako did not want to be on the receiving end of Usagi's torment, and since she hadn't used her one truth allowed yet she decided now would be as good a time as any.
"I choose... Truth." Usagi's shoulders slumped and she pouted. Minako smiled brightly as she heard Usagi mutter "party pooper" under her breath.
"Ok fine. Tell us everything about your friend Roxy then. Right from the beginning." Usagi said. Minako looked around the room nervously, she wasn't sure if Roxy's story was hers to tell, but at the eager looks she saw on her friends faces, she thought some information would not hurt.

Roxy pushed her way through the crowded dance floor, fighting her way through people grinding and making out. Finally free of the floor she fell onto a bar stool and waved over Jed.
"Are you having fun out there?" He asked looking her over. She was coated in sweat that gave her skin an extra shine. Her once perfect hairstyle was beginning to come loose and she had gotten rid of the leather jacket a while ago. Her chest was heaving because of her dancing and Jed was entranced by her appearance. She looked up at Jed and winked at him.
"Of course, but I could think of a few things that'd be more fun... fer both of us," She said seductively running her finger down his chest.

Her uncle, let's call him Lester cause I am not ever going to repeat his name, was very jealous of this and he took it out of the poor girl with a vengeance.

"Did he rape her?" Rei asked angrily, when Minako nodded her head slightly, the whole room let out disgusted grunts and gasps.
"She left after that, she couldn't live there anymore so she moved back to Sacramento, where she had lived with her parents. She sold her grandparents house and left 'Uncle Lester' with nothing.

"Sapphire? As in Sapphire from the band Dark Side of the Moon?" Usagi asked. Minako nodded.
"Yup Roxy wrote that they were going out, and I read it in some papers. They've been on and off for four years. They just had a big break up, I think that's a big reason why she came over here for a little while, that and she missed me of course." Minako smiled and the others rolled their eyes and threw a couple pillows in her direction.
Roxy walked out of a small office room in the back of the bar, straightening her skirt, she stopped at a mirror to make sure she didn't look too disheveled. Jed emerged a minute later and hung his arm over her shoulder, placing a gentle kiss of her temple.
"Now that wasn't what I had expected." He said as he led her back to the bar. She smiled devilishly.
"Mmm. We'll have ta do it agin sometime." She said suggestively as she ran a finger down his chest. Jed led her back to the bar and walked behind the counter. "Well since I've tried sex wit the bartender... why not a little Sex on the Beach next. I've always favored 'em." The way Jed looked at her just then with his darkened eyes and his little smirk, made her shiver in anticipation and desire. But she didn't have time just then for another 'roll in the hay', it was nearly two A.M and Roxy was starting to feel the weight of the day on her. She needed to find Akane and tell her she was leaving, but after this drink.
As she sat sipping at her sex of the beach she noticed a young man a couple years older than her looking rather gloomy as he downed a shot of what looked to be whiskey from this distance. Being naturally rather bubbly, a trait she shared with Mi-chan although not to the same extent, she walked over and sat beside him.
"What's gotcha down hun?" She asked leaning her elbow on the bar to get a better view of his face. He was a gorgeous specimen that was certain. He had short sandy blonde hair and when he looked up at her she saw that his eyes where the deepest emerald green she had ever seen. "A boy as handsome as you shouldn't be frownin'." He called for another shot and when he had finished it he spoke.
"I dun belleeve I'd eva met cha sweetings..." he said focusing on Roxy's abundant cleavage. She rolled her eyes and lifted his chin until his eyes met hers. "Now you have." She said smiling. Roxy could tell he was drunk and heading to insanely drunk. She let her hand fall from his chin and his eyes promptly fell back to her cleavage.

Jed looked around until he caught the eye of the man he was looking for and called him over. Nat was a tall and well-built man. He was bigger than Jed in both height and body, but just as handsome. His long brown hair was tied back with an elastic and his eyes were a deep brown. He bowed his head at Roxy and looked up at Jed expectantly.
"What's up cuz? I gotta a girl waiting for me over there," he said pointing over to a corner of the room where Roxy could see Akane looking breathless. Jed pointed down to the mass that was Motoki and Roxy saw Nat blanch slightly. "Umm... Oops...I'll ahh... take him upstairs for the night." He grabbed Motoki's under his arms and began dragging the poor guy towards a back door, which, Roxy assumed, held a hidden staircase or something behind them to lead to rooms. Roxy turned to Jed and smiled.
"So you've got beds here?" Jed just smiled and went back to work.
"Yeah so that's why Roxy is pretty wild and extravagant at times. I mean she's a great girl, but you've got to have a lot of stamina to keep up with her. I think that's why we get along so well. We're both bubbly and fun and love having a good time." Minako said smiling brightly at her audience.
"Well that's quite a story Minako." Ami said lying down on her stomach looking up at Minako with slight awe. "I can't believe how much more you have experienced than I have. It just shows me how much more I have to learn."
"Aww... Well I haven't done nearly as much as Ne-chan. SHE'S done it all, I swear the stories that girl could tell ya! Some of the things she's done would even make Rei blush." Minako waited prepared to catch the pillow that she was sure Rei would throw at her. After nothing happened for a couple more seconds Minako looked to where her other friends lay to see that they had all fallen asleep. "How dare they fall asleep during my story! Ami! They fell asleep." Ami just shrugged.
"It's late anyways. The whole town is probably sleeping by now." Ami yawned to emphasize her point and pulled her sleeping bag up to her chin. "Good night 'Mi-chan'." She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep, leaving Minako on her own.
"But I'm not tried!" She whined to the night. "I mean it's only," she looked at her watch, "Okay well it's three in the morning... but still! You're not supposed to actually sleep at a slumber party..." With in ten minutes of complaining, Minako's snores filled the room too as the girls all slept and dreamed of their princes.
Roxy walked into Minako's house around five that morning. After taking care of Motoki, Roxy had found Akane but instead of leaving like she had planned to do she ended up dancing until closing time and then staying later with Jed, Nat, Jed's brother Zach and their other cousin Kenji. The small party, which also consisted of Akane and a few other girls from the club, soon separated with their respective partners for the evening and well it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what went on behind closed doors. Jed had been her needed distraction and as a bonus, he was a very good lover. She walked into her room falling onto the bed and pulling a blanket over her body. She fell asleep instantly, but instead of dreaming of her blonde haired, blue-eyed man, she dreamt of a certain dark haired man, a forbidden fruit.
