Part Two
Inside, Kendall lay on the floor bleeding horribly from a wound in her stomach and Greenlee lying over her with a long knife in her hand. "OMG. Greenlee, what have you done?" Simone shouted. Mia ran to the phone, called 911. She then grabbed some towels from a closet and tried to stop the bleeding as much as she could while Simone helped Greenlee to her feet and sat her down in the chair and had her put the knife on the table and tried to calm her down and find out what on earth happened, "Greenlee. Greenlee. GREENLEE?"
"What? I'm here, what's the matter with you. Stop screaming my name like that." Greenlee gave Simone a dirty look and then turned to see Kendall on the floor bleeding, she let out a very loud scream, and just as she was about to pass out Simone rushed over, put her arms around her and again sat her back on the chair.
The emergency team arrived less then 15 minutes after Mia called and quickly began working on Kendall. Giving her air to breathe right away and stopping the bleeding before they put her on the stretcher and took her down to the ambulance and drove her to the hospital.
One man stayed behind and started asking questions, "Hi, my name is Detective Frank Stapleton and I'm an off duty police officer and I need to ask you some questions." "Listen, can we do this later. We really need to be with our friend at the hospital." Mia said as she put on her jacket and went over to get Simone and Greenlee. "Just a second, what's that knife doing beside you two?" the man asked as he walked towards the table and had a long look at the knife.
"I don't know. It was here when we got back. Kendall was on the floor and we didn't see a thing." Simone lied quickly and then noticed the briefcase with all the money was gone as well, "Look, over there. We had some money here, a large sum of money and now it's gone. Sure looks like robbery to me." The detective was trying to follow things but everyone was talking at once, "Slow down. What money?"
"Can we please do this at the hospital? I want to make sure Kendall is okay." Mia pleaded again. "Okay, okay. I'll drive you." the man had a look at Greenlee who seemed to be in an almost catatonic state, "What's wrong with her? She doesn't look very good."
"She's just shook up. She found Kendall on the floor bleeding and I think she's in shock." Simone answered again as she held Greenlee up and began walking to the elevators. The man then grabbed his cell phone and called for the crime lab to come secure the place and make sure nobody else got in then took the elevator downstairs and drove the girls to the hospital.
Joni was sitting at the park bench when Laurie showed up and she quickly got up, greeted her with a smile and a hug and then sat down together. "Let me start okay." Laurie said before she actually sat down on the bench. "That's fine." Joni said softly.
"This whole thing with us is very confusing for me. First JR breaks up with me then I kiss Jamie and then we kiss. I just think it's like too much at one time and I snapped. I still shouldn't have took it out on you. I'm sorry for that." Laurie said as she maintained eye contact with Joni. the whole time. "I understand the being confused thing alot. I mean I was brought up in a very religious family and this is just not something I even considered could happen to me." Joni's confusion was just as evident as Laurie's and neither seemed to know what to do next.
"Well, what should we do about this?" Laurie asked hoping for some great solution from Joni, but it didn't come so she continued, "I'd be lying if I said I didn't like kissing you. I like you to, a lot. I liked JR and Jamie to. Right now, I can't even think of them. I can't seem to get you out of my head now. Joni smiled when she heard the last comment from Laurie, "Really? I feel the same way about you. I just feel so confused about it. What does it mean? What should we do?"
"I don't know. What do you want to do? We could just pretend it didn't happen and never talk about it again." Laurie paused just a little to see if Joni wanted this option but after a long pause she continued, "I don't want to forget about this. I don't think I could if I tried. Maybe we should kiss again and see if there's anything there? Any spark?" Joni's eyes widened at that idea, "Yes, I think we should, just to find out for sure."
The two girls looked around, saw the park seemed was empty so they leaned in very slowly, had a very soft kiss and quickly pulled away. They looked into each other's eyes and quickly leaned in for a much longer, harder kiss and in seconds were kissing passionately on the park bench with no concern for who might see them at all. As they pulled back from the latest kiss their hearts were both pounding extremely fast and they were both very, very warm all of a sudden and as they looked at each other they knew this wasn't going to just go away.
"Well, that was something." Laurie said with a sigh. "Oh yes, it was very good. So what does this mean?" Joni asked, anticipation, excitement and confusion all mixing together as she spoke. "I wish I knew." Laurie said with a shrug of her shoulders, "Maybe we shouldn't analyze it anymore. If something is going to happen between us I'm all for it. If not, I will never forget how it feels to kiss your soft lips."
"You turn me on when you say things like that." Joni smiled and blushed a little at the same time, "I don't want you to forget what it's like to kiss me either so maybe we should make sure that never happens." With that she leaned in and kissed Laurie once more and this time they just let loose and were kissing wildly on the park bench, hands moving up and down each other's backs and being tempted to move elsewhere but still being so unsure of what to do.
Finally, Laurie made a move. She slid her hand up and under Joni's sweater and put her hand over her very round breasts. Joni held Laurie's hand close to her chest and just kissed her that much harder. As if they'd forgotten where they were Joni slid her hands under Laurie's shirt and was soon caressing her very large firm breasts.
Joni. was about to undo some of Laurie's buttons when they heard a noise in front of them and both jumped away from each other and adjusted their tops and looked to see who was there. Jamie walked in and waved to the two girls who waved back and stood up as he walked towards them. "Hey there. I hope this means you two have worked out your problems?" Laurie smiled at Joni and then looked back at Jamie, "You could say that. We got some things off our chests, so to speak." Joni let out a laugh at Laurie's choice of words and Jamie couldn't quite see what was so funny, "Inside joke?" "Kind of, so what are you doing here?" Joni asked as she slid back closer to Laurie. "I had to get something from my dad and this is the best shortcut to his place." "You should probably get going then if it's important." Laurie suggested as nicely as she could. "I guess so. I'll call you tonight and we can talk about the party tomorrow. You two have fun then. Glad you're back talking again." Jamie then took off and was out of sight moments later. Joni grabbed Laurie's hands and shook her head at what they almost did, "That was close. If he was a bit quieter he might have walked in on something he'd never forget." "If he saw us kissing he wouldn't want to forget it either." Laurie joked, then just as quickly got serious again, "Now I don't know what to do about this party. He really wants to go and I don't. I want to spend the night with you. If you want to that is." "Of course that's what I want." Joni said as she smiled back at Laurie. "Well, maybe we can still make this happen. I know it's not very nice to do but we could go to the party the sneak out after we make an appearance and spend the rest of the night doing anything we want." "I like that. Especially the anything part" Laurie said with a sexy smiled, "Still, I can't do that to Jamie. It's not fair. I'm not sure I'm ready to tell him I want to spend all my time with you instead of him either. Why is everything so complicated?" Joni reached down, put her hand on Laurie's and held her close, "Who knows. The only way were going to have a chance together is if you break it off with him." "That's the thing. We're not really going out. We were going to this party together but not as a couple. Maybe he wouldn't be that upset if I didn't go." "I think your gonna have to talk to him tomorrow then. If he's upset he'll get over it though. He sure got over me fast enough." Joni said the last part with a bit more bitterness than she had intended. "I don't think he was over you. He just wanted to act like it. I do have an idea that might work here. Let's go back to my place and I'll tell you about it on the way." Laurie led the way back to her place and the two girls faded out of view still holding hands and not even aware of it.
Bianca was home rummaging through her closet for something to wear for her date with Lena and it wasn't surprising she hated everything she had in her very large walk in closet. She fell back on the bed in her underwear and threw her head back on the pillow and let out a mock scream at her situation and as she got up to continue the search her phone ran and she picked it up, "Hello?" "Hi Bianca, it's Maggie. Listen I feel really bad about ditching you today. Did you find what you were looking for?" "I found some helpful things I was looking for and one I didn't expect at all." Bianca said as she rifled through every single outfit she owned. "Oh and what didn't you expect?" "It's nothing really. Lena dropped by to see me and asked me out to dinner. Isn't that great?" Bianca said trying to sound as excited as possible. "Yes, that's wonderful. I didn't know she was, well, I didn't know she..." Maggie stammered through that sentence not knowing how to word what she was trying to say, then moved on, "I'm glad you're going out though." Bianca got a chuckle out of Maggie's awkward moment, "You don't know if she's what? You mean a lesbian?" Maggie didn't want to get into all that and tried to change the subject, "It's great you're going to have dinner with her. I'm happy for you. I hope she's the one." "I have no idea about that." Bianca said softly, "She's just someone who wants to have dinner with me and I'm not in a position to turn down offers like that." "You're right. I don't know her well, but I'm sure she's a nice person." Maggie paused again not sure of what else to say. "She seems nice. She may have her own agenda going, but I'm well aware of that and am not going into this with my eyes closed. I am just having dinner and will see where it takes us." Bianca said calmly as she held another dress up against her body then quickly hung it up again. "That's a good idea. Take it slow and don't do anything you might regret." "Good advice." Bianca smiled, "Listen, if it's not too late did you want to help me pick out something to wear? I am having no luck at all. I hate all these clothes and none of them looks good on me. Or at least that's how it feels." Maggie thought over the offer, weighed the good and the bad and decided the good was much more important and that was helping Bianca when she needed it, "Sure, I was going to offer to help with your project, but I can certainly help you find something to wear. I've seen some of your dresses and they are very sexy so this will be easy." "I hope you're right. I will see you soon then. Thanks Maggie." Bianca said sincerely and put down her cell.
At the hospital Mia, Simone and Greenlee were standing at the information desk trying to get information on Kendall, but with all three of them talking at once, the nurse was having a very tough time doing her job. "Ladies please, only one person talk at a time." the nurse said in her most polite, yet irritated voice. Greenlee turned to Mia and Simone and they both became quiet almost instantly, then she smiled and turned back to the nurse, "Okay, sorry. We are looking for information on our friend. She has a knife wound to her stomach. Her name is Kendall Hart. She's Erica Kane's daughter." "Let me check the recent admissions. One moment please." the nurse said in a monotone voice as she began searching the computer for some information. The detective walked over to the three girls who were milling about waiting for word on Kendall's condition, "Hi ladies. We just got a preliminary report of a man fleeing the office you work in with a briefcase in hand. The description we got from an eyewitness, who was knocked over by the suspect, said he was about 5'11, 165 pounds, short dark hair, wearing a denim jacket with, navy blue sweat pants and a NY Yankees ball cap on his head. Does any of that sound familiar to you?" All three girls started picturing the description but it didn't fit with anyone they knew and told the detective as much. "Alright, well if you think of anything else please call me. Here's my card." He said as he handed Greenlee his business card. "We have a forensics team in your office at this moment. They will probably be there for another 3 to 4 hours, but you should have someone there when they leave so you can lock up when they're done." the detective turned to walk away and then stopped, "One last thing, If I were you I would find a more secure office than the one you have. Any stranger can just ride the elevator up to your floor and walk into your place of business with no security checkpoints to pass through. In this day and age, you have to be aware of this. If you want some help setting up some secure doors to your lobby I can give you some very good references." "Thank you very much." Mia said with a gracious smile, "I think we'll be doing that in the future. As soon as you find the money that man stole we can get to work on that and so many other things." Greenlee moved forward and had her say as well, "Yes, finding the thief and getting our money back should be your first concern. Whoever did this to Kendall needs to pay. Big time. You need to find this guy fast." "We have some very good leads and we believe your elevator has a video camera installed so we should be able to get a more complete ID of this person. If so, finding him will be that much quicker. Thank you for your time. I hope your friend is going be okay. Good-bye." Detective Stapleton smiled at the girls and walked out the door. "At least he seemed nice." Greenlee said, her anger subsiding just briefly, "I feel like maybe they will find this guy and he will get what he deserves." "I hope so to. We all want that." Simone added as she looked back at the nurse who was still doing something on her computer. The nurse then lifted her head up from the computer, "I have found your friend. It says she is in surgery, when she comes out of surgery, we will have more information. The estimate for this surgery is 45 minutes, and then it all depends on how the patient responds as to when you can visit her. The injury log says it's not life threatening so if there are no complications with the surgery she should make a full recovery." "Thank you very much." Greenlee said with a big sigh of relief and gratitude, "We'll wait in the waiting room over there. Please let us know when we can see her, as soon as possible." "Yes, of course." the nurse said then proceeded to the next person in line. The three girls walked over to the waiting area, sat down on the soft chairs and waited for the next bit of news.
Laurie led Joni into her house and she checked around to see if her dad was around and thankfully he wasn't so they headed up to her room. Once inside Laurie closed the door, locked it, took off her coat and hopped on her bed. Joni took her time removing her jacket as she was studying Laurie's room for the first time. Even though they had been friends for a couple years, they'd never been to the other's home. Joni felt her parent's were just too strict and Laurie was afraid her dad would cause a scene so they stuck to meeting at school or the park or the little diner near the park to talk and do homework together. Laurie's room had movie posters and some very abstract paintings covering the walls. She had a very neat little desk in one corner with a modest computer on it and in the other corner was a dresser and she had a fair size walk in closet beside her bed. Joni finally took off her coat, sat down beside Laurie on the bed and watched as she went through an address book until she found the name she was looking for. Laurie picked up her phone, looked at the number in front of her and then began to dial the number. She looked over at a confused Joni. "Just wait and see." The phone rang at the other end and a female voice picked up the phone and said, "Hello." "Hi Katie, it's Laurie. I was wondering if you were going to that party tomorrow night at Eddie's house?" "I'm not sure." Katie replied as she flipped through her CD collection. "Jamie mentioned going with me a couple weeks ago but I haven't heard from him since." "Well, I just talked to him and he is still interested in going with you but I guess he heard some rumor you were going with Doug instead so he was confused about what to do." Laurie was crossing her fingers at the little white lie she was telling, but thought it was for a good cause. "What? I don't even like Doug and he's never asked me out. God I hate high school. There's so many stupid rumors and all that gossip. If you talk to him again tell him to call me please. Or better yet give me his number and I'll clear this up myself right now." "That's a great idea. I know he'd be happy to hear from you." Laurie then gave Jamie's number to Katie and then hung up with a big smile on her face. Joni was in awe at how smoothly Laurie was and how perfectly she manipulated the situation, "OMG that was so amazing. You are a very clever girl." "Well thank you. I know they like each other and in the end Jamie will be much happier with her." Joni "I guess we have to decide what to tell Jamie if were not going to the party?" Laurie stood up and started thinking and pacing back in forth, "Wait, one thing first, did that guy really ask you to the party?" "Yes, he did. I just said no. I just brought that up because I felt bad about you going without me." Joni explained as she stood up and walked slowly towards Laurie. "Well then, we just tell him your date fell through and I'll say I want to stay and keep you company." Laurie said with a smile thinking the whole problem was now officially solved. Joni though was not pleased with how this turned out, "I'm not sure I like that. Makes me seem all needy and weak because a guy stood me up. I wouldn't need you to hold my hand over that." Laurie smiled at Joni, who didn't seem to appreciate it at the time, but as she put her hand around Joni's waist and kissed her softly Joni's icy shell melted away, "Maybe it's a good thing I'm there to hold your hand through this troubling time. Who knows what could happen after. Are you still set against this idea?" "You sure are a very persuasive girl. I bet you can talk me into doing anything for you." Joni said in her softest sexiest voice. "Why don't we just see about that. I'm thinking I want to kiss you right now, is that what you want?" Laurie asked as she kissed all around Joni's soft full lips. Joni didn't answer with words, but instead put her lips on Laurie's and again the two girls were kissing like crazy. The two girls slowly moved over to the bed, still kissing and had begun to move their hands all over each other's bodies when Joni stopped and sat up abruptly. Laurie sat up, looked at Joni and saw a look of confusion on her face, "What's wrong? Don't you want to keep going?" "I don't know. I mean, I do and I don't. It's just happening so fast." "I guess it is. I feel so close to you right now and it just seemed to perfect." Laurie said softly, trying to explain how she saw it. "You're right though." Joni said with some renewed enthusiasm she had lost earlier, "I feel so close to you right now it's scary. I feel like I've known you all my life and we aren't some strangers meeting for the first time. Why is this so hard?" Laurie ran her fingers through Joni's long blonde hair and tried to comfort her, "I know, it's different that's all. In many ways, I feel like we already know each other more than we ever would some stranger we might date. It would take years to know them this well so it's like we've been able to skip the whole dating process because we've done it for the past few years." "That's so true, yet this part of our friendship is certainly new. I don't know, it just feels like maybe we're rushing it. Or maybe it's just hormones and we can't control ourselves when we start kissing." Joni laughed at first, but felt a real sense that they needed to wait before they took the next step. "I think you're right. I just can't help it, when I kiss you I get so hot and excited and I want you so bad. God it's really such a good feeling to have." "I know, I feel the same about you. You are so pretty. I want to kiss you so much. We can kiss still, right?" Joni asked as if Laurie knew the rules to all this. Laurie smiled at such a question, "Well yes of course we can kiss and we will kiss. But for now, we'll just wait until we're both ready before we take the next step. I guess we should see if we can stand being around each other so much before we do anything else." Joni nodded agreement, the two girls hugged again and soon they were back kissing and were going at it very hot and heavy when Laurie's dad knocked on her door. The two girls stopped the kiss that second, Joni sat down in the chair and Laurie took a breath and then opened the door.
Maggie arrived at Bianca's place fairly quickly and was told to come by Bianca and so she did and so she made her way through her place and was a bit surprised to see Bianca standing in her bra and panties holding a dress up against her body. "Hi. I see you're in the middle of changing, I should wait outside." Maggie said as she turned to walk away. "Maggie, come on. Is this uncomfortable for you?" Bianca asked as she made eye contact with her, "I can put some clothes on if it helps, but I will be taking them off every single time I try on something new. We've seen each other like this before. Please stay." "Okay, of course I'll stay. I didn't want to just barge in on you if you weren't ready is all. Anyway, let me have a look at what's in your closet here and I'll see what I like." Bianca's face was glowing, as it always did when Maggie was around, "Thank you so much. I just can't be objective and really think everything looks horrible on me, so your a life saver." Maggie smiled back at her and then looked through her very large wardrobe and picked out 5 outfits and came back and sat them on the bed in a row, "Here's my first 5 picks. These will all look great on you. Try them on and let's have a look." With a big smile on her face Bianca picked the first dress, a long flowing red strapless dress that really showed off her figure perfectly and really showed ample cleavage, while still remaining highly elegant at the same time. Bianca pulled it up and over and Maggie zipped it up in the back and she walked over to the mirror, had a look and then turned around and saw how nicely it fit in the back as well and then looked back at Maggie, "Well, what'ya think?" Maggie just gave Bianca a very big smile, "You look beautiful in that dress. I do like red on you. It hugs your curves just right and is sexy and yet not trashy so I love it." "I don't know. Don't you think it's a little to revealing up top here?" Bianca said as she pointed to her breasts. "Have you never heard the saying, "If you've got it, flaunt it", well you've got it Bianca and it's not really even flaunting it. You can't hide your breasts all the time. Let's be honest, you shouldn't have to." Bianca blushed and then turned to face the mirror and still couldn't get over how she looked in the dress, "Maybe your right. Let me try on the others and compare." With that, Bianca grabbed the next outfit, which was a much sexier one, a sparkly blue little dressy halter-top and a very short matching blue and silver skirt. She looked in the mirror and this time was very conscious of her thighs being so exposed, but turned to Maggie for her opinion. Maggie walked in a circle around Bianca and liked what she saw, "Now that is hot. Not sure what look you want for this date but if you wore that you'd sure make an impression." "Maybe I'll save this for another time then. I'm glad you think it's hot though. I'll remember that for sure." Bianca then slipped out of that outfit and grabbed the next one and pulled it on. This time she had on a very tight white dress, skin tight to be exact. It was low-cut, but not as much as the first dress and the dress was down to just above her knees so it was much longer than the other one to. Maggie really seemed to like this one, "OMG, this is the one. It's like this dress was made to be worn by you. Look at yourself in the mirror there. You are such a sex woman. Let me tell you something, white works for you. It does." "God you make me feel so good. It's kind of tight though isn't it? I always thought tight was seen as slutty? Is that wrong?" Bianca asked, truly not sure of how she looked to others. "No, this is not a slutty dress, not even close. It's beautiful, sexy, elegant and it's so perfect on you it's stunning. Makes me wish I were the one you were wearing this for." Maggie said the words before she realized it. "Really? You'd want me to wear this for you?" Bianca said, her voice full of renewed enthusiasm for a brief moment, then trailed off as she continued, "I thought you didn't want to...never mind, I know you were just being nice. Anyway, I don't think I will wear this for tonight. It's just not the right one." Maggie felt bad and yet wasn't sure what to do to make it better, "I did mean it. I think you look so beautiful in that dress. You should wear it for a special occasion." Bianca was already taking the dress off when the phone rang. She grabbed her cell and was surprised to hear Greenlee's voice on the other end, "Hi Bianca. I'm at the hospital. Kendall is here. She's in surgery right now for a knife wound. The nurse said she will be fine, but they have to do some damage control first. I thought you should know and maybe you could tell Erica to." "What, someone stabbed her? Where? How? I'll call mom and we'll be right there." Bianca hung up the phone and began searching for her clothes. Maggie heard the word stabbed and new something bad had happened, "What's going on? Who got stabbed?" "It was Kendall. She's in surgery now. I just have to be there." Maggie was quick to jump in with her support, "Of course. Let me go with you." "Thanks, I really do need you there." Bianca finished dressing and the two girls rushed out the door moments later.
Inside, Kendall lay on the floor bleeding horribly from a wound in her stomach and Greenlee lying over her with a long knife in her hand. "OMG. Greenlee, what have you done?" Simone shouted. Mia ran to the phone, called 911. She then grabbed some towels from a closet and tried to stop the bleeding as much as she could while Simone helped Greenlee to her feet and sat her down in the chair and had her put the knife on the table and tried to calm her down and find out what on earth happened, "Greenlee. Greenlee. GREENLEE?"
"What? I'm here, what's the matter with you. Stop screaming my name like that." Greenlee gave Simone a dirty look and then turned to see Kendall on the floor bleeding, she let out a very loud scream, and just as she was about to pass out Simone rushed over, put her arms around her and again sat her back on the chair.
The emergency team arrived less then 15 minutes after Mia called and quickly began working on Kendall. Giving her air to breathe right away and stopping the bleeding before they put her on the stretcher and took her down to the ambulance and drove her to the hospital.
One man stayed behind and started asking questions, "Hi, my name is Detective Frank Stapleton and I'm an off duty police officer and I need to ask you some questions." "Listen, can we do this later. We really need to be with our friend at the hospital." Mia said as she put on her jacket and went over to get Simone and Greenlee. "Just a second, what's that knife doing beside you two?" the man asked as he walked towards the table and had a long look at the knife.
"I don't know. It was here when we got back. Kendall was on the floor and we didn't see a thing." Simone lied quickly and then noticed the briefcase with all the money was gone as well, "Look, over there. We had some money here, a large sum of money and now it's gone. Sure looks like robbery to me." The detective was trying to follow things but everyone was talking at once, "Slow down. What money?"
"Can we please do this at the hospital? I want to make sure Kendall is okay." Mia pleaded again. "Okay, okay. I'll drive you." the man had a look at Greenlee who seemed to be in an almost catatonic state, "What's wrong with her? She doesn't look very good."
"She's just shook up. She found Kendall on the floor bleeding and I think she's in shock." Simone answered again as she held Greenlee up and began walking to the elevators. The man then grabbed his cell phone and called for the crime lab to come secure the place and make sure nobody else got in then took the elevator downstairs and drove the girls to the hospital.
Joni was sitting at the park bench when Laurie showed up and she quickly got up, greeted her with a smile and a hug and then sat down together. "Let me start okay." Laurie said before she actually sat down on the bench. "That's fine." Joni said softly.
"This whole thing with us is very confusing for me. First JR breaks up with me then I kiss Jamie and then we kiss. I just think it's like too much at one time and I snapped. I still shouldn't have took it out on you. I'm sorry for that." Laurie said as she maintained eye contact with Joni. the whole time. "I understand the being confused thing alot. I mean I was brought up in a very religious family and this is just not something I even considered could happen to me." Joni's confusion was just as evident as Laurie's and neither seemed to know what to do next.
"Well, what should we do about this?" Laurie asked hoping for some great solution from Joni, but it didn't come so she continued, "I'd be lying if I said I didn't like kissing you. I like you to, a lot. I liked JR and Jamie to. Right now, I can't even think of them. I can't seem to get you out of my head now. Joni smiled when she heard the last comment from Laurie, "Really? I feel the same way about you. I just feel so confused about it. What does it mean? What should we do?"
"I don't know. What do you want to do? We could just pretend it didn't happen and never talk about it again." Laurie paused just a little to see if Joni wanted this option but after a long pause she continued, "I don't want to forget about this. I don't think I could if I tried. Maybe we should kiss again and see if there's anything there? Any spark?" Joni's eyes widened at that idea, "Yes, I think we should, just to find out for sure."
The two girls looked around, saw the park seemed was empty so they leaned in very slowly, had a very soft kiss and quickly pulled away. They looked into each other's eyes and quickly leaned in for a much longer, harder kiss and in seconds were kissing passionately on the park bench with no concern for who might see them at all. As they pulled back from the latest kiss their hearts were both pounding extremely fast and they were both very, very warm all of a sudden and as they looked at each other they knew this wasn't going to just go away.
"Well, that was something." Laurie said with a sigh. "Oh yes, it was very good. So what does this mean?" Joni asked, anticipation, excitement and confusion all mixing together as she spoke. "I wish I knew." Laurie said with a shrug of her shoulders, "Maybe we shouldn't analyze it anymore. If something is going to happen between us I'm all for it. If not, I will never forget how it feels to kiss your soft lips."
"You turn me on when you say things like that." Joni smiled and blushed a little at the same time, "I don't want you to forget what it's like to kiss me either so maybe we should make sure that never happens." With that she leaned in and kissed Laurie once more and this time they just let loose and were kissing wildly on the park bench, hands moving up and down each other's backs and being tempted to move elsewhere but still being so unsure of what to do.
Finally, Laurie made a move. She slid her hand up and under Joni's sweater and put her hand over her very round breasts. Joni held Laurie's hand close to her chest and just kissed her that much harder. As if they'd forgotten where they were Joni slid her hands under Laurie's shirt and was soon caressing her very large firm breasts.
Joni. was about to undo some of Laurie's buttons when they heard a noise in front of them and both jumped away from each other and adjusted their tops and looked to see who was there. Jamie walked in and waved to the two girls who waved back and stood up as he walked towards them. "Hey there. I hope this means you two have worked out your problems?" Laurie smiled at Joni and then looked back at Jamie, "You could say that. We got some things off our chests, so to speak." Joni let out a laugh at Laurie's choice of words and Jamie couldn't quite see what was so funny, "Inside joke?" "Kind of, so what are you doing here?" Joni asked as she slid back closer to Laurie. "I had to get something from my dad and this is the best shortcut to his place." "You should probably get going then if it's important." Laurie suggested as nicely as she could. "I guess so. I'll call you tonight and we can talk about the party tomorrow. You two have fun then. Glad you're back talking again." Jamie then took off and was out of sight moments later. Joni grabbed Laurie's hands and shook her head at what they almost did, "That was close. If he was a bit quieter he might have walked in on something he'd never forget." "If he saw us kissing he wouldn't want to forget it either." Laurie joked, then just as quickly got serious again, "Now I don't know what to do about this party. He really wants to go and I don't. I want to spend the night with you. If you want to that is." "Of course that's what I want." Joni said as she smiled back at Laurie. "Well, maybe we can still make this happen. I know it's not very nice to do but we could go to the party the sneak out after we make an appearance and spend the rest of the night doing anything we want." "I like that. Especially the anything part" Laurie said with a sexy smiled, "Still, I can't do that to Jamie. It's not fair. I'm not sure I'm ready to tell him I want to spend all my time with you instead of him either. Why is everything so complicated?" Joni reached down, put her hand on Laurie's and held her close, "Who knows. The only way were going to have a chance together is if you break it off with him." "That's the thing. We're not really going out. We were going to this party together but not as a couple. Maybe he wouldn't be that upset if I didn't go." "I think your gonna have to talk to him tomorrow then. If he's upset he'll get over it though. He sure got over me fast enough." Joni said the last part with a bit more bitterness than she had intended. "I don't think he was over you. He just wanted to act like it. I do have an idea that might work here. Let's go back to my place and I'll tell you about it on the way." Laurie led the way back to her place and the two girls faded out of view still holding hands and not even aware of it.
Bianca was home rummaging through her closet for something to wear for her date with Lena and it wasn't surprising she hated everything she had in her very large walk in closet. She fell back on the bed in her underwear and threw her head back on the pillow and let out a mock scream at her situation and as she got up to continue the search her phone ran and she picked it up, "Hello?" "Hi Bianca, it's Maggie. Listen I feel really bad about ditching you today. Did you find what you were looking for?" "I found some helpful things I was looking for and one I didn't expect at all." Bianca said as she rifled through every single outfit she owned. "Oh and what didn't you expect?" "It's nothing really. Lena dropped by to see me and asked me out to dinner. Isn't that great?" Bianca said trying to sound as excited as possible. "Yes, that's wonderful. I didn't know she was, well, I didn't know she..." Maggie stammered through that sentence not knowing how to word what she was trying to say, then moved on, "I'm glad you're going out though." Bianca got a chuckle out of Maggie's awkward moment, "You don't know if she's what? You mean a lesbian?" Maggie didn't want to get into all that and tried to change the subject, "It's great you're going to have dinner with her. I'm happy for you. I hope she's the one." "I have no idea about that." Bianca said softly, "She's just someone who wants to have dinner with me and I'm not in a position to turn down offers like that." "You're right. I don't know her well, but I'm sure she's a nice person." Maggie paused again not sure of what else to say. "She seems nice. She may have her own agenda going, but I'm well aware of that and am not going into this with my eyes closed. I am just having dinner and will see where it takes us." Bianca said calmly as she held another dress up against her body then quickly hung it up again. "That's a good idea. Take it slow and don't do anything you might regret." "Good advice." Bianca smiled, "Listen, if it's not too late did you want to help me pick out something to wear? I am having no luck at all. I hate all these clothes and none of them looks good on me. Or at least that's how it feels." Maggie thought over the offer, weighed the good and the bad and decided the good was much more important and that was helping Bianca when she needed it, "Sure, I was going to offer to help with your project, but I can certainly help you find something to wear. I've seen some of your dresses and they are very sexy so this will be easy." "I hope you're right. I will see you soon then. Thanks Maggie." Bianca said sincerely and put down her cell.
At the hospital Mia, Simone and Greenlee were standing at the information desk trying to get information on Kendall, but with all three of them talking at once, the nurse was having a very tough time doing her job. "Ladies please, only one person talk at a time." the nurse said in her most polite, yet irritated voice. Greenlee turned to Mia and Simone and they both became quiet almost instantly, then she smiled and turned back to the nurse, "Okay, sorry. We are looking for information on our friend. She has a knife wound to her stomach. Her name is Kendall Hart. She's Erica Kane's daughter." "Let me check the recent admissions. One moment please." the nurse said in a monotone voice as she began searching the computer for some information. The detective walked over to the three girls who were milling about waiting for word on Kendall's condition, "Hi ladies. We just got a preliminary report of a man fleeing the office you work in with a briefcase in hand. The description we got from an eyewitness, who was knocked over by the suspect, said he was about 5'11, 165 pounds, short dark hair, wearing a denim jacket with, navy blue sweat pants and a NY Yankees ball cap on his head. Does any of that sound familiar to you?" All three girls started picturing the description but it didn't fit with anyone they knew and told the detective as much. "Alright, well if you think of anything else please call me. Here's my card." He said as he handed Greenlee his business card. "We have a forensics team in your office at this moment. They will probably be there for another 3 to 4 hours, but you should have someone there when they leave so you can lock up when they're done." the detective turned to walk away and then stopped, "One last thing, If I were you I would find a more secure office than the one you have. Any stranger can just ride the elevator up to your floor and walk into your place of business with no security checkpoints to pass through. In this day and age, you have to be aware of this. If you want some help setting up some secure doors to your lobby I can give you some very good references." "Thank you very much." Mia said with a gracious smile, "I think we'll be doing that in the future. As soon as you find the money that man stole we can get to work on that and so many other things." Greenlee moved forward and had her say as well, "Yes, finding the thief and getting our money back should be your first concern. Whoever did this to Kendall needs to pay. Big time. You need to find this guy fast." "We have some very good leads and we believe your elevator has a video camera installed so we should be able to get a more complete ID of this person. If so, finding him will be that much quicker. Thank you for your time. I hope your friend is going be okay. Good-bye." Detective Stapleton smiled at the girls and walked out the door. "At least he seemed nice." Greenlee said, her anger subsiding just briefly, "I feel like maybe they will find this guy and he will get what he deserves." "I hope so to. We all want that." Simone added as she looked back at the nurse who was still doing something on her computer. The nurse then lifted her head up from the computer, "I have found your friend. It says she is in surgery, when she comes out of surgery, we will have more information. The estimate for this surgery is 45 minutes, and then it all depends on how the patient responds as to when you can visit her. The injury log says it's not life threatening so if there are no complications with the surgery she should make a full recovery." "Thank you very much." Greenlee said with a big sigh of relief and gratitude, "We'll wait in the waiting room over there. Please let us know when we can see her, as soon as possible." "Yes, of course." the nurse said then proceeded to the next person in line. The three girls walked over to the waiting area, sat down on the soft chairs and waited for the next bit of news.
Laurie led Joni into her house and she checked around to see if her dad was around and thankfully he wasn't so they headed up to her room. Once inside Laurie closed the door, locked it, took off her coat and hopped on her bed. Joni took her time removing her jacket as she was studying Laurie's room for the first time. Even though they had been friends for a couple years, they'd never been to the other's home. Joni felt her parent's were just too strict and Laurie was afraid her dad would cause a scene so they stuck to meeting at school or the park or the little diner near the park to talk and do homework together. Laurie's room had movie posters and some very abstract paintings covering the walls. She had a very neat little desk in one corner with a modest computer on it and in the other corner was a dresser and she had a fair size walk in closet beside her bed. Joni finally took off her coat, sat down beside Laurie on the bed and watched as she went through an address book until she found the name she was looking for. Laurie picked up her phone, looked at the number in front of her and then began to dial the number. She looked over at a confused Joni. "Just wait and see." The phone rang at the other end and a female voice picked up the phone and said, "Hello." "Hi Katie, it's Laurie. I was wondering if you were going to that party tomorrow night at Eddie's house?" "I'm not sure." Katie replied as she flipped through her CD collection. "Jamie mentioned going with me a couple weeks ago but I haven't heard from him since." "Well, I just talked to him and he is still interested in going with you but I guess he heard some rumor you were going with Doug instead so he was confused about what to do." Laurie was crossing her fingers at the little white lie she was telling, but thought it was for a good cause. "What? I don't even like Doug and he's never asked me out. God I hate high school. There's so many stupid rumors and all that gossip. If you talk to him again tell him to call me please. Or better yet give me his number and I'll clear this up myself right now." "That's a great idea. I know he'd be happy to hear from you." Laurie then gave Jamie's number to Katie and then hung up with a big smile on her face. Joni was in awe at how smoothly Laurie was and how perfectly she manipulated the situation, "OMG that was so amazing. You are a very clever girl." "Well thank you. I know they like each other and in the end Jamie will be much happier with her." Joni "I guess we have to decide what to tell Jamie if were not going to the party?" Laurie stood up and started thinking and pacing back in forth, "Wait, one thing first, did that guy really ask you to the party?" "Yes, he did. I just said no. I just brought that up because I felt bad about you going without me." Joni explained as she stood up and walked slowly towards Laurie. "Well then, we just tell him your date fell through and I'll say I want to stay and keep you company." Laurie said with a smile thinking the whole problem was now officially solved. Joni though was not pleased with how this turned out, "I'm not sure I like that. Makes me seem all needy and weak because a guy stood me up. I wouldn't need you to hold my hand over that." Laurie smiled at Joni, who didn't seem to appreciate it at the time, but as she put her hand around Joni's waist and kissed her softly Joni's icy shell melted away, "Maybe it's a good thing I'm there to hold your hand through this troubling time. Who knows what could happen after. Are you still set against this idea?" "You sure are a very persuasive girl. I bet you can talk me into doing anything for you." Joni said in her softest sexiest voice. "Why don't we just see about that. I'm thinking I want to kiss you right now, is that what you want?" Laurie asked as she kissed all around Joni's soft full lips. Joni didn't answer with words, but instead put her lips on Laurie's and again the two girls were kissing like crazy. The two girls slowly moved over to the bed, still kissing and had begun to move their hands all over each other's bodies when Joni stopped and sat up abruptly. Laurie sat up, looked at Joni and saw a look of confusion on her face, "What's wrong? Don't you want to keep going?" "I don't know. I mean, I do and I don't. It's just happening so fast." "I guess it is. I feel so close to you right now and it just seemed to perfect." Laurie said softly, trying to explain how she saw it. "You're right though." Joni said with some renewed enthusiasm she had lost earlier, "I feel so close to you right now it's scary. I feel like I've known you all my life and we aren't some strangers meeting for the first time. Why is this so hard?" Laurie ran her fingers through Joni's long blonde hair and tried to comfort her, "I know, it's different that's all. In many ways, I feel like we already know each other more than we ever would some stranger we might date. It would take years to know them this well so it's like we've been able to skip the whole dating process because we've done it for the past few years." "That's so true, yet this part of our friendship is certainly new. I don't know, it just feels like maybe we're rushing it. Or maybe it's just hormones and we can't control ourselves when we start kissing." Joni laughed at first, but felt a real sense that they needed to wait before they took the next step. "I think you're right. I just can't help it, when I kiss you I get so hot and excited and I want you so bad. God it's really such a good feeling to have." "I know, I feel the same about you. You are so pretty. I want to kiss you so much. We can kiss still, right?" Joni asked as if Laurie knew the rules to all this. Laurie smiled at such a question, "Well yes of course we can kiss and we will kiss. But for now, we'll just wait until we're both ready before we take the next step. I guess we should see if we can stand being around each other so much before we do anything else." Joni nodded agreement, the two girls hugged again and soon they were back kissing and were going at it very hot and heavy when Laurie's dad knocked on her door. The two girls stopped the kiss that second, Joni sat down in the chair and Laurie took a breath and then opened the door.
Maggie arrived at Bianca's place fairly quickly and was told to come by Bianca and so she did and so she made her way through her place and was a bit surprised to see Bianca standing in her bra and panties holding a dress up against her body. "Hi. I see you're in the middle of changing, I should wait outside." Maggie said as she turned to walk away. "Maggie, come on. Is this uncomfortable for you?" Bianca asked as she made eye contact with her, "I can put some clothes on if it helps, but I will be taking them off every single time I try on something new. We've seen each other like this before. Please stay." "Okay, of course I'll stay. I didn't want to just barge in on you if you weren't ready is all. Anyway, let me have a look at what's in your closet here and I'll see what I like." Bianca's face was glowing, as it always did when Maggie was around, "Thank you so much. I just can't be objective and really think everything looks horrible on me, so your a life saver." Maggie smiled back at her and then looked through her very large wardrobe and picked out 5 outfits and came back and sat them on the bed in a row, "Here's my first 5 picks. These will all look great on you. Try them on and let's have a look." With a big smile on her face Bianca picked the first dress, a long flowing red strapless dress that really showed off her figure perfectly and really showed ample cleavage, while still remaining highly elegant at the same time. Bianca pulled it up and over and Maggie zipped it up in the back and she walked over to the mirror, had a look and then turned around and saw how nicely it fit in the back as well and then looked back at Maggie, "Well, what'ya think?" Maggie just gave Bianca a very big smile, "You look beautiful in that dress. I do like red on you. It hugs your curves just right and is sexy and yet not trashy so I love it." "I don't know. Don't you think it's a little to revealing up top here?" Bianca said as she pointed to her breasts. "Have you never heard the saying, "If you've got it, flaunt it", well you've got it Bianca and it's not really even flaunting it. You can't hide your breasts all the time. Let's be honest, you shouldn't have to." Bianca blushed and then turned to face the mirror and still couldn't get over how she looked in the dress, "Maybe your right. Let me try on the others and compare." With that, Bianca grabbed the next outfit, which was a much sexier one, a sparkly blue little dressy halter-top and a very short matching blue and silver skirt. She looked in the mirror and this time was very conscious of her thighs being so exposed, but turned to Maggie for her opinion. Maggie walked in a circle around Bianca and liked what she saw, "Now that is hot. Not sure what look you want for this date but if you wore that you'd sure make an impression." "Maybe I'll save this for another time then. I'm glad you think it's hot though. I'll remember that for sure." Bianca then slipped out of that outfit and grabbed the next one and pulled it on. This time she had on a very tight white dress, skin tight to be exact. It was low-cut, but not as much as the first dress and the dress was down to just above her knees so it was much longer than the other one to. Maggie really seemed to like this one, "OMG, this is the one. It's like this dress was made to be worn by you. Look at yourself in the mirror there. You are such a sex woman. Let me tell you something, white works for you. It does." "God you make me feel so good. It's kind of tight though isn't it? I always thought tight was seen as slutty? Is that wrong?" Bianca asked, truly not sure of how she looked to others. "No, this is not a slutty dress, not even close. It's beautiful, sexy, elegant and it's so perfect on you it's stunning. Makes me wish I were the one you were wearing this for." Maggie said the words before she realized it. "Really? You'd want me to wear this for you?" Bianca said, her voice full of renewed enthusiasm for a brief moment, then trailed off as she continued, "I thought you didn't want to...never mind, I know you were just being nice. Anyway, I don't think I will wear this for tonight. It's just not the right one." Maggie felt bad and yet wasn't sure what to do to make it better, "I did mean it. I think you look so beautiful in that dress. You should wear it for a special occasion." Bianca was already taking the dress off when the phone rang. She grabbed her cell and was surprised to hear Greenlee's voice on the other end, "Hi Bianca. I'm at the hospital. Kendall is here. She's in surgery right now for a knife wound. The nurse said she will be fine, but they have to do some damage control first. I thought you should know and maybe you could tell Erica to." "What, someone stabbed her? Where? How? I'll call mom and we'll be right there." Bianca hung up the phone and began searching for her clothes. Maggie heard the word stabbed and new something bad had happened, "What's going on? Who got stabbed?" "It was Kendall. She's in surgery now. I just have to be there." Maggie was quick to jump in with her support, "Of course. Let me go with you." "Thanks, I really do need you there." Bianca finished dressing and the two girls rushed out the door moments later.
