Chapter 2- Wanna go make out somewhere?

That country girl has witched your wishes,
all dressed up in her country clothes
and she hasn't got the sense
to hitch her rags above her ankles. -Sappho

Marissa and Alex had been drinking and talking for a few hours. Actually, Marissa had done most of the drinking. Alex had just sipped a little wine.

By now, Marissa was rather drunk. "You know what?" she asked as she sat down next to Alex and put an arm around the blonde girl. "I think you're pretty…pretty. And hot. And you have the most amazing eyes I have ever seen." She smirked a little. "Wanna go make out somewhere?"

Alex smiled. "Oh, yeah. Everyone just wants me." She smirked and stood up, bringing Marissa up with her. "I should take you home." As she looked at Marissa, she noticed that the smaller girl had passed out. She put Marissa onto the bench for a moment, but then picked her up. "Come on, then" she mumbled as she walked out of the tavern.

In about 15 minutes, Alex arrived at her house. She quickly walked to her room and put Marissa onto her bed. She sat down next to the other girl and smiled a little as she moved some hair from Marissa's face.

"Damn! You are amazing. You've been back here for less than 24 hours, and already you have girl in your bed," Jodie said. She smirked a little and hugged Alex. "Hey, whore."

"I'm not a whore," Alex said, hugging Jodie back. She let go of the other girl. "She's drunk. And unlike you, I don't take advantage of drunk girls. Besides, you're the one who has had 3 husbands. Plus, the number of your mistresses is bigger than the army." She crossed her arms.

"Hey! I've gotten rid of all of my husbands nice and clean. No one even suspected that I had nothing to do with their death. Besides, it's not my fault that I'm so damn hot. No one can just resist me," Jodie answered as she and Alex walked out of the room. "And that was just once. Are you going to rub it in for my whole life?"

Alex made a face. "Duh! Of course," she said.

"Aunt Jodie," a small girl yelled as she ran to Jodie and hugged her leg. She looked about 5 years old and had dark brown hair and deep blue eyes.

Jodie picked the girl up. "Hey, Lydia. Let's go and steal some cookies from Kirsten," she said and smiled. "And let's leave your mother to make out with a new girl."

"One, how come my daughters never get that excited when they see me. And two, I'm not going to make out with Marissa. She's asleep. And drunk," Alex said, frowning lightly.

"Yeah, riiiight. Who are you trying to fool, mother?" Lydia said to Alex, rolling her eyes. "I learned a poem by Sappho today. Want to hear it?" She turned back to Jodie with a smile.

"Stop corrupting my daughter, Jodie!" Alex called. She sighed a little and walked back to her room.

"Me and Lydia are here to steal cookies and maybe some other goods with a lot of sugar in them," Jodie said as they walked into the kitchen.

Kirsten was just reading some scrolls at the table. "Here. Freshly baked and warm," she said, handing Jodie the plate. "Just don't tell Alex or the other girls I gave them to you." She smiled a little.

Jodie walked outside, put Lydia onto a bench, and sat down next to her. "High five," she said with a smirk as the smaller girl high fived her. "Now, let's get high on sugar."

Lydia giggled as Jodie started to stuff her mouth with the cookies. Jodie was totally her idol.

"Morning, Sunshine," Alex said with a smirk as she noticed that Marissa is up. She smirked a little and sat down onto her bed.

"Please, have mercy and kill me. My head is about to explode," Marissa said and put a pillow onto her head. Suddenly her eyes widened and she peeked out. "We didn't…"

Alex shook her head. "No. You passed out at the tavern and I carried you here, since I have no idea where you live." She smirked a little. "You've done something stupid while drunk, huh? Who did you screw?"

Marissa threw the pillow at Alex. "My head is killing me. And so are my mother and father if I don't get home soon. I was supposed to go home right after visiting the temple." She sat up. "Did I do or say anything stupid?" She had a habit of picking fights and kissing strangers when she was drunk. And causing a lot of drama. Can't forget that.

Alex smirked. "Well, I don't know if it was stupid...But you did say that I'm pretty pretty, hot and have the most amazing eyes. And then you asked if I wanted to make out. Right after that, you passed out."

"Could you please give me the pillow back?" Marissa asked as she lay back down onto her bed. She cursed herself for drinking last night.

"Well, if it's any comfort, I think you're pretty hot too," Alex said and stood up. "Want me to walk you to your house?" She wanted to see Marissa again; there was something about this girl she liked.

Marissa shook her head. "Nah, that's okay. I just really hope that no one has noticed that I'm missing." She stood up. "Or, hey, you can kill me now. Before my head explodes."

"Come drink something downstairs, then you can go," Alex said. "Non-alcoholic," she added as Marissa made a face.

"Okay, that sounds good," Marissa said with a smile.

Marissa walked through the huge doors of her castle. She froze as she saw her mother' very angry face. "Um…Hello, mother."

"Look at yourself! Your hair is a mess, you're wearing the same clothes you wore yesterday. And let's not even talk about your face," Julie said, tapping her foot a little. "Do you know how worried I was? Where have you been? I swear, one of these days you're going to pick up some nasty disease from a prostitute and die." She took a deep breath to calm herself. Marissa was driving her crazy.

Marissa looked at her mother. It always amazed her how Julie could say so many insults in one breath. "I went to the tavern with a friend and passed out. She took me to her house and I slept there," she answered. "I'll go and have a bath and let some slaves dress me and make my face. Does Caleb want to see me?" She crossed her arms. She knew very well that Caleb wasn't her real father.

Julie sighed. Her daughter was impossible. "Just go and make yourself look good." She gave Marissa a last look – more like a glare- before walking off.

Marissa sighed a little and headed to the garden. She stripped and got inside the bathtub. She closed her eyes and tried to ignore her head and thought about the man she was going to be marrying. But after a few seconds of thinking about him, she frowned a little and her head seemed to get worse. As she tried to clear her head of all thoughts, thoughts of Alex entered her head and a smile appeared on her face. She really liked the blonde girl.

Alex shooed her slaves away, after they had finished doing her hair. She stood up and picked up a black cat and started to pet it. She sighed a little, as she started to think about Marissa.

"Hey, slut," Jodie said as she walked into Alex's room. She was carrying Lydia and eating a cookie. "So, how was she?"

"Jodie, what are you doing here?" Alex asked. The cat jumped off her lap and Alex crossed her arms. She loved Jodie, but the girl was a worse slut than she was. And that was something.

"Corrupting Lydia, of course," Jodie answered with a smirk. "I've already told her how two girls have sex, how a guy and a girl have sex, what's a vagina and penis and what a sexy lap dance is like."

Alex stared at her best friend, her mouth wide open. She could not believe that Jodie would talk about something like that to her five-year-old daughter. She wasn't such a great mother, –she just usually let her slaves take care of her daughters- but she still cared about them. And five-year-olds didn't need to know about sex.

Jodie started to laugh. "Oh Goddess, you should see your face. I didn't tell her about all of those things. I didn't tell her how guys and girls have sex. That's just boring. Besides, I saved you from the talk. You should be thankful."

"She's five, Jodie!" Alex yelled.

Jodie shrugged. "And your brother, the evil one, is a total dick. He made a rude remark about me being a whore when I was talking to Lydia earlier. He so shouldn't use words like that near Lydia."

"What's a dick?" Lydia asked Jodie.

"Penis," Jodie answered.

"You shouldn't teach her things like that," a voice came from the door. It was Ryan. He was wearing a big smile on his face. He had missed Alex a lot. "Come here," he added.

Alex ran to Ryan and hugged her tightly. "I missed you so much," she whispered. She put her head against Ryan's upper chest and closed her eyes.

Ryan kissed Alex onto her head, while wrapping his arms around Alex. "Missed you too, sis," he whispered with a smile. Alex was his favorite sibling and he had always gotten along with her the best. They used to play together all the time, when they were younger. And until Alex moved to Egypt, they were inseparable.

"Excuse us while we go and gag," Jodie said and stood up. She headed to the door.

"Yeah, excuse us while we go gag," Lydia said as she and Jodie walked out. "You know what, I don't think I'll ever do the whole relationship slash falling in love thing. I'll just get some and then get gone," she told Jodie.

Jodie smirked and pretended to wipe a tear from her eye. "My little girl's all grown up. I have thought you so well."

"Are Anna and Seth coming here?" Alex asked as she looked at Ryan. She pulled away from him a little.

"I'm taking you to Anna's house. Seth will be there, too," Ryan said. She picked up Alex and ran downstairs. "I'm kidnapping Alex, mom," he called out.

"That's nice, honey," Kirsten called out, dully.
