Chapter Three

--------

The sun beat down on Tawnie's golden blonde hair as she groaned lightly and pulled the sheets over her head. Next to her, she felt Jesse move and it startled her. She sat up, pulling the sheets back, she examined him. He lay there in his boxers, and she realized she was in her underwear. Her palm flew to her forehead as she scrambled out of bed. "Fuck." She said in a hushed voice as she pulled on her robe. She couldn't remember anything but laying on the floor taking shots with him, but had it gone farther?

"Tawnie?" His hoarse voice said questioningly.

"Yeah?" She sat on the trunk at the end of her bed, staring at her feet.

"What the hell happened last night?" He stood up and stumbled a little.

"I don't know..Jess..you don't think we..did it, do you?" Tawnie was trying to wrack her clouded brain, but she only resulted in a headache.

"Oh god no…" He looked down at his boxers, his eyes wide for a minute. "We would have remembered it.I think." He laughed and sat next to her. "Don't worry, I highly doubt it." He stared into her eyes, trying to reassure her, even though he couldn't remember any more than she could. There was a long awkward pause, and Tawnie stood up, her slippers squishing under her body weight. Jesse looked her over and walked up to her, sliding his hand down her back, the soft terry cloth material running over his skin, he put his finger under her chin, and lifted her face to him. "I think I'm falling for you." He moved in, his lips meeting hers, and his tongue brushing her teeth, begging for entrance. Tawnie pulled away and her hand flew to her mouth as she sat down on the corner of her bed.

"Jesse..no..I…I can't." She closed her eyes. Jesse stared at the ground, a little hurt. He moved closer to her and knelt down to meet her face.

"Look, I know we've been the best of friends..but Tawnie." He took her hand in his. "I wanna be more then that." She stood up, pulling her hand away, she stared at him, and pointed at the door. Jesse's heart fell, hard. He stood up and grabbed his pants, shoving them on over his boxers. He put his shoes on and walked out the door with his shirt half on, half off. He was pissed, hurt, and ready to cry. As he stumbled into the harsh sun light, he walked slowly through the slippery grass with his hands shoved in his pockets. He was headed towards Gregory, his face red and his eyes burning.

Whitney moaned slightly, and sat up. Her hand flew to her forehead as the sunlight hit her face. She was lying in a bed she didn't know, with a lump of flesh next to her that she couldn't identify, his head was under the sheets. Then it came to her, Landon had been about to have sex with her defenseless drunken self, when she had thrown up..and she knew Landon had been pissed. She was fully dressed, so she merely walked out the door, and down the hallway. "Hey, you dropped this." The voice came from behind her. As she turned she noticed her pink cell phone with fake jewels encrusted in it gleaming in a boy's hand. She took it silently from him. "I'm Rick..most people call me Ricky though." He gave her a big smile, and she noticed dimples on the sides of his mouth.

"Whitney." She returned the smile as Landon walked out of his room, his hair ruffled and his chest shirtless. Whitney turned abruptly around and rushed down the stairs to the front door. She had been embarrassed enough for that relationship.

(Warning, some sexual content!!!!)

Lani felt his hands running over her shoulders, down her back, and to her hips. Soon Chris slid his hands under her shirt, lifting it off her body. She quivered a little bit as he continued removing her clothing, and he removed his. The messing around began, and when he grabbed the condom, she shook. "What sweetie?" Chris stopped for a minute, and looked at her.

"I'm just..scared." Lani took a deep breath. "But I'm ready."

"I'll be gentle, I promise." Chris gave her a smile and kissed her. Unwrapping the condom, things began. Very slow at first, as Lani was nearly crying and she had even yelped. It went on for an hour or so and soon they were lying down, Chris's arms around Lani, satisfaction and sleepiness surrounding them. "I love you more then life itself Lani." He spoke in a raspy voice, and kissed her forehead.

Bridget smiled as a light breeze tickled her nose. She was wrapped in Frankie's arms, and warm with sunlight. He opened his eyes and smiled, muttering a tired "Good morning" and sitting up.

"I can't believe we slept out here." She grinned a little, looking at the small pile of leaves in the center of the gazebo.

"We should be getting back.." He took her hand and caressed it. "I'll see you later." With that he kissed her lightly and stood up, stretching before he headed towards Gregory. Bridget walked towards Hamilton, her arms wrapped around herself. When she reached her dorm room she noticed Tawnie's figure rolled up in bed. She smiled and muttered a small hello before hopping into the shower, her mind racing around Frankie. He made her weak at the knees
