One Love:

Last Time:

"Shut up and toast with me," She mumbled grudgingly as she held her glass up between the two, " To the best, worst and sexiest trio in the world, us! Excluding Kai because he's dating a bitch."

With that the three threw back their drinks and proceeded to the next set of shots, Kai and Tala's kiss still secret and the craving for more still brewing between them just waiting for the right time to boil over.

Chapter 16:

Double Edged

The costal winds whipped her pink bangs in a whirl in front of her yellow eyes making it difficult to navigate the city's slowly emptying streets as she made her way home from the local college campus. The setting sun cast golden rays of light that danced delicately with the dark shadows from the row of tall palm trees that lined the sidewalk, almost as if they were moving to a silent tune.

Ginn had just gotten out of her last class for the week and was ready to throw herself onto a pile of unorganized clothes, smoke a few joints and just enjoy the rest of her weekend. However she knew fate had other plans in mind such as homework, reading and somehow figuring out her current standings with Kai and Tala.

She turned her head upwards to the sky, taking in the brilliantly colored clouds drifting slowly in the breeze above her and sighed as she reflected on the events of her first week of college.

It seemed destiny had a sense of humor this semester with Kai not only as her new hot neighbor, and arch nemesis's new "boyfriend," but as her best friend's next potential sexual conquest too.

Of course Kai wasn't the only issue in her life, there was the matter of what had happened between her and Tala the other night and of course her current ex boyfriend, Kyle, who she hadn't spoken to all week. Tala wasn't as big of an issue, she knew they would be fine, but she wasn't sure exactly how Kai fit into the situation, and Kyle was a whole other story.

Ginn wasn't even sure she wanted to try and fix things with him. The two had never had to have a long distance relationship before Kyle went away to college in a larger city in the east that was more fueled towards his career goals of becoming a big shot lawyer one day.

She had to admit, she really didn't even think about him anymore since they last talked and ended their rocky relationship. Granted that she wasn't exactly sure if they were really broken up or not, but with both Kai and Tala in the mix, she found she didn't actually care anymore.

" I wish I would have thought to roll a joint before class this morning, all this thinkin' is giving me a shitty feeling. No bueno." She sighed to herself kicking her shoe at a tiny rock as she walked.

She turned the corner sharply and cut quickly through a few yards of browning grass baked by the heat of the summer sun and into the tiny paved parking lot of her apartment building. Her golden eyes stole a quick glance at Kai's shinny black car; she caught herself pondering on what he was currently doing alone in his own apartment right now.

A light blush found its way onto her cheeks as she imagined him walking around his apartment in his boxers, with his muscles rippling slightly beneath his skin as he moved, a light shine to his skin from the humidity of the sun and sea that hung heavy in the air, his lips wet and…

She was just able to catch herself on the wooden railing as she tripped on the final stair to her and Kai's floor. She laughed slightly to herself at her own clumsiness and was about to pull out her house keys from her bag when she heard the voices…

"So, I take it you've never done that with a man before?" The voice was definitely coming from inside HER apartment and was definitely male and almost sounded like Tala.

'Fuckin' great Tala, bring some bitch to MY house to fuck them, not cool.' The pink haired girl mumbled as she quickly snatched her keys from her bag and quickly opened the lock.

"Fuck you. Smoke." That was definitely a Russian accent, which meant that Kai was the other voice in the room, which mean something had to be going on between the two guys. She couldn't help but feel a tiny spark of rage at what was going on in her own home.

"So you will suck my dick then?... Eh, I can wait. Here Blue Babes." And there was Tala's husky tone again, apparently nothing too terrible was happing, Ginn took it as a sign that it was ok to interrupt the pair.

"What the fuck! No dick suckin' in MY house when I'm not even here! You pair of… DICKS!" Ginn yelled in jest as she burst through her apartment door, she couldn't think of another way to come in without making it seem like she was actually upset with the two. Which she was, she would get over it, but for now she just needed weed.

Ginn couldn't help but noticed both of them stood up nervously in unison when she walked in the room; she wondered just exactly what she had missed.

"Hey your home! Come sit, enjoy getting high with your best friends, who are NOT sucking dicks in your home without you." Kai's normally perfect posture seemed somewhat strange, it seemed what ever Tala had done had put Kai out of his comfort zone.

The tension in the room seemed to be building between them, just waiting to be burst. She felt her earlier temper flare fading as she looked at the two guys before her, her twisted little family, she couldn't help but like them.

"You guys aren't supposed to hang out here, go to Kai's… and what's wrong? Ya'll are both acting super weird. Stop it." She whined to them hoping that what little girlish charms she possessed would help alleviate the situation a little.

"Stop asking questions, accept that we hang out in your place without you and grab us some shot glasses on your way over here because we have a gift for you." Tala voice demanded as he and Kai found their positions back on the sofa, Kai leaving a notable gap between them.

The pink haired girl chuckled a bit as she turned to grab the shot glasses from the kitchen counter behind her, throwing the two the middle finger as she did. Just as suddenly as the choking negative feelings in the room started, she could sense them fading fast into the natural flow of friendship the three normal felt.

"Get me wasted boys. Let's do things we wont remember on Sunday! Just kidding, I have to finish a paper Sunday so Saturday then well sober up and do our homework!" Ginn laughed as she plopped herself down between her two friends and dropped the glasses in Tala 's lap, throwing her arms across their shoulders.

"Idiot, here." Kai said, Ginn felt his shoulder become less tense under the weight of her arms. He handed her the little glass pipe he and Tala had been smoking when she came in as Tala gave both her and Kai a shot glass full with liquor.

Everything was going to be okay with them, Ginn could just feel it. All that was left now was to get rid of Kai's stupid blonde bitch problem, even though Tala was against it, and her life would be close to perfect.

"Shut up and toast with me, to the best, worst and sexiest trio in the world, us! Excluding Kai because he's dating a bitch." She knew it would piss off Kai, but she enjoyed it when he was in a grumpy mood, it was always fun to fight with him… at least when she had the upper hand.

Ginn heard Tala's deep chuckle at the look of death Kai shot at her as they threw their shots back in unison, she couldn't help but notice the look of what seemed to be pleading that Kai gave Tala as he went to pour the second set of shots.

She knew there was something that went on with the redhead and the Russian that she wasn't supposed to know about, and naturally, she was more than dying to find out exactly what it was. She wondered if she could get the two drunk enough, if one of them would maybe spill the situation… with some "convincing" of course.
