Chapter 31: 20 questions

Cephera hadn't a chance to greet Kat before she was thrown over the wall with the force of the blonds body. Kat lay slumped on top of Cephera holding her in an awkward fond embrace and both girls now lay on the ground with half their bodies still slanted up the stone.
"Kat?!" Cephera said choking for air. Her friend let her go and righting them both using magic, she no doubt learned from Loki. Kat punched her hard in the shoulder her face turning from happy to a semi glare. Cephera felt confused and rubbed the spot she was struck.
"That's for not telling me. The hug was for a 'Im happy for you.'" Kat's smile returned. Cephera shuffled back to sit pressing to the wall of the palace and looked at her friend.
"He told you!" She finally said. Somehow she felt cheated. He knew she was excited to tell Kat. Why would he do it before she could?
"Yes he told me. He said and I quote... 'I tell you this only because I know she fears you may be angry with her afterward. I have been courting your friend Cephera without your knowledge. It was on my orders she kept it from you. I urge you to get passed your feelings of hurt now before you see her today.'" Kat used her creepy guy voice for Loki making Cephera giggle. "And so I took sometime to think, like ten seconds, and then came rushing here."
"A whole ten seconds huh?" Cephera raised an eyebrow.
"I've decided you owe me. You owe me answers and now that you can freely give them, I expect them." Cephera groaned. This was a game she hated playing. Cephera was a very conservative person when it came to her personal life. And she knew Kat well enough to know she would spare her no discretion where her creative questions would be concerned.
"Just this once." Cephera finally agreed.
"How long?"
"That's difficult to answer." Kat stared her down. "The letter from the mystery guy about my cat. That was him but I didn't know it until later. I hadn't a clue he actually liked me till you heard those rumours about the guy who kissed me at the dance that time." Cephera shrugged. Even then Cephera hadn't been sure if he had been playing with her or actually liked her.
"That long!" Kat looked slightly miffed. "How could I have been so blind!" She smacked herself in the forehead.
"What happened to Lola?" Cephera burst out laughing.
"That was Loki in disguise." She finally managed to say.
"Seriously?!" Kat began to laugh as well. "Do you know how many people think you like girls? Hell I thought you did and...oh my god, that book we researched in the library about sex and blowjobs..." Kat trailed off in a extremely sly manner giving Cephera a look to make shivers run up her spin.
Cephera felt her face turn ten shades of red. It wasn't a question so she didn't reply. She fiddled with her skirt to avoid looking directly at her friend.
"Did you try it out then? Wait how far have you gone? What's he like?" Kat was asking the questions so fast she sounded like an auctioneer.
"One at a time." She interrupted her, holding up a hand.
"Fine. Did you put the book and my advise to good work?" Cephera could only nod. Kat squealed. "Have you fucked him yet?" After a moment of willing her cheeks to stop burning she nodded. "No way!" Kat squealed again. "Was that why he way late?" She probed poking Cephera's red hot cheek. Another nod had Kat on her feet and jumping around.
"Sit down you're going to draw attention from the rooms. This stays between us." Cephera said pulling Kat back down.
"What's he like?" Cephera thought a moment.
"I have nothing to compare him with so I can't accurately answer that." Kat looked mockingly surprised.
"Fair enough. Have you orgasmed?"
"Yes."
"Every time?"
"Mostly. Our first time was last night." Cephera chewed her lip. She felt a little foolish. She also wondered how Loki would feel about her telling Kat this stuff.
"Well he can't be completely bad if he at least can bring you over your limit. Man he seems like such a serious guy I never pictured him a lover. But then it's hard to when all he does is bark orders at you all the time."
"I guess work Loki and my Loki are two very different people." Kat nodded.
"Has he told you he loves you." Cephera rolled her eyes. "You're right, he totally doesn't seem the sappy type to say that." Kat pressed a finger to her lips. "When he kisses you, does he touch your face or your hair?"
"Yes. When he's not grabbing a handful and pulling." Cephera shut her mouth fast. She said way more then she meant to.
"Ohhhh really. A little wild then? But seriously if he caresses you like that I think he loves you." Cephera couldn't stop the smile that spread across her face.
"Are you ladies finished. I'd like to have my turn." Loki's voice made them both jump to their feet. He was leaning on his elbow on top of the wall, his face wearing an expression that looked amused.
"No I am not done." Kat said defiantly. Loki stood straight and gave a very thin smirk toward Kat.
"For today you are." He held a hand out toward Cephera. Instead of taking it she walked around to the same side of the wall as him and allowed him to press a hand to her back to usher her along. He stopped a moment to look back at Kat. "Maybe tomorrow she'll tell you about the time I doubled myself." Cephera choked on her intake of air.

I hope everyone is having a good Christmas Eve!
