When the couple had reached the bathroom, Malibu locked the door behind them and asked Jaden if she needed help getting out of her clothes. When Jaden had nodded her consent, Malibu took her time stripping her off, not wanting to cause her any more accidental pain. However, once Jaden was naked, Malibu gasped when she saw all the bruises all over Jaden's body.
"Suicidal, remember?" Jaden murmured before Malibu could even ask about the nature of the bruises. She wondered how far that excuse could actually get her. Without another word, she gingerly stepped into the shower, turning it on whilst Malibu just stood there in shock, not knowing what to say to comfort the mage. The sound of Jaden hissing in pain from the hot water cascading down onto her bruises caused Malibu to compose herself. She hastily took off her clothes and joined Jaden in the shower, taking her body in her arms as Malibu's head rested on Jaden's shoulder.
The pair stood like that for a while, just being in each other's arms, rocking on the spot back and forth as they let the warm water cascade down their bodies. Malibu cradled Jaden into the safety of her chest, attempting to protect her from the harsh beating of the water droplets assaulting her tender, bruised back. How could she let herself get this bad? Doesn't she have any care for herself at all?
Malibu couldn't help but think that perhaps this was all her fault. She had been so focused on the move into the Dreamhouse and settling herself into Dreamlight Valley that she had been too busy to really spend any time with Jaden. They did have a really nice date on the beach not that long back and now Malibu was desperately trying to remember whether or not Jaden had left any sort of clue that may have resulted in a cry for help. She didn't know what was worse; seeing that Jaden did need help but ignoring it, or being so blind that she couldn't see it. The scenario was enough to make Malibu suddenly burst into tears. She let out a choked sob, burying her head into Jaden's breasts as her hold on the mage tightened.
Caught completely by surprise, Jaden ran a hand down Malibu's back in a gesture of comfort. She didn't quite know what to say to make Malibu feel better. She knew the sight of her bruises must have come on as quite a shock. Perhaps she should have warned the blonde woman before presenting herself in such a horrible state, she wasn't thinking that it would have such an effect on poor Malibu. She wasn't used to people caring about her physical or mental wellbeing, hence why it didn't cross her mind. "I'm sorry, I should have warned you." Jaden whispered, her voice starting to shake with guilt.
"How could you do this to yourself? What happened?" Malibu sobbed, crying her little heart out.
It took all of Jaden's willpower to not scream out to the heavens that it wasn't her or who did it, that instead it was that bastard Malibu called a best friend called Ken who was the cause of all this. But she couldn't tell Malibu that. Jaden couldn't risk Malibu's safety, not after everything she had been through to keep her safe. She knew without a shadow of a doubt that if Malibu ever found out the true intentions behind her childhood friend, not only would it completely break her in both spirit and an emotional sense, Jaden knew that Malibu would try to confront Ken about it, who would no doubt attempt to keep her quiet about it in any means possible.
So instead, Jaden just shrugged her shoulders at Malibu's question, refusing to go into any detail in fear of upsetting Malibu more.
After a short while, Malibu appeared to have calmed down somewhat. Her cries had turned into small sniffles and the tightness of her hug was starting to slacken as she gathered her emotions together. She lifted her head up, staring into Jaden's deep green eyes before dipping her head low to give Jaden a small, loving kiss. The gesture was returned, with Jaden giving her lips a quick peck. The kiss didn't last very long, the couple only lingered for a couple of seconds before they both pulled away. Malibu's spirits lifted when she saw the beginnings of a smile grace Jaden's lips. If she couldn't stop Jaden from hurting herself, then at least she could give her a brief moment of happiness. Malibu was determined on that front.
Breathing a sigh of mental exhaustion, Malibu reached an arm out for a bottle of shampoo. "Here, let me help you wash." She offered the mage, who accepted the offer with a silent nod of her head. Malibu instructed Jaden to turn around and when the mage did so, began to scrub her fingers through Jaden's once beautiful, long dirty blonde hair, that was now filthy, mattered and uncared for. When she saw that the act was causing Jaden slight discomfort, Malibu slowed her movements, working her way through the knots until she was satisfied Jaden's hair was completely covered in the shampoo. As Jaden moved her head under the harsh pellets of water, Malibu grabbed some body wash, squirting a decent amount into her hand. Rubbing both her palms together she started to coat Jaden's body with the soapy suds. But as Malibu starts to scrub Jaden's body, she stops suddenly when she hears Jaden groaning in pain and the applied pressure to her bruises. Guiltily, Malibu quickly pulled her hand away.
Jaden reaches out an arm to grab Malibu's hand back, pain and regret present in her features. "No, it's okay. Just be gentle." Jaden groaned out, struggling to keep the agony out of her voice. If it wasn't for Malibu's hold on her, she'd probably wouldn't still be standing right now.
Nodding her head slowly, Malibu resumed her task on washing Jaden, being very mindful of washing over any bruises that might cause Jaden any more discomfort. Everything was all innocent enough until Malibu's hand traced down to Jaden's cunt. Malibu didn't think the act of cleaning someone else's private parts as a sexual act, ultimately, it needed to be cleaned at the end of the day. However, Jaden obviously didn't seem to share the same views. Malibu felt Jaden twist in her arms as the mage positioned herself behind Malibu, pushing her into the wall. The sweet sensation of Jaden's lips connecting with her own was enough to stir something inside of Malibu, something that caused her vagina to ache with the need for contact and the rousing of butterflies to flutter in her stomach. If it wasn't for the fact that Jaden was clearly injured, Malibu might have been tempted to take Jaden right here in this shower. She wanted Jaden, plain and simple. Ever since their shared night together back at the mage's house a month ago, Malibu had been longing for her touch, her dirty talk and most importantly, her love.
Just as she was about to give in to Jaden's fiery desire, the light, almost ticklish touch of the mage's finger brushing down her stomach leading towards her cunt snapped Malibu out of her sex-crazed brain. Not even giving Jaden the chance to slip her finger inside Malibu's folds, the blonde woman grasped Jaden's finger, pulling it away from her private parts. "I already told you Jay, I'm not having sex with you in this condition. I wouldn't be able to handle the guilt if I had accidentally hurt you." Malibu's words were firm, but her voice held a softness to it, hoping this approach would help Jaden see some sort of sense.
Jaden, for all her credit, knew that she was beaten and didn't try to push the issue further. She gave Malibu a hearty chuckle, her accompanying smile stealing Malibu's heart all over again. "Can't blame me for trying. You're just so irresistible."
Malibu was ready to come at Jaden with her own witty comment when her eyes strayed over to a strange looking bruise on the right side of Jaden's neck. From a quick glance it really didn't seem all that unusual compared to all of the other bruises upon Jaden's body, only Malibu knew from experience that this one was different. From the awkwardly positioning place that would be hard to inflict on yourself to the small cluster of similar looking smaller marks surrounding the bigger bruise, Malibu knew at that moment that what she was gazing at was indeed a love bite.
A love bite that definitely wasn't there the night before.
Seeing the narrowed, confused look on Malibu's face, Jaden tilted her head so that their eyes were once again levelled with each other's. "Hey, what's the matter? You're staring off into space there." When Malibu didn't immediately answer, Jaden snapped her fingers in front of Malibu's eyes, forcing her back into focus with Jaden's green gaze.
"Hmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine. It's just there's a…bruise on your neck that wasn't there last night." Malibu avoided saying the word 'love bite' outright, almost as if she was trying to convince herself that it wasn't what it seemed. Did Jaden have a secret lover that Malibu wasn't aware of? And if so, why hadn't she told Malibu? Did Jaden not trust her enough to keep it a secret, or was she trying to hide them from Malibu? It's not like I can exactly complain. It's not like I've been completely honest with Jaden either. Maybe it's time I finally told her about the others. She doesn't seem like the judgy type. If Malibu was being completely honest with herself, she had wanted to tell Jaden sooner, but with the pair being so busy over the past month, she hadn't had the chance to even think about what she was going to say to Jaden. Well, maybe it was time to change that.
Bringing herself back to the subject, Malibu used her index finger to lightly caress the bruise on Jaden's neck. "How did you manage to do that? That isn't exactly an easy spot to harm yourself on."
With her heart rate spiking to dangerous degrees, Jaden twisted her head round to try and identify the mark in question. She couldn't really get a good look at it due to its odd angle, so instead she brought a hand up, using her fingers to stroke the spot in question. She winced at the soreness of it as she put a bit of pressure onto it. She didn't remember Ken ever beating her up on her neck, but then again, she didn't exactly remember him coming into her house last night either.
Wait. Jaden felt her heart thundering in her ears, the sound so loud that she was surprised Malibu couldn't hear it. Could it be possible that Ken did something to me whilst I was asleep? The thought was so sickening that Jaden pushed it from her mind, not wanting to believe it. No. He's crazy possessive, but he's not that crazy, right?
Shaking her head as if to clear it, she mentally scrambled to come up with some sort of excuse to Malibu, not wanting the blonde woman to dwell further on any theories that may have popped up into her mind. "Oh, that! No wonder my neck hurts so bad, I tripped over getting out of bed this morning and fell down quite hard. I didn't realise the bruise had surfaced so quickly." It was a weak excuse even to her own ears, but it was the best she could currently come up with. She just hoped that it would be enough to evade any additional questions.
Malibu didn't exactly give the impression that she was convinced, though she didn't press the matter any further. Satisfied for now with the answer, Malibu nodded her head, pulling away from Jaden to help wash away any remaining soap suds that clung to her skin.
The mage cupped both of her hands together, her gaze directed at the bottle of shampoo left on the floor. "Can I return the favour and wash you?" Jaden asked tentatively.
When Malibu appeared to look unsure, Jaden pressed on. "Please, it's something I want to do." She insisted, her voice and eyes pleading.
Eventually Malibu nodded, picking up the shampoo bottle and squirting a bit of the liquid into her outstretched hands. Malibu turned around, throwing her head back over her shoulder to give Jaden a wide, teasing grin. "Just remember Jaden, sex is still off the table."
Jaden chuckled good naturedly, kissing Malibu's shoulder before giving it a playful nip. "Damn it, it's almost like you read my mind there."
After the two had showered, Malibu led Jaden to the one of many spare bedrooms on the top landing. This floor with its brightly pink carpet and decorated white walls with a nice floral patterned wallpaper was home to five other bedrooms. Malibu opened the bedroom door closest to hers and Brooklyn's, letting Jaden slip past her into the room, taking in her surroundings as Malibu leant against the wall.
Jaden briefly remembered this room being decorated by Skipper and Stacie, though the two women were being very secretive about it. They never told her what exactly they were doing nor who this room was being made for. Jaden didn't really take much notice at the time, but now she was starting to realise that maybe she should have.
"As I've said before, you're welcome here anytime." Malibu said, catching Jaden's attention. The mage turned to the blonde woman who held out her hand, a key in her palm.
Taking the key from Malibu, Jaden inspected it closely, noticing that it had her name engraved at the end of it. She was mentally knocked off balance at the sweet gesture. She couldn't believe what Malibu was suggesting here.
"This room is now yours. I had Stacie and Skipper make up this room for you. If you don't like what they've done, you can decorate it to what you like. I'm not expecting it to stay this organised, but it's yours, you can do whatever you like here. However, the no smoking rule still applies." Malibu finished with a somewhat stern but cute tone, almost as if she could read Jaden's mind.
Jaden took another glance around the room before sadly shaking her head, suddenly feeling like shit. She gave they key back to Malibu, her expression disappointed and miserable. She couldn't accept this offer, not whilst she was still under Ken's thumb. He'd go ballistic if he found out Jaden was offered a room and he wasn't.
Malibu however, wasn't taking no for an answer. "Keep it, Jay. Just in case you change your mind." She said hopefully, giving Jaden a kiss on the cheek. "Besides, you might need a place to sleep when you're too tired to walk back to your house." The blonde woman felt as if something wasn't right here, though she didn't dare to say anything. It was almost like she wanted to say yes but something was pulling her back. Only what exactly, Malibu didn't know.
The mage's voice broke Malibu from her thoughts. "What, I can't just sleep in your bed with you and Brooklyn?" Jaden half joked, yet curious at the answer.
Malibu shrugged. "I mean, you can if you want. I figured you might want your own space, we all do in the end. After all," Malibu heaved a small sigh, preparing herself for what she was about to say next. This was it, it was time for Jaden to know the big secret. This was either about to be the start of another new beautiful relationship or the end to something that just barely started. "Brooklyn isn't my only girlfriend." She said it calmly and confidently, as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Jaden raised an eyebrow in interest. "Oh? And how many girlfriends do you have that I have yet to meet?"
Her voice doesn't sound judgemental, only curiosity. That's a good sign. Malibu let out the breath she hadn't realised she was holding and smiled innocently at Jaden. "There's quite a lot. Why do you think there's so many bedrooms?"
So that's why she wanted a big house. Jaden inwardly concluded. Can't say I'm surprised, it's not like she was being too discreet about it. She had to really give it to Malibu, that mustn't have been easy to admit. Non-monogamous relationships weren't exactly considered the norm for society, especially if you were a woman. If anything it would only give onlookers the excuse to label you as a slut.
"I didn't really think too much of it, honestly," Jaden began, wanting to ensure Malibu that she wasn't about to judge her on the matter. "I wasn't going to question you about it. You could have asked anything of me and I wouldn't have questioned it." Finishing her peace, Jaden placed the key into her pocket, taking her advice on keeping it for now. What Malibu didn't know was that she had just given Jaden a safe haven away from Ken.
Malibu took Jaden's hand, relief swamping her like a comforting mist. Jaden had accepted her, now she didn't need to tiptoe around the subject anymore. She can finally be herself around this woman and that to her was better than any form of Heaven in her mind. Turning her attention back to Jaden, she squeezed the mage's hand. "I suspect you must be starving and I'm sure dinner is almost ready."
Knowing Jaden would try and argue, Malibu led Jaden downstairs into the kitchen, sitting her down on a barstool chair. Malibu was correct in thinking dinner was indeed ready, the delicious aroma filling the kitchen area as she closed her eyes and savoured the smell.
Brooklyn was over by the oven dishing up the plates with Skipper's help. Brooklyn smiled at the arriving pain as she handed them both a plate, nodding at Jaden in a gesture of greetings.
Both Malibu and Jaden thanked her as Malibu led Jaden into the spacious dining room. As the pair stepped inside, numerous heads turned towards their entrance. Jaden was so shocked at just how many women were present here that she had to blink several times to confirm that she wasn't imagining more people than there actually were. There's got to be at least more than thirty people here! They can't possibly be all of Malibu's girlfriends…
But judging from Malibu's wide grin at Jaden's bewildered expression, this only confirmed Jaden's doubts.
Wow, okay. This is going to get some getting used to.
A high pitched masculine voice cut into Jaden's thoughts. "So, you're the famous leader that Malibu and Brooklyn keeps talking about, huh?" The only man in the group called out.
Jaden huffed out what would be considered a laugh, turning her head back towards Malibu. "You and Brooklyn talk about me, huh?" Jaden quizzed Malibu, wondering what sort of things the pair had told the others.
Malibu gave a small chuckle. "Only good things." She reassured Jaden, kissing her on the cheek. "Oh, and you better eat all of that or I'll tie you to the chair and make you eat it." Her eyes drifted down to Jaden's full plate of food, consisting of roasted beef, mashed potatoes, gravy and cooked veg. Even when she was trying to sound stern, Malibu still seemed to make a threat turn into a playful remark.
Jaden raised a brow." While I love the idea of being tied up, not so much on the being forced to eat part."
Malibu rolled her eyes and playfully shoved Jaden towards the table, giving her ass a cheeky slap, an act that was so normalised in this sort of environment, everyone giggled at the gesture.
At this dinner table, everyone was on the same wave length, sex was discussed quite proudly in various degrees, it was a space where everybody was free of embarrassment and nobody felt ashamed of anything. It was a place Jaden immediately felt comfortable in, felt that she was truly in a place where she belonged.
Her eyes darted around the table, deciding on a place to sit. There were so many possibilities that suddenly she felt overwhelmed.
Then she heard a voice, almost as if the woman in question could hear her thoughts.
"Oh! Jaden isn't it? Come and sit over here!" A blacked haired woman wearing a purple jumper waved and called Jaden over with a huge grin on her face.
Jaden complies, taking a seat in the middle between the black haired woman and another woman with hot pink hair. The mage felt a little awkward towards the situation, but remained friendly. These women obviously meant a whole lot to Malibu and Jaden didn't want the poor blonde to get a complex. By the looks of things, Malibu had already suffered being the victim of judgmental stares and possible harassment just because she had enough love in her heart for more than one partner.
"Yeah, I'm Jaden, and who are you?" Jaden asked in a welcoming manner, wanting to appear approachable and sociable.
"I'm Renee! Though, I'm not the only Renee here, it's all a little confusing, isn't that right Daisy?" Renee addressed the pink haired woman sat on the right side of Jaden, who nodded her head in agreement.
"That's right, Renee. It doesn't help that I went to school and was best friends with Renee Chao, who's sitting over there by the way." Daisy pointed over to the far end of the table to an Asian woman with brown hair and wearing a grey beanie. She gave Jaden an energetic wave, to which Jaden nervously waved back.
Daisy continued on. "The best way to remember them is that this Renee likes pizza." Daisy ended her statement with a chuckle, her eyes drifting down to Renee's plate, which consisted of several slices of pepperoni pizza.
Jaden followed Daisy's gaze, the mage's eyes lighting up with mischief. "Oh, so you're that Renee. Malibu tried to blame you yesterday for eating all the pizza."
Renee's eyes widened to their utmost, a small gasp escaping her mouth. "You guys had pizza and you didn't tell me!?" She practically shrieked with mock outrage across the table, causing everyone around the table to look in their direction. If the situation wasn't so funny, Jaden might have been embarrassed on her own behalf for bringing up the subject.
Daisy was the one to break the awkward silence that followed. "Renee, you have pizza every day."
This caused a rupture of laughter to break out all across the table. The moment seemed so comical it was almost like something from a sitcom. This was obviously such a regular occurrence that it had turned into some sort of inside joke that made Jaden feel left out and kind of lost, not really understanding the situation at all.
But amongst all of the girly, contained giggling was one source of laughter that stuck out to Jaden, one that was loud, boisterous and even though squeaky like all the others in the room, it still had a deep, masculine sound to it.
Once all of the laughter had died down, Jaden turned to Renee, her voice dropping to a low murmur so as not to offend the person she was about to question. "So, whose the only bloke then? He kind of sticks out like a sore thumb amongst all these women."
Her sentence had only just finished when the man rose up from his seat, the chair legs scraping loudly across the floor. He stood behind Jaden, placing a hand on her shoulder before clearing his throat. "Ahem! 'That only bloke' has a name I'll have you know! I'm Rafa, Malibu and Brooklyn's manager." His voice was strong and sure of himself, clearly not taking any of Jaden's shit.
"Manager? What kind of manager? What do they need a manager for?" Jaden was generally confused. She didn't remember Malibu mentioning anything about a manager, she was pretty sure she wouldn't forget something important such as that.
Malibu, who was currently sat right next to Daisy, leaned her head over Daisy's shoulder, so that Jaden could get a good look at her. "Oh, didn't I tell you? Brooklyn and I are singers."
"And every big star needs a manager to help them. That's where I come in, I help these two ladies with budgeting for their music videos, getting their albums a producer and setting up any tours they wish to do. These two have gotten quite popular within the last decade and without me, these ladies would be totally lost." Rafa explained to Jaden, sitting back down in his seat. He was evidently proud of his job and by the looks of it, was very good at it.
"And we appreciate everything that you do for us Rafa. We couldn't have asked for a better manager." Malibu replied, which earned her a grin from Rafa.
"You're welcome, doll. Anytime." Rafa said, turning his attention back to his food.
After a short while the majority of people sat around the table had finished their food. Most had risen from their seats to deliver their dirty dishes to the dishwasher, and then took their conversations into the living room. Jaden relished all of the great company that was happening around her. This large group of woman (and Rafa) was like being a part of a small community. There were small clusters of groups having their separate conversations as they all chatted between themselves and then they would all mingle into another group, repeating the process until all the women had spoken to everyone, not wanting anybody to get left out.
When Malibu had stood up from her chair, she went to head into the kitchen, beckoning Jaden to follow her. The mage rose from her seat, plate in hand and trailed after Malibu. Both women left their dishes on the kitchen counter, a large pile already forming from the dishwasher already being full. As Malibu led Jaden out of the room, she brushed past Brooklyn on the way out, turning around and stopping in the doorway so she was facing her girlfriend. "Don't forget to eat yourself. You've done a great job with the cooking tonight." Malibu praised her, staring into Brooklyn's eyes affectionately.
Brooklyn nodded her head. "I will, I've just got Stacie and Chelsea's left to do, then I'll come and join you in the dining room."
Malibu gives Brooklyn a loving kiss on the lips, then leads Jaden out of the kitchen and into the corridor, shutting the door behind her but keeping it open slightly ajar. She leant her back against the wall, her arms crossed. "So, how do you feel? I hope I haven't landed too much onto you at once." Malibu fretted in a mild panic, wondering if this was such a good idea after all.
With a shake of her head, Jaden settled Malibu's fears. "No, it's fine. If anything, I quite enjoyed myself. I can't remember the last time I sat down and had a meal with such a big gathering. It was…different, to say the least." Her voice was kind and sincere, something she knew Malibu would appreciate.
Malibu was silent for a few seconds, her gaze looking ahead through the gap in the doorway. She could barely make out the faint outlines of people mixing together and telling each other about their days. Soon enough the women would be thinking about who or where to spend their night with, deciding whether or not they would be engaging with only one partner or a small group. This was undoubtedly Malibu's favourite time of the night, observing and guessing who would end up with who and if she was lucky, maybe an invitation or two to join them. But not tonight. Tonight, it was all about Jaden and gauging from her reaction on whether or not she would want a part in any of this. Maybe now that she had introduced Jaden to the group, she'd might feel more inclined to open up to disclose any secret relationships she may have been hiding from Malibu.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I wasn't sure how you'd react to all this," She waved her arms in the air, stressing the importance of her decision, "actually, there's something I'd like to ask you regarding this…" Her voice trailed off, her nerves suddenly getting the better of her.
Waiting for her to speak, Jaden stood there in silence, allowing her to regain her composure. If this was what she thought it was going to be, she suddenly felt very weary. She understood where Malibu must be coming from though, she already had enough relationships with these women, she wouldn't need Jaden too. Jaden was a big girl, she could handle rejection.
"I-uh…" Malibu's voice alerted Jaden, causing her head to snap up. This is it, Barbie. It's now or never. Taking a deep breath, Malibu began her question. "I want to ask you if you'll- No, that came out wrong…umm…how do you feel about group sex? Or, having casual sex with multiple women at the same time to be more specific?" Malibu asked, her words racing out, the worry catching in her tone.
Jaden shrugged her shoulders. "It can be fun. I've had my fair share of threesomes if that's what you're asking. Why? Do you have something in mind?" Jaden grinned, hoping to ease Malibu from some of her awkwardness.
Stuttering over her words, Malibu took another breath, trying to sound calm and collected. She mentally scolded herself, it wasn't like she hadn't done this before. She had this exact same conversation with all of the girls she had been with. "We could do with a woman like you, Jaden. You're confident, sexy, and willing to try anything. You'd be a welcome addition to our circle."
Jaden had to blink several times to fully comprehend what had just been said to her. She had been expecting rejection, not an invite to be a part of the group. "Wait, you want me to become a part of your group? Is all of the girls in on this?" She asked in pure disbelief.
Malibu nodded her head. "Yes and yes, to both your questions."
"And I can sleep with all of them?"
"If you want." Malibu shrugged her shoulders.
Jaden's heart was hammering in her chest with excitement. A sex group? With multiple other women? It was like she had fallen asleep and awoke into her own personal wet dream. A dream she hadn't known she wanted until this very moment. Her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. She couldn't believe her luck, this couldn't be real.
However, as much as Jaden wouldn't hesitate to say yes, she now had Ken to think about, who'd be furious and definitely would see this as Jaden taking back her word on their deal. But she didn't want to outright refuse Malibu either, if anything this made Jaden even more determined to get out of this relationship with Ken so she'd have all of this to look forward to. She had to choose her next words carefully, not wanting to give Malibu the wrong impression. "As much as your offer is tempting, I'll have to think about it. This is rather a lot to take in." Jaden excused, hoping Malibu would at least understand. "Fuck, I didn't take you to be so adventurous in the sex department Barbie, I think I kind of like it." Jaden chuckled, attempting to take the edge off of her delayed invitation.
Returning the laugh, Malibu felt somewhat relieved. At least she'd think about it. "There's a lot you don't know about me Jay, things that you'll find out soon enough if you choose to stick around long enough."
The mage cast Malibu one of her winning smirks, the same smirk that had helped her pull many a person before. "Oh, we'll see about that Malibu. We'll see indeed." She laughed half to herself, the other half for Malibu's benefit. "But you want to know something? I could repeat the same statement back at you. And that's saying something, considering who you are…" Jaden muttered that last bit to herself, not wanting Malibu to catch on and accidentally hurt her feelings. She couldn't believe she was considering being in a sex group with what was essentially a plastic doll come to life.
Thankfully, Malibu either didn't hear that last titbit, or chose to ignore it. She instead turned her attention back to the girls through the crack in the doorway, staring at each and every one of them with the same amount of love that she harboured for all of them. She would always love Brooklyn a little bit more, but that didn't subtract her love for everyone else. "Please do think about it Jay, we'd love to have you with us."
With the conversation now over, Jaden gave her a small nod in acknowledgment. She turned around and headed back to the living room, deciding to socialise with some of the other girls before she took her leave for the night, letting the door click shut behind her.
Malibu let out the breath she hadn't realised she had been holding, feeling lighter than she ever had. The hard part was over. It was now a matter of playing the waiting game for Jaden's answer. She really hoped it was going to be a yes, she knew the mage would fit right in with the others, they all loved a woman who knew how to handle herself in bed and who had a sarcastic nature about her.
What was a start to a rather bleak and depressing day, had looked up in the end. Malibu got to spend some time with Jaden, she had a nice meal with all of her girlfriend's and she had introduced Jaden to the rest of the girls, something she had been worried about since their first date together. All in all, it was turning out to be a good day. What more could Malibu ask for?
