MJ saw how Lindsay was turning beet red. Oh my god, you did, MJ said accusingly. She laughed and threw a pillow at her. You big hoe.

Lindsay laughed in turn and gathered her own ammunition to fire at MJ. After some exhaustive battle amidst uncontrollable laughter, the two fell back onto the bed in exhaustive heaps.

Okay, so tell me everything. Start with the basics of where and when.

Lindsay sat up next to MJ who did the same, rapt in attention. After you left and in the bathroom there and then. MJs shock look was not surprising because she herself could not believe that she did the deed in such a public place.

The BATHROOM?!

I knowIm still in shock over it. But at that time, I did not care about anything much.

That hot huh?

Lindsay let out a dramatic sigh and feigned a swoon motion. You have not idea.

What did she do exactly?

I dont know how to explain it, she replied puzzled. It was likeI mean she did not do anything that was totally uniqueit was more likeit was as if she knew what I wanted, which button to push and wheneven before I know myself. Either way it was combustion. I mean one touch was enough to make me hot all over. Lindsay let out a sigh; she felt hot even thinking about the night before.

WOW. Someone is falling hard, MJ said teasingly, trying to make light of it.

Ohh, dont even go there. I have a distinct feeling that it was a one time deal.

What?! Did she dis you or something? Because if she hurt your feelings, she will hear it from me.

No actually she was very nice afterward. I just have a feeling that she was looking for some release and I was more than willing.

MJ was not so convinced. So what happened afterward?

Let me tell you, I was a million shade of reds when we stepped out of that bathroom, but not her. Shane seemed to have taken it in stride. It was as if she had done it a million times. Lindsay looked at MJ questioningly. She has known Shane longer than she does.

MJ answered the unspoken question, I dont have a clue. I did just meet her that night at dinner. But I do know that she just turned 16 so how much experience could she have had.

She saw how disappointed Lindsay was at her answer and couldnt help but be worried. Are you sure you are okay with this?

Lindsay waved it off. Oh yeah Im fine. After the bathroom quickie, we hang out and played pool. She is very layback, confident, and I dont knowshe is just ***** cool. I could say that we are friends now. She said something about a pool tournament at the same place tonight. I might go. At MJs look, she reluctantly added, I mean mind you I wouldnt say no to something more since the ***** was mind-blowing but hey Im cool with whatever.

MJ really hoped so for her friends sake and maybe for her own sake as well, but either way, she planned to stake out the situation when she sees Shane later in the day.

Okay, enough of me. How are you doing?

MJs face became gloomy at the turn of topic. Confused.

So what, are you guys still on a break?

Seems like it. I dont know. I just dont know what to do, so I guess a break is the best way to go. Its so ***** hard to keep this from my mom. I used to be able to tell her everything, well most of everything, and now I cant even really meet her eyes anymore. This secret is taring me up inside in more ways than one. And with what had happened earlier, she didnt know if she could talk to Lindsay either.

Lindsay went over and gave MJ a hug. Everything will be fine I promise.

MJ rested her head against her friends comforting shoulder and wished that it would be so.
