It was having the desired effect Amber had hoped for.For the past 20 minutes of their little woman-to-woman chat Amber and Melanie had been sitting wi...h legs touching and squeezing each others hand or arm in warm response to each others comments and laughter. Amber lent forward; "You are a very beautiful young woman Melanie, your father must be very proud of you. One day you're going to make some man very happy."Melanie blushed, "I would rather make you happy." Amber did not know how to. ." I asked."We hooked up with my friend Veronica last night, don't you remember..."she inquired."No" it's ok baby. Your fine, just come back to bed." My parents are going to kill me." Shuss honey, I called your parents and told them you were sleepingover. It's fine."Fear began to recede as confusion slipped in. I let her lead me back tobed as my mind buzzed. What was I doing dressed like this, who was thisblack haired girl Veronica and what had I done last night?We slipped back under the. She was sitting inthe livingroom, reading the little book that we had found during ourspring semester trip.I looked at her, and asked, "So, you figured out how to read that littlebook?" Almost," she replied, "I've been able to read a lot of it, and the moreI look at it the more I can figure out." What's it about?" It has a lot of history. Some old remedies, and things like that." So, it's interesting?" Very."That night we were laying in bed, after a great round of sex, and with aserious tone to. I had a few sexual trysts myself before I met her and we had made a pact to never ever discuss our past sexual conquests though we both knew about a few of them. I got up all groggy as the phones continued to ring, thinking that Shalini and Salomi must have already left. I picked up the receiver and before I could say hello, I heard the faint click of the other phone in the living room being picked up and heard Shalini saying hello. Glad that I could get back to my beauty sleep,I was just about.
