"I want to know because of how I feel when you touch me. I want to know because of how it feels when I touch you. I want to know because I can finally...admit I am attracted to my best friend. I want to know because the last few weeks when we have hugged or touched my body has responded in ways I thought it would only respond to a man. I want to know, but I am also scared. Scared to chase away or dramatically change our friendship. I'm scared because I think I'm in love with you."Her last. I could feel her pink lip gloss on my lips. “What?” Leilani said, looking at me. I quickly ran over and got my digital camera. “Were going to take pictures, print them out, and post them all over that fuck nut’s room. This will be the start of our revenge!” “Do we have to show my face?” Leilani asked. “Not if you don’t want to, but I think it would be better. He may think its not really you. Don’t worry, I’ll get the pictures back after he sees them,” I assured her. Somehow…I thought to myself.. Even the Goddess let me know that I wasn’t needed this time and that it would be a good chance for Lucanus to prove his leadership ability.Their first contact with the pirates was a sea battle just offshore from Coracesium (modern Alanya, Turkey). Our large fleet could hardly go unnoticed in the Mediterranean, so the pirates knew we were coming. During the sea battle forty pirate ships were sunk with the napalm. The rest succumbed to the quicklime or hurriedly rowed ashore and tried to blend in. But I appreciate your asking anyway. Yes, feel free to use the phone.”After I got in bed I called Jen and we talked for a little while. I told her all about my trip and my new house and my new family, or at least the two of them I’ve met. I was in a strange, warm, flat land. But the people I’ve met so far seem nice. My new home is fantastic. I have a great room. I am, I suppose, as happy as a girl could be when her mother just passed away and she has been forced to move away from everything she.
