"So, it was for me too."Tactless cow. Apologies weren't enough, too little too late - lookingback on my screams and shouting made me squirm. When Lexi... had mostneeded a friend, that should have been me.When she'd finished painting, she sat beside me on the bed. Stretchingout my legs I wriggled my toes next to hers and you couldn't tell thedifference in our biology."You know," I said into the quiet, "it was really hard for me. To findout you were..." A girl? Sorry." I wish... you'd said. "It was all right." Mrs. Severson look in on you?" Yeah. She made me lunch, and we talked a while. She's nice," he added."I thought she kind of annoyed you, sometimes," Joan said curiously."Well, sometimes. But not today." He looked back down at his papers, and Joan got up."I've got to take a shower," she said. "I'm going out tonight." Who with?" Sam asked without looking up."Just some friends. It's not a date, or anything." Why had she said that? It didn't matter to him. With an inward shrug. "You're so wonderful. Give me a kiss!"Ana shyly proffered her lips to Binta's and kissed her tenderly. But Binta was not to be satisfied. She squeezed the back of Ana's neck, pulling her forward, and kissed her with the same passion and intensity Ana remembered so fondly and vividly from the night before. Ana locked her arms around Binta and pulled her close, her small breasts against Binta's larger, firmer ones.Quite suddenly there was a knock on the door. Binta started with a look of panic,. For a moment he wondered ... then pushed the thought from his mind, knowing full well it would return to haunt him later.“The thanks I get!” she said with a scowl on her face and her hands on her hips. She could only hold the pose for a few seconds, however, before she started laughing.Grant was thankful these two were finally here. Their playful banter was such a needed breath of fresh air. His easy going nature and quick wit played so well off of her feistiness. After just a few minutes.
