Date: Tue, 15 Jul 2003 20:19:33 -0700 (PDT) From: S. Chandra Subject: Crazy For You chap 10-13 First of all let me just say thank you again everyone who likes my story so far, thanks for the comments as well. I know i promised more of the story sooner but i have been having problems getting on the internet, but now that i have the internet at home i hope to get another part out very shortly. (Also i just noticed that i borrowed the name of one of my characters from one of my favorite series out there "Lucky Lecture" i hope the author doesn't mind) Well i hope you enjoy this next part Chapter 10 Sloane again woke to whispers a few hours later, but to Sloane's relief they came not from her sleeping partner, but from her two other friends. Also relieving was the fact that Sloane and Nic had moved again during the night, and were now spooning, which was slightly less discomforting than the previous position they had been in. Sloane looked up as Alexa and Gen walked by, and they stopped and apologized for waking her, a few minutes later they were out the door and off to class. Sloane figuring that it was too early to be awake after such a crazy late night sank back into slumber. Nic woke around 11:20 feeling quite warm, content, and spooning with Sloane; she had had an erotic dream that involved Sloane and herself, but she couldn't quite remember what it had been about. `Hmm' she thought, `I could get used to waking up with Sloane like this. Her hair smells nice' she thought as she inhaled Sloane's scent. Nic clasped Sloane a little closer and just held her loving the feel of Sloane's body against her own. About ten minutes later Nic looked at the clock on the VCR and noticed the time she lightly whispered "Sloane, honey, wake up. I need to take you home so you can get ready for class." Sloane just scooted her body further into Nic's and quietly groaned "Five more minutes, mom." Nic chuckled softly into her ear "Sloane, I'm not your mother. I hope you don't sleep like this with her." Sloane slowly turned, and looked sleepily at Nic, then bolted up stammering indignantly, "Of c-c-c-course I d-d-don't!" "Hey settle down, I was only kidding, no need to go all rain man on me." Nic said, while sitting up, trying to soothe Sloane. "S-s-sorry, when I get n-n-nervous or embarrassed I tend to st-t-tutter. It used t-t-to be worse but I underwent therapy and can control it most of the time." "Hey I'm sorry I didn't realize. Forgive me?" Nic asked. "Yeah no problem. You didn't know, and its not like I go around announcing that I have a speech impediment. Just give me a few minutes and then we can go, okay?" Sloane said as she calmed down and got up from the couch. "Yeah take your time." Nic said while she was thinking `I am the biggest idiot! Way to go Nic, the girls go especially wild when you make fun of their problems. Why don't you go make fun of someone in a wheelchair now and later you can kick some puppies, that'll go over well!' Sloane came back in a few minutes, with her clothes from last night on, her hair in a ponytail, and looking freshly scrubbed but slightly rumpled, the whole effect was cute to say the least. Nic offered Sloane some breakfast, and she was munching on some dry toast and waiting for Nic to return from brushing her teeth. Sloane was thinking about last night and wondered if Nic knew what had happened during their sleep. Nic returned, and drank some juice while Sloane finished her toast. They left the apartment and walked to the garage area, where they passed a number of cars, then stopped in front of a motorcycle, a blue and white Kawasaki Ninja to be exact. "Oh my god you own a motorcycle? That is so cool. I find motorcycles soo sexy, and I've always wanted one, but my parents won't let me get one." Sloane said excitedly as Nic smiled and handed her a helmet. "Well you know it's the only way to travel around school. It's cheap, and there is always parking. The only bad thing is in winter you can't drive it, but I love my baby. Gen has one as well but hers is green, blue and white." Nic responded and put her own helmet on. Nic quickly mounted the bike, started it, and waited for Sloane to climb on behind and situate herself properly, before roaring off to Sloane's apartment. Less than five minutes later they arrived, and Nic parked. Sloane slid the helmet off of her head and smiled at the blonde and enthusiastically said, "That was cool, thanks a lot. Do you mind if I get my roommate and show her your bike? She loves motorcycles too." "No problem. Feel free to get her." "Oh come on Nic! Come with me to get her," the brunette pleaded while pulling on Nic's hand. "Okay, okay. I'm coming. Let me just put the helmets on the bike." "Nope, come on!" Sloane said as she pulled Nic towards her apartment with both of them holding onto a helmet. Sloane briefly let go of Nic's hand to unlock the door, but went right back to grasping it when she managed to open it. Nic was dragged into the apartment while Sloane called out her roommate's name, they both set down the helmets. Sloane didn't receive a response; she then proceeded to Lindsay's room to find her, while towing Nic behind. The brunette looked into her roomie's space, but only saw piles of clothing and an unmade bed. "Hmm, I guess she's at class. Oh well, I suppose she can see your bike later." "Yeah don't worry I plan on spending a lot of time with you, so she is bound to see me and my bike sometime." Nic assured Sloane. "So, can I see the rest of your place or what?" Sloane proceeded to show Nic the kitchen, the living area which they had breezed through earlier, the bathroom, and then ended the tour by showing her own room. "Wow this is really nice!" Nic said earnestly as she gazed at Sloane's room. There were posters of various artists and musical talents all over; Sloane's tastes were extremely eclectic and her posters showed this. There were posters of Van Gough's, Dali's, Picasso's (from his cubist and blue period), and even Rivera's work. She also had posters of Britney Spears, Incubus, The Cranberries, Zebrahead, Audioslave, Michelle Branch, and a few others that Nic had trouble identifying. Also on the walls were tons of pictures of Sloane with her family and friends. Nic couldn't help but wonder if some of the people in the pictures were Sloane's ex's. Her walls also had various stolen street signs, and an exceptionally well done oil painting along the line of Van Gough's work. Nic stepped closer and noticed the name of the artist was S. Charvat. "Hey who painted this? I want one too, it's really cool." Nic questioned Sloane. "Oh you really like it, you're not just saying that are you?" "No way. If I think art is ugly I will say it, but I really like this. It kind of looks like a Van Gough, but there is a definite difference in the style and strokes that makes it completely unique." Nic explained, and then contritely said "Sorry I took a lot of art classes, so whenever I see something I tend to evaluate it." "No not at all. And by the way I will tell the artist that you liked it. Maybe I can ask her to paint you one." "Great" Nic said passionately as she finished perusing the rest of Sloane's room: a Sony VAIO laptop on a desk, a nightstand, two beanbags, a closet, and a queen size bed covered with pillows with drawers underneath it. "This is a really nice set up" Nic reiterated, as she sleepily yawned and sat on the bed. "Thanks, I like it. Especially the bed because it's so big and comfortable." "Mmmm, comfortable" Nic repeated as she descended upon the pillows. Soon the blonde was asleep. Sloane thought she looked so adorable in her bed right then that she decided to let Nic nap until she had to leave. Sloane continued to get ready by taking a shower, changing, and doing her hair and makeup, even as Nic slumbered on. Sloane decided that the blonde must be tremendously tired after taking care of her the previous night (and she didn't want the girl to get into any accidents on the way home) that she decided to let the older girl snooze on. The brunette figured she would be back in an hour anyways. Sloane wrote a note and left it on the bed beside Nic, kissed the girl's forehead (to which Nic smiled at in her sleep), and went to class. Chapter 11 Lindsay returned to her townhouse around 2:00, she struggled briefly with the lock and let herself in while muttering curses at the door. As she entered into the living area, she noticed two motorcycle helmets on the sofa `That's odd' she thought, then out loud asked, "Hey Sloane, whose helmets are these?" as she walked towards Sloane's room. The door to Sloane's room was closed, so she lightly rapped on the door. The short blonde was greeted by silence, so she quickly and quietly turned the handle and peeked in. "Sloane? Oh!" Lindsay hastily shut the door. `Was that a girl in Sloane's bed?' She peeked in again, and saw Nic sleeping deeply on the bed hugging Sloane's body pillow. `Oh my god, it is! Wow Sloane sure works fast, she kind of looks like that Nic girl.' Lindsay thought, at the same time she walked a little closer to get a better look. `I knew they were going out last night but I didn't think that this would happen so soon! I really didn't think Sloane would do anything on the first date, there must be a good explanation for this.' It was then that Lindsay noticed the note propped up on the bed. She stealthily picked up the note and quickly read it Nic, Sorry I didn't wake you up, I figured you were really tired after taking care of me last night, so I decided to let you sleep. I'll be home in an hour or so, but my roommate should be home soon, so if you want to leave feel free to do so. If you do, I want to say thanks for dropping me off this morning, and I look forward to our movie date tomorrow. Kisses, Sloane P.S. I liked sleeping with you last night, you were really comfortable : ) At the last sentence Lindsay's eyes opened a little wider. She put the note back in its original spot. `Well that explains something' Linds thought as she silently crept out of the room `But now I need all the details!' and she continued to her room to await her roomie. ****************** Sloane had been let out of class early since it was a recitation, and there was nothing to be taught, what with it being the first week of class. She hurried home, and entered the apartment. The second she stepped in the house Lindsay practically pounced and started bombarding her with questions. "So did you have fun last night? When did you come home? I didn't hear you come in last night. What's with the motorcycle helmets? And why is Nic in your bed half naked?" "Whoa hold on a sec! What ever happened to `Hey Sloane, what's up?' huh missy?" "Hey Sloane, what's up with you and Nic?" "I guess that's close enough." Sloane sighed, nervously rubbing her fingers across her nose. "Nothing has happened yet. Okay mother!? I mean we haven't even kissed yet. I don't just sleep with someone on the first date, and I'm not even sure last night was even a date." "I see, well then why is she in your bed right now?" "Well she drove me home this morning on her motorcycle, that's why there are helmets in our living room by the way, and I gave her a tour of our place. She must have been beat, because she just fell asleep on my bed. And I didn't want to wake her up because she took care of me last night. That and she looks so good in my bed." Sloane finished sexily. Lindsay laughed a little and said, "Yes she does look pretty cute like that. Man if I was into girls I would have hopped right in with her. Ha kidding Sloane, I would never steal anyone you were interested in." Lindsay quickly finished when Sloane gave her a mock glare. "So why don't you go wake sleeping beauty up now and I will make some lunch; how do sandwiches sound?" "I don't know, it depends on what kind; if it's a ham or bologna then I think it would oink, and a turkey one would gobble, and if it was a..." Sloane continued laughing. "Oh lord, get out of here!" Lindsay interrupted, and pushed her roommate towards her bedroom. Sloane opened the door and softly tiptoed into the room. She sat down on the bed slowly, next to the sleeping blonde, and lightly whispered "Nic? Wake up. Time for lunch." There was no movement from the fair-haired girl. Sloane moved closer and gently pushed her a little, no response. `Damn this girl is a heavy sleeper. Well obviously, I mean she didn't wake up when you were practically assaulting her last night! Hmm maybe some water sprinkled on her face will wake her up.' Sloane thought and leaned over Nic to get the glass of water she always kept by her bedside. It was then that Nic, who had been awake since before the door had opened, decided to pull Sloane down on top of her, as a joke. Sloane tumbled onto the blonde; their faces were a couple of inches away and the brunette was looking into Nic's smirking face. "Hey beautiful, what took you so long?" "Nic! How long have you been awake?" "For awhile now, enough time to read your note and just hang in your room for a bit. I thought I would wait to see what you would do to wake me up. Sadly you weren't doing what I thought you would." Nic sighed. "Oh really, and what were you hoping I would do?" Sloane whispered huskily, while her face moved closer to Nic's. Nic swallowed deeply then opened her mouth to answer, but was caught off guard when Sloane swooped down and took her lips. They both let out groans of desire as they finally made the contact they had been mutually craving since they first met. Nic clutched Sloane's shoulders, crushing their mouths together. Sloane sensuously licked the blonde's full lower lip, which elicited another deep moan from her, then plunged her tongue into Nic's mouth. Her tongue was met by another and they caressed each other thoroughly. Nic's hands had moved from the Sloane's shoulders, and had twined themselves into her silky hair, while the brunette's hands traveled down Nic's firm torso. `Mmmm, she tastes so good...this seems so familiar...oh my god its almost exactly like my dream!' Sloane thought then stopped thinking when her hands finally connected with Nic's soft skin. Nic whimpered again, breaking the contact between their lips, as they both panted for air. Sloane quickly kissed her way down Nic's jaw and continued kissing till she reached her velvety neck; her lips and teeth hungrily latched onto the creamy skin she found there. Sloane had just clamped down, when she heard Lindsay calling to them. "Hey girls, lunch is ready. What's taking so long?" The tiny blonde cried out, her voice increasing in volume; she was right outside the door! "Oh shit!" Sloane exclaimed, pushing herself quickly off of Nic. At the loss of Sloane Nic growled in disappointment. Then sighed and tried to make herself look presentable in the next few seconds before a curious Lindsay opened the door. As the blonde looked in she noticed Sloane was practically halfway across the room, with her hair mussed and a suspicious flush to her skin, while Nic was adjusting her tank and had an interesting looking bruise blooming on her neck. Linds chuckled lightly and said "Hey Nic, nice to see you again. Hope I didn't interrupt anything Sloane, but you were taking too long to wake up sleeping beauty, so I came to see if you guys were all right. I take it everything is okay? Well come on ladies the sandwiches aren't getting any better!" Chapter 12 Lunch went by at a leisurely pace since all three of the girls were done with school for the day, and in no rush to do anything else. They talked about what they had done the previous evening. Lindsay and her boyfriend Eric had gone out to dinner then went to his place and had watched movies for a bit. "Not the most exciting thing to do I know, but I think Eric and I have gotten past the go out and party all the time stage. I believe we are now entering the stay at home by ourselves stage, because we feel much more comfortable with each other now. What do you guys think? You don't think we've entered the cheapskate, lame ass, boring old "married couple" stage do you?" Lindsay questioned. "No, settle down I think it's the first one. You know Eric has matured a lot since you guys have been dating. I think you are really good for him. I mean I have known Eric since we were in elementary school; he is my best friend and all, but the major problem was that he was an immature child. He's still a joker, but only when its appropriate." Sloane replied with a grin. Lindsay smiled. Nic questioned a second later, "So is that how you two met? Through Eric?" "No actually I met Eric through Sloane. See, Sloane was my friend's roommate last year, and I met her first. We really hit it off, and now she is one of my best friends. But anyways, yeah so we spent a lot of time together, and of course I met Eric a few times, and we flirted heavily. Finally he asked me out, and we have been dating ever since! But enough about me, so how was last night?" "It was fun and interesting." Nic responded, "But I hope we have a great time tomorrow night as well." "Oh yeah? What are you ladies planning on doing?" "Well I thought we would do something traditional, like dinner and a movie, but then I remembered that the art museum has a great exhibit so I was wondering if you would like to do dinner and the museum?" Nic asked Sloane. "That sounds great!" Sloane said eagerly. "Great! How about I pick you up around 7:30, and you choose the restaurant. Okay? Anywhere you want to go. But I think it's time I went home, I haven't showered today, and I should do some homework before I go into class tomorrow. Thanks for the lunch Lindsay it was delicious." "Not a problem. Lindsay said cheerily, "Oh before you go Nic, could I see your bike?" "Yeah sure, come on out." Nic said as she grabbed both of the helmets. All three girls headed out to the parking area, and stood around for a few minutes discussing the motorcycle. "Wow this is awesome, Eric would flip if he saw this. Maybe you could give me a ride sometime?" Lindsay inquired. "I'm sure I could." Nic said as she slid her helmet on, and tightened the strap; she had already stowed away the other helmet securely. "Sweet! I'm gonna go call Eric and brag, see ya later Nic." Lindsay said and hurried off to phone her boyfriend. "Hmm, and then there were two." Nic drawled, "Why so quiet Sloane?" "Oh no reason, I was just wondering when that girl would leave us alone so I could say good bye to you properly. But then you had to go ruin it by putting your helmet on." Sloane said while slightly pouting. "You know, I can take the helmet off." "No, no that's fine, you run along now I will see you later." Sloane said teasingly and turned to leave. Nic ripped off her helmet, then grabbed Sloane's arm, and turned her and pulled her closer into her slightly taller frame. "Not so fast hun, I believe there was something you wanted to give me before I left? And I'm sorry to say that if I don't get it then I might not come get a certain someone for a date tomorrow." Nic gruffly whispered onto Sloane's parted lips, which were less than an inch from her own. "We wouldn't want that..." Sloane trailed off and pressed her lips to Nic's. Unlike the first kiss they had shared, this was much softer but no less consuming. The two girls slowly explored each others mouths, with darting, stroking tongues, only parting when some passersby's honked their horn and shouted out the windows "Holy shit that is hot! Turn around!" The two broke apart laughing breathlessly. "Well that was interesting. I would really love to finish this, but I don't want to give those guys another little peep show." Nic chuckled as she slid her helmet back on, and started her bike. "Good point. I guess we can finish this later sometime. Be forewarned I have every intention of finishing this." Sloane said with a wicked little smile on her face. "See you tomorrow." Sloane finished, and walked away leaving a smiling and slightly stunned Nic on her purring cycle. Chapter 13 Nic sat doing her homework when the phone rang. Nic heaved a sigh of relief, that damn math homework was trying her patience, and she welcomed the respite. "Hello...Mom, its good to hear from you...Yeah we're fine...No Alexa and Gen aren't here, they're at class still, wait I think I hear the door opening. Yup it's them hold on a sec. Hey girls mom is on the line, she wants to say hi to her favorite girl, and of course Gen too." "Ha very funny brat!" Gen said as she blew a raspberry in her sister's direction. "Hey mom!" Alexa answered the phone "Yeah we are having a blast...School is school, so it's okay...Oh yeah we are making tons of friends in class and everything, but I'm surprised Nic hasn't told you about her new friend...Oh you can ask her later, but anyways Gen is getting impatient so I'll let you talk to her." "Mom, what's up? No, don't ask me about her new girlfriend, but from the curious looking discoloration on her neck, I would have to say its going well. Anywho, how is daddy? Good...What about Gizmo? Awww no he didn't...Wow I can't wait to see his new trick...Everything else going alright at home? How is my boy Ed doing? Tell him I miss him, can't wait to see everyone...I think we are coming home in a few weeks...Yes, yes I'll bring Lexa if I can...don't ask me ask her. Geez mom, here she is, bye luv ya lots." Gen said while handing the phone over to her twin. "...Well sorry I didn't mention her, but I talked to you for all of two seconds, and then you just had to talk to your other girls. I don't know why you didn't just call their cells...Oh I see. Yes well her name is Sloane and she is just incredible. She is funny, smart, and cute...Yeah she really is the whole package...What? You want me to ask her to come home with me, after only a few weeks? I guess I could. I'll ask her in a week, when she has gotten to know me better...Okay I'll tell them...Love you too mom, say hi to dad, Gizmo, Ed and of course Midnight." Nic hung up the phone, and was instantly attacked with questions. "Nice hicky Nicky, who gave it to you?" Alexa rhymed. "So how far did you two love birds get? Hmm was it all the way? And if so how was she?" Gen spouted out. "Shut up Gen! All we did was kiss and make out a little. Sloane isn't like that! Even if she was I want to wait with her, and make it special. I don't want to just jump her; I want to make it really unique." Nic defended her new passion. "Sorry, I know she means a lot to you. I was just playing." "I know, it's just, you know..." Nic finished. "Yeah I know. Well then, who wants lunch? I am starved, how about you baby?" Gen asked her girl. "I'm a little peckish. What about you Nicola?" Alexa questioned the mirror image of her girlfriend. "Umm no I'm fine. I already ate with Sloane and her roommate Lindsay." "That's cool. Just wondering though, was that before or after the hicky?" Gen laughed. "You're such a dork! I'm gonna study in my room." and Nic walked towards the back of the apartment as the other two headed towards the kitchen.
