The Love Potion
By Chris

        "Shelly!"

        Shelly turned around but she saw no one that she recognized so she
turned back around and headed on down the hallway.

        "Shelly, wait a minute, I need to talk to you."

        Shelly was almost at the door heading out of the building when she
turned around again. The hallway was filled with students leaving the high
school. Then as the hallway cleared and the students passed by her, she saw
a girl running toward her.  Shelly waited a moment while she caught up.

        "I was afraid that I was going to miss you.," the girl said as she
tried to catch her breath.

        "You almost did. Now, you seem to know my name but I do not have a
clue as to yours." Shelly stated as she gave the girl what she hoped was a
casual once over. The girl had old jeans and a baggy tee shirt on. She wore
no make up at all. Shelly could tell that with only a little work, the girl
could be quite attractive. She was about her height, which was five foot
nine. Her hair was somewhere between brown and blond, probably best
described as a dirty blond. Her breasts were about a small C cup but they
definitely fit her body. Her body was nice, not to slim but also not to
fat. Just about the right weight to give her some curves.

        "Oh, I am sorry, my name is Jane Withers." The girl said as she
stuck out her hand for Shelly to shake. Shelly noticed that the girl had a
firm handshake and that she held on to her hand an instant longer than was
necessary.

        "Nice to meet you Jane but what exactly do you want. I have to
deliver my mother's orders for today. She grows herbs and stuff and sells
them to the local restaurants." Shelly said wondering just why she was
going into more detail than necessary with this strange girl.

        "I know; that is why I was rushing to catch up with you. I need to
talk to you about something."

        "If it is homework, the school has lots of tutors available."

        "No it has nothing to do with school and I know the school has
tutors. I happen to be one of them."

        "I see, then what is it that you need to talk to me about and
please make it quick. I am running late already."

        "Well, I think it will be better if you could just give me a little
of your time and we could go somewhere private." Jane said.

        "I really am sorry but I am busy today and I really don't have much
spare time with by deliveries and helping my mother in her herb garden.
Maybe we can meet up some weekend." Shelly said hoping that would be the
end of it. She started to walk off but what she heard next stopped her in
her tracks.

        "I know that you are a witch."

        "What did you say?" Shelly said as she quickly turned around hoping
that she was hiding the fear she felt inside her. This was the one thing
that her mother had drilled into her since she was little, no one could
ever find out their family secret.

        Jane came up to her and said it again, "I know you are a witch."
She did not say it with any ill will, Shelly could sense that from her but
she could not tell what the girl was up to and that disturbed her. Reading
people was one of the first things that her mother had taught her. It was
not meant to be used against anyone but more to protect the family secret,
at least the female side of the family. The men never had a clue that their
wives and daughters were witches.

        "You have got to be kidding, there are no such things as witches.
You have been reading too many fantasy books and watching too many movies."
Shelly said with a laugh that she hoped she was carrying off.

        "I have been reading books but they have been genealogy books and I
have gotten quite good at looking up family histories. That is one of the
ways that I found out that you were a witch." Jane said and then she smiled
warmly.

        Shelly hesitated a second, trying to decide what to do. She was not
prepared for this and she really did not know how to handle the
situation. Finally, she decided to laugh it off, hoping that Jane would
give up.

        "You are really crazy, you know that. Now I am really late so I
have to be going."  Shelly said as she rushed out the doors but she heard
Jane's parting words, "We will talk again, but don't worry your secret is
safe with me."

        Shelly knew that Jane was telling the truth, that she could sense.
Still she was shaken up and she needed time to think of how to handle the
fact that someone knew that she really was a witch. When she got to her
car, she decided that she would handle this problem herself there was no
reason to tell her mom. She always talked to her about everything but this
she could not tell her. The one thing she could not figure out was just how
this Jane girl had found out. She thought about this all the way home then
she picked up her deliveries and was back out the door. She avoided her mom
as best she could the rest of the evening, staying mostly in her room, and
only coming out to eat supper and the clean the kitchen after dinner. Later
that evening she heard a soft knock on her bedroom door and she knew that
it was her mother. The one person she did not want to talk to, while at the
same time the one person she most needed to talk with.

        "Come in." Shelly said, hoping that her mom just wanted to say good
night.

        "So do you want to talk to me about what is bothering you?"
Shelly's mom asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.

        "There is nothing bothering me, everything is fine." Shelly said
and she tried to give her mom a reassuring smile.

        "I know you better than that, something is bothering you. So do you
want to talk about it?" She replied.

        Shelly thought for a moment about what to do, tell her mom or not.
She was about to decide not to when her mom said, "You don't have to tell
me if you don't want too, but you know that I am always here for you." Then
she patted Shelly on the leg and started to get up.

        "Wait, there is something that I need to talk to you about." Shelly
said as she reached out to her mom, stopping her. Her mother sat back down
and waited as her daughter formed the words that she wanted to say in her
head.

        "As I was leaving school today a girl called out my name. I had
never seen her before or if I did, I don't remember. Anyway, I stopped and
waited on her.  When she got to me, she introduced herself as Jane
Withers. She said that she needed to talk to me but wanted to do it in
private. I told her that I was busy and maybe we could talk later. Then as
I started to leave, she told me that she knew that I was a witch. I swear,
I don't know how she found out. I have been careful about doing anything
since you had to warm my butt when I was in the first grade for playing
tricks on my classmates. I have only practiced my spells and honed my
skills at home with you teaching me. I have not moved objects or caused
other people to do things that I wanted them to do. The only thing that I
have done outside the house is to read what people are feeling and
thinking, that I have to do outside the home as you said, it does not work
on people that you love.  The only other thing that I can think of was when
I healed that little girl but I told you about that when it happened. I am
sorry if I have messed up but I honestly don't see where I have. I just
can't figure out how she could have discovered our secret."

        "I see why that would be bothering you. You do have a big problem
to solve. Did you ask where she might have gotten her information?"

        "No, she shook me up too much. I just told her that she was crazy
and that there was no such thing as witches." Shelly replied and then she
realized that her mom had said that she had a big problem, not that they
had a big problem.

        "Well I think that you need to do some research on this girl and
then you need to talk to her. Find out just what she knows and how she
knows it. But don't do witchcraft on her, you hear me."

        "I won't, you know me better than that. We only use our craft when
we have to and then only to do good. You and Grandma taught me well."

        "Good, then stop worrying, and get to work. The world has not
ended.  It is not the first time that someone has discovered that we are
witches and it won't be the last. The key is to make sure that she is a
friend to us. If you need me then let me know. I will help you, but I want
you to do the work. I think that this will be a good test for you."

        "Okay, thanks for listening to me and thanks for not being mad at
me. I just don't know where I could have screwed up."

        "Maybe you didn't. Did you ever think about that? She just may be a
sharp girl and did her homework or just got lucky. You never know."
Shelly's mom said as she got up and gave her daughter a kiss on the
forehead.

        Shelly did feel better after her mom had left and she knew now what
she had to do and that made her feel better. She wasn't as shaken anymore,
just determined to find out just how Jane knew what she knew.

        The next morning Shelly got up early and took her shower. She had
the beginnings of a plan and it was time to get started. She got to school
just as the janitor was opening the doors. She then stood by the office
door pretending to be reading from her history textbook. She waited until
the office secretary came in and unlocked the office. She then went to the
cafeteria and heated up a cup of water. She went to a table that was
closest to the office and sat down. She pulled out her necklace and took
one of the two vials off. This vial contained a potion that enabled her to
enter another person's body for a short period of time. The other vial
contained a healing potion that she kept with her at all times. She began
to chant, "As I will this, it shall be. Let me in the body that I see. As I
say this, let it be." as she poured the powder into the hot water. After
saying the chant three times as she breathed in the potion, she felt her
soul leaving her body and rise above her. Slowly she directed her soul into
the office and she found the secretary starting a pot of coffee. Shelly
gently eased into the woman's body. She now had control of the secretary
and she directed her over to the student's files. It did not take her long
to find Jane's records and she found that Jane was a straight "A" student
with only two "B's" to blemish her record. She found her schedule for the
year and she memorized it. She also got what days Jane would be
tutoring. She had gotten what she was after but as she was closing the
file, she noticed that Jane also worked in the office two afternoons a
week. "So that is where Jane got some of her information about me," Shelly
thought. She put the file up and left the secretary's body as she could not
leave her own body alone for long. The rest of the day Shelly thought about
what she would do next and she decided that the next day she would visit
Jane as she was tutoring a student.  Of course, Jane would not know that
she was being visited.

        The next afternoon, Shelly got her mom to do the deliveries as she
stayed behind at school. She quietly found the classroom that Shelly was
using and she set down in the hallway. She pulled out a thermos and poured
the cup full of hot water. She pulled the vial she needed and poured the
contents into the cup as she quietly chanted, "As I will this, it shall
be. Let me in the body that I see. As I say this, let it be."  Again, she
rose from her body and entered the classroom. She quickly found Jane and a
young boy, probably a freshman, at the back of the room. She went there and
started to enter Jane's body but she found that she could not. This puzzled
her; she had never failed at this before. She tried again but it was like
there was a barrier around Jane.  Shelly figured that she had screwed up
the potion but she had been doing this potion since she was nine.  Shelly
decided to try the young man and she found that she could enter his body
quite easily. "Well, I did not screw up the potion that is for sure."
Shelly thought. It was weird being in a boy's body, very strange. She could
feel what the boy was feeling and she could also feel the hardness in his
loins. "So the boy had a crush on Jane," Shelly discovered. Shelly listened
to Jane talk and she found that she enjoyed listening to her and that Jane
was a very patient teacher. Shelly stayed in the boy's body longer than she
meant to but finally she left, as she knew that there was nothing to
discover here.

        "So what have you discovered?" Shelly's mom said as she sat down on
the edge of Shelly's bed, later on that night.

        "Jane works in the office a couple of afternoons during the week,
so that is how she got some of her information on us. At least it got her
enough information to get started. She is also a straight A student, so she
is smart. But then I had figured that out already. But something strange
happened today, that I can't figure out."

        "What is that honey?"

        "Well, you know that I stayed after school today so that I could
enter Jane's body and see what she really knew."

        "Yes..."

        "I did the potion and as I tried to enter Jane's body, it was like
I was blocked from doing so. I thought that I had screwed the potion up but
I was able to enter the boy's body that Jane was tutoring. It was as if
something was protecting her body.  Could she be a witch also? I did not
sense that but then I am not sure of anything anymore." Shelly said.

        "I see. Were you blocked completely or were you able to start in
and then forced back out?" Her mother asked.

        "I could start but then I found that I was back outside her
body. Do you know what was going on, is she a witch?"

        Shelly's mom face broke out into a soft knowing smile and then she
answered her daughter's questions, sort of. "No she isn't a witch, she is
just a normal girl, and I do think that I know why you could not enter her
body."

        Shelly waited for a moment for her mom to continue but when she
realized that her mom was going to say no more, Shelly asked her "Well, are
you going to tell me?"

        "No, I'm not. You will have to discover that for yourself."

        "Mom... I thought you said that you would help me if I needed it."

        "And I will sweetheart, when you really need me, I will be there
for you. But this, I think that you will soon discover, you can and need to
do by yourself. It will be alright, I think that you will like how it comes
out."

        "That sure is a cryptic answer. I hope that you are right."

        "I am, of that I am sure. Is that all you need to talk about
tonight?"

        "I guess so, not that I am any surer about anything than I was when
we started this conversation."

        "You know more than you think you do. Just relax and think and the
answers will come to you. I have faith in you and I am..."

        "Always there for me, I know." Shelly said with a smile.

        Her mother leaned down, kissed her daughter on the forehead, and
left Shelly there lying in her bed to think. Shelly knew her mother was
right, she had to do this on her own, and that in her heart she knew it
would be all right. She also knew it was time to have a heart to heart with
Jane. She had avoided her for the past two days but tomorrow was Friday and
it was time to meet again. That morning she convinced her Mom to make her
deliveries for her again and being the caring Mom, she was, she agreed.

        Friday afternoon, Shelly waited just inside an empty classroom by
the front doors as school let out. She wanted to be the one to spring the
surprise on Jane today. Soon she saw Jane come running down the hall, only
to stop at the front door. Jane looked everyone over, as they passed
through the doors. Shelly could tell she was searching for someone and she
knew that she was that someone. As the crowd began to wane, Shelly could
tell that Jane was becoming desperate. Shelly figured that this was the
third day in a row that Jane had waited in the very spot for her only to
miss her as Shelly had slipped out a side door. Shelly waited until almost
everyone had left and Jane had started out the door herself before she
eased out of the classroom. She followed Jane at a discrete distance, not
wanting her presence known quite yet. It was only when Jane got to her car
that Shelly made her move.

        "Jane!" Shelly called out to her making Jane stop in her tracks.

        "Oh Shelly, I have been looking for you. I wanted to talk to you. I
have looked for you the past two days but I kept missing you for some
reason."

        "I told you that I had to help my Mom after school, but I got her
to make her own deliveries today so that maybe we can straighten the
ridiculous notion that you have that I am a witch out. So let's sit a
minute and get to the bottom of this."

        "Well this evening I have to go to a birthday party for one of my
cousins. It would be better if you could come over to my house tomorrow
morning and we can talk privately. Everyone will be gone and we can have
the house to ourselves."

        "Can't we just talk a minute now? I know that I can convince you in
no time that you have made a mistake." Shelly asked, really wanting to get
this over with today. She knew what she wanted to say but Jane was not
cooperating with her plan.

        "No, I really do need to show you something, can you come over
tomorrow."

        "Okay, give me your address and I will be over there at ten." Jane
said with an exaggerated sigh.

        "Oh thank you." Jane said as she started to write out her address.
Shelly already knew where Jane lived as she got that when she went into the
office secretary's body the other day. But she took the address all the
same and then she turned on her heels to leave.  Shelly did not like how
this was going. She wanted to convince Jane that afternoon but it just was
not going, as she wanted. But then again, she was starting to discover that
nothing about Jane went according to her plans. She was use to being in
control of every situation she was in and this was one that she was finding
that she had no control over.  Her powers were just not working on Jane and
that bothered her. That night she tossed and turned and she kept waking up
from weird dreams. Normally she could remember her dreams and she gained
great insight from them, but tonight's dreams were a jumble of scenes. They
all had Jane in them but that was about all that she could remember. She
woke up feeling that today was going to be another day that was not going
to go the way she wanted and there wasn't a damn thing that she could do
about it. She almost dreaded going to Jane's house this morning but her
mother kept after her and she made it out the door at about nine
thirty. She took her time driving to Jane's house, as she did not want to
be seen anxious and arrive early. She actually wanted to arrive late but
she was one of those people who have never been late in her life and she
could not force herself to do so this morning. So at ten sharp, she found
that she was standing on the porch of Jane's house ringing the doorbell.

        "Hi!" Jane said cheerfully as she let Shelly into the house.

        "Hi, yourself." Shelly said and then she realized that she said it
with more enthusiasm than she intended or understood.

        "Would you like something to drink before we go up to my room?"

        "Sure what do you have?" Jane said as she realized that her mouth
was dry and she did need something to drink.

        "About everything, Cokes, Mellow Yellow, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper
or juice, what do you want?"

        "A Dr. Pepper will be fine."

        "Give me a second, I will be right back, then we can get started."
Jane said as she left Shelly alone in the living room. Shelly looked around
and noticed that the place was nice. It had that lived in look. Everything
was clean and all of that but there were magazines out and an open book on
an end table. She liked that, it made Jane's family seem normal and not a
bunch of stuff shirts.

        "Here you go." Jane said, startling Shelly, as she came back into
the living room.  "Now let's go to my bedroom where my computer is." Jane
said, and then she did something that shook Shelly up even more. She took
her by the hand and started to lead her toward the back of the
house. Shelly wanted to take her hand back but she had to admit that Jane's
soft hand felt nice. It felt comfortable in her hand and she could not
bring herself to let go. When they got to Jane's bedroom, Jane did let go
of her hand and Shelly felt the loss. She flexed her fingers and she wanted
to grab Jane's hand back but then she realized what she was thinking and
why she was here. She had a job to do and now was not the time to be
distracted.

        "Sorry about the mess but I really hate to clean my room." Jane
said breaking Shelly from her thoughts.

        "That is okay, mine is the same way. I have clothes all over the
place." Shelly said then wondered why she said that as she kept her room
spotless.  Everything was put up, while Jane had her jeans scattered across
the room and her bras and panties everywhere. The last two items got her
mind wondering again and she had to force herself to focus again, on what
she wanted to do today. What her normally detailed mind did not notice was
the posters that Jane had on her walls. They were all of women and all were
lesbian, like Ellen DeGeneres and Melissa Etheridge.

        "Here have a seat." Jane said, as she pulled up a chair by her
computer, then she sat down in front of the monitor and started to pull up
a genealogy document. "To start out let me say that I got interested in
genealogy during the summer after our freshman year. I started out by
researching my mom's family and when I had gone back as far as I could, I
started with my father's family. I got my mom and dad into it and we sort
of made it a family project. It turned out to be a lot of fun and I think
it brought us all closer as a family but that is another subject for
another day. Then this summer I decided to do your family..."

        "Why my family? You really had no right to go there." Shelly
interrupted, suddenly getting her back up and she began to see where Jane
got some of her

information.

        "I know I didn't, but I will explain why I did later but let me say
what I want to say first, okay."

        "Fine, but you had better have a good reason." Shelly said and she
could feel her anger continue to rise.

        "It was kind of hard to get started since I didn't know much about
your family but since I work at the high school office during the school
year and also during the summer, I kind-of looked at your file. I know
before you say anything. I had no right to do that and you can turn me in
if you want. You have every right to do that. But let me finish and let me
try to make it up to you first, please."

        "I will listen to what you have to say but I do plan on turning
your ass in. Those records are private and should not be open to people who
are just trying to cause trouble."  Shelly said, as her voice rose in
volume that made Jane sit back.

        "I know but I think you will understand why I had to do that when I
finish my story."

        "Fine, go ahead but I am not sure that you can say anything that
will make me not turn you in for what you did."

        "I know, in fact if after what I say, if you still feel this way I
will go Monday and turn myself in and you can believe me when I say that. I
do not lie."

        "Okay go ahead and let's get this over with." Shelly said with a
sigh.

        "I decided to start with you mother's side of the family as I
figured that would be where your gifts would be handed down. I went from
your mother to your grandmother.  That part was easy but it stared getting
harder from there on. Since I didn't know any of your family history, I was
really starting from scratch. Luckily, your family tended to stay in the
same town for a few generations before moving. I traced your mother's
family from Florida where you are now to a small town in East Tennessee to
Western North Carolina and finally back to a small coastal town in
Virginia. It took me all summer to do this and I had to call on many of my
friends that I had made when I researched my own family to make some of the
links, especially when your family moved to a different state.  As I went
back, I did begin to notice a few patterns. The first was easy to notice
and that was every woman had the middle name of Cassandra. That is an old
name and not a common name. You have it as your middle name, as does your
mother, as does your grandmother and so on. I knew then that this had to be
a key but I was not sure what it was a key too. The second thing that I
noticed was that each woman had only one child and that was always a
girl. That might not be very unusual for a couple of generations but for it
to happen at every generation is beyond statistics. It just can't happen,
there has to be a male in there somewhere but in your family there are no
males born and always just one child. Also all the women that I could get
any detail on looks as you do. They all had the long black hair and all
were tall like you." Jane said and she looked at Shelly who kept her face
blank.

        Shelly knew her own history by heart. As each mother died, her
daughter would write her history in a journal. Then the journals were
passed down to each generation.  Before she could read, her mother would
read to her from the journals at night as a bedtime story and once she
learned to read, she read them on her own.  Everything that Jane was
telling her, she already knew by heart. She was impressed by Jane's

determination in tracing back her history. She knew that it was not an easy
job as her family had always kept a low profile in every place that they
had lived. But now she knew that Jane was at a critical point in her family
and she wondered if and how she made the final connection.

        When Jane got no reaction from Shelly, she went on with her story.
"When I got back to the point that your family first came to America, I got
stuck. It was 1695 and I knew that your, to many greats to count,
grandmother, arrived there as a baby but where she came from I had no
clue. I finally had to call on a friend that I had made that was from near
there. I gave her the name that I had, which was Abigail Cassandra
Wilson. My friend then went to a maritime museum and was able to find that
Abigail arrived on a ship from Great Britain as a baby and she was
traveling with a woman named Kayla Wise. Now this I found very
strange. Abigail had arrived not with her mother but some other woman. My
friend was also able to find out that Abigail did not get on the ship in
Great Britain but she got on the ship in Ireland. Again, I was stuck but I
kept searching and I was able to find a woman in Ireland who did some
research for me and what she found surprised me but then it didn't. It took
her a month to find what I needed but she was able to find it. It seemed
that Abigail's mother was part of a famous trial. She told me that
Abigail's mother was named Cassandra Winston. Cassandra was a widow who
lived in the town of Keals, Ireland and she had a baby named Abigail. Well,
right after Abigail was born, Cassandra was seen by some farmers pulling
their child out of a nearby river. As the farmer's family rushed to the
child, they saw Cassandra pull something from her dress, she poured the
powder over the child, and then she chanted something. After a few seconds,
the child woke up as if she had only been sleeping. The farmers accused
Cassandra of witchcraft and there was a trial. But before they could arrest
Cassandra, she was able to get to her home and sent her baby off with that
friend of hers.  Cassandra was, of course, convicted and burned at the
stake." Jane said and then she waited for Shelly's response to her history.

        Shelly hesitated for a moment then said, "I have to admit that you
have done a great job of tracing my family's history. I could have saved
you the trouble if you had asked. I know all of my family's past history
but given that my, as you say a great number of greats, grandmother was
accused of witchcraft does not make me or her a witch. There were many
women at that time accused of witchcraft and none were witches, I am sure."

        "No it doesn't make you a witch, but the second part of my story
does." Jane replied.

        "Well, tell me this last part so that we can get this over with."
Shelly said trying to sound exacerbated with the whole thing but she had to
admit that as smart and ingenious as she was discovering Jane to be; she
was more than a little worried.

        "Right after school had let out for the summer, I happened to be
walking down Wilson Street when I saw you in your car. I guess that you
were returning home after making deliveries for your mother, when you
stopped suddenly and pulled to the side of the street. I started to call
out to you but then I saw where you were running. There was a young girl,
about nine or so, lying on the ground under a large oak tree. I saw you go
to her and check her over and that is when I saw that her arm was at a
weird angle and that she was unconscious. I started to pull my cell phone
out and call 911 when you calmly pulled something from your blouse. I
stepped closer to see what you were doing and I got the shock of my
life. You opened a vial that was attached to the necklace around your
neck. You sprinkled the powder that was contained in the vial on the girls
arm and on her head. You then sat back on your heels and started to chant
something. I stepped a little closer and then I heard what you were
chanting. I will remember those exact words for the rest of my life. You
said, "As I say this three times, heal her arm, heal her arm, heal her
arm. Let her head be clear and awake pain free." After you said this chant
three times, I saw her arm straighten and then the girl woke up. The little
girl sat up and looked at you and you asked her how she was feeling. The
girl replied that she was fine but then asked how did she got down from the
tree. You told her that she had fallen asleep in the tree and that you were
afraid that she would fall out so you got her down and then woke her
up. The girl gave you a questioning look but you just smiled at her and she
accepted what you said as the truth. She then jumped up and said that she
must be getting home and she ran next door to her house. I wanted to ask
you then how you did that but I was too shocked to move. I just stood there
behind a tree and watched you leave.  That is when I started to look up
your past and I discovered that you came from a long line of witches.  And
I dare you to tell me that you don't and that you are not a witch. I know
that you are."

        Shelly remember the incident that Jane spoke of well. It was the
first time that she had healed someone without her mother's help. She was
indeed driving home from making her mother's deliveries and she saw the
young girl fall from the tree. She tried to think of a way out of this or
to explain it away but she knew that Jane had seen it all and that she was
much too smart to be bullshitted. Shelly also knew the longer she took to
answer Jane's question the harder it was to deny Jane's claim. She was
trapped in a corner and she knew it.

        "Okay lets just say for arguments sake that you are right, that I
am a witch and my mother is a witch and my grandmother was a witch and so
on. What do you want to keep all of this under your hat and not say
anything?"

        "Nothing." Jane replied seriously.

        "Nothing, there has to be something. You did not go to all this
trouble to do the research on my family for nothing. You have to want
something from me."

        "No, I really don't want anything. I would like to get to know you
and see if we could be friends. I have seen you around school since we both
were freshmen and now we are starting our senior year and I have always
wanted to get to know you.  But we never had any classes together and you
seemed to be so serious all the time that I have been afraid to approach
you. I know that maybe I started us out on the wrong foot but I knew that I
was running out of time and I was grasping at straws. When I called out to
you the other day I did not intend to say anything about knowing that you
are a witch but you were in such a hurry that I had to do something or the
chance for us to get to know each other would be gone forever. Maybe I
screwed up and if I did I am sorry."

        "You did all of this just to see if we could be friends?" Shelly
asked still not believing her ears. This was a weird girl but she had to
admit that she had guts to try something like this.

        "Yes." Jane said and Shelly looked closely into her eyes to see if
she could see inside of her but again she was blocked from seeing what Jane
was really thinking or feeling but something inside of her made her believe
that Jane was telling the truth.

        "Can I have some time to think about this and in the mean time you
promise to keep quite about what you think you know?"

        "I will never say anything to anyone about what I know, no matter
what your decision is." Jane said.

        "I believe you." Shelly said as she got up to leave.

        "Call me?" Jane called after her.

        "Maybe..." Shelly replied as she went out the bedroom door.

        Shelly had spent the afternoon riding around in her car with her
music blasting as she tried to figure it all out. But she could not come to
any conclusion or a solution to her problem. She had not told her mom that
she needed to talk to her when she got home but Shelly knew that her mom
would come knocking on her door and sure enough she did.

        "So how did the visit go?" her mom asked as she sat down on the
edge of the bed where Shelly was laying.

        "She knows it all. She has somehow traced our family back to
Cassandra. I will have to give her credit for that. I did not think anyone
would be able to accomplish that feat. She doesn't know every detail but
she knows enough. And I did screw up. She saw me cure that little girl back
in June. You remember me telling you about that."

        "Yes I was very proud of you. That was your first healing and you
did it so well.  That was when I knew that you were ready and did not need
my help anymore."

        "Well I need your help now. I don't know what to do. She says that
she will keep quite about us and I believe her, even though I cannot see
inside of her.  That is the thing that I find so disturbing. Why can't I
see her feelings, as I can everyone else's? And how was she able to get so
close to me when I was healing that girl. I checked very carefully before I
did anything and I couldn't see or sense anyone in the area but she was
there, she saw the whole thing. She knew every last detail. I screwed up so
bad and I don't know how. Maybe I am the worse witch this family has ever
produced! I am so sorry to disappoint you, I want you to be proud of
me. And I want to be one of the best witches this family has ever produced
not the worse one!" Shelly said as she felt her eyes tear up.

        Her mom pulled Shelly up to her and hugged her firmly and Shelly
let the tears go. All the frustration and shame that she was feeling came
pouring out. She could not stop the tears and she hugged her mother
tightly. She just felt so ashamed of herself for letting someone in on
their family secret. She could hear her mother assuring her but the words
fell on deaf ears. Finally, when all the tears were gone, her mother
released her; she gave Shelly a soft smile. Then she got up and went to
Shelly's bathroom and return with a wet washcloth. Shelly sat there and
allowed her mother to wipe her face of the tears that had run down her
cheeks. It felt comforting for some reason to be treated as a child
again. When her mother was done, she put the washcloth down.

        "I want you to listen to me and believe in what I am going to tell
you. It is the truth as I have always been honest with you. When you did
something wrong, I have told you and was strict in my corrections. And when
you have done something good I have praised you. I have never held anything
back, good or bad. You know that right?"

        "Yes, I know that. You have been a good mother and teacher. I just
wish that I was a better student." Shelly replied and she felt the tears
wanting to flow again."

        "Now hush up that crying and listen to me!" Shelly's mom said in a
voice that Shelly knew meant business. She wiped the tear that was about to
run down her face and sat up straighter as she knew she was about to be
taught another hard lesson.

        "When you were born and I held you for the first time I knew that
you were going to be special. I could feel the powers within you. And when
your grandmother, god rest her soul, held you for the first time, she told
me the exact same thing. We both knew that you were going to be the best
witch this family has ever produced since Cassandra. We both worked hard
with you and when your grandmother died, her last words were to tell you
how proud she was of you. I have withheld that from you until I felt that
you were ready to hear it and would not let it go to your head. But I think
you need to hear it now.  As far as screwing up, you didn't. Jane is a very
smart girl and she's very strong willed just like you are. When she sets
her mind to do something then by hell she gets it done.  She was determined
to find out who and what you were and she did not stop until she did.  And
seeing you healing that girl was not the start of all of this, it started
long before then.  So stop feeling so sorry for yourself and get your
backbone straight. I don't want to hear all this screwing up crap and how
bad a witch you are, that is bullshit. I taught you better than that!"

        Shelly was taken aback by what her mother was telling her and she
felt herself getting her strength back. She suddenly knew what she had to
do and that made her feel a lot better but then some of her mother's words
struck her like a bat to her head.

        "Just how do you know so much about Jane and when all this
started?"  Shelly asked.

        "You are not the only witch in this house, you know. I checked her
out as soon as you told me about her." Her mother said as she gave her a
slight grin.

        "If you already know all of this, then tell me and I can be done
with this girl."  Shelly said.

        "I can't, you have to figure this out on your own."

        "Somehow I just knew that you were going to say that. You never let
me get off easy."

        "No I don't. That is why you have called me a bitch instead of a
witch at times."  Her mom said and she laughed when she saw the
embarrassment on Shelly's face.

        "You sensed that, I thought that you can't sense things from people
that you love or love you." Shelly said and then it hit her like a ton of
bricks. Jane, love, and not being able to enter her body or sense when she
was around, it all came crashing down on her. It suddenly made sense to her
but then it made no sense at all. Jane was a girl and so was she. She was
not interested in girls or boys for that matter. But then she did realize
that she paid more attention to girls than boys, but she had always figured
that was because she was a girl. But then again, here she was a senior and
never been on a date, in fact had turned down so many that she no longer
was asked out. Then she remembered reading all of the family history in the
journals and there was always a mention of a close woman friend. Then she
thought about her mother's best friend, Miss Reed, and how close the two of
them seemed to be. She thought about how they took so many trips
together. Her mind was flooded with so many thoughts and questions but she
was afraid to ask her mother about them.

        "You just figured it all out didn't you?" Her mother asked as she
sat watching the light come on inside her daughter's head.

        "I think so; you and Miss Reed are...?"

        "Lovers, yes." Her mother replied honestly.

        "What about Dad?"

        "I love your father to death and he is the best friend that I have
ever had. And he knows about Christy and I. He knew it before we were
married and he accepted that part of me. But for me to have you, I needed a
man and I picked the best man that I could. The man I loved as a friend and
whom I knew loved me. I knew that he would be a great father to you and
love us both with all of his heart. And I was right, he has done that, he
has given us both all that he has to give and then some and I will go to my
grave loving him for that. But Christy and I have a special love too and I
cannot do without her. She accepts the fact that I will never leave your
father for her and she takes what I can give her. And I keep the two
separate. When I am with Christy, I love her with all my heart and when I
am with your father, I love him with all my heart. That may sound confusing
but it is the truth. Can you understand this and how I feel about your
father?"

        "Yes I can. I know that you love him. I can see that in your eyes
and Miss Reed makes more sense now. But now I have a question."

        "Shoot."

        "Since I cannot see into Jane does that mean that she will be my
Miss Reed?"

        "I can't answer that question because I don't know. I know that she
has feelings for you and that is what is blocking you from entering her
body or sensing when she is around. I also know that you find her
intriguing but what happens between you two is up to the two of you. Become
her friend, as she wants you too and see what happens. Maybe sparks will
fly or maybe they won't but you need to find out. I like Jane, she is a
smart girl and you could do worse but she will be a handful. I can see a
lot of the same traits in her that I see in you and that will cause you
trouble but sometimes conflict adds to the whole thing."

        "Okay, I was thinking about doing that. She is interesting that is
for sure and she would make a good friend. I do know that already. But how
did you know that she wanted us to be friends? I did not tell you that."

        "You two were not the only one's in her bedroom today. I had to
check out what she knew and to make sure that what I sensed in her the
first time was real.  But I promise you this, I will never spy on you
again. You are on your own from now on.  The only time that I will be in
the same room with the two of you is when and if you should bring her here
to formally introduce us. I have gone as far as I can with this and I don't
want too know anything that goes on between you two unless you tell me. And
I do hope that you do. I admit I am very curious as to what will happen."
Her mom said with a mischievous grin.

        "I bet you are. You know that could be my revenge on you for not
telling me all of this to begin with. I have worried myself to death over
this. I may just keep you guessing." Shelly said with a mischievous grin
that matched her mother's.

        "I know that you worried yourself to death over this and I am sorry
that I could not help you but like I said, You had to figure this out on
your own. And I am afraid that you will have lots more worry to come but it
will be a good worry. I say this not because I know through witchcraft but
because I have been in your shoes before and I know the steps that you are
taking. They can be fun but also not without some pain.  Oh, one more
thing, you had better keep me informed about you two. I will die of
curiosity if you don't."

        "Oh you know I will. I tell you everything and you know it."

        "I do but I suspect that you will not be telling be quite
everything from now on."

        "Mother!" Shelly said as she felt her face get warm from
embarrassment.

        Her mother laughed as she hugged her daughter and then placed a
soft kiss to her forehead. "Now get some sleep, you will need it." Her mom
said as she got up.

        "Mom..." Shelly said as her mother got to the door.

        "Will you tell me more about you and Miss Reed some day?"

        "You know I will, remember that you have to write about my life in
the journal after I am gone and she is definitely a part of my life."

        Shelly tried to sleep after her mother had left but she found that
she was only tossing and turning or looking up at the ceiling. Her mind was
going about three directions at once. First, there was Jane, and what she
was going to do about her. Then came the realization that her mother was a
lesbian or at least bi. Thirdly, was the fact that she was probably a
lesbian and this idea began to make more and more sense to her. She had
never liked boys and she did notice how the other girls in her class looked
and what they were like. But, she just had too much to do with helping her
mom with her business, schoolwork and then learning her craft, to really
focus on her own urges and desires.  When she did masturbate, she usually
let her mind go blank and just concentrated on how her fingers were
touching her breasts and her clit. She did not have any one thing on her
mind. She finally got up and took the piece of paper that she had found in
her purse after leaving Jane's house. On it was Jane's cell phone number,
how Jane was able to get it into her purse, she would never know. But then
Jane was doing a number of things to her that she was unable to figure
out. She picked up her cell phone and dialed the number but at the first
ring, she hung up realizing that she had no clue as to what she was going
to say to her. When she had left Jane earlier in the day she had made sure
that she was cold and aloof. "I can't just turn around and be nice to her
can I?" Shelly thought to herself but before she could answer that
question, her cell phone rang and Shelly knew who it had to be.

        "Hello"

        "Shelly, is that you? Did you just call me?"

        "Yes, I did, sorry for hanging up on you but my mother walked into
my room to tell me goodnight." Shelly told Jane regretting having to tell
her a white lie.

        "That is okay, I understand how that is. So what did you want
anyway?"

        "I didn't wake you did I, I can call back some other time if you
like." Shelly said hoping to change the subject, as she herself did not
know what she wanted.  She just picked up the phone and dialed without
thinking it through and that was definitely not like her to do something
impulsive like that.

        "No, I was awake. I could not sleep so I was on my computer playing
Cubis."

        "Oh, I love that game, how far have you gone?" Glad to be off the
subject of why she had called in the first place.

        "I have been up to level forty nine but I can't seem to get past
that last stage."

        "Well I got you there, I have been through level fifty twice and
was starting my third round when mom made me turn off the computer and go
to bed."

        "Damn girl, you are going to have to show me how you did that. But
now back to what you called about, what's up?"

        Shelly swore under her breath, as Jane was not going to let her off
the hook. "Ah, I was wondering if you wanted to go to the mall with me
tomorrow afternoon.  I need to get me some new shoes for school. The ones I
have are from last year and they are worn out. I still would wear them but
mom swears that she will throw them out soon, and make me go barefoot to
school if I don't go and replace them."

        Jane laughed and then said, "I would love too, I get home from
church at about twelve thirty, you can pick me up then if you would like."

        "That will be great, I will see you then."

        "Wait a minute before you hang up. I need to ask you something."

        "What?" Shelly asked.

        "Does this mean that you forgive me for spying on you when you
healed that girl and then looking up your family history behind your back?
I know that was wrong of me but after seeing you heal that girl, I knew
there was something strange about you. I really did not know that you were
a witch and all the women in your family before you were witches when I
followed you home that day."

        "First off, I haven't admitted to you that I am a witch, yet. And
another thing, you never said that you were spying on me or that you were
actually following me when I used that potion to heal the girl. You just
said that you were going in the same direction as I was."

        "Ooo..., I kind of told on myself there. Sorry about that too. But
if you used a potion to heal the girl then you are a witch, right?"

        "If it will make you happy, I am a witch and I come from a long
line of witches, going all the way back to Cassandra. But that is our
little secret, right. I need you to promise me that you will never tell
another soul."

        "I won't, that will go with me to my grave, I promise. Thank you
for trusting me with your secret."

        "Well you already knew anyway, I might as well admit to it."

        "I did know but I didn't know; if you know what I mean."

        "Yea, I know what you mean. Witches are only in books and are not
really real so you did not quite believe what you know you saw."

        "Exactly, I am happy you are so cool about it and all. And I am
glad that you trust me even though you don't know me very well yet."

        "I know enough about you to trust you on that but no more spying
and looking at things behind my back. If you want to know something then
just ask me."

        "Deal, but I have to get off the phone now mom just peaked in my
door and gave me a dirty look, which means to get off the phone and go to
sleep, so I will see you tomorrow?"

        "Yea, I will be there at twelve thirty to pick you up."

        "Great, see you then, night."

        "Goodnight" Shelly replied as she turned off her phone and went
back to bed, only this time there was no tossing and turning, she feel
right to sleep.

        The next morning, Shelly got up feeling good and after realizing
that she was going to be meeting Jane in a few hours, a little
nervous. When she told her mom that she was going with Jane to the mall
that afternoon, she got a knowing smile from her and that made her
blush. This only made her mother smile bigger and she blushed more.
Finally, she had to tell her mother to stop smiling at her and as she did
this, her father walked into the room asking what they were talking
about. At this point Shelly gave up and went back to her room where she
could be nervous without her mom giving her that damn knowing smile. She
took her time trying to figure out what to wear, nothing seem to be
right. Finally, she gave up on that too and put on a simple tee shirt and
jeans. That, she decided, would have to do. At about twelve, she left the
house avoiding her mother entirely and headed towards Jane's house.

        "Hiya," Jane said as she got into the car. Shelly noticed that Jane
was wearing the same thing that she was except her tee shirt was black and
Shelly's was red.  She also noticed that Jane smelled nice she had on a
perfume that she did not recognize but it did smell nice on her. Then
Shelly realized that Jane was waiting on her to reply.

        "Oh, hiya yourself, I was lost in space there for a moment. Sorry."
Shelly said.

        "I am glad you decided to invite me to go with you. I know that I
started us off on the wrong foot."

        "Tell you what, let's just start over right here and now. I will
forget all of that and you forget that I am a witch, deal?"

        "Deal!" Jane replied and she held out her hand to Shelly, who took
it and tried not to notice how soft Jane's hand was.

        The conversation started slowly as they tried to find a starting
point in their friendship. They really were complete strangers and they had
a lot to find out about each other. But slowly as they walked around the
mall talking, they began to find that common ground. They had similar taste
in music with the exception of Jane liking hip-hop and Shelly detesting
it. Their taste in clothes was the same as they both liked to be
comfortable and tight fitting cloths did not suit them. Once they got the
basics down then the conversation went smoother and even though Shelly
quickly found the shoes that she needed, they stayed at the mall until it
closed at six. From there they stopped at a pizza place to eat and Shelly
did not drop Jane off until nine that evening.

        As Shelly drove home, she decided that having Jane as a friend
might not be such a bad idea. She was not sure what sexual orientation Jane
was but then again she was just trying to figure out the same thing about
herself. But after discovering that her mother was bi-sexual, Shelly was
coming to the conclusion that she may be the same way. But then she
concluded that she did not have to answer these questions tonight, she had
time to figure it all out. Her mother did stop in that night after she had
gotten out of the shower and was settling into bed.

        "So how did it go sweetheart?" Her mom asked as she sat on the edge
of the bed.

        "Okay, I guess." Shelly replied.

        "Just okay?" her mom asked with arched eyebrows.

        "Well, maybe a little better than okay."

        "Just a little better?" Her mom asked again raising her eyebrows.

        "Okay, it went great. Jane is a nice girl and I think that we will
become friends.  Anything after that I'm not sure." Shelly said wanting to
be angry with her mother for prying, but in the end, she could not help but
to smile. She then proceeded to tell her mom everything that had happened
and everything about Jane that she could remember.  Her mom gave Shelly
another knowing smile as she left the room making Shelly wonder just how
much her mom really knew about what was going to happen between her and
Jane.

        Monday after school and after picking up her deliveries, Shelly
stopped back by the high school and picked up Jane and they made her
deliveries together.  Shelly usually used this time to think about and go
over her spells but she found it was a lot more fun having Jane to talk
too. It made the deliveries go by faster but then she realized that it went
by too fast. Before she knew it she was dropping Jane back off at the
school. She ended up calling Jane again that night and talking to her until
they were forced to hang up. They then settled into a routine of a couple
of days a week Jane helping Shelly to make her deliveries. That weekend,
they went to the movies on Friday night and then again on Saturday
night. Before the weekend was out Shelly knew that she had a new best
friend but she was still not sure what else would happen. She liked being
friends with Jane and she was sure that Jane like being friends with
her. The rest of it was still up in the air. Shelly knew that Jane never
talked of boys and she didn't either. And neither had said nor done
anything to indicate where they stood sexually. Shelly did know that she
had begun to feel things for Jane that went beyond friendship. She talked
to her mom about this and her mom only said to take it as it came. She and
Jane would eventually work it out one way or the other. But her mom made
her invite Jane over for dinner the following Friday night. Shelly was not
sure she liked the idea but she could not say no to her mother and never
could. So Friday night arrived and Shelly met Jane at the door.

        "Hi, come on in." Shelly told Jane. Then as Jane entered the house
Shelly whispered "Don't worry we keep the live bats and frog eyes in the
basement."  This caused Jane to laugh and Shelly saw the tension that was
showing on her face disappear.

        "So what is so funny?" Shelly's mom asked as she and Shelly's
father entered the room.

        "Oh nothing Mom," Shelly replied and before her mom could follow up
with another question as Shelly knew she would, she started to introduce
Jane to her parents.

        "Jane this is my mom, Amanda and my father Jay. Mom and Dad this is
Jane."  Shelly said.

        "It is nice to meet you Mrs. Collins, Mr. Collins. And thank you
for inviting me into your home and to dinner." Jane said as she reached out
and shook both of their hands.

        "We are happy to have you and you can call us Amanda and Jay. We
are not that formal around here." Amanda said. "Now let's all go into the
dining room and eat. I don't know about you two but I am starving to
death." Amanda said as she led them all into the dining room.

        The dinner went better than Shelly thought it would but then she
realized that as the dinner went along that her mother was very skillful at
drawing people out. Before they had gotten half way through the dinner, she
had Jane talking away. Then after dinner when they were all in the living
room talking, came the inevitable stories about her childhood. Shelly tried
to stop them before her Mom got started but she knew that was not going to
happen. Every embarrassing thing that she had ever done came out much to
her displeasure and as she looked at Jane, she saw that she was taking it
all in. At about ten, Shelly's father begged off and headed toward bed as
he worked in construction and by ten he was worn out and ready for
sleep. Once he had left the subject of conversation changed and by all
people, Shelly's mother.

        "So is this house what you thought it would be, considering two
witches live here?'" Amanda asked.

        "Mother! Don't ask her that." Shelly said giving her mother a dirty
look.

        Jane was at first taken back by the question but she quickly got
her wits about her and replied, "Well, I will admit that I was not sure
what I expected to see.  I know Shelly and she seems as normal as anyone
else seems and after meeting you, then you seem normal. So, no it was not
what I expected to see but at the same time I am not really sure what I
expected."

        "We are as normal as anyone else, we just have special abilities
that most people don't have. But that is why we keep a low profile. The
witch hunts have long since ended but at the same time there is no use
giving anyone a reason to think about starting them over. The religious
right has taken over this country and they would love to get their hands on
us."

        "Mother, Jane is not going to say anything. I know that she won't."
Shelly said giving her mother a real dirty look. But Jane just smiled at
Shelly and put her hand on her arm and Shelly felt calmed by that act.

        "That is okay. I know what your mother is saying and why she is
saying it. Mrs.  Collin, uh... Amanda, I will never say anything to anyone,
not even my parents. I do go to church every Sunday and on Wednesdays but
that does not mean that I agree with everything my preacher says. I chose
to believe what is right for me and I disregard the rest. And I do not want
any harm or pain to ever come to Shelly. So your secret is safe with me."

        "I knew that it would be, but I had to bring the subject up."
Amanda said.

        "Mother, I think that you still owe Jane an apology."

        "No, that is fine. I knew that she had to tell me that." Jane said
again squeezing Shelly's arm.

        "That is not what I am talking about, is it mother?" Shelly said as
she put her hand on top of Jane's.

        "No, it isn't. Jane I need to tell you something and don't be
scared. And don't worry, I will never do it again. But when Shelly told me
about you discovering our secret, I did some investigating of my own. I
went to your house that night you sprang your news on Shelly and I was in
your bedroom as you were sleeping. Then using a spell, I entered your body
and peeked into your mind. Don't worry, I did not explore too deeply, I
only wanted to find out what your motives were and once I found that they
were good. I left your body and your mind. And don't worry, I did not find
out anything about you that I did not need to know. Like I said, I got what
I needed to know and then left."

        "Did you do the same thing?" Jane asked looking straight at Shelly.

        "I tried but I could not get in for some reason. And like my
mother, I will never try again. That I will promise you." Shelly replied.

        "Why could you do it and not Shelly? I want to understand all of
this." Jane asked directing her question at Amanda.

        "Just because we have the ability to do something that does not
mean that we are always successful. Shelly is blocked from entering your
body and I am not.  It does not mean that I am a better witch than she is,
only that I am not blocked. In fact, Shelly has the ability and the talent
to become the greatest witch this family has ever produced since
Cassandra." Amanda said.

        "Okay I accept both of your apologies, and I accept that you both
will keep your promises as I will keep mine. So we are all back on even
ground. Now let's go on to something else. So will you all tell me what
it's like to be a witch?"

        The three of them stayed up until one in the morning as Shelly and
her mom told Jane all about being a witch. What they could do and what was
myth, made up by creative writers of the past and present. They would have
stayed up longer, but Jane's cell phone rang and it was her mother
demanding to know why she was not home by her curfew. But Amanda got the
phone from Jane as she was trying to explain that she had lost track of the
time, etc. Amanda again worked her charm on Jane's mother and soon Jane was
off the hook as long as she left right then and headed straight home.

        "She is a nice girl, you could do worse, you know." Amanda said
after Jane had left.

        "I know mom, I know." Shelly said, wondering if it would work out
in the end.

        Saturday Jane and Shelly went back to their normal routine of going
out to the movies or something and then the following week Jane would help
Shelly make her deliveries. For the next couple of months they continued to
grow closer as friends. They spent as much time together as they could but
Shelly was no closer in determining where she stood with Jane. She did now
have a fantasy to masturbate by and that was Jane.  Shelly was sure now
that she, like the rest of the women in her family, was lesbian as she was
constantly thinking of Jane. The problem was she had no idea as how to
approach Jane about this. They were best friends and Shelly was able to let
her hand linger on Jane's hand or her arm but that was as far as Shelly
could take it. She talked to her mom constantly, finding out how she had
met Mrs. Reed and she learned a lot but none of it seemed to help her when
it came to Jane. In the end, she was left to her own devices but
unfortunately, she had no devices to use, but then fate stepped in.

        It was about a week before school let out for Christmas break when
Shelly's world came crashing down. She had decided that over the break, she
was finally going to talk to Jane about how she felt about her. The tension
was becoming unbearable and Shelly had to make a move soon or go crazy. She
had talked to her mother about this and she had said that it was about time
that Shelly did something. Shelly had noticed that Jane had been acting
strange around her for the last couple of weeks. It was as if she wanted to
say or do something, then at the last second would change her mind. Shelly
kept trying to pry whatever it was out of her but Jane would not give. But
then on that fateful Saturday night Jane finally told Shelly what was on
her mind. They had gone bowling and was now sitting in Shelly's car outside
of Jane's house.

        "I would like to ask you to do something for me but you can't ask
me why, I can't tell you. Just tell me if you will do it for me or
not. Okay?" Jane asked and Shelly could see Jane's hands shaking. "Maybe
now I will finally find out what has been bothering Jane so much." Shelly
thought to herself.

        "Sure, I will do anything for you. All you have to do is ask."
Shelly replied.

        "I want you to make a love potion for me." Jane said.

        "A love potion? Why? Whom do you want to use it on? Who is it?"
Shelly asked as she felt her heart breaking into a thousand pieces.

        "I can't say. Don't make me tell you, I can't. Will you do it for
me?" Jane asked.

        "We don't believe in love potions. That is not the way to make
someone fall in love with you. Who is it that you want to fall in love with
you? You have not told me anything about any boy that you liked." Shelly
asked desperately wanting an answer to her questions.

        "Please don't ask me to tell you, I can't. Just will you do it for
me?" Jane pleaded and Shelly could see that Jane was in real pain.

        "Let me think about it, okay?" Shelly said.

        "Call me tomorrow and let me know." Jane said as she got out of the
car and hurried inside her house.

        Shelly backed out of the driveway and made it about four blocks
before she had to pull over. As soon as she got the car stopped, Shelly
felt the last piece of her heart break and she started to sob. The pain was
too much to bear and she had to let it out, but even after crying for ten
minutes and after she had gotten her emotions somewhat under control, she
still did not feel any better. She had lost Jane even before she had a
chance to find out if there could be something more between them. She was
able to sneak into the house and into bed without having to face her
mother. She was not ready to talk to her yet. The next day she moped about
the house and for once, her mother did not ask her what was wrong. She
seemed to know that Shelly was not ready to talk to her.  She did not call
Jane the next day and she did not answer her cell phone when she saw that
Jane was calling her. In fact, after the first couple of calls from Jane
she turned off her phone entirely. The following week she was able to avoid
Jane but she had to work at it. Jane was everywhere and she kept trying to
call but Shelly would not answer. She also continued to mope about the
house being surly to both her mother and father but they seemed to know
that something was wrong and let it go for the most part. But then on
Saturday night when she was usually with Jane, Shelly was at home with her
mother and father feeling sorry for herself. Shelly and her mom were
cleaning up the kitchen after supper when Shelly's mouth got the better of
her. Shelly was being her usual surly self and unknowing to Shelly, her
mother was at the end of her ropes.

        "I know that something has been bothering you this week. Has
something happened between you and Jane? We can talk about it if you want."
Her mom said innocently enough.

        "I don't want to ever hear that fucking girl's name again. And you
can mind your own god damn business." Shelly said and then she saw the fire
in her mother's eyes and she knew that she had royally fucked up.

        "Come with me young lady, we are going to have a long overdue
talk."  Her mother said grabbing Shelly by the arm and dragging her out of
the kitchen.  Shelly tried at first to pry her mother's fingers away from
her arm as they hurt but her mother had death grip on her arm. They passed
Shelly's father as they made their way down the hall to Shelly's room but
he quickly realized that this was the time to keep his mouth shut and he
stepped aside allowing them to continue. When they got to Shelly's bedroom,
her mom spun her around and Shelly ended up sitting on the edge of her bed.
Shelly had never seen her mother so mad in her life and for the first time
she was scared of her. She watched as her mother locked the door and she
went over to Shelly's dresser and picked up her hairbrush. Shelly knew that
she would not be sitting down tomorrow and she knew that she deserved it.

        "You have about thirty seconds to start talking before I start
wearing your ass out, young lady!"

        It only took Shelly about two seconds to start crying and then she
jumped up and flung herself into her mother's arms. "Oh mother, Jane loves
someone else. I lost her before I ever got a chance to tell her how I feel
about her." Shelly said between sobs. She did not hear her mother drop the
hairbrush but she did feel her mother wrap her in her arms and hold her
tight as she cried for about the hundredth time that week.  It took her
about twenty minutes of crying and a lot of soothing words from her mother
to calm down again.

        "Okay, now sit down and tell me what this is all about." Her mom
said as she sat down and padded the bed beside her.

        "Last Saturday night, Jane asked me to make a love potion for her."
Shelly said and she felt the tears start to flow again.

        "Now stop that crying, that is not going to get us anywhere." Her
mother told Shelly as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "Did she tell you
what who the potion was going to be used on?"

        "No she would not tell me."

        "Did she tell you if it was for her to use to make someone fall in
love with her?"

        "No."

        "Did she tell you anything about why she wanted it?"

        "No, she said she couldn't tell me."

        "Has she mentioned anyone that she liked or had a crush on?"

        "No"

        "Have you tried to talk to her about it?"

        "No, I could not face her or talk to her, it hurt too much."

        "So you don't know jackshit and you have jumped to a bunch of
conclusions that may or may not be true. Does that about sum it up? I mean
she could have wanted the potion to make her parents fall in love with each
other again. That is possible too, isn't it?"

        "Yes mother." Shelly said realizing that her mother had summed up
everything in a few simple words. She didn't know jackshit about what or
who Jane wanted the potion for.

        "And now you have probably made Jane wonder if you hate her as the
potion may not be for her to use to make someone fall in love with her. I
think that maybe you and her need to have a long talk and you should have
done it when she asked you or at the very latest, the next day." Her mother
said and Shelly felt even worse than she did before but now for a
completely different reason.

        "What should I do now?"

        "I think you need to have a talk with Jane and then decide whether
you will make the potion for her but you know how we feel about love
potions don't you."

        "Yes I do."

        "And you know that friends do not abandon friends when they may
need them most. Jane could be in trouble right now and you just left her
hanging in the wind. Maybe she is in love with someone else and is about to
make the greatest mistake of her life.  And you left her with no one to
talk to. Friends don't do that to friends.  They help them no matter how
much it hurts to do so. And even if they end up losing the friendship. Am I
making my point?"

        "Yes mother, quite clearly."

        "So do you know what you are going to do now about this mess that
you have made?"

        "No, but I think I can figure it out. This is something I have to
do on my own."

        "Yes you do and I trust that you will do the right thing. But if
you need me, then ask me okay. We have always been able to talk before and
maybe if we had talked last Saturday night then you would not have been so
miserable this week or at least you would know if you had a right to feel
miserable. And you would not have made your father's and my life
miserable."

        "I know I am sorry about how I have acted this week."

        "Well since you brought that up we need to do something about what
you said to me a few minutes ago. Do you want to talk about this anymore
before we get started?"

        "No ma'am, I can take it from here but if I need you, I will come
to you and ask."

        "Okay let's get this over with." Her mom said.

        Shelly got up and picked up the hairbrush from the floor. She gave
it to her mother then she lay across her mother's lap. It had been ten
years since her mother had spanked her but she knew that her mother could
not and would not let her get away with saying what she did to her. Once
she was settled on her mother's lap, she felt the first swat of the
hairbrush smack her ass. It stung like hell and the second one stung just
as bad. She did not try to hide her tears or resist the spanking. Her
mother worked her ass over good, not leaving one place untouched. Shelly
was just grateful that she had sassed her mom when she still had her jeans
on. Her mother was true to her word, as she did not stop the spanking until
Shelly's ass was worn out and she was in real pain.  But the pain in her
heart was worse than the one on her ass.

        Later that night Shelly was on her bed laying on her stomach
thinking and trying to get the sting in her ass to go away. It took her
until midnight to figure out what to do and then she went downstairs and
made Jane her love potion. It took her about three hours to make the
potion, as she wanted to make it perfect and then she went back to her desk
and sat gingerly onto her desk chair. She then started to write a letter to
Jane.

        Jane,

        I am sorry that I have been such a shit this week. When you asked
me to make a love potion for you, I will admit that you threw me for a
loop. I have decided to make you the potion as you can see. But I must say
something. If this is for you to use then I must tell you that this is not
the way to make someone love you. It is not real or natural.  If you want
someone to love you, then love them. If they return the love then you know
that it is real and meant to be. If they don't, then you know that you must
move on and find someone that will return that love that you have in your
heart.

        I would love to talk to you about this but if you don't want to
talk to me because of the way I have acted toward you this past week, then
I understand.

        Your friend forever,
        Shelly.

        Ps: To make the potion work, you need to divide the vial into two
parts. You will drink half and the other person will drink the other
half. You can place it into a soft drink or whatever it does not
matter. Once the powder is in the drinks then say the following three times
over the drinks concentrating on the words as you say them and what they
mean: "Lover, Lover, let this be, make this person fall in love with me. As
I say this, it shall be."

        Shelly folded the letter and placed it and the vial of love potion
in an envelope.  She then went to bed trying to sleep but it would not
come. She was too scared that this would be the end of her and Jane but she
had done what she could and what she felt that she needed to do. She lay in
her bed until six AM when she gave up on sleep and got up.  She went to the
kitchen and started coffee for her parents and when she heard them stirring
she put on breakfast. She always helped her mother to cook but she had
never taken on the task by herself but she felt the need to do something,
to be a part of something.

        "Good morning sweetheart." Her mother said as she entered the
kitchen. "I see that you have started breakfast. Have you been up...?"
Shelly then interrupted her mother by coming to her and giving her a quick
hug.

        "What was that for?" her mother asked as she brushed the hair from
her daughter's face.

        "I just needed a hug this morning." Shelly replied and she felt her
heart hurting all over again.

        "Well that was not much of one, come here." Her mother said as she
took Shelly into her arms, this time holding her tight and not releasing
her. Shelly could feel her mother running her fingers through her hair as
she did when Shelly was a little girl as she lay her head on her mother's
shoulder. The act made Shelly start feeling better. She began to feel that
all was not lost quite yet.

        "Have you decided what to do about Jane?" her mother asked. Shelly
shook her head yes.

        "When you are ready to talk about it some more then let me know."

        "I will." Shelly replied as she began to pull back from her mother.

        "You know I still have a good feeling about Jane. And I didn't go
visit her last night. I just have that feeling." Her mother told her as she
kissed her on the forehead.

        "I wish I did." Came Shelly's reply.

        "Have faith my sweet daughter, have faith." Her mother said and she
popped her daughter on the bottom as Shelly went back to the stove to start
frying the bacon.

        "Ouch! Hey I am still tender down there. Remember what you did last
night."

        "And whose fault was that young lady." Her mother quipped back.

        "Mine, but still you are the one who made my butt tender." Shelly
said with a smile.

        "And you will never be too old for that to happen again." Her
mother came back.

        "So you say." Shelly replied trying to one up her mother as both
had forgiven each other and now it was just a game of one-upmanship.

        "So are you willing to try to sass me again to find out."

        "I did not say that." Shelly replied because she knew her mother
would have the last word on this matter. She knew she would never be too
old to go over her mother's knee but then she did not plan to give her
another chance.

        "I thought so."

        Her mother then set in helping Shelly cook breakfast and when her
father came in, they sat down for their usual Sunday morning breakfast,
which was filled with lots of talk and kidding. At about ten, Shelly said
that she needed to run a quick errand and said that she would clean up the
kitchen when she came back but her mother told her to take her time as she
and her father would clean up.

        Shelly got up, went to her bedroom, and got the envelope with the
letter and potion. She stuffed the envelope into her purse and headed out
the door. She drove straight over to Jane's house knowing that they would
all be still at church. She opened the screen door and hesitated a second
wondering if she was doing the right thing. Then she gave a kiss to the
envelope and placed it inside the door. She knew now that all that was left
to do was wait on Jane and her response to the letter and the potion.

        Sunday she did not hear from Jane and then Monday still no
response.  Shelly wanted to call her but she felt that the ball was now in
Jane's court and she had to make the next move. Tuesday ran into Wednesday
and still nothing. By now, Shelly knew that she had her answer and that she
would never hear from Jane again. Jane had gotten what she wanted but still
that did not seem like Jane. She just did not seem to be that type of
person. Thursday night Shelly was on her computer chatting to some friends
from Scotland when she got a notice that she had a new email from
Jane. Shelly felt her heart skip a beat and her hands were shaking as she
tried to open the email.  Shelly glanced at it and saw that it was just one
line long and her heart sank to its lowest depth. She knew that it could
not be a good sign. She opened the email and she wanted to scream her
relief.

        Shelly,
        My parents are going out of town for the weekend; can you come over
and spend the weekend with me?"
        Jane

        Shelly did not have to think about her reply nor did she bother to
ask her parents for permission. She would cross that bridge later.

        Jane,
        Yes.
        Shelly

        Shelly then got up, flung herself on the bed, and screamed her
happiness into her pillow. She was so happy, Jane had finally contacted
her, and she wanted her to spend the weekend. That had to be a good sign
but then she thought about the damn potion again.  "What if Jane has
already used it and she just wants to tell me about her new love?"  Shelly
thought to herself but then she blocked that thought from her mind.  She
decided to be happy, wait until tomorrow night, and find out. Maybe her
mother was right after all.  Shelly did not go tell her mother but instead
waited until she heard her mother pass by her door on her way to
bed. Shelly turned her back to the bed and started to make sobbing sounds
knowing that would bring a knock to her door and sure enough, it did.

        "Come in." Shelly sobbed.

        "What is wrong honey?" Her mother asked with a concerned voice as
she sat on the edge of the bed.

        Shelly did not turn over but instead handed the email to her mother
keeping her back to her.

        Shelly waited a couple of seconds then she heard her mother say
"But this is good news isn't it?"

        "Yes it is!" Shelly said as she jumped up and hugged her mother
with a big grin on her face.

        "You little shit! You had me worried there." Her mother said as she
returned the hug that her daughter was giving her.

        "I know, I am sorry but I just had to do that to you." Shelly said
as she released her mother. "So can I go?"

        "I don't know. I should say no just because of that little stunt
you played on me."  Her mother said with a frown on her face.

        "Mother, Pleaseeee..."

        "Well I guess you can." Her mother said, finally smiling.

        "Good I already emailed her back saying yes."

        "Kind of sure of yourself there wasn't you?"

        "I knew that you would let me go, you want to find out what will
happen as much as I do. Now don't you?"

        "Yes, my daughter, I do. Now try to get some sleep tonight and
don't think about tomorrow too much. What will happen, will happen."

        "I will try. And thanks for not asking me what I did about the
potion."

        "That was your decision to make, not mine. But I want a full report
come Sunday night, you hear."

        "What makes you think that I will tell you?" Shelly asked.

        "Because I know that you will be dying to tell me and I will be
dying to know.  We are not so different. You know."

        "I know and I promise a full report come Sunday. And thanks mom."

        "For what?"

        "For being my mom."

        "Well I could not ask for a better child." She said as she gave
Shelly a kiss on the forehead. Then she left Shelly to her thoughts.

        At seven the next evening, Shelly got into her car and headed for
Jane's house.  She had surprised herself by actually being able to sleep
the night before.  But as she put the car into reverse, she could feel her
nervousness go up a notch. It had been rising all day long and now she was
about as nervous as she could get. Jane had not given her a time to arrive
so Shelly was not sure when to leave but she was not about to contact Jane
for fear of Jane changing her mind. So she had waited until now to leave.
But the closer she got to the house the more she wanted to turn back but
she also knew that she would regret that move for the rest of her life. As
she neared Jane's house she slowed down to make sure that Jane's parents
were indeed gone. They were but Shelly found that she was going right on
past Jane's house. She got to the corner and turned right and when she knew
she was out of sight of Jane's house she pulled over. There were children
playing in the yard that she stopped at and she noticed that the mother of
the children came out on the porch to look her over but Shelly's mind was
on other things, mainly calming down.  She knew she had to be completely
calm when she knocked on Jane's door. She closed her eyes and began to
breathe deeply. Slowly she felt some of the tension ease away.  When she
figured that she was as calm as she was going to get, she started her car
and headed around the block only this time she pulled into Jane's
driveway. She took another deep breath and she grabbed her overnight bag
that was sitting in the passenger seat. She got out with a sense of purpose
and walked to the door. As she was about to knock, the door opened and she
was facing Jane for the first time in two weeks.

        "Hi" Jane said and Shelly could tell that there was either
nervousness or tension in her voice.

        "Hi, yourself. How are you doing?" Shelly asked hoping her voice
was perfectly calm but she was not so sure that it was.

        "Okay, I guess, How have you been?" Jane asked.

        "About the same I guess. Can I come in?" Shelly asked as Jane was
still standing in the doorway.

        "Oh god, I am sorry, yes come on in." Jane said as she jumped back
to let Shelly inside.

        Shelly had thought of this house as her second home after she and
Jane had become such great friends but right now, it felt strange. Shelly
came on in the house and she let Jane take her bag. She watched wondering
where Jane would put her bag and saw that she put it in her room. While
that did not mean anything, it did give her a little hope.  When Jane came
back, she offered Shelly a Dr. Pepper and then they went to the den.  The
conversation was strained at best with neither mentioning the past two
weeks or the love potion. They went from subject to subject trying to
finding something to talk about but it was hard. Shelly felt her
nervousness return and she started to feel like she was just here waiting
for the bomb to drop. Finally, Jane suggested that they watch a movie and
Shelly was almost relieved at not having to try to find something to talk
about with her best friend. Jane first made some popcorn but she made
Shelly wait in the den not allowing her to help. When she returned, she put
the movie on and Shelly tried to watch it but she also kept one eye on
Jane. She could see that there was something bothering her.  She was
fidgeting and Jane did not do that. All the times before when Jane watched
a movie, her whole concentration was on the movie but not tonight. Jane was
not watching the movie any more than she was. Jane tried to laugh at all
the right places but Shelly knew that it was not her real laugh, just as
she was faking her own laugh.  Shelly also saw something different in
Jane's eyes but what that was she could not tell. The movie was a long one
and it did not end until about eleven. Shelly was not sure if she was
relieved that it was over as that meant she and Jane would have to
talk. Shelly knew this could not go on all weekend and she decided to have
that talk with Jane that they should have had two weeks ago.

        "Would you like some more Dr Pepper?" Jane asked and before Shelly
could answer, Jane had grabbed her glass and headed into the
kitchen. Shelly knew that something was really wrong and she knew that it
had to be bad for her. Jane was just acting too strange tonight. She was so
jittery that it was almost funny.  Shelly could not stand it any
longer. "This has to end!" Shelly thought to herself. Jane took longer than
it should have to pour two drinks and Shelly was about to go look for her
when she returned carrying the glasses very carefully. She handed Shelly
her drink and sat on the couch. She then turned to face Shelly and her eyes
bore into her. As Shelly tried to think of how to start the conversation,
she took a sip of her drink. She started to say something when she realized
that there was something different about the taste. She took another sip
and tried to figure out what she tasted. There was a very faint bitter
taste in the drink but it was there. All of Shelly's senses went on high
alert and she turned to Jane who was sipping her own coke and looking at
her intensely. Shelly looked into Jane's big brown eyes and it finally hit
her. She knew what was in the drink and she knew what was in Jane's
eyes. Slowly she realized that she had seen the same look in Jane's eyes
before but she never realized what it was but now she did. All the pieces
of her heart that had been broken in an instant was made whole again as she
realized that Jane had put the love potion into her Dr. Pepper and had the
same potion in her own drink. She also realized that she had been seeing
love in Jane's eyes for months and never knew it.  She now knew why Jane
had been following her the day that she healed that little girl and why she
had looked up her family history. It all came together in that
instant. "Now what do I do about all of this?" Shelly asked of
herself. Then she knew what she had to do.

        Without saying a word or taking her eyes off Jane, she put down her
glass and she took Jane's away from her. She then slid over beside of
her. She took her hand and brushed Jane's hair away from her cheek. She
could hear Jane suck in her breath and Shelly felt the need to do the
same. Even though she was trying to control what she was doing, she never
felt in less control in her life. She was not sure how to go about doing
what she was about to do but that was not going to stop her. As she leaned
in, she moved her hand to the back of Jane's neck and pulled her
forward. Jane came willingly and as their lips were about to touch, Shelly
closed her eyes and then she felt Jane's lips on hers.  "Oh god, this feels
so right." Shelly screamed inside her head. She kept the kiss light even
though she just wanted to kiss Jane for all that she was worth. After a
minute or so, Shelly pulled back. She again looked into Jane's eyes and saw
tears begin to fall from her eyes. Shelly gave Jane a sweet smile and she
wiped the tears from her eyes.  She then pulled Jane back in close and
kissed her again. This time the kiss was more intense and after a few
seconds, Shelly opened her mouth and Jane opened hers. The kiss became more
intense and Shelly felt Jane grip her shoulders. They kissed longer this
time as neither wanted the kiss to end but it did. When the kiss ended,
Shelly could not help to caress Jane's face with her fingers. She wanted to
feel every part of it and burn Jane's features in her brain from her cute
upturned nose to her cheeks that were now rosy in color. Shelly moved over
and she pulled on Jane's legs so that they were on the couch.  She then
laid her back so that she was lying with her back to the end of the
couch. Shelly then lay down beside her. She caressed her face and arm as
they both gazed into each other's eyes. Shelly wanted to lose herself in
Jane's eyes and she would have if Jane had not taken the initiative and she
leaned in for another kiss. Shelly returned the kiss with passion and soon
she moved her tongue into Jane's mouth and she felt Jane's tongue press
back against hers. They kissed and kissed and kissed until finally they had
to take a break and calm back down. Shelly watched as Jane's face went from
blissful peace to wrinkles covering her forehead and Shelly knew that Jane
was about to cry again.

        "What is wrong Jane?" Shelly asked as she stroked Jane's face
trying to calm her back down.

        "Oh god, I love you so much and have for a long time. I never
dreamed that this would ever really happen. I know I shouldn't tell you
this but it is the truth and I have to tell you. And there is so much more
I need to tell you..." Jane was saying but then Shelly hushed her by
putting a finger to her lips.

        "I love you too and that is all we need to know tonight. We have
the rest of the weekend to talk about everything else, okay?" Shelly said
and she gave a light kiss to Jane's lips.

        "Okay." Jane said with a smile and then she hooked her hand behind
Shelly's neck and brought her in for another kiss. The kiss was again soft
but they were both becoming more passionate. Shelly wanted to go farther
but she also knew that time was now on her side and she wanted to take it
slow with Jane. She wanted to make it real.  Shelly would kiss Jane's lips
then go to her neck and kiss her there. Then go back to her lips and kiss
some more. Their tongues moved from one mouth to the other and

sometimes it was just the tip of their tongue touching. While they kissed,
Shelly ran her hands along Jane's arms and back and only much later, did
she move to the front and grasp Jane's breasts. They were all so soft and
sensitive. Shelly could feel the nipple poking against Jane's bra and tee
shirt. She teased it a bit before going back to caressing the whole
breasts. It took Jane a little longer to work up the courage to touch
Shelly's breasts but when she did, it was like pure electricity. Shelly
kept her fingers away from Jane's pussy but she did so want to touch her
there, but she settled for Jane's firm ass.  This went on for a couple of
hours as they would take a break every once in a while just to gaze into
each other's eyes. Shelly eventually lay down on her back and she pulled
Jane on top of her. Jane put her head on Shelly's shoulder and allowed
Shelly to run her fingers through her hair and to caress her back until
they both were asleep.


        Late that next morning Shelly woke up when she felt Jane kiss her
lightly on the lips and then ease off her. Shelly lay there for a moment
just enjoying the euphoria that the night before had brought. But that
euphoria was soon broken when she heard a sob come from the kitchen. She
jumped up and ran to the kitchen and she saw Jane sitting on the floor with
her back against the cabinet. She was holding the empty vial that contained
the love potion. Shelly went to her and took Jane into her arms holding her
tight.

        "I have to tell you something" Jane sobbed. "You don't really love
me, I gave you the love potion that you made for me. I am so sorry." Jane
sobbed out and then she really started crying.

        Shelly tried to hush Jane up and talk to her but there was no
calming her down.  Finally, Shelly took Jane by the shoulders and shook her
hard getting her attention. "Now I want you to listen to me and you need to
listen carefully." Shelly demanded of Jane.  This got her attention and
Jane calmed down a bit but she was still crying.  Shelly wiped the tears
from her face and when she stopped crying, Shelly began to talk.

        "First off, I know that you gave me the love potion. I knew it as
soon as I tasted my drink."

        "You did?" Jane asked with a questioning look on her face.

        "Yes, I did and this is the important part I want you to listen to.
Love potions do not work on me. I cannot use a love potion to make someone
love me and in this case, you can't either. You giving it to me or me
giving it to you are the same thing. It doesn't work and it did not work
last night. What we feel for each other is not because of what we drank, it
is because of what we feel in our hearts. I realized that I have felt more
for you than friendship for a while now, maybe not as long as you have but
I feel them all the same. I just didn't know how to tell you."

        "You do?"

        "Yes I do, so get off this floor and wipe your face then kiss
me. Or fuck that, just kiss me now." Shelly said as she leaned in for a
kiss and she felt Jane's lips touch hers and the magic that she felt last
night returned with the same or even more intensity. The kiss lingered for
a few moments as their lips pressed against each other and their mouths
opened. The kiss was so sensual and Shelly wanted it to last forever but
then her stomach growled causing them both to giggle, thus breaking up the
kiss.

        "Well, I guess that answers that. I am hungry and to tell you the
truth I need to pee bad. So lets get up and you start breakfast and I will
be right back."  Shelly said as she got up then helped Jane up. Shelly gave
Jane a last lingering kiss then rushed off to the bathroom before she peed
all over herself. When she got back, Jane had waffles on to cook in their
double waffle skillet, and they soon sat down to eat. As they ate, Shelly
took Jane's hand in hers and that caused Jane to smile.

        "So what do you want to do today?" Shelly asked as they finished
breakfast and was putting the dishes into the dishwasher.

        "I don't know. In a way, I just want to stay here and spend the day
with you alone, just the two of us. But then I have spent the last two
weeks here, trying to decide what to do and making my parents
miserable. And when you did not respond to my calls then I really got
upset. So I need to get out of here for a while." Jane said spilling her
guts to Shelly.

        "I know how you feel, I did the same thing, and I got my ass busted
to prove it."  Shelly confessed.

        "You got spanked, this I have got to hear about. You have to let me
know what you did to get that." Jane stated with eagerness.

        "Well since you are so curious and since it was your fault it
happened, I guess you should know." Shelly said and started to continue
when Jane chimed in "My fault, what did I do."

        "You asked for that stupid love potion and I thought that you had
fallen for some boy or something and that I had lost my chance with you. So
I was acting like a fool and moping around instead of calling you and
making you tell me what was going on."

        "I think we both could have done better at this and thus been
together sooner. And the love potion was a bad idea on my part especially
since it did not work anyway." Jane said.

        "I told you that I could not make a potion for myself. It does not
work that way and don't ask me why, it just doesn't."

        "I know you told me that but you were making it for me and I was
the one using it so I thought that it would work. But it was stupid anyway,
you were right. I do not want you to fall in love with me because of a
potion. If it had worked I would always wonder why you loved me or even if
you really did or was it the potion working."  Jane said and she lowered
her head unable to face Shelly.

        Shelly took her hand and lifted Jane's head gently, "I am honored
that you wanted me so much and I do love you so stop worrying about
it. Besides, it worked out in the end. We may have gone forever waiting for
the other one to make a move. At least you did and in the end, it
worked. We are together now." She said and she leaned in and gave Jane a
light kiss.

        "Yes it did, thank god." Jane said and she kissed Shelly again,
with this kiss lasting longer. "Now get back to the spanking you got, I
have to hear about this."

        "What have you got a spanking fetish, I don't know about." Shelly
said with a laugh.

        "Nooo, but you said it was my fault and I want to know what I did
to cause you to get a spanking." Jane replied with a smile.

        "Okay, I will tell you to kill that curiosity of yours. When you
asked me for the potion and as I said, I thought that you had fallen for
some boy or something. Anyway, mom had been hinting gently all week but not
asking, as I moped around feeling sorry for myself, to tell her what was
going on. I should have talked with her the first day and then I would have
come over here and we would have had a talk but I didn't. I kept silent and
suffered and as you made my parents suffer. So last Saturday night I guess
mom had enough of my behavior and she asked me to talk to her about what
was wrong and if it involved you. I then told her something to the effect
of not wanting to ever hear that fucking girl's name again. And that she
could mind her own god damn business."

        "Oh god, and she let you live after saying that to her." Jane asked
shocked that Shelly would have the nerve to say that to her mother.

        "Well actually she was pretty good about it. After dragging me to
my bedroom and picking up my hairbrush, which I got to remember never to
leave lying out in the open anymore, she asked me again what was
wrong. This time I let it out and poured my guts out to her. Then she made
me feel real smart by asking me all these questions about what I knew about
what you wanted the potion for. Of course, I had no answers and I knew it
should have been me asking you these questions and not her asking me. Once
that was resolved, she put me over her knee and busted my ass
good. Needless to say, I will not be pulling a stunt like that again."

        "I bet not. But you mentioned her asking about me and the potion.
Does she know that you like girls?" Jane asked.

        "Sure, she is the one that made me realize that I liked them and
not boys. When you came along, we talked about what to do about what you
knew. Then as we got to be closer friends and I started to feel things, we
talked about it. Then she let me in on a secret." Shelly told Jane.

        "Okay, I'll bite, what secret is that."

        "This is something you did not discover in your research and even I
did not realize reading all of the journals of the witches that came before
me. All the women in my family have had another woman as a lover. They
married to have a child to pass on the craft. Even my mother has one and my
father knows about it. She told me she loves my father dearly and he knows
about her other lover and is fine with it. So yes she knows, does your
parents?"

        "Yes, when I first developed my crush on you, I talked about it
with my mom.  She was upset at first, but has accepted that is the way I am
and nothing she can do will change what or who I am. She doesn't like it
but she is cool with it." Jane said.

        "That is good; now let's get back to what we are going to do today.
We still have not decided that."

        "Let's just go to the mall and play it by ear from there." Jane
said after thinking a second.

        "Sounds fine with me, let's go." Shelly said as she took Jane by
the hand and led her back to her bedroom. They each took turns in the
bathroom getting refreshed and dressed for a day at the mall. Each put on
jeans and a tee shirt and they set out. Once there, they first walked
around just window shopping and then they started to try on different
outfits. Neither was really going to buy anything, they just enjoyed
laughing, talking, and renewing their friendship and now their budding love
affair.  They stopped at the food court about mid-afternoon. They each got
a taco and a coke and sat at a table in the middle of the court. After they
had eaten and were sipping their cokes, Jane put her hand on the
table. Shelly saw this and she slipped her hand on top of Jane's. They
looked at each other for a second and then Jane smiled. Shelly caressed
Jane's hand for a second then she intertwined her fingers with Jane's. They
were silent for a while just feeling the excitement of new love that their
hands touching in public declared. Neither notice when a few of the girls
from their class came up to them to talk. Shelly felt Jane trying gently to
pull her hand back but Shelly held tight and Jane quickly relented. Shelly
knew it would come out sooner or later and it might as well be now. She
gave Jane a smile, which Jane returned. They both knew that all three girls
noticed them holding hands and they also knew that by nightfall, their
romance would be known by the whole school but neither cared. When they got
up to leave, Shelly did not release Jane's hand and Jane did not try to
pull away. In fact, she walked closer to her and when given the chance,
leaned in against her. They decided to take in an early movie and chose a
drama to watch. They each got a coke and shared a box of popcorn. As soon
as the lights went down, Shelly put her arm around Jane's shoulders and
pulled her in close. Jane let her head fall against Shelly's shoulder and
they settled in. Unlike the previous night, they were able to concentrate
on the movie but Shelly could feel Jane pressed against her and she loved
that feeling.

        On the trip home, they both were mainly quite as they both knew
what was going to happen that night and both were nervous. When they got
home, Shelly went to Jane's bathroom to shower and dress for bed as Jane
went to her parent's bathroom.  Shelly hurried her shower and rushed to
make herself presentable. She was not much for make- up and neither was
Jane so she just dried her hair and put a little of her favorite perfume
on. She then put on her best pair of panties and her sleep tee shirt that
just covered her bottom. She then put a note on Jane's bedroom door telling
Jane to wait outside until she opened it. Shelly went to her overnight bag
and began to pull out the candles that she had put in there. Why she had
thought of bringing the candles, she did not know.  But candles always gave
her comfort and maybe that was why. Anyway, she was now glad that she
had. She put some CD's into Jane's stereo and heard the soft music began to
play. She then began to spread the candles around the room and then went
back to adjust the placement of a couple of them. She wanted the location
of each candle to be perfect. She wanted them to give off light but also
she wanted to make sure that the candles gave off just the right
ambience. She also made sure that the lavender scent would be just right.
When she was satisfied, she lit the candles by gently blowing on them and
when they were all lit, she stood back to make sure all was right. Seeing
that it was, she took a deep breath then went to the bedroom door.

        She opened the door and saw that Jane was standing there biting her
lower lip.  Jane was wearing a light blue short nightgown that went to mid
thigh and she looked beautiful to Shelly. Shelly smiled and reached out for
her hand. When Jane gave it to her, Shelly gently pulled her into the
bedroom and shut the door. The lavender scent was just getting to the
correct level and the flickering light played across the room. The room was
as romantic as anything that Shelly had ever seen and she was hoping that
Jane thought so to. She got her answer when she turned Jane toward her and
she saw that her eyes were moist. Shelly gave Jane her half grin and took
her into her arms. She hugged her tightly, pressing their bodies
together. She felt Jane put her head on her shoulder and Shelly began to
sway to the soft beat of the music. Shelly could feel Jane's breasts press
against her own breasts and she could feel Jane's nipples and that excited
her. They stayed that way for a long time barely moving from the same
spot. Shelly would caress Jane's back as they swayed to the music and she
felt Jane's hands moving up and down and across her back. It felt like her
heart was going to burst from the love that she was feeling for
Jane. Finally, she pulled back a bit but put her hands on Jane's hips
holding them together at the waist. She stared into Jane's beautiful brown
eyes and then she leaned in and kissed her. Shelly just kissed her with her
lips and as soon as the kiss ended, she kissed her again, this time parting
her lips slightly. This kiss was a little more passionate than the first
kiss, the next kiss Shelly opened her mouth, and the kiss became very
passionate. Shelly pulled Jane against her and she felt Jane's fingernails
scratching at her back. Shelly slowly moved her hands to Jane's ass and she
cupped her cheeks.  Jane's ass was nice and tight and the globes felt so
nice. They kissed and kissed as their hands became bolder as Shelly slid
her right hand between their bodies and she cupped Jane's left breast. She
heard Jane give a slight shudder and then let out a soft moan. The breast
was so soft and Shelly gently and tenderly squeezed it. She could feel the
nipple begin to harden against the palm of her hand. She felt Jane's body
shudder again and she knew that Jane was as nervous as she was. Shelly's
lips left Jane's lips and she began to kiss her neck. Jane let her head
fall back and Shelly heard a load moan come from her lungs. Shelly had to
smile as the moan from Jane seem to turn her on as much as she was turning
Jane on. Shelly went from one side of Jane's neck to the other, taking time
to nibble on each earlobe. Shelly went back to Jane's lips and kissed her
lightly and then she began to kiss down Jane's neck to her upper chest and
then on down until she was kissing between Jane's breasts. Shelly could
feel the tempo of Jane's breathing quicken. Shelly knew that it was time to
move over to the bed. She moved her lips back up to Jane's and kissed her
softly as she released her. Giving Jane a last kiss Shelly started to lead
Jane over to her bed but then Jane stopped.

        "I have never done this; I don't know what to do." Jane said as she
bit on her lower lip.

        "I haven't either but don't worry we will go slow and figure it out
as we go along." Shelly said and she saw that Jane was reassured and she
started to walk to the bed.

        Once there Shelly helped Jane onto the bed and then she followed
her. They sat facing each other and Shelly leaned in and started to kiss
Jane again. The kisses started slow but soon they were both using their
tongues. Shelly had her hands on Jane's shoulders and she slowly traced her
fingers down Jane's arms. When she got to Jane's hand she traced her
fingers back up Jane's arms and she could feel the goose bumps that she was
causing. When she got back to Jane's shoulders, she stopped for a second
then she began to slide her hands down and she felt the beginnings of the
swell of Jane's breasts through her nightgown. She slowed her movement even
more as she slowly covered Jane's breasts with her hands. Jane's breasts
felt so soft in her hands and she heard Jane moan. She felt Jane suck in
her breath and she could feel her nipples harden.  Shelly gently squeezed
the breasts and then using her fingers, she began to tease the
nipples. After a minute of caressing Jane's breasts, Shelly felt Jane's
hands move down her shoulders and then they covered her breasts. Shelly had
to moan herself, as it was the first time someone other than herself had
touched her breasts. Shelly had to stop for a minute and just enjoy what
Jane was doing to her. Shelly leaned her head back breaking their kissing
and then she dropped her hands to the bottom of Jane's nightgown. She
gathered it in her hands and began to pull it over Jane's head. Again, she
saw Jane biting her lower lip and Shelly was fast finding that act by Jane
to be very erotic. As the nightgown got to Jane's breasts, Shelly had to
stare as they were revealed.  The nipples were hard and the areoles were
about a quarter in size. She wanted to lean down to kiss one right then but
she waited until she had the nightgown pulled over Jane's head and then
off. She threw the gown away and then she cupped Jane's breasts in her
hands. She leaned down and took the left nipple into her mouth. She felt
Jane lean back pushing her breasts toward Shelly.

        Shelly caressed the breasts with her hands as she sucked on the
nipple. Jane let out a loud moan and she let a shiver go through out her
body. Shelly let that nipple go from her mouth and she went to the right
nipple. She first kissed it and then she sucked it into her mouth. Jane was
moaning as Shelly went from one breast to the other kissing and sucking on
them. But then Jane suddenly pushed her mouth away and Shelly at first
thought that something was wrong but when she saw the lust in Jane's eyes
she knew that there was nothing wrong. Jane's hands went to Shelly's tee
shirt and she pulled it off quickly. Shelly then watched as Jane's mouth
went to her right breast and she first felt her hot breath on her nipple
and then she felt her moist lips kiss it.  Shelly let out her own
moan. This felt like nothing she had ever felt before and she did not want
Jane to stop sucking on her nipple. She could go on forever like this. Now
she knew why Jane was moaning so loudly. Shelly felt Jane's hands caressing
her breasts and it all felt wonderful.  Shelly let Jane suck and kiss her
breasts for a while but then she started to want more.  She could feel the
moisture that had gathered on her panties, and she could feel the itch deep
within her pussy. She gently pushed Jane away, and put her hands to Jane's
face, then kissed her. As they kissed, she took her hands from Jane's face
and slid them down her body. One she put on Jane's right hip. The other she
circled to the front and she slipped them under the waistband of Jane's
panties. Again, she felt Jane suck in her breath as the tips of her fingers
touched the beginnings of Jane's pubic hair. She slowly wove her fingers
through Jane's bush and over her mons. She felt Jane shiver as her fingers
touched the top of Jane's pussy. Shelly was as nervous as she had ever been
but also as excited as she had ever been. She slipped her fingers on down
and she felt the nub of Jane's clit. This contact caused Jane to moan
loudly. Shelly went on down and she felt Jane's slit and she could tell
that Jane was very wet. This caused a shiver to go though her own
body. Shelly's fingers went on down until she was cupping Jane's pussy. The
outer lips were swollen and she could feel the juices flowing from Jane's
pussy. Shelly knew that she would have to taste those juices soon but first
things first.  She began to move her fingers up and down Jane's slit. Jane
had to give up on trying to return Shelly's kisses. Shelly let a finger
slip between Jane's lips and she could feel the warmth of Jane's pussy. It
was all very wet and Jane pushed her pussy toward Shelly's hand as Shelly's
middle finger slipped inside her. Jane was tight and very wet. Shelly then
felt a hand on her belly and then she felt that hand slip under the
waistband of her panties. The fingers moved down to her pussy and she felt
Jane begin to stroke her pussy as she stroked Jane's. When she felt a
finger slip inside her, she thought that she was going to die from the
pleasure. Shelly tried to concentrate on masturbating Jane but it was hard
with what all Jane was doing to her. Shelly put her head on Jane's shoulder
and concentrated on running her fingers up and down Jane's slit and into
her pussy. She did not neglect Jane's clit either. She moved her fingers to
the clit and then she started to rub it first across and then up and
down. She felt Jane moan loudly and then tense up. She knew that she had
brought Jane to orgasm and she wrapped her free arm around Jane and held
onto her.  When Jane's breathing returned to normal, Shelly felt Jane's
fingers move to her clit and she felt the beginnings of her own orgasm
start in her pussy and then it exploded out the top of her head as wave
after wave of pleasure coursed through her. They both fell to the bed and
Shelly hugged Jane to her body.

        After resting for a few minutes, Shelly began to kiss Jane lightly
on the lips and Jane quickly responded to those kisses. Shelly gently
rolled Jane onto her back and she slid on top of her. She kissed Jane's
lips, cheeks, and then neck. Slowly she worked her way down to Jane's pale
nipples. She kissed each and then sucked the right one into her mouth. She
felt it begin to harden inside her mouth. She sucked and gently bit on this
nipple before going to the other one and doing the same. She did not spend
much time on Jane's breasts as Jane was already excited from her earlier
climax and Shelly herself was anxious to move on down Jane's body. She
kissed her way on down, taking time to kiss Jane's belly button. This
brought a giggle from Jane. Shelly moved on down until she got to the top
of Jane's panties. She could already smell Jane's arousal and her feminine
smell. This served to turn her on that much more. For someone who was not
sure of her sexuality only a few months before, Shelly now knew that she
was meant to be right here and to do what she was about to do. Shelly took
Jane's panties and she began to pull them down. She saw that Jane's bush
was slight darker than the hair on her head but was still light in
color. She saw Jane's pussy come into view and she could see the pink lips
peeking from under the hair. The lips were swollen and she could see the
left over girlcum on Jane's panties. Shelly quickly pulled the panties off
and she could not resist taking a quick sniff of Jane's panties. She
glanced at Jane's face and she realized the Jane was watching her and
Shelly felt her face go red. Shelly gave Jane an embarrassed smile then she
put the panties down and she lay down between Jane's legs. Jane opened her
legs wider and Shelly got her first close up look at another girl's pussy.
It was so pretty to her. Jane's inner lips were just peeking out from
between her outer lips.  And at the top of her pussy, Shelly could see
Jane's clit just dieing to get out and be touched, be caressed, be licked
and she planned on doing all three. Shelly slowly lowered her head taking
deep breaths and loving the sweet smell of Jane's pussy. Shelly finally got
to Jane's pussy and she began to lick. She heard a loud moan come from Jane
and she began to lick up and down Jane's slit. She dipped her tongue
between those lips and was rewarded with more juices to suck up and drink
down. Shelly was not sure what she was doing but she used Jane as a
guide. The louder that she moaned the more Shelly knew she was doing
something right. She finally opened Jane's lips with her fingers and she
explored the red center with her tongue. Jane really loved this so Shelly
spent more time ticking and probing Jane's opening with her tongue. When
she felt Jane's hands on her head, Shelly knew that Jane needed to cum so
she moved her mouth to her clit. She kissed the nub and then she sucked it
into her mouth. She felt Jane at first try to push her away from her very
sensitive spot but then she pulled her back in. Shelly began to lick and
suck on the clit and Jane was soon bucking her hips and crying out Shelly's
name. A few more licks and Shelly felt Jane's body begin to jerk and she
knew that Jane was having an orgasm.  Shelly continued to lick and suck
until Jane pushed her away, then she went back to Jane's opening and drank
in the girlcum that she had caused Jane to produce.  When Jane's orgasm
began to wane, Shelly went up to her and held her tight.

        "I have never felt anything like that before, that was awesome!"
Jane cried out then she pushed Shelly onto her back and kissed her.

        "I hope that I can do as well." Jane said as she began to slide
down Shelly's body.  Shelly felt Jane begin to suck on her nipples, she
could not believe how good it felt, and she knew it was only going to get
better. Jane sucked and licked on her nipples until Shelly couldn't wait
any longer, then she gently pushed Jane on down. She felt Jane kissing her
belly and belly button and then Jane got to her panties. She waited for
Jane to start to pull them down but Jane just continued her kissing through
the panties. When she got to her pussy, Shelly felt Jane's lips on her
pussy through the cum soaked material.  This felt great, but Shelly knew it
was only going to get better once Jane got to her pussy directly. But Jane
was content to tease her though her panties, kissing her pussy and then her
thighs only to go back to her pussy. Finally, Shelly could take it no
longer and she cried out "Please Jane..." It was only then that she felt
Jane begin to pull her panties off.  Shelly lifted her head as Jane's pale
face descended on her full black bush.  Shelly only trimmed the hair on her
thighs and left her bush full. She felt Jane's face nuzzle against her bush
until her mouth found her pussy and she began to lick. Shelly pushed her
hips up forcing Jane's mouth onto her pussy. And Jane responded by licking
harder on her outer, then inner lips. Jane went up and down her slit
pausing every once in a while to suck on her clit. For someone as
inexperienced as she was at making love, Jane was doing beautifully. She
was taking her to the brink of an orgasm only to let her down slowly.  Then
she would bring her close again as she went back to her clit, sucking and
licking it.  Just as Shelly neared an orgasm, Jane went beck to her pussy,
licking up and down her slit. Then Jane would open up her pussy with her
fingers and go deep inside with her tongue. Shelly enjoyed the pleasure for
as long as she could but then the need to cum was overpowering her. Again,
she cried out "Please Jane..." Shelly felt Jane give a last few licks to
her pussy then she felt her mouth clamp down on her clit. This time Jane
did not leave it. She kissed and sucked a minute, and then she began to
lick harder and harder until Shelly felt something begin to grow inside her
pussy. It kept on getting bigger and bigger until it burst from her pussy
and exploded through her body. Shelly cried out but what that was even she
did not know and she let the pleasure course through her body.  When she
got her senses back, Jane was holding her tight and she was kissing her
face.  Shelly returned the kisses for a few minutes then she pushed Jane
back.

        "I don't know what you were worried about, that was a hundred times
better than I could ever do for you. Where did you learn to do that?"
Shelly asked.

        "I don't know, you were pretty good yourself, my body is still
tingling. And as far as learning how to do that, the internet is not for
just looking up witch's family."

        "I see." Shelly said with a smile.

        "I love you." Jane said with a kiss.

        "I love you too." Shelly said and they curled up and they fell
asleep. A little while later, Shelly slipped from Jane's arms and went to
the candles putting them out. There was a little light coming from Jane's
window and Shelly stopped a second to look at Jane's sleeping form. She
watched as her perfect breasts rose and fell.  Shelly was so full with love
that she could not stand it. She could not believe her luck in finding Jane
or rather Jane finding her. It was then that Jane stirred and called to
her, "Are you coming back to me or am I going to have to get out of this
warm bed and come to you?"

        "Sorry, I was just gazing at the most beautiful girl in the world."
Shelly said as she got back into bed and pulled Jane to her.

        "Should I be jealous of this girl that you were looking at?" Jane
asked.

        "No, because she is you," Shelly said as she placed a light kiss on
Jane's lips and then she fell asleep.

        The next morning, Shelly was the first one to wake and she promptly
started to plant short soft kisses to Jane's face and lips. It did not take
Jane long to open her eyes and start to place her own kisses. It soon
became a competition between them that eventually left them both in
giggles.

        "Morning my sweet thing," Shelly said as the last of the giggles
left them.

        "Morning my witch," Jane replied that brought a mean stare for
Shelly but only for a moment. Shelly then had to smile because she knew
that Jane could call her anything and she would not really care. Besides,
as she thought a second, she was her witch.

        They then got up and went to separate bathrooms before meeting back
in the kitchen. There they made more waffles and both devoured two each as
they had worked up an appetite from the previous night's activities. They
then decided just to ride around in Jane's car. They just wanted to spend
some time together and really talk and that is what they did. No subject
was out of bounds, they even talked about being lesbians and what they
would face when school started back after Christmas break. Both knew that
they would suddenly be outsiders but that did not bother them. They had
each other now and that was all that they really needed. It was early
evening after they had gotten back home, when Shelly noticed that Jane had
gotten quite and she knew something was bothering her.

        "Okay what is wrong and don't say nothing. I know that something is
on your mind." Shelly asked.

        "It is just that you will be leaving soon and I don't know when we
will be able to spend time together like this again." Jane said as she
began to bite her lower lip.

        "You know you worry too much. I know exactly when we will be
together again."

        "When? Jane asked with a hopeful look on her face.

        "This coming weekend, you are coming to spend the weekend with me."
Shelly said as she gathered her friend in her arms.

        "I am not sure that my mom will let me, I will have to ask her."
Jane said, hugging Shelly back.

        "Well if she gives you any trouble let me know and I will get my
mom to talk to her. My mom will convince her to let you come. She can be
very persuasive when she wants to be." Shelly told her but then she felt
Jane pull back with a different worried look on her face. "Don't worry; she
won't use witchcraft on your mom. We don't work that way remember. She just
has that ability to make people see her point of view. She will convince
her that together is where we need to be."

        Jane gave a sigh of relief and then she kissed Shelly who returned
the kiss with passion. They kissed and kissed until it was time for Shelly
to leave. That brought tears to Jane's eyes but Shelly assured her that
they would see each other on Wednesday, Christmas Day, and then again on
Friday night when Jane came to spend the weekend.

        That night as if on cue, Shelly heard a knock on the door and
before she could answer, she saw her mother peek in the door.

        "Can I come in?" she asked.

        "Well, since you are already part of the way in, I guess so."
Shelly said teasing her mom.

        "I see that we are in a good mood tonight, I don't think I have
seen your feet touch the floor all evening. I take that as meaning that the
weekend went well."

        Shelly tried not to smile but she could not help herself and then
she sat up in bed and hugged her mom catching them both by surprise. "Would
you not say, "I told you so," if I told you that you were right about
everything?"

        "I think I could refrain from doing so, if you tell me all about
your weekend." Her mother replied as Shelly laid back down. She then
started to tell her mom about the tension that started when she got there
and then about Jane trying to use the love potion on her. She then told her
about the rest of the weekend leaving the parts where they made love out
but she knew that her mother was filling in the blanks. They talked for
about an hour but as her mom was about to get up, Shelly stopped her.

        "I might need to ask a favor of you." Shelly said.

        "Anything sweetheart, what do you need?" Amanda asked.

        "I invited Jane over for this coming weekend and I might need you
to convince her mother to let her come."

        Amanda let a broad smile sweep across her face and then she said,
"I will call her tomorrow and Jane is as good as being here."

        "Well, we might not need you; her mother might let her since I
stayed with her this weekend." Shelly said.

        "That is true but I believe in heading off a problem before it
becomes a problem.  Besides, I suspect that you two will want to spend all
your weekends at one house or another. So I might as well make sure that it
is three here and one there.  Don't worry; she will never know what hit
her."

        "Thanks mom, you're the best."

        "I know that." Amanda said with a big smile and then she gave her
daughter a kiss and left the room. Shelly knew that Jane was as good as
being there.

        Sure enough when Shelly talked to Jane on Monday evening, it was
all set up.  Jane could come over on Friday and spend the weekend. In fact
all of their weekends would be spent together from here on out. Jane told
Shelly that Shelly's mom had called her mom before Jane had a chance to ask
her about coming over this weekend.  Jane heard her mom talking and she
snuck and picked up the other phone and listened in.  She said that her mom
started to put up a fight about them spending the weekends together but
Shelly's mom countered every argument that her mom had and then some. Jane
told Shelly that in the end, her mom figured that she was going to lose
anyway so she just gave in. Once that was settled, then she said that their
moms talked for another hour. Jane told Shelly that she could see why her
mother was so persuasive. She was not going to argue with her that was for
sure. But then Shelly countered that she loved to argue with her mom as
that made her better and besides her mom did let her win every once in a
while. They talked for another hour then retired.

        On Christmas, Jane came over and had lunch with Shelly and her
family and they exchanged gifts but Shelly and Jane held out their gifts
for later. They stayed there until early afternoon when Shelly went back
with Jane and had dinner with Jane's family.  Shelly gave Jane's mom some
seedlings of Rosemary for their garden and Lavender for good luck. Once the
gifts were exchanged, then Jane and Shelly went to her room to exchange
their gifts.

        "Here is your gift." Shelly told Jane as she handed Jane a small
package. Jane hurriedly opened it up and found a CD. It was one of the
oldies CD's and Jane's eyes zeroed in on the one song that Shelly had used
a highlighter to mark. It was, of course 'Love Potion Number Nine'.

        "You shit!" Jane said but then she rushed over to her stereo and
put the CD in.  She then started to sing the song to Shelly as she danced
around the room.  This caused Shelly to start laughing and she could not
get Jane to stop until the song had played out.

        "No this is your real gift." Shelly said as she gave Jane another
small package. As Jane started to open the package, Shelly told her "This
is something that all the women give their lovers; the vial contains a
potion that will keep you safe. Mom helped me make it for you."

        Jane got to the vial and she saw that the small glass vial
contained a powder and was attached to a beautiful gold chain. "Thank you
so much for the potion and the chain.  They are beautiful." Jane said as
she kissed Shelly.

        "Well, to tell you the truth, I had planned on getting you just the
chain but once I told mom about us getting together then she insisted on
helping me make the potion and she helped me cast the spell to make it
work." Shelly told Jane after the kiss ended.

        "I will thank her on Friday then. Now for your gift." Jane said as
she pulled a small package from under her pillow.

        Shelly tore into the gift and she found a jewelry box. Inside she
found a sliver necklace with a heart pendant attached. Shelly opened the
pendant and she saw on one side a small picture of her and Jane cheek to
cheek. How Jane got the picture so small she could not figure but then she
looked to the other side and read what it said, "To my witch, I love her
so, Jane"

        "Thank you!" Shelly said as she kissed Jane and then they hugged
tightly. The hug went on for a long time with a kiss or two thrown in but
they knew that their time was limited. However, they both knew that Friday
was only a day away and then they would have all the time in the world, or
at least the whole weekend together. On the way back to Shelly's house,
they held hands and talked about their first Christmas together and how
much they each knew that it would not be the last. When they got to
Shelly's house, Jane left the motor running and they kissed a few minutes
more before Shelly took her leave with a last kiss.

        Friday morning Shelly was helping her mother down in the basement
where Shelly's mother had her herbs that she grew to sell. There was also a
hothouse attached that she also used to grow her plants. This was also,
where Shelly learned all of her witchcraft. Her father never came down here
as this was a place for Shelly's mom to work and to be alone and it was
also, where Shelly spent time one on one with her mother. Her father was
not left out of her life as Shelly was a daddy's girl and she and her
father spent their own time together. But at about ten that morning they
heard the front doorbell ring. Shelly looked at her mother asking who could
that be and her mother gave a shrug. Shelly wiped her hands clean of
potting soil and she bounded up the stairs to see who would be stopping by
this early in the morning. She opened the door to find Jane standing in the
cold air with her overnight bag in her hand.

        "What are you doing here, I thought that you were not coming over
until late this afternoon." Shelly said surprised to see Jane standing
there.

        "I could not wait. But if you like I can come back later." Jane
said seriously or at least trying to sound serious.

        "Don't you dare!" Shelly said as she grabbed Jane's free hand and
pulled her inside. She then kissed her and hugged her tightly.

        "Mom and I are down stairs working, you can give us a hand." Shelly
said as she threw Jane's bag toward the hallway leading to her bedroom and
she took Jane's hand and led her to the basement.

        "Look who I found." Shelly called out as she got to the bottom of
the stairs with Jane in tow.

        "Jane, how nice to see you again. How is your family doing? Did you
have a good Christmas?" Amanda called to her.

        "They are fine and it was great." Jane said then she let go of
Shelly's hand, went to Shelly's mom, and gave her a hug. As she hugged her,
she whispered to Amanda "Thanks for the help with my mom, and I can't thank
you enough for helping me get with Shelly, and thank you for the potion and
thank you..."

        "That is enough 'thank you's', I was happy to do it all. Shelly
could not have found anyone better to be with." Amanda said as she kissed
Jane on the forehead and then hugged her again. "Now that you are here, you
can get your hands dirty and give us a hand."

        "Okay, what do you need me to do?" Jane asked.

        "Help Shelly repot those seedlings, she will show you what to do."
Amanda told her as she pushed Jane over to where Shelly had started back to
work. The rest of the morning, Amanda had to put up with two young women
who did as much talking as work and also with a burst of giggles that she
could not help but to smile at.  They broke at one to have lunch then it
was back to work. It was at about two, that Amanda sprung her surprise that
she had planned for the girls.

        "Shelly, would you go get that bottle of new fertilizer that is
inside the room by the steps." Amanda called to Shelly.

        Shelly looked over to where her mother was pointing and then she
looked back at her mom, "There is no room there and I think the fertilizer
is over there on the shelf."  Shelly said as she pointed to the opposite
corner of the basement.

        "Yes there is, now go over and get it for me." Amanda said as she
wiped her dirty hands on her apron.

        Shelly shrugged her shoulders and went to where her mother was
pointing only to find a wall and no door or room. "There is no room here
Mom, there never has been."  Shelly called out and wondering if her mother
had lost it.

        "Honey, just open the door. You have not forgotten how to open a
door have you?  That is the first thing I taught you." Amanda said looking
at her daughter as if she was getting angry with her. Jane looked on
wondering what the hell was going on.  Shelly looked back at her mom,
questioning if she was giving her permission to use witchcraft in front of
Jane.

        "She knows that we are witches now get on with it!" Amanda called
out now really getting exasperated with Shelly.

        Shelly turned to the wall, concentrated a second, and then waved
her hand. A section of the wall swung open and Shelly walked inside a room
that she never knew existed. Inside the room were a double bed and some
small tables situated around the room, all of which had candles on
them. Shelly walked on in and saw that there was a small room attached that
had a full bathroom with a large tub and a separate walk in shower. She
could not believe how beautiful it was and now she knew where her mother
and Mrs. Reed went to be alone. She also knew that the room was now hers
and Jane's.  Her mother had just given it to her. Shelly looked around and
she felt tears running down her cheek, she knew she could not thank her
mother enough. She dried her eyes and walked back out of the room. She
waved her hand and the hidden door closed.  She did not trust herself to
talk so she just went, got the bottle of fertilizer from where she knew it
was, and carried it to her mom. But instead of handing it to her, Shelly
put the bottle down on the table that her mom was working at and then gave
her a big hug.  She tried to say thank you but nothing would come
out. Amanda felt her own eyes tearing and she was afraid they would both
start to bawl in front of Jane so the hugged her daughter and then kissed
her cheek.

        "Enough hugging today, we have work to do." Amanda commanded but
there was only love in her voice.

        "What was that all about, what was in the room?" Jane asked quietly
when Shelly got over to where she was standing.

        "Just wait until tonight, my love. I have a surprise for you." Was
all Shelly would say but she said it with a grin that went from one side of
her face to the other.

        Shelly and Jane quit at about four and left to make the nightly
deliveries. The best restaurants around town paid top dollar for their
herbs and stuff so that meant daily deliveries. Jane tried to get Shelly to
tell her what was in the room when they got into Shelly's car but Shelly
would not budge and she said nothing so Jane switched tactics.  She put her
arms across her chest and put a pout on her face. Shelly looked at her and
saw what she was doing.

        "You can take that pout off that cute face of yours; it is not
going to work. You are not the pouting type and we both know it. Besides,
if I tell you now it will spoil the surprise." Shelly said.

        "You are beginning to know me too well you know that." Jane said as
she unfolded her arms and put a smile back on her face.

        "I know, but there is plenty left to learn and I plan on learning
it all." Shelly said.

        "That sounds nice, when you say that." Jane said as she leaned over
in the seat and gave Shelly a quick kiss to the cheek.

        When they got back from their deliveries, Amanda had supper on the
table and Jay, Shelly's father, had just gotten home. They sat down and as
the food was shared, the conversation began. Jane was quite at first but
Amanda was quick to get her to talk and soon she was in much of the
conversation as the rest of Shelly's family.  Once dinner was done, Shelly
and Jane volunteered to put the food away and put the dishes in the
dishwasher. Normally Shelly and her mom did this but Shelly made her mother
leave the kitchen. They talked as they worked and when they were done, they
came into the family room only to find that it was empty. There was no note
or anything but Shelly figured that her mom got her father to take her out
for the evening. Shelly and Jane discussed what they wanted to do but
decided to take advantage of the empty house.  They went to Shelly's
bedroom and changed into their nightgowns. Shelly put on a long black
purple nightgown and Jane put on a long white nightgown. The weather had
turned cold outside and while the house was warm, the long nightgowns still
felt good. Plus the fact that they did not know when Shelly's parents would
return. They went back to the family room and put on some dance music CD's
and they moved the furniture around. When the music started, they began to
dance. Each showing off for the other one and each doing a little seduction
for the other, not that was really necessary. They both knew where they
would end up that night. They would dance a few songs then take a break,
then start back up again. This went on until ten, when they both began to
tire and decided some TV was in order. It was about this time that Shelly's
parents returned home. They bade their goodnights then went off to bed,
leaving Shelly and Jane alone again. Shelly looked over at Jane and gave
her a wink, which caused her to have a fit of laughter.  Shelly then
reached out her right hand for Jane as she turned off the TV with the left.
Jane took her hand and got up. As they went out of the room, Shelly turned
right, away from her bedroom.

        "Where are we going, your bedroom is the other way?" Jane asked but
followed along with Shelly.

        "I know where my bedroom is, just be quite and come along." Shelly
whispered.  Not that she really wanted Jane to be quite. She knew that her
mother knew where they would be spending the night and she suspected that
her father did too. But the whispering added to the mystery and added a
touch more excitement.

        "Okay, but where are we going?" Jane asked again.

        "You know you ask too many questions. Just relax and come along."
Shelly whispered. Shelly led Jane to the basement stairs and she turned on
a flashlight that she picked up from the table by the basement door. She
led Jane down the stairs and over to the door that really wasn't
there. Shelly made an elaborate wave of her hand and the door opened. She
then turned off the flashlight and led Jane inside. The door closed behind
them and they were in total darkness. Shelly felt Jane grip her hand
tighter and she had to pry her hand loose.

        "Where are you going and where are we?" Jane whispered.

        "Just stand there a minute." Shelly said as she walked away. Shelly
went to the first table and she blew toward where she knew a candle
was. The candle lit and the room began to get lighter. She went to the next
candle and blew gently and the candle lit.  Shelly could now see Jane in
the candle light, she saw the amazement in her face, as she lit the rest of
the candles with her warm breath. Once they were all lit and the room
flickered with light, Shelly came over to Jane and took her into her arms.
She hugged her tightly and she felt Jane wrap her arms around her body. It
felt so nice to be holding Jane again. She held her for a few minutes then
she leaned back a bit while still holding Jane at the hips. She gazed into
Jane's eyes for a moment then leaned back in and kissed her.  Their lips
touched softly and then parted. But Shelly quickly brought her lips back
into contact with Jane's. This kiss became more passionate. Their hands
began to roam across each other's backs and to their asses. Shelly opened
her mouth and she felt Jane's tongue enter her mouth. She sucked on it a
few seconds before she reversed their tongues, her tongue was now in Jane's
mouth, and Jane was sucking on it. Their kissing became more passionate and
intense as they squeezed each other and their kisses went from their mouths
to each other necks, each taking a turn. Shelly felt her nipples tighten
and she felt moisture begin to gather in her panties. Shelly knew that she
was ready for more and she knew by Jane's quick breathing and moans that
she was ready too. Shelly gave a last kiss to Jane's lips and a last
squeeze to her soft ass cheeks. She then stepped back.

        "I think that you have too many clothes on, my love." Shelly said
and then she gave a flip of her hands. Shelly watched as Jane had a look of
shock come to her face as she suddenly reached to her sides with her
hands. Jane then looked at Shelly with a "How did you do that?" look as she
lifted her nightgown to find her panties at her ankles. Jane smiled as she
stepped out of her panties. Jane looked at Shelly as she gave another flip
of her hands and in an instant Jane was standing naked with her nightgown
now lying on top of her panties. Jane was now smiling and she started to
walk toward Shelly but Shelly put out her hand. She did a third wave of her
hand; she was now standing naked as Jane was.  Her nightgown and panties
were now lying with Jane's.

        "If I did not know you so well, that would have just scared the
hell out of me."  Jane said as she came to Shelly and kissed her. Their
bodies pressed together, Shelly could feel Jane's breast press against her
own, and she could feel Jane's pussy press against her pussy. Shelly
gripped Jane tightly and she returned the kiss with passion.  Their lips
and hands were a fury of activity. Shelly caressed Jane's back and
ass. Then she moved a hand to Jane's front and she pressed it against
Jane's pussy. It was wet and warm and she heard Jane moan in her ear. She
felt Jane's hand reach for her pussy, she felt Jane caress her outer lips,
and then she felt a finger enter her.  Shelly had to let out a moan of her
own. As they masturbated each other, Shelly eased them back toward the bed
and once there, they tumbled on top of it. Shelly moved around so that she
was lying lengthwise and Jane crawled up beside of her. They lay on their
sides and kissed as their fingers again found each other's pussy. They
teased and caressed each other; their fingers stroked up and down each
other slits. Their moaning came more often and got much louder. Just as
Shelly was approaching an orgasm, Jane pushed her onto her back. She then
got up on her hands and knees and switched around in the bed so that her
head was toward Shelly's feet and her feet were toward Shelly's head.

        "What are you doing?" Shelly asked.

        "Just be quite a second and you will know." Jane whispered
hoarsely.  She then crawled over Shelly so that her knees were by Shelly's
shoulders and Shelly was looking up at Jane's pussy. Shelly looked between
Jane's legs and she saw Jane lower her head to her pussy and then she felt
Jane begin to lick her slit. This caused her to moan loudly.  Shelly then
realized what Jane wanted her to do, so she placed her hands on Jane's hips
and pulled Jane's pussy to her mouth. Shelly began to lick up Jane's juices
as Jane was licking up hers. Shelly followed Jane's lead and she just
licked the outer lips and barely into the slit of Jane's pussy as that was
what Jane was doing to her. It felt so good to feel Jane's tongue upon her
pussy lips. And when Jane teased her clit, she wanted to scream but instead
tried to concentrate on gently licking Jane's clit. Finally, Shelly felt
Jane part her lips with her fingers and she felt Jane's tongue go much
deeper inside of her. This time she did scream, as it felt so damn
good. She stopped what she was doing for a moment just to enjoy Jane's
tongue as it moved in and out of her pussy then come back for more. Shelly
then moved her arms around so that she could get to Jane's pussy with her
fingers. She parted the lips and pushed her tongue deep inside of Jane.
She felt and then heard Jane moan and the vibrations of the moan on her
pussy sent her almost over the edge. Shelly worked harder with her tongue,
going even deeper so that Jane's pussy and thighs covered her whole
face. It made it harder to breath but she did not care. All she wanted to
do was pleasure Jane. Shelly licked and sucked as hard as she could and she
did not mind that Jane had completely stopped licking her pussy. Shelly
worked her tongue around and then she moved her mouth to Jane's clit. As
she sucked the hard clit into her mouth, she slipped a finger inside of
her. It went only so far before hitting a barrier and Shelly knew then that
Jane's hymen was still intact. She took care not to break it but she did
move her finger in and out of the entrance as she licked and sucked on the
clit. When she started to move her tongue across the clit instead of up and
down, she felt Jane shudder and she knew that she was cumming. Shelly
continued to lick until Jane start to pull away then she latched her mouth
onto the entrance of Jane's pussy and sucked the girlcum out of her. Jane
soon collapsed on top of her and she knew that Jane was spent. This made
her so happy that she did not mind that she had not came yet; even though
the need to do so was great. Jane only rested a minute or two before Shelly
felt her raise back up and she felt Jane's tongue back on her pussy. Jane
started slow just licking the outer lips but it was not long before she
felt Jane's fingers opening her up and she felt Jane's tongue dip deep
inside of her. Shelly moaned loudly and she felt her orgasm gathering
speed. Shelly tried to head it off by going back to Jane's pussy and she
started to lick the slit again. But Jane's tongue proved to be too much and
when it got to her clit, Shelly was done. She felt a finger slip inside of
her but like Jane, her hymen was still intact. Shelly whimpered as she felt
Jane suck on her clit and then using short fast strokes of her tongue, she
felt Jane bring her to orgasm. It was a powerful orgasm and it racked her
body. She twisted and turned under the weight of Jane's body but Jane kept
her tongue on her clit and Shelly had a second powerful orgasm, right after
the first one ended.

        When she came back around, she found that Jane had blown out all
the candles except the one by the bed and a blanket covered her with Jane
cuddle in next to her.  Shelly leaned in and gave Jane a soft kiss tasting
her own juices that were smeared across Jane's face. They kissed and kissed
as their hands moved from one part of the body to the next caressing and
touching. Shelly felt like she could not touch Jane enough or kiss her
enough. Soon she found that her face was wet and then she realized that she
was crying.  But Jane kissed away the tears and held her tight as she fell
asleep.

        They both woke up early the next morning and were kissing and
fondling when the mood was suddenly broken by Shelly's mom as she called
through the door, "Put your panties back on girls, breakfast will be ready
in twenty minutes."

        "Mother!" Shelly cried out as she felt her face flush. She looked
over at Jane and saw that she was just as embarrassed by what Shelly's mom
said.

        "I know that she waited all night just to say that to us." Shelly
said as she started to get up.

        "You mother does say whatever is on her mind doesn't she." Jane
said as she got up with Shelly.

        "Yep, you had better get use to it. She is not going to change."

        "That is cool, she helped to get us together so I don't mind." Jane
said as she kissed Shelly then headed into the bathroom. They took a quick
shower but they did take a few moments to kiss and caress each other under
the warm spray of the water. When they got out, they realized that they
only had their nightgowns to put on.

        "Can you do your witch thing and get our clothes down here?" Jane
asked.

        "I know how to remove them but I never saw a need to figure out a
way to retrieve clothes." Shelly said as she realized that she really did
not know a spell for that.

        "It figures that you would know how to get them off of me but not
how to put them back on." Jane said with a laugh.

        "Laugh now, but this means that I will have to get mom to get our
clothes for us and you know she will just love doing that. That will be
worth three or four comments from her." Shelly said with a groan. But she
knew that she could not put it off so she waved her hand and the door
opened. Shelly peeked out the doorway to see if anyone was there and then,
she saw Jane's bag by the door and a set of clothes for her.  But on top
Shelly saw a note and she dreaded reading it. She picked up the clothes and
bag and brought them in.

        "What does the note say?" Jane asked as she started to open her
bag.

        "I think that you will be needing these. Love Mom" Shelly read
aloud.

        "See, that wasn't so bad." Jane said.

        "I think she was being nice because of you. Otherwise, she would
have needled me good and still might." Shelly said relieved that her mother
decided to let her off the hook.

        They got dressed and headed upstairs. Her mother was putting
breakfast on the table and her father was just sitting down as they emerged
from the basement.

        "Morning girls, did you have a fun night? Get any sleep?" Amanda
asked acting as if that was an innocent question.

        "Mother!" Shelly said as she felt her face go red and she saw that
Jane's was the same way. It did not help any, when Shelly heard a slight
laugh from her father.

        "What? I was just asking if you had a good night's sleep."

        "Yea, right! Now be nice mother, okay?" Shelly said or rather
asked.

        "Okay, I will be good from now on." Amanda said as she held out her
arms to Shelly who despite herself went to her mother and hugged her. "No
more teasing, I promise." Amanda whispered into Shelly's ear. Then she held
out her arms to Jane who came to her. As they hugged Shelly overhead her
mother telling Jane "Welcome to the family. I know that you love my
daughter and will take care of her for me.  She needs someone like you in
her life and we will and do love you like you were our own daughter."
Shelly watched as Jane hugged her mother tighter when she heard those
words. They then sat down, ate, and discussed what they were going to do
that day.  Shelly had planned to do something alone with Jane, but
obviously, her parents had something else planned. They were then presented
with a family outing to include Jane, the newest member of the
family. Shelly wanted to protest but her mother had worked it out so that
she and Jane could spend their weekends together so she went along with the
plan to drive to the beach and have a cookout. It was a warm day outside
and Shelly's mother wanted to take advantage of that. So, after breakfast
they packed up their things and headed for the car. Jane got in the back
seat of the SUV and Shelly was headed to the backseat behind the passenger
seat but again her plans were changed.

        "Why don't you sit up front with your father and I will sit back
here and that way Jane and I can get to know each other." Amanda
suggested. Shelly knew that it really was not a question but an order.

        "Okay sure," Shelly said as she gave Jane a smile but Jane was
looking at her with a rescue me look. But Shelly knew that Jane was on her
own here and there was not a thing that she could do about it. Once they
got started, Shelly started to turn in her seat to talk to Jane but her
father started talking to her so she turned back around. Shelly at first
tried to listen to what her mother and Jane were talking about and at the
same time talk to her father but soon realized that she was not catching
much of either conversation so she gave up and just listened and talked to
her father. The day turned out pretty good in the end. They went to their
favorite place on the beach. It was a deserted beach where no one ever
came. Here father cooked steaks on the grill as Shelly and Jane walked
along the beach holding hands and getting their feet wet in the surf. On
the return trip, Shelly was stuck in the back with her mother as Jane had
to sit up front and talk to her father.

        "Thanks for abandoning me there, forcing me to talk to your parents
all the way there and back. I thought you were my friend." Jane told Shelly
as they got into their room in the basement about eleven that night.

        "What could I do? They obviously had this day planned all along.
They caught me by surprise. I really did not know that they had the day
planned for us.  I am sorry about that." Shelly said.

        "That is okay, I really didn't mind. Your parents are nice as they
just wanted to get to know me better and that was their way of doing it. It
just shows that they love you and want the best for you."

        "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." Shelly said
as she came to where Jane was standing and took her into her arms. She
kissed her gently and then more passionately. Just as Jane was starting to
moan, Shelly broke off the kiss and stepped back.

        "The last one into the shower is a whore!" Shelly shouted as she
waved her hand and she was instantly naked, leaving Jane struggling to get
her clothes off.


        "You shit, that is not fair!" Jane called out to Shelly's naked
backside as Shelly entered the bathroom.

        "All is fair in love and war!" Shelly called back as she was
turning on the shower.  She then jumped into the shower before the water
got warm just to make sure that she beat Jane in. "Oh my god this water is
cold!" Shelly called out as Jane entered the bathroom.

        "Serves you right!' Jane said laughing as she entered the bathroom.
She then waited a minute before sliding the glass door back and entering
the shower with Shelly.  The water was now nice and warm and Jane came up
to Shelly and hugged her from behind. Shelly could feel Jane's breasts
press against her back and she felt Jane start to kiss her shoulders and
then neck. Jane's hands went to Shelly's breasts and she began to caress
them. Shelly let out a moan as she leaned back against Jane. Shelly felt
Jane's fingers pinch her nipples making them hard and then she pulled on
them gently. Soon Shelly felt herself getting very aroused and she wanted
to turn around and face Jane but Jane would not let her. So she stayed in
place and let Jane do as she pleased which was not a bad idea as what Jane
was doing made her feel real good. Soon Shelly felt Jane's right hand move
down her belly and to her pussy. Shelly opened her legs as wide as she
could and pressed her hands against the wall to support herself. Jane's
fingers first went to her clit and she lightly rubbed it causing Shelly to
moan louder. But Jane only stayed there a minute before moving her fingers
on down. She ran her fingers up and down Shelly's slit and slowly Shelly
felt Jane's middle finger press down between her pussy lips. The finger
moved up and down between her lips and Shelly could tell that she was very
wet even without the water from the shower hitting her. Jane would stroke
her a few minutes then go to her clit and then back to her slit. Shelly
would get close to an orgasm then Jane would ease her back down. But every
time that she got close to a climax the feeling was more intense. When
Shelly could stand it no longer and need to cum badly, she cried out "Oh
God!" when she did that Jane stayed on her clit stroking it and pressing
down on the little nub until Shelly went over the precipice and she came
hard. Shelly felt Jane holding her up as the intense orgasm washed over
her.

        When it finally ended, Shelly turned around, took Jane into her
arms, and kissed her passionately. As she kissed her, she turned Jane so
that her back was against the wall.  She kissed her before moving down to
her breasts. She took one nipple into her mouth, sucked, and nibbled on it
and then she went to the other one doing the same to it. She used her hands
to squeeze the breasts and to hold the nipple to her mouth so that she
could better suck and bite it. This caused Jane to start moaning long and
loud. She spent a few minutes on Jane's breasts before slowly going down to
her knees. Jane opened her legs for her and Shelly leaned in and began to
kiss and lick Jane's pussy.  Jane was very wet and Shelly drank in her
juices. She had quickly grown to love the way Jane tasted and she found
that she could not get enough. Shelly used her fingers to open Jane up and
she licked deeper. Shelly stayed away from Jane's clit for as long as
possible. She wanted to make her wait so that when she got to Jane's clit,
it would be super sensitive. Shelly played and sucked at Jane's pussy and
when Jane tried to move lower so that Shelly would get to her clit, Shelly
moved with her. Jane eventually gave up and stood there moaning and
groaning until Shelly finally let Jane have what she wanted. She moved up
to Jane's clit, which was now sticking out, from its hood and she sucked it
into her mouth. Jane cried out "Oh my god yes!" Shelly sucked a minute then
began to use her tongue against it. Jane shook, cried out, and then grabbed
onto Shelly's head pressing it against her pussy. After only a minute of
this, Jane let out a long loud moan and Shelly knew that she had just
brought Jane to orgasm. Shelly looked up quickly and she saw the strain on
Jane's face as she came. Shelly then went back to licking up all of Jane's
girlcum.

        When Jane came back to, she pulled Shelly up and they kissed for a
minute. Then the water began to turn cool so they quickly finished
washing. They got out, dried themselves, and then rushed to the bed
crawling under the covers.

        "That was the perfect end to a great day, you know it." Jane
whispered to Shelly.

        "I know and just think that is just one of the many that we have
coming." Shelly murmured back as she nuzzled in against Jane's warm
body. Soon they were both asleep dreaming sweet dreams about each other.

        Sunday morning, they were both up early hoping to avoid Shelly's
mother from coming down and making the "Put you panties back on"
comment. They had breakfast going before Shelly's parents made their
appearance. This day Shelly and Jane spent running about town and hitting
the stores, not really shopping but just enjoying themselves but the day
ended much too soon. Jane made her leave from the house getting a last kiss
from Shelly. The following week, Shelly and Jane spent as much time as they
could together as it was the last week of Christmas vacation. They helped
Shelly's mom some during the morning then spent the rest of the day just
enjoying themselves but always making it back in time for Shelly to make
her afternoon deliveries.  That Friday night Shelly made her way to Jane's
house, as it was her turn to spend the weekend there.  She liked Jane's
parents but they were not as free going as her own parents were and she
really could tell that Jane's mother was not as accepting to Jane's choice
of lifestyle as her parents were. Still Jane's mother and father were very
nice to her.  Unfortunately, Jane's bedroom was next to her parents and
when they first tried to make love that night; they found that neither felt
comfortable with Jane's parents just a few feet away. As soon as Jane first
started to moan as Shelly was kissing her breasts, they both
stopped. Shelly looked at Jane and they both knew that this would not
work. So Shelly moved back up in the bed and took Jane into her arms. They
kissed, cuddled, and talked quietly until they fell asleep. The next
morning they were up early and Shelly helped Jane get some things done that
her mother had asked her to do, then they split out of there.

        "You know, spending the weekend at my house is not going to work."
Jane declared after they had gotten into Shelly's car.

        "I know, I was thinking the same thing. I just did not want to
bring it up. I like your parents and all but..." Shelly said leaving the
last part of her statement unfinished.

        "We can't make love like we can at your house. I know. We will just
have to spend all of our weekends at your house. Mom will just have to deal
with it.  Besides we only have the rest of this year and then we will be in
college and we can do as we please." Jane said.

        "Oh god, I can't wait. We just have to make sure that we get to
room together our first year and then we will get an apartment together."

        "What if they do not put us together? I have requested to room with
you but that does not mean that we will get to." Jane said.

        "Let me take care of that. We will be rooming together." Shelly
said with a devious grin on the face.

        "You know, there are advantages to being in love with a witch."
Jane said as she leaned over in her seat and kissed Shelly on the cheek.

        "And don't you ever forget that." Shelly said with a laugh.

        From that point on, they did spend every weekend at Shelly's house
but only under the condition that Jane and Shelly go to church with Jane's
parents every Sunday morning. Shelly was not much for church but was more
than willing to give into that condition to be able to have Jane at her
house on the weekends. Shelly also made good on her promise to have them
room together. First, she used her craft to find out when the university
would be assigning rooms. She and Jane then skipped school on that that day
and with Jane as a lookout, Shelly was able to enter the body of the
Director of Housing for the university. She had to stay in his body much
longer than she liked but finally they got to Jane and she was at first not
assigned to be with Shelly. Shelly then used her powers to make the
Director speak up, he overruled the committee's decision, and thus they got
to room together in the best dorm on campus. They then snuck down to their
room at Shelly's house while Shelly's mom was over at her friend's house
and Jane made love to her. Shelly did not think that she would ever stop
having orgasms and Jane would not let her return the favor. But that
weekend Shelly made it up to her. It was Jane on the receiving end of the
orgasms.

        As the years passed, their love for each other intensified, as did
their friendship.  Shelly was even able to finish the potion that her
grandmother was working on when she died. The potion allowed them to pass
their eggs between them and when their eggs met, they joined like sperm and
an egg would. Shelly had them press their pussies together as they ovulated
and they both said the chant and drank the potion that her grandmother had
started and she finished. They each produced two eggs, one passed from
their body and impregnated the other's egg, and one egg remained to be
impregnated. They both ended up pregnant with baby girls. When the babies
were born on the same day nine mouths later, Jane's child looked like
Shelly while Shelly's looked like Jane.  Shelly's mom took each child into
her arms and felt the craft within both babies. Jane named her baby Deidre
Cassandra Collins and Shelly named her baby Melanie Cassandra Collins. For
the first time in the history of the family there would be two witches
produced in a single generation. Amanda knew that her family was in good
hands as Shelly, with her help, would teach the young witches well.
