Saturday

"So, are you going to tell me what happened last night?" I ask with a massive grin spread across my face.

"I have no idea what you're talking about Syke," Lexi replies, trying to contain her grin but failing miserably.

Last night Lexi went out with Niall again, but this time it was just the two of them. She was really excited after the night we spent at Cargo with him and then when he texted her the next day asking if she wanted to get diner on Friday, she almost jumped up in the air she was so happy.

I chuckle at her reply and she shakes her head laughing along with me.

"Well, we had diner and then went back to his and... you know," she says shyly, darting her eyes between me and the floor in front of her.

"Had hot sex all night long," I say smiling widely.

Lexi immediately swats my arm, "Skye!" She says laughing.

"What? No point sugar-coating it," I say, grinning widely.

"Well, ugh, yes then I guess," she says softly, still smiling.

I shuffle closer to her on the couch and nudge her shoulder, "so how was it," I say wiggling my brows suggestively.

Lexi was a lot shyer than me when it came to this kind of thing, which some may find surprising due to her occupation. However, I assume it was due to her very religious, strict upbringing.

She was taught when she was younger that sex was for having children. And that's it.

When she told me about all the things her parents would say to her I was completely astonished. I was especially shocked when she told me both of her parents had called her a slut at one point or another, simply for her outfit choices or the way she would do her hair and makeup.

I thought that was the most sexist, misogynistic shit I'd ever heard.

The way she was talked to and the things she was taught were really damaging to her and it took me a lot of convincing to tell her that sex is nothing to be ashamed of and that it's completely normal and healthy for a woman to have just as many sexual desires and urges as men. It's not something you do only to reproduce, but something you do because you want to and it's enjoyable.

Since living independently in the city for the past few years she's really come out of her shell but I still have to drag the details out of her usually.

She giggles softly before replying, "yeah it was good, he was super sweet to me,"

I engulf her in a hug, "yay, I'm so happy for you babe, that's amazing," I say into the crook of her neck.

Looking over Lexi's shoulder I see Leo's bedroom door open. He looks at us quizzically and I slowly remove myself from Lexi.

"What's with the hugging?" He asks as he makes his way over to the kitchen, opening the cupboards.

"Lexi had an amazing sex with Niall, her new manager!" I shout out excitedly before Lexi reaches out and slams her hand over my mouth.

"What the hell Skye?" She scolds, "you don't say that to a sixteen-year-old!"

"Basically seventeen," Leo pipes up casually while filling a class with apple juice.

I pull her palm off of my face and hold my hands up in mock defence, "hey, I keep telling you this, sex is a natural part of life and should be discussed openly and freely, especially as a woman." I say confidently.
