SPARKS

Chapter 4

       Helen drank five bottles from the six she brought to veronica's place, Veronica nursed only one bottle as she listened to Helen talk.
         "Enough talk about my ex's, tell me about yours", Helen said suddenly.
         "There's nothing to tell", Veronica answered and took a quick sip of the already hot drink in her hand.
        "What! There's always something to say about ex's, common spill or i will be offended cause i told you all about mine", Helen pretended to pout.
         "That's the truth, i never had a ex. I don't date", Veronica wanted to add men but thought better of it.
       Helen stared at her wide eyed.
        "In sec school then, you must have had someone. Maybe the one you slept with first?", Helen asked cautiously.
        Veronica's face became hot and red.
      "OMG!", Helen covered her mouth with her palm.
          "A virgin!. I'm sitting with a twenty-five year old virgin, how did you do it?", Helen exclaimed.
     Veronica winced.
       " It just happened, i was never interested in doing..... doing things ", Veronica said in a small voice.
         " Don't you ever feel horny? ", Helen asked in awe.
        Veronica shrugged.
    " Girl, you are going with me to the club tomorrow. I am a total bad influence, you are going to allow me spoil you. To think i liked how virginal and pure you seemed but you were are actually a virgin....wowwww"
       Veronica already regretted telling Helen anything.
            *             *             *
       Helen left her place around 11pm.
Veronica was so tired that somehow she and Helen ended up on her bed with Helen's head on her lap and they continued talking that way.
       After Helen left, Veronica went to bed immediately.
         The next morning, she woke up to the sound of birds chipping and calling out to each other.
Somehow she felt better then she used to on very other day and she knew the reason, Helen.
      She sighed and got up groggily from her bed, she padded towards her kitchenette and turned on the coffee maker. Heading back to her bed, she grabbed her laptop and sat down.
   Her door bell rang.
      She glanced up from the screen of her laptop and looked at the door wearily, she checked the time on her phone.
        "7:30am,who...."
The door bell rang again and she stood up quickly
     "Who is it",she asked as she went.
       "It's Helen", a voice replied on the other side of the door.
        Veronica stopped in front of the door and turned her key twice,the door opened.
      Helen stood outside the door looking pale but bright and fresh and smelling good, Veronica felt something gather between the secret part of her legs but ignored it.
          "Good to see you too", Helen said brushing past Veronica inside the apartment.
      "It's early", Veronica grumbled.
       "And of course you hate seeing people so early in the day, don't you?", Helen said with a smirk on her face.
      "I don't hate seeing people", Veronica answered folding her arms over her breasts.
    Her nipples was standing erect beneath Helen's piercing stare.
        "Right,you can lie about it all you want but i know you hate people but you know what?",she said sweetly.
        "What?", Veronica grumbled.
       "You love me", Helen said with a laugh.
        Veronica's face turned red
      "What?", Veronica asked urgently.
     "You do,you don't push me away. I am not stupid Vee,i know i come on too strong sometimes and you could have totally turned me down and called the cops on me but she let me stay, which means you totally love me", Helen said this laughing.
          Veronica did not realize she had been holding her breath until she released it.
           "Yeah",she muttered.
         "Sooooo i today i will be needing your credit card", Helen said searching through her bag maniacally for sometime.
       "What! Why?"
        "Come on. I am not going to run away with it or anything and we are going to be in the store together the whole time but i get to pick out your dresses, so i will need your credit card", she explained still searching through her bag.
       "I did not know i was supposed to pick out dresses today", Veronica answered with an eye roll.
        " Well, no you do", Helen said lamely.
         "Why are we keeping out dresses?", Veronica asked suspiciously as she climbed the bed.
        "Cause you are going clubbing tonight", Helen sighed.
          "I don't want to go clubbing, i told you ...."
          "I know what you said but i am saying you need to go to a club and loosen up and besides, it's been weeks since the last time i had sex. I want to find someone too", Helen cut in quickly.
         Veronica felt something tighten in her chest.
       "What if i don't want to meet a guy or loosen up", she said turning her face away from Helen's stare.
         "Every girl wants to meet a guy", Helen answered taking out her phone with a triumphant smile on her face.
   Veronica sighed and continued drinking her already cold coffee.
