Slumber Party

   "Of course I don't mind, Cate. We both saw how it was out there... you can't go home in this. She's right" Y/N was impressed with herself for how well she was composing herself. "Okay, but I'm taking the floor!" Cate insisted. "No, you're taking my bed. I am taking the floor" she insisted.

   Before Cate could object, Y/N was making her way up the stairs. She stopped near the top, looking down to Cate. She nodded up, indicating for Cate to follow. "Erm... uhm... goodnight!" Cate said out loud, to whoever would respond honestly. Not to any particular person.

   Dan just nodded as he grabbed the rest of the plates off the table. Yolanda probably didn't hear her over the sink. She headed up the steps after Y/N in an awkward manner. "I'll get you some pjamas" Y/N smiled.

   "I haven't had a slumber party in years" Cate laughed, making light out of the situation. "It'll be fun! We'll watch a scary movie and eat popcorn!" Y/N joked. "That... actually sounds fun!" Cate laughed. "Okay, your the guest" Y/N smirked. This made Cates face heat up, she hid it well, though.

   Cate didn't know what was happening to her... she never felt this way about her as a student of course. She would never dream of a thing but now... she was an adult after all. It wasn't really wrong, was it? Why does the very idea feel so taboo then? Is it the age? 80 year old men marry 20 year olds all the time and no one fucking bats an eye. Why did it feel strange for her? She was only 54.... But
Y/N was 22. Fuck that was young.

   Cate didn't know what to do. She knew her intentions were pure and it was not a weird thing at all. Two consenting adults... if she felt the same way, that is. Cate still didn't know that part of the equation. "Just take it easy, take it slow... we'll see how it plays out" she thought to herself. "God, her lips are so beautiful" she thought to herself.

   Y/N started talking, snapping her out of it. "Cate?" Y/N asked. She must've asked a question.... Shit. "What?" Cate asked, admitting she wasn't listening. Y/N just laughed. "I asked what scary movie you wanted to watch" she smirked.

   "Oh..." Cate laughed. "I... I'm okay with whatever you decide!" She said, nervously. "This is weird for you, isn't it?" Y/N asked. "What? No! It..." Cate stopped herself. "A little, yes..." she admitted. "I'm sorry..." Y/N said sincerely. "Oh no, darling it's not your fault" Cate smiled.

   Y/N smiled, not saying anything, waiting for Cate to explain further. "It's... not you. I just feel odd staying over at someone's house. That's all. It's not you, I promise" Cate grabbed her hand without even thinking of it. Y/N looked at her hand in hers, then up at Cate.

   Cate did the same and quickly released her hand. "I'll change into my pjamas!" Cate excused herself. "Or... your pjamas..." she joked. This made Y/N smile and laugh for a moment. "I wonder why she's so nervous... is it me? Is my flirting making her nervous?" Y/N worried, biting her nails.

   The bathroom door was cracked. "Don't look, don't look" Y/N thought to herself. She did look, though... she did. Through the crack, she could make out her entire figure in the mirror. She unzipped her dress, and it fell to the floor, leaving her in her black lace bra and underwear.

   Y/N scanned her body up and down, in awe. "Fuck, she's so beautiful" she thought to herself. She finally looked up from her ass and her eyes met Cates. Cate noticed she was looking and Y/N wondered how long she's noticed her staring like that. She was so embarrassed. She quickly looked away, blushing.

   "How could I invade her privacy like that? God, Y/N... what is wrong with you?" She thought to herself. She just sat there on her bed, waiting for Cate to come out. Should she acknowledge what they both already knew or should she just play it off as if nothing happened?

"Shit Y/N.... You really do get yourself into some shit don't you?" She thought to herself. "Let's just wait and see what Cate does/says" she thought. She waited there for a good second, what felt like 20 minutes but it was probably only about 5.

Cate walked out in Y/N's oversized Stevie Wonder shirt and her Nike running shorts. Fuck... she was hot. Her hair was down and wavy, brushed out but not frizzy. She had taken her makeup off and washed her face. Her skin looked so beautiful. God, she was stunning... naturally so fucking gorgeous, it actually hurt. Y/N didn't say a word, just waited for Cate. She didn't even look at her. She couldn't.

"She can't even look at you... God, Cate... why didn't you shut the door? You're so embarrassing. Damn it" Cate thought to herself. Neither one said a word. There was an awkward silence, that felt like an hour but was probably only ten minutes in reality.

"I'm sorry... I should've shut the door" Cate looked down at her nails. "Instead, I've created a very awkward situation" Cate laughed nervously. "No, I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have looked. I should be sorry, truly. I really invaded your privacy, Cate. I'm sorry!" Y/N looked at her, a nervous wreck.

"It was an accident..." Cate started. "I know but you shouldn't blame yourself for me not being able to control myself" Y/N shook her head. Cate was unsure of what she meant by that statement. She stayed silent. "I have more self control than that... I'm not a fucking teenager. I should not have looked. Instead, I invaded your privacy. God, I'm worse than a teenager..." Y/N shook her head.

"She couldn't be attracted to you... that's not what she means" cate thought to herself and stayed silent still, hoping
Y/N would go on. "This is so embarrassing, I see a beautiful woman and I act like an idiot... I'm sorry Cate, can you forgive me?" Y/N looked at her, biting her nails.

Cate looked at her, smiling. "She does think you're attractive... fuck" Cate thought to herself. "Stop biting your nails, dear" Cate winked, grabbing her hand and pulling it away from her face. Y/N was completely silent and Cate held her hand still, not letting go. They just stared into one another's eyes.

For a moment, Y/N thought she saw Cate look at her lips and there it was... a glimpse of something in her eyes. Then a knock on the door... and the look was gone. "Yes?" Y/N asked, clearing her throat nervously. "Just checking on you girls... do you need anything?" Yolanda asked, looking at Cate.

"No, I'm all settled. Y/N got me a pair of pjamas, and I'm all settled" Cate smiled. "Good good, alright well... goodnight girls!" Yolanda smiled and shut the door behind her. Cate cleared her throat. "So... any idea what movie you'd like to watch?" Cate smirked.

"Hmmm... The Shining?" Y/N suggested. Cate smiled widely. "It so happens, I love that movie" Cate smiled at her, sincerely. "I've never seen it, actually!" Y/N admitted. "Oh, then I'm glad to be here and witness this..." Cate got an excited look on her face, eager to show her the film.

"One thing about me, I'm a film buff... one might say a Cinephile" Cate laughed. "Honestly, some days I think I missed my calling. I should've been an actress" Cate admitted. "An actress???" Y/N laughed. "What??" Cate looked at her and laughed. "I don't know... I don't see it" Y/N squinted. Cate just pushed her shoulder, teasingly. "You're a little shit, you know that?" Cate shook her head and turned the movie on for them.
