The Lotus's Flame

Kaitlyn Part 6

 The next several weeks at college were highly hectic for Kaitlyn. She had tons of work from all her classes. Bailey and she barely had time to hang out, let alone meet anyone new on campus. She was having a difficult time paying attention to her professors. Her thoughts kept returning to the erotic dream she had many weeks ago. The memory of it kept her up at night with thoughts of Jax. She let out a small giggle as she thought of how suffocating her life had been before coming to California. She had never thought of listening to the Seeds of Sorrow's music back in Georgia, let alone have fantasies about their singer. Their music seemed to talk to her soul, pleading with her to listen.

Kaitlyn glanced to see where Bailey had worked hard on her class project. She had become such a dear friend. Kaitlyn was glad she had taken her under her wing, showing her the latest fashions and style. Bailey got her to see she was far too beautiful to hide behind those ugly old-fashioned dresses and that long-style haircut she had when she first arrived. Looking at her now, Kaitlyn laughed, remembering the night Bailey told her she couldn't help but be slightly jealous of her beauty and innocence. She remembered her also telling her that her lips were so round and full she found even herself tempted to kiss them. Kaitlyn knew there was nothing gay about Bailey, yet when she said this to her, it made her blush.

After all her classes ended, Kaitlyn met with Bailey, and they walked back to their dorm together. "Kaitlyn, I have been thinking a lot about the fact you have never been kissed. It is a pity. As a good friend, I will ensure you get kissed long and hard by the right man. Tomorrow, there is a Seeds of Sorrow concert, and it so happens that I have backstage passes. I know I am supposed to take Jewel as promised because we always take turns taking one another to the concerts. However, it has been weeks, and she has not called or come by. This time, I want to take you, no matter the cost. My friend, you are far too innocent and pure, yet full of life and spirit, to stay pinned up here at the dorm. You desperately need man's hungry kisses and caresses," Bailey insisted.

Kaitlyn looked into Bailey's eyes to see that she was serious and genuinely wanted her to go with her. She had a sly grin on her face, and mischief crept into those blue irises of hers.
"I don't know, Bailey," Kaitlyn said in hesitation.

"I have only been kissed twice, and I am afraid I will be awful at it."

"Oh, come on, Kaitlyn, please. It is like riding a bike; you never really forget. I just want you to go to the concert with me tomorrow night so damn bad," Bailey begged with a massive grin on her face.

"Besides, Jax will be there; you could meet him in the flesh."

Kaitlyn was so excited that she could barely speak. She was finally going to get to see Jax in the flesh, finally, to see if he was as unique as Bailey made him out to be. She bit her lower lip. "All right, I will go, I promise, but I will not be kissing anyone," she laughed nervously.

Bailey was thrilled. She grabbed Kaitlyn into a giant bear hug that nearly squeezed the life from her lungs. "I will teach you how to kiss, both French and basic, if you want," she offered teasingly.

Kaitlyn's face flamed, her voice barely a whisper, "I don't know..." she stammered, her uncertainty palpable.

"Go over to the closet, see what you want to wear. If you change your mind, I am willing to teach," Bailey taunted.

"If there isn't anything you want in the closet, we can go shopping again," she laughed when Kaitlyn dodged her last comment.

When her legs stopped trembling, Kaitlyn jumped off her bed and ran to her closet. Inside, she searched for the perfect outfit to wear to the concert. She wanted to wear something exciting yet not too revealing. Finally, she spotted the ideal sky-blue dress she tried on in the store that second day. It would barely reach her knees, which was perfect; it would say sexy but not sleazy. A sense of relief washed over her as she knew she had found the right outfit.
