Then Came Blue_ girlxgirl.

Chapter 4

You know when you feel like you've been caught doing something wrong, well that's exactly how I feel right now.
I'm seated on the floor trying to make my self look less guilty of exactly what I'm sure the people at the door will automatically assume we were doing. I try to put my hair back in place, wipe off any drool incase I got any on me while checking out Blue as she walked to the door. She runs her hand through her hair to take it a bit as she pulls the door open, letting in a stream of people. Five to be specific, three girls and two guys.
"Have you guys never heard of phones?" Blue grumbles.
"Woman, what are you doing in here in the dark?" One very loud girl asks. She hasn't noticed me sitting down on the floor. And then she does. "Oh, one of those weekends I see," she adds, wagging her eyes brows at Blue.
One of those? I look at Blue who's still by the door and she shrugs at me. To her friend she says, "Shut up."
Her friends smile goes wider like something just clicked into place and she says,"Oohhh, one of those others."
"How many 'thoses' are there exactly?" I ask as I uncurl myself from the floor and stand up.
The two guys made a beeline for the kitchen the minute they got in.  One of the girls gas taken residence on the couch moving her eyes from me to Blue and to their talking friend. She looks amused. The third girl, a very hot third girl I might add is still standing next to Blue by the door. The hot girl by the door has blue highlights in her hair, she's got all the right curves in all the right places, she's very pretty and I don't necessarily like the way she's standing so close to Blue.
Blue moves from the door and comes to stand beside me with her arm around my waist. "There are no 'thoses'" she says, shooting her friend a glare. "And these very rude people are my friends,"she adds.
"The loud mouth is Kiara," she points to the loud girl who talked about the 'thoses', then to the quite one seated on the couch, "That's Lona," and finally to the pretty one who's still standing by the door, looking not in the least bit as amused as Lona, "and that over there is Skylar."
"Hi." I give an awkward wave.I am socially awkward introvert who has never known what to do with herself in the midst of a large group of strangers. I really don't do well with new people.
"Oh, and the pigs in the kitchen are Kenji and Ethan," Blue adds.
"Hey guys, Blue's calling you pigs again." Its the loud mouth again. Lona and Skylar haven't said anything to me or Blue.
Kenji and Ethan come out gobling slices of pizza.
"What's up?" One asks with a full mouth barely looking up from what he's eating. The other however notices me standing there in just Blue's nightshirt. He let's out a loud whistle, looking me up and down like I'm another slice of pizza.
"Kenji, eyes off!" Blue says warningly, pulling me closer to her. That helps me figure out who Ethan is and who Kenji is.
Skylar,moving from where she was standing by the door scoffs with an eye roll and comes to join Lona on the couch. Something seems off about Skylar but what do I know, I've only just met her. Maybe she scowls like that all the time.
"B, who is this hoochie?" Kenji asks,  coming to stand before us. He shoves the rest of the pizza in his mouth, wipes his hands on his jeans and offers me his hand.
"Hi, I'm Kenji, its a pleasure." He takes my hand, raising it to his lips for a kiss.
"Hm, I've been called a hoochie and curtsied in the same breath, stranger things have happened." I reply. "And I'm Riley," I add.
I'm a bit amused but this performance but Blue on the other hand, not so much. She bats Kenjis hands from mine and drags me to her 'bedroom'. "Babe, how about we get you something to coverup, huh? I don't like the way Kenji is looking at you." She pecks me on the cheek and moves to dig through her closest for the second time tonight. Her little act of possessiveness is cute.
I turn back to look at the commotion now in the living area. Lona and Kiara have taken over our popcorn and icecream, Ethan who's done with eating is complaining about chic flicks and fiddling with the TV. Kenji is standing where we left him looking our way, making me uncomfortable and self-conscious.
What really catches my attention is Skylar. She's seated in one corcer of the couch, head turned, staring right at us, well, at Blue and I don't like this, not even a bit. She catches me looking at her and sneers at me. I sense she doesn't like me and I doubt she'll be my favorite person either.
Blue comes back with a pair of sweats for me, and herself thank God because Skylar's staring isn't sitting well with me.
"Here, put these on," she hands them to me.
"What's her problem?" I whisper, looking at Skylar over my shoulder.
"Who? Sky?" She asks.
Sky? They even have cute nicknames. I feel the little green monster in me rear its head but these are her friends, I need to keep it together.
"Yeah, her. She keeps glaring at me." I can feel the whine in my own voice.
She looks at 'Sky' over her shoulder. "Don't worry about her, maybe she's just going through something. Come, let's go join the merry making."
I get up to go but she pulls me back and into her arms and looks at me
"I'm really sorry about them interrupting our weekend, I promise I didn't know they planned on dropping by."
"Its fine, we still have tomorrow, and like they say, the more the merrier."
"You're amazing," she says, kissing me chastely on the lips.
So we move back to the living area. Shameless is still on surprisingly. I thought Ethan would have removed it. He's now seated in one bean pretending not to be watching, I can tell he is. The girls are watching though, intently, expect for Skylar who keeps tracking our every move.
"Where's Kenji?" Blue asks.
"He went to look for booze, if this night is going to end, we'll need booze." Ethan says from where he's seated.
"You know you could go pass it elsewhere, I don't know why you're all here," Blue grumbles.
"Blue, we do this every weekend. I don't see any reason we can't do it this one too." Skylar speaks up for the first time since they walked in. She looks directly at me when she says 'any reason'. She really has it out for me and she's just met me.
"I know but did it have to be my place this weekend too?"
"You have the biggest place, and you always have food." Kiara says. She's seated on one arm of the couch with her feet up in the chair munching loudly on popcorn.
"And it wouldn't kill you to have booze every once in a while," Kenji says, walking in from his beer run.
"You guys are pain." Blue seems irate. We are seated together in the blue bean bag so I rub her back as if to smooth over her ruffled feathers.
"Chill hmm?" I whisper to her and she noticebly starts to relax. She cuddles close into me and that's how we pass the evening. At some point the tv becomes background noise and the friends talk, laugh, shout, make jokes at each other's expense and me watching their dynamic mostly in silence. Kiara and Kenji make enough noise between the two of them, Lona and I bond over being the two quietest ones and Skylar never stops glaring, she only joins in the conversation when necessary. Blue's friends are easy to get along with except Skylar ofcourse and I really don't mind that they crashed our night. Kenji has even stopped looking at me like a piece of steak.
I don't know for how long we've been seated here 'watching' episode after episode, talking, laughing but I'm beginning to get thirsty and my legs need to stretch. As if reading my mind Blue whispers in my ear, "Hey, I'm going to get a drink, want anything?"
"Yeah, a glass of juice wouldn't hurt. Thanks."  I swat her ass as she walks away, can't help myself. Kiara and Lona are looking at me with weird smiles and when I ask,"What?" they don't say anything.. Skylar gets up and follows Blue into the kitchen. Don't look, don't look, don't look becomes a mantra in my head but I can't not look, so I look.
Blue is standing at the counter with her back facing us and Skylar comes to stand behind her, a little closer than is necessary I think. They are talking, but whatever it is they are talking about makes Blue tense up. Skylar reaches out and touches Blues arm. Does she have to touch her? And why is Blue letting her? I hate that I'm looking and what's its doing to me but I can't seem to look away.
"You have nothing to worry about you know," Lona says. She's seen me looking.
"Uh,what?"
"About those two, you don't have to worry. Their thing has been over for years," she says. She's eating from the tin of icecream I had earlier before they arrived. I wonder if it's still any good.
"Their thing?" I ask, seeking clarity.
"They dated for about two years." This comes from Ethan. Now I understand the attitude all day. They are now all looking at me. I look toward the kitchen again, Blue and Skylar haven't moved.
Wow, she dated that hot a person? Does she date only supermodel types? Do I even measure up? What am I doing here? I don't have even half the rack Skylar hers. My insecurities start creeping up on me and  it's making me self conscious. Kiara apparetly notices my distress and takes pity on me. "Do you need some of this ice cream? Lona, give the girl some icecream."
"Come, sit." Lona pats the space next to her. I cast a glance in the direction of the kitchen again but it doesn't look like Blue will be coming back with that juice anytime soon so I get off our  bean bag and join Lona and Kiara on the couch. Lona and I pass the meltedicecream between us but icecream is icecream.. On TV, Frank is going crazy over the doctor with cancer.
By the time Blue gets back with the juice I've gotten comfortable with Lona and Kiara. We are laughing at something_
"Babe, what are you doing over there? You can't let me sit here all by myself," she says as she plops back in our seat.
"She looks pretty comfy where she is," Skylar says from the kitchen butI ignore her.
Why didn't Blue just tell me she was her ex earlier when I asked. Skylar comes back and sits beside Ethan and I hope I hear Ethan say something like, "Could you maybe tone down the attitude just little?"
"The princess calls," I whisper to Lona and get up and return to Blue because that's where I really want to be. My mind might not be in the happiest places with her right now but still want to be by her side. And I'm really itching to ask her somethings. She pulls me into her warmth and I let  her for a few minutes then ask, "Your ex, huh?"
I thought I'd whispered it but seems like it was a loud whisper.
"And that's our cue to leave!" Kiara announces loudly which I've come to learn is just her way. They all make sounds of agreement as they begin to get up. There's a bustling of activity as they all gather up their stuff.
Blue and I, awkwardness between us, get up to show them to the door.
"It was nice meeting you Riley," they all say with a hug each one except of course for Skylar.
"And good luck mate!" Kenji says to Blue followed by a boisterous laugh as they walk out. They all hug Blue and walk out into the night.

When the door closes behind them I busy myself cleaning up their mess,  I need something to do. The air feels tense somehow and its all on me, me and my big mouth. I just met the girl a week ago but I'm already acting like I own her. I've never really been one to get jealous so easily but Blue makes me lose myself.
"Babe? Riley? Come have a seat, please?"
She's seated on the couch, patting the space next to her, just like Lona did when she called me for icecream. I put down the dirty cups I'd picked up go sit next to her. I've never felt comfortable having these serious intense conversations but she helps me out with that. She gets up from where she's seated gets in my lap, straddling me, leaving me with no option really than to look at her.She cups my face in her hands. I am looking into those brown eyes and I know whatever she says, I'll never doubt her. How could I?
"Yes, Skylar is my ex. We dated for over two years but have been broken up for almost a year and a half. I'm sorry I didn't tell you when you asked me what her deal was earlier,"she says.
"Why?" I ask.
"Why what? Why did I date her?"
"No Blue, why didn't you tell me?"
"Well I didn't think it would come up," she says looking sheepish.
"Your ex and the person you are almost probably kind of dating find themselves in the same room and you don't think it would come up?"
"Maybe I should say I hoped it didn't come up, I'm really sorry babe, I should have said something."
"Are you friends with all your exes?" I want to know. If we never work, will she still be friends with me too?
"Uh, yeah?" She states it as a question because she isn't sure how I might take it. It doesn't really bother me unless they don't all seem as territorial as Skylar.
"And are they all still in love with you?" But what am I even asking, of course they are, what's not to love.
"Not quite, Skylar just doesn't seem to know breakup etiquette." I want to ask what happened with them but I think I've been nosy enough for one night. Breakup etiquette, that makes me smile.
I also want to ask what Kiara meant by 'one of those' but maybe I'll ask Kiara when I get to see her again, after all she's the one who said it. And I have a feeling Blue won't tell me.
"Anyway you're right, you should have told me about her but now you have so its alr_" I cut myself off with a yawn.
"Aww, is someone tired?" Blue asks, bringing her face closer to mine to give me an eskimo kiss. I sneeze immediately after. That's me, anything or anyone that isn't me touches my nose, I sneeze. Blue laughs and does it again and I sneeze again. She's finding this interesting.
"I should probably get going too, what time is it?"
"Get going? Where to?" Blues eyes widen. "I sure hope you mean to that bed over there. "
"Oh, I'm staying the night?" Yeessss! "But I didn't carry any over night stuff."
"Don't you worry, night clothes are an option in this house. Come on, let's get you to the shower and then to bed.
She gets off me, takes my hand to her 'room', gives me a clean towel and pushes me to the bathroom.
"I'll be cleaning up this mess, don't take too long."
Of course I don't, I've never been one to take long showers. I'm glad I always carry an extra pair of panties just in case so I slip into my panties and sit on the bed. I can hear Blue tinkering somewhere in the kitchen, I think I should go help but I'm so beat. Maybe if I could just put my head down for a second...and so I do. Her bed smells so much like her. I pick one of those cream pillows and hold it to my face and breathe her in.
I think I might have fallen asleep. I wake up to Blue shaking me gently.
"Riley you need to get under the covers, come on, get up."
My mind is cloudy with sleep but I don't miss Blues lithe tattooed body in her panties. She looks pretty perfect, and shes naked but my sleep muddled brain doesn't allow me dwell on that for long. I slip under the covers and she slips in right behind me. She smells fresh and clean, I'm guessing she just took a shower while I was out. She slips her hand around my waist and pulls me against her, her front plastered to my back. I'm too sleepy to fake complain about being made the small spoon. She presses her face against my neck and breathes.
"Mmmh... Goodnight Riley".
I'm lulled to sleep by the warmth of her body against mine, surrounded by her perfume, her scent, her warmth, her presence.
Its a peaceful slumber.
