It was the second off day, and Amber was spending time painting in the living room, when Ellen came in looking disheveled and upset. "What's wrong Elle?" Amber asked her. "I just don't think I can go to work today." Ellen replied. Ellen went back in her room and kept the door open a crack. Amber went to the door and asked if she wanted her to come in. Ellen muttered a "I guess." and Amber came in and sat next to her friend. Ellen moved from sitting with her back against the head bored to next to Amber. "Amber, I feel guilty" She said looking at the floor. "What about?"Amber asked. She was almost freaking out, hoping it wasn't about that night. When Ellen slid her arm around her back, she knew it was. "I can't help how I feel about you." Ellen said. Amber slid away a little. Ellen felt and looked hurt. She continued to talk. "Look, I know what happened, we are sorta past, right? What if we just do what makes us happy?" She looked into Amber's eyes and grasped both of her hands. Amber looked down a moment. She thought of when Ellen had turned down a relationship before. Wanting just benefits. But, she also thought of how this person she felt so comfortable with, who was super cute and fun, was now asking to be together. Amber kissed Ellen, and they pulled each other closer. Ellen pulled Amber's pants down and rubbed her threw her panties. Amber moaned and arched her back to the pleasure that was building up inside. Elle took off her own pants and shirt. They continued to undress each other and kiss passionately, then Elle leaned back on the bed and Pulled Amber close so she could hear her pounding heart. Amber nuzzled into her chest, as Elle stroked her inside and gently rubbed her clit, fingering her deep. Amber started to rub Elle's pussy when Elle reached into her end table and pulled out a stethoscope. Amber noticed it and got embarrassed. Elle giggled and handed Amber the ear pieces and put the other end against her pounding heart. Amber stared into Elle's bright green eyes. Elle's heart beat faster and they began fingering each other harder. They pushed there hips together and grinded, and rubbed each other, Amber being thrilled more by the second. It didn't take long for them to climax, and Amber fell asleep to the sound of Elle's heart beat. When she woke up, Amber was surprised to wake up still in Elle's arms. "Hey." Said Ellen as she kissed Amber's forehead. It was around four in the morning. They got washed up and dressed and headed outside to sit on the swing. Amber was happy for the most part, but something told her she shouldn't have gone in Elle's room last night. After they sat down, Elle lit up a blunt. She took a long hit, then handed it to a very surprised Amber. "Elle! What about the neighbors?" She asked, not sure who was watching. She took the blunt anyway and took a hit. It's pot. She's a stoner. No resistance. Elle chuckled. "Yeah well the dude down stairs doesn't care." She said. Amber froze for a second. How did she know? Amber could have sworn she didn't tell her about the note. Maybe she told her? She wasn't sure and just shrugged it off. As they sat there smoking and chatting about random things, they didn't notice the person approaching them. "Hey" the person said in a soft spoken male voice. Amber looked up into a pair of soft, brown eyes. The person before her was around her height, was pretty chubby, (but not super huge, a cute chubby), and had black hair that came to just above the shoulders. His hair looked like it was naturally a little curly, but straitened. He wore a lace and black velvet hoodie, black skinny jeans, and boots. "Hello, you must be smiley." Said Elle in a sweet voice. Amber felt like an asshole, but she couldn't help but find this guy interesting. He was wearing black eye liner and had other makeup on as well, but he was pulling it off well. "Yeah... uh haha.... I'm Jeff." He said, almost nervous but still cheerfully. The girls introduced themselves and the three of them hung out for a bit and smoked. Amber found out that Jeff was in fact the land lord Carl's nephew. He was 24, and needed a new start with his life. He also adored fashion and shopping and fun girly things. "My family thinks it's totally weird, but uncle Carl respects me, unlike the rest of the family." He said, still smiling, though you could see distant pain in his eyes. "Yeah, my family are baptists or addicts and none of them even give a shit what happens to me." Said Elle, a bit angry thinking about the past. "When I came out, my grand parents freaked the fuck out." Elle proceeded to light up another blunt and start walking around going off about her grandparents' religion and decided to go for a walk, leaving Amber alone with Jeff. "What's on your mind?" He asked as he sat on the swing next to Amber's. "Not much, except it's the thirtieth of October." She said and stared off into space. "All Hollow's eve." Jeff said in an exaggerated spooky voice. Amber almost smiled at the way he said that. "It's my birthday, dude." She said. Jeff looked at her surprised, then a hyper smile spread across his face. "Oh! We should so do something!" He cheered. Amber questioned his sanity. Ellen had just came back when he said that. "Shit, I forgot." She said frowning. "It's ok." Amber said quickly. " I forget sometimes myself. I may actually go to bed seems how it's morning." Ellen agreed and Jeff gave Amber his number and asked her to text him when she wakes up. Elle eyed him suspiciously, but then shrugged it off to him being a weirdo and followed Amber inside.
