The last person I expected to see, the person I gave up tonight's party for, was standing in front of my door. "Won't you invite me in?" she said in a small voice. "Yea-uh no, you are not welcome here" I regained my senses and make to slam the door on her face because that's the right thing to do. Is it? She moved closer and before I could process what's happening, her lips were already on mine. Rational thoughts went out the window and I wasted no time in enclosing her slender waist in my arms. I pulled her inside and kicked the door shut then led her towards the couch. After we broke apart for the much needed air, hands still on her waist, I asked. "What are you doing here?" "Shut up and lie down", she said in a raspy voice, turning me on the more. Her eyes had darkened and without further protest, I laid on the couch and pulled her with me. *** Ginny McCarthy is a high school popular girl who is in love with the bad boy Jude.
