“I’m open to it, Bunny. Nothing is set in stone. Like I said, I haven’t accepted any offers.”
The two exchanged a look that said they’d talk about it later while their friends watched the exchange.
“What’s going on here?” Octavia asked suspiciously.
“Huh?” Fateema responded nervously.
“What?” Lynx asked.
“Y’all heard me. What’s going on here?” she repeated as she pointed back and forth between Lynx and Fateema.
“Umm, nothing. What makes you think something is going on?” Lynx answered.
“Let’s start with you kissing at the front door,” Octavia blurted out.
“Kissing? For real?” Meaghan questioned with surprise.
“It’s about fucking time,” Joaquin declared.
“Hell yeah!” Adam exclaimed.
“Hold on! Y’all knew about this?” Octavia questioned.
“Be for real, Tay. We all knew something was up with them. How many times have we talked about it?” Adam asked.
“No, we allsuspectedsomethingmightbe happening between them, but that was before we left for school. It’s been almost two years since then,” Meaghan explained.
“Hello,” Fateema sang. “Y’all can stop talking about us like we aren’t in the room.”
“Well, spill it,” Octavia ordered. “Start from the beginning, and don’t lie.”
Fateema and Lynx looked at each other as if waiting for the other to speak.
“I guess the cat is out of the bag,” Lynx finally said. “Tell them, Bunny. You’re much better with words than I am.”
“It started the night of prom,” Fateema began.
“Prom? As in our senior prom,” Meaghan clarified as if they’d gone to another prom.
“Yes, and we did a lot of sneaking around that summer,” Fateema confessed.
“But why sneak around when we all knew something was brewing?” Joaquin asked.
“We didn’t know what y’all knew and didn’t want things to be weird within the group,” Lynx said.
“It wouldn’t have been weird because we expected this to happen eventually,” Adam informed them.
“Do Mr. Keno and Mr. Frasier know?” Meaghan asked.
“We haven’t told anyone. This has been our little secret since prom night,” Fateema said.
“Now that y’all know, don’t start pressuring us to do or be anything. We’re good doing what we’re doing,” Lynx warned.
Their secret was no longer a secret, and Fateema and Lynx felt a sense of relief. They had no plans to tell anyone else, but at least they didn’t have to hide from the only people they considered friends.
“Fuck, I missed this pussy,”Lynx mumbled against Fateema’s honeypot.
Their friends weren’t gone five minutes before they raced up the stairs and into Lynx’s bedroom. Fateema insisted they shower first, but he couldn’t wait that long. Before she could blink, he had her naked with her legs draped over his shoulders.
