Story: Little Miss Trouble (all chapters)

A young girl stood in line outside a popular, women’s only club. She shifted from side to side, occasionally biting her thumb nail in anticipation. She had heard about this place from some of her senior soccer team mates and just knew she had to check it out.

“Identification,” growled the huge female bouncer.

The young girl stood at her full height of near 6 foot and eyed the bouncer. “I’m 21, how can you not see that?” she challenged, stepping into the bouncer’s personal zone. The bouncer nodded her in.

She headed in and breathed out a sigh of relief. She wasn’t 21, but her athletic build made her look older. “Oh my god,” she breathed out as she looked around. The club had two levels, dance floor and bar on ground, and 2nd floor gathering spots for women doing what the young girl was hoping to achieve.

She leaned on the bar.

“What you having?” asked the bartender.

“Ummm, what have you got?” the girl asked, unsure.

The bar women leaned forward. “Let me put it this way, sweetheart, if you are going to order anything alcoholic I will be checking your ID.”

“Cola,” said the girl.

“Hmmm, thought you might.”

The girl moved around, occasionally talking to women. One woman offered to buy her a drink for a moment out back while trying to feel her up. She declined, and that’s when she saw her. The woman across the room was captivating with her body language and her infectious laugh. She wore ripped blue jeans that looked old but probably cost more than her soccer fees. Her black tight shirt exposed her in all the right areas. The young girl eventually breathed out. She looked back up and their eyes connected for a brief moment. The young girl eyes quickly and obviously diverted, but as she brought them back around to the woman, their eyes connected. The woman didn’t smile, just gave a little smirk.

Over other side of the room

“I think that girl over there is checking me out.”

“Lee, every woman checks you out, and can you please remember it’s my night. You can not go home with someone before me.”

Lee laughed. “Jeez, Jules, another all-nighter?”

Jules made a face and followed Lee’s gaze

“You’re kidding, they let them in younger and younger.”

Lee continued checking the girl out. “Look at her physique, she must work out. Those arms, and that chest.”

“Lee,” Jules whined, knowing her friend was occupied with her fantasy.

“I bet she’s a virgin, just look how she gazes around the club. I haven’t been with a virgin since…”

“Lee Evans, focus on me!”

Lee rolled her eyes at her drama friend.

The young woman continued to scan for her captivating woman but as more people piled in, she lost sight of the mystery woman in the black shirt. After 3 hours of drinking cola, some dancing, some kissing and some crotch fondling she headed to the toilet. As she went to push the door it opened up and bumped into her. The young girl blushed and Lee didn’t move out of the way, enjoying the effect she was having on this young woman.

“Hey you,” Lee cooed.

“Umm…” she stuttered, still not meeting her gaze.

“Haven’t seen you here before, and I kinda know most women here.”

“No, I’ve been around, just not all the time.” The young girl stumbled out. She wanted to dive down the nearest toilet bowl.

“Well, consider yourself seen,” Lee flirted as she seductively brushed past, their chests almost touching in the narrow doorway.

Later on in the night

Lee had scored herself a few sexual gropes out the back and one woman was kind enough to eat her out, but Jules still had not scored herself a date home.

“Fuck it, I’m outta here.” Jules tried to grab Lee, but she pulled away.

“Hey, it’s only gone 1 am, just cos you’ve given up…”

“Ohhh no…I didn’t score, you don’t, that was the agreement.”

They left the club and made for the taxis when Lee spotted someone sitting on a stone fence opposite to club. She watched Jules get into her taxi, but she kept on walking.

The young woman watched the crowd leaving the club.

“Looking for me?” Lee asked confidently.

The young woman shrugged.

Yeah, a virgin, thought Lee, and she was going to have her. After all the alcohol and some alternative lollies provided by Jules she was horny as hell and wasn’t going home alone.

“Yeah you were, you’ve been checking me out most of the night.”

The young woman didn’t know what to say, she knew if she spoke it was going to come out stupid.

“Well, if you don’t want to talk, fine.” Lee started to walk away.

“I’m Shayne… I prefer Shay, though,” she breathed out.

Lee smiled with her back to Shay. “Ok… so, Shay…” Lee faced her and leaned in close, her lips almost touching Shay’s ear.

“You wanna come home with me?” she propositioned straight out.

Shay was taken aback, she wasn’t expecting this type of action so soon. She wasn’t sure if she was ready, but this woman wanted her. Shay had seen women crowding around the woman in the black shirt all night, but she wanted her. She had chosen her to take home.

“Ummm...”

Lee could feel Shay’s nervousness and knew how cruel she was being, but it didn‘t stop her from teasing. Lee placed a hand under Shays shirt, near her heart. Shay’s breathing quickened. Lee leaned in again.

“Your heart is racing in there, it’s telling me you want to.”

“Oh, you can,” Shay started, but her words were smothered by Lee’s lips. Her tongue explored deep, taking all of Shay’s air.

Lee broke the kiss and felt the young girl shaking and smirked. ‘You’re so fucking cruel, Lee,” she thought to herself.

“Your head is saying, if you don’t go home with me, you are going to regret it for the rest of your life,” Lee bragged.

Lee stepped back and held out her hand. Shay took it and they walked off towards a taxi. On the way home Lee’s hand ran over Shay’s chest, under her shirt, feeling her tight abs.

“I can’t wait to see you naked, ’cause if you look half as good as you feel, I’m just going to cream myself.”

Shay giggled and found her lips captured again. This time she returned the kiss.

Lee climbed from the taxi, dragging her piece of sexual meat for the night behind her. They entered the lobby and took the lift to her apartment. Shay’s arousal spiked as Lee forced her to the corner of the lift and started trailing kisses all over her neck. “I going to fuck you, Shay, until you beg me to stop, and even then I’m not going to stop.”

“O-okay...”

They arrived at Lee’s door, but there was no lock. Lee punched in a code, the door unlocked, and lights came on. Shay walked in. She had never seen a place like this. There were no real privacy walls, the living area and bedroom were separated by a glass petition, and the shower cubicle in the bed room was transparent glass as well.

“Fuck, you own this place?” Shay asked.

Lee wasn’t interested in Shay’s amazement. “Uh-huh.” She grabbed Shay and dragged her to the bedroom. Lee unbuttoned her own shirt and discarded it in a corner. She started to unbuckle her jeans and noticed Shay standing still, looking nervous. “Well… are you just going to stand there? Take your clothes off.”

Shay pulled her t-shirt off and found Lee standing in front of her, totally naked. She was gorgeous. She had a tattoo on her hip and on her back, a nipple ring, and her belly button was pieced. Impatient, Lee pushed Shay onto the bed and grabbed her shoes, pulling them off, followed by her pants. Lee straddled her, pinning her down.

“Now that’s better, now I can see all of you.” She dragged her wet pussy up and down Shay’s chest. “I’m so fucking hot for you, feel how wet you’ve made me.” Lee kisses Shay and bends towards her ear. “I know you are a virgin”

Shay blushed. “Um, no I’m not...”

“Really? So, come on then, Shay, make me cum.”

Shay was out of her league, so Lee continued her sexual torture of the young woman and sat up and over her face, drops of her juices falling onto Shay’s face.

“I want you to eat me, Shay, I want you to lick, suck me off.” She lowered her pussy and arched back when Shay did exactly was she was told, her tongue working around. Shay felt like she was drowning and running out of air, there was so much cream from Lee.

“Ahhhh... Yeah, that’s it, Shay, fuck me, baby….fuck me. Get that tongue in there,” she instructed as she gyrated over Shay’s face.

Shay pushed her tongue in and around and felt Lee’s body convulse and her climax washed over Shay. Lee moved to the side and watched Shay wipe her saturated face.

“You like that.”

Shay nodded and Lee pinned her again without any further discussion. “Your body is a fucking goddess, I’ve got to have you, you are so incredibly fuckable.” She licked up and around Shay’s chest and breasts, suckling the nipple tall.

“How do you keep yourself in shape? Gym?”

“Umm…” Shay was having trouble stringing a sentence together. “I play…soccer…” her hips lifted when Lee penetrated her, pushing in deep and slow before inserting a second finger.

“Your hole is fucking tight.”

Shay groaned. Lee’s continual praise of her body and intense touch had her over the edge in seconds. Lee had only gotten started when the young woman came immediately.

Lee laughed. “Wow…. I’m good… I hardly got to pay your clit any attention”

Shay felt ashamed and went to move away.

“Don’t… now that we have your first orgasm out the way, lets fuck.”

It was after 3am when they finished their sexual workout and both passed out.

Lee had showered, dressed, and was drinking coffee. She looked at the sleeping girl before poking her. “hey you get up, I have to go to work”

The young girl rolled over, exposing everything. “Come back to bed”

Lee sneered. “No.. some of us have to work for a living, love… out.”

“Can I least have a shower?” Shay whined.

“5 minutes.”

Lee’s head was a little worse for wear as she watched the girl shower. She looked younger now than she did last night. Lee looked at her watch. It was 7am, she needed to get in to work before 8am for her meeting.

Lee got on the phone with her secretary. “Bev, have all the reports been submitted and ready for me when I get in.”

She looked at the girl in the shower, washing herself, her breasts, her triangular patch. Fuck, this girl was hot, and in her shower… maybe she could…

“Bev, I’m running late, I won’t be in till 8.30. I’ve got a flat battery.” Lee threw her phone on the bed.

Shay was about to turn off the shower when she felt a draught from behind. She turned around in the cosy shower to be confronted with Lee.

Lee kissed the girl. “I apologise for my manners… good morning.. um”

“Shayne. It’s Shay.”

“That’s right. Sorry, the whole alcohol and lollies thing. But to tell you the truth, having a hot chick like you in my shower shouldn’t go to waste and I’m a big one for morning sex.”

They moved about the shower until Lee had wedged her lover in a corner. They rubbed and fondled each other until both were sexually satisfied. Lee met Shay’s stare.

“So, how old are you, anyway?” Seeing her up close, she was definitely not as old as she had thought last night.

Shay laughed nervously. “I’m 20..”

“Bullshit….” Lee poked and licked her nipple. “Tell me or I’m going to rip your nipple off,” she said, holding her nipple between her teeth.

Shay closed her eyes. “I’m 15, will be 16 in a few months, though.”

Lee backed up and hit the door. “What… you’re only….fuck…”

Lee stumbled from the shower and wrapped a towel around herself. “Fuck fuck fuck,” she growled louder.

Shay got out and wrapped towel around her body. “Don’t freak out, it’s no big deal.”

“Yeah it’s a big fucking deal, I’m ….fucking 13 years older than you!”

“Really? Cool,” said Shay, proud of her achievement.

“No… not cool. Jesus, do have any idea how much trouble I could get into for fucking you? I hope the neighbors didn’t see. I didn’t do you in the lift…please.”

“No.”

“Thank god, I don’t want to get into trouble for that again. Fucking hell, 15...”

“Will you relax? It’s not like you didn’t enjoy it, right?” Shay touched Lee, but was pushed away.

“Get dressed and get out now before the Child Protection Service comes looking for you.”

After dressing they headed to the door. “Ummm, can I get a lift home?” asked Shay

“No…. walk or bus,” said an unfeeling Lee.

“I have no money, and it’s, like, 30.00 for taxi at least.”

“Fine.” Lee pulled out her wallet and handed her 60.00. “Get a taxi, get breakfast… and get lost.”

It was lunch time, and Jules was going on about her hopeless love life. Lee sat there quietly, her sun glasses on her head and her mind on other things.

“And then ….” Jules continued, noticing Lee’s lack of attention, “she stuck her huge, black dick in my ass.”

Lee frowned. “What…she what!?”

“You’re not listening, which means the floor is yours.”

“It’s nothing… just tired”

“So she was that good?”

“What the fuck do you mean?” Lee snapped defensively.

“Hey…. What’s wrong? You haven’t eaten your lunch and you’ve hardly said two words to me.”

“Jules… I did something bad…”

“Like… worse than filming yourself having sex with your ex-boss’s daughter and sending it to him?”

Lee sat forward. “You remember that girl…. Last night in bar checking me out?”

Jules laughed. “Hmmmm which one? Huge African queen, your ex, or one of the three women that you took out back?”

“The young one.”

“The blonde amazon woman?”

“Yeah…. I took her home,” Lee said, her hands shaking.

“And… so?”

“She wasn’t as old as I thought…. I didn’t know how old…oh fuck.” Lee dropped her head in her hands. “Jules, we fucked all night, she was so insatiable, so fucking… fuckable. I’m getting hot right now thinking about it and it’s wrong…. sooo wrong.”

“Lee, how old?”

“Fifteen.”

Jules took a mouthful of her latte and spat it over the table. “She was FIFTEEN?” she yelled.

“Shhhh, keep it down,” Lee whispered, wiping up the spilled latte. “I know… “

“That’s jail-bait, hun…. if anyone finds out… you would be…”

“I know…. I’ve only told you because you have a long memory and you will remind me of how much of a tosser I was and how I’m the lowest sexual predator in the world of women lovers.”

“Lee that’s like you doing my niece.”

“Jules, your niece is fucking 9 years old, I don’t think so. I think she was satisfied, though.”

“Lee, you’re being a tosser again.”

“Yeah right.”

That evening

Lee had planned on having an early night, but a last minute account presentation due the next day cancelled that. As she created her report, windows on her laptop kept popping up inviting her to cyber. Lee ignored the request for once and continued her report. A window opened up in front with a video stream of someone inserting dildo inside themselves. The message said: “cum on and lick me Grl4Me invited”. Lee smiled and thought about have a quickie online

Lee cancelled the request and finished up her report, downing a glass of red. A knock came at her door and she looked at her watch: 10.50 PM. A female order, perhaps, she thought, laughing. The laughing stopped when she opened the door.

“I thought I told you to get lost,” Lee growled at Shay.

“Well, yeah, but I thought you might want some company.”

Lee shook her head. “If you were a 15 year old bottle of scotch, no problem, but you’re a kid, so get lost.”

“Are you always this mean?”

Lee thought about it. “Yeah….” She started to close the door, but Shay held it open.

“I’ve been wet all day thinking about you,” Shay whispered, “my pussy is so-” Lee noticed the old lady across the hall listening and grabbed Shay’s arm, dragging her inside.

“Shut up will ya? The fucking neighbors hear everything.”

“I’m not surprised. You scream like a banshee when you cum,” Shay giggled.

Lee tried to keep up her serious exterior but Shay’s cuteness was wearing her down. “Shay, you can’t come here any more… its over. You get the one night stand thing, right?”

“It shouldn’t matter. If we both want to do it, it shouldn’t be a problem,” Shay pleaded. “You have no idea what you unleashed in me last night, Lee, I can’t go back…I don’t want to go back.” She grabbed Lee for an impromptu kiss.

Lee started to cave, but finally pushed Shay away.

“Shay, it’s bad…. What we did is bad, okay?”

Shay was confused. “Why is having sex bad?”

“Okay, sex isn’t bad, it’s just wrong what we did… You should be playing around with people your own age.”

“You’re shitting me… people my age never would have done what you did to me last night, I didn’t even know…” Shay paused, catching her breath. “You wanted me Lee…look at you now. You are forcing yourself to back away, but all you can think is about getting into me again, seeing if three fingers will fit.”

Lee was losing the battle with Shay and herown urges. “I could get into really serious trouble for this.”

Shay removed her shirt, revealing her breasts, just out of Lee’s reach. “Well, I’m not one to talk in locker rooms, so…” She threw her shirt to Lee and headed into her bedroom, stripping off the rest of her clothes and slipping between the sheets.

Lee closed the lid to her laptop and followed, striping on the way. She joined Shay between sheets and kissed her. Shay trembled in anticipation and held onto Lee, scared she was going to change her mind

“I want to eat you again,” Shay admitted.

Lee kissed her. “I’m sure you do.”

Shay tried to pull Lee up, but Lee restrained her young lover. “What’s your hurry, got somewhere else to be?”

“Hmm, no…”

“Good, now roll over, I’m going to rim you.”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to make you bite my pillow, roll over and lift your ass up.”

Shay grabbed the mattress and buried her face into the pillow when Lee started licking her ass and hole, swiping down, then up.

“Oh my god….. Lee…. I can’t…”

Lee grabbed Shay’s hand and rubbed it over her clit. “You control the pace you want and I’ll just help you along.” She slapped Shay hard on the arse and worked at her opening.

Low moans and groans increased until Shay was panting and crying out with each stroke.

Shay continued to lie on her back, smirking. “Oh my god, my hole just got licked.”

Lee took another drink of her red. “I know…. Do you want to go home now, little girl? Are you tired?”

Her immediate response was pinning Lee to the bed hard, holding her wrists tightly.

“Easy there, amazon, I’m breakable……” she warned.

Shay pulled at her nipple ring, licking around the nipple. “Hmmmm no you’re not…. But you are unbelievably fuckable.”

Lee looked at her alarm clock: 6.30 AM. She hadn’t slept well. She sat up in bed, looking at Shay sleeping peacefully. She hissed to herself. “Lee…Lee…Lee…. You are such a fucking dumb ass.”

Lee opened the door. “Shay… I mean it. I don’t want you coming around here again.”

Shay eyes dimmed and she nodded. “I was alright… what I did with you?”

Lee laughed. “You rocked like a porn star hun, now go and unleash your new found sexual prowess onto other young girls.”

Shay hugged Lee and walked off. Lee shut the door and slid down, dialing a number on her phone.

“You stupid, fucking moron. I can’t believe you went after her again.” Jules ranted. Lee sat on the couch feeling ashamed.

“She came to me…. I told her to go, but she just wouldn’t and….”

“And what….. what excuse are you going to use to justify it this time? Don’t you feel any shame?”

“Yeah… kinda… you know my needs, Jules… better than anyone. I just couldn’t help it. She was standing in front of me totally naked. That’s like putting red flag to a bull, its going to charge.”

“Maybe you should go back and see that shrink about your over active libido.”

“It’s not over active, but I am seeing him about trying to control my urges, ok… I’ve not got a craving for 15 year olds… so stop looking at me that way …” Lee closed her eyes against tears of frustration.

“I know how to fix your urges,” Jules laughed, “baseball bat to your cunt should fix that.”

“Oh, ouch, that’s just nasty,” Lee whined.

Lee had not heard or seen Shay for 3 weeks.

Lee, Jules and few friends were at the club dressed up as their favorite village people character. Jules came as a biker and Lee rocked up in army greens and asked Jules what she thought.

“Aren’t you suppose to do up the jacket? You’re out of uniform, soldier,” she said, looking at her friend’s exposed black lacy bra.

“Noooo, then how are people going to see this?” Lee opened her jacket wider

After dancing and making out with people, Lee and Jules compared notes

I’ve been with 2 Indians, 1 biker and sailor girl, I’m looking for military next,” Jules grinned.

“Don’t you look in my direction, you know I don’t fuck my friends. Me, I just need the… hello Ms. construction worker.”

They looked towards the bar. The girl had her back to them and was fooling around with someone.

“She has her own utility belt, I plan to make good use of that.… that will make a clean sweep, hold my drink.” Lee walked over confidently, her mind made up, but as the girl turned around, Lee stopped. “You’ve got to be fucking kidding.”

Jules saw her friend’s reaction the reaction. “C’mon, Lee, lets go up top…. Leave the kiddies to themselves.”

Lee leaned back against her seat and groaned. Jules laughed. “Well, congratulations, that’s your 2nd stalker now.”

Jules saw Shay coming up the stairs after Lee, and waited to block her. “I’m sorry, but you have to be over 21 to come up here.”

“I want to talk to Lee.”

“No… there is no talking to Lee, she is out of bounds, so go play somewhere else, go shoo”

Shay got angry. “You’re just jealous because we fucked…..”

Jules laughed. “Honey, I’m not jealous, I got over that after the hundredth girl she fucked. Let me tell you about Lee, she doesn’t do relationships…. She has a huge appetite for sex that 3 women a night can’t cure. She knows she made a mistake with you, and she regrets it.”

Shay looked at Lee, who was touching another woman.

Jules saw what she was looking at. “See, you’re forgotten already. Look, you were one of the privileged few, sweetheart. You got two nights, and most don’t even get to stay over. It’s over, let it go so we can all get back to our lives.”

Shay ran off in tears.

Early next morning

Lee was woken by banging at her door. She groaned at time: 4 AM. She opened the door and saw Shay standing there. “No…. no way, go home.”

Shay burst into tears, sobbing loudly. “I can’t… he kicked me out….. I can’t”

Lee opened the door and Shay sat on the couch, sobbing. Lee looked down, not knowing what to do. She brought Shay a glass of water from the kitchen and set it on the small table in front of Shay.

“Shay….”

Shay continued to sob. “I’m sorry, I know you don’t want me here, but I didn’t know where else to go… please don’t kick me out.”

Lee ran hands over her face in frustration. “Just tell me what happened.”

Shay explained how her father had found her girl magazines and some drawings she had done of girls in sexual positions. “He called me a pervert and said I was no longer his daughter. He threw me out,” Shay cried again

Lee noticed the bruising on Shay’s arm, and pulled her forward into a hug “didn’t your mother say anything on this”

“she can’t stand up to him, I don’t have anywhere to go” Shay continued to cry

“Ok, ok, settle down. I’m not going to toss you out. Get into my bed”

Lee rinsed the glass out and looked over at her room. She was angry and knew exactly what Shay was going through. Her father had done the same thing to her, and she had never spoken to her family again.

Lee climbed in next to Shay. The young girl was shaking, so Lee wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close. “Shhhhh, it’s going to be all right, Shay”

That morning Lee looked up from reading the paper to see Shay heading for the door. “Where are you going?”

Shay shrugged. “I’ll find somewhere, I’ve been enough of a burden to you.”

“You couldn’t last 5 minutes out there, stay here.”

“You don’t-” Shay started.

“Shay, shut the fuck up, I’m going to see your parents after work and talk it out.”

“But my father… he…”

“He’s an asshole, that’s what he is. I’ll sort it out. Just stay put for today”

Lee’s sports car pulled up outside a little home. Like all the other houses on the street, it was run down and shabby looking. She knocked on the door.

A woman opened it and look over the well dressed person at her doorstep.

Lee took off her sunglasses. “Hi… I’ve come to talk to you about Shayne.”

The woman started to cry. “You’re the police, I knew something bad would happen… oh, my poor baby!”

“No, I’m not the police, and your daughter is fine,” Lee huffed, impatient, “she ended up on my door step, hysterical.”

“Oh, my poor baby, she’s going through a rough time. She’s going through this phase…”

“Mrs. Denkins, your daughter is not going through any phase, she’s a lesbian. That is not going to change… what she needs is her family, what she needs is support.”

Suddenly, a man came to stand in the doorway. “We don’t have a daughter.”

“John, please,” Shay’s Mum cried.”

“Be quiet, you old bag, she is never setting foot in this house again.”

“Has he always been a fucking bastard? How could anyone have wanted to conceive a child with this intolerant inbred!” Lee shouted.

The old guy stepped forward, his face inches from Lee’s. “You get yerself off my property before I kick you off.”

Lee didn’t back down and handed Shay’s mum a card. “It’s my address. She’s staying with me, so please go over and sort this out. She is not my problem.”

“And as for you,” Lee stepped closer and the man backed away, “you ever lay a hand on your daughter again, and I’ll report you.”

He looked surprised.

Lee put her glasses on and got back into her car.

That night, Lee worked on her laptop, occasionally lifting her eyes to see Shay just flicking channels

“Shay…”

Shay turned the TV off and went into the bedroom. Lee closed her laptop and climbed into bed with her. “Hey,” she said, rubbing Shay’s arm.

“She hasn’t called. Why? I didn’t do anything wrong… I can’t help being the way I am.”

Lee just held her until she fell asleep.

Next day

Shay was making herself useful while Lee was at work. She had cleaned the apartment and done the laundry. She heard a knock on the door and went to answer it.

“Mum…” They hugged. She noticed her mum was carrying a bag.

Lee waited outside for a lift when the doors opened and she nearly collided with a woman.

“Mrs. Denkins, its good you’re here. Isn’t Shay up there?”

“Yes, she is, Lee.”

“And so why are you two not leaving together?”

Tears started to well in Shay’s mother’s eyes. “He won’t let her back in the house, and I don’t want to see her on the streets. You seem like a nice, decent person, Lee, if you could just let her stay…”

“What… no way! You can’t just dump your problems on my door step, no fucking way. What am I suppose to do with a teenager?” Lee ranted.

“Please, you can help her through… what ever she’s going through.”

Lee threw her head back in disbelief. “But I’m not her mother”

The woman touched Lee’s arm. “Just be firm… set some ground rules. Make sure she does her homework and doesn’t stay up late. I really appreciate you being understanding about this.”

Shay’s mum left and Lee got into the lift, she screaming to nobody. “I don’t want to be understanding…. I want my fucking life back.”

Lee opened the door to see Shay leaning against the wall on the other side. Lee stepped forward and kicked a bag.

“Lee, I’m so…”

“Shut up, Shay… just shut up.” Lee stripped and climbed into her shower, leaning against the door. She saw Shay looking at her and turned around to face the shower head. She liked the openness of her apartment, but now all she wanted was a room with no views to hide in.

Lee and Shay were eating dinner together.

“So… I was wondering how I get to school tomorrow…. You can drop me off or something, could I also get a lift to soccer practice?”

Lee picked up her dishes and dumped them in the sink. “I don’t fucking know… I don’t know Shay, I have no fucking idea, and I’m not your fucking soccer mum either. I’m never going to get laid again.”

“Lee I’m sorry… please”:

“I can just see it now … bringing home women and having to make up some explanation about you.”

“I’m a burden, I’m sorry.”

“Stop saying you’re fucking sorry… it’s your god damn inbred parents’ fault.” Lee groaned. “But I bet you love this. Living my lifestyle”

Shay’s tears fell freely with each passing insult. “You don’t have to, I don’t want to stay here with a self centered, egotistic bitch”

“Fine, you know where the door is, Shayne,” yelled Lee.

“I hate you…. I wish I never met you,” screamed Shay.

“Now you’re getting it,” Lee yelled back.

Shay ran out of the apartment and Lee retired to the couch and turned the TV on. She tapped her foot impatiently “Oh, for fuck’s sake…..“

Lee grabbed her coat and head outside, looks up and down the street wondering where she was going to start looking. She then heard sobs from down in the underground parking. Lee heads down and finds Shay against wall distraught

Lee closed her eyes and took numerous deep breaths. “Shay…”

“Leave me the fuck alone.”

“Shay… I apologize, I was out of line. This situation isn‘t your fault.”

Shay got up. “No…. it’s yours…. If you hadn’t taken me home, if you hadn’t come into my life…”

Lee dropped her head. “I agree that I don’t always think about the consequences of my actions, but none-the-less, you, little miss trouble, are my burden to carry and I will accept that until your parents come around.”

Lee arrived home to smell something cooking. She headed into her kitchen and saw Shay by the oven. Lee leaned over and stuck her finger in the sauce. “Hmmm, nice, but needs more salt” She reached for it, but Shay pushed her away “I’ve got it… go shower”

Lee did as she was told and smiled when she saw Shay add more salt to her sauce.

They sat down to eat. “So, how was your day, honey?” Shay joked.

Lee smiled, but didn’t respond to her playfulness “done your homework kid?”

“na…. I’ll do it tomorrow.”

That evening, Lee was working on her laptop when Shay walked past smelling of her cologne. “I’ll see you later,” she called out as she opened the door.

Lee jumped up. “Hang on a minute… where do you think you’re going? It’s fucking 10 PM.”

“I’m heading to the club, the wet t-shirt competition is tonight.”

Lee glared at her. “That’s my shirt, and it’s a school night!”

Shay laughed. “Don’t wait up for me.” She was just about to shut the door when Lee yanked her back in. “Sit down, now!”

“What… why?”

“SIT!” Lee ordered.

Shay flopped onto the couch, pulling her shoes up on the cushions. Lee grew angrier. “Get your shoes off my couch. That cost me 8000.00.”

“Why are you over reacting? You hardly wear this shirt, and it shows my best assets,” Shay said, lifting up her arms.

Lee stopped pacing in front of the couch. “There are going to be some ground rules around here, and one is respect. Respect for my place and my clothes. You have a bag full of your own, leave mine alone.”

“Lee, come on…”

“SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH” Lee yelled.

Shay stopped.

“You will come home after school and do your homework, there will be no going out on a school night, and you will not wear my clothes, use my cologne, or access my cyber sites. And from now on, you will not be going to the club.”

Shay jumped up. “You can’t tell me what to do, you’re not my fucking mother.”

Lee wanted to bitch slap the little sod, but managed to stay calm. “No, I’m not, Shay… I’m not pretending to be, but while you are under my roof, you will follow my rules. If you don’t like it, then I will call you a taxi, and you can go home to your inbred parents.”

Shay snarled at her. “Fine, I never liked this shirt anyway.” She took it off and threw it onto the couch, storming into the kitchen.

Lee rolled her eyes at the shirt. “Don’t leave your shit everywhere. I’m not your fucking house keeper, either.” Shay came back and snatched the shirt.

“Whatever.”

After a couple of days things had returned to normal between the pair. Lee was in on a meeting when her mobile rang. She answered it quietly while her boss was giving his report.

“Why you ringing me, call her mother”

“I’m not her….. “ she looked up and noticed everyone looking

“sorry I have to take this, a ……. family matter”

Lee strides down the corridor of the school until she reaches the principals office and knocked

Once Lee was inside she saw Shay sitting opposite the principal

“Ms Evan’s”

Lee turned Shay’s head to see bruise forming around her eye

“what happened to you” asked Lee irritated

Shay swallowed “an altercation” dropped her head

“Ms Evans… You are here because Shayne has been fighting other students”

Lee looks at Shay “is that true, you started a fight”

“no… they were saying horrible things to me”

“Ms Evans” principal called but Lee waved her hand up to stop him

“what did they say Shay, what happened”

“they were calling me names because they know I’m gay and telling all the girls to stay away or else I’d want to fuck them and turn them gay” Shay eyes watered “I wanted to get away and pushed one out the way but it just got out of hand”

Lee looked at the principal “Is this true”

He nodded “yes there have been insults made, but it doesn’t justified fighting”

“really, well what are you going to do about the girls picking on Shay”

“their parents will be contacted”

“and then… how will you stop it again”

“we will monitor the situation”

“really, you mean sitting on your fat ass and wait until someone really gets hurt.”

“I don’t appreciate you speaking to me in that manner”

“and I don’t appreciate you telling me you will only monitor the situation, not acceptable”

“go to the car now Shay”

“Shay has an hour detention after school”

Lee finally took off her sunglasses and leaned over the desk “so I guess these juvenile bullies will also be doing time along with Shay. I mean you are punishing all.”

He shook his head “No”

“unacceptable” yelled Lee causing both Shay and principal to jump

“Shay is the victim of intolerance and bullying, all the factors that can severely affect a young woman psychologically who is coming to terms with her sexuality. If you are not going to punish those responsible for this then I will make sure the school board is well aware of your prejudices towards Shay and they will know of my intentions to sue them and your school for negligence.

“I don’t think we need to go that far Ms Evans”

“I’m just fucking started, then I will go to the media.”

“fine…. Shay’s detention is revoked”

“good day Ms Evans”

“One more thing” Lee not finished with the principal “If I see Shay come home with as much as a chinese burn on her, you will be hearing from my solicitors have I made myself clear”

Shay sat in Lee’s shaking her head in disbelief of Lee’s handling the situation “did you mean all that stuff… solicitors, suing”

Lee breathed and looked over. “I hate bullies, whether they are corporate or educational, so yeah, I meant it. I also don’t want to be called down to your school again, so find another way of settling your disputes. What caused you to get a shiner?”

Shay smiled. “I shut up the girl that was giving me the most grief by kissing her.”

Lee looked over at her. “Really….? Good for you… don’t fucking do it again.”

That night, as Lee started to drift off to sleep, Shay slipped her arms around Lee and pulled in close. Lee rolled over to look at Shay.

“What do you think you are doing?” she growled.

“I want to thank you for looking out for me…” she reached under Lee’s shirt to fondle a breast, but was stopped.

“One more rule, no touching or spooning in my bed. If you don’t like that, there is always the couch.” The conversation ended, and Lee rolled over.

Shay was wiping the last of the dishes when Lee came from her bed room. Shay whistled. “Someone means business tonight,” she said, admiring her.

Lee smiled while she grabbed her keys and phone. “It’s only a business deal.”

“Sure... so, does this mean I sleep on the couch?”

“Huh…. Why?”

“Well, if you want to bring her home, I will sleep on the couch.” She shrugged

Lee smiled and walked over. “Nobody’s coming home with me, but don’t bother waiting up, either.”

The woman screamed louder and louder until she climaxed. Lee surfaced from below and moved up. The woman grabbed Lee and kissed her hard. “Fuck, I love our negotiations, Lee.”

Lee smiled. “Well, are you satisfied, Jessica?” she asked, licking at her nipple.

Jess smiled. “I’m always satisfied when you are dealing with my account. I am happy to continue to keep my business with you and, well, let your boss know how pleased I am.”

Lee nodded and looked at her watch. “I need to get going.”

“What? You usually stay over till morning, when you take me out for breakfast…”

Lee half laughed. “I’d love to, but I can’t, Jessica.”

Lee got home and noticed a lump on her couch. She touched Shay head and squatted next to her. “Hey, what are you doing out here?”

“I thought you might have bought someone home, I didn’t want to be in the way.”

“Come on, get to bed.” She pulled Shay up, and they went to the bedroom.

“So, you had a successful night with the client?” Shay grinned.

“Yeah, I nailed the contract.”

“I bet that’s not all you nailed,” laughed Shay.

“Hey… stop that… well, she was a very big client, I wanted to make sure we secured her…”

“So, where did you secure her…… on the table, the couch, or the bed?”

“Hey, cheeky,” Lee said, wrestling with Shay, “well, what do you think pays for all this? Plus, I get it were I can these days.”

Shay’s eyes grew sad. “But it’s here if you want it, I don’t mind.”

Lee let her go and breathed deeply. “Shay…. get some sleep.”

A month had gone by

Lee, Jules, and a few other friends were sitting around the table drinking. The club was jumping from the music, and all the women made Lee feel like she was in a candy shop. Shay bounded up and reached for her cola.

“C’mon, you said you would dance with me, Lee,” Shay whined.

“I will…. Just not yet.”

“It’s my birthday… least you could do is buy me alcohol.” She reached to take Lee’s glass, but Lee snatched it back. “No… no… and fuck no. Go back and dance, I’ll be there shortly.”

Once Shay left, Jules groaned. “Why did you have to drag her along to the club? I thought it was just going to be us.”

“It’s her 16th, and I was not going to have a bunch of teenage girls destroying my apartment. If she is here, I can keep and eye on her, I don’t have to clean up, and I’ve introduced her to everyone as my 16 year old niece, so nobody is going to touch her.”

Lee felt arms drape over her and lips kissing her. Lee got up and gave the woman a hug. “Well, hello, stranger, when did you get in?” They soon disappeared.

Shay came back, hot from dancing, and finished her drink. “Where’s Lee? I need some money for a drink.”

Jules offered her money, but Shay ignored her. “Where is Lee?”

“Busy,” answered one of Lee’s friends.

Shay wandered off until she came across the back room. Women were entertaining each other sexually, and Shay was in awe. She stopped all of a sudden.

Lee was sitting on a seat with her friend straddling her. The woman had her hand under Lee’s shirt, fondling her breast while the kissed passionately. Lee started to work on her neck when she saw Shay looking at her.

Shay turned and left.

“Oh shit.” Lee got up, straightening herself, and went after Shay. She lost sight of her, and caught up with her friends.

“Where did she go?” Lee gasped, doing up her buttons.

“I think she left.”

“Fuck, I’m an idiot…. Why can’t I just say no for once?”

Jules laughed. “’Cause you’re Lee Evans, you never say no. You need to do something about this girl. Shay has it bad for you, and it’s not healthy for you to string her along.”

“Hey, I’m not her girl friend, so it’s not like I’m cheating on her,” growled Lee.

“She sleeps in your bed, tends to your apartment, and you go out and watch her play soccer. If that’s not what a girl friend does, then I’m confused.”

Lee looked at Jules. “Fuck… fuck… God, I’m a fucking asshole. Why didn’t you bring this to my attention?”

“What, that you are a fucker? I think you enjoy doing this to her. I think it must give you the biggest ego boost, stringing her along. Knowing she wants you, knowing you can take her anytime, and yet rejecting her. Lee, you’re screwing her up.”

Lee looked at Jules.

“Hey, you’re the one that told me to tell you when you are being a tosser… well, I’m telling you.”

Lee hit the night air and walked down the road. She found Shay leaning against a fence, head down. Lee bit her lip and walked towards her.

“Shay, I’m so sorry, you never should have seen that.”

“It doesn’t matter… it’s what you do, Lee. I don’t care.”

Lee put her arm around Shay. “Shay, I’m the worst role model for a young woman, so everything you have learned and seen from me… make sure you don’t copy.”

Shay laughed. “Well, there is only room in this club for one slut, it might as well be you.”

Lee laughed. “I guess so. I haven’t got your present yet, any ideas?”

Shay dropped her head.“Well, yeah, but…”

“What? New soccer gear, clothes…”

“A kiss,” said Shay in a small voice

Lee shifted uncomfortably. “Shay…. I don’t think…”

“It’s only a kiss,” Shay whispered, looking up at Lee pleadingly.

Lee caught her breath and stood in front of Shay. “Fine, one kiss.” She hovered over Shay, holding her head. She let her lips fall softly onto Shay’s, but the young girl kissed her deeply. Lee started to pull away, but Shay held her close and returned the kiss with more force, searching out Lee’s tongue. Before long, their mouths were devouring each other, and Shay had Lee against the fence, her mouth working at Lee’s neck.

“Shay, we have to stop,” Lee said, pushing at her unsuccessfully. She gasped as Shay put her hand under her shirt and fondled her breast, drawing it out to the night air. Lee arched her back as Shay devoured it, playing with her nipple ring. Her hand massaged between Lees’s legs, feeling the heat.

They moved inside the apartment, kicking off shoes and pulling each others clothes off before collapsing onto the bed, still locking lips. Shay fought to flip Lee, but she was never one to be dominated in her own bed. Lee got up, and Shay protested. Lee put a finger to her lips. “Shhhh.”

She changed positions so that her pussy was in Shay’s face, and Shay’s was in hers. She opened Shay’s lips and scooped her up. Shay groaned, then let her tongue travel around Lee’s pussy, licking at her spot, her opening. She parted her wider and started to rim. Lee grabbed Shay and pushed back, her body not under her control, but in Shay’s, and she didn’t like it, but wanted it. She pushed two fingers inside Shay while licking and sucking her clit. Both started shaking, and both climaxed at the same time.

Lee looked up at the ceiling, her breath coming in short pants. Shay had put her head on Lee’s shoulder and kissed her cheek. “That was a great present, thank you, Lee.”

Shay wrapped a lazy arm over Lee’s body and fell asleep. Lee shut her eyes, but could not sleep.

“When is this going to end, Lee? You can’t keep her as your sex slave forever.”

“She’s not my slave, it was a lack of control, it was my fault. She’s just so…. over-sexed.”

“Well, what do you expect, she’s a teenager. Of course she is…. Most teenagers are horn-bags, remember? Oh, wait, you are still going through your teenage years. They’re probably last until you’re 80.”

“Funny….” Lee groaned.

“It’s not….. It’s appalling, and you need to get rid of her, get her out of your apartment and life.”

“I can’t kick her out….. I promised her mum I’d look after her.”

“So, she doesn’t know you’re screwing her daughter,” growled Jules.

“I’m not screwing her, I wish you wouldn’t say that about Shay.”

Jules was taken back by her reaction. “Lee……. You don’t have feelings for her, do you?”

“Huh?”

“Tell me you’re not in love with this child.”

Lee paused. “No…. of course not.”

“It won’t be long before someone finds out, and then you’re life will be over. You need to end this and get her out, before this fucks up both of your lives.”

Jules got up and kissed Lee’s head. “Sort it out, honey, do it today.”

Lee remained seated, flipping her mobile lid open and closed as she thought things over. She stopped and made a call.

“Hi, Bev, I’m taking the rest of the day off. Please cancel my appointments and reschedule for tomorrow.”

Shay came home from school to see her mum in Lee’s apartment. Shay noticed her bags were packed.

“What’s going on?”

“Shayne, honey, I have left your father, and we will be moving to small place close to your school…”

Shay looked at Lee. “But…”

“Shayne…. I’ve taken control of my life, and now we need to let Lee get on with hers.”

“Mum, I’m gay, so there is no going back from that,” Shay said, placing her hands defiantly on her hips.

“I know, honey, I’m well aware of that.”

“I don’t think you are, I don’t think you can cope,” Shay insisted.

“Don’t be snarly to your mother. She’s made a big change in her life, and now she needs your support,” Lee chastized.

“My support? Where was she when I needed fucking support, huh?” She turned to her mother. “Where were you? Nowhere. But Lee was, she always supported me.” Shay ran off and crashed on Lee’s bed.

“I knew this would be hard, I just…” said Shay’s mum.

“Look, you go downstairs, I’ll talk to her.”

Shay wrapped her arms around her pillow tightly. “I won’t go, you can’t make me.”

Lee sat down next to her and stroked her back. “I’m not going to make you do anything. I just wanted you to know that what you mum did was very courageous. She loves you so much that she walked out on your father. That is big for her, and deep down, you know that.”

Shay listened.

“She needs you, Shay, she needs your support, and your strength, just like you needed mine. You both need to make a clean start, so go and be a family.”

Lee caught her breath to stop herself from stammering. Shay rolled over. “So, what you are really saying is you want me out.”

“Well…. yeah, its time for you to move on. It was never going to be forever.”

Shay sat up and collapsed against Lee, who held her tightly as the young girl sobbed. Lee’s eyes were stinging as she pulled Shay to her feet.

“Go on, your mum’s waiting downstairs. She needs you, Shay.”

“What about you, what do you need?” Shay asked.

“Well, what do you think?” Lee winked.

“The bed isn’t even cold, and you are ready to put someone in there,” laughed Shay.

Lee looked down. “No, I’m happy to let it stay cold for a while.”

Shay hugged Lee again. “We will still see each other, right? You will come to my soccer games?”

“Absolutely, final this Saturday. See you then.”

Shay left the apartment, and Lee looked around. For the first time, she noticed how empty it was, and how empty she felt. She sat down on the couch, dropped her head, and cried. She hadn’t felt this sick since her father threw her out.

Lee didn’t go to any of Shay’s soccer games.

Shay blew the candles out on her 21st Birthday cake, and everyone cheered.

“I’d like to thank my mum. I love you for everything you’ve done, including letting me have this party. My girl friend, Jo… thanks for putting up with me.” Shay paused, and her eyes widened. “Umm, and thank you all for bringing me presents, so, let’s party.” They all cheered

Shay walked to the back of the room in her mum’s flat. “Wow… look who it is.”

Lee smiled. “Happy birthday, Shay,” she said, and handed over a parcel.

Shay’s eyes moistened. “You didn’t come to my soccer final.”

“Yes, I know.”

“I was so angry.”

“I don’t doubt that, you always had a fiery streak in you.”

“So, why now? Just to give me a present?” she growled.

Lee smiled. “Don’t get snarly with me, Shay, just say thank you”

Shay smiled. “Thank you. So, you’ll stay for a drink, at least?”

Jo’s hands went around Shay’s waist, and a kiss was panted on her cheek.

“Honey… aren’t you going to introduce me?”

“Jo… this is a very old friend…. Lee.”

“Ouch, enough of the old. Hi, Jo.”

“Lee and I go way back, she was helping me out with a few personal issues.”

“Ok, but don’t forget that there are other people here as well.” She half-smiled at Lee then left them both

Lee laughed. “She doesn’t like me.”

“She gets a little insecure when she meets some of my friends.”

“Oh…. Well, she doesn’t have to worry about me. I’m no threat.”

“Lee Evans is always a threat.”

Lee laughed when Shay’s mum came over. “I’m going to talk to Lee for a bit, you go be with your friends, honey.”

Lee went into the kitchen and had a coffee with Shay’s mum.

“I didn’t think you were going to come.”

“I wasn’t, but I wanted to make sure I didn’t screw her up completely.”

“She’s turned out just fine. Now that you are here, I have all your money.”

“No… I told you, it was to help get you on your feet. The flat is yours, and I don’t want anything in return.”

“You’re a good person, Lee.”

Lee laughed. “No, I’m not, I’m actually a selfish bitch.”

“You keep telling yourself that, honey, but I know different.” The woman patted Lee’s hand affectionately.

Lee was headed towards the door when Shay caught up with her. “Leaving already? Typical. So, what’s with the limp? Did you hurt yourself dancing?”

Lee smiled. “Well, I’m a bit too old for this party. Happy birthday, Shay, enjoy the rest of your night.”

“Going home to bed already?” pushed Shay.

Lee nodded. “Exactly.”

“Why are you so lame? You would have jumped at the chance to give me a mouthful, put me back in my place, and now…”

“People change, grow up.”

“Bullshit, come on, there are some gorgeous women here, and you haven’t even tried. Fallen off the horse, have we? I can give you some pointers.”

Lee grinned. “I don’t need pointers from 21 year olds, they take pointers from me.”

Shay laughed. “See, there you go, stay and have a drink with one of your old…”

“No, Shayne. Goodbye.”

Lee tapped on her laptop and sent off the last email. Just as she got up, there was a knock at her door.

Lee opened the door. “No.” She tried to close the door again, but it was pushed open, and Shay came in.

Lee took a deep breath. “Shay… you shouldn’t be here.”

“You left your jacket behind.”

“Ok, thanks, see ya.”

“You can’t just blow me off, you don’t just walk back in my life after 6 years and then walk out again.”

Lee groaned. “I knew I shouldn’t have gone. Please, don’t go turning it into a big deal, Shay.”

“A big deal is you setting up my mum in a flat and money just to get me out of your life. Yeah, I know all about it,” she sneered

“Don’t be so dramatic, I did what I thought was best for you.”

“Bullshit, Lee only does what’s best for Lee, end story.”

“Well, you must know everything now you’re 21. A woman of the world these days, aren’t we, Shay?”

“Don’t you dare patronize me, I’m not a child anymore. So, come on. Tell me, I want to hear it from your mouth.”

Lee knew she was backed into a corner “Fine, if that’s what you want to hear, yeah, I did it to get you out of my fucking life, you were cramping my style. Ok, happy now? Why don’t you fuck off back to your friends.”

Shay’s eyes watered. “You had no idea did you, no fucking idea how I…”

“Yes, I know you loved me, Shay. That night in the club, the look on your face when you saw me.”

Shay shook her head.

“Shay, you were 15 years old, your hormones were all over the place. I was there. It was only natural that I was one you latched onto.”

“No… no…It wasn’t like that. You are so full of it, Lee. Did you ever stop to think for a moment that you may have felt something for me, too?”

Lee didn’t respond.

Shay moved closer. “You did stop and think.”

Lee dropped her eyes in submission at Shay’s question.

Shay moved closer. “And yet you let me go.”

“You were 15, what was I going to do with a 15 year old,” whimpered Lee.

Shay lowered her voice. “Admitted that you loved me.”

Lee half-laughed. “That was never going to happen. Now, I think you should go back to your party.”

Shay moved closer, standing a little taller than Lee. “You don’t mean that.”

Shay touched the side of Lee’s face and noticed a little scar under her chin. Lee pulled back, but Shay touched her chest.

“Your heart is racing, it likes it when I’m near.”

“Shay, its time you went home,” Lee pleaded.

Shay captured Lee’s lips and kissed her. “Your lips say they want me.”

Lee looked at her former lover, trying to hold back a grin. “You can tell all that, so tell me what I am thinking.”

Shay smirked. “Oh, that’s easy, you are thinking that now I’m all grown up, and wondering whether 4 fingers will fit.”

Lee was naked on her back, hips rising as Shay straddled her so their pussies where joined, their juices mixing. Shay gyrated, pushing their clits together. Lee grabbed Shay’s hips and pushed up harder as her orgasm was surfacing.

Shay cruelly stopped and pinned Lee down, her finger slightly trapping Lee’s clit.

“For fuck’s sake, Shay,” Lee yelled in frustration.

“Tell me….” She rubbed Lee once, but paused.

Lee looked hard. “You’re going to make me say it.”

“Yes, I want to hear it.”

Lee groaned and half sat. “Shay, it’s not going to change anything.”

Shay’s face darkened. “Fine, then I’ll let you have your orgasm and we can go back to just fucking.”

Lee closed her eyes and pulled Shay aside. “You don’t need to hold my orgasm as ransom. Yes, I love you. The day you left my apartment broke my fucking heart, but it was the right thing to do. I was not ready for a relationship, whether it was with you or anyone.”

“But you love me, you really mean it, right?” Shay pushed.

“I said it, didn’t I? You know I don’t say things unless I mean them.” Tears started falling from Lee once she had finally admitted her feelings, not just to Shay, but to herself.

Shay wiped the tears from Lee’s cheeks and kissed her tenderly, reassuring her. They continued to make love until the early hours of the morning.

Lee woke her younger lover. “Your phone keeps buzzing.”

Shay rolled over and kissed Lee. “I know. I was avoiding it. She’s probably really pissed at me”

“Hmmm, great, I still managed to screw you up, even after a 6 year absence.”

Shay cancelled the call. “Look, I love you, and I want to be with you. Why can’t you accept that?”

“I can, and if you were single, things would be different. Fuck, I’d have you moved in tomorrow, but…”

Shay picked up her phone. “Dumping her is just a phone call away.”

Lee angrily grabbed the phone and pinned Shay’s hand. “You can’t go and treat women like that, Shay. Jo deserves better, she deserves respect and the truth.”

“Wow, you have changed. What happened? Did you finally meet someone that fucked you over?”

“Yeah… I did.”

“Really, tell me I’m intrigued and I’d love to meet her.”

Lee grimaced. “Well, you can’t, and I mean it, because she’s a nasty, screwed up piece of work. It’s my fault, of course.”

“Lee, you are being rough on yourself.”

“Cody was just another girl I went out with a few times, but she wouldn’t leave me alone, no matter how much I pushed her away. I told her that I didn’t love her, that it was inconceivable that I would ever love someone like her.”

“Ouch! Jeez, Lee, you sure know how to let a girl down gently, that must have made her cry.”

“Yeah, she cried at first, Shay. Then, she took to my car with a baseball bat.”

Shay laughed. “Good for her.”

“Then, she took to me with it, and put me in hospital for 3 months. I have plates and screws in my arm and leg, and metal plate in the side of my head. She almost killed me. If Jules hadn’t come in at that moment…”

Shay looked at Lee in disbelief. “I didn’t know.”

“Well, now you do, so now you are in bed with a slightly crippled, contemptuous old woman.”

Shay laughed. “I was always in bed with a contemptuous old woman.”

After that, Shay moved permanently into Lee’s apartment and life. She put her stuff away while Lee sat on the couch watching TV.

Shay turned the TV off and sat on the little table in front of Lee, stealing a kiss. “I’m all moved in.”

“Yeah, I know, bummer,” Lee laughed.

“Well, now that I am living here, there are going to be some ground rules,” Shay said seriously.

Lee sat back. “Oh, this should be good,” she teased.

“While I’m living under this roof, you will give me your undivided attention.”

“Okay.”

“You don’t go to the club, ever... unless I am with you.”

Lee raised an eyebrow. “Hmm, fine.”

“And you’ll be 100 monogamous with me.”

“Ouch, what does that mean again?” Lee enquired playfully.

Shay pinched at Lee’s nipple ring. “You know damn well. You told me this morning in the shower that if I even look at another woman, it would be more than a baseball bat you’d chase me with. Well, that goes for you, too.”

Lee leaned forward, and they shared a kiss.

“I can live with those rules.”
