The Love Letter Lovelies

Part III
21.
Maria Fukui rolled over in her bad, pressing a pillow to her ear. The constant loud sounds of moans and screams from her sister's room was driving her insane. Her sister, Anne, lived in a tiny apartment near the local shabby university. Since it was in the small town of Yumuto, it wasn't very prestigious, so most of the locals either went there or moved out of town. Anne was the former. Once she had gotten her own place, she invited Maria to move in with her. The excuse given was because Maria's High School was closer than their home. The actual reason was that both of them shared a secret from their parents: both of them were lesbians.
Maria often had to deal with Anne's loud sexual romps. Since entering university, she bought home all sorts of girls for one night stands. What made matters worse was the apartment's walls weren't so thick inside. Though they couldn't hear their neighbors, Maria could hear the slightest of conversations in her sisters room. Even if Anne tried to keep her sexual battles down to a low roar, Maria could hear every detail.
Her latest girlfriend, Rina Koboyashi, liked being loud. Maria didn't have the heart to tell her sister, but Rina often hit on her when Anne wasn't looking. So Maria was sure that being loud was Rina's way of trying to turn her on. The sad thing was it worked. It was all Maria could do not to touch herself. Often times of late, she gave in.
"Keep it down, Rina-chan… my sist-" Anne's concerns melted away with another round of moaning.
"I bet she's enjoying the show." Rina spoke seductively.
"Don't…be… gross…." Maria gasped in between moans.
Groaning in her pillow from frustration, Maria sat up, picked up her mobile phone, then stomped out her room. Her body was hungry, and she hated it. She crossed the living room in no time flat and was out the front door, standing on the balcony in her pajamas. The cool nights air tickled her already sensitive body and Maria breathed in a huge breath of air.
"Keep it together, Maria… keep it together." Maria told herself as she looked down at her contacts list and found Yui's number. She dialed it. "Please be awake…"
"H-Hello?" Yui's voice sounded almost dead.
Maria couldn't blame her. It was late on a Sunday and they had spent the entire weekend moving Shiho's belongings from her house to Kaede's. Yui had taken the brunt of it with Kaede as they worked out a deal with the arguing parents. It was up to Makoto and herself to do most of the packing. Once the moving started, the parents did nothing to help and it seemed Yui did most of the heavily lifting because of her size. She was exhausted when they last saw each other, breathing with difficulty.
"Yo." Maria greeted her best friend.
"Horny again?" Yui sounded almost whiney. "Maria-"
"I know I'm a burden on you. Once I get a girlfriend I'll bug her, I promise."
"I don't mind." Yui yawned. "I can only imagine what it's like."
"Rina-chan is crazy." Maria spouted out. "She doesn't even care if my sister sees her hitting on me anymore. It's like she wants to have a threesome."
"She probably does." Yui sounded as if she was moments away from sleeping. She normally wasn't this insightful.
"You don't think that's true do you?"
"I don't know."
Maria wondered more to herself. "It would be weird to do it with my sister watching."
"Didn't you say before that you two used to kiss each other a lot?" Yui always loved to remind her of that.
"We were kids… confused about our sexuality… things happened. We don't talk about it." Maria blushed. "And I shouldn't have told you about."
"It's kinda cute picturing you together." Yui giggled. "Maybe Rina-chan thinks the same?"
"Maybe, but it's gross." Maria blushed. She may have said it, but she didn't believe it. Anne was the biological daughter of another man and was an infant by the time her japanese father married her canadian mother. Even though they were step-sisters the two had become inseparable during childhood. Embarrassingly enough Anne was the first girl Maria liked, as strange as that was. They made-out with each other all throughout early middle school. But both of them moved on, knowing they could never go as far as their lusts may have wanted them to go.
"I'm always here for you, Maria." Yui mumbled in a slow drawl.
"I know you are."
"Did you want to try phone sex again?"
Maria blushed. Lately this had become a habit. She had tried it before with Makoto to outstanding success. Since then she had forced Yui into trying it a few times. She never could tell if Yui was just playing along to help her out or if she actual got something out of it, but Maria had been getting off to it lately.
"I shouldn't ask you to do dirty things." Maria finally decided. "It's not very nice of me."
"I don't mind. You're my best friend. I'll do anything for you." Yui yawned again.
Laughing a bit Maria shook her head. "Go to sleep, stupid. You're barely awake as it is. I'll… I'll work something out on my own."
"Okay." Yui said in a drone voice. "I love you."
"Love you too. Goodnight."
Yui hung up and Maria stared at her phone. She had known Yui since grade school. Everyone picked on her because she looked like a boy and was tall even back then. She was drawn to her because the children also used to picked on Maria because she was haafu, or biracial. Since then Maria had grown into a beauty, so most people didn't tease her anymore. But Yui always was taller than the other girls, and never filled out so she looked gangly. All this could be ignored if Yui was been good at sports, was charming, or even smart; but the girl was none of these. Sadly if Maria was going to be cruelly honest, Yui could come off as dull, clumsy, and slow. Then as the two of them entered middle school it seemed they both became interested in girls at the same time. And it was because of this weird relationship of being different that kept them together as friends. Still, Maria felt sorry for her.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, Maria thought it might be safe to venture back inside. But even from the living room she could hear her sister's moans. Stepping back outside, Maria slammed the door in frustration.
"Goddamn it!"
She was tired, she was pissed off, and worst of all she still was slightly aroused. Maria was tempted to call Yui again, but even as she was about to dial the number she thought of how tired the tall girl was. Maria couldn't do it. Her mind was swimming with lust, all she could think of was Rina and her sister, how they were getting off at messing with her. Why were they such a freaks? What did it say about her that was she turned on by that sort of thing?
"Fuck!" Maria screamed out on the balcony, her body on fire.
It took three hours for the couple to finish up. By the time Maria got a chance to go to sleep, she only managed a couple of hours because she had to get ready for school. And even then she was awaked by more sounds from her sister's room. Maria wondered if she was going crazy, she didn't know whether she wanted to laugh or cry. Having no choice but to awaken early, Maria got dressed, made her lunch, and left for school.
When she arrived she saw a grounds keeper opening the school gate. That's how early she was. Yawning she walked passed him and made her way to Class 1-3. Of course she was the only one there. Slumping in her desk, she rested her head on her arms and immediately passed out. But she didn't sleep long. One of her problems was being a light sleeper and as soon as a loud enough conversation happened in the room, she was awake again.
Unfortunately it was still too early for any of the Love Letter Lovelies to be there, so she still had no one to talk too. So instead her drowsy eyes focused on the other two girls who were in the class. They were talking about shopping, or something Maria wasn't really following, but one kept looking in her direction. On looking at her Maria remembered Shiho telling the story about the rude guy who outed out several other lesbians in the class other than the Lovelies. The girl who kept shooting her glances was one of them, Hikaru Yukimaru.
Her mind shot back to her Rina's moaning, and how frustrated she was the whole night. Then she thought of Makoto and Kaede, how they were a happy couple, then how even cranky Shiho found a girl. Slamming her hands on the desk, Maria thought it was time she'd get her feet wet as well. She couldn't take it anymore. She was already outed as a lesbian, so who cared? Standing up, she walked over to the Hikaru and the other girl. They both stopped talking and looked completely startled by Maria's sudden interest in them.
"Hey. Let's go out." Maria looked at Hikaru.
The other girl, Mio Harima, gasped. She was another one of those lesbians, but Hikaru was prettier. Maria wouldn't say that either of them were as pretty as Makoto or Shiho but they weren't ugly. Hikaru looked completely shocked, so much so her mouth dropped open. Maria, on seeing the looks on their faces wondered if she was too blunt. She should have eased into the topic. But her sleepy mind was too dead to think of anything more subtile than 'let's go out.'
"Fukui-san, are you asking me or Mio-chan?" Hikaru asked.
"Whichever says yes." Maria found herself saying before she could stop herself. They looked even more confused at this. Maria felt bad. "Sorry. I'm really sleepy and… sorry, just forget it."
"Wait!" Mio stopped her. "Are you serious? Do you really want to go out with us?"
"Yeah."
Mio and Hikaru looked at each other. Somehow Maria had caused a big debate among friends. Who would win?
"You always said you thought she was pretty." Hikaru reminded Mio.
"But you've had a crush on her since middle school."
"Yeah, but it was just a school girl crush… I mean I've never thought about going on an actual date."
"Me either… but…" Mio looked worried.
Maria waved them off. "Look it's not a big deal. If you're not ready for that sort of thing then it's okay." She turned to leave. Thankfully Shiho was walking into the class, and she could forget about this whole embarrassing exchange.
Hikaru grabbed her arm before she walked off. "Wait. It's not that. We both like you, that's the problem. I guess we shouldn't have set our sights on one person huh, Mio-chan."
"I don't want to come between your friendship." Maria now was trying to talk herself out of the hole she dug herself in.
"Can we… can we both go out with you?" Mio asked.
"What at the same time?" Hikaru looked shocked.
"Yeah, that way we can share her." Mio beamed.
"I don't know about that…" Maria really wanted out of this situation now. Why hadn't Shiho taken her subtitle panic looks as a hint to coming and rescue her?
"That's just crazy Mio-chan." Hikaru blushed. "We can't both be her girlfriends."
"Why not? We're already going out with a girl, why not go through it together?"
"Hey now, listen. I just want one girl, alright." Maria raised her hands cautiously.
"I agree, it'll be too weird sharing a girlfriend with my best friend." Hikaru looked panicked.
"Hmm, fine. Then you'll just have to pick between us, Fukui-san." Mio turned on Maria.
"There's no way I can after all this." Maria quickly said. "I don't want to mess up your friendship." She glanced at Shiho. Yui had come into the room at this point, and they were talking. Both of them weren't even looking in her direction.
"Then how about rock-paper-scissors?" Mio suggested.
"No way!" Hikaru looked mortified. "We can't leave something this important to chance."
"Well what else do you suggest?"
Maria stepped back. "Maybe you two should figure this out on your own."
"Look, we're scaring her away." Hikaru raised her eyebrows.
"It's all your fault Hikaru-chan!"
"How is it my fault? You're the one coming up with weird ideas!"
"I just wanted all of us to be happy." Mio defended herself.
Hikaru grabbed her arm again. "I'll go out with her."
Mio grabbed the other arm. "No way, I want to go out with her."
"Let go of her, you said I could have her." Mio tightened her grip.
"I said you thought she was cute, but I've liked her since Middle School." Hikaru pulled the other arm.
"You said it was a crush." Mio narrowed her eyes.
Maria yanked herself free. "Maybe you two should date each other."
"No way, she's my friend." Mio looked insulted.
"Whatever, just leave me out of it!" Maria turned around and walked away. Her cheeks were burning. Did that just really happen?
"I can't believe you chased her away!" Hikaru stamped her foot.
"It wasn't me, it was you! Why can't I ever get what I want? It's always got to be about you!"
"I hate you, Mio-chan!"
"I hate you Hikaru-chan!"
Maria rolled her eyes when she sat back down at her seat, then muttered under her breath. "Someone just shoot me…"
