"Done!" She exclaimed loudly with a triumphant smile. "Tasted great Mr D Thanks!"
Peyton took her wares and washed them quickly as Sadie thanked Mr and Mrs Dexter for letting her stay the night. She returned to the dining room and announced, "alrighty then, let's get going we have five minutes."
Keys already in hand, Kimberly kissed her parents as the girls bid them goodbye and then they were off.
They somehow managed to get to school on time causing all three to exhale with relief.
Sadie left Kimberly and Peyton when they entered the school because she had different classes to them. Peyton watched her walk away and she couldn't help but feel a little sad because she knew she would not see Sadie all day. Seeing that she has lunch time detention and all. 'I hope she sticks around after school... I would really like to see her before I go home.'
Peyton was drawn out of her thoughts by the sound of Kimberly chuckling. She looked at Kimberly, "what?"1
"You've got it bad!"8
Peyton blushed, "whatever!"
They rushed off to their first class and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the teacher had not come to school so they were free for that period. Everyone moved around the class to sit with their friends and chat or whatever.
Peyton paid them no mind as she just doodled in her notebook while she thought longingly about Sadie and the kisses they shared and how she could not wait to kiss Sadie again. Then her mind ran on Sadie's invitation - or rather her demand - to go to lunch with her mother on Saturday.
Peyton could not help but wonder what Sadie's mother was like, 'is she like Mrs D? Does Sadie look like her? She sure doesn't look like her father... I wonder if she'll approve of me as a friend for her little girl? I wonder what she meant by she thought Sadie was into girls? I can't believe Sadie didn't ask her. Well, she did give me permission to ask and I have every intention of doing so. Although I now know for a fact that she does indeed like girls. Well, she likes me. But I wonder why? I ain't all that. There's so many beautiful girls out there. Why me? Well... I did run her down. Maybe I'm just her experiment. Maybe she's just testing both sexes to see which she prefers and when she decides she'll find somebody she really loves and deserves. But at least for now she's willing to make out with me and I can't be more ecstatic.'6
Peyton jumped when her pen was pulled out of her grip. "Your mind sure is far." She heard Casey's humour filled voice say.
She turned and saw Casey smiling at her as she gave her back her pen.
"Hey Casey. Sorry about that. What's up?" Peyton gave her full attention.
"It's okay. Can I talk to you?"
"Yeah of course," Peyton nodded. "Wait, where's Kimmy?"
Casey pointed across the classroom to where Kimmy was talking and laughing with a small group.
"So... Sadie called me yesterday."
Peyton cringed slightly, 'shit, I forgot to ask about how things went with Casey's conversation.' Peyton looked at her concerned, "how'd that go?"1
"So you did set her up to it?"
Peyton nodded as she bit her lip, "yeah... I'm sorry..."
Casey smiled, "why are you sorry?"
Peyton shrugged, "maybe it was not my place to do so. I should have asked you first or something. I don't know..."
Casey placed her hand on Peyton's shoulder, "it's okay. I'm fine with it. I have no idea what you did to that girl but whatever it was, thanks!"1
Peyton smiled a knowing smile, "I have no idea what I did... anyhow, so you did tell her right?"
Casey nodded, "yeah I did. At first I was really confused cause she called and told me that you said it is okay for me to tell her the secret that I have been keeping from her. I was like what the fuck did Peyton do?! So I was like, 'I'm not keeping any secrets from you' and she was like, 'if Peyton says you are then I believe her so tell me' and I was like, 'you've known Peyton how long? You believe her over me?' and she was like, 'I trust Peyton. Plus, things have been strained between us for a while leading me to believe that Peyton is telling the truth' so then I just blurted, 'I'm a lesbian Sadie. Now you can hate me too' and then she was like, 'why would I hate you for being who you are?' and I was like,'you hate Peyton' and she was like, 'no I don't. Peyton is my friend' and I was like, 'the fuck?' and she laughed and then she said something to me that just touched my very soul and made me cry."1
Peyton was smiling so wide it was getting almost painful, "I am so glad it went well! What did she tell you?"
Casey's eyes got watery as she spoke, "she said to me, and I quote, 'it's okay Casey. I still love you. You are still the same girl I have known and loved for the past three and a half years. All that has changed is that I now know something more about you than I did before. I only hope you can forgive me for my horrible attitude about all of this. I know different now and I am truly sorry.' I can't believe she said that! I mean, is she even the same person?"4
Peyton smiled a dreamy smile, "she's the same person... she just had a change of heart."1
"Hey, is something going on between the two of you?" Casey probed with a grin.2
Peyton blushed, "you can't let her know I told you though."
Casey nodded and put her hand over her heart, "I promise."
"We made out."
"Wow! I'm glad for you! So, are you guys like a couple or something now?"
Peyton gave her signature head shake, "nah..."
"You gonna ask her?"
"I guess so. One day... so what about you though? You have your eyes on anyone?"
Casey gave a shy smile, "well... kind of... but it'll never happen."
"Why?"
"She's married. To a man..."9
"Wait what?"
"My neighbour. She is the epitome of what I think a woman should be..." Casey said in a dreamy tone. "See, I don't like girls. I like women. They are more mature. More attractive."25
Peyton smiled as she shook her head, "way to break my heart Casey."
Casey nudged her, "oh hush you know I'm not saying anything bad about you. My real fantasy is that when I get to college I'll have this really gorgeous lecturer and we would fall in mad love with each other making every class difficult because of the raw sexual tension between us."21
They both laughed and Peyton said to her, "well don't give up on that dream. You never know what life has in store for you. If I could have gotten such a homophobic girl to make out with me you could get your steamy college romance."4
"I'm gonna come out to Justine and Kirk at lunch."
Peyton smiled, "I'm really happy for you Casey. I know you had a bit of a hard time with this but seeing you now, you're so free."
Casey nodded, "all thanks to you. I think I was really allowing myself to be deterred by Sadie. I wanted her to be the first I told since she's my best friend and all you know?"
Peyton nodded with a smile, "I totally understand."
Chapter 35
"Hey!" Sadie greeted with a smile as she shifted allowing Peyton to enter her apartment.
"Hey there lover." Peyton winked at her as she stepped in.2
Sadie blushed uncontrollably, "Peyton!"
Peyton simply shook her head with a smile as she dropped her backpack next to the couch.
"I thought you were going to spend the weekend?" Sadie asked with a frown.
"I am."
"So then where's the rest of your stuff?"
"I have all that I need in that bag."
"Peyton, everything cannot fit in there. Are you messing with me?"
Peyton gave Sadie her signature headshake. "I'm serious. I have everything I need. My books to do my studies, my uniform for Monday and a shirt for tomorrow." She pointed at the cargo pants she was wearing, "I'm wearing this pants tomorrow. I think your mom would love my shirt." Peyton smiled a playful smile. "You... I'm not so sure about..."5
This perked Sadie's curiosity and she walked closer to Peyton, "what is it?"
"I'm not telling." Peyton grinned.1
"Fine! But what
about clothes for the rest of the weekend?"
"Well I'm actually a nudist. Just try to be careful. I'm sensitive in some parts." Peyton said with a serious face.
Sadie turned completely red and stuttered incoherently for several seconds before Peyton spoke again, "don't worry I'll throw on something when your dad is here."
"Peyton..." Sadie said weakly before she began to stutter again.
She sat on the couch and put her head in her hands trying to think of an appropriate response to this. She did not want to hurt Peyton's feelings by telling her she didn't want her prancing about naked because in all honesty she won't mind seeing that but she didn't think she could bear to see Peyton naked all weekend. It would drive her crazy. It would drive her to want to, and possible actually do, things she should not.3
She looked up suddenly to see Peyton literally rolling on the floor as she held her stomach and laughed. "I'm screwing with you Sadie!" She laughed some more. "I would never do that! One, I would be uncomfortable and two, it would be unfair."2
Sadie screamed and she threw a cushion at Peyton, "meanie!"
"You're so naive Sadie..."
As she watched Peyton writhing with laughter a thought occurred to her, "how would it be unfair?"2
"Because you would be clothed. What's the fun in one naked person and one clothed person? Where's the fairness in that?"
Sadie threw another cushion at Peyton which she caught this time. Peyton placed the two cushions next to each other and put her head on one. "Come, lay down with me."1
Sadie followed Peyton's order and lay down next to the extremely frustrating girl as she spoke, "why did I ever tell to continue teasing me?"
Peyton turned on her side facing Sadie who followed her action. Looking Sadie in the eye she said, just above a whisper, "because you love it."
Sadie looked at her and smiled, "I think I do."1
They remained like that until Sadie broke the silence, "so what's your real plan?"
Peyton blushed, "it's kinda dumb and I hope you don't think it's too weird or anything because if you do it's fine I can go back home and get some clothes. It's only like a five minute drive. I'll..."1
Sadie cut her off by placing her finger on Peyton's rapidly moving lips. "Shhh." Sadie smiled, "just tell me. I am sure you are overthinking it."
She removed her finger and Peyton continued in a calmer tone, "I was thinking it's time to see how I look in your clothes..." She scrunched up her face as she looked at Sadie for a response.
Sadie just smiled brightly at her, "I swear you are so adorable sometimes. You sure you want to wear my clothes though? They're a bit different to yours."
"I know... but you have some neutral numbers in there. Just don't give me any strappy stuff."
Sadie chuckled, "strappy stuff?"
Peyton nodded, "you know... thin straps, halters or any of those things that have to tie up in the back or something."
Sadie laughed, "okay. I'll see what I can do since you think I dress like a stripper and all."4
"I don't think that! It's just you have a lot of really girly girly stuff and I'd look like a baboon in that."
"I'm teasing you Peyton!" Sadie smiled broadly; glad that she could finally get back at Peyton. "And you would look awesome in some strappy stuff. Maybe a strappy dress?"
"Oh hell no!"
Sadie laughed, "I'm kidding Peyton!"
Peyton pouted, "you hurt my feelings. Now you have to rub them."1
"Oh no. I am not getting caught in that again."
They both laughed and turned on their backs as they enjoyed the simple company of the other.
"Hey Sadie?"
"Yes?"
"You feeling like cooking tonight?"
"Yes. And I plan to. Why?"
"Do you know how to make pancakes?"
"Yes. Why? You hungry?"
"I don't think I'm hungry... but I am feeling to eat pancakes..."2
Sadie turned her head and studied Peyton who still stared at the ceiling, oblivious to the fact that she was looking at her. Peyton was perfect in her eyes. She has grown to love just about everything about the girl. Sure she got her frustrated at times but it was usually because Peyton was just toying with her and she had to admit that she loved it.
"I'll make you anything you want." She watched as Peyton smiled and it made her heartbeat increase. She sat up then, "you ready now?"
Peyton looked at her and nodded.
They both got up and Sadie questioned, "do you want to take a shower or have you showered already?"
Peyton feigned shock, "can you not tell whether I am clean or not?"
Sadie crossed her arms on her chest, "how am I supposed to tell that Peyton?"
"Well, you're always sniffing me..."
"I do not sniff you!"
Peyton laughed, "okay okay. But seriously now," she stepped closer to Sadie and lifted one arm, "you wanna take a smell?"
Sadie pushed her away and cried, "Peyton! You meanie!"
Peyton laughed, "can't you find a more endearing name for me?"5
Sadie blushed and ignored her question as she just stood there looking back at her.
"Fine... yeah, I need to shower. Kimmy was invited to Kirk's Cousin's wedding tonight so she commandeered the shower and I was not going to wait on her."1
"What about her parent's bathroom or the one downstairs?"
Peyton shook her head, "I could have but honestly, I just couldn't wait to get here."
Sadie shook her head, "it does not have hot water here you know? And the bathroom is really tiny. You could have waited a few more minutes and showered comfortably."
Peyton shook her head slightly, "I don't discriminate. This is where you live and I have no problem with that."
"You never fail to amaze me Peyton."
Peyton shrugged, "I believe it is something anybody would do."
"Trust me Peyton, it's not. Most people would have asked me to spend the weekend in their big, comfortable home. They would not want to stay here because we both know this is a dump."
"Sadie, it does not matter to me if we have a king sized bed or two cushions on the floor or if we have a steak each or share one sandwich the only thing that matters to me is the pronoun."2
Sadie creased her eyebrows and Peyton explained, "as long as it is 'we'. I don't care where we are and what we have. All that matters is that whatever it may be, I have you to share it with."6
Sadie's eyes welled up as she looked at Peyton in disbelief, "I did nothing to deserve you."
"Yes you did."
"What?"
"You're you." Peyton smiled and hugged Sadie, "I would have you no other way."1
Returning the hug, a tear ran free as she replied, "and I would have you no other way either."
Sadie smiled as she went to her cupboard and pulled out a short pants and t-shirt and handed it to Peyton. "Let me know if that is too girly for you."
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"Music?" Peyton asked as she pulled onto the highway.
Sadie shook her head then realised Peyton could not see her, "no. I'd rather just talk."
Peyton smiled to herself. "Fine by me." She glanced at Sadie quickly as she said, "I love talking with you."
"As do I."
"So... what do you wanna talk about?"
Sadie thought for a moment, "tell me what your t-shirt says."
"Nope."
"Awww... come on Peyton. Please?" Sadie begged and Peyton just shook her head.
Peyton had brought a t-shirt with a print on it but she put a shirt over it and buttoned it so only the first two words were visible - "Nobody Knows"4
"You'll see it when your mom does."
Sadie opened her mouth and Peyton cut her off, "meanie. I know." She chuckled. "Next topic."
"Umm..." Sadie seemed to be thinking hard then suddenly she blurted, "I know! Tell me something about you that nobody else knows."
"That's really cliché Sadie."
"I know... but stil
l... answer it please?"
Peyton sighed, "okay... fine. But you have to do the same." She warned.
Sadie nodded, "I promise."
Peyton thought for a while before she uncomfortably said, "I've never... played with myself..."13
Sadie was honestly in shock, "seriously?!"
"Seriously."
"Not even for me?"1
Peyton bit her lip, "trust me, I was tempted but no."
"Why?"
"Uh uh. I told you something nobody knows. It's your turn."
"But you've got me curious and I wanna know why..."
Peyton grinned, "I'll tell you but after you say something about you and then you're gonna have to say something else too because that counts as you asking two questions."
Sadie gave in quickly, "okay. When I was eight mom bought me a tub of playdough and it went missing. I told her that and she bought me a new one. I used that new one to make all sorts of lovely stuff and the one that went missing? Well, let me just tell you, playdough tastes really good. Almost salty."20
Peyton laughed, "oh my god you actually ate playdough? I mean, not just taste, you schemed your mom so she wouldn't realise the playdough was getting less and less? Damn girl..."1
"I ate that entire tub..." Sadie smiled in remembrance. "So, back to you, why have you never masturbated?"4
"I want to experience my first orgasm at the hands of someone who loves me. I mean, I have touched myself a couple times but I never really did anything. I always stop after a few seconds because well, it's just a fantasy of mine... I want my first time to be my first time in every sense."3
Sadie looked at her for a few seconds before responding. "Wow... that is amazing... I admire you Peyton." Sadie shook her head smiling, "things are never dull with you."
"Your turn." Peyton smiled as she stole a glance at Sadie.
Sadie thought for a minute, "I honestly can't think of anything else..."
"I don't believe that."
"Okay... there is something but it involved other people. I never told anyone about it and the people who knew, I never told them the truth. Does that count?"
"Yeah. Why not?"
It was silent for a long time and when Peyton looked over at Sadie she was a nervous wreck. "Hey, you don't have to tell me. Let's talk about something else."
