Cindy helped Mandy out of Jake’s apartment and walked them to theirs. She pulled her keys out of her pocket and opened the door. She helped Mandy inside then quickly closed it and locked the door. They made their way into her bedroom and she helped her onto the bed. There were no sheets on the bed or anything.

She walked over to the boxes and began to get out a sheet and quilt. She threw these over Mandy and walked out to the bathroom. The beer had made its way through her so she sat on the toilet and urinated. She reached for some tissue but saw that there was none. She groaned inside and stood up just dropping her pants and underwear on the floor. She walked out and rummaged through some boxes till she found a box of tissues and brought them into the bathroom. She wiped herself and then flushed the toilet. She lay the tissue box on the flush box.

She then realized there was no soap or towels. She walked back and opened boxes until she found some and brought them into the bathroom. That was one thing that Mandy teased her about. She had to have everything and every box labeled. She was ready for everything when they moved in, everything but Jake that is. She sighed again and looked at herself in the mirror, unconsciously smoothing down her hair. Was she kidding herself? Why would a hot guy like Jake want a plain girl like her? She washed her hands and face then walked back into the bedroom. She lay down next to Mandy and gently shook her.

“Hey Mandy.” She whispered. “Are you ok?”

Mandy rolled to face her and buried her face into Cindy’s chest.

“I feel so weird Cindy.” She mumbled. “I almost choked on the beer when I laughed at his joke and then almost tripped over Jake’s coffee table when I stood up. Then when he caught me it was like a shock went through me and all I could feel was him touching me. I froze up, I did not know what was happening. All I felt was his touch and his smell. I just wanted to rub myself all over him.”

“I know, I felt the same earlier when he caught me when I tripped.” Said Cindy. “It was all I could do not to do the same when we went over to his apartment. I am controlling it but my brain feels fuzzy when I get close to him.”

“I am surprised there was no sign of any women in his apartment.” Said Mandy. “That is if he has this affect on women.”

“I agree.” Mused Cindy. “Does he even realize this? He did not try and take advantage of us.”

She lay back on the bed and hugged Mandy closer. I thought I had everything planned out, she thought, now I have Mandy and Jake to worry about.

“Go and get cleaned up and get ready for bed Mandy.” Said Cindy, giving Mandy a gentle push. “I will make the bed up and we can sleep together, like old times. We can worry about all this after a good night’s sleep. We still have to get the apartment straightened up and I have a new job to start next week. You soon have to start school as well, so we have lots of other things to worry about.”

Mandy rolled off the bed and walked out to the bathroom. Cindy got up and walked over to a box and pulled out a set of sheets. She quickly made up the bed. She then opened another box and pulled out her old pajamas, then found Mandy’s and lay them on the bed. She stripped and pulled them on and crawled into the freshly made bed and took a deep breath. It smelled of home. Mom had dried them on the line and she could smell the odor of home on them. She could never get used to sheets dried in the dryer.

Mandy walked out to the bathroom and stripped off her clothes and dropped them on the floor. She sat on the toilet and quickly urinated. She grabbed a tissue and wiped herself, then dropped it into the toilet and flushed. She turned on the sink and washed her hands and face. She did not see a toothbrush or paste so just used her finger to wipe over her teeth, she never had the energy to look for them now. She looked at herself in the mirror and stepped back and admired herself. She knew she was attractive and had a great body, everyone told her that. She exercised regularly and her body was well toned. The question was would Jake like her and it? She had never thought of this like a boy before, everyone seemed attracted to her. Most boys and some girls, not that she was into that.

She winked at herself did a pirouette and walked into the bedroom. She saw he pajamas on the bed and smiled. Candy is so organized and caring, she thought. She pulled them on and then crawled in next to her sister and snuggled up to her. She took a deep sniff and smiled at the fresh smell. Mom dried the sheets on the line and it was so fragrant, it reminded her of home. Candy wiggled next to her.

“Good night Mandy.” Mumbled candy sleepily.

“Good night sis.” Said Mandy in return. With that she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.
