She Said, She Said: an Honor Society novella

Mina awoke in her own bed. She wasn’t quite sure how she ended up there, but she knew she wasn’t alone. Actually, her bed felt a little crowded. She was squished in between Tricia and Carrie who both were still sleeping. Each had a big smile on her face.

The three girls shared drinks, truths, and ended up sharing an amazing sexual experience the night before. And all three of them were still naked, lying on top of the covers, which meant they hadn’t even been coherent enough to get in the bed. But coherent or not, the one thing Mina did remember was Carrie’s revelation about her liking Mina a lot, but not wanting to go public with anything. She also remembered Tricia saying the same thing, but not quite in the same words. Tricia had mumbled something about wanting to do things together outside, like movies and things, but to keep the sex private.

Mina could not believe that she had gone from total virgin, with men and women six months prior, to now being caught in what seemed to be a lesbian love triangle. She also couldn’t believe that they all ended up in bed together. But more importantly, she couldn’t believe how badly she had to go to the bathroom, and how badly she did not want to wake the girls.

It was a typical Saturday for Mina. She awoke late, fixed herself a latte, and sat in the living room watching some gossip show. She loved those types of shows, but something in her head kept telling her that life was about to become even more scandalous than the “trash sheets-turned- trash TV” shows were.

Tricia entered the living room in a thin silk robe carrying a coffee mug with steam rising from it. Mina knew it was a latte, as that was Tricia’s Saturday ritual as well.

Tricia sat down extremely close to Mina and let her robe open a little, revealing a toned thigh and an equally toned abdominal section.

“Morning.” Tricia said in an overly sultry tone. Her eyes lingered on Mina as she sipped her warm beverage, making Mina more than a little anxious.

Mina answered her, shifting around in her seat a little bit, careful not to look at Tricia’s freshly washed skin, no matter how much she had wanted to. Instead, she kept her eyes on the TV, only glancing at Tricia as she pretended to be interested in what was outside the window across from her.

After a few minutes, the girls were joined by Carrie, making things a bit less awkward and a lot more awkward at the same time. Obviously having someone else in the room broke the silent tension between Tricia and Mina, but added a bit more when considering that Carrie probably wouldn’t be happy about them sitting so close. After all, Carrie had expressed just as much interest in Mina the night before as did Tricia.

Carrie looked over at Mina and Tricia with a bit of surprise on her face, but she didn’t say a word. She sat on the love seat near the sofa where Mina sat, only looking over when she was interested in what was outside the window. The same window Mina was interested in when she snuck a peek at Tricia.

No one said a word the whole time. They sat in silence drinking their beverages, watching the show, and ‘accidentally’ catching each other’s gaze when they were looking out the window. Mina happened to be the one catching the most gazes, while Tricia and Carrie seemed to only look at each other when they caught the other looking at Mina.
Monday came not a moment too soon. Mina usually hated her schedule on Monday but time away from her two roommates was just what she needed. She needed time to think about what she was going to do, if anything, concerning her new love situation. Unfortunately she wouldn’t be getting too much alone time to do that, she realized, as her Slidekick vibrated in her pocket.

The message was from Tricia, asking Mina if she wanted to go get some coffee in between classes. They both had an hour between their second classes and their was a cozy little coffee shop just off campus. Not too many students seemed to go there, and Mina figured that was why Tricia wanted to go there: alone time with Mina.

As she had promised, Tricia was sitting in a booth with two cups of coffee in front of her. Mina went to her friend and sat down across from her. Tricia then got up and sat beside Mina. Tricia’s almond body wash immediately filled Mina’s nose, making her want to kiss Tricia. The thought quickly left her mind when she remembered that she really had no reason to believe she was into girls. Well, except what happened the last Friday.

“Mina, you look so cute in your blouse. I always loved that purple on you.” Tricia said as she rubbed Mina’s back, inching her way to Mina’s perky butt.

Then without a word Tricia leaned in and kissed Mina on the cheek and then on the lips. And at that moment, Mina forgot about her sexuality and made out with Tricia. No one except for the employees were there, and at that moment, Mina couldn’t have cared less if the gossip rags would have been there too.

“That was amazing.” Mina said as she caught her breath.

Tricia’s chest heaved underneath her skintight halter. Her eyes had that “I want to fuck you right now” glaze over them, and her voice dropped at least one octave. There was no doubt that Tricia was feeling exactly what Mina was feeling. And it was those feelings combined with a disdain for calculus why Mina and Tricia missed their class that afternoon.
