Chapter 2

Katie is almost halfway moved in. It's nice to help her bring everything to our apartment.

I noticed that she has a lot of romance books. I'm glad that as I'm helping her move and unpack I learn more and more about her.

"So. I have a question for you Maria."

"Sure. Ask away."

"I like to walk around naked after my shower. Is that ok or does it bother you?"

I might get awkward but I want to be fine with it.

"That's fine. But I also like to walk around naked too."

"Perfect! We will be naked together."

I blushed.

"That came out wrong. We will be walking around naked together."

I chuckled.

"That sounds the same. Whatever. I give up!"

"I know what your trying to say, Katie."

She smiled and we continued to finish bringing everything in.

Hours later

"I'm so tired!"

"Same here. But I'm glad we got all your stuff in and unpacked."

"Me too."

"Goodnight Katie."

"Goodnight Maria."

I got and walked to my room. I wish I could stay up later but I'm super tired.

Feeling too hot, I went into bed naked.

My eyes slowly closed and I drifted off to bed.

----

Her body was pressed up against mine. We were so close to each other. I could feel her breath on my neck.

"I want you so bad Maria."

She turned me around and grabbed my face. I gasped as she forced her lips onto mine.

----

I sat up breathing deeply. Was I just having a dream about Katie and I kissing? What were we going to do if I hadn't woken up?

I need to deal with my sexual feelings towards Katie and soon. It would be terrible if I went and did something stupid that Katie feels the need to move out.

----

Morning

Katie and I sat at the kitchen table eating breakfast and watching the office.

"Katie?"

"Mmh?"

"Have you ever dated a girl before?"

"Yeah. Many times."

"Oh. That's cool."

"Why are you asking sweetie?"

I love how she already has nicknames for me.

"Just wondering. I like girls but I've been with any."

I blushed.

"That's ok!"

I smiled and we both went back to watching the office.

----

Months Later

People say that you should never date your best friend because it can ruin the relationship, but it worked with my brother and his wife.

I'm used to Katie living with me now. Whenever I heard weird noises, I would get scared and keep a kitchen knife by my bed. Now any noises I hear is Katie's music or her talking in her sleep.

College is getting harder as the days go by. I am failing my science class, even in the past years, I have been passing. I guess college science is too much for me. I may ask the administrative office if I can drop out.

When I get home Katie is always running on her treadmill watching Pretty Little Liars. I always get distracted because of how beautiful she looks when she runs.

Her black hair up in a ponytail swishing back and forth. Her chest rising up and down as she takes deep breaths. I love how she can focus on being healthy and eating a proper diet.

I like to eat munchies whenever I get the chance. I should be gaining a lot of weight but I puke it all out after.

When I was younger I had gained some weight because I lived with my grandmother for a couple of years. My parents were in a big fight and they left each other for a while. Neither of them could take proper care of me so I was sent to live with my grandmother.

When they got back together my mother made me lose all the weight because she said that her daughter should never be fat. When I got to high school, I learned that there was an easier way to lose weight. All I had to do was make myself throw up.

The more I did it, the simpler it got. It became a routine. Eat as much as I like, go to the bathroom immediately, turn on music and puke it up. It's tough in public because I can't blast my music.

I stopped eating at school and whenever I was out with friends/family. After years of eating and throwing it up. My mother found out, she sent me to a doctor and he helped me out. For a month I didn't throw up my food.

I looked at myself in the mirror one day after my shower and say that my stomach was beginning to get bigger. No one knows that I resumed vomiting out my food.

On the last day of the week, I headed home from a long day at school. Katie was doing her workout again. My back is hurting so I walked to my bedroom.

From behind the closed door, the noise of the tv was muffled. It feels nice to know that I have a friend who can help me out whenever I need it. I laid on my bed trying so hard not to fall asleep, but the room started going black. I shut my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
