Raine's letter

I cleaned myself up because I was feeling all sticky down there, with blood and Kate's and my juices dried up. Gave myself a good scrub, but didn't go for a full shower since I already had one that morning. After drying off, I wrapped myself in a towel, grabbed my clothes, and put them back on—they were still clean enough. Then, I went to my bro's room to clean up a bit. Made sure there were no crumbs left from last night's feast, so the ants wouldn't invade. Took down the bottles and pitcher we used, swept the floor, and wiped it down to get rid of the sticky booze residue.

Then I remembered the note Lorraine gave me earlier, which I stashed in the kitchen drawer. I grabbed it and sat down facing the kitchen door, looking at Kate. She was out cold, her top still bare.

"HEY,

DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WITH US AND JESSICA. I'LL TALK TO HER AND KEEP IT A SECRET. YOU SHOULD TALK TO ARCY, BUT IF WE CAN, WE'LL CONVINCE HIM TO KEEP QUIET TOO. YOU HANDLE YOUR BUDDY DADOY. HOPEFULLY, THAT LAST TIME WAS THE LAST TIME WE'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM LIKE THAT. IF NOT, LET'S HOPE HE CAN KEEP A SECRET TOO. SO, YOU AND KATE, HUH? DIDN'T KNOW, BUT I GOTTA SAY, I ADMIRE WHAT YOU DID FOR ME. NOT WHEN I WAS DRUNK, BUT THIS MORNING DURING BREAKFAST AND THE SHOWER. DEEP DOWN, I FELT A SPARK. FELT SPECIAL. OUR FRIEND IS LUCKY TO HAVE YOU. HEY! DON'T HURT OR CHEAT ON THAT GIRL! WE LOVE HER EVEN WITH HER QUIRKS! WE'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT TOGETHER EVEN IF WE'RE KIND OF DOING OUR OWN THING NOW. HOPE YOU DON'T CHANGE HOW YOU SEE ME AND JESSICA. IN A SHORT TIME, YOU'VE BECOME A BIG PART OF OUR LIVES, AND I HOPE YOU DON'T JUST THROW THAT AWAY. WE STILL WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU A LOT 'CAUSE, UNLIKE YOUR BRO ARCY, YOU'RE VERY VOCAL.

TRULY,

LORRAINE 6/11/1998

P.S. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN. WANNA SHOW YOU MY WORLD ONE MORE TIME!"

Lorraine sure knows how to write and express herself. Got it all from just a rag. Sorry, Kate, I thought to myself, but I need to wrap things up with Lorraine. Can't just ignore her feelings after what happened. Closure is important, no matter how brief the relationship was. Then I decided to grab some mefenamic acid and sanitary pads from Mom's cabinet. I knew Kate would need them. Took two strips of mefenamic acid and a pad, then went back down. It was past eleven, and I set the stuff on a step before sitting next to Kate. I kissed her right cheek, pressing hard, then held her neck with my right hand to kiss her face all over. I kissed the corner of her mouth, and she woke up.

"Are you okay, love? It's past eleven. Are we still going to Divi?"

"Uhmm, uhmm," she replied, nodding.

"Love, suckle again. To ease the pain," Kate requested. My girlfriend really has an insatiable appetite for sex. But I obliged. I gently nibbled on her nipple, which had softened and wasn't hard anymore. Let's bring it back to life. I kept doing that, nibbling and pulling back. Then I cupped her left breast with my left hand and gently squeezed. She was arching her back, elbows high above her head. Kate's breasts are really something else. Never gets old. Then I slowly climbed on top of her, kissed her lips, and our passion reignited as we kissed deeply. I braced myself with my right arm while my left hand found her right breast. Then I went down to play with her nipples again, this time on the right one.
