the excitement they shared tonight.
    Sarah guffawed. “Oh yeah, baby!” she teased.
    “Oh yeah, what?” Melody ripped off her shoes.
    “You know what!” Sarah laughed. “Now tell me I was right! Tell me you had a wonderful time tonight.”
    She shrugged. “Okay you were right. Lucas is even more terrific.”
    “Told you.” Sarah headed to the kitchen. “You want a snack? I’m dying for an ice cream float.”
    “Sarah, we just had a five-course meal and you’re still hungry? I’m beginning to wonder.” Melody rested on the arm of the couch to rub her feet.
    “Wonder what?”
    “Well, with the signs I’m seeing…are you pregnant?” Melody laughed.
    Sarah popped into the room. “Girl, don’t even play like that. If I was pregnant, it was because a pig flew somewhere around here.”
    Melody laughed. “What should I think? Your clothes are tight. You’re eating even more than usual. You’re complaining about weight gain. Maybe you should take a test to be…”
    “I’m not pregnant!” Sarah guffawed from the kitchen. “Besides, this night was about you and Lucas. Don’t try to change the subject.”
    “Oh Sarah, it was amazing. He kissed me. And it was like a kiss, a kiss you couldn’t even invent. I swear my hair almost melted!” Melody fiddled with her hair.
    “And he’s so gorgeous. He looks even better than he did in school.” She kicked her feet playfully. “And another thing that makes him really great!”
    “What?” Sarah walked in with an overlapping mug of vanilla ice cream. Root beer slithered from the sides of the glass.
    “He thinks I’m prettier than you.” Melody laughed. “Na, na, na, na, na!”
    “Like I give two shits what Lucas Lawson thinks.” Sarah chuckled. “So, is he a good kisser?”
    Melody sighed. “I can’t even describe what it did to me. And you know I needed something, seeing how I haven’t had sex in what…Shit, I can’t even remember.”
    Sarah laughed. “I don’t know how you do it, girl. I go three days without sex and I’m practically climbing the walls.” She slurped some of the float. “I mean, getting dick on a regular basis keeps you grounded. You should try it, Mel.”
    Melody threw a pillow from the couch. “Fuck you.” They laughed. “But I tell you, when Lucas kissed me, I felt like getting on my knees right then and there. That’s how horny he made me.”
    Sarah laughed. “I bet that would have been a sight. You going down on Lucas on the dance floor.” She squinted. “ Would you go down on him?”
    “Sarah, such personal questions.” Melody pretended to be offended. She laughed. “Maybe.” She slipped off her stockings. “Would you go down on Keith?”
    Sarah contemplated the question. “Well, you gotta understand how Keith works. With him, it’s not like sex is anything ordinary, you know?” She sat on the edge of the sofa.
    “What do you mean?”
    “Keith is into a lot of things, sexually. I mean, he’s a freak, to say the least.”
    “Well, you always loved the freaky white boys.”
    Sarah grinned. “You say that like it’s a bad thing. Seriously, Keith brings out something in me I didn’t know I had. The sex is incredible, and the things he can do with that tongue…”
    “Sarah, please.” Melody held her stomach. “That’s a little too much information, okay? I just wanted an answer, not a visual.”
    “I’m sorry if talking about that rapist ruined dinner for you, Mel. You’re worried about Aileen, right? I’m sure she’ll be okay.”
    “How can we be so sure, Sarah? I mean, she fits what he looks for and the police haven’t come up with squat. I wonder if they’re even trying.”
    “Well, the mayor did put the city on curfew a few weeks ago hoping that helps. Hey, I feel sorry for the women who are raped out of bad luck, but I can’t feel sorry for the ones who aren’t being careful.”
    Melody scoffed. “You mean by going off at night or going off to work alone?” Sarah shrugged.
