The relief I felt was amazing. I closed my eyes for a few minutes, just to let my hair set.
    Happy chattering filtered in from the kitchen through my bedroom’s open door. I opened my eyes and sat up, naked on my bed. I must have fallen asleep. Lisa and Stacey were home from work.
    At the sound of the back door sliding open Stacey called out, “Hi, Frank!”
    “So how was the first day?” Frank said.
    “Ugh! I’m so tired!” Stacey sounded exhausted and happy all at once. Proud of herself. I was happy for her. That first day at the first job is such a great feeling.
    I aimed the hot air from the blow dryer at my rolled up hair, then let the rollers sit for a few minutes while I decided what to wear.
    “Oh, how nice,” I heard Frank say flatly. “Brad’s here.”
    “Happy Birthday, kid!” Brad’s cheerful voice sounded.
    “Happy birthday, Stacey,” said someone else.
    Butterflies played over my stomach. That was J.D.’s low tone.
    I chose my usual shorts and a new pink cotton tank top with cut-out snowdrops along the top. The back was all cut-outs in flower shapes that showed a lot of skin.
    I took out the rollers and brushed out my hair. I love the feeling of my hair falling on my shoulders, but I wanted to show off my bare skin, so I grabbed a scrunchie for a ponytail. I put on a little blush and lip gloss and my favorite sterling silver snowdrop earrings.
    J.D. had come. It had to mean he wasn’t completely repulsed by me. I felt my cheeks redden on the way out to the kitchen, thinking about my fantasizing earlier. The release in the shower was nice, but not enough. I had real feelings for J.D., and I didn’t want them stop.
    I wanted Jaxom Draco Reider in my bed again, and not merely to keep me company when I slept.
