room.
Sophie lay there feeling relaxed and satiated. She couldn’t believe that she had just had oral sex with Maxwell Van Harkel and that it had felt so good. She hugged herself and hummed songs from ‘The Sound of Music” as she took a shower. Tonight was proving to be a very good night. For the first time that day, Sophie felt like it had been a good idea to come home with Ella for Christmas.
Chapter 3
Sophie met a giddy Ella in the hallway and they went down the stairs arm in arm. Both of them excited for different reasons.
“You look great in that black dress Sophie.” Ella grinned at her. Sophie was grateful that Ella had forgotten that she had wanted to do her makeup. There was no way that she was banking on Ella not making her look like a 2bit whore.
“Thanks, you look great too.” Sophie spun around in her dress, giddy with happiness and anticipation. She was happy now that she had the black dress on; it emphasized her ample breasts and she felt a secret thrill knowing that she had on no underwear under the dress. She was hopeful that Maxwell would see her and immediately have to have her. She even pictured them going into the bathroom stall for a quick shag; though that wasn’t really the way that she wanted to lose her virginity.
“I do, don’t I.” Ella laughed and twirled around as well. She was wearing a metallic gold dress that emphasized the gold tones in her blond hair and she had applied a dark blue eye shadow that made her eyes pop. “We are totally going to pick up some hot guys tonight.”
“I hope so.” Sophie laughed and Ella grabbed her hands.
“Why Sophie. I do believe I am rubbing off on you.” They ran down the rest of the stairs and waited in the foyer for Maxwell to join them. “Maxwell Van Harkel, hurry up.” Ella shouted up the stairs as the two girls waited.
Sophie knew he was coming before she even heard him on the stairs. She had some sort of sixth sense where he was concerned and her body knew when he was within a 100 feet of her without having to see or hear him. She turned to look at him as he came down the stairs and she felt a blaring in her ears as she watched him. He was gorgeous and he looked enigmatic. He was dressed in all black: black jeans and a black shirt and he had never looked so divine. She smiled up at him and was met with a frown.
“You going to a funeral bro?” Ella teased him. “I noticed you had gained a little weight but you didn’t have to wear all black for a slimming look.”
“Are you girls ready?” Maxwell ignored Ella’s comment and was all business. “We can’t stay out too late, I have to work in the morning.”
“What?” Ella’s voice was sad. “That sucks.”
“That’s life Ella.” Maxwell looked unconcerned at her frustration. “Let’s go.”
Sophie tried to catch his eye but he ignored her. She suddenly felt tense and tried to ignore the feeling of foreboding that she felt in her stomach.
“Hi Maxwell, you look nice.” She smiled at him, willing him to look at her and share an intimate moment with her with his eyes.
“Thanks.” He answered dismissively without turning around. He walked quickly out of the main door and Ella and Sophie followed him.
“What a sourpuss.” Ella sighed. “What is it about adults that make them so grumpy all of the time.”
“We’re adults too Ella.” Sophie’s voice was sharp.
“I know. I know. But you know what I mean. Career people. Businessmen. Workers. They always seem to be so serious. That’s why I prefer being in school. Seems to be a lot less stressful.”
“Life is hard in the real world Ella.”
“Ok. Don’t bite my ear off.” Ella looked at Sophie in surprise. “Let’s go get drunk and have some fun.” Ella walked out of the door and Sophie followed, all of a sudden she wasn’t so happy to be going out. She wanted to talk to Maxwell and see what was wrong. Could
