he’d be like a freshly charged battery.
     
     
    “Ok, I’ll meet you in the kitchen. Do you want your crutches?” He did and after she got them she got the water going for the coffee. She only made enough for him, she didn’t want to take a chance that her stomach would start hurting again. When he appeared in the kitchen he was holding the newspaper and she stopped him before he could reach for the Cheerios.
     
     
    “Okay, Babe…really. Enough with the Cheerios.”
     
     
    “Cheerio Nazi,” he scowled playfully.
     
     
    “I’ll make you eggs.”
     
     
    “Mmm, sounds good.” He leaned against the counter and watched her scramble half a dozen eggs and then make toast. They ate and shared the newspaper, gave each other furtive looks and then made-out. Afterwards they hurried to school.
     
     
    At lunch as they made their way to the cafeteria they saw Patty and Link waiting at the entrance. Robin greeted them with a broad smile. It felt good to see them. After last night it seemed that she could really think of the two as her friends and not just Jason’s.
     
     
    “Come on!” Patty said happily.
     
     
    “’Come on’ where?” Jason asked.
     
     
    “We’re going out for lunch!” Link responded while looking around. “Come on before everybody sees us and wants to crash!” They quickly followed him out of the building. Patty nudged Robin. “How are you feeling?”
     
     
    “Good.” She nodded. And it was the truth. She didn’t think that she had ever felt better.
     
     
    “Are you sure? You’re not just saying that are you?” Patty asked.
     
     
    Robin nodded seriously. “I promise.” Her stomach pain was notorious for appearing and then disappearing without a trace. The four friends loaded into the van and Link drove a short ways to a little used section of the college. Robin looked around curiously. She didn’t see any restaurants.
     
     
    Link parked and then pushed his seat back. Patty unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed into Link’s lap.
     
     
    Jason and Robin stared at each other in alarm. “Uh…” Jason began. Link broke his kiss with Patty to look at them. He winked. “We got half an hour so if you two don’t want to spend it making out, don’t mess it up for us.”
     
     
    Jason drummed his fingers along his knees self consciously. Robin wasn’t a public kissing type person and she tried to look at anything but Link and Patty. But soon neither of them could stop thinking about last night…and they hadn’t spent any real time yet today kissing. Besides it was only Patty and Link. And for Robin her body still hummed with an undercurrent that wouldn’t quite go away; it was the feeling of wanting to know what other pleasure was hidden within her.
     
     
    Jason looked at her and Robin slipped onto his lap, her arms going around his neck. Jason sighed, his arms went around her hips and for the next few minutes neither Robin nor Jason thought about anyone or anything else but each other.
     
     
    When they returned to school there was an unspoken understanding that this was probably not going to be the last time the group would ‘go out for lunch’.
     
     
    Later that afternoon when the two were back at Jason’s apartment she only stayed long enough to drop him off and to put away his things. She realized that if she stayed they would accomplish nothing but making out. And she didn’t want to be a distraction to things that he needed to do; like homework and music making. Besides she had things that she needed to take care of, as well. She hadn’t kept her promise to visit Miss Lucille and she was not going to let another day pass without doing it.
     
     
    Before she left Jason made her promise that when she returned later in the evening, she would have an overnight bag packed in her trunk in case she ever wanted to spend the night again—which is something he hoped would be a regular occurrence. He had loved waking up and seeing her there and feeling her
