shivered again. “The thought of having a
man touch me like that again literally makes me want to puke
though.”
    “What about making out with Bobby and that one guy,
what was his name, John, in high school? Remember the night
at the lake and the drive through?” Liza asked.
    “I never made out with those guys.” Drew said rolling
her eyes as she was getting back up now and heading into the
house. She looked back at Liza, “I just told you that so you
wouldn’t feel bad about losing your virginity in the back of
Ernie Miller’s mom’s station wagon.” She ducked in the house
now as she saw Liza reach for the coffee mug that was sitting
on the table next to her. About two seconds later she heard the
mug shatter against the brick wall of her apartment building.
    “You bitch!” Liza laughed following Drew inside. “I
haven’t thought about that pimple faced creep in forever! Now
I am sure I will have nightmares! Have you ever even kissed a
guy?”
    “You mean besides the assholes who try to slip one in
on me when I am bartending? No. I have had no desire, Liza.
Does that make me a freak?”
“I think it makes you need to go out and get laid and
find out what you are missing, chick.”
    They both laughed at that.
Liza knew that Drew was
done talking about it now as she watched her start digging out
her paintbrushes. She didn’t think that there was anything in
the world that she could say to Drew that would help her any
more than just letting her get it out. She realized that there was
just one more thing that she needed to know though.
“Drew?” She said quietly.
    Drew set down her papers and looked up at Liza. She
was hoping that Liza didn’t want any more details about that
night. Drew hadn’t eaten anything yet and really hated getting
dry heaves. She was already on the verge of throwing up.
“You aren’t like, into girls are you? You, know, like a
lesbian?” She explained when Drew looked confused.
    Drew turned and walked to her then. She put one hand
on Liza’s cheek then and the other one gently on her butt and
watched as Liza’s mouth dropped to the floor. She said, “I
have been waitingso long for this moment.” She leaned in
then and smacked Liza hard on the open mouth.
    “You are right. Maybe I do need to get laid.” She said
through half closed eyelids. “But not with a girl, if I ever do
change my
mind though, you will
definitely
be my
first
choice.” Drew laughed then and gave her friend’s bottom a
little squeeze.
    “Such a….” Liza started then went to the living room
to get her clothes. “I’m getting in the shower. Alone, and yes,
it will probably be acold one.” She said after Drew raised her
eyebrows at her.
    Drew didn’t know how she had gotten through that.
The countless psychiatrists that her mother had her sit with for
months after that night couldn’t even get that much information
out of her. Maybe it had just been time to let it all out. She
just hoped that Liza wouldn’t feel uncomfortable around her
now knowing her deepest, darkest secret.
    Liza was feeling a bit nauseous after hearing about
Drew’s horrible childhood experience. She took a longer than
normal shower just thinking about everything and soaking up
the heat of the water to try and get the feeling back into her
chilled bones. How the hell was she was supposed to get Drew
to fall in love after all that had happened to her? That would be
like setting up Elton John with Ellen DeGeneres, some things
just weren’t meant to be! If her Nana said it was to be though
then she supposed it would all just have to fall into place
somehow. With Drew’s eviction it was as good a time as any
to get the ball rolling she supposed.
    “Well, I have to get back soon.” Liza said as she came
out of the bathroom looking like her normal, school teacher
self.
Tim and the kids are going to be coming home this
evening and I have been very bad and need to get the house
cleaned up before they get home. What
