“Thanks again Sam for letting us come over tonight, I’m really nervous so this helps a lot,” Moon smiled before taking a swig from one of the wine coolers she has brought over.
The five of them were nestled together on Sam’s bed as they waited for Robby to pick up Moon.
“If you’re nervous you know you don’t have to go through with it. You can still say no,” Lea-Anne gave the girl a worried look.
“I have to agree with Lea,” Amira chimed in.
Moon giggled nervously, “It’s not that I don’t want to, I’ve just heard that the first time can hurt. How much does it hurt?”
“It hurts less if you’re relaxed,” Lea offered but Moon just brushed her off.
“What would you know? It’s not like you’ve had sex,” She turned to Sam, “Did it hurt for you?”
Sam shrugged uncomfortably, she didn’t really enjoy talking about her physical relationship with Miguel. “I guess it did a little, I don’t really remember.”
Moon sighed, “None of you are any help at all!”
Lea rolled her eyes, “You just need to relax. Think about whatever turns you on.”
They watched as Moon seemed to think about that for a moment.
“But I don’t know what turns me on.”
There was a moment of silence before all five girls burst into laughter.
“I can help with that just lay down and close your eyes,” Lea patted the empty space of bed in front of her.
“I don’t really think so, I mean I’m not really into girls. Are you?” Moon seemed to be looking at Lea a little differently.
“It’s not like that, just lay down!” Lea started to sound a little exasperated.
Sam couldn’t help but wonder exactly what Lea was up to but was happy to see that Moon obliged and lay down on the bed in the middle of her friends and closed her eyes.
“Okay, imagine you’re with Robby. Look around you and tell us what’s happening.”
Sam couldn’t help but smile, visualization probably would help the girl.
“We’re in a room with large windows and beautiful white drapes,” Moon started as a smile pulled at her lips, “I’m wearing Vivienne Westwood’s ginnie pencil dress in avio and the t-bone shoes in gold. And I’ve got the Hutton shoulder bag from Coach in chalk and brass draped over my shoulder…”
Moon hummed happily before sitting up, “Oh my god it worked!”
Aisha gave her a look, “You’re turned on by designers?”
Moon just shrugged, “I guess.”
The five of them burst into laughter again and Sam looked down at her watch.
“Look, I know Robby isn’t here yet but we’ve got to wrap this up. Miguel should be coming over soon.”
Moon pouted, “But what am I supposed to do until Robby gets here?”
“We’ll just wait out front,” Amira reached out and squeezed her hand.
They set out straightening her room and Moon placed the remainder of her coolers as well as her empty bottles in Aisha’s bag. As they made their way to the front door the bell rang. Opening the door Sam felt a wave of relief seeing that it was Robby there.
“Bye!” Moon waved with a smile before wrapping her arm around Robby’s and leaving with him.
“Oh, I didn’t realize you had friends over.”
They all looked over to see Sam’s dad who had come when he’d heard the doorbell. “Are the rest of your guests staying for dinner?
Lea, Aisha and Amira shook their heads.
“We’re just leaving,” Lea explained before they said their goodbyes.
“They seem nice,” Daniel smiled as the door closed behind them, “Yasmine wasn’t with you today?”
“I’m allowed to have other friends aren’t I?” Her tone came off more defensively than she had meant it to.
Daniel held up his hands in defense, “Sorry, of course you can. When do you think your boyfriend is going to show up? I’ve got the ponzu sauce ready to go and then I’ll cut the sashimi when he’s here so that it’s fresh and perfect.”
Sam rolled her eyes with a laugh, “You say it’s because you want it to be fresh but we all know that it’s because you just want to show off.”
He grinned back at her, “Well maybe just a little.”
“I’ll give him a call and see if he’s at least left already,” she pressed into her tiptoes and kissed her father on the cheek.
He left to go back to the kitchen as she pulled out her phone and dialed up Miguel.
“Hey, just wondering what time you were going to get here? My dad is really excited about meeting you,” Samantha was smiling as he answered the phone. Even though she had put it off for so long she was actually excited about her dad finally meeting Miguel. Sure he had issues with Cobra Kai but maybe he would be okay with Miguel once he met him and saw how sweet he was.
“Actually about that, I said I’d help my Yaya with something and I don’t think I’m going to make it.”
Samantha felt her stomach drop, how could he do this to her?
“Well how long will it take? You can always come over later…”
Miguel signed on the other end of the line, “I don’t think I’ll get there tonight. Another time okay?”
Sam’s eyes widened as she heard the voice of another girl on the line.
“Miguel, who is that in the background?”
“It’s just my mom. Love you, gotta go!”
The line went dead and she stared at her phone. She knew Carmen’s voice and that was not Miguel’s mother in the background.
Dejected she walked back to the kitchen to deliver the bad news to her father.
