Camp on Thursday was hot and humid. Keegan joined Janet on the walk over to the field. Gwen never came back to the room. This bothered Keegan. She was mad Gwen. She didn't call or let Keegan know where she was at. As soon as she set her bag down on the grass, Gwen walked through the gate. Sunglasses shaded her eyes and her hair was loose and down. Keegan had never seen Gwen wear her hair down this early in the morning.
"Hello." Gwen said as she sat down. She pulled her hair back and tied it up. Keegan nodded an acknowledgment of her presence. Janet began telling Gwen a story about her sister. Tara came to the field earlier than usual. She waved to Keegan.
"What's that about?" Gwen asked appearing to be a bit annoyed.
"Nothing. Just found a common ground. That's all." Keegan finished stretching and got to her feet to run her laps. Their routine had been she and Gwen ran laps together. She did not want to wait for Gwen. On the second lap around the field, Gwen joined her. They ran together for awhile.
"Are you mad at me?" Gwen asked.
"No, why would I be mad at you?" Keegan said even though she was mad at Gwen.
"Because I didn't stay at the dorm last night." Gwen answered.
"I didn't realized you weren't there until this morning. I got in late. I had a pretty good time. I was a bit drunk though. Did you have a good time?" Keegan didn't wait for the answer. She sped up her pace staying ahead of Gwen. She wasn't drunk last night. She wanted to know where Gwen spent the night. It wasn't any of her business. She dared not to ask.
The day went on as usual. Drill after drill. Keegan was quiet for most of the day. She stayed away from Gwen and any conversation with her. She was trying to separate herself from Gwen. She would get through camp today and tomorrow. She would head home Friday afternoon. She would have an entire week without Gwen Lerner.
At the end of the day, Curtis gathered the woman together. Keegan stood next to Janet opposite Gwen.
"I want to thank all of you for your efforts here this week." He nervously touched his ball cap. "Tomorrow will be the last day for some of you. I wish I could keep you all but there are only so many spots on the team. As a tradition, I have invited the returning team to scrimmage the newbie's on Friday afternoon. After that you are free for a week, unless otherwise designated. Good luck ladies and have a good night." Curtis dismissed the team.
Keegan grabbed her bag and head back to the dorm faster than normal. She did not wait for Gwen nor did she look back to see where Gwen was. She headed up the stairs. She was hot and cranky. She wanted to take a shower and lay down for a bit. Keegan made it to the room before Gwen. She set her bag down and started to strip for a shower. Gwen walked in just as Keegan took her shirt off.
"Keegan, I am sorry." Gwen said her voice cracked. Keegan felt bad for treating her like she had at camp.
"What are you talking about?' Keegan said as she leaned against the closet door.
"I am sorry that I did not come home or call last night." Gwen sat heavily on her bed.
"Gwen," Keegan stood there in her sports bra and shorts. "I went out last night. I left you here last night. You don't have to answer to me. " Keegan started to take off her shorts. Gwen turned away.
"Go take your shower. We can talk about this later." Gwen noticed her pillow on Keegan's bed.
"I fell into the wrong bed last night." Keegan grabbed the pillow off her bed and handed it to Gwen. "I'm gonna shower." Keegan headed to the bathroom. "If you want to we can do something later." Keegan's guilt got the best of her. She felt bad for the way she treated Gwen at camp. She stopped, as she was just about to enter the bathroom. "I am sorry. I was mad that you weren't here this morning. It's not any of my business. I am sorry that I wasn't honest with you. "
"If we are going to live together, we need to let the other know if something is bothering one another. " Gwen said with a serious look on her face. "I did not have fun last night. I missed being in my bed."
Keegan nodded to her and went into the bathroom. She stripped off the rest of her clothes and turned the water on. Touching the stream from the showerhead, she tested the warmth of the water. She stepped into the stall. She put her head back and let the water cascade through her hair. She thought about Gwen and where she had spent last night. She probably was out with the upperclassman. It was strange how she never said the name. Keegan got an image of Gwen lying naked on a bed with some guy hovering over her. Although she had seen glimpses of Gwen's body, she had never seen her completely naked. She felt the warmth spread her loins. She desired Gwen. She wanted to touch her body. Feel how her skin would feel under her touch. The stream of cool water made her nipples hard. She began to caress her nipples as if she was touching Gwen's breasts. Running her fingers across each breast and playing with the harden orbs. She lowered her right hand over her belly and through the strip of public hair she had neatly trimmed. Her fingers touched her pussy. Hot liquids spill freely as she began to slide her fingers across her genitals. Gently at first, her thoughts were still of Gwen. Steadily increased her motion as she sunk her fingers into her vagina and her palm pressed against her clit. She pushed inward harder and faster. She closed her eyes and thought about Gwen. Probing the silkiness of her vulva, her fingers moved through the wetness she created. She gyrated against her own fingers as they plunged in and out. Her inner muscles constricted around her fingers as she had an orgasm. She muffled a cry against the washcloth. Tara words echoed in her head, "its not gonna happen." Keegan removed her hand from pussy. She leaned against the shower wall and began to cry. She was falling in love with Gwen.
Wrapping a towel around her body, she stepped back into the room to get her clothes. She could hear Gwen talking. As she lifted her head, she saw Allison James in the room. They had stopped talking when Keegan entered the room.
"Sorry." Keegan said as she gathered up clothes to change into. She stepped back into the bathroom. They started to speak again, but their voices were muffled. Although she had never been properly introduced to AJ, she knew who she was. After the incident at Déjà vu last night Keegan wondered if AJ would share what happen with Gwen. She dressed and fixed her hair. She walked back to the room. Gwen stood at the window looking out over the quad. Her back was turned. Keegan sat at her desk.
"Did you want to do something tonight?" Keegan asked as she slipped on a pair of sandals. "I've got to call my mom. Just to see what time she is picking me up tomorrow." Ashley and Megan were supposed to be coming with Sarah to check out the campus. Keegan was beginning to miss her little sisters.
"You're leaving tomorrow?" Gwen broke her silence.
"Yeah, I am not sticking around here for a week. Once we are in season, I don't know when I will get a chance to go home. Megan, Ashley and my mom are coming to get me. " Keegan saw the reaction on Gwen face. "That was AJ?" Keegan continued to confirm with her roommate.
"Yep, that's her." Gwen tone was full of bitterness.
"Look, I know you are friends with her but every time, I see you with her, you get upset." Keegan realized the truth in her statement when Gwen turned to face her. Tears had recently been shed.
"You are right." Gwen said as she sat on her bed. "We used to be tight. Lately, she has been someone I don't know." She leaned forward resting her elbows on her knees. "She really doesn't like you."
"Me. What did I ever do to her?"
"Who knows. Paranoia. She's been acting weird since Sunday in the elevator."
"Sunday, I was just happy to escape Tara." Keegan said.
"Yeah, what's up with that? You and Tara all buddy buddy." Gwen had a bit of uncertainly in her voice.
"We had a couple of beers last night. She thanked me for yelling at her." Keegan chuckled as if she could really intimidate the goalkeeper.
"She has seemed to straighten out."
"Too a point." Keegan chuckled as she stood up and grabbed her cell phone. "Are you going out with AJ?" Gwen's head snapped up and her eyes narrowed.
"What?" She blurted out.
"Did you make plans with AJ to do something tonight?" Keegan explained as she headed towards the door. "I asked before my shower if you wanted to do something tonight. If you made plans its okay."
"Keegan, I would rather do nothing and hang out with you than spend another minute with Allison James." She grabbed her towel and headed towards the bathroom. "So you are leaving me for an entire week. You're probably sick of me anyway."
"I am not sick of you. It will be weird not to see you on a daily basis. When are you going home?" Keegan asked just assuming that Gwen would go home.
"I'm not. I am staying here. I told Curtis I would help out if he needed me. I don't want to deal with my Mom's new fiancée or whatever he is."
"What about you're Grandpa?"
"Fishing in Canada with his friends. He goes every year."
"You can call me if you get lonely." Keegan said as she went out to the courtyard to call her mom.
Cellphone reception was stronger outside in the quad area. Keegan's Mom was not home. She spoke to Ashley for awhile. Ashley was going to be a freshman this year. The quad area was fairly busy as most of the students went about their business. Keegan noticed that AJ came walking out of her dorm hall. AJ had left the room at least forty minutes ago. Keegan finished up her conversation with Ashley. She had been on the phone for twenty minutes. She began to get a bad feeling. She looked at the second floor window of the room that she and Gwen shared. She headed back to her room. As she reached the stairs, she took two at a time.
The door was slightly ajar. Keegan slowly walked in the room. Gwen was in the bathroom holding a wash cloth to her face. She had dressed and her hair was down. She lowered the wash cloth and caught Keegan's reflection in the mirror. Keegan did not know what had transpired between the two girls from Troy. She met Gwen's eyes in the mirror. Keegan took a small step towards Gwen. She hesitated. She fought the urge to wrap her arms around Gwen and comfort her.
"Hey." Was the only word that slipped out of Keegan's mouth. Her heart was pounding. Her stomach dropped and her emotions were running across the board. She was scared about how she felt towards Gwen. She was angry that AJ upset Gwen again. Emptiness filled her because Gwen would never return her feelings.
Gwen turned to face Keegan. She started to breakdown in the explanation of what happen. Keegan closed the distance between them and wrapped Gwen in her arms. Gwen put her head on Keegan's shoulder.
"I just wish she would leave me alone." Gwen mumbled.
"Why did she come back?" Keegan asked.
"I don't know." Gwen explained, " I don't want...I've been trying for so long. It's just she has this." Keegan listened closely to what Gwen was rambling about. "She just can't let go." Keegan closed her eyes and stroked Gwen's back in comfort.
"Gwen," Keegan said softly in her hair. "You have to be strong. No one should control or try to control what you do." Keegan stepped back and tried to get Gwen to look at her. Gwen raised she soft doe colored eyes to meet Keegan's eyes. She looked scared and vulnerable. "You are strong. You are a good person. No one should treat you any other way." Gwen flashed a quick smile, but it faded fast.
"I am glad you came into my life." She said as she hugged Keegan close.
"So am I." Keegan fought the urge to place a kiss on Gwen lips. Gwen pressed her hips against Keegan's. A surge of heat ran through Keegan's loins.
Stepping back she held on to Gwen hand for a bit than let it drop. "Come on let's go for a walk." She needed air.
Walking out the main stairwell of the dorm, Gwen's mood completely changed. They ran down the steps trying to be the first one out the door. Keegan slightly tripped as the doors went flying open.
"Don't you dare get hurt!" Gwen scolded. "Curtis will kill me." Keegan pretended to trip and fell on the ground holding her leg.
"You're not funny Vanilla."
"Okay Blondie."
"What?"
"That's what Tara calls you." Keegan scrambled to her feet. She had to jog a bit to catch up with Gwen.
"Got a new friend? I am I being replaced?" Gwen teased. No one could replace you, Keegan thought.
"Tara was just scared. She really isn't bad."
They walked past the physical education building and took the well-worn path towards the tennis courts. Weston had done a good job a keeping the campus more like a park. Each building had an outside sitting area with grass and benches. Trees shaded the paths and sidewalks. So many campuses were all concrete with a tree here and there. Weston made the extra effort to keep as many trees as possible when they expanded or built a new addition.
"If you could pick a school or program of your choice to go to where would you go?" She stopped and hung on the fence that divided the tennis courts from the outside world.
"Interesting question. "Keegan said. The small brunette playing tennis returned the service. She caught her opponent off guard and scored the point. She did a double take as she saw Keegan leaning on the fence watching her. Keegan saw the explicit look she got from the brunette. She smiled than turned and leaned on the fence so her back was facing the tennis courts. "North Carolina would be the program but it is to far from my family. I would be home sick."
"I would not think of staying close because of my family. I would go with USC or UCLA."
"We are just different. What about your grandpa?" Keegan stole a look at the brunette. She caught Gwen watching her.
"I'd miss him, but California sun would make up for it."
"I could see at the beach and surfing." Keegan was pleased with the image of Gwen in a bikini that flashed in her mind.
"Surfing, I can hardly swim." Gwen released her hold on the fence. She gave the brunette a stern look and smiled at Keegan.
They walked around the tennis court complex and found themselves at the soccer field. Keegan walked up the stairs to the middle of the stands. She settled directly across from the fifty-yard line. She hadn't watched many games from the stands. She had always been playing on the field. She had to go scout a few teams with her coach but she usually stood at the field level. Gwen took a seat next to her on the aluminum bench.
"What are you thinking about?" Gwen asked as she stretched her legs out in front of her. "You're looking serious?" She rubbed the top of Keegan's head messing up her hair.
"Hey!" Keegan said as she pushed Gwen hand away. "Just about sitting the bench. I know that as a freshman I won't see much time. That will be hard for me to watch."
"There is no way that Curtis is going to sit you." Keegan shook her head and stretched her legs out in front of her. "I'd say that Rose is in goal."
"She's cool." Keegan commented.
"Yeah, she is. Shannon at wing. If AJ doesn't mind she will move to a wing. Carol and me up front. Keegan you are going to be the sweeper. AJ doesn't have your speed or ability. "
"Shannon Abbott? I forgot that she played. We played on an AAU team a couple of years ago. Rabbit came with Curtis to recruit me junior year." Keegan totally dismissed the idea of starting as the sweeper.
"You have no memory." Gwen teased her." And short legs." Keegan slapped her thigh.
"Ouch." Gwen said as she rubbed the area where Keegan hit her. "Abuse."
"Never." Gwen laughed as she got to her feet.
"Come on, I want to see if we can get to track field." She hurried down the stairs and towards the track field. Gwen followed behind her. Keegan ducked through the gate and took off for the large yellow high jump mat. She got two feet from the mat and launched herself onto the overstuffed pad. Landing in the middle of the yellow pillow, she rolled just in time as Gwen landed inches from her head.
"You almost landed on me." Keegan laughed. She tried to get to her feet but the soft cushion slipped under her feet. Gwen moved at the same time and they fell together. They landed facing each other inches apart. Keegan felt the same emotional urge to plant a deep kiss on Gwen. It would be so easy to do, but she backed away. "Let's do it again." Keegan got to her feet. Gwen grabbed her ankle and pulled her down to the mat. Keegan landed on her butt.
"That was not very nice." Keegan said as she tickled Gwen's side. They rolled and wrestled in cushion. Keegan found herself straddling Gwen with her hands pining Gwen's hands to the mat over her head. Keegan lean towards Gwen to as if to kiss her and stopped. She released Gwen's hands and rolled off of Gwen to lay on her back. She closed her eyes and hoped that Gwen could not hear the pounding of her heart. She felt Gwen move. As she opened her eyes, she saw Gwen lowering her lips to kiss her. Gwen's lips touched her soft and caring. It only lasted a few seconds. Gwen's hand touched her face lightly. Gwen suddenly pulled back.
"I'm sorry." She said as she began to get to her feet. Keegan put a hand on her arm and stopped her from moving away. Keegan moved closer and kissed Gwen fully on the mouth. This time the kissed lasted longer. They did not speak but their breathing became rapid. Their lips would part and come back together. Keegan opened her mouth and tongues touched with Gwen. Each time they broke apart and came back together their urgency and need became stronger. Keegan pushed Gwen away as they lay slightly out of breath and staring at each other. Keegan was taken back. She hadn't excepted Gwen to kiss her. She was in shock.
"I'm not sorry." Gwen corrected herself. "You look scared."
"I am." Keegan lay on her back and stared up at the reddish sky of the setting sun. She tried to decide what had transpired.
"Wow, maybe I am wrong." Gwen sat up pulling her knees to her chest. She held on to her legs. "I thought you were gay." Gwen looked at her toes.
"I am." Keegan answered. "I jut didn't think you were." Gwen started to laugh.
"I've been gay since the sixth grade. I wasn't sure what I would have called it back then, but I was but I was really into girls." Gwen face turned flush. "I remember seeing you at the regional finals junior year. I was attracted to you then. When Curtis said that you were coming to Weston, I couldn't believe it."
"Wait a minute." Keegan began to comprehend what Gwen was telling her. "So this whole time you liked me?" Keegan pushed Gwen back on the mat. "You were flirting with me." Gwen nodded. "Good." Keegan kissed her again.
"That brunette at the tennis court likes you." Gwen teased.
"The only person I am concern with is you." Keegan kissed Gwen's neck and nuzzled her shoulder. "I think we need to get back to our room."
Gwen got to the ground before Keegan could get off the mat. She heard Gwen yell, "Race!" They took off running back to the dorm. Keegan reached the dorm a few seconds after Gwen.
"You have much longer legs." Keegan voiced her annoyance with the blonde as they followed each other up the steps to the second floor. They open the door to the second floor, and walked towards their room.
As soon as Keegan opened the door, Gwen pulled her inside. Their lips met as soon as the door shut. Keegan felt her hunger and desire surged. She felt Gwen's tongue reaching for hers as their mouths opened. Her hands were in Gwen's hair pulling her closer. They stopped and stared at each other for a moment. Gwen wrapped her arms around Keegan and hugged her. Keegan felt the softness of Gwen's body pressed against her. Her stomach dropped as Gwen's breast rubbed against her arm. She had been fighting the attraction to Gwen since seeing her in the lobby. Keegan pulled her closer and buried her nose in Gwen's hair.
"It's okay." Gwen muttered in her ear. Neither of them released the hold they had on each other as they cuddled against one another. Keegan pulled back and faced Gwen. Their eyes locked.
"What do you want?" Keegan whispered in her ear as she took her hand.
"You" The answer was whispered back as Keegan felt Gwen's body lean into her more. Their hips were touching.
"I don't want to play games." Keegan felt the surge of desire through her loins. Her lips found Gwen's neck and she planted small kisses. Gwen's head went back giving Keegan better access to her throat.
"Kiss me." That was the only prompting Keegan needed as her mouth covered Gwen's without hesitation. The energy that Keegan felt through her body was overwhelming. She had never felt such elation. Sweetness exploded as Gwen's tongue touched hers. Keegan pulled her closer as her hands investigated Gwen's body caressing the smooth slopes and curves of Gwen's back. Her fingers skimmed and fondled lightly as she slowly explored Gwen's backside. Downwards, her hands glided across the small of her back and backside to the smooth slanting slope of her hips. Keegan had been staring at Gwen's body for the past week surveying every inch. Once they had become roommates, she watched as Gwen changed her clothes under the charade that she was reading a book. At times when Gwen came out of the shower, Keegan had to portrayed she was disinterested in Gwen's impressive body. Keegan ran her fingers over a small mole on Gwen's shoulder. She had wanted to touch it for days. She heard herself cry out as Gwen's hand stroked her breast. Keegan moaned louder as she moved her hand against Gwen's sex rubbing the mound through her shorts.
"Touch me." Gwen's voice crackled with desire as Keegan put her hand down the front of Gwen's shorts and over the waistband of her panties. Still kissing, Gwen guided Keegan's hand to the top of her mound. Lightly, Keegan grazed the public hair that covers her woman hood. Slowly Keegan cupped her hand over the soft curls. As she pressed lightly on the softness her fingers curved gently but intimately probed the smooth silkiness of her sex. Her fingers slid easily through the valley. Gwen moaned as Keegan's fingers rubbed over her clit. Keegan had never felt anything so sensuous. Her pleasure of touching Gwen was evident as Gwen hand went to her waistband. She moved with her finger's following a rhythm that they fell into.
Keegan looked at Gwen, her eyes were closed and her mouth in a tight painless pleasure. They had managed to be pushed up on the wall of the room. Keegan did not want to quit touching her, but she stopped abruptly as Gwen's finger reached the place that sent her over the edge. Suppressing a scream of climax in Gwen's shoulder. Keegan heard herself cry out as her arms wrapped around Gwen's neck. She opened her eyes and found Gwen's soft brown eyes staring at her. She had never seen her look like that before. She kissed her fully on the mouth. The kiss was soft and sweet.
The hastiness of the first encounter sent them in a wave of built up passion. Keegan took her by the hand and led her to the nearest bed. She took off her own shirt and slipped her shorts off. Gwen watched her eyes never leaving Keegan's body as she slipped off her own clothes.
"You're beautiful." Gwen said as she reached to touch Keegan's breast with her hand. She placed her lips where her hand was. She pushed Keegan gently down on the bed. Gwen delicately kissed each of Keegan's breasts. They were a little smaller than Gwen's but they were firm and peaked as Gwen's mouth covered each one. Her hand slipped between Keegan's legs. Gwen's fingers touched her lightly at first. Her finger ran the length of her slit and back. The wetness was seeping from her body. Keegan moaned out loud as Gwen rubbed against her harder. Gwen's speed increased as she dipped a finger into Keegan's body. Keegan's leg's wrapped around Gwen's waist as she tried to pull Gwen closer to her. Gwen slipped another finger into her vagina and pressed her thumb against her clitoris.
"Oh God!" Keegan screamed out as she threw her head back. Gwen sucked at her neck. Keegan pulled at her long flaxen hair releasing it from the restrain. She ran her fingers through the mass. Her hands grabbed at Gwen's round bottom urging her on. She was going to come. Keegan pulled Gwen towards her as her body jerked once as she shuttering as euphoria spill through her body.
The blonde leaned on an elbow and kissed Keegan on the lips.
"I wanted to feel your body against mine all week." Gwen confessed. Keegan switched positions as Gwen lay under her now.
"I have been fighting the urge to do this." Keegan made small circles with her tongue on Gwen's breast. Suckling at one as if she was an infant. The nipple hardened in her mouth. Her knee spread Gwen's thighs. She could feel the nectar spilling freely. She kissed her ribs and her belly. Gwen's pussy was shaved with a single strip of hair covering. Keegan's fingers probed the damp valley. She continued the kissing assault on Gwen's body. Finding another small mole on her hip. Lowering herself on the bed, Keegan placed her mouth on Gwen's mound. Spreading her legs wider, she used her shoulders to leverage position. Her hands pressed down on Gwen's hips urging the pleasure as of her tongue as deeper contact was made with her vulva. Gwen squirmed and cried out Keegan's name.
Keegan spread the valley with her tongue. The taste was a little bitter and salty, but she lapped the juices from each crevice. Probing in the cavity with her tongue, she felt Gwen muscles began to spasm. She continued to attack the spot, which made her squirm. Gwen started to lurch off the bed. She pulled Keegan up and begged her to stop. Keegan straddled her and continued the assault with her fingers. Their bodies moved in motion as they rode the wave of pleasure. Keegan felt Gwen shudder against her hand. She experienced another orgasm.
"I'm dreaming." Gwen said out loud. She lay next to Keegan with her arms wrapped around her. She ran her finger over the scar on Keegan's temple. "Wow" She stopped. "Are you okay?"
"We should have done that Tuesday night." Keegan laughed.
"Sunday night would have been better. God, you were so cute." Gwen confessed. "My grandfather even thought so. What did you have on. A yellow tank with a pair of jean shorts. That color looks really good on you. God, you kept staring at me."
"My Dad was trying to hook me up with you. You kept saying hello." Keegan touched her forearm with her finger slowly. "I could have died in the elevator."
"Keegan" Gwen turned towards Keegan and held her tighter in her arms. Keegan waited for Gwen to finish her sentence. "AJ is the.. she's .... She's the upperclassman, I have been seeing off and on for two years."
The realization hit Keegan. Gwen and AJ were dating and they were still together. This entire week she had witness a lover's quarrel between them. Gwen had said that she was dating an upper classman. Last night she did not come back to the dorm. She had spent the night with AJ. The same night that AJ was hitting on her at Déjà vu.
"Jesus." Keegan jumped out of bed. She stood naked in the middle of the room. How could she go from such a high to such an emotional low in a matter of minutes. "So what is this? Is this a game that you and AJ are playing? See which one of you can get me in the sack first?"
"No..No" Gwen sat on the edge of the bed. "I know what I am feeling. The other night when we sat right here. I told you I was seeing someone."
"So now what?" Keegan sat on the other bed. "We go back to being friends. God, I do not need this." Keegan put her hand to her head. She felt the scar on her head. A few minutes ago Gwen was touching her in that exact place.
"Keegan, it's not like that." Gwen got down on her knees in front of Keegan. "I am attracted to you. God, can you not tell that fact." She put her hands on Keegan hips and pulled her towards her. Keegan felt the surge of desire. Her heart started to pound against her chest.
"I don't know. I need to think." Keegan could not believe what had just happened. Gwen was still on her knees in front of her. "Are you and AJ still seeing each other?" Gwen slowly nodded. "Do you want to see both of us?" Keegan thought about the dynamics on the team.
"Keegan, you don't know AJ. I have been trying to end this relationship. She is very...."
Keegan started to put her clothes on. "I am not getting involved in a relationship triangle." She looked at Gwen and could see the hurt in her eyes. "I am not going to expose myself to getting burned or hurt. Do you know where this puts me? " She glanced over at the clock. They would need to be up in a couple of hours.
"It's not like that. AJ has had other girlfriends."
"Have you?" Keegan asked. Gwen shook her head. "AJ puts you to the side and goes out with other people but you have never done that to her. She probably already thinks that there is something going on between us."
"She doesn't need to know that things have changed." Gwen said as she gathered her clothes.
"I don't work that way. I know what it's like to be waiting for someone. Sandy used to pull this crap on me all the time. I am not going to get in the middle of this."
Gwen nodded and curled up on her bed facing the wall. Keegan could tell that Gwen was crying by the way that her shoulder's heaved.
Sleep would not be easy to come by as Keegan eased herself on to the bed she and Gwen had just been in. Inside she was dying, torn between the steps she had just taken and the tumble she had received. She felt the tears stinging at the corner of her eyes. She wished at this moment that she had never met Gwen Lerner. She wrapped her arm around her pillow and tried to go to sleep.
