Monday

The bed was much more comfy than the floor and by afternoon she was waking up to him whispering to her. "Good morning love" she whispered back. She kissed him and realized her one wrist was tied to his, her back was sore, and her ved was quite messy. Though things were wild....they werent too rough but she figured her back was sore from the floor and well....extra exercise. She looked at the clock and realuzed what time it was. "Crap! We are so late! Art is in an hour and we have the project to present!" She jumped up and started throwing on clothes. An old tshirt, bra, her thong, jeans, and she pulled her hair up in a messy ponytail. She grabbed her gym bag and book bag. "You might want to go get clothes from home. I will meet you at school with the project and coffees"

She had the painting with the coat of sealant. She had managed to apply some make up, and brush her teeth before he pulled in beside her. She got out of the car and looked at him like "well how shall we do this?" and with her arms quite full, handed him the coffees and a bag with danishes since they missed hadnt eaten since the 4am ice cream snack. she managed to carry the painting, her bags, and linked her arm to his thinking if they were walking the walk into school late and looking questionable, they might as well walk together.

She whispered back with a chuckle. "Hmm and put on my thong by accident." they recieved looks but none from anyone who they knew well. Until they got to class. Britneys eyes immediately widened as they walked in and then smirked."well well....look who finally graced us with their presense." Mariah just kept her back to her and luckily the teacher started class immediately because of all the presentations. First up was Penny and Britney who ended up working together but the guy paired up with Britney asked to transfer. They did a sketch of them as Thelma and Louise. Britney pranced away like she was the best of course. Others who presented were another couple doing Bonnie and Clyde. Three girls did Charlies Angels and three guys did three musketeers. Finally Mariah and Luam had to take their turn. They unveiled their painting and most oohed and ahhed but of course Britney made remarks about how it the two of them really must have made it real....what other photos were taken....and things like that. Mariah talked about the camera idea, Liam sketching, her painting, and the research from the movie.

The class erupted with laughter and the teacher was about to dismiss Liam from the room when the bell rang. The teacher did tell them after the others left the room that the project was wonderful.

School was ending and as they stepped out on the hall Mariah was pulled away by Melanie into a corner. "Where were you? So what happened? Tell me everything." Mariah just told her nothing happened and walked to her locker. Of course her friend knew something happened. Mariah had a glow about her. She quickly grabbed her gym bag and headed to the locker room to change for practice. It was as she was changing that Melanie realized something must have happened since Mariah never wore thongs and she was wearing one now. Mariah tried not to smile but still tried to not admit to it yet. Then Melanie noticed the mark on her wrist and the hickie like mark on Mariahs cleavage. "Oh my gosh you did....you did!" Mariah finally gave a nod and whispered. "Yes now shhh i will talk to you later."

Of course Melanie was giddy during practice with keeping her friends secret. Britney seemed extra bitchy during most of practice until the meeting. "So the big harvest party is Friday night and homecoming the following night. Us cheerleaders need to step up since we are in charge of the event planning. We also have the car wash this Thursday. You girls better have sexy bikinis....we need money money money!" Melanie spoke up then. "Ya know Britney....youre not even the captain and yet you just think you are in charge of all of us." Britney rolled her eyes and looked to Mariah. "Well seems our captain has been keeping a little busy so I just stepped up."

Mariah stood up then and just smiled to Britney. "Never as "busy" as you. Now who actually wants to listen to your captain?" all but Britney raised their hands and this certainly returned Britneys bitchiness. Mariah took over their meeting and they all agreed on decor for the party, and a little more proper attire for the car wash meaning the girls could wear what was comfortable.

After practice Britney gave Mariah dirty looks and already was thinking up things she would say to Mariah later.

Mariah watched for Liam and saw he was taking care of equipment. She had a mischievious thought and while he returned to the field for more equipment she quickly hid inside the storage room when no one was looking. She hid behind the rack of soccer balls.

She waited until his back was turned and put her hands around his eyes. "Guess who?" she whispered and kissed his neck.

She giggled and wrapped her arms around him. "Maybe...." she kissed him softly. "Sorry we had to run out so fast this morning. This day has been a blur. I havent even been able to kiss you and tell you how amazing last night and this morning was." she kissed him again.
