"Hey!" Sadie greeted with a smile as she shifted allowing Peyton to enter her apartment.

"Hey there lover." Peyton winked at her as she stepped in.

Sadie blushed uncontrollably, "Peyton!"

Peyton simply shook her head with a smile as she dropped her backpack next to the couch.

"I thought you were going to spend the weekend?" Sadie asked with a frown.

"I am."

"So then where's the rest of your stuff?"

"I have all that I need in that bag."

"Peyton, everything cannot fit in there. Are you messing with me?"

Peyton gave Sadie her signature headshake. "I'm serious. I have everything I need. My books to do my studies, my uniform for Monday and a shirt for tomorrow." She pointed at the cargo pants she was wearing, "I'm wearing this pants tomorrow. I think your mom would love my shirt." Peyton smiled a playful smile. "You... I'm not so sure about..."

This perked Sadie's curiosity and she walked closer to Peyton, "what is it?"

"I'm not telling." Peyton grinned.

"Fine! But what about clothes for the rest of the weekend?"

"Well I'm actually a nudist. Just try to be careful. I'm sensitive in some parts." Peyton said with a serious face.

Sadie turned completely red and stuttered incoherently for several seconds before Peyton spoke again, "don't worry I'll throw on something when your dad is here."

"Peyton..." Sadie said weakly before she began to stutter again.

She sat on the couch and put her head in her hands trying to think of an appropriate response to this. She did not want to hurt Peyton's feelings by telling her she didn't want her prancing about naked because in all honesty she won't mind seeing that but she didn't think she could bear to see Peyton naked all weekend. It would drive her crazy. It would drive her to want to, and possible actually do, things she should not.

She looked up suddenly to see Peyton literally rolling on the floor as she held her stomach and laughed. "I'm screwing with you Sadie!" She laughed some more. "I would never do that! One, I would be uncomfortable and two, it would be unfair."

Sadie screamed and she threw a cushion at Peyton, "meanie!"

"You're so naive Sadie..."

As she watched Peyton writhing with laughter a thought occurred to her, "how would it be unfair?"

"Because you would be clothed. What's the fun in one naked person and one clothed person? Where's the fairness in that?"

Sadie threw another cushion at Peyton which she caught this time. Peyton placed the two cushions next to each other and put her head on one. "Come, lay down with me."

Sadie followed Peyton's order and lay down next to the extremely frustrating girl as she spoke, "why did I ever tell to continue teasing me?"

Peyton turned on her side facing Sadie who followed her action. Looking Sadie in the eye she said, just above a whisper, "because you love it."

Sadie looked at her and smiled, "I think I do."

They remained like that until Sadie broke the silence, "so what's your real plan?"

Peyton blushed, "it's kinda dumb and I hope you don't think it's too weird or anything because if you do it's fine I can go back home and get some clothes. It's only like a five minute drive. I'll..."

Sadie cut her off by placing her finger on Peyton's rapidly moving lips. "Shhh." Sadie smiled, "just tell me. I am sure you are overthinking it."

She removed her finger and Peyton continued in a calmer tone, "I was thinking it's time to see how I look in your clothes..." She scrunched up her face as she looked at Sadie for a response.

Sadie just smiled brightly at her, "I swear you are so adorable sometimes. You sure you want to wear my clothes though? They're a bit different to yours."

"I know... but you have some neutral numbers in there. Just don't give me any strappy stuff."

Sadie chuckled, "strappy stuff?"

Peyton nodded, "you know... thin straps, halters or any of those things that have to tie up in the back or something."

Sadie laughed, "okay. I'll see what I can do since you think I dress like a stripper and all."

"I don't think that! It's just you have a lot of really girly girly stuff and I'd look like a baboon in that."

"I'm teasing you Peyton!" Sadie smiled broadly; glad that she could finally get back at Peyton. "And you would look awesome in some strappy stuff. Maybe a strappy dress?"

"Oh hell no!"

Sadie laughed, "I'm kidding Peyton!"

Peyton pouted, "you hurt my feelings. Now you have to rub them."

"Oh no. I am not getting caught in that again."

They both laughed and turned on their backs as they enjoyed the simple company of the other.

"Hey Sadie?"

"Yes?"

"You feeling like cooking tonight?"

"Yes. And I plan to. Why?"

"Do you know how to make pancakes?"

"Yes. Why? You hungry?"

"I don't think I'm hungry... but I am feeling to eat pancakes..."

Sadie turned her head and studied Peyton who still stared at the ceiling, oblivious to the fact that she was looking at her. Peyton was perfect in her eyes. She has grown to love just about everything about the girl. Sure she got her frustrated at times but it was usually because Peyton was just toying with her and she had to admit that she loved it.

"I'll make you anything you want." She watched as Peyton smiled and it made her heartbeat increase. She sat up then, "you ready now?"

Peyton looked at her and nodded.

They both got up and Sadie questioned, "do you want to take a shower or have you showered already?"

Peyton feigned shock, "can you not tell whether I am clean or not?"

Sadie crossed her arms on her chest, "how am I supposed to tell that Peyton?"

"Well, you're always sniffing me..."

"I do not sniff you!"

Peyton laughed, "okay okay. But seriously now," she stepped closer to Sadie and lifted one arm, "you wanna take a smell?"

Sadie pushed her away and cried, "Peyton! You meanie!"

Peyton laughed, "can't you find a more endearing name for me?"

Sadie blushed and ignored her question as she just stood there looking back at her.

"Fine... yeah, I need to shower. Kimmy was invited to Kirk's Cousin's wedding tonight so she commandeered the shower and I was not going to wait on her."

"What about her parent's bathroom or the one downstairs?"

Peyton shook her head, "I could have but honestly, I just couldn't wait to get here."

Sadie shook her head, "it does not have hot water here you know? And the bathroom is really tiny. You could have waited a few more minutes and showered comfortably."

Peyton shook her head slightly, "I don't discriminate. This is where you live and I have no problem with that."

"You never fail to amaze me Peyton."

Peyton shrugged, "I believe it is something anybody would do."

"Trust me Peyton, it's not. Most people would have asked me to spend the weekend in their big, comfortable home. They would not want to stay here because we both know this is a dump."

"Sadie, it does not matter to me if we have a king sized bed or two cushions on the floor or if we have a steak each or share one sandwich the only thing that matters to me is the pronoun."

Sadie creased her eyebrows and Peyton explained, "as long as it is 'we'. I don't care where we are and what we have. All that matters is that whatever it may be, I have you to share it with."

Sadie's eyes welled up as she looked at Peyton in disbelief, "I did nothing to deserve you."

"Yes you did."

"What?"

"You're you." Peyton smiled and hugged Sadie, "I would have you no other way."

Returning the hug, a tear ran free as she replied, "and I would have you no other way either."

Sadie smiled as she went to her cupboard and pulled out a short pants and t-shirt and handed it to Peyton. "Let me know if that is too girly for you."

"Music?" Peyton asked as she pulled onto the highway.

Sadie shook her head then realised Peyton could not see her, "no. I'd rather just talk."

Peyton smiled to herself. "Fine by me." She glanced at Sadie quickly as she said, "I love talking with you."

"As do I."

"So... what do you wanna talk about?"

Sadie thought for a moment, "tell me what your t-shirt says."

"Nope."

"Awww... come on Peyton. Please?" Sadie begged and Peyton just shook her head.

Peyton had brought a t-shirt with a print on it but she put a shirt over it and buttoned it so only the first two words were visible - "Nobody Knows"

"You'll see it when your mom does."

Sadie opened her mouth and Peyton cut her off, "meanie. I know." She chuckled. "Next topic."

"Umm..." Sadie seemed to be thinking hard then suddenly she blurted, "I know! Tell me something about you that nobody else knows."

"That's really cliché Sadie."

"I know... but still... answer it please?"

Peyton sighed, "okay... fine. But you have to do the same." She warned.

Sadie nodded, "I promise."

Peyton thought for a while before she uncomfortably said, "I've never... played with myself..."

Sadie was honestly in shock, "seriously?!"

"Seriously."

"Not even for me?"

Peyton bit her lip, "trust me, I was tempted but no."

"Why?"

"Uh uh. I told you something nobody knows. It's your turn."

"But you've got me curious and I wanna know why..."

Peyton grinned, "I'll tell you but after you say something about you and then you're gonna have to say something else too because that counts as you asking two questions."

Sadie gave in quickly, "okay. When I was eight mom bought me a tub of playdough and it went missing. I told her that and she bought me a new one. I used that new one to make all sorts of lovely stuff and the one that went missing? Well, let me just tell you, playdough tastes really good. Almost salty."

Peyton laughed, "oh my god you actually ate playdough? I mean, not just taste, you schemed your mom so she wouldn't realise the playdough was getting less and less? Damn girl..."

"I ate that entire tub..." Sadie smiled in remembrance. "So, back to you, why have you never masturbated?"

"I want to experience my first orgasm at the hands of someone who loves me. I mean, I have touched myself a couple times but I never really did anything. I always stop after a few seconds because well, it's just a fantasy of mine... I want my first time to be my first time in every sense."

Sadie looked at her for a few seconds before responding. "Wow... that is amazing... I admire you Peyton." Sadie shook her head smiling, "things are never dull with you."

"Your turn." Peyton smiled as she stole a glance at Sadie.

Sadie thought for a minute, "I honestly can't think of anything else..."

"I don't believe that."

"Okay... there is something but it involved other people. I never told anyone about it and the people who knew, I never told them the truth. Does that count?"

"Yeah. Why not?"

It was silent for a long time and when Peyton looked over at Sadie she was a nervous wreck. "Hey, you don't have to tell me. Let's talk about something else."

Sadie shook her head, "I already brought it to the surface. It's only going to haunt me even more now. Plus... I kind of want to tell you..."

"Okay. Take your time. And just know that I won't judge you."

Sadie nodded as she leaned her head against the window and stared outside, "I... I killed someone..."
