Chapter 20: What It Was
After we all ate our fill, Lesha cleaned up and I took Mei upstairs to the top floor where Pike and Mort had shared a room. The two had sworn when they left that they would have their own rooms, I wondered how that had worked out for them? We were almost to the top of the last flight of stairs when Mei spoke up.
"What do you guys do? Like, when you're alone together? You don't have, you know like, boys…" Mei's voice trailed off, but she looked hopefully up at me.
How was I supposed to know? I just kissed a girl and now I was about to go find out that answer, but I didn't want to tell her that. The boy's room was directly above mine, but she was probably tired, and I hoped she would fall asleep fast. This girl was far too interesting for my taste, but she was also a confused girl, even if she was older than me.
"I don't know yet, this is all still pretty new to me. If I figure it out, I will let you know, I will go and get you a shirt so you can change out of those robes and get into something a little more comfortable. I noticed that her chest was red, that robe must be hard on your skin, and your breasts. Why aren't you wearing any clothes under them?"
"I was taking a bath in the river and someone stole them, and I had to sneak around with leaves, and mud on, and then I stole this from a clothesline outside of the city. Maybe I should go return this now that you are giving me a shirt I can just wear that! Yeah, my points hurt a lot, and my skin on my boobs and arms are really itchy!" Mei complained, walking into the room and stripping out of her clothes again, completely this time.
I wanted to look away from the little exhibitionist, but then I saw she was covered with red marks and dry skin. This wasn't just from the robe, her skin was cracked and burnt from the sun. I told her I would be right back, and ran down the stairs, tears streaming down my face. What had happened to this poor girl?
I ran down to the second floor and went to my father's room, grabbing a shirt and then running over to my room. The door was closed and I opened it up and walked right into Lesha, and I mumbled sorry, trying to move past her, but not looking at her. Lesha grabbed me, and held me, forcing me to look at her.
"What is wrong, K? You're a mess, what happened up there?" Lesha asked with concern.
I took a deep breath while trying to wipe the tears that were coming worse now that I was facing Lesha. I don't know why it bothered me so much, but I felt like I had done something wrong, and I had no clue why. All I knew was this poor girl has had a very rough life, and I wanted to do something, anything, to make her feel better.
"Just come and help me put lotion on Mei, okay?" I said trying to hold myself together.
Lesha let me go and nodded but wiped my face before I could move past her. I was thankful that she didn't ask me anything, I really didn't think I could handle answering her. I went into a drawer and pulled out the three bottles of lotion Leana had given me over the last little while.
The two of us went back upstairs and I was a bit slower than Lesha, letting her take the lead, as I tried to get control of my emotions. This girl was so full of energy, and happiness that it would be mean of me to act like this around her, it would just make her feel awkward. Lesha entered the room where Mei was still standing naked.
"Dear, you do have some bad skin! Don't worry, we will get some lotion on you and then this shirt, and you can have a nice long sleep, Okay?" Lesha said in her calm and soft voice that soothed my tension and allowed me to go into the room and help.
After some painful massaging and a little bit of crying, we got Mei into my father's shirt that almost touched the floor, and then into bed. I noticed that her hair looked to be more knots than hair and I almost scolded her, but I sucked to comment back in before it could leave my lips. I had no idea what this girl had been through, but she was here with us now, and safe.
Lesha tucked her in and then was about to take the candle from the room when Mei spoke up.
"Can you leave it? I don't really like the dark, and if I don't have to I would like the light if that's okay?"
Lesha smiled and put the candle over on the bed stand. And the two of us left the room and said goodnight. I made a joking comment about not burning the house down, and Mei shouted out of bed, with a scared look on her face.
"I won't! I promise! Please, I won't do anything bad! I will be a good girl, just don't make me leave!" Mei cried out with her hands clasped together.
Both of us reassure her that she was more than welcome to stay and that we wouldn't be kicking her out. Still, we both left the room with heavy hearts. I could see it in Lesha's eyes, she had heard that tone, of a scared little girl.
We went to the bottom floor to make sure that we were out of ear range, and the wine was in the kitchen. Lesha went and sat at the table, running her hands over her face and back through her hair. I pulled the cork from the wine and brought two wooden cups, that was all we had and sat down beside Lesha.
I poured us two drinks, but then I put my head on her shoulder and let out a long sigh. This was not what we had planned and now, the likelihood of that happening was low. Still, we had the wine and there was no reason to let it go to waste. I picked up a cup and passed it to Lesha and then took my own.
We clinked the cup and both drained them with satisfying sounds. I poured another one for each of us, but this time, we only drank half and then held the cups in our hands, both of us staring at them. I felt like there was something in the air, or maybe it was the quick drinks, but I turned to see Lesha looking into my eyes.
The moment our eyes connected, I could see that spark and we fell into each other's arms. I kissed her passionately, and I could feel her hands moving in my hair, pulling me closer. I tried to stand while still kissing her, but we both had to stop and laugh. Both of us downed our drinks and snuck up to our bedroom.
Once inside, I closed the door and froze in the realization of what was going on. Wait, we were really going to do it? And now, Lesha was taking off her clothes, and looking at me, but I didn't know what it was!
