"For the sake of my sanity, I think I'll pass and hope for the best," she said as he shook her head and waved her arms. "Totally fine without knowing."
Colby rolled her eyes with a smile at Erica's recanting of her own evening. "Are there pictures of this? Now I'm almost sorry I missed Sam's party. I went to a party back home and - you've gotta promise not to tell Damien, but you remember his friend Mikey that I should you a picture of?"
"Mikey? Do I remember Mikey?" Erica replied dramatically, grinning at Colby before beginning to mock fan herself. "Who wouldn't remember Mikey?" she questioned, scooting around on the bed a bit, facing Colby more fully.
"What's the big secret then? Don't tell me you blew him or something?" she asked somewhat more seriously, though she was still grinning. She said it as if it were the most natural assumption in the world.
Colby rolled her eyes again, grinning and blushing. "Shut up! No I didn't blow him, but..." She bit her lip, trying not to giggle out of nervousness. "We had sex," she said in a stage whisper.
Erica made a mock gasp, lifting a hand to cover her mouth as she stared wide-eyed at Colby. "My little girl!" she managed, freeing her hand long enough to wave it in Colby's direction. "You're all grown up!"
It didn't take long at all for Erica's expression to go serious, scooting up on the bed as she spoke. "How was he? Was he huge?"
She couldn't help the blush at Erica's teasing. "Shut up!" She scrunched up her nose at Erica, sticking out her tongue at her friend.
Colby played with a lock of her own hair, twisting it around her finger. "I dunno, it was my first time! I mean... I think he was pretty good. It was kinda weird 'cause I've known him for so long and all..." She blushed again at the mention of size. "I-- he was decently sized I guess? I don't know what's average or small or anything..."
"Oh yeah," Erica replied, laughing a little. "I forgot you were-- you know. My bad, but I guess as long as he was good? Or good enough?" she added, giving her a reassuring sort of smile. She tried to relax more on the bed, no longer leaning forward on her haunches to make sure she heard every sordid detail. She had a feeling this was going to be one of those mushy sex stories instead.
"Did he at least hang around when you were done?" she offered, raising an eyebrow. "I think that says a lot about a dude."
"Well not anymore," she quipped, grinning a little. Colby shifted on her bed, sitting cross-legged instead as she faced her friend. "I guess he was- thoughtful?- about it? I mean, he made sure I was okay and everything, so it made up for any of the awkwardness."
She nodded thoughtfully. "He stayed, yeah. But even that was weird, cause he was worried Day would come barging in and find out and I was laying there naked-cuddling with a guy I've known for forever." She gave a little shrug and a half smile.
