Chapter 28 - Ch28 Conflict and Resolution

Nancy woke up in the morning at 5:00 am. Feeling a heat radiating from under her, she moved closer. Wrapping her arms around the thing radiating heat, she got more comfortable. Opening her eyes slowly, she was a little disoriented because of the hangover she was currently experiencing. Feeling dizzy, she kept her head on the object radiating heat.

Nancy looked at the wall and got a little startled, but she calmed down a little when she heard the steady heartbeat. Realizing something, she turned her head and looked at the thing she was laying on. She was surprised to see John under her, but suddenly some memories of her leaving Steve's house in a hurry came to the front of her mind.

Nancy faintly remembered her drunken self, running out of the house and walking down the road for a long time in the cold dark night. She remembered finally being right in front of her house when she instead walked up to John's front door and rang the doorbell. Nancy remembered embarrassing herself in front of John.

Nancy blushed heavily as she remembered her behavior the night before but looking at how she was in bed with John, something must have gone right. Nancy observed the sleeping John and felt his warmth. However, remembering that she was supposed to be back home last night, she tried to get out of bed sneakily.

As she was climbing off of John, she felt a sudden jolt of pain and fell onto his chest. Nancy looked up at John and saw that he was looking at her. Nancy blushed as she looked into John's hazel eyes. John sat up as his arms wrapped around Nancy and he kissed her lips tenderly. Nancy was a little stunned but soon melted in John's embrace.

John backed away, looking at Nancy's dazed face. John said humorously, "Trying to sneak away, Grace?"

Nancy broke out of her daze and blushed as she remembered their activities last night. Nancy said softly, "I have to get home, John." Nancy tried to get up once again but felt a jolt of pain once again.

Nancy groaned softly, John seeing her condition was a little concerned. John asked, "Are you alright?"

Nancy said, "It hurts when I move. But I have to get home, my mom will definitely get angrier the longer I stay out." John nodded and got out of bed after moving Nancy off of him gently. John walked over to his closet; Nancy watched him walk off. Nancy admired his broad shoulder and muscular back. He looked like a mountain of lean muscles.

She watched John rummage through the closet for a couple minutes before he walked back over to her. John arrived in front of her quickly, but Nancy didn't notice as her gaze was focus on John's dangling member. John pinched Nancy's noise gently, causing her to look up at him with a pout. She saw John smiling down at her with a smile and blushed a little as she took the clothes from John's hand.

Nancy asked, "Whose clothes are these?"

John said, "Their April's. She has a couple outfits here for when she sleeps over."

Nancy nodded before she asked sadly, "This was a onetime thing. Wasn't it?" She looked up at John as some tear threatened to fall from her eyes.

John crouched down and held Nancy's hands. John asked, "What do you want?"

Nancy said, "I want to be with you."

John said, "That's how it will be then."

Nancy asked, "What about April?"

John answered, "She agreed to let us be together. As long as I was still with her."

Nancy had a confused expression but soon stopped as she leaned forward and kissed John sensually. John kissed her back with passion and then he backed away and said, "I'll go get you some medicine while you get dressed." Nancy nodded as she watched John walk over to his closet. Nancy put on the red bra and panties, then the gray V-neck shirt and jean booty shorts.

Just as Nancy finished dressing John came into the room fully clothed holding a glass of water in his hand and some pain reliever pills. John walked over and handed the glass and pills to Nancy. Nancy thanked John then she swallowed the pills with a sip of water. John asked, "Do you want breakfast before you go?"

Nancy paused for a second before she shook her head and said, "I should get back home." Nancy stood up weakly and walked out of the room with John's support. They walked down the stairs and to the front door. Nancy realized she doesn't have any shoes, just as she was going to ask John for some, he handed her a pair of light gray shoes. Nancy put them on quickly before she kissed John passionately.

John pinned Nancy to the wall as he kissed her vigorously. Just as things were getting heated, John backed away. Nancy step past John and said, "Okay, John. I'll see you later." The she walked through the front door and down the driveway. It was still very dark outside as the sun had yet to rise. Nancy walked on the sidewalk back to her house and walked to the front door.

Nancy pulled out her keys from her short pocket and fumbled around for a couple seconds before she successfully put the key in the lock. Nancy turned the key and then pushed the door open slowly. Nancy walked inside slowly and then shut the door behind her. Nancy locked the door with a click and was about to head up the stairs to her room when the lights turned on.

Karen walked out of the dark quickly. Nancy said, "Oh, Jesus, you scared me."

Karen said, "Oh, I scared you."

Nancy said, "I know, I should have called."

Karen asked loudly, "Where have you been?" Then she realized it was very late and said softly, "We agreed on 10:00 pm."

Nancy took a deep breath and then said, "I... After the assembly people wanted to get something to eat."

Karen said, "You didn't think to call? Moreover, it is 4:00 am. Where were you for the rest of the time. With everything that's been going on I thought you would take my words more seriously."

Nancy said, "I didn't realize how late it was, okay? I'm sorry, Mom." Nancy started up the stairs but Karen stopped her.

Karen said, "Hey, wait... Whose clothes are these?"

Nancy said, "April's."

Karen asked, "April's? Isn't that John's girlfriend?"

Nancy nodded and said, "Yeah."

Karen asked, "What happened to your own clothes, Nancy?"

Nancy said, "The waiter tripped and soaked me with a pitcher of water."

Karen felt that Nancy was holding something back from her, so she stopped her once more. She said, "Nancy?"

Nancy turned around and asked gruffly, "What?"

Karen said, "You can talk to me. Please, talk to me. Whatever happened."

Nancy said, "Nothing happened."

Karen asked, "Then why are you limping?"

Nancy started, "I hurt my..."

Karen started to tear up, she said, "Please, talk to me, Sweetheart. Please." Nancy looked down at her mother and nodded slowly.

Nancy said, "Okay, follow me to my room." Karen nodded and began to follow her daughter up the stairs. Karen noticed that with each step, Nancy would jolt slightly. Karen knew that something had happened or so she guessed because of this observation.

They arrived in Nancy's room and sat on the bed together. Karen asked, "So, what happened?"

Nancy sighed, then said, "I didn't go to the assembly earlier."

Karen nodded and said, "I guessed as much, although I do have to commend you for your excuse."

Nancy laughed nervously before she said, "I actually went to a party at Steve's house." Karen nodded to show she was listening.

Nancy continued, "We were just having fun and then I drank a few beers." Nancy closed her eyes in fear, but when nothing happened, she opened them and saw Karen's concerned expression.

Karen asked, "Did Steve do something to you while you were passed out?"

Nancy said, "No, I went with him to his room, but then I realized I couldn't sleep with him because I love John." Karen nodded with a wry smile.

Karen said, "Continue."

Nancy said, "So, I ran out of the house as I was and ran out of the front door, then I continued all the way down the street. By then I was tired, so I started to walk back home."

Karen asked, "So, why didn't you arrive until now?"

Nancy said, "As I was walking past John's house, in my drunken state. I decided to walk up to John front door and ring his doorbell."

Karen asked, "Then what happened?"

Nancy said, "John opened the door barely a minute later and I confronted him. I accused him of not caring about me."

Karen asked while leaning forward, "Then?"

Nancy said, "John hugged me and said he loved me. Then he brought me to the bathroom and help me take a shower. Or more like, I forced him to join me in the shower. Things got serious and John picked me up before he walked out of the bathroom, and we went up to his room. Then we had sex for a couple hours before I fell asleep on John's chest. Then I woke up and John helped me get ready before I came home."

Karen hugged Nancy tightly before she said, "I'm so happy that you decided to talk with me."

Nancy hugged her mother back and said, "Yeah, it felt really good to tell you. I don't know why."

Karen let go of Nancy and kissed her head before she said, "Get some sleep, school starts at 8:00 am, so you can still get some rest." Nancy nodded before she climbed into bed and passed out. Karen looked at her daughter and sighed before she turned off the light and closed the door quietly.
