Master PC: The Eclectic's Edition

                                  Chapter 2

   Anna - Late Monday Afternoon

What to do, what to do...  No more books to read...  Nothing on TV
tonight...  Maybe I can get Lis to come over... We
could play some cards or go to a movie or something - anything as long as I
can be close to her.  I just wish I could tell
her how I really feel about her...

(Before she could complete the thought, the phone rings.)

"Hello?"

<Hi girl!>

It's Lis! - "Hey Lis, What's up?" - Talk about timing!

<Hot date tonight!  I need you to cover for me.>

Hot date?  It can't be her boyfriend, she'd never be that excited about it
if it was...  and that SOB'd kill her if it was
anyone else... - "You have a date tonight... and it's not Jesus?  You trying
to get killed?"

<Don't remind me.  I met this hot guy today, and we're getting together for
a private dinner at his place.>

WHAT?!? - "It doesn't matter.  You know all guys like to brag to each
 other." - That's one of the reasons that I quit
dating guys - "Jesus WILL find out."

<I don't think so - I don't think this guy's ever spent a day in the hood -
he's not the type.> - Not the type?  That's the only
type of guy you've ever dated! - <But listen, I just got off the phone with
Jesus.> - WHAT? - <He thinks that we're going
out tonight, so I need you to cover.>

Damn, girl!  What do you think you're doing?!? - "Okay, I hope he's worth
it." - He'd better be... you're risking BOTH
our necks on THIS one!

<Me too.  God, I'm so hot just thinking about him!> - I wish it was me
making you hot instead! - <If turns out to be
another jerk, I may just switch to women!>

Could she really be interested?  No...  I've never seen her show that kind
of interest in women before...  Maybe she's
changing her mind?  Maybe we can... No.  I can't risk it.  As much as I love
her, I can't risk our friendship... can I?  I
mean...

<Anna?>

Oops. - "I'm here"

<What's wrong?>

No, I can't risk it. - "It's nothing, really."

<Was it what I said about switching to women?>

Oh, Shit!  What do I say?!? - "No... yes... I don't know..."

<Okay, we can talk about it tomorrow.  We're still on for tomorrow, right?>

Tomorrow?  Oh, the mall. - "Yeah.  Sunland Park Mall tomorrow at eleven."

<OK.  See you there.>

"See you," Anna said before she numbly hung up the phone.

The rest of Anna's evening was spent digging herself deeper and deeper into
a pit of depression and confusion.  Needless to
say, she didn't get much sleep that night.  Between the nightmares and other
things, she was still sobbing when she finally gave
up on getting any more sleep around 5:00am.

"Oh God, what am I going to do?!?  If I tell Lis how I feel about her, I
just KNOW that she won't want anything to do with me
again!!!"

   Melissa - Tuesday Morning - Arriving at the Mall

What a gorgeous day!  I can't believe how lucky I am!  I meet this guy at
the grocery store, and in less than 24-hours, I am
absolutely in Love with him!  Thank you God!!!

Melissa got to the mall and started looking for her friend at the food
court.  Anna's gonna be SO JEALOUS!  He was
DEFINITELY "Worth it."  Where's she at?

A couple of minutes later, she spotted Anna, only to find her looking very
depressed, sitting at one of the tables.

There she is...  Oh man, she looks terrible!  I've NEVER seen her look that
down before! ... I wonder if it has anything
to do with our conversation last night...

Melissa walked up to the table that Anna's sitting at.  "Anna?"

"Huh?  Oh, hi Lis," Anna said, not really coming out of her mood.

"Damn, girl.  What's wrong?" Melissa asked, concerned.

"Nothing."

"Don't give me that, you know you can always talk to me."

"I... I can't... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have come." Anna said, while tears
were coming from her eyes.

Anna got up quickly and started walking hurriedly towards the mall entrance.
Melissa quickly caught up and grabbed her by
the shoulder to stop her.  When she did, Anna just looked down, still
crying.

Gently, Melissa said "It's alright, let's talk about it."

"I can't.  I don't want to lose you," she said as she really lost it.

Melissa just pulled her in for a long, tight hug.  After a minute of Anna's
sobbing into her shoulder, Melissa softly said "It's
okay, Anna.  Really."

"But you don't understand," Anna sobbed.

Melissa pulled back a bit so she could look Anna directly in the face.  What
she saw looked like a mixture of fear, shame, and
need.  Nodding to herself, she leaned forward again and gently kissed Anna
on the lips.  When she pulled back again, Anna's
expression had changed to one of complete shock.

Melissa smiled and said "I kinda figured it out yesterday when we were on
the phone."

"It doesn't bother you?" Anna said, still shocked.

"Why would it?  You've always been my best friend...  I guess we just got a
little closer than either of us ever expected we
would." Melissa gently said.

Anna just looked into Melissa's eyes.  She couldn't believe what she was
hearing.  Suddenly, she threw herself back into
Melissa's arms and hugged her as hard as she could, never wanting to let go.

"GOD!  I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!" she cried into Melissa's ears.

They held tight to each other for a minute or so - until Melissa remembered
where they were and that the lunch crowd was
already there in force.

"Come on girl, I think we're making a bit of a scene, and there's some stuff
we really need to talk about," Melissa said, gently.

Anna pulled back, blushing, and nodded, then they started walking further
into the mall - and away from the lunch crowd.  A
little ways in, Melissa started doing more of the leading.

"Where are we going?" Anna asked.

"First things first - I need to find something more comfortable to wear,"
replied Melissa

"What do you m... LIS!  Your Breasts!" Anna exclaimed - before she could
catch herself.  They just looked at each other,
then Melissa grabbed her wrist and they ran through the mall and ducked into
a clothing store.  Melissa was smiling as they
stopped to catch their breaths.

"I know it's a shock, but you didn't have to be so loud about it."

"Sorry, it's just... Wow!" Anna said.

"You like, huh?"

"They look great!"

"Let me grab a couple of new bras and blouses, then we can go somewhere and
talk for a little while.  Okay?"
