Panic and run!

The risk of being caught so close to safety was too much for Lucy to handle. It broke all her reason as she made for the final flight of stairs.

No longer did she stay crouched close to the railing. Her hands gripped both sides as she struggled up the steps, wet feet barely maintaining contact with the rough concrete. It took everything she had to hold onto the slick rails.

Finally rounding the turn in the stairs, she was so close to the top when the wind whipped back and caught the edge of the towel. It flew across Lucy's body, and in a split-second decision, Lucy reached back to grab it.

Amazingly, she managed to grasp the towel. However, Lucy was not strong enough to hold herself down with one hand. The gust ripped her from the railing and into the air. As she tumbled down the stairs, the towel slipped from her fingers.

Lucy felt a sharp pain in the back of her head. She could no longer hear the sounds of wind and rain around her. Instead, she felt warm and comforted. There was a pleasant, nutty aroma around.

Opening her eyes, Lucy saw a familiar face come into view. It was the blonde girl from the gas station. The suddenness of everything made Lucy flinch backward, causing her head to ache as she winced in pain.

The girl pulled Lucy's head towards her chest and comforted her, "It's okay. I'm here to help."

Lucy glanced around. Someone had tucked her into a bed in a cozy apartment. She could only assume it belonged to the girl whose breasts she was currently between.

"But why would you.." Lucy trailed.

"I saw you passed out on the stairs outside. You just owe me one."

"But I don't even know your name. And of all people, I don't particularly want to owe you a fav-"

The blonde girl cut Lucy off, "The name is Zoe, and maybe we can do something about that." Zoe moved down, so her face was level with Lucy's.

She grabbed Lucy's waist and pulled her close. The hand against Lucy's bare skin made her realize that she was still completely naked. But the anxiety was drowned out by the lips inches away from her face.

Lucy's body may have been dry, but one part of her was still wet, and that's all she was thinking about when she accepted Zoe's embrace.
