No, she couldn't

Taking a deep breath, Eliza quashed down the urge boiling inside of her. It wasn’t to the point of unruliness yet, though this shopping trip had fed into it more than she would've liked. She told herself she had enough self-control to not go off on her friend…again.

Jason’s involvement, while being a special and **** case, still harbored no small amount of regret. Their friendly relationship had recovered from the initial incident, but not back to how they were before. There was a trepidation Jason held towards her, and Eliza couldn’t fault him for it. She was different from before, and in comparison to him, she was all powerful…and dangerous. And, despite all that, he stayed by her, and she wasn’t about to give that up. Sure their friendship had evolved to gain the ‘with benefits’ tag with it, but it was a friendship nonetheless, something she was in short supply of.

This was why she was so adamant about ruining the new one she had made with Chloe, why she couldn’t allow herself to give into the urge and sully or worst case ruin the friendship altogether. It was then that it occurred to her that it wasn’t only their friendship on the line, but Chloe’s relationship with her boyfriend. She had forgotten about him as Chloe didn’t talk about him much, which had come up as weird to Eliza’s senses. It wasn’t her position to push so she didn’t pursue it further, guessing there was a reason for her avoidance of the subject.

Oblivious to Eliza’s inner struggle, Chloe took her silence to validate her suspicions. Eliza always looked at her in a different way than just a friend, she had experienced the pining eyes of enough guys and girls to recognize it in the socially awkward girl. She didn’t begrudge her for those looks, in fact taking it as a compliment. Whether Eliza was lesbian or bi or something else she didn’t know, but she certainly wasn’t straight, looking as if she was about to jump her right there. Maybe if they weren’t in such a public place she might have, which Chloe made note of. While she was looking forward to meeting some hot guys at the party, she might have to find a way to get the two of them alone... She wouldn’t push though, as pushing the shy girl would only push her away, something which Chloe couldn’t accept. She would simply bide her time, breaking down that barrier brick by brick, at least until something happened.

Eliza was still looking at Chloe, though she wasn’t actually seeing her, instead being inside her mind. This changed when Chloe started disrobing in front of her, the fabric sliding off her shoulder, threatening another round of her bare glory. With panicked realization kicking in, Eliza quickly looked away before she took another eyeful of her friend. She swore a small smirk appeared on Chloe’s lips, but she couldn’t be sure she wasn’t imagining it. Taking her lead, Eliza also undressed, the skin-tight satin fabric peeling away from her skin.

Dressed back in their normal clothes, Eliza let out a sigh of relief. She never expected to get this worked up so quickly, something she would have to ask Kat about when she got the chance. The party itself was still a few days away, so a fresh feeding session the night before might not be a bad idea. If today was almost enough to set her off, she could only imagine the effect that a whole room full of horny men and women would have on her.

To Eliza’s surprise, Chloe fronted the cash and paid for both their dresses. She said it was as thanks for accepting her invitation, an outcome Eliza wasn’t about to argue. The dress was rather pricy and while she could afford it, it would leave her with not much else until her next payday. The two girls parted with another lengthy hug, Chloe thanking Eliza yet again in excitement. The rest of the day went by without too much incident. She had however caught her first glimpse of Heather since their little...altercation. Heather had seemingly disappeared after that day, not even attending Mr. Gordon's class anymore. It became evident as to why, as when their eyes met, hers went as wide as saucers. Without so much as a word, Heather spun on her heels, making her way as fast as she could without drawing undue attention to herself. The thought of following her ran through Eliza's mind, but figured she had tormented her enough. Besides, would she be any better than Heather at that point if she did?

Getting home, Eliza wondered if she would actually see her roommate there today. For someone who **** their way into her apartment, she doesn't seem to spend a whole lot of time there. It wasn't as bad as she made it sound, at least, not anymore. Rooming with Kat had become enjoyable over time, and not necessarily in that way. Okay, well, not only in that way. She genuinely enjoyed her company, something she realized she was missing by living alone. Not to mention she paid her half of the bills, and considering it's technically a one-bedroom apartment, this gave Eliza some breathing room as far as money was concerned. As far as roommates were concerned, Eliza figured she could be stuck with a lot worse. Sure, she was the source of her current problem, but she could also be the solution as well. And she did willingly agree to this...sort of...in a way. Shaking her head as she opened her door, Eliza fervidly hoped the red-skinned vixen would be home today so she could lay her newfound worry to rest.
