*Chapter 8* Stacy's college student sister.

"You don't look old enough to be Stacy's mom..." you observe as you stare at a young blonde with striking resemblances to the cheerleader.

"Good, cuz I'm not. Stacy is my little sister," she replies before letting you in. She does appear older than your classmate, but that could be because of her shorter cropped hair or what she is wearing; she is barefoot in a thin pink silken robe that drapes around her figure. It looks very sultry on her and you begin to suspect she just changed before greeting you. "Mom and dad are at work, and I'm here on my own. I'm Melanie," the blonde says to Amina, "But you can call me Mel... What's your name?"

"I'm Amina, but some people just call me Mina," the genie replies. The two smile at one another with lingering stares. You clear your throat and bump into Amina as you step inside.

Inside is a fairly spacious loft that hints towards the Danvers family affluence. There is a large living space directly from the entryway which stops at a halfwall to separate the kitchen space. The high ceiling opens up to the second floor balcony where the bedrooms are located. You gaze about in awe before returning your attention to the resident.

"So... any idea when Stacy will be back?" you ask.

"Well, it could be an hour or so, or it could be all day. She didn't tell the folks about her classes being cancelled," Mel explains as she guides you to the dark leather couch in the living space. You defensively sit close to Amina on the big couch, so Mel lays herself across the single seat recliner opposite of you. She continues to eye Amina as she says, "What about you two? You got nothing better to do than hang out with Stace?"

"Actually we just wanted to ask her some things about her friend..." you start.

"What is it that YOU were doing before we came by?" Amina asks curiously.

Melanie narrows her eyes and smirks, "Oh, don't think such naughty thoughts about me, Mina, I'm a good girl!" Her robe slips off her shoulder, revealing her lace negligee underneath. "I was studying for exams." Suddenly Mel sits up, excited, "Actually, maybe you could help me with a social experiment! I mean, you're waiting here for Stace to come back, so you got the time, right?"

You give Amina a worried glance and she looks back to you questioningly.
