Mary Can't Handle the Truth.

"Probably spank it," Mary said offhandedly.

"Yeah, you and every other girl on the planet," Venus complained. "Give us something juicy."

Mary looked around at the group of half naked strangers that were waiting for her to spill her darkest secrets. "I... I can't do this."

Mary stood up and bolted for the door. The thumping music drowned out her sobs. She grabbed the door handle and began to jerk.

"Open damn you," Mary cried as she laid her head against the locked door.

"Already leaving?" The nerdy doorman asked sarcastically.

"Open this goddamn door or I'll use your scrawny ass to batter it down," Mary practically screamed in rage not in any mood to put up with this man's shit.

"Okay," the man squeaked as he lifted the latch and opened the door.

Mary burst into the night looking left and right. "Fuck," Mary threw her head back and howled. Great now where am I going to go. I don't even know where I am. Then Mary turned back to look at the door. Well, I'm sure as hell not going back in there.

Mary picked the direction she assumed would most likely lead her back to the hotel and began to walk.

"Where the fuck are you going?" Misty yelled as she busted out of the Napoli's entrance.

Mary spun around her ire rising. "Anywhere but here! What the fuck was that? We met like a second ago and next thing I'm in a circle of half naked strangers asking me what I'd do if I suddenly had my very own dick."

"It was truth or dare. I thought everyone had played it a hundred times before they finished high school," Misty answered diplomatically. "I guess I just assumed it wouldn't be a big deal since you were so free back at the restaurant."

Mary pointed an accusatory finger at Misty. "Yeah, well you should ask not assume."

"Sorry," Misty replied casting her gaze toward the ground.

Mary walked over to Misty her anger quelled. "Maybe I overreacted. I'm from a small town and wasn't very popular. So this popped my truth or dare cherry. Besides aren't they supposed to start out with less... risque questions."

Misty placed a reassuring hand on Mary's shoulder. "We came in late, so they started us with a higher degree of difficulty. Even so, I bet that bastard Regan stacked the deck."

"You don't seem to care much for Regan," Mary surmised laying her forehead on Misty's shoulder.

"It's complicated. We used to be good friends. Then he got to where he liked to try and steal the girls I wanted," Misty answered.

"Why would he go after girls that like other girls?" Mary questioned.

"He says I only like bi girls or girls are on the fence about their sexuality. Son of a bitch thinks he's a noble knight for turning them back straight," Mist said venom dripping from each word.

"That's not how it works," Mary protested as she hugged Misty.

"Yeah, right. Though a lot of these girls are young and impressionable. Regan's a charmer. He manipulates them into believing his bullshit. Then once he's had his fun, he dumps them," Mary said before planting a kiss on the top of Mary's head.

Bewildered, Mary looked up at Misty. "Then why bring me here?"

Misty let go of Mary and turned around. The punk girl reached into her pocket and pulled out a crushed pack of smokes. She lit a bent cigarette and took a long drag before answering. "Because I wanted you to resist him. I'm a bit insecure with women. He's taken so many from me that I can never be completely comfortable unless whoever I'm with rejects him first."

Mary walked up behind Misty and hugged her tightly. "You're being silly. If I wanted to be with someone else, I wouldn't have called you, to begin with."

Misty smiled before tossing her cigarette to the ground and grinding it out with the toe of her shoe. She reached down and undid Mary's grasp. Misty turned around to face the kind, young girl. Then slowly she moved in closer before planting a gentle kiss on Mary's lips.

At first, Mary was too stunned to react. Don't be a dead fish, Misty's putting herself out there. You like her don't fuck it up. Mary then began to kiss Misty back. Even taking the initiative to open her mouth slightly.

Misty took the hint and slid her tongue inside probing to find Mary's. The two young women lost themselves in each other's embrace under the starry sky.

"Wow," Mary said breaking the kiss. "We should have done this from the start."

"Yeah," Misty as she began to nuzzle Mary's neck. "Want to take this back to my place?"

"Umm, that sounds so tempting," Mary cooed. "But I have to get back to my room. Do you work tomorrow?"

"Till ten," Misty responded. "Are you sure you don't want to come back with me? I could drive you to the con in the morning."

"I want to, Oh God right now do I want to," Mary stated in high pitched voice as Misty ran her tongue up her neck and grabbed her ass. "I just can't there will be too many questions."

"Alright then," Misty said with a hint of disappointment. "But there will eventually come a time when you'll have to choose to face those questions."

"I know," Mary said sneaking one last opened mouth kiss in before heading for Misty's car.
