Figuring out plans for Ashley's party

Adam, Taylor, Hannah, Zack, Brandon, Lisa and Ashley put their heads together for a good two hours that afternoon coming up with some good plans for a birthday bash that would usher Ashley into her 19th year. Once the plans had been finalized to the best of their abilities, Ashley quickly sent out invitations via text to all her friends except the ones present, who she assured were automatically invited. After all that was done, no one really felt like going home, and Zack and Taylor made sure that every one was convinced of staying a little while longer, at least until their parents called to let them know they would be home soon. Everyone sat on a sofa and a conversation started, that began about school then quickly involved to an inquest into Adam's love life, or as people found out, lack there of. "Are you serious?! You've had sex once!" Hannah snorted in laughter.

"Oh shut it Han! Not everyone is a hornball like you." Taylor said to her best friend. "Take your own time with things, you don't want to rush things and make a mistake." Advised Taylor.

"Can you believe Yoda over here Zack? She preaches celibacy, with all the things she's done." Hannah exclaims incredulously.

"Come on Hannah, I didn't need to know that about my own sister." Zack said disgusted.

"I never said anything about being celibate, just take your time and choose your battles, nothing wrong with that." Taylor said.

"Hmph." Huffed Hannah.

"Anyways, how did you like your first day Adam? Besides the thing with Chelsea." Ashley asked from Brandon's side.

"It was pretty good, I'm glad I was able to meet you guys, I'm looking forward to the rest of the school year."

"Before you start looking too far ahead, remember that it was only the first day, tough times ahead, bud." Brandon chimed in with his two cents of wisdom.

"By the way have any of you finished your homework?" Lisa asked.

"Shit! That dick! I can't believe he gave us homework on the first day. Did he say when it was due?" Brandon said.

"I don't remember." She said uncertainly looking to the others for support.

"I think he said he wanted it tomorrow even though we don't have class with him tomorrow. I guess just drop it in his office during our spare or lunch?"

"Crap! I guess we better get started then, huh?" Zack said dejectedly. Adam was sure that he had plans tonight with them, but the homework would put an end to that.

"Actually, I've already finished mine." Adam said

"Ooh, be more like him Zack!" Taylor said

"I've already done my too." Ashley said.

"Wait! You too Ash? I know Zack did his with Vicky, but when did you do yours?" Brandon asked sounding a little disappointed that he wouldn't have his girlfriend with him when studying.

"I did it with Chloe while Adam and Vicky were in the library." Ashley explained.

"Well damn. Guess it's just us three then?" Brandon looked at Zack and Lisa and they both nodded. The three of them went up the stairs to probably study in Zack's room.

"And then there were four." Hannah said dramatically causing Adam to chuckle a little. Adam felt a little awkward, on one hand he felt awesome that he was the only boy in a room with three hot women, but then again, he was the only boy in a room with three hot women. Adam's shyness as it was want to do, won over, and he sat in awkward silence as the two older women looked at him, and Ashley looked anywhere but at her sister and Taylor.

"Sooooooo, what do you two do?" Adam braced himself and asked the question that cut through the awkward atmosphere.

"Well Hannah and I go to Green Hills College, just out of town from here. Classes start next week, so Hannah and I will be moving out towards the end of the week." Taylor said

"Oh wow, that's pretty cool. Any idea where you want to go for college or university Ash?" Adam asked the girl sitting beside him.

"No idea, but probably somewhere a little ways away." Ashley said.

"Yeah, Ash is a little bit of a rebel. Going against the norm and all that, just look at her, not even looking at you, I wonder why." Hannah said in a teasing way. Adam was still pretty juvenile in a sexual teasing way, so that hint flew right over his head, but Ashley's cute blush made him curious as to what Hannah was talking about. Hannah stared at him confused, while Ashley looked at him expectantly. When Ashley didn't see his clueless face change, she let out a sigh of relief and gave up a silent prayer to the god of the clueless and innocent. "You're kidding me! You didn't get it! I-"

"Haha! Oh Hannah, you crack me up sometimes. Don't you think Adam?" She asked Adam, then whispered softly "Laugh and walk with me." As she got up and led him out the front door, he did just that, she sat him down on the front steps as she sat down as well.

"What was that about?" He asked her

"Never change Adam." She laughed and smiled at him before resting her head on his shoulder watching the sun go down.

"How scandalous!" Hannah said jokingly as she and Taylor looked out the window at Adam and her sister.

"Oh relax, that's how to friends act, and plus, even if it evolves into something else, you know she isn't happy with Brandon anyway." Taylor said.

"I know, poor Ash, this is why I told Heather not to settle down with a guy, they'll just break your heart."

"Oh man, you're getting like that again, you really need to get fucked." Taylor said

"You know what, I think you're right, and I know someone who you would like too."

"No thank you. And someone that I would like? You mean like that kid out there?" Taylor asked.

"What about him, you know as well as I, that if this house were empty, I'd be jumping his bones right now, and you'd most likely be helping me out. Maybe he likes pool?" Hannah mused to herself.

"Pool?"

"Yeah, it always did get me horny, you know a long stick hitting balls into pockets." She shivered.

"You're crazy. Is that why you always like to play with Zack?"

"Partly, Heather taught him how to play, I just test his skills."

"You _are _crazy, that's my brother."

"You love that I'm crazy." Hannah whispered in Taylor's ear.

"I do." Taylor said as she kissed Hannah lightly on the lips.

"Shall we?" Hannah asked.

"We're not actually going to get fucked are we?" Taylor asked worriedly, as she hadn't taken the pill.

"No, don't worry. Don't get those sexy black panties in a knot, it would just make it harder for me to get them off later. Come, let's get some steak."

"I'm down for steak." Taylor laughed as they headed for the door where Adam and Ashley still sat on the top step watching the sunset together.
