********

Meg opened the door ushering Shane in. You dont have to knock. Come in, come in. The food is almost ready. My husband, Mike is in the living room watching a basketball game with that troublemaker Jay. The Bulls I think is playing.

Shane nodded. Yeah, the Bulls is unstoppable with MJ. She had hung around enough guys to know that much at least.

Meg looked at Shane in confusion. MJ? My daughter, MJ? She cant throw a ball across the room let alone play basketball.

Laughter bubbled out of Shane uncontrollably. Michael Jordan. Meg laughed too realizing her mistake.

That was the scene that MJ walked into. Her mom and an unknown girl were laughing uproariously. She watched them enviously. She has not been close to her mom of late and knew that it was her fault. MJ didnt think she could keep this secret any longer. It was eating her alive.

Shane was the first to notice another person in the spacious kitchen. She felt the air left her lungs, and all of a sudden it was as if she has been knocked over. Before her was a vision to behold, straight raven hair that seemed to capture every translucent light to frame a fair heart shaped face perfectly. To top it off was the amber eyes that spoke of what she has no idea but would love to find out.

God, Shane snapped out of it. Youre staring. Shane looked away hurriedly. What are you thinking? Remember Ron? Your one true love.

Meg made the introduction. Shane, this is my daughter MJ. MJ, say hi to Shane.

Shane got out a hello.

Wow, her voice is really deep. Raspy and her moms voice interrupted her thoughts. MJ is 17. Very smart girl. Junior year in high school, and she is already thinking about college. She will be the first in the family. Now if only she has a boyfriend.

Mom, youre embarrassing me.

All right, all right. MJ, Shane why dont you set the table. We will have dinner in 5 minutes.

Meg went back to attending to the food while Shane followed MJ to the cabinet, out of her depth. MJ handed Shane some plates and their hand brushed.

There was that shiver of heat again. Dammit, Shane thought. She quickly looked at MJ and saw that she did not react at all. ***** me.

There was an awkward silence that existed in Shanes part. She didnt know what to say to this incredibly gorgeous older girl in her own kitchen with her mom standing five feet away.

Get a grip Shane. Shes Megs daughter, a no touch zone either way. Thats right Shane, you dont care either way.

So, collegeany place in particular?

MJ lifted her right shoulder and cracked a smile. Dont really know. Mom just wants to think that I have my ***** together.

MJ leaned over the table, and Shane was captivated by her behind. The stretched jeans framed that beautiful bounty to perfection.

Shane?

Huh? What? Caught staring again, Shane felt her cheeks getting hotter. *****, I hope Im not blushing.

MJ couldnt help but noticed, She looks so cute when shes blushing.

Its nothing dont worry about it. MJ grinned at Shane again.

All right MJ, go get your dad and Jay.

Everybody sat down around the round kitchen table.

So Shane how did you meet Jay?

Jay interrupted before Shane could answer, We bumped into each other on the streets.

Dude, more like you tried to pick my pocket and failed miserably. Mr. Nimble Finger was not so nimble. Shane couldnt help but teased.

Jay just made a face at Shane and threw his napkin at her. This just made Shane laughed even harder as the crumble paper hit her smack on the forehead.

I was standing there in awe of Time Square. All of a sudden I feel something wiggling against my *****. So I was thinking that either someone was trying to cope a feel or a very bad attempt to still my wallet.

Hey I did not expect for your jeans to be so tight against your bony *****.

MJ chimed in, Haha nice try Jay. The king has lost his touch.

Okay next topic. Everybody laughed at Jays attempt to change the topic.

Dinner ended way too early for Shane.

Thanks Meg for another great dinner. I gotta go. I promised to meet this girl to go dancing for a bit. Jay gave them a cheeky grin on his way out.

Shane also gave Meg a hug and promised Mike to be at his salon bright and early. She had thought of calling it an early night since tomorrow was her first day.

In the midst of the goodnights, MJ hopped back into the kitchen gave Shanes a kiss on the cheek and said something about going over to Lindsays and then run out.

By 11 in her bedroom and still not able to sleep, Shane decided to go out also. She had done her research on the ***** bars in the area and this was the best time as any to scope out the scene.
