HAUNTED

TEAM EFFORT

The sun was up. Uh, it was bright. There were arms around her. Nora knew what had happened. Thankfully, she remembered everything. Oh. What now? She heard the door open. Poppy. Great.

"Hey. You know that is my bed right?" Poppy just stared. Nora was in bed with a man. It wasn't her bed but at least she was doing something interesting. Nora was never this irresponsible.

Oh, no. Soren laughed. "Sorry, Poppy. I will buy you new sheets!" He pulled Nora closer. He was so satisfied.

"Uh, right. I am getting ready for class. Are you going to class, Nora?" Poppy asked.

She never asked that question before. She was stepping over clothes scattered across the floor.

"No." Nora said and didn't move. "No, Poppy. I'm not." Her head was killing her. "Sorry about the bed. I didn't realize that we were in the wrong bed."

"Clearly, you were focused on other things!" Poppy laughed.

Soren laughed too. He liked Poppy. She closed the bathroom door and Soren pulled Nora close. "Morning."

"Mmm. Morning. Too early and the sun is too loud!" Nora had a vicious hangover.

"Never been drunk before?" Soren smiled.

"No. Never again either." Nora didn't want to do that again.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Great if this headache would go away." Nora pointed out.

Soren smiled and touched Nora. His hands were roaming everywhere. "Hangover."

"Right." Nora turned and kissed Soren. They were tangled in the sheets when Poppy came out of the bathroom.

"Okay. You could wait until I am out of here. My bag is over there!" Poppy pointed on the other side of the bed. Against the wall. The only way to get there was over the bed.

"Oh, Sorry." Nora said and laughed. She rolled over and grabbed Poppy's bag. "I am sorry. I didn't realize. I thought this was my bed!" Her bed was on the other side of the room.

Soren took Poppy's bag from Nora and handed it to Poppy. "Sorry!" Poppy laughed and left the room. Soren heard her laugh all the way down the hall.

"You are a bad influence on me!" Nora said and smiled.

Soren smiled. "I know. You need a bad influence. You work too hard. When was the last time that you missed a class?"

"Uh, never." Nora raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, today is your lucky day!" Without explaining anything he kissed her and made love to her in Poppy's bed. Nora was the worst roommate.

Poppy rushed back to the room. She had questions. There were fresh linens on her bed and there were two people in Nora's bed. Sleeping. She smiled as she watched them.

Soren was wrapped around Nora and it was tough to tell who was who. They were almost one person with four arms.

Poppy looked at Nora's arm. It had black tattoos on it and some was some kind of writing. It looked foreign. Poppy had known her for three years and never knew that. She wondered where she got them.

It was about time someone shook Nora up. She was too tame in Poppy's mind. She wondered how they met and thought that Soren was good for Nora. It was about time. Poppy sat at her desk and started her homework. She let the lovers sleep.
