Best Friends

The Storm

Once Bill had gone, Amy turned back to Faryn.

"Where were we?" she said, smiling.

Once again, she put Faryn's hands on her own waist and then put her arms around Faryn's neck. She started swaying her hips to the music.

This time, Faryn started to do the same. She copied Amy's movements perfectly.

They were now dancing together in the lounge, swaying their hips in unison.

They seemed to be really enjoying themselves. But it wasn't meant to last...

About an hour later, there was a blinding flash. Lightning, followed by a very loud rumble of thunder.

Both girls screamed.

They were both scared of storms. This one, however, was like nothing they had ever experienced before.

But they couldn't be scared when they were with each other. They just had to be in the same room and they wouldn't be scared.

They started laughing.

"I don't think I'm going home tonight!" said Amy, her eyes shining.

"Nope!" said Faryn, smirking. "You stayin' right here, girl!"

Amy decided to text her mother (Sharon) and let her know.

Amy: I'm staying with Faryn at her beach house 2night 'coz of this storm x

Sharon: Ok, darling. Stay safe, both of u x

Amy: Ok, Mum. Love u x

Sharon: Love u 2 x

That done, they made themselves some hot dogs for dinner. As they ate, Amy received a text. It was from Bill.

Bill: Just got home, babe x

Amy: Really? U walked home on crutches in this storm? x

Bill: Yeah, what of it? x

Amy: Well I'm staying with Faryn 2night. U know how it is x

Bill: Ok. My mum's making me go to bed now, so I'll talk 2 u 2morrow. Stay safe, babe. Love u x

Amy: Talk 2 u 2morrow, babe. Love u 2 x

It was now nearly 10 o'clock, so Faryn and Amy decided to get ready for bed.

"Hey, Faryn?"

"Mhm?"

"Do you mind if I sleep in here with you tonight?"

"No, not at all," Faryn replied. "I know you get scared when you're alone in a storm."

"Thanks!"

It was still really hot, though, so Faryn chose to just sleep in her underwear.

A few minutes later, Amy appeared in Faryn's doorway. Amy normally slept in a tshirt and panties, but tonight she was standing there completely naked.

"Fucking hell, Amy!" Faryn said with a start when she turned around and saw Amy.

"What?"

"You don't normally sleep naked, do you?"

"I know," Amy began, looking rather sheepish. "But it's so hot at the moment that I just decided it was too hot for clothes."

"I know it's hot, Amy. That's why I'm gonna sleep in just my underwear."

"Haven't you tried sleeping naked, Faryn? I have. That way you don't need to bother adjusting your clothes in the middle of the night. It's really freeing, Faryn. You should try it."

"Fine. I'll try it. But only 'coz you said so!"

"Need some help there?" Amy asked as she watched Faryn struggling to unclasp her bra and giggled.

"Yes, please."

Amy went over to Faryn. She slowly unclasped her friend's bra, and helped her take it off. She then helped Faryn to remove her panties.

Faryn was now completely naked in front of her best friend.

"What's wrong, Faryn?" asked Amy. "I've seen you naked before. Why do you look so uncomfortable?"

"It's just that I've never been naked with you before. For an extended period of time. Normally, it's just about 30 seconds. Never the whole fucking night!"

"It's alright, Faryn. You were confident enough earlier to eat me out, remember? What's happened to the fearless Faryn Tate that we all know and love?"

"Huh?" said Faryn. "What did you just say?"

"What happened to the fearless Faryn Tate that we all know and love?"

"Yeah. What's that supposed to mean, Amy?"

"You're fearless, Faryn. That's what everyone loves about you. You're never insecure about yourself. Why now? Why do you feel insecure around me? Is there something I should know, Faryn?"

"Amy, you're my best friend. I've never slept naked with anyone. Not even alone. I'm most vulnerable when I'm naked and asleep. Sleeping naked will make me so much more vulnerable."

"Vulnerable to what?"

"Everything, Amy!"

"You just need to relax, Faryn. Relax and get to know yourself. Get to know your body."

"How, though? How do I relax when I'm vulnerable?"

"How about I give you a massage, Faryn?" Amy suggested, offering a comforting smile. "Massages are very relaxing."

"Okay, Amy."
