Chapter 9
 
 

Cat turned around and stared at him.  He leaned toward her slightly.  She stood on her toes to meet his lips.  He moved one hand down to her waist and wrapped the other around her neck, twining his fingers in her hair.
Cat placed her hands on his chest.  Their lips met.  Still kissing, they moved toward the bed.  Cat was unbuttoning his shirt.  Justin moved his hands up her back, under her shirt.  He undid her bra.  They broke apart.  Justin moved his lips down her neck.  He pulled of her shirt.  Cat pushed his shirt off his arms.  She ran her hand down his chest, coming to his jeans.  She unbuckled his belt, undid his jeans and pushed them down, along
Justin was kissing her neck, fondling her breasts.   He rolled a nipple between his fingers.  He moved his other hand down to her waist.  He struggled to undo her belt with one hand.  Cat twined her fingers in his hair, pulling his head up for another kiss.
Justin finally got her belt undone.  He pushed her jeans and underwear down.
They tumbled on the bed, still kissing.  Justin straddled her, his lips moving from hers.  His head moved down her body, kissing her breasts.
He started to move lower, when Cat stopped him
"Justin, I'm a virgin," she said.  That brought his head up.
"Why?" he asked.
Cat shrugged.  "I just never found the one I wanted to have sex with."  She shook her head.  "No, that's not right.  I was seventeen when I first started liking you;  I'd never had sex, and I decided if I couldn't have you, I didn't want to have anyone."
Justin thought for a minute.  "Are you sure you want to do this?  If you're not, I'll understand."
"I want this.  I'm all most 23; I think I'm ready for sex."
'If, at anytime, you feel unsure about it, tell me."  He leaned back up and kissed her, more tenderly than before.  His hands wandered, bring her to the edge.  It was one of the most magical events of her life.  Justin experienced complete happiness, loving the woman that held  his heart and soul in her hands.
 
 

An hour and a half later, Justin sighed and stretched.  "We should get up soon.  Everyone will be back in about an hour,"  he told Cat.  They were lying on his bed, Cat lying across his chest.  He ran his hand through her currently waist length hair.
Cat rolled over and stretched.  Sitting on the edge of the bed, she leaned over and kissed Justin.  "I'm going to take a shower.  Then we have to talk."
"About what we're going to tell the guys?"
"Well no, not exactly.  More like what we're going to tell Liz and Lex."
Justin laughed.  "We have to figure that out; I don't want to die now."
Cat faked a sigh.  "My friends."  She laughed.  "How I love them."  Walking  into the bathroom, she could hear Justin's laugh.
Ten minutes later, Cat walked out, with a towel wrapped around her body.  Justin was dressed and had gathered her clothes for her.
Taking them from him, she gave him a kiss.  "Thank you."
"You're welcome."  He kissed her back.  He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him.  Cat kissed him once again and then pulled away from him.
Justin sighed.  Cat laughed.
When she was dressed, they sat on the bed, getting comfortable before they began the discussion that neither were looking forward to.
Justin stretched his arm across her shoulders; Cat leaned on him.
"Do we want to tell everyone we're dating?"  Justin asked
"No.  I don't think that'd be wise.  And we definitely aren't telling them what we did tonight," Cat replied.
"So what do we tell them?"
"That we talked and became friends."
"But won't that be lying?"
"No, because we did talk and became friends.  We just won't be telling them the whole truth."
"But we didn't really talk.  We just had sex."
"Um, back in 2000, a friend and I gave a new meaning to 'talk.'"
"How did you do that?"
Cat sat up.  "Well, in our English class, we were reading this book.  I was telling Faith, my friend, about a scene where two characters die and I said they were shot while 'talking.'"
Justin laughed.  "Really they were having sex?  Did your friend get your meaning?"
Cat leaned back against him.  "Yes, to both."
"That's weird, but okay."
"You think that's strange?  Let me tell you about this time when me and Faith...."
That began a session of talking about their past.
