Chapter 10: Part 2.
(A very long chapter)
MEANWHILE, IN ANOTHER PART OF THE GALAXY…
WELL, THE WORLD ACTUALLY…
BUGGER IT THEN, IN THE BACKYARD…
…sat Mike and Faith.
“You right Mike?”
“Yeah.”
“He hit you hard.”
“He did. I had no idea it was George you spoke about. I mean, I never really trusted him but I wouldn’t have thought he’d do that.” They stayed quiet for a while, looking up at the stars.
“Are you mad at me Mike?”
“Why would I be?”
“Dunno. Just cos. I couldn’t answer the question, you had to stand between me and Sharn. You got beaten up by George for me.”
“You’re right, I hate you, go away leave me alone, I want to poke out your eyeballs with a pogo stick.” Faith laughed.
“Thanks.”
“I did nothing.”
They looked up at the house. It seemed quiet.
“Y’wanna go home Mike?”
“Yeah… have you called my brother?”
“No. Don’t have his number.”
“Shit. Neither do I.”
“Stay here then”
“Too many mozzies”
“We’ll keep each other mozzie-less.”
“Yes, with my romantic vomit-covered shirt.”
“Oh.”
“Let’s go in. I doubt they’ll be around much.”
“Kay.”
They opened the back door quietly and entered through the kitchen. In the lounge room they found George asleep on the couch.
“What time is it?”
“A bit past twelve”
There were two bedrooms in Toms’ house. His, and his parents. Going past Toms’ room they heard voices from inside it.
“Sharnee and Tom are in there.”
“I just want to go to sleep. I’ll sleep in his parents’ room”
“Orrite”
“Come with me.”
“What?”
“Use Toms’ shower, borrow some of his clothes and come sleep beside me. I’ve never been to something like this. I just don’t really want to be alone”
“OK then.”

Mike came into Toms’ parents’ bedroom. Faith sat on the edge of the bed. As Tom entered she stood. He shut the door.
Suddenly they were kissing, grabbing over each other, their hands sliding over each other’s bodies, pulling them together, legs, flesh, sliding over another. Faith pulled back, but this time leaned forward and kissed Mike deeper.
***
Tom, George and Sharnee sat at the table, munching nutra-grain. From the body language visible it was clear George and Sharnee had quite large hangovers, where Tom had either none or a smaller one.
“Where’s Faith an’ Mike?” asked George.
“Home prob’ly,” said Tom.
“That’s not what you said last night,” said Sharnee.
“What did you say last night.”
“I thought, thought, that I saw two people having sex in my parents room.”
“What, like full…”
“Full on.”
“Shit”
“But, y’know, it was prob’ly a hallucination. I have ‘em sometimes. This was probably one of ‘em.”
Toms’ parents’ room opened, and Faith and Mike exited. The entire table turned.
“Morning. You lot OK?” said Faith.
“Yeah.”
“We just got tired outside so we went in that room.”
“OK then.”
“You all oright?”
“Yeah”
“Course”
“Sure”
“OK. You’re looking at us funny.”
There was a slightly uncomfortable silence.
“Oh. Faith. I uh, I’m sorry. For being a bitch last night.”
“It’s… I uh… Don’t worry about it now. In the past.” Sharnee nodded.
As Faith and Mike left, their hands touched and a bunch of stars exploded in their head.
