Firefly Chapter 13

Posted on | April 30, 2008 |

Sundays were free days, Carrie needed to talk to Ray. Ryder understood and didn’t follow them outside. The girls shivered under their light winter coat.
“Ray are you bi or a lesbian?” Carrie began.
“I guess bi but I like women more. I like sex with Bryce. I’d rather have sex with Ryder.”
“Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I was scared that you wouldn’t let us explore. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry. So you liked Michelle?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay.”
“What are you thinking?” Ray asked.
“I don’t know, I just kind of- I really don’t know.”
“Did you like it, Carrie?”
“I like being with Bryce but it was okay with Ryder.”
“Will you do it again?”
“You know I will,” Carrie replied, “we have to share our body, you know. Anyway you did it for me.”
The girls clasped hands and touched heads. They met Ryder at a walking path for their daily smoke. Carrie and Ryder lit up and watched the tinsel smoke hang in the frosty air.
“Everything okay?” Ryder asked.
“Yeah, not a problem,” Carrie said, “what about you?”
“Yeah,” she squeezed Ray’s hand.

Night after night, Ryder joined them in bed. It was a good time for Carrie but Ray felt a lot more. She loved Ryder.  One night Ray told Ryder that she loved her and Ryder said Ray and Carrie and she were soul mates. Ryder said she couldn’t imagine her life without them.
All the girls that did well on the program were given a day in town. Ryder, Ray and Carrie were apart of the good girls. It was the first time in six weeks that they were in the real world. The girls enjoyed their free time together. They sat in a diner and ordered pie and coffee.
“You know I could do this forever,” Ryder said in between mouthfuls of pie.
“Do what?” Ray asked.
“Be with you guys forever. You know Carrie is my best friend and I am in love with Ray. Bryce seems cool. I’m sure we can work it out something. We can all live together. We can go to your town and find a place. What do you think?”
Ray grabbed her hand and stroked it, “you know I’d love it. What do you think Carrie?”
“That’s great because EJ said he’ll live with us too. I wouldn’t mind. Are you sure you want to?”
“I don’t want to go home. My parent’s are assholes. I just love you guys so much, I don’t want to be apart from you.”
Ray soared at the idea of her true love living with her, for once in a life she truly knew what happiness was.
