Chapter Eight (CONT.)
Morgan ran down the quad, her backpack swaying back and forth with each leap she took.  She knew that third time against the towel rack would be risky (for both herself and the towel rack), but she didn�t know how close it would cut into her schedule.  She had only two more minutes to get to class.  Finally, about fifty yards or so, she could see the red brick entrance of McCarty Hall in the distance.  Morgan sighed in relief as she thrust open the large, oak doors, and headed for the lecture hall.  Crap. Clarke had already started class.  She quickly scanned the large room until finally, in the far left corner, she spotted Lauren waving her over. 

Morgan quickly tiptoed towards her friend, then slumped down in the seat next to her.  �Hey,� she whispered, her voice totally out of breath. 

�Hey, I thought you weren�t coming at first.  Where were you?�

�At home.  I overslept,� said Morgan, rummaging through her bag for her reading glasses.

Morgan could feel Lauren�s stare on her as she started scribbling down notes.  �What?  Stop looking at me like that.�

�Oh my god,� Lauren squealed, desperately trying to keep her voice down. 

�What?�  Morgan finally looked up from her notebook. 

�You had sex this morning!�

�You�re a complete psycho,� she muttered as she continued on with her work. 

�Uh, try a complete psychic instead.  Hello?  Are you even listening to me?�  Lauren poked Morgan in the arm with her pen. 

�Yes, I�m listening.  And you have absolutely no evidence that I had sex.�

�Okay, first of all, you are hardly ever late to class.  Secondly, when you are occasionally late, you never shower.  And by the wrinkles on your fingers and the dampness of your hair, it�s pretty obvious you did.  And for the topper, you smell of raunchy, sweaty, SEX!� she retorted, waiting for Morgan�s reply. 

�How can I smell of sex?� Morgan asked as she rolled her eyes. 

�I don�t know, but you just do.  You smell like, spunkier and saltier and manlier or something.  Aha!  Look!  I see you smiling.  Okay, that�s it, it�s kiss and tell time.�

�Alright, I admit it, I had sex.  Incredible sex,� whispered Morgan, who was now smiling from ear to ear. 
�And where did this smut take place?�

�My house.�

�At what time?�

�Late last night and three times this morning.� 

�Holy shit, when you want some, you really want some,� Lauren mused as she started to giggle. 
�Okay, and last question, who was the wild stallion that rocked your world?�

Morgan blushed about ten shades of crimson.  �Umm�I guess you could call him an old friend of  Olympic caliber.�

Lauren�s eyes grew to the size of dinner plates.  �No way�it can�t be..�

Morgan slowly nodded her head.  �Yes, it can be, and it was, and it will be for the next two weeks to come.�

�And so, what did the infamous fuck buddies do last night that caused about this change?�

�Well, it was kind of spontaneous.  We went to Brian�s for dinner, then played some basketball, but the whole time, you could tell there was a lot of sexual tension.  Anyway, later last night, after Apolo took me home, he just kind of, showed up at my door.  Then we went at it to say the least.  You wouldn�t believe it, Laur, it was so beautiful.  There�s just no words to describe it all.�

Lauren shook her head.  She was having a hard time believing what she just heard.  Morgan, her friend from third grade detention, was banging America�s son on skates.  Priceless. 

�Morg, I�m happy you�re happy, but just be careful.  Don�t hurt yourself, alright?�

She picked up her pen and began writing again.  �It�s just some harmless sex.  He�s a big boy, and I think he knows the difference between this and the L-word.�

�I trust that he does.  But do you?� 

�Yes,� she said, her voice almost inaudible, as she refused to look up from her notebook.
