Prof: Note to readers - This chapter contains no sex. It does move the story along and I'm happy to say that from how the outline is looking this will be the only non-erotic chapter.

Chapter 2: Desperate Acts
October 5th, 2010
More than a month had passed since the sibling's kiss. T was busy with school projects once again for the fall semester of his sophomore year. Katie was thankful that he had decided to stay home, instead of moving across the country away from her. They continued their flirting when they hung out, but Katie's seduction had been halted. The pool was closed as well so she had also lost her excuse to be naked in his room, or flaunt her bikini-clad body for him.
Katie was formulating a new plan to come right out and tell T how she felt. There was no way she could wait until it got warmer again to tease him in a swimsuit. She was becoming desperate. Ideas such as allowing him to catch her masturbating in his room to his porn or sneaking into his room to sleep with him at night started to seem like her only options. The problem; she was terrified it would destroy the amazing relationship they already had.
Wearing only a towel, Katie made her way back to her room to finish getting ready. Her best friend was on her way over with a favor to ask. It would have been suspicious if Cassie wasn't already in the habit of making a big deal out of small things. She was a very excitable girl and probably just wanted to share her newest raunchy adventure. Katie always wondered what her friend would think if she knew what she was really like.
"Where you at, bitch?" Katie heard Cassie yell from downstairs.
"Down in a sec!" She yelled back.
Deciding to hurry before Cassie came up; she dropped her towel and headed for her bureau. She quickly put on a tiny black thong that was immediately swallowed by her plump butt cheeks. Grabbing the first pair of pajama pants she saw, she stuffed her prized body part in them at the top. An old green Turtle-Ninja shirt and fuzzy purple socks completed her outfit. She glanced at her full-length mirror before leaving the room to make sure she looked as ridiculous as she thought she did.
Since the siblings were usually downstairs, their close friends would walk right on in through the back door that led to their living room. With no need for stealth, she bounced loudly down the stairs. Cassie had already made herself comfortable in the recliner as Punk savored the attention he was receiving from her. He was possibly the worst guard dog ever as all anyone had to do was show him some love to get into their house. Katie had once walked out of the shower thinking she was alone, to find Simon, T's best friend, enjoying a full breakfast he had made for himself.
"Hey, dude," Katie said as she made her way past Cassie to the futon.
"Ugh, you know I hate it when you call me that. Do I look like a dude?" Cassie asked, faking exasperation.
Cassie did not look like a dude. Three inches shorter than Katie at 5'6, she was a Puerto Rican spitfire. She had curly black hair down to her shoulders and a voluptuous frame. Her ass was almost as big as Katie's, but she didn't have to work hard for it like Katie did. Her boobs were her favorite body part; she always had a generous amount of cleavage showing them off. She was a total geek like Katie, but that only turned her into the sexy librarian type.
Cassie looked at the mismatched outfit her friend had probably worn just to make her laugh. "You think you're being funny, but you still look hot somehow." She winked at her.
"That's just because you have a thing for me." Katie blew her a kiss. "So what's this urgent favor you need of me?"
"Wait, how are things in your world lately? How's my Biffle doing?" Cassie put on a big fake smile.
"Work, video games, repeat. Good times all around. What's up, Cass?" Katie eyed her skeptically.
"First you have to promise to let me finish before you freak out and say no."
"Fuck, Cassie, no. I told you I'm not going out with anyone. Not alone. Not on a double date with you. I'll meet someone my own way." Katie was happy that her friend cared about her but wished she would let her deal with her own love life.
"It's different this time. I promise." Cassie pleaded with her.
"Cass, I don't care if he's a virgin who is only interested in my personality..."
"He's gay."
"Okay, that is different." Katie was thoroughly confused.
"My friend, Alex. I've known him since grade school. He's actually a really awesome guy. I've wanted you two to meet forever."
"So you're trying to set me up with gay guys now?" Katie asked, becoming more confused by the moment.
"It would be a favor for me, but mostly for him. He's in his second year at Harvard Law. A couple months ago, his parents surprised him at his place. His boyfriend broke up with him after they left because he introduced him as his roommate. To make matters worse, his dad's a total homophobe and doesn't fully believe that he is straight. He's threatening to stop paying for him to go to school if he finds out." Cassie unloaded on her.
"Whoa. That is different," Katie thought for a second. "And you can't help him because?"
"His parents know me, and they would only be slightly less disappointed in him dating me than they would if I had a dick," Cassie smirked. She could be a bit of a wild one.
Katie thought hard about the proposition. She supported same-sex marriage and willingly admitted being sexually attracted to women herself. It would be awesome to help Alex screw his parents for being bigots. In a way, she was in a similar situation with her brother. T, however, was also the reason she could not help Alex.
"Cassie, I'm really sorry. I can't help you guys." Katie looked down, ashamed.
"Seriously, even after everything, I told you? Why? I thought you would be so down for this." Cassie was the confused one at that point.
"Shit," Katie thought. She had to tell Cassie something. It had to be good. Part of the truth would suffice. She wished she could come right out and tell her best friend her true feelings.
"Cassie...First off, I'm sorry I can't help. The truth is I am interested in someone." That was the closest she had come to admitting what she wanted. "I'm sorry I never told you about that either. It's...Things are just starting to go where I've wanted lately. If I suddenly have a boyfriend, it would ruin all the progress I've made." Katie gave her the best apologetic look she could muster.
"Oh, you don't think you're going to mention the first time in history you've been interested in someone, without telling me who, do you?" Cassie felt she deserved the whole truth.
