Re: Mandy/Tess
This was come-uppance, that's what it was. This was karma kicking Mandy's ass for teasing poor Grant all summer for being so painfully shy. Mandy was shy, but this, right now, was extreme. She had never felt this awkward before. There was something about Tess, something overpowering and intense and just... such raw sexuality. Every word was like foreplay.
"Well, I, um, thanks," she managed to spit out. "I'm not usually like this or anything, I think you just, like, startled me and stuff. Y'know, since I wasn't expecting anyone to talk to me and then you're all sexy and taking my hand and making me dance and I totally wasn't expecting it so that's probably why I seem like I'm kinda nervous but I mean it's not like you scare me or whatever, you're not scary you're just like kind of intense but not like intense like it's a bad thing or anything, you're just..." Mandy bit her lip, giggling nervously. "I'm totally babbling. Sorry. Why don't you talk now, tell me something about you, like... why you picked me to dance with when you could obviously have like anyone you wanted."
