Never Enough - By Ashley Johnson Page 0,40

held the notebook and pen and they were brainstorming. They were basically the masterminds behind the band.

Halley jerked my arm and pulled me into her room. Her bed was messy like it hadn’t been made in forever and a pair of Marcus’s boxers lay on the floor. That was a mental image I didn't need. Immediately I began trying to forget I ever looked down at her floor.

"So, did you..." My smile told her everything she needed to know. "Ohmigod!! How was it?! I want to know everything! Wait scratch the horny details I don't need that!"

"Hales, it was amazing! We've had sex three times since last night. Man, it was heaven." I smiled remembering how amazing he felt inside me. How free it made me feel.

"Hahaha ok you're starting to gross me out! I'm so happy for you. I genuinely truly am."

She hugged me and she must have noticed the boxers because they had flown under the bed. I wasn’t sure if my face had given it away when we walked in, regardless I was glad to see them gone.

Two weeks had passed and Halley and I were sitting around talking sharing our own love stories to each other. Giggling was something we did very well together. The guys never really understood they would just roll their eyes and continue their own little conversations in the corner. They sat on the couch while we were talking. They were talking amongst themselves. We ran into the room for Halley to tell me a story she was too worried Marcus would hear. Something about one night they were having sex and after that I quit listening. Some things even best friends didn’t need to hear. I just nodded and pretended I was listening and actually giving a shit about what she said but it went in one ear and out the other.

We walked back out to the living room and the guys were still on the couch. They were up to something.

Marcus was the first to speak up. "You girls need to get dressed we are going somewhere."

Halley and I exchanged looks and Trevor squeezed my hand. I ran back into my room and straightened a few flyaways in my hair. I kept my jeans and black shirt on I had thrown on that morning and grabbed my black flip flops. Halley walked out as I was. She had her jeans and a pink shirt with brown flip flops. We'd been friends so long we basically dressed alike. Oh well.

Trevor grabbed my hand and we all headed outside. "So where are we going?" I teased, hoping I could get him to at least give me a hint. Wrong, they were locked down tighter than a high security prison.

"It's a surprise Mace. Marcus and I planned this out the other day." So much for that plan. I pouted as we kept walking.

Halley smacked Marcus on the arm for hiding it from her. "What the hell Marcus?" She wanted to know what was going on well before it happened.

"You're going to love it and you'll forgive me." He kissed her cheek and we got in the car.

The weather was just right. The sun was bright and I was glad I grabbed my sunglasses. We rode with the radio on, everyone singing loud and obnoxiously, I don’t even know what was on. It was just so fun. I honestly forgot we were going somewhere until we turned into the zoo.

Wow. I couldn't remember the last time I'd been to the zoo, wait yes I can. I was four years old. Talk about a long time ago. Even Halley's face was lit up.

"Ok Marcus I totally forgive you!" She practically squealed and I couldn't help but laugh. We definitely had two amazing men. We were lucky to have them. I don't remember ever being as happy as I've been. We got out the car and walked up to buy tickets. We all looked like little kids in line waiting to go to the zoo for the first time.

Halley and Marcus went in one direction and Trevor and I went in the other. The monkeys were the first animals we saw. We laughed and tried to talk to them while they swung around their area. I snapped a quick picture with my cell phone. We walked hand in hand and even had someone take a couple of pictures for us in front of some flowers. One picture we were just smiling and in the second he
