Taking Her In (for Txix-chan)

[zae]

All through high school, Miranda and Rachel had been friends, despite their two-year age gap. For a while, Miranda had basically played the role of older sister to Rachel, and they put up with all of each others' perks.

Once Miranda went to university, that didn't change. They didn't see as much of each other, especially as she was the hard-working type who spent a lot of time on her studies and her course and gaining part-time work as an accountant. But they still spoke regularly.

When Rachel graduated into university, things got better: they could see more of each other, and both were adults, so they could drive, drink (albeit not both at the same time) and party a little.

Unfortunately, that's where it went wrong: partying a little. Rachel ended up partying rather a lot, and ended up going before the exclusions board. Her story of contrition fell on deaf ears: she was rejected, kicked out of the course but told she could try again the following year if she grew up a bit. That also meant having to move out of the uni dorms.

And so it was that Miranda received the knock on her door, blinking a little at the sight.

"Rachel, hi! What's up, you have all your gear with you?"

Rachel Leigh West was always the type of girl to ignore warnings. She was a fiery red-head with a fighting-spirit, a fun-loving attitude, and an obvious problem. You see, Rach was always care-free, even as a little girl. She grew up in a generous, yet firm religious household and unlike most high-schoolers, hadn't the opportunity to experience much hanging out. Her 'hang-outs' were nothing short of after-school clubs or the dance team, and often included regular check-ups by her parents inquiring where she was and if she was there safely. Rach was always friends with the party group, and despite her lack of partying, her parents never trusted who she hung out with.

All but one girl. Miranda played the role of Rachel's peer-mentor when she was a freshman, and the two became fast friends, despite their polar opposite personalities! Her parents loved Miranda's diligence and mannerisms, and usually started conversations with their own daughter by saying: "Why can't you take a leaf out of Miranda's book?" or, "Where are you going? Will Miranda be there?"

Despite it all, Rachel loved her darling best friend, and was quite saddened upon seeing her go for college. However, it wasn't long before the red head attended it as well, and their friendship easily rekindled.

Yet...

Without the guidance of her parents breathing down her neck, Rachel easily got caught up with the wonderful life of a college girl. She partied, she drank, she smoked, she danced, she blacked-out, she skipped class--the list could go on and on. Rachel was on a path of self-destruction, and not even she knew it.

Until, she was recently kicked out of her course upon failing it, in addition to kicked out of her dorms for smoking. She was at a loss--and her only other hope was Miranda. I mean, her parents would send her to a nunnery if they found out about her terrible behavior! Still, Rach wasn't exactly excited about Miranda finding out about her excessive partying either...

Parking her car, Rachel emerged from it, carrying her belongings with her. The redhead knocked not once, not twice, but multiple times, obnoxiously making a little beat with her small fists. Of course, Miranda was surprised as she opened the door--Rachel's general boldness meant she came unannounced.

"Mirandy! Hi!" The eighteen year old chirped, rushing inside to throw her things on the floor. With that done, she turned to hug her best friend, before giggling sheepishly. "Alright so...here's the deal.." The redhead explained, in great detail, how fucked she was and how much trouble she was in.

"So I'm pretty much out of a place to stay. My only other hope is my parents, and they'd totally kill me. So that leaves you of course!" She grinned, heading instantly for the kitchen. "Hey, got any snacks? I smoked a blunt before I came here, like..a 'goodbye dorm' blunt. And now I have the munchies!" If it wasn't clear already, Rachel hardly took anything serious. Despite her failing a course, having to wait until this semester was over to resume, and losing her dorm, the girl seemed quite jovial.

Miranda White always was serious - not boring, but the fact was, she never even wanted to be a party animal. She was a bookworm by choice, a shut-in by choice, and that suited her. Indeed, she kept her house tidy, she studied hard, worked hard, always took things seriously. But as much as she took care of her friend and scolded her on bad behaviour, she did enjoy having fun with her, letting her hair down a little. Rachel made going out fun.

But still, this all hit her as quite the surprise. Given she was at home, she had just been lounging around in track pants and a long shirt, hardly looking her best. But when Rachel threw her arms around her, she was quick to do the same in return, hugging her fiercely. She then sat down and listened, holding Rachel's hands. When the explanation was over, she sighed, and hugged her again.

"Rache... you're a fool sometimes, y'know that? Of course you can stay with me, but you ne- hey!"

And already her friend was heading to the kitchen. Miranda followed her in, flicked the kettle on - it seemed like a proper occasion for tea - and delivered a firm swat to the behind.

"Look, it'll be great for you to move in, however this isn't just another holiday for you, a big old free ride. Hell, at some point I'll probably have to help you lie to your parents about what you're doing, won't I? Living together will be fun, but I'm going to put some rules into place."

Typically a quick-thinker, this was still a little overwhelming so she grabbed for the first idea that came into her head.

"Right. Rachel, here's the deal: you don't have to pay rent and bills, given the situation, but instead, I expect you to do your share of housework and keep this place clean and tidy, not like you normally do. I expect you to try to find a job, and then when you're employed, you can start paying your share of things. You won't be smoking anything in here, and there will be no drugs on the premises.

And finally, your parents aren't going to get their hands on you, but I'll do what they should be doing, what they would do: just for this trouble, you're getting a spanking, young lady. And you can expect a lot more in future any time you get out of line. That's the deal I'm offering."

[Txix-chan]

Rachel was already feeling relieved over her decision in staying with Miranda. The girl really was her big sister, a big mama bear with a heart of gold. However, she was also just as solemn as her parents could be. That didn't mean Miranda didn't like having fun--and the moments where Miranda let slide the serious exterior and indulge in some wholesome fun was Rachel's favorites. The red head always had a crush on her best friend, but was far too apprehensive at Miranda's response if she told her. Instead, the proud bisexual was quite fine in her decisions of remaining 'single' for the time being. That only made hooking up a lot less daunting!

The eighteen year old was so use to her friend, that seeing her in lounging clothing was normal. Hell, Miranda had seen Rachel on several awful occasions sporting messy hair, baggy clothing, and a more often than not--a hangover. But today, Rachel wore a light green, almost see through V neck top, with floral print shorts that easily hugged her curvy bottom. She was just about to raid the fridge when she felt a firm swat to her rear, causing her to jump at the suddenness-- as well as the abrupt sting.

"Ow! Hey!" Rachel frowned, her lightly tanned cheeks a bit flushed as her hands flew to her rear. "Jeez, a little warning sometimes! I know my ass is irresistible but damn!"

Seeing as Miranda was putting on tea, Rachel propped herself on the counter, the petite girl swinging her legs as she listened to the auburn haired girl speak. Typical…Miranda. Rachel tried her best to seem interested, but her focus went on almost everything else. She wondered if she'd get to sleep next to Miranda at night and cuddle, she wondered if Miranda would ever want a kitten--kittens were cute! She wondered how much wood could a wood chuck chuck…and realized the riddle was stupid. In short, Rachel's attention span was her worst enemy!

"You won't be smoking anything in here, and there will be no drugs on the premises."

"Wait…" Rachel snapped out of her reverie, reassessing everything Miranda was saying. Damn, jobs sucked…damn..so did cleaning! And as far as drugs went…

"But Miranda, what am I suppose to do with the rest of it? I can't just throw it away!" She paid a few bucks for the cannabis and she wanted her money's worth! …She had a feeling Miranda would be far less sympathetic, and gave a look of horror when she realized the older girl would probably make her throw it away regardless! That look of horror remained on her face too--because Miranda said the dreaded words.

You're getting a spanking, young lady.

"Wha? Miranda, no way! You..you wouldn't." Something told Rachel her serious friend would do exactly that, and that alone was unnerving! A blush formed on her face at the thought of squirming over her best friend's lap like a toddler. Realizing this was her only choice, that or she could face her parent's wrath, and realizing that she didn't want to leave her best friend's side…Rachel reluctantly decided she'd accept Miranda's terms, even if they were far from appealing. "F-fine..but do you have to spank me right now? Like, I just got here why can't we watch a movie or something?" Her voice was on the verge of whining, and once the eighteen year old realized this, she immediately tried to sound less like a naughty girl trying to avoid punishment.

"Like, don't you miss me?" With that, she gave her friend an adorable bat of her eye lashes, sliding off of the counter top.

[zae]

Miranda didn't know about Rachel's crush on her, but it worked both ways - she also had a crush on her friend, but had never actually come out. Indeed, she hadn't dated *anyone*, nobody ever realised she was gay. That said, Rachel's charm very nearly was working on her.

"Come on Rache, of course I missed you. Until we can get you your own bed it''ll be a long sleep over, I'm afraid. But that will be fun. Yeah, we can watch a movie - wanna' go out or stay in where it's cozy? "

Miranda hugged her friend again... but reached down and patted Rachel's bottom.

"We can handle your spanking before bed tonight."

[Txix-chan]

Rachel had to hide the smirk on her plump lips as she noticed Miranda so easily melted into her arms like putty. A long sleep over? The red-head was completely fine with that, plus...it meant if Rachel copped a feel as they slept, all she'd have to do was pretend she was asleep during it! "Hmm, let's go out! I heard there was going to be a party at Joe's tonight." It had been twenty-four hours, and Rachel was about ready to get wild again.

Feeling Miranda's arms around her, Rachel grinned, hugging her friend back--and tilting her head upon the pats to her butt. In any other circumstance, this would be exceptionally hot. But..her friend planned on giving her a spanking, which was a total buzzkill...

"Seriously Miranda?" Rachel frowned, slowly letting go and pouting slightly. "Alright fine. Whatever. Your house, your rules I guess."

[zae]

Miranda just sighed. Already Rachel was showing that she had no intention of actually changing her ways, she was already looking forward to partying again, all action.

"That's right. We'll have plenty of fun again, but there are rules. And I've already changed my mind - I meant going out to the movies and to a restaurant or something, not partying. So change of plan, I'll call for some pizza, you get changed into your pyjamas, we can get all cozy on the couch with some blankets and put a DVD on, k?"

She decided not to go back to the topic of the drugs yet, but they would eventually have to be dealt with. She wasn't going to put up with the risks involved. Besides, she guiltily admitted to herself, leaving it for another time meant another opportunity to put her friend over her lap for a good spanking.

And so, she looked at the pizza menu on the fridge and dialled the number, already knowing what to get - after all, they could just about finish each others' sentences. Food preferences was an easy one.

[Txix-chan]

Rachel sheepishly ran a finger through her red hair upon hearing Miranda's words, realizing perhaps partying was a little too soon after all...at least, her friend sure thought so! "Alright.." She responded, deciding pizza and a movie did sound quite nice, especially cuddling next to her beautiful best friend. Pyjamas? Her? Rachel's pyjamas were a thong and large t-shirt, but she figured Miranda wouldn't mind too much. They were adults now--even if Rachel hardly acted like one.

The red head gave her a friend a smile. "Alright, I'll put my stuff in your room, be back out in a jiff!" With that being said, she moved her belongings into the bedroom she would now be sharing with the auburn haired girl. After sorting her clothing out, she began to strip, taking off her blouse first before removing her bra. A sigh of relief...as any girl could agree, removing your bra after a long day was absolutely blissful!

Rache wore a baggy t-shirt, a remnant of a crazy night when she woke up in some frat house. They had given her a shirt to leave in the next morning, one of the meatier members no doubt as it was practically a dress on the petite ginger. Sliding down her shorts, she simply wore one of her favorite panties: red and white thong with hearts.

The girl then headed back into the room, giggling as she jumped onto the couch. "This is just like a sleepover! Kinda like old times! What are we gonna watch? I'm in the mood for something scary!"

[zae]

Miranda might have been the eternal "good girl", but even so she couldn't resist looking. Naturally, her friend didn't bother shutting the door, so she peeked, craning her neck to watch Rachel change.

Oh my, a thong, how daring! To snuggle up against her nearly-bare ass...

But when Rachel returned, she was back on the couch, blankets ready.

"Sure thing, I know the horror show for us. Pizza will be here soon, so cuddle up."

[Txix-chan]

Rachel grinned, bundling up against the comfortable blankets as Miranda returned from ordering pizza. "Perfection!" She responded gleefully, waiting for her friend to sit before immediately snuggling up against her. "Thanks again for taking me in Mirandy--you have no idea how happy this makes me. You're the best." With that, Rache leaned over and kissed the girl's cheek, something not entirely new. She was always affectionate, and kissing her friends on the cheek, especially Miranda, was nothing out of the ordinary. Though, Rachel longed to tell her how she felt, she'd have to wait for a more opportune moment.
