Chapter 53-Friends with Benefits

As little girls Starr and Katherine grew up jumping rope, having tea parties and they played with their Barbie dolls together. One might say they were actually close but that was until they hit middle school. This is when the two went their separate ways. Katherine was always the model student and was transferred to the honors class, while Starr became tight with the popular crowd.  By the time they entered high school they were two different people on two different paths, had they not been family they wouldn't have even associated with one another ever again.

After the incident, the relationship between these two cousins went from bad to worse.  Starr wasn't affected to much, in fact she was pleased with the events that had taken place.  As far as she was concerned Spencer was hers, even if they were not exclusive.

Katherine was another story, she hid in her room just to hide her anger from Starr and her heartbreak from Spencer. Seeing them lying together naked in that bed knowing what they must have been doing the night before was too much for her heart to take.  The flashbacks of that moment would stay with her for a very long time.  She found it difficult to concentrate on her studies and the stress it brought out the inner beast inside of her.

Starr knew this was eating Katherine up inside, why else would she be a wolf when it wasn't a full moon. Katherine hated the curse she inherited from her father and she only transformed when it was a full moon or she had no other choice.   This presented the perfect opportunity for Starr to rub some salt into the wounds.

Starr: I  hope you are not too upset about the other day.  I know it was embarrassing for me that you found us au naturale in bed.

Katherine: Embarrassing for you?  You run around here all the time in your birthday suit.  I have seen your bare ass more times than I care to.

Starr:  I'm an artist and the beauty of the human body doesn't embarrass me, it was the fact that you caught us after a wild night of woohoo.  I know we haven't had much times for some girl talk lately but Oh my God is Spencer something else in bed.  We have a date tonight and I plan on waking up with him tomorrow morning.  I would promise that we will try to be quiet, but I'm not sure that is a promise I can keep.

Katherine knew Spencer wasn't hers but the thought of him being with Starr sent a jealous rage through her.  She planned to sleep on the couch in front of the TV that night which was far out of listening distance.  Graduation would be here soon so all she would have to do is continue to hide from both of them and she would be fine.

There was one problem with Katherine's plan and that was Spencer.  He thought of Katherine as a good friend and she was giving him the cold shoulder.  He understood the embarrassment she must have felt as he felt the same.  No matter what he didn't want to lose her friendship so he thought it best to try and reach out to her.

Spencer: Katherine the door is locked, can I come in to talk with you?  Just for a moment.

Katherine: I'm not decent

Spencer: Throw something on Katherine, we really need to talk.  I'm not going away until you open the door.

Katherine knew she had no choice but to face him, so she unlocked the door and let him in.

Spencer:  I know we are all feeling a little awkward about the other day.

Katherine:  Awkward is not the word I would use to describe it, but I will go with that for now.

Spencer:  Well it was not the best way for you to find out that Starr and I have taken our friendship to another level, but you had to know that would happen sooner or later.

Katherine: Friendship? Aren't you a little more than friends with her now?  I thought you were in love with her.

Spencer:  I do love her more than she will ever know and I always will, but this is not the right time. We are all going to graduate soon and than we will all be going down our own paths.  I'll be enrolling in medical school and than there is my internship to consider, Starr was offered a job as a photo journalist and will be traveling to many different places a serious relationship might not be in the cards for us at this point in our lives.

Starr and I are not exclusive and we are free to date others.  You might say we are friends with benefits for the time being.  I am hoping that when I finish medical school and my internship that might change because I really do love her.

While the two are talking Spencer's phone rang.  Once again Starr was in trouble and whenever she was in trouble she called Spencer.

Spencer:  I'm sorry Katherine but I have to go we will need to finish this conversation later.  I want to remain friends with you and forget the whole incident even happened.  I do hope that is possible.

Spencer:  Will you contact Starr's parents as she has been arrested again and she will need $1,000 to pay the fine.

Katherine:  What she do this time?

Spencer: Most likely street art again, the charge is vandalism. I better get down there before she gets herself into more trouble.

As he leaves his words stay in her mind.  They are not exclusive, he can see others.  Well if that is the case, she planned to stake her claim.

Katherine:  Oh my dear cousin, you have not won, not by a long shot.  However when I land Spencer it will be exclusive and on my terms.  Operation snag Spencer is underway.
