Chapter 9: Juicy Drama
As Innana continued to bombard the couple with questions, Anya answered most of them, providing details about their conversation and how Jessica had confessed her feelings.
But when Innana asked if Jessica was the one who was "bottoming" in the relationship, Jessica finally spoke up, a hint of defensiveness in her voice.
"Hey, I'm not the one at the bottom role, at least not yet," Jessica said, a small smile playing on her lips.
Liesl and Sophia, who had been watching the exchange with interest, couldn't help but burst out laughing at Jessica's response.
"Oh, snap!" Liesl exclaimed, grinning at Sophia. "I didn't think Jessica had it in her."
Sophia chuckled, shaking her head. "I know, right? I'm impressed."
Innana, however, was not deterred. She continued to press for more information, asking about their plans for the future and how they saw their relationship unfolding.
As the conversation continued, Liesl and Sophia found themselves relaxing and enjoying the juicy drama that was unfolding before their eyes. They had been worried about how Innana would react, but now they were just happy to be along for the ride.
"I have to admit, I'm a little surprised," Liesl said, turning to Sophia with a grin. "I didn't think Jessica had feelings for Anya, but I'm glad she does."
Sophia nodded in agreement. "Yeah, me too. I think they make a cute couple."
Innana, who was still questioning the couple, overheard their conversation and turned to them with a smile.
"You two are enjoying this, aren't you?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
Liesl and Sophia nodded in unison, grinning at each other.
"Guilty as charged," Liesl said, chuckling.
Innana laughed, shaking her head. "Well, I'm glad someone is enjoying this. I'm just trying to get to the bottom of things."
As the conversation continued, it was clear that this was just the beginning of a wild and dramatic ride. And Liesl and Sophia were happy to be along for the ride, enjoying the juicy drama and romance that was unfolding before their eyes.
After an hour of intense questioning, Liesl finally held up her hands, signaling for Innana to stop. "Okay, enough, cut them some slack please," she said with a smile.
Innana looked like she was about to protest, but Liesl's firm tone and gentle smile made her back down. "Fine, fine," she said, grinning mischievously. "But I'm not done yet. I'll be back for more information."
As Innana stepped back, Anya showed a surprising display of assertiveness by reaching out and taking Jessica's hand. The gesture was simple, but it spoke volumes about their relationship.
Sophia's eyes melted at the sight. "Awww, so sweet," she cooed, smiling at the couple.
Liesl and Sophia exchanged a knowing glance, and the three of them seemed to come to a silent agreement. They would give the couple some space and let them enjoy their time together.
From now on, the trio made a conscious effort to give Anya and Jessica more time together. They would often excuse themselves from group activities, allowing the couple to have some alone time.
As they walked away, Innana turned to Liesl and Sophia and whispered, "I'm still watching them, though."
Liesl rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "I'm sure you are, Innana. But let's just give them some space, okay?"
Sophia nodded in agreement. "Yeah, let's not be too nosy. They need some time to figure things out."
Innana grinned, but ultimately agreed to back off. For now, at least.
As the news of Anya and Jessica's relationship spread, the three older immortals - Innana, Liesl, and Sophia - found themselves engaged in heated debates about the couple's dynamics.
One of the most debated topics was whether Jessica would lose her longevity habits now that she was in a relationship with Anya. Innana was convinced that Anya's carefree and reckless nature would rub off on Jessica, causing her to abandon her strict health and wellness routine.
"I give it a month before Anya has Jessica eating pizza and drinking beer every night," Innana said with a smirk.
Liesl, on the other hand, was adamant that Jessica's good habits would influence Anya to become more health-conscious. "Jessica's too disciplined to let Anya's bad habits rub off on her," Liesl argued.
Sophia, meanwhile, was more concerned about the power dynamics in the relationship. "Who's top and who's bottom?" she asked, a mischievous glint in her eye.
Innana snorted. "Oh, please, it's obvious that Anya's the top. She's always been the more dominant one."
Liesl shook her head. "I don't think so. Jessica's got a lot of confidence and assertiveness. I think she's the one who's really in charge."
The debates continued, with the three older immortals dissecting every aspect of Anya and Jessica's relationship. They analyzed their body language, their conversations, and even their fashion choices.
But amidst all the speculation, one question kept coming up: how could two tomboys become a couple? It was a question that puzzled even the three older immortals, who had seen their fair share of relationships over the centuries.
"I just don't get it," Innana said, shaking her head. "They're both so...masculine. How do they even...you know?"
Liesl chuckled. "Well, I think it's cute. They're like two peas in a pod."
Sophia smiled. "And they're happy, which is all that matters."
As the debates raged on, the dynamics of the two social circles began to shift. The three older immortals found themselves spending more time together, discussing and dissecting every aspect of Anya and Jessica's relationship.
Meanwhile, Anya and Jessica were blissfully unaware of the commotion they had caused. They were too busy enjoying each other's company, exploring the city, and laughing together.
As the days turned into weeks, the two social circles began to drift apart. The three older immortals became more and more entrenched in their debates, while Anya and Jessica continued to live their lives, free from the scrutiny and speculation of their friends.
But despite the distance between them, the two groups were connected by a common thread: their fascination with the unlikely couple that had brought them all together.
As the debates continued, more clues began to emerge that shed light on the question of "who's the top?" in Anya and Jessica's relationship.
One day, Innana noticed that Anya was wearing a bold, black leather jacket that she had never seen before. "Where did you get that jacket?" Innana asked, eyeing the jacket with interest.
Anya smiled mischievously. "Jessica gave it to me. She said I looked hot in it."
Liesl raised an eyebrow. "That's interesting. I didn't know Jessica had a thing for leather jackets."
Sophia chuckled. "I think it's more than just a fashion statement. I think it's a sign of who's really in charge in that relationship."
Innana's eyes lit up with excitement. "Oh, you think so? You think Jessica's trying to assert her dominance over Anya?"
Liesl shook her head. "I don't know, Innana. I think it's just a sweet gesture. But if you want to read more into it, be my guest."
As the conversation continued, more clues emerged that suggested Jessica might be the more dominant partner in the relationship. Anya was seen wearing more feminine clothing, and her hair was styled in a more elegant, sophisticated way.
Jessica, on the other hand, seemed to be embracing her masculine side more and more. She was seen wearing baggy jeans and oversized shirts, and her hair was styled in a messy, piecey way.
But just when it seemed like the question of "who's the top?" had been answered, Anya would do something that would completely throw everyone off. She would make a bold, confident move, or say something that would leave Jessica blushing and speechless.
It was clear that the dynamics of their relationship were complex and multifaceted, and that neither Anya nor Jessica was willing to be pigeonholed into a specific role.
As the three older immortals continued to observe and speculate, they couldn't help but be drawn in by the intrigue and excitement of it all. Who was the top, and who was the bottom? Only time would tell.
Liesl was walking by Anya's room when she accidentally caught a glimpse of something that made her raise an eyebrow. She saw the wet sheets on Anya's bed, and her mind immediately started racing with possibilities.
She couldn't help but wonder who was the culprit behind the wet sheets. Was it Anya, or was it Jessica? And what exactly had happened to cause the sheets to get wet in the first place?
Liesl's curiosity was piqued, and she found herself lingering outside Anya's room, trying to get a better look. She didn't want to be nosy, but she just couldn't help herself.
As she stood there, she couldn't help but think about the conversations she had with Innana and Sophia about Anya and Jessica's relationship. They had all been speculating about who was the top and who was the bottom, and now Liesl couldn't help but wonder if she had stumbled upon some kind of evidence.
She knew she shouldn't be thinking about this, but she just couldn't help herself. She was curious, and she wanted to know more.
As she stood there, trying to make sense of what she had seen, Liesl heard a noise coming from inside the room. She quickly moved away from the door, not wanting to be caught snooping.
She walked back to the living room, trying to act nonchalant, but her mind was still racing with possibilities. She couldn't help but wonder what was going on between Anya and Jessica, and she couldn't wait to share her discovery with Innana and Sophia.
But as she sat down on the couch, she couldn't shake off the feeling that she had just stumbled upon something private and personal. She felt a little guilty for snooping, and she knew she had to be more careful in the future.
Despite her reservations, Liesl couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and curiosity. She had stumbled upon a mystery, and she was determined to get to the bottom of it.
Detective Liesl was on the case, determined to get to the bottom of the mystery of the wet sheets. She had read too many Agatha Christie novels to let this one go unsolved.
She decided to start by collecting alibis from both Anya and Jessica, separately, of course. She didn't want them to have a chance to coordinate their stories.
First, she approached Anya, who was sitting on the couch, reading a book. "Anya, can I have a word with you?" Liesl asked, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.
Anya looked up from her book and raised an eyebrow. "What's up, Liesl?"
Liesl smiled sweetly. "I was just wondering where you were between, say, 10 pm and midnight last night?"
Anya thought for a moment before responding. "I was in my room, sleeping. I went to bed early because I had a long day yesterday."
Liesl nodded, taking mental note of Anya's alibi. "Okay, thanks. And did you hear anything unusual coming from outside your room during that time?"
Anya shook her head. "No, nothing. I slept like a rock."
Liesl thanked Anya and moved on to Jessica, who was in the kitchen, making herself a sandwich. "Jessica, can I ask you something?" Liesl asked, trying to sound casual.
Jessica looked up from her sandwich-making and raised an eyebrow. "What's up, Liesl?"
Liesl repeated the same question she had asked Anya, and Jessica thought for a moment before responding. "I was in my room, working on my laptop. I had a project due today and I was trying to meet the deadline."
Liesl nodded, taking note of Jessica's alibi. "Okay, thanks. And did you hear anything unusual coming from outside your room during that time?"
Jessica shook her head. "No, nothing. I was too focused on my work to notice anything."
Liesl thanked Jessica and went back to her detective work. She sat down at the kitchen table, sipping a cup of coffee and thinking about the alibis she had just collected.
As she thought, she realized that both Anya and Jessica had given her suspiciously vague alibis. They had both claimed to have been in their rooms, alone, during the time in question. But Liesl knew that they were both clever girls, and she wasn't buying their stories.
She decided to dig deeper, to see if she could find any inconsistencies in their alibis. And as she dug, she discovered something interesting.
It turned out that Anya's laptop had been used during the time she claimed to have been sleeping, and Jessica's project had been finished hours before she claimed to have been working on it.
Liesl's eyes widened as she realized the truth. Anya and Jessica had both been lying to her, and they had both been in each other's company during the time in question.
The game, as they say, was afoot. Liesl was hot on the trail of the truth, and she was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery of the wet sheets.
Liesl walked into the living room, where Sophia was sitting on the couch, reading a book. Liesl had a mischievous grin on her face, and Sophia could tell that she was up to something.
"Sophia, I have some news," Liesl said, barely containing her excitement.
Sophia looked up from her book, a mixture of curiosity and wariness on her face. "What is it, Liesl?"
Liesl sat down next to Sophia on the couch, a conspiratorial look on her face. "I've been investigating the mystery of the wet sheets," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Sophia's expression changed to one of unease, disgust, and puzzlement. "Liesl, what are you talking about? And why are you so interested in this?"
Liesl leaned in, a gleam in her eye. "I've been collecting alibis from Anya and Jessica, and I think I've found some inconsistencies in their stories."
Sophia's eyes widened in shock. "Liesl, what are you doing? This is none of our business. And besides, why are you enjoying this so much? It's not like you to be interested in this kind of... childish play."
Liesl shrugged, still grinning. "I don't know, Sophia. I just find it fascinating. And I have to admit, I'm a little curious about what's going on between Anya and Jessica."
Sophia sighed, shaking her head. "Liesl, I don't know what to say. Part of me wants to tell you to stop this nonsense, but another part of me is curious to see where this will lead."
Liesl's grin widened. "So, you're not going to stop me?"
Sophia hesitated, then shook her head. "No, I won't stop you. But be careful, Liesl. This could get messy."
Liesl nodded, still grinning. "Don't worry, Sophia. I'll be careful. And I'll make sure to keep you updated on my progress."
Sophia rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but chuckle. "I have a feeling that I'm going to regret this."
Liesl just laughed, and continued with her investigation, determined to get to the bottom of the mystery of the wet sheets. Sophia watched her go, a mixture of amusement and concern on her face. She wasn't sure what to make of Liesl's newfound interest in detective work, but she was willing to let her friend continue with her adventures, at least for now.
Liesl was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery of the wet sheets. She had been investigating for days, gathering clues and piecing together the evidence. And finally, she had found the irrefutable proof she needed to solve the case.
It was a small, seemingly insignificant detail that had caught her attention. A tiny droplet of water on the edge of the bed, just above the spot where the wet sheets had been. Liesl had noticed it earlier, but hadn't thought much of it. But now, as she examined it more closely, she realized that it was the key to the whole mystery.
The droplet of water was not just any ordinary droplet. It was a tiny, shimmering bead of liquid that seemed to be reflecting the light in a peculiar way. And as Liesl looked closer, she saw that it was surrounded by a faint, almost imperceptible ring of soap scum.
Liesl's eyes widened as she realized the significance of what she was seeing. The soap scum was not just any ordinary soap scum. It was a specific brand, one that she knew Jessica used.
And then, it all clicked into place. Liesl remembered the conversation she had with Jessica earlier, about how she had been working on a project late at night. But Liesl had noticed that Jessica's laptop had been closed, and her project had been finished hours earlier.
It was all a ruse, Liesl realized. Jessica had been trying to cover her tracks, to make it seem like she had been working on her project when in reality, she had been...well, doing something else entirely.
Liesl's mind was racing as she pieced together the evidence. She had found the proof she needed, and it was irrefutable. Jessica was the one who had wet the sheets, and she was the bottom.
But as Liesl sat there, staring at the evidence, she realized that she couldn't share it with anyone. It was too private, too personal. She couldn't betray Jessica's trust like that.
So Liesl made a decision. She would keep the evidence to herself, and let the mystery remain unsolved. At least, to everyone else.
As she sat there, a small smile playing on her lips, Liesl felt a sense of satisfaction. She had solved the mystery, and she had done it without revealing anyone's secrets.
And as she stood up to leave, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. She had proven to herself that she was a true detective, one who could solve even the most difficult cases.
But as she walked away, she couldn't help but wonder what other secrets lay hidden, waiting to be uncovered.
The three of them sat in the living room, flipping through fashion magazines and discussing the latest trends. Liesl, Jessica, and Anya were all fashion enthusiasts, and they loved to share their opinions and advice with each other.
"I don't know how Innana gets away with wearing those ridiculous outfits," Jessica said, rolling her eyes. "She looks like she just threw on whatever was nearest to her."
Anya chuckled. "I know, right? And Sophia's not much better. She dresses like she's going to a funeral or something."
Liesl snorted. "Don't even get me started on Sophia's fashion sense. She's got the style of a middle-aged accountant."
The three of them laughed, and Liesl couldn't help but found herself interpreting every little thing they did as evidence of their dynamic. The way Jessica looked at Anya, the way Anya touched Jessica's arm, it all seemed to confirm Liesl's theory.
But despite her self-fulfilling bias, Liesl was still happy to offer advice and guidance to the couple. When they asked her for tips on how to dress up for a special occasion, Liesl was more than happy to help.
"Okay, so what's the occasion?" Liesl asked, leaning forward in her seat.
Anya thought for a moment. "We're going to a dinner party at a friend's house. We want to make a good impression."
Liesl nodded. "Okay, well first of all, you both need to dress to impress. Jessica, I think you should wear something that shows off your curves. Maybe a fitted dress or a skirt and top combo."
---
And as she watched them walk away, Liesl couldn't help but think that she was right about their dynamic. Jessica was definitely the bottom, and Anya was the top.
