Two red lines

Six weeks on, Rufus was certain he was in the clear regarding possible repercussions following the incident with Beth. Because he had feelings for her, which he guessed were now one-sided, when he wasn't throwing himself into his studies, he thought about her, with some regret but a lot of terrific memories of her lovely body.

The knock on the door was unexpected, as was the vision of a defiant looking Beth, flanked by three female friends.

"Oh, hi!" Rufus was surprised and embarrassed.

"Don't invite us in!" demanded Beth, holding up a pregnancy test showing two red lines.
