title: Rosemary and Juliet
author: Judy Maclean
description: A sleepoverwhere one wants a best friend, but the other desires more . . . <P>Romey woke with a jerk, and immediately became saturated with wonder. Somehow she had turned the other way, facing the door, and Julie was curled up against her. Julie's arm was around Romey's waist, her knees nested between Romey's calf and thigh, and through Julie's gossamer nightgown and Romey's thin t-shirt, Julie's breasts rested plush and warm against Romey's back. <P>. . . Or had it been a dream? Romey had slept again. Now she was turned toward the window, the same way she'd started the night, facing Julie's back. Outside, leaves fluttered and a distant owl hooted. Romey's muscles urged her to curve her body and circle her arm around Julie, just like Julie held her earlier. Had Julie really done that? And if she had, did Julie know what she'd done? What if Julie woke up, and Romey had to explain how her arm had gotten around Julie? Romey shivered. <P>Julie looked defenseless from behind, small. Romey was strong, she would allow nothing to hurt this tender person, but it was sad to realize what she needed to protect Julie from. It was Romey herself.
