Karen liked to know what was going on in people's lives, and she liked to know what was going on in some fairly good detail. Some might call that meddling or being nosy, but she called it being an involved caring individual. Especially in the case of people who were close to her, she couldn't help but want to find out all the details of what was going on in their lives. Obviously, that included Andrea, so when it was made apparent that she had gotten laid and that she wasn't going to talk about it on Facebook, she did what any caring sister would do and immediately dialed the older girl up so that she could get the whole scoop on just who her sister was screwing. Plopping back onto her bed, she waited as the phone rang, wondering if she'd pick up right away or if she'd have some misguided thought that she might be able to get out of this, because that certainly wasn't going to happen and if she had to call Andrea fifty times before she picked up, she'd do it. That's how much she cared about the goings on of her life.

It was almost a miracle that Andrea was getting some quiet time right now. Heather had pestered her pretty consistently all day yesterday, although she had given her practically every detail imaginable without getting to an uncomfortable level. Honestly, there was nothing left she could confide into the other girl short of exact size and girth, and seeing as she really hadn't spent that much time caring about taking out a tape measure, she couldn't even provide her accurate information on the matter. Not that she could see why Heather would even be interested in that kind of detail, seeing as it related to her good friend whom she had never displayed any physical attraction toward and had a very platonic relationship with. At some point, she'd told her to just go bug Zane if she was still craving more - and unfortunately for the other guy, she had taken her up on it. Today had gone a lot smoother though, but of course, she should have anticipated that it wouldn't last. It took about two seconds, as her phone started ringing, to recognize the ringtone as the one she'd set for her youngest sister - and then another one to figure what she was calling for. The temptation not to pick up was strong, but she knew Karen. There would be no peace today until she picked up. Giving a sigh as she grabbed her phone and swiped to answer, bringing the phone to her ear. "Hey Karen," she greeted the other girl.

It probably wouldn't be a surprise to Andrea that Karen was calling, she knew her sister, after all, and therefore should have been expecting her to get on the phone with her to hear everything for herself. Andrea's love life had always been more interesting than Emily's to hear about anyway - since Andrea sort of had one and Emily's had been flat for so long on top of her not being one to talk about personal matters. So when the older girl picked up the phone with a simple hey in a tone that showed she was not impressed, Karen couldn't help but give a sigh. And although she couldn't see it, she was also shaking her head. For some reason she had a feeling this wasn't going to be a freely flowing conversation by any means, more like a tooth extraction where she'd have to pull out all the information from her unwilling sister. "Don't just hey me," she said. "I need details, pronto. Who'd you screw and when? And how'd it happen? I wasn't even aware you were considering potential sex partners. I need details here, Andrea."

Andrea wasn't surprised at all that Karen jumped right into the topic of conversation she'd called to discuss, not even bothering with a greeting. Rolling her eyes as she basically demanded details right away about who she'd had sex with, when, and how it'd happened. "Okay, first of all, I don't necessarily consider sex partners. Sometimes, I just have sex, Karen," she told her with a shake of her head. "Just because I don't date that much, doesn't mean I want to be sexually frustrated all the time. And I really don't need to be telling you each and every time I get laid," she went on. "Secondly, you don't know the guy, so there's really no point in giving details. I don't know why you even want details," she spoke with a sigh. "Like, I had sex with a guy. What's the big deal? Can't we just leave it at that?" she asked. She wasn't really hopeful that Karen would take that as an overall answer for the questions she'd asked, but it was still worth a try. Besides, it wasn't exactly a lie. She didn't know Zane per say. She'd vented a bit about him to her younger sister before, but that didn't constitute her knowing him.

Karen was used to people not opening up to her right away - with the exception of Shane, who readily told her everything and anything and with whom she exchanged her own thoughts and feelings - so when Andrea decided to try and give excuses for the reasons why she wasn't about to give details, Karen just shook her head and waited for her to get finished. Like this was going to keep her from demanding more information just because she didn't know the guy and her big sister didn't want to talk about it with her. "No we can't leave it at that," she answered, quite simply. "Listen, the fact that you're fighting telling me so much about this means that there's definitely something interesting to tell and I'm not going to rest until I've heard it all. So, where did you find this mysterious hook up? I know you aren't out clubbing and I find it hard to imagine that someone went up to you at work and asked if you wanted to shack up." Not because it was out of the realm of possibility that people would hit on Andrea at work, but that she knew the other girl and she would not say yes to such an advance.

It wasn't like Andrea didn't know the kind of person Karen was. If she was willing to come up with a plausible way to get Thomas and Emily practically naked and locked up in a room together, she wouldn't give up any time soon as far as getting more details from her night went. However, that didn't mean she wanted to tell her everything, and she especially did not want to get her started on the who. She would give her some information at the end of the day, but she planned on doing it little by little, and hopefully Karen would get bored with that before too long. Raising an eyebrow slightly as the other girl said they couldn't leave it at that, adding that the fact that she was fighting telling her things meant there was something interesting to tell. "Or maybe there's nothing interesting to tell, so I don't see a point in sharing any of it," she pointed out. "And I do go out to clubs once in a while," she added matter-of-factly. Not as often as Heather did, but still, sometimes. "But for all the good it'll do to tell you this, we had a party for Heather's birthday, and he was one of the guests," she told her. That was innocent enough information, and pretty vague at that - there had been a lot of guys in the apartment that night.

Determination wasn't something that Karen lacked in any measure and right now she was pretty damn determined to get the story out of Andrea to find out why she didn't want to share it. There had to be something scandalous involved and she was going to figure it out. "Mmmhmm," she responded sarcastically as her sister tried to say that there was nothing interesting so there was no point in sharing it. More like, if there was nothing interesting there'd have been no point in hiding it, but she wasn't about to start that argument just yet. She'd wait it out until the time was right to do so. Once she'd admitted that it was a guy from Heather's birthday party her interest peaked a bit higher. "Oh, so you hooked up with one of Heather's friends," she repeated. "That's an interesting choice. You're going to be cool with running into him again if he comes over to hang out at the apartment or whatever? Also, how did you even end up deciding to hook up with a guest at your friend's birthday party? Has this attraction been going on for a while?"

Andrea knew telling Karen where exactly she'd started things up with Zane would give her something to go off of, but it wasn't nearly enough to actually figure it all out. However, it might just keep her distracted for a moment as she tried to piece it all together, and really, that was what Andrea wanted here. Time gain. Maybe at some point she'd be able to get her off the phone on the mere basis that they both had better things to do at this point - in spite of the fact that it hadn't been in the plans for today, she did have some laundry that needed to be done, and she'd have to get started on dinner sooner or later. She might just make it sooner. "For one thing, he doesn't come around that much when I'm around," she told her as her younger sister asked if she'd be cool just running into her hook up whenever he came over to hang out. "And it just happened. There was definitely nothing going on beforehand, I think we were just both pretty buzzed, and we found ourselves alone and close and it just happened," she said with a shrug. There was definitely a lot more truth than anything else to what she was saying, so there really wasn't much reason for Karen not to believe her.

From what Karen knew of her older sister she was surprised that the other girl had hooked up with her best friend's friend just because they'd been buzzed. Which was a pretty weak excuse because everyone knew being buzzed wasn't the same as being drunk in the slightest and though it could alter your judgement a little, it wasn't a game changer. So she was clearly just going to have to keep pushing until she hit the truth. "Okay, buzzed is not drunk, so there had to have been some attraction there beforehand otherwise you would have had to have been way more uninhibited to drop your panties," she said, explaining this sadly because it was sad that she should have to be the one telling it to the older girl. "Secondly, just how did you and this friend end up alone and close? Obviously Heather didn't arrange it based on her comments on your status, so if there really wasn't any planning involved on your part then you've got some more explaining to do. It'd be easier if you just told me the whole story instead of trying to edit it."

If she was completely honest, Andrea didn't very often keep things from Karen. Not that she also confided everything in the younger girl, but if her sister asked her something, she didn't typically find it necessary to not give her an answer. However, the thing here was she had actually vented to her about Zane before, and she could already foresee what her reaction might be if she found out that he was the guy she'd had sex with the previous night. As such, she really did not want her to find out - but the more she talked, the more she was aware that she was very much likely to keep pushing until she got an answer out of her. It was tempting to just give in so that the conversation could end sooner, but at the same time... she just really didn't want to. Shaking her head a bit as she listened to Karen talk, rolling her eyes as she concluded by saying that it'd be easier to tell her the whole story. "First of all, you don't need the whole story," she pointed out to her. "And I never said Heather arranged it or even hinted at it. He just didn't feel like going out clubbing, and neither did I, so I stayed back when everybody else started leaving, and he stayed to help with some of the cleaning," she said. "And then when I was done putting the alcohol away, which he was handing me, I slipped off the chair, he caught me, that caused closeness, and things just went from there."

Karen rolled her eyes when Andrea told her that she didn't have to tell her the whole story because she was pretty confident that the older girl did tell her most things, especially things that she specifically asked about. Hell, she was sure that she knew more about what happened in her personal life than Emily did - though maybe that was because Andrea knew that Emily wasn't always the best person to tell things to if you wanted reactions. Luckily, it seemed that she realized the hopelessness of trying to hold out things and told her the story. Or well, an outline of the story, which for the moment, was good enough in her books. "So this guy is either a gentleman, kind enough to just help clean up after his friend at not even his apartment, and then was luckily enough to have his good guy ways help him get laid after he is further good to you," she suggested. "Or, he used the guise of staying after to help clean so that he could have some alone time with you and was just so presented the perfect opportunity to get closer and took it. Which one is it?"

Andrea was glad that her question seemed to have momentarily steered Karen away from the issue of the 'who' she had been having sex with, and she kinda hoped it would stay that way until she had to hang up. Figuring if she indulged her for maybe five or ten more minutes, that might be enough time to then change the subject to something less personal, and finally bring a close to the conversation. She did have to keep herself from making a comment at the suggestion that Zane was a gentleman - not that she thought of him as a jerk anymore, he was a nice guy and a polite and helpful one at that, but still, gentleman seemed to be pushing it a little. "It's definitely not the latter," she said with a shake of her head, because the idea that this had been Zane's plan all along was so risible that even Heather wouldn't buy it, and she was definitely trying to push for a repeat of the events. "But I don't really know that I'd refer to him as a gentleman either," she added, to which Heather gave a loud snort from across the living room, causing Andrea to grab the nearest cushion off the couch and throw it at her roommate.

Karen was hoping the more that she pressed the more details her sister would let slip. However, it didn't really seem to be working at the moment. Which meant that she'd just have to keep at it until she had the proper amount of information pertaining to the other girl's newest sexcapade. Hearing her disagree with both possibilities of what the guy was like had her raising her eyebrow, not missing what sounded like a snort that likely came from Heather after Andrea denied the guy being a gentleman, though if it was because she agreed or disagreed that would be another question. "Okay then, so tell me about this guy," she answered. "If he's not just gentlemanly enough to help you out but also wasn't just trying to get into your pants, where does he fall on the scale?" Besides obviously extremely fortunate that he decided to take the time to help at this point instead of any other. Honestly, she wasn't buying that he didn't fit either of the descriptors, it simply didn't seem like it was possible to not be either.

Andrea really hoped this wasn't what the most of her day would consist of. She'd already had to deal with Heather badgering her with questions practically ever since the moment they had found themselves alone, and she hadn't even let herself get distracted by Andrea questioning her own hook up, in spite of the fact that she had gotten a rather dreamy look on her face for a couple of seconds before shaking her head and accusing her of trying to change the subject. Now that she finally had had a bit of peace and quiet from her roommate though, her sister had decided it was the right time to call. Shaking her head a bit as Karen asked her to tell her about the guy, asking where he fell on the scale if he wasn't a gentleman but not just trying to get in her pants. "He's... just a nice person, I guess," she told the younger girl with a light sigh. "Everybody was heading out, he saw me start to clean up the mess, he didn't think I should take care of it on my own when the party had been for Heather's benefit. He's a decent person, that's the end of the story," she tried to put a bit more emphasis on the last few words as she spoke them.

To Karen the reluctance that Andrea was showing on telling her the whole story was just pushing her to continue her questioning. Honestly, after being sisters with her for so long, she would have thought that the older girl would have known better by now than to think that she'd just let an issue go without a satisfactory result. Though, if she continued to try and block her out she might just have to go ahead and message her roommate to get all of the dirty details. Although the older girl couldn't see it, she raised an eyebrow as she conceded that he was a nice person, 'she guessed', and started to explain what had happened once more. "Just so you know, I don't believe you and I will get to the bottom of this one way or another," she vowed. "You can either help me out or you can delay the inevitable. Whatever you're hiding though, when I find out, I'll call you back and go over it with you. So if you want to put this behind you right now instead of dragging it out, you can do yourself a favor and tell me. If not, I'll call you back later."
