Second Time Around

CHAPTER 9


It was the weekend before the start of semester two and I was having a hard
time coming to terms with the idea of doing study again.  I remember when I
was a kid and would dread starting a new year of school.  The holidays
would always go to quickly and I would find myself thinking of 101 more
things I could of done during my holidays the night before school went
back.

It was Saturday and while Danny was spending the majority if the day with
her sister, Amy, I had agreed to baby-sit Mark's nephew, Michael.

Michael was four and wasn't exactly the easiest kid to look after.  Mark
had originally agreed to look after him, but got called into work at the
last minute.  I didn't mind keeping an eye on the kid for a few hours, it's
kind of fun - at times.

I've looked after him on a number of occasions, although I hadn't seen him
for roughly five months.

Mark dropped him off just before 11am.

"Hey, Ash" Mark stayed in the doorway and kissed my check "I'm really sorry
about this" he smiled.

"It's alright" Michael walked past me and went inside.

"I owe you one"

"Have a good day.  I'll see you later"

"Bye Ash.  Bye Michael!" Mark made his way down the steps.

I turned around to be faced with Michael a few meters in front of me with
his arms crossed over his chest.  "I'm hungry" He adjusted the red backpack
that was on his back.

"Well hello to you too" I went to take his bag from him.

"No!  You can't touch that"

"Ok" I looked down at him "Why not?"

"Because" He climbed up on a seat at the kitchen table "Can I have some ice
cream?"

"Don't you want a sandwich or something first?"

"No"

"You can't have ice cream for lunch"

"Yes I can"

"No, I don't think you're parents would like that"

"They let me have it all the time"

"But not for lunch though"

"Yeah" He blinked.  Man he was adorable.

"Listen.  How about I make you a sandwich and then afterwards we can go to
the park and get ice cream?"

"Will you push me on the swings?"

"Yep"

"Ok.  Can I have cheese?"

"Sure"

****************************************

After our cheese sandwiches Michael and I walked to the near-by park.
There he found the swings and pulled me over to push him.  15 minutes went
by.

"Do you want to do something else?"  I pushed higher.

"No"

"How about the slide?" I needed a break.

"No.  I like the swing"

"Well, what about that climbing thing over there" I pointed over to my
left.

"No"

"You should probably let some one else have a go" No answer.  I sighed,
"Want some ice cream?"

Michael jumped off the swing "Yeah!  Can I have two scoops?"

"If you think you can eat that much" I followed after him.

"Yeah I can.  I need to go to the toilet"

We headed over to the public toilet block "Ah.  You need me to come in with
you?"

He looked at me like I'd just grown a second head "No.  You're a girl.  You
can't come in the boys toilets"

"Ok, just thought I'd check.  I'll wait here for you"

He looked back at me before going in.  Things were going pretty well I
thought.  I leant against a tree and kicked a few stones around with my
foot as I waited.  A few minutes went passed before Michael came out.  I
was looking in the opposite direction and he tugged on my sleeve to get my
attention.  I looked down at him.  Instead of seeing a boy dressed in jeans
and a blue t-shirt, I was now looking at what looked like a dwarf Batman.
He had exchanged his original clothes for black pants, a black top with a
yellow Batman symbol on the front, a cape and a black mask.  He had his
backpack in his hand and held it up for me to take.

I took it off him and pushed myself back off the tree.  "You still want ice
cream?"

He looked at me blankly "Of course I do" He watched me swing the backpack
onto one shoulder.  "Here" He handed me what looked like another plastic
mask "You're my side- kick" He smiled as he waited for me to take it.

"Ahh.  I don't think red's my colour" He looked annoyed "How about I wait
till we get home"

"You have to wear it now!"

"I think I'm a bit old for this stuff"

"But Mark said you would"

"He did, did he?" Good old Mark.

Michael nodded and ran off towards the ice cream van, his black cape snaked
behind him like a flag in the wind.  I put the mask on my head without
pulling it down over my eyes and ran after him.

********************************************

Back at the house we had made a cubby house under the kitchen table.  Still
sporting our super hero costumes we had draped a sheet over the table and
were now underneath it plotting against out arch nemesis - who ever that
was.

I figured I'd have enough time to clean the mess up before Danny got home.
I adjusted the mask on my face and continued back at my task.  Michael,
sorry, Batman, had assigned me the task of drawing a map and marking all
the possible hideouts of the bad guy.  Oddly enough, part of me was
actually having fun.

On the way home from the park I had merely walked behind Michael as he ran
from parking meter, to tree, to parked car in an attempt to keep himself
hidden from everyone else on the street.  The stares we got were funny.
And I'm glad that we didn't bump into anyone I knew.

With my chin resting on my knees I finished my map and looked over at
Michael who was quietly humming to himself.  My costume had grown since the
park.  Along with my mask I now had a water pistol tucked under my belt and
a walky-talky thing that Michael had made out of paper around my wrist.

"How do you spell 'bad guy'?"

I looked across at him and wrote it down on a separate piece of paper.  His
tongue stuck out as he did his best at coping my writing.

It was now time to act out our plan of attack against the bad guy.  With
Michael's instructions I crawled out from our hide out and slowly crawled
behind the couch.  I watch as Michael made his way around the living room
consulting the map every few seconds.  He signaled for me to stay down, so
I did pulling the pistol from my side.  I lost sight of him as I heard a
key in the door and two voices as it opened.  My eyes widened as the voices
paused.  I figured Danny had seen the kitchen table.

"Ashley?" From the sound of her voice she was on the other side of the
couch.

I got up on my knees "Hi" I smiled.

She stared at me with Amy at her side.  I tapped the pistol against my
thigh about to open my mouth.  Then suddenly Michael appeared from near by,
making firing noises as he formed the shape of a gun with his hand.  Danny
jumped slightly as Michael ran past her and skidded to a halt by my side.
I sat back down as I stopped him from toppling over.

"They knew we were coming!" He yelled at me as he grabbed my arm and tried
to pull me off (I guess to safety).  Giving up he ran and slid under the
table.

I stood up and took off my mask "Hey.  Sorry about that.  Hi Amy"

Danny looked confused.  She looked at me and then at the table.  "Honey?
You had a kid while I was gone or something?"

It took me a few seconds to understand what she was saying 'Ah, no.  Oh
sorry.  This is Michael," I pointed to the table. "Ah.  Michael, I want you
to meet some people" There was no response.  I looked back at Danny "He's
Marks nephew.  He had to go into work and I agreed to look after him"
Michael appeared at my side and I introduced him to Danny and Amy.

"I'm gonna draw" Michael went back under the table.

"Don't worry I'll clean up the mess.  I didn't think you'd be home this
early"

Amy had already sat on the couch and answered, "We decided to come back
here for coffee"

Danny turned the kettle on and then came back over to me.  She lightly
kissed me on the lips before she sat down beside her sister.  I sat too and
listened to what they were saying.

*******************************************

Danny placed a foot on the edge of the bath as she dried her leg with her
towel.  I was sitting on the couch in the living room and with the bathroom
door open I had a good view of what she was doing.  The beads of water on
her back glistened under the bright bathroom light as Danny bent over again
to dry her other leg.  Her hair was wet and fell in heavy locks around her
face and on her shoulders.  She took a step back from the bath and bent
over further.  With her hair now hanging Danny brought the towel to it and
proceeded to dry it.  Her breasts also hung and jerked around as she moved
the towel on her head.  She shifted slightly and her ass came into view.

As she straightened up she noticed me watching.  She smiled and slowly
returned to the task of drying herself looking slightly embarrassed.  She
brought her towel over her back and ass.  I thought about getting up to
help.  Although for once I was enjoying taking a passive role and being a
spectator.  So I stayed where I was.

Danny wrapped the towel around her head, turned off the light and walked
out of the bathroom.  I intercepted her on her path to the bedroom.
Grinning, I ran my hand across her naked stomach and up the side of the
right breast.  Danny brought her hand to my cheek and titled my head up.
Our lips met, but only briefly.

"Sweetie, I have to get ready" Danny's hand was still stroking my cheek.

I sighed, "I know" I kissed her again "I just couldn't resist" I smiled and
moved to her side so she could get into the bedroom.  I followed and lay
down on my side of the bed, folding my hands under my head.

"I shouldn't be too late, ok?" Danny slipped into a pair of lilac panties
and bra.  I just watched.  Her eyes met mine and she smiled "When I get
home I'm all yours"

That brought a smile to my face.  Over the last week both of us had been
very busy, Danny especially with her shifts at the hospital increasing.
Mark had come to pick up Michael over an hour ago.  Amy had left shortly
after.  Danny had gotten in the shower and was now getting ready to go out
with some of her friends from uni for dinner.  I was aching for her touch
and our intimacy, although I knew that would have to wait, at least until
she returned from dinner.

By now Danny had put on some black pants and a light blue shirt.  She then
went back into the bathroom to do her hair and put on some makeup.  While
she did that I went into the kitchen and pulled out a frozen dinner from
the freezer.  I leant on the bench as I read the instructions on the back
of it.

Danny emerged from the bathroom and ran her hands over my back before
hugging me from behind.  She looked over my shoulder to see what I was
doing.

"I should have just told them that I couldn't make it" Danny kissed my neck
"I feel bad about leaving you here by yourself, especially seeing as we
haven't seen that much of each other lately".

I breathed in her perfume "It's alright," I pulled the meal form its box
"you haven't done anything with your friends for awhile" I turned around to
face her, looping my arms around her waist I pulled her onto me "I
understand".

She smiled and we shared a kiss "Thank you" Danny rested her head on my
shoulder as we hugged "I know you don't think its anything, but it means a
lot to me and I really mean it when I say thank you"

"No worries" I rubbed the small of her back with my hand.  We stayed like
that for a few moments before Danny broke the embrace after looking at her
watch.

She grabbed her purse and jacket on her way to the door.

"You look nice" I threw her the car keys.

She smiled "Thanks.  I'll see you later, baby"

*************************************************

After eating my dinner for one, I too had a shower, before retiring on the
couch to watch some TV.  I was board and every few minutes would get up,
walk around the living room and kitchen, fiddle with something and then
return to the couch to flick through the channels.  I would sit, then lie
down, then sit and then lie down again.  I checked the clock it was 8.
Great.  Danny had only been gone an hour.

I sat back up and tucked my legs up so I could rest on chin on my knees.  I
started to chew on my thumbnail.

I was bored.

No, I was just horny.

When I decided that there wouldn't be anything worthwhile watching on TV I
stripped off, put on a t-shirt and hopped into bed with a book.  It was
only 9:30 and already I was feeling a little tired.  After half an hour of
reading my concentration was wondering and my eyes were slowly closing.

**************************************************

I woke to the feeling off my glasses being taken off my face.  I stirred
and opened an eye as I felt my book being taken off my chest and out of my
hand.  I grunted as I shifted slightly so that Danny could sit beside me on
the bed.

"Sorry Sweetie, I didn't mean to wake you" She whispered, "You looked so
peaceful"

I closed my eyes feeling her hand stroke my cheek. "What time is it?"

"Just on 11"

Danny stood.  I opened my eyes and watched her undress.  When she was
dressed only in her panties I pulled back the covers on her side of the bed
and signaled to her to get in.  She crawled in and put an arm around my
stomach.  I was on my back and she rested her head on my chest.

"Did you have fun at dinner?" my voice was dry from sleep

"Yeah" Danny ran her hand along my thigh and then up my stomach.  She
tugged on my t-shirt "Take this off baby, I want to feel your skin on mine"

I wriggled out of my top and dropped it over the edge of the bed.  I pulled
Danny closer to me so that our bodies were pressed against each other.  We
often slept like this (naked that is), even if we didn't have sex.  Both of
us enjoyed being close and loved the feel of skin on skin.  I lazily drew
patterns on her back under the covers and she drew circles around my nipple
that wasn't under her.  Her finger then moved to my lips which she traced
before I took it in my mouth to suck on.

Danny nibbled on my ear and whispered, "Someone's a little sleepy"

I opened me eyes to be met by hers "I'm sorry, just give me a few moments
to wake up a bit" I almost closed them again before I remembered what I had
just said.

Danny started to stroke my hair "We can do it in the morning, Sweetie".
She sat up and took out her hair before getting out from under the covers
to remove her jacket form the end of the bed.  Her breasts, lilac covered
ass and bare legs were now exposed.

My eyes widened "No, I'm up" I stated as I felt a new serge of energy rush
through my body and hit my groin.  Danny crawled back over to me and I sat
up to greet her.  I squeezed her ass "I like this colour on you"

"You do?"

"Yep" I flipped her over onto the bed so that I was now on top "That's
better"

Danny let out a long breath as my lips and tongue slowly made their way up
her stomach, over her breasts and neck before reaching her lips.  Already I
could smell Danny's arousal and set to the task of bringing her to orgasm.

***************************************************

I awoke the next morning lying in the middle of an empty bed.  My legs were
tangled in the sheet and I moaned in annoyance as I tried to kick them
free.  Giving up, I closed my eyes and returned to my position on my
stomach.  I stretched out an arm and felt around on Danny's side of the
bed.  It was still a little warm.  I figured that she had gone to the
toilet or something.

Ten minutes later I heard the bedroom door open behind me and footstep
cross the floor as Danny entered.  She sat something down beside the bed
before sliding over and lying half across my back.  She kissed along my
neck slowly and her hands squeezed my bicep muscles in my arms.

"Morning" She purred in my ear.

I cleared my throat "Morning sexy" I rolled out from underneath her so I
could look at her face.  She was smiling and leant towards me and gave me a
big kiss.

"I made you breakfast"

I opened my eyes further and peered over to the tray that was sitting on
the bedside table.  I was starving - I usually was in the morning.  I
grinned "I must have done something right last night"

Danny smiled as she retrieved the tray and then sat up beside me.  We ate
breakfast in relative silence, just enjoying each other's company.  Danny
sat with one leg across mine as she munched on her piece of toast.  Until
now I hadn't realized just how comfortable we had grown around each other.

"What do you want to do today?" Danny didn't look at me.

"Stay in bed with you" I took a bite form my toast.

"Ok"
