Saturday Night

Walking into the living room, I noticed that more people had arrived. I
waved at a few that I recognized, like the couple from the night before. I
knew others but weren't close to them. Mary only knew the close group of
friends, but she gave everyone a friendly smile.

"Hi everybody. Anyone need refills?" As expected, all six of the guy's
hands went up.

"Okay, right away!" I led Mary into the kitchen.

"Just like last time. You get the beers and I'll make our drinks. Just
bring the six pack of bottles but open them first. And don't forget the
bottle of Coke for Pervert."

"Yes, Love." She got them out of the fridge.

No one was in the kitchen with us, so I poured a shot of vodka into each of
our glasses, topped off with 7-Up and lime. We went back to the group.

"Same order, sweetie?" she asked playfully.

"Yes, Dear. Always in order." This got a laugh from everyone again.

"Hank, Mike, Shawn, Rick, Jonny, and a Coke for Joe!" she said sweetly. The
guys couldn't help but peek at her cleavage when she leaned over the coffee
table slightly to hand the bottles to them.

Shawn and my dad scooted over so that she could have a seat between them
after she was done.

I looked at the couple from last night and saw that they were almost empty
as well.

"I'm sorry, I should have asked y'all too. Can I refill your drinks?"

"Oh, sure. She'll have the red wine we brought and I'm having scotch with
ice" The husband replied in a friendly voice.

"Wine and scotch with ice. Got it. Back in a moment."

.



The couple watched me walk away before the guy spoke to my dad.

"Hank, we could have got our drinks. She didn't have to do that."

"I know. But she's like that, always helping out. It makes her feel good,
so I quit trying to tell her she didn't have to."

"How old is he -- I mean she?"

"Fifteen but will be sixteen soon."

"Huh. We've never seen such a mature acting teenager before. Our boys are
eleven and thirteen and can be little devils sometimes. She doesn't babysit
and give lessons on how to behave, does she?" he asked with a chuckle.

"Yeah, our kids could use it. We try but they don't always listen" his wife
added.

"Hmm, I don't know, to be honest. Why don't y'all ask her?"

"Thanks. We will when she comes back."

"Just keep in mind that she'll put the hammer down if they give her any lip
or act too bad." The guys laughed.

"Yeah, man. And she can swing a pretty strong hammer" Pervert added.

"Sounds just like what they need, huh honey?"

"It sure does. We'll pay her even more than her regular sitter. She's a
nice girl, but the boys just roll over her."

Mary let out a little laugh. "Nobody rolls over Paulina!" she giggled.

"True, true" my dad added.

"And what about you, young lady? Mary, is it? You seem pretty mature as
well. Would you be interested, too?" the husband asked.

"I don't know" she replied shyly. "I might be kind of a pushover,
too. Especially if they're cute." She tried not to giggle.

"Well keep us in mind anyway. I'm sure you'd be better than the girl we
have now."

"Okay, I will. Thanks."

.



I returned with their drinks. The wife nudged her husband's knee.

"Here y'all are. One red and a scotch with ice -- I mean on the rocks." I
handed the drinks over.

The wife noticed that her wine was a perfect pour.

"Mrs. J, is that a French wine? I forgot to look at the bottle." I asked.

"No, it's Spanish. It's called Garnacha."

"It looks very nice. I smelled it when I opened the bottle."

"Do you know about wine? You seem bit young for that."

"No, I haven't drank it" I lied, "but a nice man I do chores around his
house for has like a hundred bottles of wine. I was curious and asked about
them. He kinda gave me a big lesson. I didn't know there was so much to
know about wine!"

"Yes, wine is a big topic. I don't know much about them, I just drink the
ones I like."

"One day I want to taste all the different wines I can." I made a
mischievous look. "But not my mother's. Um, Hank, I tasted it once. By
accident. It wasn't so good." I made a face.

"That's cool. She drinks that cheap pink stuff from California. I don't
like it either. So I guess I don't have to tell you to stay out of her
wine, then" He chuckled. Everyone laughed.

"So, Paulina, we were talking and want to ask you if you ever babysit? We
have boys younger than you, so they're not babies. But you know what I
mean. We pay well" The husband asked with a hopeful smile.

"Our boys need someone who they won't get over on. We hear that you'd be
perfect for the job" his wife added.

I gave them a curious look before answering.

"Y'all would want me even though I'm really a boy? I wouldn't want to
confuse them or make them uncomfortable or nervous, but I wouldn't change
and look different if I did it. I don't change for anyone." I said with a
serious tone.

The couple looked at each other before replying.

"No, it wouldn't be a problem. In fact, it might be good for them. Our
younger one is a bit...sensitive, but his older brother can be kind of
pushy sometimes. Not like a bully or anything, but he always tries to get
his way" the wife said.

I crossed my arms and gave them a superior but humorous look.

"A bossy boy, huh? Especially to his sweet little brother? I like the
sensitive types. Okay, I'll do it. I'll put his bossy butt in order, count
on it!" I said with a smug grin.

"He better watch out, man. He's not gonna know what hit him" Pervert said
matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, Paulina's got a good track record of keeping overconfident brothers
in line, huh Rick?" Jonny asked. The guys all laughed.

"Great! Here's our number." She took a pen from her purse and wrote it on a
card.

"Here's mine. Just let me know beforehand. I can't promise I'll be free,
but I'll do it if I am."

"Thanks, we appreciate it" she replied sweetly.

.



I sat down next to the wife and had Jonny move so that Mary could sit next
to me. While we talked and drank with everyone, I tried to pay attention to
how giggly we got, as an indicator for us getting tipsy. They guys were
really enjoying chatting Mary up, but it was all friendly since they knew
how old she was. Plus, she was with me and no one wanted to get on my shit
list from hitting on my girl.

I did see a couple of guys come through that I didn't know. One or two
looked hungrily at both of us until they caught my eye. I bared my teeth a
little as I shook my head no. For the most part, they got the message. One
guy was dense, so I had to deal with him later.

.



More people arrived, as they usually did on Saturdays. I recognized a few
more, some which I hadn't seen in a long time.  I noticed Rick's eyes light
up when he saw one of them. It was Brenda C. I got up and gave her a hug.

"Brenda, nice to see you!"

"You too, Paul-ina. Sorry, gotta get used to that. Dwade told me that's
what you like to be called now. It fits, though. You're really pretty" she
said sweetly.

"Thanks. You're as pretty as ever." I whispered in her ear "Someone else is
happy to see you, too."

She suppressed a giggle. "Yeah, it's nice to see him. It's been a while."

"You should go say hello. Make him get you a drink or something."

"I will." She said hello to everyone while giving him a subtle nod. He got
up and followed her to the kitchen.

.



After chatting with everyone for a while, I wanted to play pool with Mary
before the number of people waiting got to be too many.

"Darling Dear, want to go play a game of pool?" I asked as I squeezed her
thigh.

"Yes, My Love. I'd love to."

"Y'all excuse us then." I held out my hand politely to help her up, not
that she needed it. "Guys, you're on your own for refills for a while. Mary
and I have some balls to go play with" I giggled.

Jonny almost spit out his drink. The couple next to us looked a little
shocked. Shawn and my dad just looked down and shook their heads. Pervert
gave me a look as he stroked the Coke bottle between his legs.

"What? I just meant that we're gonna go play pool." I said innocently as I
twirled the end of my ponytail.

"Uh huh. Um, right" one of them replied.

"What are y'all thinking? We're good girls!" I said with a giggle.

"Of course you are. You're wonderful, P. You too, Mary" Shawn replied
playfully.

"We are! Come on, let's go get a game before it gets too crowded back
there. Ciao!" I gave everyone a wave as I led her by the hand to the
kitchen for refills.

.



"Ohmygod, you are sooo bad!" she said with a big giggle. I can't believe
you said we were going play with balls!"

"What? I always play with them like that. Well, maybe not about balls..."

"You know what you meant!"

I blew her a kiss. We both cracked up laughing.

I refilled our drinks and added a shot of vodka to each when no one was
looking. We walked slowly and carefully to the pool table and claimed the
next game.

"Try not to giggle too much, okay? Ann's sharp and will know we snuck a
drink."

"I'll try my best." She held her giggle in.

My mother, Dawn and Ann were still there, so we talked with them while we
waited. I noticed that they were ready for new drinks.

"Mother, y'all want refills? I'll get them."

"Oh, sure. Thanks." She was still a little surprised at how friendly I was
being. Maybe it was because I had Mary with me. But I was being this way
recently, so that wasn't it. Our relationship was thawing on both sides.

"Be right back." I took her glass as well as Dawn and Ann's empty bottles.

.



They chatted while I was in the kitchen.

"Mary, how you doin'? Havin' fun?" Ann asked her.

"Yes, lots. Everyone's so nice. Thanks again for letting me come over,
Mi--Marie."

"That's okay. You're cool for a young chick. Not a typical bratty kid your
age."

"Th-thanks. I don't think she'd let me be with her if I was. She said `I
need to be on my best adult behavior' in her imitation of my imperial
voice.

Dawn and Ann burst out laughing as they'd heard me sound like that
before. She couldn't help but join in. My mother just smiled. She had an
idea of what she meant, though.

"True. She wouldn't tolerate that. Or else she'd treat you like a little
kid" Dawn added.

"And we know where she got that from, huh Marie?" Ann asked with a laugh.

"Well, he didn't get it from that shithead father of his" she replied with
a little grin.

"You know, you two are more alike than you'd both like to admit. She's got
all your strong will and resolve" Dawn said to her.

"And all your smarts, too" Ann added.

"Maybe."

"Come on, y'all both know it. It's not a bad thing that y'all are so
similar. But don't worry, she doesn't want to be the Queen Bee!" Dawn
added.

"That's right. Here's to the Queen! Buzzz!" Ann laughed as lifted her
bottle in salute. Dawn lifted hers as well. Mary didn't want to be left
out, so she raised her glass too.

My mother gave them a smug smile and raised her wine glass in return. They
all took a big swallow after.

"What are y'all saluting to?" I asked as I brought the fresh drinks and
passed them out.

"They were saying that your mom's the Queen. I mean the Queen Bee. So we
cheers'd her" Mary said before she realized she beat the other women to it.

"That she is." I raised my glass in a little salute as well. She gave me a
slight one in return.

"Oh, sorry, Dawn. Didn't mean to answer first."

"It's fine. You said what I would have said" she replied sweetly.

.



It was our turn to play pool. I racked the balls so Mary could shoot
first. Following my mother's instructions almost to the letter, she hit the
triangle of balls in exactly the right spot to scatter them evenly. The
2-ball dropped in a pocket.

"Yes! I'm solids."

"Good shot, Dear. I think I'm gonna have a hard time beating you!" I
giggled.

Her second shot sunk the 1-ball. Her third sunk the 7-ball. She missed her
next shot.

We traded misses for a bit before she started sinking balls every other
shot. By the time she sunk the 8-ball, I still had three on the table.

"I win!" she exclaimed as she gave me a big hug.

"That was very good, Mary. You did everything I showed you" my mother said
in praise.

"Thanks for teaching me what to do. You were right, I will get better and
better!" she replied sweetly.

.



While we were playing, I noticed a guy watching us out of the corner of my
eye. He was watching Mary specifically. He made sure to get a view from
behind each time she bent over to take a shot. I was starting to feel a
little tipsy and started to feel protectively jealous. I decided to put a
stop to it right then. I stepped closer to my mother while keeping my eyes
on him.

"Mother, who is that? The guy in the blue shirt who keeps looking at Mary's
ass?" I asked coolly.

Everyone looked. He quickly looked away.

"He ran into my butt when he passed by earlier. It was an accident so no
big deal" Mary said.

"Is that right? He accidently bumped into your ass?" I replied in my cool
tone.

"That's a friend of a friend that Hank works with. I think that guy went to
the bathroom. I don't see him."

"So you don't know him?"

"No. I haven't met him."

"Huh." I set my drink down and started to talk over to him.

"Um, this could be trouble. Want me to stop her, Marie?" Ann asked.

"No. I want to see him handle it."

"Y'all, I-I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything to her." Mary sounded
worried. She turned to go after me, but my mother put her hand on her arm
and stopped her.

"Not your fault" she replied.

.



I carefully crossed the room to where the guy stood. I got close to him,
which he didn't expect. I gave him a onceover before speaking.

"Who are you? I've never seen you before" I asked firmly.

"Who's asking?" he asked back with a defensive and irritated tone.

"I'm Paulina. I live here. This is my parent's house. I'll ask you again,
who are you?"

He just looked at me, trying to size me up.

"I'm waiting. I don't like to wait." My tone was cooler. I crossed my arms
and tapped my foot.

"I'm George. What's it to you?"

I looked him up and down with a displeased face. I got closer and bared my
teeth. My fists were balled at my side.

"Well, George, I don't like the way you're looking at my girlfriend. My
fifteen year old girlfriend. So you're gonna stop, aren't you?"

"She ain't no fifteen, so I'm gonna look if I want. Ain't no harm in
lookin'."

He was getting an attitude with me, which I did not like.

"She is fifteen, just like I am. Your stared at her ass every time she took
a shot. That offends me. I don't like to be offended."

"Yeah yeah, whatever. I won't stare at her ass anymore, alright?" he
replied flippantly.

"One more thing" I leaned in closer, showing more teeth. "If you
`accidentally' touch her again, I'll break your hands myself, then have my
dad throw you out on your ass. Capisci?"

"Yeah, sure, alright. I won't go by her. Or look at her ass. Okay?"

"Good. You better not. I'm letting my dad and his friends know to keep an
eye on you. But I will as well, and my eyes are sharper than theirs."

He looked me in the eyes for a few moments. Then his expression changed as
he knew that things wouldn't go well if he didn't stop.

"Now go have a beer and enjoy your time here."

I stepped back a few steps before turning away and going back to the
ladies.

.



"Everything cool?" Ann asked.

"As a cucumber" I replied with a cool tone.

"I'm sorry, Paulina. I shouldn't have said anything. He didn't touch me on
purpose. It-it was nothing" Mary said nervously.

"It's okay, my dear. But he stared at your ass every time it was your turn,
and he did cop a feel on purpose. But we won't have any trouble out of
him. I gave him some advice and I think he'll take it."

"Good. I don't want to have to talk to him about his behavior in my house."
My mother said in the same cool tone.

Dawn and Ann looked surprised that she noticed that her and I were thinking
the same. They also noticed that we were standing the same way, with our
arms crossed, looking at him with the same displeased expression.

"Well we know he's in a world of shit if he crosses one of you again" Ann
said seriously.

"Or both of you" Dawn added.

"Yes, he will be" we said in unison. We looked at each other with surprise.

Dawn and Ann just stared at us for a few moments, not believing what just
happened.

"I'm going to the bathroom" My mother set her glass down and walked to her
bedroom.

"So am I." I handed Mary my drink and left.

.



"Was that for fucking real?!?" Ann said in a low voice.

"It was. Maybe she'll realize how similar they are now" Dawn answered.

"Y'all, why don't they like each other?" Mary was starting to feel the
alcohol and so was getting less inhibited. "I mean I know that Marie
doesn't like her looking like a girl, but it seems like there's
more. Paulina won't really say much."

"It's the shit with Beth, her sister. Marie never did like her. Something
happened and she made her leave. She was a quiet but nice girl, so I don't
understand why. Marie won't say anything about it, except when she's real
drunk. Then she'll go on about her girls stealing her youth or
something. It's a bad topic, so don't ask about it, okay?" Dawn answered.

"Oh, okay. Promise I won't. It's just...Marie's been nice to me, and I like
her. And Paulina's super sweet and good to me. I wish they liked each
other. They seem to be being nice. It's not usually like this?"

"No, it's not. It's been less tense between them lately, but it's not all
gone. Tonight's the only time I recall them being so nice in a real long
time. Like years."

"Oh."

"Alright ladies, we're talking about something else" Dawn warned as they
saw my mother come out of her bedroom.

.



As I peed, I breathed and slowed my mind down like Jim taught me. I wasn't
too upset, and I was satisfied with the outcome, so I felt better
quickly. I was going to talk to my dad before going back, though.

"Hi y'all" I said to everyone, not as cheerily as I usually did.

"Hey, kiddo. Is something wrong?" He sounded concerned.

"Hank, can you keep an eye on somebody?"

"Who? What's wrong?"

"That guy George in the family room. Mother said he's your friend's
friend. He was staring at Mary's ass the whole game, and he `accidentally'
bumped into it. I think he was trying to cop a feel on her when no one was
looking."

"What? Come on, I'll tell him to knock that shit off. If he doesn't, I'll
throw his ass out." He started to stand up.

I put my hand on his arm like I did to Louis and stopped him.

"It's alright. I...talked to him and let him know that I wasn't happy about
it. He agreed to stay away and stop looking at her. I didn't have to be too
persuasive. He got the message pretty quickly." I bared my teeth a
little. "Plus, mother was going to talk to him as well. But since I did,
she didn't have to."

"Not if he wants to live" Pervert added. The guys all shook their heads in
agreement.

"We'll keep an eye on him. Let me know if he does anything else."

"Thanks. Y'all want anything before I go back? Mr. and Mrs. J, anything?" I
asked the couple sitting close by.

"Sure. Another scotch for me and a red for her."

"Got it" I said sweetly. I turned and headed to the kitchen.

.



"Sounds like a motherfucker got lucky." Rick said.

"Yeah. I just hope he's smart and doesn't piss her off again. Or
Marie. Sounds like they were on the same page with that" my dad replied.

"That's heavy, man. He's gonna be cold meat if he does" Pervert added.

"Fweeeeww! The two of them? That's a battle he won't walk out of" whistled
Mike.

"Well I don't want any trouble with the two of them, so I'll check back
there every so often."

.



"Here are your drinks" I said sweetly as I carefully handed them to the
J's.

"That's really nice of you, Paulina. Thanks."

"No problem. I like being helpful. I need to check on my wifey, so I'll
catch y'all later. Ciao" I giggled as I walked away.

After I walked off, Shawn spoke.

"That was that jealous, protective streak of hers. I hope she doesn't get
that way again tonight."

"Yeah. She looked pretty serious" Rick added.

"Well, if Mary was my girl, I'd tell that dude something, too" Mike added
as well.

.



I returned to see the three ladies and Mary talking. Nothing looked
unpleasant, so I assumed my issue with that guy was done.

"Hi y'all."

"Everything come out okay?" Ann asked.

"Sure did. It always does" I said with a big grin. Everyone burst out
laughing, including my mother.

"Mother, I told Hank and the guys about what happened, in case he does
something stupid again. But I really don't think he will."

"Alright."

"Mary, do you want to play another game with me?" I motioned to the pool
table.

"No, I'm okay. But I want to see you and your mom play one. I know she's
really good but you're good too. I-I mean if that's okay with you Marie?"
She sounded nervous again, thinking she maybe she shouldn't have asked
that.

"I, um, that's fine. Mother?"

"Sure, I'll play one with you" She replied in her normal conversational
tone.

"Okay. I'll rack them as soon as this game is done."

Everyone was silent for a moment, realizing that we were actually getting
along and didn't have any disagreements or confrontations all evening. At
least not yet.

I was tipsy, so didn't notice it as much as Dawn and Ann did. Still on
guard, I worried that her mood would change in an instant like I had seen
her do before. I was afraid that she would get tired of Mary hanging out
and would want her to go. But she didn't mind her, and actually seemed to
like her a little. I assumed that it was because she was young and off
limits to any guys there, so she was no competition.

.



After the current game ended, my mother and gathered the balls. I racked
them and she broke, sinking a stripe. She sank one more on her next shot
but missed the third.

I missed mine, then she missed her next one. I sunk one, the she sunk
one. It went on like this until we were both trying to sink the 8-ball.

It was my turn. I hit it well and thought it was going in a corner pocket,
but it stopped just short of going in. Her winning shot was guaranteed.

She barely hit the cue ball and it gently sunk the 8-ball, winning the
game.

"The Queen wins!" Ann exclaimed with a laugh.

"See Mary? I'm okay but she's better. I don't recall ever beating
her. Mother, do you?"

"No. I've always won."

"Y'all both played so good!" Mary added.

My mother smiled at the compliment.

"Mother, do you need a refill?" I pointed to her wine glass. "Ladies? Mary,
I'll get yours" I said sweetly.

"That would be nice. Thanks." My mother replied.

Ann held up two fingers.

"Okay. Be back shortly." I went to the kitchen.

.



"So, Marie, looks like what I was saying earlier really is true. You two
really are alike in a lot of ways. Y'all even play pool the same way" Dawn
said playfully. She was one of the very few people who could talk to her
like that.

"I suppose so. I did teach him."

"I think you taught her the other things, too."

"Hmph."

"You know it's true, whether you want to admit it or not."

"Well I obviously couldn't teach him how to be a normal fucking boy" she
said with cool sarcasm. There was a hint of irritation in her voice as
well.

"Marie, she is the way she is. No one, including you, is going to change
that. Regardless of what you wanted." Dawn said matter-of-factly.

"I already had two useless cunts. I didn't want another."

"This one's definitely not a `useless cunt.' I don't think your girls are
either, but you're their mother. Open your eyes a little more and you'll
see how good she is. It's really cool to see you two get along like you
have tonight. Recently, too. So keep it up. You might even like her a
little."

"You're right -- my daughters are my business. As for that one" she pointed
her thumb over her shoulder, "it, um, has been nice to not argue. I'll give
you that."

"Try for more, even if just a little. Less stress for both of y'all is a
good thing."

"Alright, alright. I can tell you're not gonna get off my ass about
this. I'll...open my eyes a bit. Okay?"

"Thanks, hon. I knew you'd see things my way" she said sweetly as she gave
her a hug. Only Dawn could have done this.

"Um...Marie?" Mary asked shyly.

"Yes?" she answered in a slightly cooler tone than before.

"I-I just want to say that...Paulina's really good. She helps all of her
friends and takes care of them sometimes. I, um, had some trouble Thursday
afternoon. No one else could help me. Even though we weren't close before
then, she came and helped me anyway. Actually, we never liked each other
before. But it's all made me see a side of her that I never imagined she
would show me. Or that she even had. She's really good to her other
girls. A few boys too. I was...jealous sometimes when I saw how she treated
them. It looked so nice." She hoped she didn't speak out of line or say too
much.

"What do you mean y'all didn't like each other?"

"Um, a while back, a lot of us would tease her about not being a normal
boy. We would be real bitches to her. But one day she confronted one of the
girls. I don't know what happened, but they were good with each other after
that."

"And?"

"I, um, there was this girl that I...I always told her to be a bitch to
her, `cause she'd do it. One time, the three of us kinda got in a
fight. Something happened after that, and my friend started going out with
that other girl. They're the two we went swimming with today. Me and the
girl I was friends with got in a fight. She quit being friends with me. Her
girlfriend and Paulina found out about it. She, um, told me to stay away
from them and leave them alone, or else. So I did. She can be...a little
scary at school sometimes. A lot of kids are afraid of her. She's real
strong and confident. She doesn't take crap from anybody."

"Really. So how did y'all end up swimming today with your ex and her
girlfriend that doesn't like you?"

"Last night we were still up...talking, and she wanted us to make peace
because she was going to tell our friends at school that her and I did, and
that she helped me this weekend. She called them and we all talked. I
promised not to be a bitch to everybody, and to not be jealous about them
two being in love. I meant it, too. They trust Paulina. She asked them to
go along and give me a chance, so they did. It-it was really nice of
them. I, um, miss having friends. Today I think Paulina wanted to test
everybody. We were all nice to each other. I liked it. I could tell she was
really pleased. I didn't want to displease her. `You know she doesn't like
to be displeased'." She imitated my imperial voice. Dawn and Ann
laughed. "But, um, I'm...grateful to her for these last few days. It really
means a lot, what she did. She didn't have to help me. I-I don't know what
would have happened if she didn't." She got a little teary eyed and tried
to wipe them away without being noticed. But she was right in front of
everyone.

"Well, he does seem to like helping people. Why did you need help?"

Being tipsy lessened her hold on her emotions. Her eyes welled up with
tears and she tried to hide behind her hair.

"Is-is it okay if-if I don't say? I-I don't want to talk about it." She
sniffled, trying not to cry.

"Of course it is. You don't have to say anything, honey." Dawn pulled her
into a tight hug. She hugged her back.

"I-I'm sorry, y'all. I-I don't mean to be a crybaby." She tried to laugh a
little. "I-I don't want to ruin the fun. I don't want her to worry."

"That's alright. I shouldn't have asked" my mother replied almost warmly.

"But she really, really is good. She's one of the best people I've ever
met. She, and what she did, means a lot to me. And I, um, care a lot about
her back. I-I just wanted to say that."

"I...do see how nice he is to people."

"Even to you. Tonight. Getting your wine? Talking to you? Playing a game of
pool with you? And the other day when you said she cooked for y'all? She's
trying, Marie. You should too. Really try like you said you would" Dawn
replied almost sternly.

"...Alright."

"Good! The rest of the night will be fine then."

"Um, Marie?" Mary asked.

"Yes?"

"Um, Paulina doesn't want to be a real girl. She likes to look pretty and
dress cute like one, and she hates wearing boy's clothes. But she's still a
boy. She says she loves her boy body and wouldn't trade it for
anything. But she loves her pretty hair and lips and eyelashes. She's
prettier than a lot of girls we go to school with. But she's not like one
of those people who's gonna want a sex change when they grow up or
anything. She's always gonna be a boy, but she's a real pretty girl, too."

They were all quiet for a few moments. Neither my mother, Dawn nor Ann knew
that. It was a surprise to all of them.

"I...didn't know that. I thought all this was him trying that bullshit
about people being in the wrong bodies" my mother replied, though not with
the cool tone from before.

"No, she definitely likes being a boy, but she likes to dress and be pretty
like a girl. But she's still the same person." She decided not to say
anything more about it. She didn't want to aggravate my mother.

"I'll...keep that in mind. Thanks for telling me that, Mary."

"Y-you're welcome" she replied nervously.

Dawn patted her butt like her and Shawn often did to me. She gave her a
sweet smile, as if to say `it's alright.' She looked relieved.

.



I returned with the drinks and immediately noticed that the mood was
different than when I left. I immediately got defensive.

"Is everything alright? Mary?" I asked in a firm tone.

"Yes, everything's good" Dawn said as she put her hand on my arm. "Mary was
just telling Marie how nice and caring you've been to her, and that she
appreciates it and is really enjoying herself."

I looked at Mary and could tell that she had teared up at some point but
didn't look like she cried. I was going to be upset if my mother made her
cry.

"Are you sure?" I asked Mary in a concerned tone again.

"Yes, sweetie. It's fine. Your mom was curious, so I told her what I
thought. Which is that you're wonderful, by the way!" she said sweetly.

"Learn anything new, mother?" I said in a cool, almost challenging voice.

"Yes. She told me that you're nice to people and really care about the ones
you're close to. She also said you don't take any shit from anybody at
school, so no one hassles your friends." Her reply was non-confrontational,
which I didn't expect.

"She's exactly right. I'm always nice and polite to everyone. Always to
adults, but to other kids as well, mostly. I'm kind and really like to help
people. And I do care about my friends, very much. But I do not take any
shit. And everyone knows that it's not in their best interest to hassle one
of my friends. They'll have to deal with me, and it rarely turns out well
for them." I bared my teeth a bit to make my point.

"That's...good. I don't take any shit either and don't let people fuck with
my friends. I rarely have to do more than say anything. You know."

"I do. It's a good quality to have."

.



We stared at each other for a few moments. There was no animosity in our
looks. My mother gave me a onceover but didn't change her expression. It
didn't feel like she was angry, so relaxed a bit.

"Then I have a proposal" Dawn announced to the four of us. "You two, when
you're in private, y'all be as cold or warm or as civil or ugly toward one
other as much as you want. But when you're out with everyone, be nice and
peaceful with each other. I know y'all made some kind of peace before, so
this shouldn't be hard. Y'all have been doing it tonight and everyone likes
it. Even you two do, I can tell. It's great not feeling any tension between
you two. So keep it up. Please, from all of us. What do you say? Marie?"

"I...can do that." Her tone was not as conversationally warm as before, but
it wasn't her cool one.

"Paulina?"

"I can too. I just want peace and to enjoy ourselves." I sounded guarded
but open.

"Good! Now for the hard part. Hug." Dawn ordered with a smug grin.

My mother hesitated, so I stepped forward and hugged her. Not close and
warm, but it wasn't robotic with no feeling. She briefly hugged me back.

"Wonderful! Dawn exclaimed.

"Mary, go ring those fucking church bells next door. We got ourselves a
momentous occasion here!" Ann added excitedly.

"I'm so glad!" Mary said as she pulled me into a big hug and gave me a
sweet kiss.

I handed my mother her wine glass and lifted mine.

"Peace? At least for now?" I asked sincerely.

"Yes...this will be better. We'll keep our disagreements private."

"I agree. Salute!" We clinked our glasses together with guarded smiles.

"Cheers everybody!" Mary raised her glass and Dawn and Ann lifted their
bottles. We all clinked them together.

.



I looked around the room. Some people I knew raised their drinks in
recognition. Other people I didn't know gave me friendly smiles, which I
returned. I saw Brenda and Rick sitting in the corner of the couch, looking
very happy to be with each other.

I did find a pair of eyes looking back at me that did not seem too
happy. It was George. I couldn't tell if he was looking at me or Mary or
the group of us. I gave him a cold look and he turned away. I was going to
keep a close eye on him.

.



Mary and I really started to feel the alcohol after our last drink. We got
very giggly and thought everything was funny. I felt the same way I did the
night I drank for the first time. I knew it was probably time to go sit
down.

"If y'all will excuse us, I want to go sit for a while. Come along,
sweetie" I giggled.

"Okay. Um, talk to y'all later" she said with a giggle and a little wave.

I took her hand and carefully led her to the couch. I didn't want anyone to
notice that we were tipsy and walking very slow.

"Lovey Dove, are you having a good time?" I asked sweetly.

"Yes, My Love. I'm having so much fun! Your mom and Dawn and Ann have been
so nice to me. It's so cool that they let me hang out with them" she
giggled.

"And how are you feeling?"

"Wonderful! Everything's so funny! But I had to walk slow."

"I know. Me too. We just have to be careful."

She looked at me and ran her hand down my ponytail for a moment.

"You know, Love, that it's really cool that you and your mom made peace
earlier. I know that was hard for y'all. Do you think it'll last?"

"Hmm. I hope so. That's all I want. I don't want to fight with her."

"Well, you two were being the same earlier! And it was sooo sweet how you
were worried about me and that guy. I love you for that."

"Like I said, no one's gonna mess with my beautiful trophy wife!" I said in
my imperial voice. I couldn't hold a straight face for long, so we both
laughed.

I pulled her into a slow, loving but short kiss. I sucked her lower lip for
a moment, which she pressed against one of my sharp fangs. She would feel
them later.

"My cuddle bunny, you kiss me so well" she giggled.

"My Sugar plum, I love kissing you. Your lips are perfect."

.



A lesbian couple we had not seen yet came over and sat across from us. One
was a stereotypical butch, with short hair and dressed masculine. She
looked to be in her mid-thirties. The other was much more femme, though not
as girly as either Mary or I. She appeared to be in her mid-twenties, or at
least several years younger than her girlfriend.

"Hi girls, mind if we join you?" The butch one asked. Her voice was deeper
than mine.

"Please" I replied. "Are you ladies having a good time? I don't recognize
you. Have y'all been here before? Oh -- where are my manners" I
giggled. "I'm Paulina and this is Mary."

"I'm Pat and this in Jen. I haven't been here in a few months. This is
Jen's first time. I don't remember seeing you before either. Do y'all come
a lot?"

Mary and I looked at each other and giggled she said "come a lot." We did
our best to not burst out laughing.

"Of course I...come a lot." We giggled again. "I mean, I do live here. Hank
and...Marie are my parents. Mary's my girlfriend. This is her first time
here."

"Oh. Um, I knew she had a daughter, but I heard she looked just like her."

"That was my sister Beth" I replied with a twinge of disappointment. I
missed her dearly. "She doesn't live with us anymore. My mother made her
leave." I tried to keep the coolness out of my voice so that Mary wouldn't
worry.

"I didn't know she had another one."

"We have an older sister but she lives with our grandparents. I'm really a
boy, I just like looking like a girl."

Pat quickly made a look of recognition. "Ahh, I see it. I noticed your
strong arms and legs. I thought you were just a strong chick. But you're
pretty."

"Aww, thank you!" I giggled. "I am pretty strong. And tough when I need to
be. Right, My Love?"

"You sure are, Darling!" she replied before answering Pat. "She doesn't
take any crap from nobody!" She leaned across the table a bit and spoke
low, like she was telling a secret. "If people reeeallly piss her off, she
becomes a Hungry Wolf and bites them. She'll make them bleed!"

"Lovey! Don't say that! We save that for people who displease me." I looked
at Pat and Jen. "I do not like to be displeased" I said in my imperial
voice. I bared my teeth for a moment before giggling.

"I see" Pat chuckled. "I don't take no shit, either. I just beat their
asses."

"Oh, I beat their asses too, before I have to bite them. But motherfuckers
-- oh! My language! Please forgive me! -- they usually learn to change
their behavior after a hard beating." I laughed a little while Mary
giggled.

"Yep! Gotta keep mutherfuckers and bitches in line!" She raised her beer
bottle, which I clinked with my glass.

"So, um, you two are okay being Out in front of everybody? I-I was a little
nervous when Pat asked me to come. I-I mean I love being with her, but no
one knows I'm...a lesbian." Jen said in a quiet, almost meek voice.

"Well you have nothing to worry about here, `cause no one cares! As long as
you're cool and nice, then you're okay. My parents and their friends are
cool with everybody. I've always been taught that anybody should love who
they want."

"Wow...that's really cool. My family's real conservative and square about
all that They wouldn't like it if they found out about me."

"I think you should tell them and get it out in the open. You're a grown
woman and they'll just have to handle it. If they don't, they'll be the
ones to regret it. They're eventually gonna find out anyway" Pat told her
confidently.

"I know. I just...I know they won't handle it well. But I'll tell them one
day."

"It's good to see young dykes together, even if you're both femme."

Mary and I looked at each other before replying.

"What's a dyke?" I asked.

"Dyke. You know, a lesbian. A Sappho. A pussy eater. A woman who loves
women."

"Really? I've never heard that before. So what am I? I love to eat pussy!"
Both Mary and Jen blushed. "And I like boys, too. But I'm a boy. I don't
want to be a real girl."

"That makes you bisexual. It means you like both men and women. A lot of
women are like that."

"Ah. Bisexual. I like that. That means you are too, My Love" I said sweetly
to Mary.

"I guess I am. I like boys, too."

"Well you two sure are in interesting pair. I didn't expect to see any
female couples here. I've met a dyke or two here before, but not a
couple. Good to see."

"Yeah, my mother has some lesbian friends. A few are really nice, but I
don't care for a couple of them."

"Oh really? Who? I know most of the ones that know and like your mom."

"I shouldn't say. I mean you might like one of them. Plus. It's not nice to
talk about people behind their backs."

"Ha! Girl, most dykes don't like each other to begin with. Unless they're
seeing each other. So go ahead and say who. This'll be interesting" she
chuckled.

"Alright...I really don't like this woman named Rayneese. Do you know her?
She's not a bitch or anything, but she's just...I don't care for her. I um,
I don't like the way she smells. Her hair never smells good." I made an
unpleasant face.

"Hahaha! Yeah, I know her. She's a weird fish. But you're right. Her hair
never smells good. You know what else? A dyke buddy of mine said her pussy
stank! But she fucked her anyway!" She laughed.

"Pat! That's not cool! What if she's got some problem and can't help it?"
Jen replied with a little sternness in her voice.

"Yeah, she's got a problem alright -- she don't wash good! Her hair
either!" She laughed harder.

"You know what I mean. That's not nice!" She crossed her arms and tried to
look upset.

"Oh, come on. You said yourself the first girl you were with didn't smell
so great down there. It happens. More often than you think."

Being tipsy lowered my inhibitions about speaking my mind, so I asked
another question.

"Really? The girls I've been with have all smelled divine!" I pinched
Mary's nipple, causing her to let out an `eeep!' as she blushed. "They all
tasted real good, too!" I giggled loudly.

"Sweetie! Ohmygod! Shhhhh! Mary was red with embarrassment. Jen blushed
also.

"What? I'm telling the truth." I said innocently as I gave her doe eyes and
twirled the end of my ponytail.

"Well, I'll tell ya. Teenage girls got that fresh smell. Taste good,
too. But when they become women, their bodies change. Some stay the same
and smell good. Some not so much. But most women who stink don't wash
themselves enough. Men with BO are like that too, I guess. Never been with
one, so I don't know for sure."

"Oh. That makes sense. I'm always clean and smell wonderful! I expect all
my girls to be the same. Right, Darling?"

"Of course. I'd never want anybody to think I smelled bad" Mary replied.

"So, did you two date through school? Are y'all gonna stay together after
you graduate? That's gotta be soon, huh? Know where y'all wanna go to
college?"

Mary and I looked at each other before laughing.

"We've only been together since Thursday. And we're both fifteen!" I
giggled.

"What?!? Get the fuck out! No way. Fifteen? Unh unh. Y'all gotta be high
school seniors about to graduate."

"Nope. We're just very mature young ladies" I replied in my imperial voice
before giggling.

"Y'all sure are. Pat's right, y'all look like you're seventeen or
eighteen. Y'all know a lot about sex, too. I didn't know anything until I
was a freshman in college, really" Jen added.

"I started early. I've seen sex around here since I was little, so I knew
what to do when I did it the first time."

"Oh."

"I had my first girl when I was sixteen, so I can't say anything about
y'all being young" Pat added.

I was feeling more tipsy than before and raised my glass.

"Here's to starting young!"

"Right on, girl!" Pat clinked her bottle with me.

"Me too!" Mary giggled as she clinked hers with ours.

"I, um, wish I had" Jen joined in.

We all laughed for a few moments.

"Ladies, we need a refill. Can I get y'all fresh beers?" I asked as I got
up.

"Sure thing, honey. I brought a six pack. On the right bottom side."

"Coming up!" I left for the kitchen.

.



"So, Mary, have y'all really only been together since Thursday? Y'all seem
like you're in love" Jen asked.

"Yeah. Thursday afternoon. She, um, helped me with something, and I've been
with her since. We do love each other, but just for the weekend." She had a
hint of disappointment in her voice.

"What do you mean?"

"She's kinda got another girlfriend."

"Ha! Typical lesbian!" Pat laughed. Jen poked her and gave her a pouty
face.

"But I have a...boy, too. So it's okay. So we're gonna love each other
until I have to go home tomorrow night."

"Have y'all been liking each other for a while? Like knowing it but never
doing anything about it?"

"No, we never liked each other before. We kinda hated each other for a long
time."

"Huh? But y'all seem so close, like a couple who's been together for a
while."

"No, it's like I said. She...helped me out with something. Even though we
couldn't stand each other, I knew she'd be the only one who'd help
me. We've gotten to know each other. We were always bitches to each other,
but she's so different than I ever expected. I guess I am, too. I feel, um,
very lucky that this happened. I-I'm grateful" she said sincerely.

"You know," Pat said as she placed a hand on her knee, "love doesn't go
away easy. I think y'all are gonna have to figure this out. I hope y'all
can handle it okay. Not being able to be with someone you love can hurt."

"We know. I don't want this to end, but I know it will. Hopefully it won't
be for long. But even if it's not, I'm going to love her forever for what
she's done for me. I told her that even though I'd like more, it's been
enough for me. More than enough. More than I ever expected, so I'm real
happy with it. She...saved me, I think." She looked nervous all of a sudden
when she realized what she just said and pulled her hair over her face for
a moment. "I-I'm sorry. I-I'm talking too much."

"It's alright, honey, I understand. Sometimes special people come into our
lives to help us. Sometimes they're who you'd never expect. Sometimes
they're strangers. We all need help at one time or another. Even saving"
Pat replied sincerely.

"Th-thanks. I don't think most people would understand. We've told a couple
of friends, and they kinda understand. At least a little, I think. But
she's gonna tell the rest of them this week. I hope everybody's okay with
us."

"What about her sort-of girlfriend?"

"I know she's gonna be the most upset. She hates me too. She might hate me
even more after Paulina tells her. But she's not gonna break up with
her. They're too close, and there's something special between them. I don't
want them to lose that. I'll stay away if I have to."

"That's...super nice of you. You must really care for her a lot" Jen added.

"I do. She knows, too. But I know her feelings for me are strong as
well. We'll always love each other, no matter what happens."

"I hope so" she said sweetly.

.



I went to the living room to see who was there before getting our
drinks. More people showed up, but I didn't recognize most of them. I did
get a couple of interested looks from a couple of guys, but I just smiled
politely in passing. I wanted to see what the friends were up to. I walked
over very carefully, paying attention to my balance.

"Hello everyone" I said, trying to hide my giggle. "How's it going?"

"Hey, P. Everything's cool here. Where's your wife?" Shawn asked with a
laugh.

"She's talking with a nice couple who came and sat with us. They're
lesbians! Like real ones. They're super nice!" I couldn't hold in the
giggles this time.

"Oh, you mean Pat and her girlfriend? Um, Jennifer or Jenny?"

"Jen. They thought we were lesbians too, until I told them I was really a
boy, and that I liked boys as well. Mary likes boys, too. You know what she
said? That because we like both boys and girls, we're bisexual. I love
that! I love everybody!" I exclaimed.

"You sure do, P. You sure do."

"Hank, Jen said it's really cool that y'all taught me that it was okay for
anybody to like anybody they want. I didn't really realize most people
aren't like that. I guess most people are too stuffy about it. I'm so glad
you're not. But if y'all were, I'd still be the same! No one's gonna tell
me how to be!"

"That's right, no one should. Gotta be yourself, no matter what the world
thinks. People don't like it? Then fuck them" my dad replied.

"That's...that's so wonderful. I love you for that! It means a lot!" It was
so sweet that I was afraid I was going to tear up. I held it in, despite
being pretty tipsy. I gave him a tight hug, which he returned.

"We'll love you no matter what."

"I hope so I'll love you and the rest of you forever and ever. Unless y'all
do something to fall out of my good graces. Then y'all will get on my shit
list! So ya'll better not do anything to displease me. I don't like to be
displeased!"

We all burst out laughing.

"But you could redeem yourselves. Just ask Benny!" I giggled. Everyone
laughed again.

"So, refills, anyone? I see empty bottles" I said playfully.

"Sure thing. All around."

"K. Back in a sec" I replied sweetly.

.



"Hank, did you know she likes boys? We know she has crushes on older guys,
but she only talks about being with her girls. We know she likes Jan. I'm
pretty sure they've fucked around. She likes Yvonne, too, but I don't think
she's into chicks. Then her and Mary? There's no doubts there!" Shawn said.

"I guess she does, since she just told us. But she's never mentioned it."

"Hold a sec" Mike said. "You mean to tell me that she's messed around with
Jan? Hot Jan? Green eyes, big tits and dick sucking lips Jan?"

"The very same. They took a liking to each other the first time they
met. When her dude Jeff passes out here on the couch, she'll go get in bed
with Paulina. I have a feeling they don't go right to sleep, know what I
mean?" my dad replied with a grin.

"Well, fuck a duck. Jeff's an alright guy but I'd love to have some of
her. He's one lucky bastard. But Paulina? Even luckier!"

"Don't think it's luck, man" Pervert replied. "She goes after who she
wants. She's a little hunter, man. Just like Ann." He raised his Coke
bottle in salute.

"Yeah, she is a go-getter. Probably with everything, I think" Shawn added.

.



I arrived back with five beers and a Coke for Pervert. I giggled as I
handed them out in order. They were all giving me a peculiar look.

"Alright guys, what is it? I can see that y'all want to say something, so
out with it!" I said playfully.

"Paulina, you scoring with Jan?" Mike asked with a laugh.

"My Jan, whose luscious lips I can just fall in to? Well, a lady never
tells" I replied coyly.

"You are, aren't you! Come on, we can tell!"

"...Maybe" I giggled. "But she's wonderful and she's my friend. So no one
says a word about her, capisci? Do not embarrass or tease her. That will
displease me."

"Hey, hey, no problem. We all like her and wouldn't do that. I'm just
admiring your luck."

"Good. I love you too, but I'll straighten you out about it if I have to" I
said in a faux stern voice.

He looked back at me with the same expression before we all burst out
laughing.

"I'm gonna go join my wifey. Oh -- Mr. J, do y'all need refills? Sorry I
didn't ask."

"No, we're good. Thanks though."

"Okay. Catch y'all later. Ciao!"

.



The guys all watched me walk back to the kitchen. I was walking carefully
but still trying to have a little swish in my hips. It was harder than I
thought.

"Hank, you know she's sneaking drinks tonight." Shawn said.

"I know. But I'm gonna let it go for now. She's home and safe, so she can
enjoy a little. But not too much. Don't want her puking in the
bathroom. But her and Mary are keeping an eye on each other, so they should
be alright."

"What if Marie catches her? Might not be good."

"It's the weirdest shit -- they're actually getting along. Like almost
being nice to each other. So I don't think there'll be any trouble. If so,
I'll stop it."

"You know she got drunk that night she met Bernie, huh?"

"Yeah, I don't know how much she drank but I saw her teetering a bit when
she walked. But she kept her shit together and didn't make an ass of
herself, so I let it go. She had a great time. That was one of the first
times she stayed out all night partying with us. She was cool and handled
herself better than some other chicks that were here."

"Well she was by Bernie's side all night, so I think he was keeping a good
eye on her. She sure likes him!"

"Yeah, she's got a big crush on him. Young chicks have crushes on older
dudes all the time. But it was cool that he didn't blow her off."

"You know, Bernie really likes her too. Like I said before, he was
pleasantly surprised at how nice she was, and how she handled herself like
a chick that was older would. He was pretty impressed." Mike added.

"He's a good guy, so I don't mind. But when he shows up with another chick
and breaks her heart, I hope he lets her down gently" my dad said
semi-seriously.

"Here's to lettin' 'em down gently!" Jonny said while lifting his beer.

"Right on, man" Pervert added as they all clinked bottles.

.



I stopped in the kitchen and was about to pour a shot of vodka into our
drinks when I heard my dad behind me. I didn't notice that he followed
me. I was busted.

"Don't think I don't know what you've been doing in here." His voice was
firm but not upset.

"Sorry" I said sheepishly as I looked at my feet.

"I'm not mad. In fact I know you were drunk a couple of weeks ago when you
were with Bernie all night."

I blushed deep red.

"It's all right. You can drink some, but do not overdo it. Not you or
Mary. I don't want to hear about you puking your guts out I the bathroom or
anything. Okay?"

"Okay. Promise I won't go overboard."

"Alright. I'm getting some chips, so I'm not paying attention to what
you're doing, right?" he said with a wink.

"I didn't even see you in here" I giggled. "Thanks" I said sweetly.

He got the chips and walked out. I finished making our drinks and grabbed
beers for the ladies.

.



As I walked back to the couch in the family room, I looked over to see my
mother looking at me. I gave her a little smile. She returned one of her
own.

Ann and Dawn were watching me as well. They could tell I was drinking. Ann
was going to say something out loud but didn't want to get me in
trouble. She'd catch me by myself later.

"Hi ladies, I'm back with drinks."

"Paulina! Hey! I missed you!" Mary giggled with a crushy face.

"I missed you too, My Love." I blew her a little kiss. "So did I miss
anything?" I asked.

"Your girlfriend was telling us how lucky she feels to have gotten together
with you, only a couple days ago" Pat replied.

"I'm lucky too." I replied sweetly. "I'm glad she wanted to be with me and
let me take care of her." I squeezed her hand in mine.

"I told them about us, and how it'll be different when we're back at
school. I-I hope you don't mind" she said almost timidly.

"No, Sweetness. I don't mind." I patted her hair for a moment before
turning to Pat and Jen. "Yes, things will be different Monday. I told a
friend that I feel like Alice when she fell down the rabbit hole. That's
one of my favorite movies, by the way. Anyway, these last few days have
been like a wonderful dream. But we'll be back to reality soon, so we'll
have to figure something out then."

"She said you have another girlfriend?"

"I do. Or at least we're kind of girlfriends. Our relationship if different
though. I care for her deeply and she loves me but we're not physical. I
mean we kiss and stuff, but we haven't had sex. And we probably won't at
least not for a long time. She's a late bloomer, so I'm not doing anything
with her until she's ready. But I do love my Little Mouse. She's very
special to me."

"I see. Mary said your girl hates her."

"I assume she told you, but we've never gotten along. Mary was a bitch and
her and others would pick on my girl and her friends. So yeah, she pretty
much hates her. It's gonna be hard telling her about this weekend, but I'm
not gonna keep it from her. She's my girl, so she deserves to know."

"That's very honorable, young lady." Pat lifted her bottle in a
salute. "You better be prepared for it being a rough ride, though."

"I know. I'll do my best to not hurt her feelings and make sure she knows I
love her too."

"I wish you luck then. Girls, it's been a real pleasure meeting you. We're
gonna go play some pool. We'll say goodbye before we leave."

"Y'all, too. Thanks for hanging out and talking with us."

We all got up and gave each other hugs before they walked away.

.



"So, My Love" I said sweetly, "did you air out all our dirty laundry?"

"N-no! I mean, they asked, so I told them some things. Please don't be
upset with me" she said with a pout.

I pulled her into a hug.

"Of course not, Dear. Like I told you, it'll take more than that to upset
me. It seems like they kinda understood, huh?"

"Yeah. They were really nice. I've never met real lesbians before."

"I've known a few but they're the first couple I've met here."

"I'm glad they liked seeing us together. I'm glad everybody does. It feels
nice."

"Me too. It hasn't always felt good being here sometimes."

"Will you and your mom making peace help?"

"I hope so. We'll see how long it lasts. I'm not gonna lie and say I trust
her now, because I don't. But I'm gonna do my part to keep the peace with
her. Promise."

"Please do. I like that she likes me. I want to be able to come over
again. She said I could, more or less."

"But that, my dear, is up to me, not her." She gave me a little pout. "But
since you've been such a good little wife, I think I'll allow you to come
and be with me again!" I said in my imperial voice. We both looked at each
other before laughing.

"I'm so glad, My Love. My heart would break if you said I couldn't." She
dramatically covered her heart with both hands.

"Now, my trophy wife, what do you want to do? I know -- let's call
David. We told him we would."

Her eyes lit up. "Yes! Can we call him now? I want to tell him how much fun
we're having!

"Of course we can, my dear. And...want to call Carolina and Hil later?" I
asked mischievously.

 "Sure. Maybe it'll be as fun as last night" she giggled.

"Then, let's go!" I took her by the hand and carefully led her to my
room. We waved to all the ladies playing pool. Brenda and Rick were there
as well. My mother gave us a little smile, while Ann's expression said `I
know what y'all are up to'. We smiled back at them.

We had to pass by George, who was looking at Mary's ass again. I gave him a
dirty look and he quickly looked away.

I wanted to stop in the living room before we went to mine for a while.

.



Everyone was still there that I saw before. Both Mary and I got the
attention of the guys who were looking at me before, but I ignored them.

"Hey y'all. Mary and I want to give some friends a call, so we're going in
for a while. We'll probably be back out later. Mr. and Mrs. J, I wanted to
see y'all in case you leave before we're back out later. Please call me and
if I can sit for y'all, I will. I'll get that bossy boy of yours in line,
for sure!" I laughed.

"We'd love that. Our boy's gonna be in for a surprise!"

"More than one, man" Pervert said in his monotone. I gave him a look, which
he returned with a peace sign.

"And if she can't maybe I could some time. But I'm not as strict as her"
Mary added.

"That's fine, dear. They really are good boys, they just get rambunctious
sometimes" the Mrs. said.

"Can I get you a refill before we go?"

"Honey, that's very sweet. But you're not our waitress. You don't have to
ask every time you see us."

"I like to help. It makes me feel good, so I'm gonna do it. I hope y'all
don't mind."

"Not at all. We just don't want you to feel like you have to."

"I know. But I don't mind, really."

"In that case, yes, refills would be nice. Red for me and scotch on the
rocks for him."

"Coming up."

As I was turning to go, one of the guys sitting further down the couch
called me.

"Hey, foxy, can I get a refill too, while you're up?"

I gave him a serious face as I gave him a onceover. He looked to be twenty
or so, probably not much older than Benny.

"My name's not `Foxy.' And who are you? A gentleman would at least
introduce himself."

He just looked at me, surprised at my response.

I crossed my arms and tapped my foot. "I'm waiting. I don't like to
wait. Tonight would be nice" I said sternly.

The friends tried not to laugh. Mary giggled. My dad gave the guy a look of
`don't fuck with my girl'.

"Oh, um, I'm Dave. Sorry."

"Dave, huh? These manners must be a David thing." I gave Mary a glance. She
shrugged her shoulders with a weak grin. "So, Dave, you actually did ask,
so I will bring you a refill. What do you want?"

"You were asking them, so I thought---"

"What do you want?" I cut him off.

"I, um, brought some gin. Gin and tonic is good."

"Alright, I'll get it. But you better work on your manners. Do you want
something too?" I asked his buddy next to him.

"Um, no, I'm good. Thanks."

"I'll be back" I said with a hint of irritation in my voice before heading
to the kitchen.

"Hey, don't piss my kid off. That's not cool" My dad told him in a serious
voice.

"Sorry, Hank. I-I didn't mean to" he replied apologetically.

"Then you should apologize to her. It's Paulina, since you didn't ask."

"Oh, right." He sounded embarrassed.

.



I returned with the three drinks. I gave the J's theirs first. Then I
handed Dave his.

"Thanks. I mean thanks, Paulina" he said nervously.

"You're welcome, Dave. You will work on your manners before you speak to me
again, won't you?" I gave him a serious look.

"Yeah. Sorry about earlier."

"Good. Because if you don't, I will be displeased. I don't like being
displeased. Now if you'll excuse me, my girlfriend and I are going in for a
bit. Mary?" I held out my hand.

"Coming, My Love." she replied sweetly.

We turned to walk away, but I wanted something first. I went to the kitchen
and filled a big cup with ice and set two fresh lime wedges on top. I then
took the vodka bottle. It was almost empty, with only three or four shots
left in it.  I walked back to the group and held it up.

"Hank, I'm taking this. It's almost empty."

Everyone stared with surprise. He gave me a nod before I turned to go.

"Come along, Mary."

"Bye, y'all" she giggled. We carefully walked to my room, making sure we
kept our balance.

.



"That's pretty bold of her" Shawn said after a few moments.

"I talked to her about it in the kitchen. I told her she could have some
tonight. I'd rather her drink here than someplace else. At least we know
she's home and okay."

"You give her a lot of leeway, Hank" Mr. J said.

"She's pretty mature and responsible. I trust her to handle herself. She's
never made me question it."

"She is very mature for a fifteen year old, for sure" Mrs. J added.

"Fifteen?!? She's just fifteen?" Dave blurted out before realizing what he
said.

"Yeah, fifteen. I know she looks older but don't get any ideas about
fucking with her or her friend. You hear me?" my dad said.

"No, no, of course not. I don't mess with underage chicks. I surely thought
she was older, though."

"Good. I know she acts older too. Makes me worry sometimes. But I feel
better when she's home."

"We all do, too" Shawn added. My dad knew we were close, so he appreciated
hearing that.

.



We set our drinks and the vodka bottle down and kicked off my sandals. I
noticed Mary giving me a surprised look.

"What is it, dear?"

"How...how'd you do that? He just let you take it!"

"He saw me in the kitchen earlier when I was making new drinks. We talked
and he said it was okay tonight, as long as we handled ourselves
properly. No puking in the bathroom or anything. I promised we'd be good,
so het let me have it. But showing them the bottle? I wanted to show that
guy Dave that I didn't take any shit, and that my dad had my back. He's not
gonna fuck with me or you now."

"Oh. You know, it was kinda funny. I mean earlier. We all tried not to
laugh. I think you scared him. Or at least shocked him, that's for sure!"
she giggled.

"Good. I thought I was gonna have to make him my new shithead peasant in
front of everybody. But I didn't."

She gave me a big hug. "Can we call Dave now?" she asked sweetly.

"Yes. But first, here's to us. Salute!" We knocked back what remained of
our drinks. I used some of the ice, along with a generous pour of vodka to
make us new ones.

.



Mary dialed her brother.

"Hey you" she giggled, using the special sweet voice she kept for him.

"He you" he replied in kind.

"Hello David" I said in an overly sultry voice, which made her giggle more.

"Hey Paulina" he replied in a warmer voice than before.

"Dave, we're having soooo much fun! Heehee!" She couldn't stop herself from
giggling and laughing. "I miss you!"

"I miss you too. What are y'all doing"

"It's a secret, so you can't tell anybody. Pinky toe promise?"

"Pinky toe promise."

"We've been drinking vodka and 7-Up! With limes! It's so good! Everything
and everybody is so funny! I wanna do this with you! You'll have fun too!"

"Sure, I'll do it with you."

"Hahahaha! I know you will..." she said in her seductive voice. Mary was
definitely one of those girls who got amorous when she drank and let her
inhibitions down.

They both laughed.

"Hold on, Paulina wants you. Heeheee!"

"Mary! You're being a naughty girl! I might have to spank you again!
Hahaha!" I took the phone from her.

"David, we're a little tipsy and having a lot of fun, but do you want to
know what I found out? Or do you want me to tell you tomorrow?" I asked in
a serious voice.

"Will you tell me now?"

"Okay then. I heard from my...friend in Picayune. The one who told me what
to do. That piece of shit had an accident right about when my friend said
he would. His piece of shit van rolled over, caught on fire and burnt to a
crisp. Nothing was left. But he got out and made his way back
home. Unfortunately he wasn't hurt, but he won't be driving down to your
house anymore. Not for a long time, anyway. Some guys where he lives are
gonna talk to him tomorrow. I don't think he's gonna like what they tell
him. There's more, so I'll tell you when I find out everything. For now
though, he's gone. Maybe for good."

There's more? Why don't you tell me now?"

"I don't want to get into it. I'm very happy right now and don't wanna
think about him anymore. I'll tell you tomorrow, k?"

"...Alright. Um, thanks...for doing that."

"You're welcome. Things are different from now on for you and Mary, and
your mom and dad too. I'm just glad I could help" I said sincerely.

Mary tickled me and snatched the phone away with her long toes while I
squirmed and laughed.

"Did'ja hear that, Dave? No more uncle! He's gone! Finally! I almost cried
when Paulina told me `cause I was so happy. That bastard's gone! Gone gone
gone!!! EEEEEEEE!"

"I know. I'm so glad. He...he won't do anything to you anymore." She could
feel the genuine relief in his voice.

"And he won't be able to come over and be a dick to dad and try to touch
mom. Never again! I just want to scream! I'm so happy!"

"Darling, don't do that. People will wonder what's going on" I said
sweetly.

"Oh -- you're right. So I'm gonna scream quiet like. EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!" She
kept it pretty low.

"Hey you" she said sweetly again with a giggle. She had a little slur in
her voice.

"Hey you" he replied.

"Dave?"

"Mary?"

"I...I love her for all this, for everything she's done. I don't ever want
you to be mean or pissy or a dick to her ever again, okay? I mean it."

"...Yeah. I'll do my best."

"Good. `Cause if you don't, I won't let you fuck me for a while. You'll be
punished!" She tried to sound stern but ended up giggling.

"You better be nice, David, or it's no more sweet pussy for you! I'll eat
it up all myself!" I said over her shoulder.

"EEEEEE! Paulina! Well, you're right. Dave, you better be good! You will be
for me, won't you?" she asked in her sugary sweet voice.

"I will. I promise I'll try."

"Good. Hold on" she dropped the phone and pulled me close.

.



"Lovey dove, if Dave's being a good boy, could we...give him a reward? Like
I said before? The two of us?" She sucked her finger dramatically.

"Hmmm. He'll have to be reeaall good for that! I might have to ask him to
let me kill that little fucker David P. in return."

"Paulina! You're soooo bad! But I hate him too, so that's not a bad idea."
We both laughed.

"Alright, but don't tell him exactly, okay?" I giggled.

"Okay, Love."



She picked the phone back up.

"Hey you" she said sweetly.

"Hey you" he replied with the same sweetness.

"So we just talked and decided that if you're a good boy and do what I
said, then you might get a present. From both of us. But only if you're
really good!" Both of us giggled.

"Okay, I'll be good. What kind of present?"

"Oh, you'll have to wait for that. But I promise you'll like it" she
replied with her sultry voice.

"Mmm, okay." We could almost hear him smiling.

I took the phone.

"David? There's one condition though."

"What?"

"You'll have to let me kill David P." Mary and I burst into laughter.

"Ha!" He let out a little laugh with us. "He's a pain in the ass and a
little dickhead sometimes, but do you need to kill him? I mean, can't you
just beat his ass or something?" he replied with a chuckle.

"Hmm. Mary, he's on to something. We can lure him to your house. Y'all
won't tell him but I'll be waiting in your room, David. He'll come in and
I'll jump him. I'll pull off his pants and hold him down and smack his
lily-white ass like a child until it's bright red and he's screaming for
mercy!"

They were quiet for a moment before they both cracked up.

"You know, I bet his little dick would be hard while I did it. It would be
right between my thighs if I bent him over my knee. I bet if I spanked him
enough, he'd cum! HAHAHAHA!!!"

"OMYGOD! He totally would!" she exclaimed.

"David, I really don't like him. You will take care of this, won't you? I
don't want to hear his pissy little voice being bitchy to me and my friends
anymore. See to it, okay?" I asked sweetly.

"Alright. I'll make him shut up."

"Good. That pleases me! Y'all know I like to be pleased." We all laughed
again.

"David?" I asked in a serious sounding tone.

"What?"

"I really am pleased with both of you. I know we didn't like each other
before but Mary trusted me to help her. You trusted me to take care of
her. And I trusted you to help me take care of your piece of shit
uncle. We've all helped each other. I like this. It's peaceful. It takes so
much energy and time to not be. Can we keep this peace? It would mean a
lot."

He got the feeling that I meant a lot more than I was saying. But he was
truly grateful that I helped put an end to Mary being hurt.

Mary reflected on what I just said, also knowing that I meant more than
just what was between the three of us. She knew that my mother and I making
peace earlier really was a momentous occasion like Ann said.

"Dave, it's been a whole weekend of new peace. I like it. I-I don't want it
to end. Please say yes. It's so much better."

"I know, you're right. I will. I don't want to fight anymore either."

"Thanks. I love you! I love you so much! Smoooch!" She blew him a big kiss.

"I love you too, Dave. Smooch!" I imitated her. We both cracked up.

"I, um, I love y'all too" he said kind of low.

"What was that? I didn't hear you!" I exclaimed playfully.

"I...love you too, Paulina."

"Thanks, David. Now was that so hard?" I tried to sound serious but giggled
instead.

"No...I guess not." He said grudgingly.

"Good. Then I expect hugs and a kiss the next time I see you. And no
half-ass shit, either. You're gonna put some feeling in it, okay?"

"O-okay." He sounded a little nervous.

"Hold on. I need another drink. Sugar plum, do you want some more, too?"

"Yes please! Heehee!" she laughed and giggled tipsily.

"Okay you two, pay attention. David, just listen close, okay? I'm gonna
teach y'all to make an awesome Vodka Seven!" I said mischievously. "First,
we finish the little bit we have left. Salute, My Love!" He heard us clink
glasses and take the finishing sips.

"Now first up is the ice. Fill the glass up to the top. Vodka needs to be
really cold. Next, we put a shot in. There's a little thing called a
jigger, but I don't have one, so I use a shot glass. Love, pour one shot
and put it in." She did it perfectly.

"Excellent! Now, fill the rest of the glass with 7-Up. All the way to the
top. To finish it off, add the lime. Just one piece. You can squeeze it a
little if you want." She added it.

"Now taste." We both took a sip. It tasted just right. Not too strong.

"Excellent, dear. This is perfect. Now make the next one and it'll be for
me."

"Okay! Dave, we're gonna sneak dad's vodka one night and I'm gonna make you
one. It's gonna be perfect too!"

"Cool. That'll be fun."

"Ohmygod, I can't wait! You're gonna love it!" They laughed some more. "Oh
-- hold on, okay?" She set the phone down.

He could hear us whispering.

.



"What, Lovey Dove? You look like you're thinking about something naughty!"
she giggled to me.

I rubbed my hands together with a devilish face like an evil character from
an old movie.

"You wanna be really bad, my passionflower? It'll be hot and fun!"

"Okay! What is it?"

"We're gonna call one of my gentleman friends!"

"Oh! You are bad! But okay!"

"Cool. He's single so he should be up if he's not on a date or just went
out. Now let's let David go."

"K."

.



She picked the phone back up.

"Hey you."

"Hey you too."

"We're gonna go and have some more fun" she giggled. Then she used her low,
sultry voice. "Dave, I can't wait to see you. I want you to fuck me good
tomorrow after mom and dad go to bed. But first I'm gonna suck your dick
and swallow all your delicious cum! It's gonna be awesome, I promise!"

"Yeah, I want you too. Come home soon, okay? I miss you!"

"Me too. Let me go. I love you, Dave. So much!"

"Love you too."

"See you tomorrow. Smooch!"

 She hung up.



"So, My Love, who are we calling?"

"I'll tell you, but first I wanna know if you're serious about wanting to
try sex with an older guy, like you said." I tried to sound serious.

"Hmm, I think so. I want to feel a really big one inside me. Bigger than
Dave. Like a cucumber big!" she giggled. "And I wanna swallow a big ole'
load of cum. It's sooo good."

"Mmm, it sure is. But it'll probably be two of them. One's older than our
dads but he's real handsome and nice. The other is younger and he's hot!
And he's got a super big one!"

"Oooo, okay. I'll do it! It'll be fun. You promise they're nice and won't
hurt us or anything?" She had a hint of concern in her voice.

I palmed one of her cheeks.

"Love, I'll never let anyone hurt you. Not while I'm with you. I promise."

"Okay. I know you won't. I trust you completely, My Love."

"Cool! Now, do you want to go out and say goodnight to everyone, or do you
want to just stay in here?"

"Let's go say goodnight. Everyone's been so nice!"

"Okay. Come on."

We took another sip of our drinks before I led her out by the hand.

.



In the living room, my mother, Ann and Dawn had joined the guys. Rick and
Brenda were gone, so I assumed they were either in the family room or they
had left together. The J's had just left.

"Hey y'all" I said with a giggle.

"Hey!" Mary waved at everyone with a big smile.

Everyone either gave us a wave or raised their drinks to us.

"Hey girls. Y'all staying up and hanging out for a while?" my dad asked.

I looked at Mary one more time to see if she wanted to. She gave me a `no'
nod.

"No, I think we're gonna go to bed. It's been a long day. But really fun!"
I exclaimed, hoping I wasn't too loud.

"It's been so much fun! Thanks for letting me hang out. too."

"No problem, Mary. You're a cool chick and are welcome to come back. Maybe
you and Marie and partner up again in pool and win some more" he added.

"I'd love that!" She tried to hold in a giggle but couldn't quite do
it. "Marie, thankyouthankyouthankyou sooo so much for teaching me! You're
sooo good!"

"Glad you had fun. You learn well. We can definitely play again the next
time you're here" she said warmly.

"Well, we just wanted to come say good night. We need to go get our beauty
rest!" I giggled. "So I want my hugs! And Mary can have some too."

I always got hugs from everyone before going to bed, but they were all
getting a kick out of seeing me demand them while almost drunk.

.



Everyone stood up and came around to hug me. The guys didn't hug Mary but
just said smiled and said good night.

My dad was first. "Thanks so much for letting us have fun tonight. Love
you!" I said in his ear.

"Love you too, kiddo" he replied as he hugged me.

.



Mike was next. "It was sooo great to see you! I'm glad you came!"

"Great to see you too, Paulina."

I whispered in his ear while we hugged. "Thanks so much for introducing me
to Bernard last month. He's wonderful!"

My whisper was more than crushy. He smiled to himself when he caught that I
called him Bernard and that I said he is wonderful, as in the present
tense. He thought he might have to investigate things himself. But he'd
never say anything about whatever he discovered.

.



Shawn and Dawn were next. He gave my butt a pat as he hugged me, as did
Dawn.

"Love you two! I giggled.

"We love you too" he replied.

Dawn also gave Mary a hug. "Glad you had fun."

"Thanks for letting me hang out and talk with y'all."

.



Ann hugged her next. "You're a cool chick. Glad you had fun."

"Thanks. You're so sweet!"

When I gave Ann a hug, I whispered with a giggle "See you in the bathroom
again later?"

"Maybe. You never know. I hope y'all are enjoying that vodka."

"We sure are!" I giggled.

"Hope you're not hung over in the morning." We both laughed.

.



Mary gave my mother a big hug, which she returned. "Thanks so much,
Marie. You've been so nice to me!"

"You're welcome, dear. Like I said, you're not one of those stupid,
obnoxious young girls who get on everyone's nerves. You know how to handle
yourself. Come back anytime, alright? Even if he's not here."

"I will. Thanks again" she replied sweetly.

.



Jonny gave me a hug next. "'Night, P. Y'all sleep well."

"You're gonna have to find somebody to be with. I mean, you Rick's ahead of
you now!" We both laughed.

.



I noticed that Dave, the guy who wanted a drink refill earlier, was
standing also. I looked at him before he spoke.

"Can I hug you too? I mean, everyone's doing it" he said nervously.

I gave him a cool look before replying.

"No, I don't think so. I don't know you and haven't seen you here
before. If I see you again in the future, I'll consider it if you are
polite and mind your manners."

"Oh...okay. Well, good night."

"You too."

.



The guys all received the shock of the night when my mother and I
hugged. Dawn and Ann had not told them about us making peace, at least for
the night.

"Mother, good night. I enjoyed playing pool with you. And thanks for
letting Mary talk with y'all for a while. I appreciate it."

"Good night. It was no problem. She was good company."

We gave each other a brief hug. Everyone was quiet while it happened.

She sat back down and I took Mary's hand.

"Good night everyone" I said before carefully leading her back to my room.

.



The silence lasted few a few more moments before my dad gave my mother a
surprised look.

"Um, did something happen with you two?" he asked her.

"We...made peace for the night. It was...nice" she replied coolly.

"Marie did great. Since seemed pleasant earlier, I encouraged them to make
peace, if just for tonight. I don't think they would have wanted Mary to
see them giving each other a hard time" Dawn said.

"Wow. I'm impressed. And it ended with a hug! I'm glad, honey." He gave my
mother a big hug.

"She learned that Paulina's really a good kid and about how caring and
protective she can be about the people she's close to. And that she doesn't
take shit from anybody. Just like her mother!" Dawn poked her in the arm,
earning her a slight smile.

"We...do have some similar qualities" she quietly admitted.

"Well, I don't know what y'all did, but I'm happy. Here's to peace between
you!" My dad and everyone else raised their drinks in salute. She clinked
his and Dawn's.

"We'll see if it lasts, but it was nice to have it tonight. Right, Marie?"
Dawn nudged her.

"Yes" she answered with a little smirk.

"Here's to peace, man." Pervert raised his Coke bottle and gave my mother a
rare smile.

"Time to celebrate! I'm gonna roll us a big one!" My dad proceeded to roll
a cigar-sized joint.

.



Once we were back in my room, I kicked off my sandals and began to
undress. I was more tipsy than Mary since I had more to drink than her, so
when I pulled the ribbon off my pony tail and shook my hair out, I got
dizzy. My balance was suddenly not so great.

"Here, Love. I'll undress you. Stand still" she said sweetly.

"Thanks, dear."

"It's my turn to take care of you for a while."

"But it's not a trade. I want---"

She cut me off. "I want to, so just let me. Now be a good girl and stand
still" she giggled.

My top came off first, then my skirt. Running her hands over my smooth
skin, I let out an `mmm' as she drew circles around my nipples with her
fingertips before moving lower. She made more circles around my belly
button before reaching my panties. Slowly pulling them down, she caressed
my big clit and little balls as she pulled them off.

"Lay down, My Love."

I did what she said. The sheets felt nice and cool against my skin. I let
out another sigh of pleasure. I smiled to myself because I felt so good. I
closed my eyes and enjoyed the moment.

I felt her crawl in bed next to me. She was already nude.

"How are you feeling, Darling?" she asked sweetly.

"Wonderful, dear."

"Are you tired? Do you want to sleep?"

"I'm tired but not sleepy yet. I want to lay still for a few minutes
though. I feel like I'm swimming a little!"

"Okay, Love. Lay still."

"I will. Can we call Carolina while we do?"

"If you'd like."

"I would like" I giggled.

"Okay. I'll call them. They're probably at Hil's house.

.



She dialed her number from memory.

"Hello?"

"Hi Hil. Paulina and I wanted to see if y'all were still up. I figured you
would be. I hope you don't mind."

"Hey Mary. No, it's okay. We're just sitting around talking."

"Really? Just talking?" she giggled.

"Yes...now. What are you two doing?"

"We're laying in bed. We're both pretty tipsy, like she says, and she was
starting to not quite walk straight. We really had to concentrate!" More
giggles.

"Did y'all drink drinks again?" she asked playfully.

"Yes! All night! And no one said anything. You know what she did when we
were telling everybody good night? She grabbed the bottle of vodka and told
her dad she was taking it! In front of everybody! It was almost empty, but
still."

"Holy cow! What did he do? Did he get mad?"

 "No. He let her take it. She said he caught her in the kitchen earlier and
told her she could have some as long as we didn't get drunk and messy and
throw up in the bathroom or anything. So we made sure we didn't. We were
silly though, and I bet everybody knew before that" she giggled.

"You two are bad! But it sounds like fun."

"We are not bad! We're wonderful and like to have fun!" I said over her
shoulder.

"Hey, P. You know you're bad!"

"...Maybe?" We all laughed.

"Emp, how do you feel, since you had to lay down?" Carolina asked.

"I'm good. My head was swimming for a little while, that's all. My cuddle
bunny here is trying to take care of me" I pouted a little.

"I bet she is."

"Well, you've been taking care of me for the last three days, so I wanna
take care of you, my little care bear" she giggled.

"But Mar---"

She put her hand over my mouth.

"Y'all, she's so stubborn! She doesn't want me to take care of her the same
way. She says `It's not a trade'" imitating my imperial voice, which made
them laugh. "I know that, but I want to anyway. I...like it. Carrie, she
listens to you. Tell her to let me!"

"Emp, you better listen to your wife. Be nice and let her take care of
you. Even if it's just a little while." She used her bossy voice, which I
liked. After a moment, the three of them laughed again.

"Okay, okay, you win. You may take care of me. But just for a little while"
I tried not to giggle as I tried to sound imperial. It didn't quite come
out right.

"Y'all, Um, thanks a lot for letting me come today. It...it really means a
lot." Being very tipsy, it was easy to let her emotions out. "I-I want my
friends back. I want new ones. I want to be included when Paulina is being
sweet and protective of y'all at school. I-I was sooo jealous of that. I
wanted someone to look out for me and help me. I-I ruined that with
y'all. I-I really regret that!" She started tearing up and sniffling,
trying not to cry.

She wiped her eyes with a tissue for a moment, then blew her nose before
speaking again.

"S-sorry, y'all, don't mean to be a crybaby. But I promise promise that
I'll never be a bitch to anybody we know ever again! You'll see!"

I was sitting up on an elbow, watching how emotional she was while she
spoke. Her sincerity was real. I had no doubts.

"We believe you, Mary, but you're gonna have to show us as well. If you
stay nice, I'm sure the girls will like you again.

"Oh, thank you thank you! I promise I will!" She teared up again, but these
were happy tears.

I motioned for her to give me the phone.

"Ladies, today was a test, of sorts. Everyone was excellent, and I am very
pleased!" I was being imperial again. "So tonight was the celebration for
it going perfectly. But it wasn't the only success." I looked at Mary and
asked if I could tell them. She shook her head yes.

"As of this afternoon, that piece of shit uncle of hers will no longer be a
problem. Or at least not for a very, very long time. He won't be able to
come down here and hurt her anymore."

Carolina gasped. "Emp, exactly what do you mean? What happened?" She
sounded very concerned.

"I sabotaged his van last night, as I told y'all earlier. This afternoon,
on the way back to Ozona, all of my efforts payed off at the same time,
causing him to crash. It caught on fire, but he was able to escape. The van
totally burnt up. Evidently there wasn't much left. Now he has no car to
drive down here with. And I don't think anybody will let him use theirs. If
he even has any friends. So I took care of Mary's problem successfully. I
am very pleased with my work."

"But Emp, what if he got really really hurt? Or...died?" she asked quietly.

"And what of it? Do people like that who mercilessly hurt others not
deserve to feel pain in return? And if he died, then too bad. He would have
earned it. I've heard of this thing called Karma. It means that whatever
you do comes back to you. You get what you deserve. Nobody who does the
shit he did deserves to get off free. So maybe I'm his karma coming to pay
him back for what he did."

"Oh. I...I guess that makes sense. But if he died...it would kinda be your
fault. You coulda got in big trouble. The police would have taken you
away. We'd probably never see you again." She sounded sad.

"Carolina, he didn't die, so I'm not going anywhere. But I'm not gonna lie
-- part of me wishes he did. More happened than y'all know, but now's not
the time to talk about it. So tonight, in light of my successful mission,
we celebrated."

"That's not the only good thing. Tell them!" Mary said so they could both
hear.

"What else, Emp?"

"I, um...my mother and I made peace for the night. We actually had an okay
time being around each other." I tried to not sound too warm about it.

"Don't be like that, Love. It was more than that. They were nice to each
other. She went and got her mom new glasses of wine when they were empty,
and they talked a little. They even played a game of pool together and had
fun. It was nice to see. I like her mom, and she let me hang out for a good
while. She was really nice to me. She said I was cool for a chick our age."

"Wow! That's big, Emp. Are y'all gonna stay nice to each other?"

"I hope so. I just want things to be peaceful between us. It doesn't mean
that I trust her or forgive her for what she did, but it'll be less
stressful when we have to be around each other."

"I have a feeling y'all will!" She gave me a big kiss.

"I'm gonna do my part. I guess she'll do hers too."

 "Good, Emp. I'm glad for you" Carolina said sweetly.

I heard a big YAWWWN in the background.

"Sorry y'all. I've got a big sleepy Tiger here. Come here, big kitty. Put
your head on my lap. Good girl."

"Rowww. Purr purr. Mmmm" Hilary replied with a tired giggle as she pet her
hair.

"I'm tired too, so we're gonna go. I'm glad...things worked out like you
wanted, Emp. I'm glad for you too, Mary."

"Thank you, my dear. Take care of that Tiger of yours. Keep petting
her. Sounds like she loves it!" I giggled.

"Oh, she does. Y'all, she's already asleep. She's so cute! Her toes are
curled up. That's when I really know she likes something" she said
mischievously.

"Good night, my dear. Kiss her for me."

"I will. Good night, Empre--- Paulina. You too, Mary." She cringed because
she almost called me Empress.

"'Night, Carrie."

.



"You feeling better, My love?" She asked as she stroked my hair.

"I am. Much better. I don't feel like I'm swimming anymore."

"Good. I'm so glad."

"Come here, my sweet. I...do like you taking care of me a little. It feels
good."

I pulled her into a slow but passionate kiss that lasted almost a minute.

"So, my dear, you still up for calling one of my gentleman friends?" I
asked with a naughty giggle.

"Sure, this'll be fun!"

"You know if we talk to him and agree to go meet him some time, it would be
rude to back out. Unless something unavoidable happened."

"I know. It sounds so exciting! I'll do it with you. Promise I won't back
out unless I really really have to."

"Alright, let's call him. His name's John. The other man is Jack, but he's
married so we can't call him."

"EEEEE! He's married?!? But...that's not cool, huh?"

"It's cool with him, so it's cool with me. I'd never tell on him or
anything, so it's fine. I'm sure he hasn't told anyone about me sucking his
dick on the train!" I giggled.

"Oh -- you're probably right. So, do they know you're not a real girl?"

"I'm not sure. I don't think John would care. Don't know about Jack
though. If he's not, you two will have each other then."

"What's he like?"

"Very handsome and nice. His name is Jack. A businessman, so he's a
gentleman and has really good manners. He's the one who sent me the gold
barrettes. You'll probably get a present, too. I told you you'll have to
earn your own!" I tickled her stomach, which made her squirm and laugh.

"How old is he?"

"I'd say late forties. He's in really good shape for a guy that age and
he's got a really nice dick and big balls!"

"Well, I really wanna big one so he sounds cool. I'll just try not to think
about doing it with my dad's boss!" We both laughed.

"And the other guy?"

"He's probably both of our dad's age, so like middle or late thirties. He
looks more athletic than Jack. I think he goes to the gym or
something. He's real handsome, too. His dick and is balls are even bigger!
And Jack wasn't small. It took me a minute to get used to sucking it. But
he came so much! It was sooo good!"

"Mmm, that sounds good. Okay, wanna call him?"

"Okay. Let's see if he's home."

.



I got John's card and dialed his number.

"Hello?" He sounded surprised to hear someone calling him after
midnight. He was hoping it was one of the women he fucked around with now
and then, looking for what we call now a booty call.

"Hello, John. This is Paulina. How are you doing?" I asked in my sultry
voice, which turned into a giggle.

"Well, hello there Paulina! How've you been? I was hoping we'd hear back
from you. You're sounding pretty happy!"

"I am. I'll tell you something but you gotta keep it a secret!"

"Of course."

"We've been drinking drinks all night! Heeheehee!"

"And what kind of drinks?"

"Um, adult ones. Vodka Sevens, to be exact" I giggled.

"Ah, the young lady likes cocktails along with her red wine and Mimosas!"

"I sure do!" We both laughed.

"Did you get the present Jack sent? I hope you liked it."

"I did! I was wearing them last night and got several compliments on how
pretty they are. You and Mr. Jack have good taste!" I giggled loudly,
thinking about how their cum tasted.

"Glad you like them. But I have a confession -- we had help picking them
out. Our office manager Joyce found a few for us to choose from. We figured
you'd like the gold ones with the crowns because we remembered your
necklace."

"Still, that was so thoughtful of y'all, even though you didn't totally
pick them out."

"Well, with that talented mouth of yours, you definitely deserved something
nice! We both hope to see it soon" He said suggestively.

"Speaking of which, I was hoping you could show me that house you told me
about. It sounded beautiful!"

"We'd love that. I think the guy and his family will be gone starting next
week, so we can set something up then."

"John..." I twirled the end of my ponytail and sounded flirty like I was
there with him. "Um, if I came you see y'all, would it be okay if I, um,
brought a girlfriend with me?"

"Hell yeah! Is she as pretty and likes to have as much...fun as you do?"

"Yes, she's beautiful!" Mary blushed. "She's never been with older
gentlemen like you or Mr. Jack. She wants to feel a man-sized dick and
swallow a big `ole load of cum! HEEHEEHEE!"

"Well, you bring her along then. I've got a nice big one waiting right here
for both of y'all. Jack's packing a good one too."

"Oh goody! I mean, um, wonderful." I tried to not sound like a teenage girl
for a moment, but it totally didn't work.

I pulled Mary closer to the phone.

"John, this is my girlfriend Mary. Mary, this is one of my gentleman
friends John."

"Hi John, nice to meet you. I mean meet you on the phone" she tried to
sound sultry as she tried not to giggle.

"Nice to talk to you, too. You have a beautiful voice. I bet the rest of
you is beautiful as well" he replied smoothly.

She blushed. "Thank you!" she replied sweetly, still trying not to giggle.

I got serious for a moment. Or as serious as I could get while being almost
drunk.

"John, can I ask you something? Like, kinda important?"

"Sure, honey. What's on your mind?"

"I, um, don't want you or Mr. Jack to be upset, but I-I have to tell you
something."

He could tell I was a little nervous. "What is it?"

"I, um, I don't want y'all to not like me if I say. Promise you won't?"

"Of course we're still gonna like you. Now come on, tell me what it is."

"I'm, um, I'm really a boy. I'm a boy but I like to be pretty and dress
cute like a girl" I replied nervously."

"Ahh, well that explains a lot. Jack and I, and even that old porter, we
knew you were different but couldn't put our fingers on it. Makes sense
now. Strong looking arms and legs, along with that flat chest. But with
that mouth of yours, and that cute little ass, I don't care. Jack'll
probably be surprised but he's not gonna change his opinion of you."

"Ohmygod, that makes me feel so much better. I was worried. Some people
kinda get turned off or freak out when they find out I'm not a real girl."

"Don't you worry none. I'm a...pretty open-minded guy" he chuckled.

"I kinda figured. You kissed me when I still had your cum in my mouth. I've
heard a lot of guys wouldn't do that."

"Hahaha! You're right. But it's my cum, so it's no biggie. Now if it was
another dude's, then I probably would have passed."

"So, um, will you...still want to fuck me, even though I'm not a real
girl?"

"Hell yeah! I love fuckin' a tight little asshole. I've got a few girls I
fuck with that love it."

"Yayy! I'm so glad! Your dick is gonna stretch me out a lot. It's gonna
feel so good!" I exclaimed with delight."

"Well I knew you'd have a tight one when you let me give it a good squeeze
on the train. So I assume your friend Mary has a tight little pussy that
needs some stretching as well?"

"EEEEEE!" He heard her in the background. She blushed a deep red.

"She sure does. It's super tight and tastes real good, too" I giggled.

"Good. I love to eat some good pussy."

"Hers is delicious!" I could see her blush again.

"I'm looking forward to it then. I'm sure Jack is, too."

"So are we!"

"I assume we'll be bringing two presents?" he chuckled.

"That would be so nice of y'all!" I said sweetly.

"Well, we'll have to get right on it then." We all laughed.

"John? Thanks for not being freaked out or anything with me."

"No problem. You're a little beauty, so it doesn't matter. Plus, it's a
little late for it if I was, huh?"

"Oh, yeah."

"Honey, you've got nothin' to worry about, okay?"

"K. Well we're getting tired, so I think we'll go. I'm so glad you were
up. I can't wait to see you! She's looking forward to meeting y'all, too."

"Alright beautiful, go and get your beauty sleep. I'll call and let you
know when my friend leaves and we can go check out his house together. I'll
be talking to Jack in the morning, so I'll tell him you called."

"Great. You sleep well too. Byeee!" we said in unison.

.



"So, what do you think?"

"Ohmygod! He sounded hot!" Mary exclaimed.

"He really is pretty good looking. And he's pretty cool, too. Well, you
heard him."

"I sooo wanna do this! You have me wet just thinking about it!"

She fingered her wet pussy and then ran them across my lips. I opened my
mouth and sucked them clean.

"God, you taste good!  Get up here and sit on my face!"

"Mmm mmm!" She hummed as she crawled over my chest and straddled my head
with her knees.

She was so wet that her juice was almost dripping on my chin. Slowly
lowering herself, I started licking and sucking her lips as soon as I could
reach them.

"Ohhhh" she let out with a little shiver.

Lowering a little more, my tongue was able to snake inside her pussy. I
alternated between this and sucking her lips.

"Ohhhhh Love, that feels soooo good..."

"Push your hips forward."

She did so, exposing her sensitive little ass to my tongue. I started by
licking her perineum, then moving down to her sensitive little pink
starfish. I drew little circles around it before poking the center with the
tip of my tongue. She relaxed and pushed out slightly, allowing the tip in.

"Mmmm, that's sooo good...yesss...lick it." She shivered every time my
tongue touched her.

I moved back up her perineum to her lips, then her clit. I concentrated my
attention there, making strong circles around the hood and licking the head
directly. She was quickly on the verge of orgasm. With a shudder, it
arrived.

"Ohhh...that's it...don't
stop...unhhhh...unhhh...ohhhh...ahhhh...AHHHHHHH!!!" Her juices covered my
chin and lips as she came.

She collapsed next to me, glistening with sweat. Her heart and her breath
were still racing. I could see her have little tremors as she started to
relax.

"Oh...My Love...that...that was...incredible. I'm so...done" she panted.

"I'm so glad you like it. You taste so good. I could do this whenever I see
you" I replied sweetly.

Her hand went down between my legs and gripped my hard big clit.

"Now my turn" she purred as she slid down my side. Her warm slippery skin
felt so good against mine.

She wrapped her lips around me, slowly sucking it all the way in and
out. It felt incredible as she used the tip of her tongue on the sensitive
spot underneath the head where it met the shaft.

"Ooooooo...that's sooo good..." I murmured.

"Ummmm" she hummed while I was fully in her mouth. When she was all the way
down, I felt her tongue lick my little scrotum.

While she was sucking me to the hilt, she fingered herself, getting them
slick. As she sucked, she rubbed little circles around my little rosebud. I
thought I was going to cum right then and there, but I held on a little
longer.

She could feel that I was about to cum, so she increased the intensity of
her sucking. As I tensed up just before coming, she stuck her middle finger
up my ass hard. That was it. I thought my heart was going to beat out of my
chest. I exploded in her mouth. She swallowed my cum without missing a
beat.

"AAAAHHHHHHUHHHMMMMM!!!" I shook and shivered for a few moments before
slowing down.

"Oh...Mary...that was...incredible..." I could barely speak.

"All for you, My Love" she whispered lovingly.

"Mmmmm" was the only reply I could make as I lay there catching my breath.

.



"Are you thirsty, darling?" she asked.

"Yes, a drink sounds good."

"We only have about one shot of vodka left. I'll make it and we'll share
it."

"Okay, sounds good."

"Crap. We're out of ice."

"I'll go get some." I started to get up but she stopped me.

"I'll get it, Love. I'm already up."

"Put a t-shirt on before you go out." She had put on her pink negligee
babydoll and panties, but I didn't want her to go out just wearing
that. She slipped a large shirt over it.

"Leave the door open an inch so you don't need my key."

"K." Shew blew me a kiss before walking out.

.



Walking down the short hall towards the kitchen, she saw a guy coming
towards her. Not wanting to be seen, she ducked back into my room and
locked the door.

"What's wrong?" I sounded concerned.

"I saw that guy you bitched out earlier walking through the kitchen. I
think he was going to the bathroom. I don't think he saw me."

"I hope not. I don't want to have to get up and straighten his ass out."

Unfortunately, he did see her, and he wanted to catch up with her.

.



Knock knock. We heard a soft knocking on my door.

"Who is it?" I answered sternly.

"Hey baby, I saw you go in there. Come on out, I wanna talk to ya" we heard
him slur.

"You are disturbing me and I don't like to be disturbed. You need to turn
around and leave or go pass out somewhere. You will quit bothering
us. Now."

He tapped the door again. "Come on, don't be like that. I jus' wanna talk
to ya. I'll be real quiet. Just let me in."

He tried to turn the locked doorknob, which crossed the line. With an angry
scowl, I got up. I almost grabbed my letter opener off my desk.

"I am giving you one more chance to get the fuck away from my door. If you
don't, you're going to pay."

"Haha, you're funny, girl. Lemmie come in and talk, jus' for a little
while."

I had enough and opened the door.

"Y-you?!? Where's the other hot chick? I seen her go in there." He said
drunkenly as he tried looking over my shoulder.

"Motherfucker, do you have a problem understanding English? I was clear and
told you to go away" I said coldly.

"I don' wanna talk to you. I want the other lil' fox."

"You mean my girlfriend? I told you earlier.

"She ain't got a boyfrien' here then" he chuckled.

"So then you like to mess with underage girls? You're sleazy and you're
pissing me off. I told you to go away and leave us alone."

"That hot chicky's legal. Jus' look at 'er."

"Enough." I stepped into the hallway, pushing him down as I did. He was
drunk and couldn't keep his balance.

"Whaaa?" He fell on his ass.

As he tried to get up, I walked over him and leaned down. Before he could
do anything, I punched him in the nose, breaking it. It immediately started
bleeding. I brought my fist to my lips and licked the blood off. He watched
in pain with a frightened look on his face.

I leaned in closer.

"I don't want to have to bite you as well." I bared all my teeth
menacingly. "So you're gonna crawl out of here away from my door. I don't
want to see you again before I wake up this morning, so you better be
gone. Capisci?"

"Y-yeah. Owww..." He tried to hold his nose and stop the bleeding.

"Good. Now get the fuck away from me."

He got to his feet and staggered back through the kitchen to the family
room.

I was still thirsty, so I followed him. He made it halfway across the room
before laying on the floor next to one of the couches. I grinned with
satisfaction as I turned around to get our drink.

I didn't realize that I was only wearing was a pair of pink panties. I was
bent over, getting ice out of the freezer when I noticed two feet across
the floor. I quickly stood up and whipped around, not knowing who it was
yet.

It was Dave from earlier.

"Oh, uh, hi. S-sorry." He was trying not to look but he clearly had been
watching me for a minute or two. I couldn't remember if he knew I was
really a boy or not.

I gave him a dirty look. "Dave, I'm not in the mood for anybody else's
shit. I know you were watching me, so take a good look. Satisfy your
curiosity?" Putting my hands on my hips, I turned in a circle. I rubbed my
crotch for a moment before giving it a good squeeze. He could definitely
see the outline of my now hard clit.

"Um, y-yeah" he replied with a gulp.

"Good. Now get the fuck out of my way so I can go back to bed. Now."

"I-I'll come back." He quickly left the room.

I sighed to myself and headed back to my bedroom.

"Love, what was that noise?" She saw my fist, which still had some blood on
it. "What happened?!? Are you alright?" She walked over to me with concern.

"It's nothing, sweetie. That guy pissed me off and tried to get in, so I
broke his nose." I gave my fist another good lick, trying to get all the
blood off.

"Here, let me do that. You already tasted it." She pulled a Wet One out of
the container and wiped my fist off. "Um, you know you went out there in
just your panties, huh?"

"Yeah. After I hit that guy, I was bent over getting some ice out the
freezer. That guy Dave came in and got a good look at my ass. So I turned
around and told him to take a good look and not stare at me anymore before
I got pissed off with him, too. I gave my big clit a good squeeze."

"What did he say?"

"He looked pretty surprised, then said he was sorry and left."

"Oh. That's good."

"Yes. I didn't want to have to straighten him out too."

"Thanks for dealing with that guy. I wouldn't have been as brave as
you. And, you did it for me. I love you for that" she said with a sweet
smile.

"I take care of My Love" I replied with a victorious face."

We laid down again and she snuggled close with her chin on my shoulder.

A few quiet moments passed before she spoke.

"Paulina? I-I'm tired but don't want to go to sleep. I know this'll be the
last night I get to sleep with you for a while. Tomorrow is the last day
we'll be close for a while, too. I don't want it to end." Her voice was
sad.

"I don't know when we'll be together like this again, or how long it will
be before we talk again at school. I don't really want it to end either,
but we both knew from the beginning it would. I just want us to enjoy the
time we have together. I don't know if I have plans for next weekend yet,
but If I'm home maybe you could come back."

I saw her smile.

"I don't know what I'm doing either. Maybe if my parents don't have plans
for us, or if I'm not doing anything with Dave...maybe I could come back
even if you're not here? Your mom said I could, and you know everybody
would look out for me."

"But what if something happened like a few minutes ago? The friends and my
parents would already be asleep or in their rooms having sex or something.
No one would be up to help you."

"I would just come back in here and lock the door."

"About that...I know we made temporary peace tonight, but I don't trust my
mother fully. She likes you and would probably be totally cool with you
hanging out. She'd keep an eye on you as well. But if her or my dad let you
drink a little, you might not fully stay aware of everything. She might try
to talk you into letting her in my room with you. She still wants to come
in here and go through my stuff. I just don't want her in here. But if you
were tipsy, she might talk you into letting her. You know how we've been
feeling tonight. It feels good and it's been fun and easy to not care and
not pay attention to things like we should. But she's a master manipulator.
She even does it to her close friends. She could do it to you, too."

"S-so you don't trust me?" she asked with a serious pout.

I palmed her cheek. "I do trust you. A lot. Enough to have you here with
me. So please don't think I don't. But I don't trust her. She's smart and
persuasive and mentally strong. Stronger than me. And she rarely fails when
she wants something."

"Oh."

"It's not you, Love. It's her. I'm sure she genuinely likes you. That's why
she would try to manipulate you. It's just the way she is."

"Oh...okay." She sounded down and disappointed.

"How about this: You come over a few times when I'm here to be with you. In
the future you could come by yourself if it was still okay with my parents.
That would also give our regular guests more time to see us together and
realize that you're with me and not to be messed with."

"Okay...I can wait. But I really want to come back. It's nice here. I like
it."

"Even though my house is dumpy and hot? It's...embarrassing. You see I keep
my room clean. The rest of the house isn't like this. Yours is so much
nicer."

"I don't care. I really didn't notice after a few minutes here. I was
having such a good time."

"Well, I'm gonna warn you. We have a bug problem. A big one. It's...
roaches.  A lot of them. They come out after people go to bed or pass out
and the house gets quiet. So don't be shocked if you see like a hundred of
them in the kitchen when we get up. The counter and floor will be sticky
and gross from spilled drinks. Dirty glasses will be all over. We'll have
to wash anything before we use it. It gets nasty when there's more people.
Last night there wasn't a lot so maybe it won't be so bad. But it might
be. I just don't want you to be surprised and grossed out."

"Ewww. I hate bugs But I'll be brave and clean things with you. Can you
kill them for me? I don't want to get that close to them." She made an
unpleasant face.

"Of course, my dear. I'll protect you from those evil bugs!" We laughed as
I pulled her closer.




She nuzzled her chin into my hair on my shoulder. Her arm was across my
chest, slowly rubbing a nipple. Soon her fingers moved slower, then her
hand rested motionless. Our eyes closed and we fell asleep.
