I am never good with categories, or for that matter specific tags, it all just seems to wander off in different directions. Everything contained within these pages are works of complete fiction. The characters in this story are themselves entirely fictional. They do not exist, never have, and never will and any resemblance to any person, living or dead, whether by name or by description, is purely coincidental and unintentional.
The author does not condone behaviour like those exhibited within these pages other than in a world of pure fiction. When the term girl is used, it is a derogatory label, and everyone in this work of fiction is over eighteen.
Incidentally- there is no actual sex in this chapter.
However, all that said, this is just a story dragged up from the wild and violent tides of overthinking, which have taken a heavy toll; these thoughts dim the light and usher in the black dog that asks, 'What if?'

Double Trouble
He walked through the pale sunshine of a rather pleasant evening in early April; the clocks had just sprung forward, and with it came the lighter evenings.
It was warm for the time of the year, but the helpful weather people had warned of the prospect of a rapid drop in temperature under a cloudless still night.
He sensed nature's urgency all around him as spring was halfway done. He is well over six feet tall, so when he strode determinedly, he covered the ground quickly. He manifests no outward discontent at being summoned; time has taught him to be philosophical about the rigours of his work. He is pushing half a century and is considered lean and well-preserved, even if his clothes are a bit grey and frayed around the edges.
He took the wooden stairs two at a time, his right hand on the bannister to pull as his left leg did the heavy lifting.
He entered his study, and there they were, two heartbreakingly beautiful, slender young women standing beside each other; behind them, the high Georgian window overlooking a riot of fresh green leaves.
They are both looking furtively at the floor, avoiding eye contact.
One a honey blonde; the other slightly darker, their hair was messily tied up in buns on top of their heads.
They wore identical college uniforms, with white, small capped sleeves and a low, off-the-shoulder open-neck blouse. They were soaking wet, and the thin material of their blouses sheer and tight, clinging to their prominent chests. A couple of buttons are also missing, and they look dishevelled.
Their grey and black plaid skirt stuck to their thighs and their hands were thrust deep into the pockets of their very short skirts.
They wear white bobby socks and black Mary Janes on their long legs.
Their expressions are unreadable.
"Oh, for goodness sake!" He exclaimed, the moment he took in the scene, he immediately turned around and went to the staff bathroom. He picked up two towels and proceeded back to his study.
He held out the two towels, "Dry yourselves off, you two; why Miss Briggs didn't suggest you do that before sending you to my study is rather worrying; you could catch your death."
The two young women took a towel each and started to pat themselves down.
He always made room for their quiet introspection; he would look, he would listen, examining the details, what was said, and more importantly, what was unsaid.
He knew the issues well, which seemed inevitable and predictable, so he waited.
They answered before any question was asked, preemptive, the pair batting backwards and forward in a quiet, sporadic delivery, like twin bells ringing off-key; if they were playing a tune, it was free jazz, one finishing where the other left off.
Discordant, broken, no real reasons, but accusations of guilt and fault.
"It's her fault; I was only walking."
"Yeah, sure you were; I was only sitting."
"But you tripped me."
"You pushed me."
"Didn't."
"Did."
He let it go on, knowing it would peter out; it could never be resolved. Unspoken, an odd, terse truce somehow declared, with tears and silence. The tears the pair had both sworn would never happen again now fell anew down their cheeks, making them blush red with their passage.
He watched for the inevitable shift; one hand tentatively reached for the other, the other brushing her fingers over the extended peace offering until they were clasping hands tightly.
Woe betide anyone who tried to come between these two.
"Incidentally, why are you two not wearing a bra, or at the very least a vest?" He asked.
"Laundry." They both replied in unison.
He pushed down his answer, knowing he wouldn't win this one.
