Chapter 2
Introduction to the real Jill's world
*
I did as Kelly had suggested. Not a bad idea at all. A smile and a 'hi Dad' and up the stairs to a nice hot bath in my very own jacuzzi tub. She was right, it felt awesome.
It was nice to relax. It was still early really. It was only around 10:00. A nice hour here and a quick check of my phone and I could sleep very soundly. Maybe even with a smile on my face. I fought the urge, and it was an overpowering one, to just go to sleep in the tub and went downstairs in a towel to kiss my dad goodnight.
And I gave Kelly a big hug and a thank you for taking me shopping and went up to bed.
My phone was charged to full. I turned it on and cringed at what I saw. It was as bad as Julie had told me. If I thought Saturday was bad, apparently Sunday Farin really went off on me, then apologized, then begged, then cursed me. I understood the emotional roller coaster, I'd been on one for too long and was happy to ... maybe, be getting off it for a while.
I guess tomorrow would tell.
Intermingled in the one hundred and fifty-seven messages from Farin, were a few others.
JILL: 11:00: IF YOUR PHONE IS STILL ON, TEXT ME RIGHT AWAY
JULIE: 9:17: HEY CARRIE, I'M GOING TO BED, GOODNIGHT SEE YOU TOMORROW
And one from Sue referring to how hot my daddy's girlfriend is, but ugh. I should have known it would get back to them. I decided to go ahead and reply.
To Julie just
GOODNIGHT JULES CALL ME IN THE AM IF YOU WANT A RIDE
And to Jill,
I JUST TURNED MY PHONE ON MISTRESS
And then, because it's who I am,
HOW MAY I BE OF SERVICE?
And I knew I was being a smart ass. It wasn't mean spirited in any way. But, I knew she would know I was being a smart ass.
JILL: SHOULDN'T YOU BE IN BED? I WILL TALK TO YOU TOMORROW
JILL: LET ME KNOW IF FARIN GIVES YOU TOO MUCH TROUBLE IN SCHOOL
CARRIE: GOODNIGHT MISTRESS I WILL MISTRESS
And sleep came very fast and easy. And it was a sound sleep.
The next morning, I didn't bother to shower. I had taken a long enough bath last night to be clean, so I just had to fuss with my hair for a while and decide what to wear. I really needed to unpack some more boxes. Maybe I would have some time tonight.
So, I grabbed ... yep, a pair of SHORTS and ... oh no, didn't put them on until I reached in my bag that Kelly had left by the bed, and put on a pair of white bikini panties. And oh my god!
My vagina was singing praises to me. It said, thank you Carrie for covering me up. But it said it in song.
(Just in case you are too literal, my vagina did not actually sing)
And then, before I pulled on my Inigo Montoyo T shirt "You keep using that word.... I do not think it means what you think it means" I put on a bra. And my tits were all pumped up and thrilled about it. I knew it was coming off at school, but for the moment... yeah, my shit was wrapped up in underwear!
And I was in underwear heaven!
It was even just simple, plain, sensible underwear. Nothing even sexy about it. But ... well, go without for a week and see how much you miss it. I went two weeks.
And with a pair of socks and my Converse tenners, I was bouncing downstairs, without a care in the world.
Dad was already gone to beat traffic. Kelly was sipping coffee and wearing pjs and a robe. I joined her with a glass of OJ and a slice of unbuttered toast. Yeah, I skipped the butter even though I wasn't on the squad and wouldn't have to hear Rebecca bitching about my flabby belly anymore. Which, believe me, wasn't like I was sporting a muffin top, I just didn't work out like they did, so I wasn't all toned.
She asked how I slept. We didn't mention my accident at the mall. And I gave her a kiss on the cheek on my way out the door, with my bookbag over my shoulder.
And then, as the front door closed behind me, I shook my head. I kissed her. Weird. Never would have seen that coming. I'd try to make sure it didn't happen again.
I checked my phone. Farin, Farin, Farin, Farin, Farin...
Ahh Julie!
JULIE: CHAD'S PICKING ME UP SEE YOU THERE
CARRIE: K
Chad.
And there it was.
The ... what do older people say? The green monster?
I blew it off, but the pang of jealousy was there. That was my Julie to take to school, not his. But, she wasn't.
Radio... on.... Loud...
And I was singing along with every song I knew and absolutely LOVING my car. I felt like a new person. Maybe it was the orgasm. Maybe it was that DARLA wasn't written in the crack of my ass. Maybe it was that I hadn't masturbated shy of an orgasm five times, or given myself an enema, or even checked my pubic hair in days. Yes, more than one day had passed since I'd done all that!
But, I was in an awesome mood. I pulled into school, kind of early because traffic hadn't been terribly hateful and I had left in time to pick up Julie. And I cranked up the volume as high as it would go and damn if my old posse didn't show up!
Sarah, Gina, Cat and Jen all came over to see me. I felt instantly guilty because I had been blowing them off so much with my other commitments. And I apologized and hugged them all and swore that now that I got kicked off the cheerleading team, things would be better.
