[I am new at this, so yeah - there is that. Please understand that I am VERY new at this so if I don't give you a polished work, don't be surprised. Also, this is part two. You probably have to read the first story to get what is going on. :-) I hope you like!]
FUN PLANS...
One thing my bff Gracie always amazed me at was how she could be talking about one thing with words that seemed so simple and direct, but actually she could be secretly talking about something very different. She was smart. She was a good talker. She was sexy. She was my secret lover.
Yeah - about that secret. Her mom and dad were very religious. Church every Sunday. If they had any idea what Gracie and I did in private I would never get to see her again I am sure. Her parents were very kind to me. They liked me. But that was because they had no idea how much I was into their daughter. They even included me on their summer vacation this year when they rented a houseboat and we floated along the Colorado River and a lake for a week.
That is kind of a side story, but maybe I should talk about it now because it kind of has a way of affecting what Gracie and I did after that first day of school.
When I was packing for the trip, my mom saw the swimsuits I was folding up and stuffing in my bag. "Uh, I don't think so young lady. You are not going to be wearing that bikini around Gracie's dad."
"Oh mom, are you -- really?!" I just huffed and crossed my arms. I could not believe she was actually monitoring what I was packing. Besides, Mr. Parker was not a hypocrite - like my mom. He was noble. He was genuine. He was definitely NOT a perv.
I chose to argue with mom on her level though. "Mom, he is not even gonna be out in the water with us or off doing stuff with us. He and Mrs. P are gonna be on the houseboat the whole time."
"Well, I don't care, girl. There will be plenty of other eyes out there and you do not need to be advertising what is not for sale." With that, she actually reached into my pile of clothes and snatched my bikinis and walked out of my bedroom like the queen bitch she was.
I shot Gracie a text... --My mom - arghh--
She quickly replied... --what did she do now?!--
I proceeded to explain the whole bikini thing. At first Gracie wanted to have me wait until later that night and sneak into my parents bedroom and find what belonged to me and take it back. But no way mom would not notice that. That's when Gracie had her great idea. She assured me not to worry. Just come over the next morning before 9am so we could talk things over with her dad.
--Your dad?!?-- I questioned.
--lol relax - we got this. Trust me?--
I smiled and shook my head as I texted back... --yeppers--
Some of the most intense moments of my life had soon followed moments when Gracie had asked me that simple question, "trust me?". I could feel another moment swelling up on the horizon.
Well, Mr. P usually heads to his office around 9am. So I was up and on my way in plenty of time. It only took me 10 minutes to walk to their house from our house. And by slipping out the door that early, I figured I would not have to even deal with any questioning from my mom. I was wearing shorts and a tank top that she probably would have given me a lecture about.
I texted Gracie to let her know I was around the corner and she texted back... --the door is open - come on in--. I loved how welcome I was at the Parker's home. Sometimes I felt a little guilty about how Gracie and I would take advantage of that freedom. But it really was the best and safest place to hook up without privacy worries. Her dad ran their investment company. Her mom worked in the office in the afternoons usually. So it was pretty easy to get alone time with Gracie at her house. All the boys liked Gracie. And I had dated a guy last year that the Parkers knew. So her parents would never suspect that Gracie and I were lovers. So yeah, I felt a little guilty about it.
Mr. Parker was sitting on the patio by their pool chatting with Mrs. P when I got there. Gracie smiled and gave me a quick, playful kiss and said, "Follow me and just play along. I got this girl. Trust me?" God I loved that sly smile of hers, even when she was about to get me deep into some type of adventure or even trouble!
As we stepped outside to the patio, Gracie chirped, "Ok - we are gonna return some books to the school library and then go do some shopping."
I thought to myself, "we are?" But on the outside I just smiled and nodded in agreement. When Mrs. P offered me a bagel, Gracie said, "Really mom? We are going shopping. No extra pounds allowed!"
They both giggled. Gracie then quipped with that amazing skill of hers - saying a simple innocent thing while having deeper more sneaky meaning. "Yeah, Jessi's mom said that she had nothing good to wear on our trip. So we need to find something."
Of course, what I did know is that whenever Gracie dangled in front of her dad the combo of genuine need and shopping, he was so easy to get money out of! He looked up and with such a sweet tone echoed, "Nothing good to wear on our trip?"
