Meredith is a friend of mine. Best friend, sometimes. That cow Meredith on other occasions. We'd been like this for years and even though we are both nineteen, pushing twenty, you'd think we'd have grown out of our childish spats. I suppose we have, really. Our spats are now more adult in tone.
Right now I was irritated with her. It hadn't reached the stage of that cow, Meredith, but it had certainly reached the point where she was currently my ex-best friend. Not that she seemed to notice.
I was home alone on a fine spring day when Meredith rocked up, even though I wasn't sure that I was currently speaking to her. The day was hot and Meredith was dressed accordingly, wearing a light sundress. Not that I could comment. I was doing the same. The difference was that hers was somewhat shorter than mine with a bit more cleavage. Actually, a lot more cleavage, the tart. Our busts were similar in size but I'd never show that amount of cleavage, not unless I was in a formal nightclub type of gown.
I was relaxing on the back veranda when Meredith arrived. Typical of her, when she knocked and no-one answered she'd just barged in and came through the house looking for me.
"What's up, Heather?" she said cheerfully.
"Nothing," I said.
"So what are you doing this afternoon?"
"Nothing."
"Want to go down to the mall with me? We can go window shopping even if we're not buying."
"No."
"Hum. Is this one of those days where you're not talking to me for some reason?"
"I'm talking."
"Yes, but you're not saying anything."
"Oh. I'm so sorry. What would you like me to say?"
"Ah, how about the reason you seem to be mad at me?"
"I'm not mad at you. Why would I be mad at you? You're a mature adult. You're entitled to go your own way and see anyone you like."
"Geez. You heard I had a date with Brian, right?"
"That's none of my business. You can sleep with whoever you want to. Even my ex-boyfriend. I don't care."
"Heather, love, I didn't have a date with him. I was having lunch and he came into the café and joined me. What was I supposed to do? Tell him to piss off?"
"Yes!"
"Well, I didn't. And I haven't slept with him. Yet."
"What do you mean, yet?"
"Well, he is quite attractive, now isn't he?"
"And he knows it and feels it's his god given duty to spread himself around. If you're going to sleep with him, take a number so that you're available when he calls it."
"I haven't said I'm going to sleep with him. Really, Heather, when have I ever picked up one of your exes?"
"Tony," I snapped.
"For god's sake, we were eleven. All we knew how to do was hold hands."
"Well you got past that pretty quickly."
"I don't sleep with everyone I date. Hardly any of them, for that matter. I'm not a slut, you know."
"A matter of opinion," I muttered, but Meredith heard me anyway.
"Geez, you're being deliberately unreasonable and you know it. So I had lunch with Brian. So what? What am I supposed to do? Cry tears of remorse for being a bad girl and tell you to spank me?"
"That's the first good idea you've had in your life."
Meredith damn near laughed her head off.
"Oh, I can just see it. There's me bending over, and you trying to spank my bottom. You wouldn't know how to."
"I'm willing to learn," I said through gritted teeth.
"Aw. You're really upset over this, aren't you?"
"No."
"Well, I didn't do anything but have lunch with him but if it will make you feel better, spank away. See if you can make me squeal."
To my surprise Meredith turned, hitched up her dress to reveal thong panties, and leant over the veranda railing, turning her head to give me a mocking look.
"I'll do it, you know," I threatened, and she laughed.
"Maybe, but will I notice you doing it?"
Incensed, I stepped up and delivered a hard slap to her bottom. Easy to say and easy to do as there was a lot of bottom showing. And I chickened out, pulling the spank at the last moment, not wanting to hurt her.
I thought Meredith was going to have hysterics. I couldn't help starting to giggle myself.
"Oh, come on, Heather. Even you can do better than that. Spank me as if you mean it. I'm a slut and a boyfriend stealer and I deserve it. Teach me a lesson."
She was giggling so much her bottom was shaking, which did nothing to help me control my giggling. I hauled off and delivered another spank, this time actually popping her quite a good one, or so I thought. From Heather's reaction it was all noise and no pain and it hadn't even put a touch of pink to the whiteness of her bottom.
Swearing softly I managed to deliver a few spanks that must have actually stung somewhat, as I could finally see a flush to Meredith's bottom. Also my hand was stinging slightly. Meredith, damn her, was commenting on the spanking as it proceeded, in between crocodile tears and abject apologies. It's hard to believe an apology delivered by someone laughing like a loon.
Ever get the feeling that someone is watching you. I suddenly had that feeling and turned to look. Talk about a shocker. It was Terry, the man from next door, watching me spank Meredith, casually leaning on Dad's lawnmower. He must have borrowed it and was now returning it and had caught us. I started to speak but he put a finger to his lips and strolled across the veranda to me.
Now Terry is quite a big man but he moved awfully silently and smoothly. One moment he was leaning on the lawnmower, the next he was standing next to me. Meredith was making a rude comment about my spanking ability when Terry reached past me and pulled down her panties, exposing everything.
Meredith gave a squeal and at the same time Terry indicated that I should resume the spanking, so I did, although now I was the one laughing.
"Bitch," squealed Meredith. "That was uncalled for."
She didn't try to pull them up though, apparently quite happy to have me deliver a bare-assed paddling. Not that I had long to do it.
I didn't have the heart to really deliver a good spank, stinging little slaps the best I could manage, and it was no real wonder that Meredith was able to laugh them off. Terry watched for a few moments, looking amused, and then he stepped silently forward again.
He was now standing next to Meredith but because she didn't have her head turned she still didn't know he was there. She was about to have one hell of a shock.
"You do it like this, Heather," he said, placing one hand firmly on Meredith's back to hold her in place while his other hand came round in a big spank. He had very large hands I noticed. His spanking hand seemed to cover most of Meredith's bottom, with his fingers long enough to curl down and around, slapping against her pussy. I got wet just imagining him doing that to me.
Meredith's reaction was a bit extreme. She gave a galvanised jerk as though she'd touched a live wire and shrieked with both shock and pain.
Then it was, "What? What? What?" as she frantically twisted about to see what was going on.
"Hi, Meredith," Terry said. "Just showing Heather how to spank you properly."
He followed this up with another firm swat and a scream from Meredith, probably because those long fingers were reaching around to certain tender areas.
"You stop that. Go away. Oh my god, I've got no panties on. Don't you look at me."
