Readers, in the first installment of this story, Theron went to pick up Vicky, his date who wasn't home and took her little sister Gem out instead. This chapter begins the day after that date. Thank you for reading my work and I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

I was working on my hydrology practice exam when my phone buzzed. Vicky.
"Hey. Sorry, I forgot about last night. Are you mad?"
"It's all right. No, I'm not mad."
In the background I could hear store sounds and announcements and her breathing. "You took Gem out, didn't you?"
"Yeah, just for a quick bite. We were both hungry. We just ate and came back."
Silence. Finally, "We went to the reservoir, ended up going swimming and then, well.."
My phone beeped. Gem.
"Lemme go, it's the guy coming to fix my computer."
We rang off. (There was no guy fixing my computer). And I didn't want to hear her story if I wasn't in it. "Hello."
"My sister is so strange. Arrgh!"
"Arrgh? Like in pirate talk?"
I heard Gem turn on a faucet. "Yeah. She called me, while she was standing in Housewares looking at a two quart boiler. She was wanting to know all about my night." She paused and I could hear the dishwasher start. "So, were you able to go to sleep when you got home?"
I chuckled, "Like a baby. The evening came to an exciting conclusion I'd say."
"Me too. I never even heard Sis come in and then I slept through breakfast. So Vicky's suspicious, so it seems."
"I thought we just had good clean fun."
"Uh-huh. Talk to my nightshirt!"
"Oh. Well, there was that."
"And my panties, and my shorts, and.." She paused, then talking lower, confidentially, "I was putting my things in the wash and started remembering things, exciting things, you know?"
"Uh-huh. What are you wearing now?"
"Princess Jasmine pajama top."
"No you're not."
My phone dinged. Text. Gem, lots of hair, pajamas with a smiling princess on the front.
"What are you, ten?"
She giggled. "I got 'em as a joke and a back up nightie. Never know what you'll find in the Junior Miss department. But, did I seem like I was ten last night?"
"Can we facetime?"
"Sure. I'm going to sit for a minute. Mama and Vic still have to go to the fabric store."
Poof. There she was. Sitting in the recliner. The parakeet chirped and the ceiling fan spun lazily above her. She smiled and mouthed 'hi!' She was wearing glasses.
"Hey, I like the specs, it makes you look all smart and..."
"Shit!! I forgot. Wait."The glasses disappeared and she racked back in the chair. "That's better." Gem propped her phone on the side table. "Can you see me good? (Reaching for a plastic bottle) I need to take off this old nail polish. It got chipped last night somehow."
I could see her from head to waist and all that pretty hair that only young girls can grow and wear. "Yep, you're fine."
"So are you, boy. Those old gym shorts are looking spiffy. I need to ask, if it ever comes up again, am I supposed to swallow?" She started dabbing with a cotton ball.
She said it like, would I check the oven or did I mind feeding the dog. Now glib ain't me but this grounder was heading for the outfield. Damage control. "Wha-what do you mean, like when I.."
Laughing, pearlies flashing the phone, little nose wrinkling, "Think about when you get a drink from the faucet. I mean, you get some of the water and the rest goes on down the drain, right?" She switched hands, grabbing the bottle. "That's what it was like last night. And that's what I was thinking about when I woke up."
I nodded, "You were driving me crazy, what you were doing."
"Doing? Ha! I was learning." She looked into the screen, "I didn't know THAT would happen. It was so much!" She made kind of a Mona Lisa smile, "When you came, it made me feel powerful. It was like, Woo-hoo! He likes this, there's the proof. It makes me tingly to talk about it." She studiously gazed at her pinky nail coming clean, a smudge on the cotton.
"Well, to answer your question, it will come up again, especially if you mess with it-"
"Oh goody!"
"But unless you like oysters, you can aim it away-"
"Oh, I like oysters. I just don't know if I can handle a whole dozen all at once.."
"We'll work on it if you want."
"Can we work on it some now?" Gem capped the bottle, putting it away.
"We're not in the same room, so I..."
"So, it's safer this way, right?"
I considered, "What, did I scare you or something?"
She smiled, regarding her now very pink fingernails. "No, huh-uh, I scared me. I was THIS close to doing the deed, you know?"
"You said I'd never fit inside you, remember?"
"Well I wanted to try and see, at least just then. YOU made the call to be a gentleman. That's why I wanted to, you know, experiment out on the porch. You didn't conspire with my hormones."
"Never crossed my mind..um, until later. I just thought maybe you might be saving yourself-"
"Oh, well yeah, there is that!" She sipped her tea, "But they say guys think with the little head. Girls can do that too, at least I can. 'Course the head's way smaller!" She giggled, "But the selection out here isn't the best, unless you like camo and can talk about ten point bucks. Then there's you."
I shrugged, "You just like good barbecue, and you'll do whatever it takes-"
Laughing, "Stop it. I was in it for the pizza, remember?"
We laughed together, letting it fade to silence.
"You made me come last night. No one's ever done that to me. I mean you KINDA have, in a way."
I was puzzled, "Hmm. How's that?"
She spoke evenly to her cotton ball bag. "Oh," she waved a hand, drying it, "You'll think I'm a pervert, Theron. I've watched you and Sis on the porch when y'all thought it was safe." She grinned, "I'd slip into the living room here and lean up against the back of the couch on my knees and push the curtain back enough to see out the window."
I shook my head slowly. "Tell me what you saw, Miss Pervert."
She yawned and stretched, arms up, nips pointed behind Princess Jasmine's smiling eyes. She took another sip of her tea. "Which time?"
(!!!)
Gem glanced over at her phone. "Don't look so concerned. It was all clean fun. But when you kissed her, I pretended it was me being kissed. You know, the time you had pushed her jeans down to her ankles and she had you unzipped, I about fainted!"
I knew now what she'd witnessed, at least one time.

Tina Barrett's parents had a nice house out on the lake. That's where the party was and that's where we were leaving from. I had work the next day, (every other Saturday) so I was the good boy, the one with a ginger ale in my hand as the girls got rowdy with daddy's liquor inside and smokum outside on the veranda.
Vicky hit the blunt again as we left the driveway, kicking off her shoes to put her feet on the dash. We chatted and gossiped as the cannabis took effect. Her blonde hair blew in the breeze from the truck's open window and we cruised down the highway, the centerline markers spinning by, reflecting in my headlights.
She put her hand on my shoulder, gently kneading, softly rubbing. Her face reflected in the glow of the speedometer as she fell silent. I caught her looking over at me, her eyes luminous, a strand of hair in the corner of her mouth. She had a certain look, beyond explanation.
But I knew that look quite well by now.
Her hand was on my thigh by the time I turned into the park. Rows of doublewides with darkened windows and drawn shades receded past us, only to arrive at Vicky's darkened trailer. I parked in the drive, behind her car and cut the ignition.
She slipped on her shoes, "Can you stay for a bit?" She slid out my side, stepping on my toes as I held the door.
"Oop! Sorry!" Vicky leaned into me, still standing on my toes, soft full boobs against my chest. Her hand spidered down my jeans, finding her interest. She pecked my cheek, licked my ear, slowly, "We'll need to be quiet. You good with that?"
Her fingers wrapped around my hardening maleness, thrilling me.
"It's good. But what if somebody.." I looked around.
"You've got to look over me," (Big lazy smile) "I got pretty high, can you tell?"
She giggled as she unzipped me. Out on the highway a rig blew by as she led me, never letting go, up the steps to the screened porch. The darkness hid her devilry as she bade me to not let the screen door slam. As I turned back, she bent from the waist, enveloping my shaft with heat and soft wet lips, her tongue tickling my tip. It was five seconds of pure electricity followed by cool air on my guy, Vicky opening the door into the kitchen.
