The recording I had captured with my secret phone had raised more questions and had also given me a video of Uncle John that I would use if he ever tried it on with me again. I had taken a single screen shot of him naked in mum and dad's bedroom, but with mum not visible. If necessary, I could show it to him without giving the whole thing to him. He would know.
I hadn't put the phone back in place, I would keep it on my shelf and only use it if required. I certainly did not want to get more pictures or video of my parents having sex. I was not sure that was something I could ever unsee. The saving grace was that they really seemed to still be into each other, and that was good, the last thing I wanted was my parents to split up.
Jase's parents were out of town again, so I went over there after college. I texted mum to say I wouldn't be home until teatime. If she wanted to use that time with Uncle John, well that was up to her. I had decided that Uncle John must be blackmailing her into sex, but I could not think what. If I manage to talk to Gran alone, I might see if she knows why they are so 'close', but I can't do that with mum or dad around.
Jase had done a lunch of ham and salad. Simple, but would keep me going until tea and we sat and cuddled on the settee for a while. "How are your folks?" he asked.
That was unexpected. "They are fine, why do you ask?"
"Oh no reason."
"Oh, okay then. Mine are absolutely fine and enjoying each others company when I am not around, if you know what I mean. How about yours?"
"Not sure." Oh, I wonder if that is why he was asking about mine.
"Why not sure?"
"Well they seem just a little jumpy and snappy with each other. It is just a little worrying."
"Yes, I guess it must be. Are they still having sex do you know?"
"No idea. I don't hear anything."
"There is one way. Well, you could always go and look at their bed in the mornings, you know, see if there are any signs on the sheets."
"Eurgh"
"Short of putting a recording device in their bedroom, I don't know how else you would know if you can't hear them doing it."
"I have no idea how to do that, you know bug their room."
"Well, if you wanted to do that, I am sure we could put our heads together and work out a way to do it. Luckily my mum and dad are quite noisy when they are doing it, so I have no doubts." Obviously I knew one way to do it.
"I do have an idea. Dad has put some cameras around the house connected to the alarm, so they are supposed to record when the alarm is on. I wonder if I could hack into it and use those cameras? I would have to look around the house and see where they are though."
"What? You have cameras? But we have, you know, done stuff. Your dad could have recorded us? That is creepy. I don't want your dad watching us, you know, doing stuff." I mean we have done all kinds of stuff in the kitchen, in the lounge, in Jase's bedroom. Luckily we have never used his parent's big bed, but we did talk about and decided not, just in case we left unwanted traces. The thought of Jase's dad watching us as we did stuff was horrible, and it made me think about what I had done to my parents. Wasn't what I did just as bad? I certainly wasn't going to tell anyone; it was only there as a defence in case Uncle John started anything.
"No, don't worry, they only are active when the alarm system is on, and I always make sure the alarm is off when we are home. if the alarm goes off, dad can use his phone and see if there are intruders."
"So, in theory, your dad could look at the cameras at any time and watch you, watch us?"
"No, I don't think so, I think the alarm has to be on. I don't know, I will have to get his password and log into the system and see."
"That is your priority Jase. Is there a camera in your room?"
"Not that I can see, I don't think so."
"I am not taking my clothes off in your house until you have found out where all the cameras are. If you want to fool around, then it is my house or the woods. Unless you can think of anywhere else safe."
"No. I 'll go and get my rucksack and pop a blanket in and we can walk up to the woods if you like, it's dry enough and the blanket should stop anything prickly scratching."
"Oh, you will, will you? So you want to fool around?"
"With you, yes, and until I can be sure where the cameras are I don't want to risk sharing my girlfriend with my dad."
"And if I don't?"
"Oh." His face dropped.
"Don't be silly, of course I do, I was just messing. Make sure we have some tissues in your bag, and perhaps a can or two of pop."
