This chapter is the first of 2 parts transitioning Caitlyn from her BTS event to the time when she and John meet - together with two other people of interest. Not much sex here, it's more about how Caitie is processing things and the complications in her life.

After BTS, waiting for John - Part 1
A full week had passed since that first event for BTS. And that week had been, pardon my French, one damned thing after another. I don't mean that they were all bad. Some of them were very, very nice. But together they kept me confused and on edge. I was a really quite anxious. Like an anxious-Annie. Who analyzed. A lot. But I still couldn't figure out what it all meant. So I was really looking forward to seeing John later that afternoon.
I mean it wasn't John's fault that the first appointment - the one for 3 days after BTS - had to be cancelled or postponed or whatever. He had to go help that girl in Colorado.
Let me back up and explain things.
When I got home the afternoon after the little L-E-Z event at BTS (the one I described earlier, the one to get us all better tips from the men) I was so exhausted from all the practice and hard work and submission and excitement and fun and obedience and the delicious feelings running through me that I slept virtually non-stop for 36 hours, getting out of bed only to pee a few times and once to have some toast and tea that Mom had forced into me.
Finally on my 3rd morning home I made it down for breakfast with Dad and Mom.
"Feeling better honey?" That was Daddy. He was sitting at the breakfast table and put down his Wall Street Journal when I came in. He took my hand, looked me over and then put the back of his hand over my forehead as I bent in to kiss him.
"Oh. I think so. Guess I was just over-tired or something."
"I'll say! Poor kid! You were exhausted." Looking at me with love but all worried too. He is so nice.
Then Mom chimed in, sounding way too cheery. "Maybe you're just getting your per..."
"Mother!!" Cause right in front of Daddy! And it wasn't even true cause it was still about a week away. I had really been lucky with the timing of that BTS event.
She and Daddy exchanged a little smile and I think he winked at her. Parents!
He went on. "Well anyway, I don't think you have a temp. That's good."
I sat and looked at the feast Mom had prepared. She's actually pretty good in the kitchen. I mean for someone who is so easily confused everything always comes out pretty nice at all of our meals. There were blueberry pancakes and bacon and juice and toast and marmalade for the croissants and some nice hot tea. And now she was scrambling up eggs as Dad and I sat.
I realized I was starving. I wanted it all.
Daddy reached over for my hand. "But with all the excitement, all these new amazing things happening to you, it's no wonder you're run down." I saw Mom give him a nervous look back over her shoulder, like "What's he...?" And I was feeling that way too. What did he mean by "new amazing things"?
"I just cannot believe all the things you girls get into nowadays." He sipped his coffee which, Mom and I agree, is bad for a girl's skin, at least in the long run.
I paused with my mouth full of pancake. Pretty unfeminine I guess but it was only Mom and Dad so it didn't matter. I was a more worried about what he was getting at.
"Goodness! Getting into the U for this fall and then getting a new job on top of it. Even if it is just a frat house." And inside I was like "it's not! It's the..." But he went on "I'm really proud of you. I'm just worried it's too much."
I swallowed. It was OK. And I'm like, inside again I mean, remembering how I told John "I swallowed" and thinking "Swallow = OK" Click, cause I knew the GT really had done so much good! Which was probably inappropriate in this context but I still felt it. Cause girl's brains can think all of these things at the very same time.
I shook out the thoughts and started to reassure Daddy. "No it's just..." But all men interrupt, especially fathers sometimes, even when they're trying so hard to be nice.
"You know you don't need to keep the job. Mom tells me they've got you vacuuming and dusting and cleaning dishes non-stop. Even heavy cleaning, right? Like windows I bet?" Which made me think of me and Jevon in front of that big window in BTS house and that's a nice memory. "And I can only guess what a mess these frat guys make. It's too hard on you."
Again I had to refocus. Stop thinking about Jevon and the window! "Oh. No. It's fine. Really."
I was hoping we could change the subject away from my job.
"But what about you just enjoy your summer before you start up studies in the fall?"
"Oh I will enjoy it Daddy. I'll still have plenty of time for my friends. Cindy and Beth and you know all the girls. Really."
See I knew not to mention Julian, just the girls. It's the right way to go with Daddy. Not like he hates Julian - who is only the number one love in my entire life and I would and have been (pat on back for me!) doing everything and anything to make him happy - I mean not exactly like he hate-hates him but I think it bothers him that I might, you know, have some physical relations from time to time with Julian. And he thinks I'm still just this little girl even now I'm 18. For goodness sake!
"Time for the girls? I should hope so. You should see them more often, maybe have Cin over." Did he usually call her "Cin" like that? I couldn't remember. "Or even all the girls. Like a pool party or something?"
"Yes. I think I will..."
