Simone stopped by the local coffee shop for an early morning cup. She couldn't really get into the day without one. She was surprised to find Debra sitting at one of the tables, munching on a croissant accompanied by an espresso.
Grabbing her own drink she sat at the table opposite Debra.
"I'm surprised to see you here this early," she said with a smile. "You usually try to sleep in until lunchtime on the weekends. What's with the early appearance and why do you seem slightly frazzled?"
"Probably because I'm feeling slightly frazzled," grumbled Debra. "I was up late last night but made up for it by getting up early this morning. I just wanted come coffee before I went home and caught some more sleep."
"What were you up to? Tell me all the salacious details. Auntie Simone can't wait to hear your story."
"It isn't much of a story. I had to babysit for the Fredericksons last night. They didn't know when they'd be home so I agreed to stay overnight if they didn't get home at a reasonable hour. I waited up until nearly midnight but they never showed so I went to bed."
"Uh huh. If I'm remembering the correct family she's quite nice and he's a meek little lamb and no danger to anyone's virtue."
"That's them," agreed Debra.
"So what are you leaving out? I know you're skipping something. How come the early rising?"
"The early rising? Oh, I just happened to wake up at about five. That's all."
"That's not all. If that was all you'd have just rolled over and gone back to sleep until the Fredericksons tipped the bed on the side to get you out of it. Why didn't you go back to sleep?"
"Well, I was going to, but I thought that seeing I was awake I'd just check on the kids quickly and I was also thirsty. I stuck my head in the kid's rooms and they were busy snoring their little heads off. Then I went to the kitchen and got a glass of water."
Debra shut up at that stage, trying to look innocent. Simone was having none of it.
"Give, bitch," she said. "Don't make me hurt you."
Debra sighed.
"Have you ever met Janet Frederickson's brother?" she asked.
"Ah, no. Can't say that I have. What's he like?"
Debra fanned her face.
"A hottie," she stated. "No two ways about it, he's a real honey. His name's Brandon."
"And what had Brandon got to do with your little story?"
"It turned out he stayed overnight, sleeping on the couch in the front room seeing that I had the spare room. He heard someone moving around and came out to check if the kids were up and running about. He found me in the kitchen in my pyjamas."
"Sounds interesting. What sort of pyjamas were you wearing? Shortie baby dolls, perchance?"
"While baby-sitting? As if. While the husbands might be trustworthy I see no reason to put temptation in their path. I had a pair of proper, full-length, pyjamas, I assure you."
"So why does that statement sound just a teeny-weeny bit sus?"
"Well," said Debra slowly, "they were my silk pyjamas. I like them. They're really comfortable."
"Those white silk pyjamas I've seen?"
Debra nodded.
"The ones that, while they look loose and free-flowing, cling to your body, moulding themselves against you like a lover's caress."
"They're not that bad," Debra protested, blushing.
"Ha! The way those things mould themselves to your body you could see if you've shaved or not if they chose to cling to the wrong place. I bet they highlighted your breasts very nicely."
"Well, yes, they do tend to cling slightly, but that's neither here nor there. They're very respectable pyjamas."
"In front of parents, possibly. How respectable did the brother find them?"
"Yes, well I was getting something out of the fridge when he came in. I was bent over and the first I knew of his presence was when he patted my bottom and told me I had a very nice tush."
"And what happened then?" asked Simone with a giggle.
"I promptly stood up and moved out of his reach of course."
"Uh-huh. So then you'd be facing him with that silk draped across your breasts. Did he comment on them or just go the grab?"
"Neither," said Debra with a slightly hunted look.
"Uh-huh," said Simone, and silently waited.
Debra glared at her.
Simone waited.
Debra sighed.
"All right," she snapped. "It turned out that my nipples were pressing against the silk. He just reached out and pressed his finger against first one and then the other and the rotten things promptly stood out and it was embarrassing the way they poked against the silk."
"And then?" came the giggled request.
"Then he took hold of my pyjama top at the sides and tugged it first one way and then the other," said Debra with a blush, demonstrating the back and forth movement with her hands. "I had this very fine silk brushing back and forth across my nipples. My nipples seemed to get even tighter and I nearly screamed. I did manage to slap his hands away though."
Amusement danced across Simone's face as she enjoyed Debra's embarrassment.
"I see. And then you rushed out of the kitchen and got dressed really, really, quickly?" she asked, tongue in cheek.
"Um, well, not exactly," admitted Debra, casting her mind back to what had happened.
- - -
"Do you mind?" she'd snapped at Brandon.
"Ah, no, not really," he said smiling, and a very nice smile it was, she noticed. "I quite enjoyed doing that, actually. So did your breasts from the way they've responded."
"If you'll excuse me," she said, not deigning to answer his comment, "I'm going back to my room."
"No."
"Excuse me?"
"I said no, meaning that I won't excuse you. I prefer you to stay here."
"I am not particularly interested in your preferences."
"That's rather obvious. If you were you wouldn't be wearing pyjamas."
Debra gave him an irritated look and went to brush past him, only to have him put out a hand to stop her.
"Before you go," he said quickly, "I was wondering if you could do me a little favour?"
"What?" she asked suspiciously.
