Her eyes filled with tears and she begged, "please, please, I'll do anything if you don't tell them".
Inwardly I smiled as that was exactly what I wanted to hear.

Aisling stood there with her arms crossed in front of her small bra-covered breasts while I considered the implications of what she had just said to me. I stared at her petite frame. The top of her pale pink bra was visible beneath her arms. My eyes ran down her thin waist to the top of the black knee length skirt she was wearing. She had narrow hips but wider than her waist. Her calves were bare below the skirt and were shaved and untanned.
I pretended to consider what she had just said and stated, "Aisling, I really must talk to your parents. They should know and I'd feel irresponsible if I didn't tell them".
Tears started to run down her cheeks as she begged me not to speak to them. She re-stated that she'd do anything if I could keep her actions to myself.
"What do you mean anything?" I asked her.
She paused for a few seconds and whispered, "Anything." As she said this she looked at me directly with her tear-filled eyes.
Now was the time to see if she really meant that!
