(This chapter is a little side tangent for Kerina. She gets into her usual crazy troubles, but it all happens when she is somewhere she would have a break from her troubles...)
(If previous chapters have offended you, then you probably shouldn't read this one either. Maybe even find a different web site altogether, or at lease a different category...)
Chapter 17 -- Staying over
Kerina's mobile beeped and flashed red as it received a message.
'Hi Kerry. Not meeting at mine tonight, cause my stupid older half-brother will be there. We will meet at Kylie's place instead. You can stay ova if you like. See you there. Luv Jane '
Unfortunately for Kerina the mobile sat unheeded under the locker where she had dropped it earlier in the day. This was unfortunate as if she had it, she would have undoubtedly avoided what was to happen.
*****
Kerina stumbled up to Jane's door and knocked. She was uncomfortable, wearing the little blue summer skirt and her tight Princess Aurora t-shirt. She was tired, feeling out of place in this nice neighbourhood dressed like this. And to top it all off, when she was 5 minutes from Jane's house, it had started pouring with rain.
28 year old Brendan opened the door of his dad's house. He had been off travelling for a few years, working his way around the country, but two weeks ago he had come home to work out what to do with his life. His annoying little sister Jane had grown up and was a real pain; seeming to resent his intrusion on what had become HER house. He found it hard to believe she was 19 now.
Brendan had a guy he used to know coming over to see him tonight to talk about a work opportunity for him and then later he had a few friends coming over. When he had spoken to Jane about this, she had flown off the handle, something about having plans for her friends to come over. She had made some phone calls and then left. Brendan wasn't sure if she had made new plans and didn't really care. He was sitting in the lounge watching TV when there was a knock on the door.
"Hi there...what the hell?" Brendan asked as he opened the front door, wearing his blue jeans and black singlet, "Did Johno or Ross hire you?" Brendan's eyes roamed over the figure of the sweet pretty blonde girl before him. Her innocent and wide eyed look was strangely contrasted by the short skirt which only stretched down less than half the way down her thigh, and the wet shirt which partially displayed her nipples.
"Umm, what? Hire me?" Kerina asked confused, unaware of her exposed nipples.
"Yeah, aren't you a stripper? Or a hooker?" he asked watching confusion then shame swim over the pretty young teens face.
"Oh, uh no. Nothing like that," Kerina said looking down in shame. Her eyes widened and her hands flew up to cover her breasts as she realised that her wet t-shirt was now see through.
"I, I, I am just here to see J-Jane," Kerina stammered humiliated.
"Oh. You are one of her friends huh. Well, I don't know where she is at the moment. But I guess you can come in," Brendan said stepping back allowing Kerina to walk in.
Kerina walked in bare foot, arms hugged tightly across her chest and starting to shiver from the wet clothes she was wearing.
Brendan was not in the mood to help one of his sisters snooty little friends, but there was something vulnerable and attractive about this little one, acting so nervous and innocent and yet dressed like a slut. He wasn't sure how old she was though. She looked a bit younger than Jane; he wasn't even sure she would be legal.
"Well, here is the lounge room," he said walking into the first room, "The kitchen is through that door and the bathroom and bedrooms are down that hall," he said pointing each out.
"Did you want to shower Kerina? You are looking pretty chilly."
"Well, I guess, but I didn't bring anything else with me."
"Well that's okay, hon," Brendan said cheerily, with a smile that didn't touch his eyes, "You go ahead and shower and I will find you something okay? I can even take your clothes out to wash."
"Oh, well I guess," Kerina said, feeling uncertain, but encouraged by this older mature guy who was acting as if nothing was wrong.
"Well, come on then," he said leading her down the hall to a door, identical to the others in the hall. Go on in and have a shower, there is a towel in there and I will find something for you to wear. Oh, did you want me to wash your clothes as well? They are looking wet and messed up."
"Uh well, sure okay," Kerina said not wanting to seem like a silly little girl.
Kerina walked in the bathroom, it was nice and big, with tiles everywhere, a shower, bath a big sink and a nice fluffy towel on the towel rack. Kerina pulled the shirt over her head and rested it on the sink. Nervously she unclipped the skirt and slid it off her hips and stepped out of it.
"You ready hon? Want to pass the clothes around the door?"
"Okay", she said in a weak voice. Nude, Kerina walked to the door and, standing behind it, passed her skirt and shirt around.
Brendan took them from her hand, "Okay, have your shower, I will try to find something for you to wear," he chuckled to himself.
Kerina walked to the shower and stepped in. She adjusted the water temperature and relaxed as the water ran over her body. She felt the tensions easing away again, the pretty girl was able to put aside all the horrible events of the last couple of days and just let the water take her thoughts away.
All too soon, however, the water started to cool and Kerina realised she had been in there a while. She turned off the water and stepped out to get the fluffy pink towel. Standing there nude and wet, she grabbed the towel and dried her self, looking around. Her reflection looked back at the from the mirror, the little princess Aurora necklace sitting prettily on her skin.
A knock at the door made her jump.
"Uh yes?"
"I found something for you to wear. My sister has her room locked, so I can't get her stuff, but I got something for you here."
"Oh, okay, Kerina agreed eager to get dressed."
"Here you go," Jack said as the door opened a little and his hand offering the clothes pushed in. Kerina was surprised for a second but then she eagerly took the clothing. She passed the towel around the door to him also at his request so he could hang it out to dry and then the door closed again.
"I'll be out in the lounge room okay," Jack called out as he walked away.
Kerina unfolded what she was holding and realised it was a t-shirt. She looked around the floor for a minute thinking she must have dropped something.
Nothing there!
Feeling a little nervous, Kerina unfolded the t-shirt all the way, expecting to find something else wrapped up with it.
Nothing else!
Kerina pulled the white cotton shirt on anyway, deciding it was better to be semi-clad than to be nude. She now had personal experience on the subject.
Pulling her head through the t-shirts neck hole, Kerina let the shirt fall down over her shoulders, breasts, tummy and hips. To her dismay she discovered it didn't cover as much as it first appeared. The hem of the t-shirt sat about three inches below her crotch as she stood there, revealing a long bare stretch of thigh down to her knee. The t-shirt while not skin tight was still not baggy and had some shape to it, Kerina's bodies shape to be specific. The sleeves were a bit looser and went almost down to her elbows, but the neckline was also a bit more generous than Kerina's petite body required. The front of the t-shirt had a big black tick and the words 'Just do id'. Obviously a cheap knock off.
Kerina's biggest concern, however, was that while her modesty was preserved, albeit barely, if she was to do anything but stand, the t-shirt would likely ride up and expose her lack of underwear.
Pushing her long blonde hair back over her shoulders and adjusting her princess necklace, Kerina took a deep breath and opened the door. She walked back down the hall to the lounge.
"Brendan?" Kerina called out weakly
"In here Kerry."
Kerina walked into the lounge, where Brendan sat relaxed on the big lounge, wearing his jeans and black singlet still. Kerina stood just in the doorway nervously until he looked up.
"You okay babe?" he asked, trying to hide the malicious glee he felt, reducing his sister's friend to this state.
"Uh, yeah...its just I was wondering...if there is anything else I could put on?" Kerina asked weakly.
His attention back on the TV, Brendan answered Kerina distractedly, "Uh, yeah no, sorry babe. Jane locks her room and that was the only clean thing I have. Well, I have undies, but they would be too big for you. Is something wrong?"
"Uh, well, it's a bit...that is, its... no nothing, it is ok," Kerina stammered, thinking at least she could maybe just go to sleep and Brendan wasn't even paying attention to her, "Uhm, where should I sleep tonight?"
"Oh, on this lounge. It doesn't fold out, but it is a big lounge and I can get you a blanket later on."
Kerina stood there nervously as Brendan turned his attention back to the TV.
Not wanting to sit on the lounge, Kerina wandered back toward the kitchen when she heard the doorbell ring. She turned around nervously. She heard the door open and muted voices, then footsteps coming towards her!
Kerina looked around but the only way out, apart from the hall to the lounge room, was through a glass door into the backyard. She compromised and stood behind the kitchen bench instead. She was standing there looking around nervously when Brendan and another taller brown haired guy walked in.
"Hey Kerry, this is Mike. We need to talk some business, but his two younger bro's are out in the lounge room. Can you go and look after them for us?"
"Uh, but....I...." Kerina stammered.
"Good thanks babe, off you go," Brendan said with out even looking at her. Mike started pulling pamphlets out of a bag he was carrying. A laptop also came out and he put it beside the pamphlets and turned it on.
Kerina padded bare foot down the hallway, feeling nervous twinges in her tummy as she heard the voices of the boys in the lounge room. Kerina looked in to see two guys wrestling around on the floor. One had shorter brown hair and the other had longer curly blonde hair. They were both over six feet and although their faces were younger, their bodies were well toned and skinny. They wore track pants, one had a white tank top and the other had a grey t-shirt.
Kerina stood there uncertainly until they looked over and saw her there. Kerina was dismayed as their looks of surprise quickly turned into what appeared to be a more adult curiosity. They untangled themselves and stood up.
"Uh, hi guys. I am Kerina," Kerina said trying to appear confident.
"Hi Kerina," said the blonde haired one, "Uh who are you?"
"Oh, I am a friend of Brendan's sister, Uhm what is your names?" she asked.
"Marty," said the blonde haired one, "And he is Jim," Marty said pointing to the brown haired boy who was just staring.
'Oh, well, pleased to meet you," Kerina said feeling her cheeks redden.
"Well, don't just stand there, if you are going to keep an eye on us you should come on in."
