Part 1 Escapade by the Pool
It was a typically hot and humid August afternoon in central New York State. Ashley could feel the oppressive sky pressing down on her as she slowly walked off of the soccer field. It was Monday, the first day of soccer practice before her senior year in high school. It had been a long day starting early in the morning with only a short break for lunch before finally ending at 2. Her jersey and shorts were soaked with sweat from the grueling hours with only breaks for water and lunch. Her clothes were plastered to her body revealing a shapely form that had been late to develop. Her brownish blond hair was in a French braid and also soaking with sweat. Every muscle in her tall muscular frame hurt. She knew tomorrow morning she would hurt a lot worse before the next practice session even started.
However, she was pleased with her performance and was confident she would make the varsity team. She was faster than any of the other girls and her ball handling skills were superb. Playing soccer in Germany and Italy had honed her skills even though the regular moves resulting from her Dad's military career meant she was a year behind in school. She had turned 18 at the end of her junior year only a few months after her Dad retired from the army. He had brought them back to the town he grew up in just in time for her to start the second half of the junior year. Luckily she was practiced at making friends.
Ashley yelled to her new friend Emily, "Hey do you want a lift home?
Emily smiled and said "Only if we can stop for a milkshake and some calories. I think I'll faint if I don't eat a horse."
Emily was small and lean at 5' 2". Ashley towered over her by a good 6 inches. Emily was a native of the town and in awe of Ashley's world travels. They had become good friends since they shared several advanced placement classes together. Also they had both been on the track team in their junior year. Emily was a long distance runner while Ashley preferred sprints, hurdles and the long jump. Emily was also gay but it was not an issue for Ashley. They had established their boundaries and each was comfortable in the relationship.
The girls shoved their soccer bags into the back of Ashley's Miata and set off for Papa Ben's ice cream stop. They both ordered two Hoffman snappy grillers. In addition to the hot dogs they each ordered two large shakes and a cheeseburger. They settled at a table under an umbrella and began to ravage the food.
Emily said "No way, one shake would be enough!"
Ashley agreed and commented on the day's practice, "You were awesome Emily. You stripped me of the ball so many times there is no way you won't start as a defender. I hope you didn't make me look too bad."
Emily laughed. "I doubt it. The coach sure noticed all of the goals you scored after blowing past all of the defense. He was really impressed."
Ashley looked down and said, "I hope so. Soccer is my favorite thing in life. I'd really like to settle down in one place for a while and play a whole season without interruption."
Emily respected Ashley's devotion to soccer but replied, "Well there is a lot more to life than sports. This is our senior year and I plan to have fun. If you were not straight it could be even better. Luckily Mary and I have a thing that will help me get past my failure to seduce you."
Ashley laughed at this. "As if anyone could come between you and Mary. You guys have been special friends ever since kindergarten according to Mary. Hell, she's so sweet she could even get me to join the other team."
Emily put her arm around Ashley ignoring the fact that they were both still soaking from the practice. She looked Ashley in the eye and said "Any time you want to join Mary and me for a little fun you know we'd be eager. Mary has said she'd like to get into your track shorts more than once. So just say the word."
Emily then laughed and gave Ashley a kiss on the cheek.
Ashley knew Emily was more than half serious and took the remark as a complement.
Ashley said, "Well you know I want to see where my relationship with Ryan goes. But if it goes on the rocks I may take you up on the offer. You know I love you both."
Ashley thought about Ryan. He was extremely good looking but a bit conceited. Probably what you would expect from a football quarterback who came from one of the upper class families in town. He was smart but his grades suffered slightly from a lack of serious study. He knew his future was secure. Still Ashley's Dad approved of the relationship since Ryan's father was one of his better clients. Her Dad was focused on establishing a private law practice after all of his years in the Army JAG. He kept harping on how important social connections were and the need to make a strong effort to establish them.
Emily said, "Well there is still more to the senior year than soccer and a boyfriend. We need to do some memorable things. Hell with your looks you should aim for home coming queen."
Ashley laughed heartily. "No way! I could never be home coming queen. I'm new at the school and home coming queen is a big deal. Besides I am sure Ellen has that all locked up."
Ellen Somerfield was the head cheer leader and the most popular girl in their class. She had quickly made sure that Ashley knew her place shortly after Ashley had arrived. Things only got worse after that.
Emily drew herself up and looked at Ashley with intense seriousness. "Oh come on. I cannot stand the thought of that drama queen being the home coming queen. A lot of senior girls would like to see her knocked off of her high horse. You in particular should want to deprive her of that title"
Emily chuckled and said, "Now that I think of it, making you home coming queen would be the most awesome thing we could do for our senior year. Come on Ashley let's go for it!"
Ashley laughed with her and said, "I'll think about it. I am not sure I want to open up that wound again."
Ashley's boyfriend Ryan had been Ellen's steady ever since seventh grade. Early in the second half of their junior year, Ellen had abruptly dumped Ryan for someone better. Ellen started going out with William Benton Pembroke III, the sole son of the richest family in the area. Ryan had been devastated and had poured his heart out to Ashley one day after school. After a few days of consoling the conversations turned to chats on things of mutual interest. They had a lot in common and their attraction for each other turned into a relationship.
At this point things turned ugly. Ellen became aware of their relationship and posted on Facebook that Ashley had stolen her boyfriend. This claim was followed by a campaign of lies and slander by Ellen and her cohorts. Ashley had been devastated and told her father. This affair was right down her Dad's experience in the Army JAG. He sent Ellen's Dad a strongly worded letter detailing the legal consequences if Ellen did not desist. All of the social media material quickly disappeared from the web and the whisper campaign at school also stopped. Ashley still had to endure the angry stares from Ellen and her followers. The thought of actually stealing the title of home coming queen was appealing.
Emily looked at her watch and shrieked. "My mother is going to kill me. I'm supposed to help her with the display for the fall clothes. Sara's Dress Shoppe needs me."
The girls threw out the trash and jumped into the Miata. Ashley dropped Emily at her Mom's shop and headed home for a much needed shower.
She had the house to herself since her brother's football practice would keep him busy for another hour or so. Her Dad would not be home until 6 o'clock as always. She tossed her soccer clothes in the washer and quickly downed two large classes of cold water before parading naked to the bathroom she shared with her brother. She took a long, lazy shower. The hot water felt great on her aching muscles.
After the shower she went to her room and took a small package out of her dresser. Inside was a new tiny Brazilian string bikini. It was so small it was barely large enough to show its blue and red floral print. The material was sheer and she could see the outline of her hand through the fabric. She pulled on the bottoms and adjusted the stings on each hip. She twisted and turned in front of the full length mirror on the back of her bedroom door. The bottom consisted of two small triangles. The larger one in the back left most of her buttocks exposed as well as the top of her ass cleavage. It showed off the swelling curves of her generous ass very nicely. The triangle in front was even smaller and barely covered the lips of her cunt. She had gotten waxed at the tanning salon so everything was smooth around the suit. All of her fine blond curls were gone. She was glad she had gone full Brazilian and not left a triangle as the stylist suggested. The suit would not cover even the smallest patch of pubic hair.
