Carly Bellhorn heard the sound and alarm washed over her body. The sound was coming from the window. It sounded as though somebody was tapping their fingernails against the windowpane.
She turned around, quickly, prepared for the worst, and the paperback romance novel slid from her small hands to her lap. It took her moment to find the cause of the tapping sounds. The promised evening rain had begun to fall, striking the living room window.
She hadnât noticed the coming of the rain, nor the gathering of twilight, but now that she gathered her thoughts and put things into perspective, she noticed it was rather dim in the living room, so she reached over to the lamp beside her, turned the switch, picked the book up from her lap and resumed reading. In moments the whole experience slipped her mind.
The living room was very small, but incredibly cozy. There was brand new brown carpet on the floor, a nice sofa, a nice couch, and the rocking chair where she sat now. There was a coffee a few feet across from the sofa, a real nice one Fatherâs great grandmother had given to him before she died. There was forty inch television, a DVD player, an expensive VCR, and hundreds of videos and DVDs to watch. Father didnât actually make enough money to afford these things, but bought them anyway. Carly couldnât actually object to Fatherâs not so clever financial decisions, and for three very good reasons. Number One: She likes these things just as much as he did; Number Two: he bought her pretty much whatever she asked for, just as long as she cleaned the house, made supper and gave him his space; and Number Three: If she ever asked him to stop being foolish, he might just giving her whipping, which wasnât worth an argument. Carly just sat back and enjoyed the life, although she didnât have much freedom.
At eighteen sheâs only had one boyfriend, and that affair had lasted only a single week. Her sexual experience includes three men, all of them older men from around the neighborhood involved with wives who wouldnât touch them. Carly was glad to get the experience, even though these older men always used her up, coming three and sometimes for before leaving. Sheâd lost her virginity to the man who lived across the street and he hadnât been very gentle when he put it in her the first time. These man watched a lot of pornography and expected Carly to act out certain scenes. They wanted blowjobs, they wanted her to deep throat their cocks, they wanted to lick her pussy, they wanted to fuck her in the ass, they wanted to cum on her face or have her swallow it all, and they never cared much about her in the end.
Carlyâs father could be strict and she wasnât allowed to leave the house for her own reasons. She left to do grocery shopping, to buy clothes, to get what Father needed and to go to school. Nothing more. Sheâs gotten to know the living room quite well over the years, but sheâs come to like being familiar with things. She didnât care to much for surprised. She didnât care too much about boys and having a good time. The world outside her house was unfriendly and scary. It was much safer in the house, reading books and cooking for Father. Even doing all her chores was better than being in the cruel world outside.
The light shined down on her angelic face, reflecting from her glasses. A person walking past the window mightâve thought Carly was an ordinary girl sitting on a rocking chair, reading a romance novel. If the person actually got closer to the window and a got a real good look, he would have been shocked to see just how wrong heâd actually been. Carly is about five foot seven and weighs about one hundred and ten pounds. Her eyes are light blue, big and sparking, hiding behind the glasses, which hide her true beauty. Her hair is dark brown, shoulder length and wavy. If not for some small distractions, the person at the window would have seen a girl that very much resembles Angelina Jolie, although Carlyâs breasts arenât as full. Her lips are just as full and thick, however. She has a nice, round ass, long legs, small hands and cute, but her stomach isnât as flat as it could. A life time of living indoors leads to chronic eating, though Carly isnât fat by any stretch of the imagination. Her thighs and ass are a tad thick. Her complexion is bright, her skin is very silky, made possible by many moisturizing creams.
The romance novel she read was pretty interesting, despite it being just like any other sheâd read during her life of solitude. In this story, a young woman falls in love with a sexy older man, they fall in love, but their families dispute their marriage because of the age differences. The story really began getting interesting when the girlâs older lover is kid named by the manâs young nephew, who believes the girl is better suited with him. All day long, Carlyâs eyes have been glued to the story, which is called The Perfect Love. A really cheesy title for a romance story, but the title didnât affect the story.
Carly found herself smiling when the girl kicked a bowl of soup of the hands of the nephew while her arms were tied around her chair. The nephew, who claimed to love her more than any other man, acted calmly, cleaning the mess and bringing back another bowl. Carly wished the girl good luck and hoped the evil nephew burned in hell. She also couldnât wait for the man to come to the rescue. In the previous chapter, the man had found out exactly where the nephew was hiding his girl. Carly read closely, feeling the same suspenseful anticipation a person would watching the climax of a movie.
Carly closed her eyes and thought of her perfect man. A big, husky, gentle, handsome man in his late thirties, big chest, strong arms, a piece of meat sculpted from the finest dreams the sandman could conjure. He was sweet and sensitive and always did the nicest things for her. They lived in a castle surrounded by water, there were guards, servants, jesters and much money. They werenât king and queen, but they lived like royalty, and all the people around them adored them. When Carly dreamed, she dreamed big.
Suddenly, a soft noise broke her concentration. The fantasy was broken. There were footsteps coming from inside the house. They came every ten seconds or so, and Carly was positive it wasnât the rain. She could still hear the tapping of the rain against the living room window.
Carly was started to get scared. She placed the romance novel next to the lamp and rose from the rocking chair while another light footstep came from the kitchen. Her mind began to panic. Thereâs an intruder in the kitchen, her voice in her head said. He might be a rapist. He killer. Maybe both.
She took another footstep toward the kitchen and froze. Father emerged from the kitchen, stepping into the living room slowly. He was soaking wet and completely dirty. His jeans were covered with grass stains. He was an impressive man, six foot four, two-fifty, black hair, muscular from years of manual labor, green eyes, almost no neck.
âDaddy,â she gasped.
âWho were you expecting,â he growled. He was in a foul mood, she could tell by the cold stare, the demeanor on his face, the fact that he came in through the back door.
âI thought somebody broke in. You donât usually come home at five-thirty.â
âCanât work the cemetery in the rain,â he said. He ran his fingers through his wet hair. Another bad sign. He wasnât pleased with something and was waiting for the perfect moment to bring it up, then he saw the romance novel with bookmark sticking out near the end of the book, by the lamp.
âYou read all day, Car.â
âYes, Father. But I did all my chores.â
âMost of the house is real nice,â he said. His voice was gruff. His face had little emotion. It was so stern it sometimes freaked Carly out. âThe living room is very nice. Is dinner done?â
âYou said you wanted sandwiches. I was going to make them in a half an hour, but you came home early.â
There was silence. Father was looking into her eyes, Carly looked down at the floor. Sheâd made some kind a mistake, but daddy was keeping her in suspense. If this life is actually novel, Carly thought, then the reader of the story was on the edge of their seats wondering what was wrong.
