After picking up my needs, I went to find her again. I had to look, until I realized she was sitting on the floor behind the cart, tears on her face. She looked up at me, and said in a quivering voice, "I thought you'd left me here."
This girl was shattered, I thought. "Not gonna happen. Sorry Jill. I shouldn't have left you alone. Come on, get up, and let's finish shopping." I helped her up and gave her a hug. I knew she had been through some things, but I didn't realize how fragile she was. I checked the cart and she had gotten nothing. "Let's go find some things to make you even more beautiful!"
With a weak smile, she said, "You don't have that much money."
"I'm with the prettiest woman in Arizona. There probably isn't anything to make you look better, but there are probably things you want! Grab that cart and we can find some things for you."
She gave me a sideways look again, but we took off and found some basic makeup, shampoo, and the usual items. She stopped in the feminine aisle, and I said "If you need it, get it. I'm not embarrassed if you're not." She picked a few items with a bit of a blush.
After the checkout, we loaded everything in the Subaru and I asked what she wanted for dinner. As usual at this point, it was "whatever I wanted". Sigh. "What do you like on your pizza? I will have one delivered. Do you have a favorite kind?"
"I haven't had that often...but I do like pepperoni!" It was nice to see here come out of her shell, if even just ever so slightly.
"I thought it was a rule that all Americans had pizza once a week! You should have eaten a ton of it by now!"
Head down, she said, "Mom didn't buy it often" very quietly. It appeared I had screwed up, again. "You don't ever have to be ashamed of your past with me." Picking up her chin, I said, "Just be honest. We will deal with it."
Once we were home and unloaded, I told her to go try on everything and then we could wash it. I needed to make a couple phone calls and I would order the pizza, I told her. After she was in her room, I called a doctor I knew and made an appointment outside of regular hours for Sunday. I needed more information. I also received an email from a friend regarding the documents I had texted him. They weren't forgeries, per what was in the state records department. He also found a certificate of death for my mother (?), and no records of Jill being in school in the Boston area ever. I sent him an acknowledgement and said I would talk to him Monday at work.
The pizza came, pepperoni of course, and I called Jill to let her know it was here. She came out of the room wearing a new pair of jeans and a pretty green top that was cut lower on her chest. When she bent over to get a slice, I noticed two things. One, she wasn't wearing a bra. Two, while small, her breasts were perfectly shaped. I immediately decided that I was a pervert as well, or that if I was lucky, she wasn't actually related.
After dinner, she looked almost happy. Exhausted, but happy. I asked her how long it was since she slept, and she laughed. "I don't really know. At this point, maybe days." I told her to go to bed, there was nothing else that wouldn't wait for morning. Again, I heard her door lock. I had a drink and tried to set my alarms and went to bed myself. Sleep didn't come easy that night, as my mind was confused. "She's beautiful. But she might be my sister. You don't really know her. You don't know anything about her. But she is attractive" thoughts going in a circle through my mind.
I awoke in the morning about 6:30 as I usually do. She was still in the room, hopefully sleeping as the door was closed. I made some coffee and settled back in my chair. A few minutes later, I was startled, spilling my coffee, by a hand on my shoulder. "Good morning!" she laughed. I was surprised that I didn't hear her come out of her room and wondered if I was losing my touch. She told me she had been up for a while and had been out on the back deck just looking. She said, "You didn't tell me you had a pool! I don't have a suit or I would have been in it."
Totally confused, I checked a few things. I had failed to set the alarm properly or would have known she was out there. I had failed to check my cameras. If she was out to get me in any way, I would have been had. This was absolutely out of character for me. She stared at me as all these thoughts whirled through my head. "Did I do something wrong? Oh my God, all I do is screw up! I'm so sorry!"
I had to grab her and pull her down. "You didn't do anything wrong. I made a mistake or two and was confused, that's all. Calm down, let's get you some breakfast and plan our day."
I made some biscuits and gravy with some bacon. She looked at it like it was a feast fit for a queen and said, "How did you know my favorite?" "I didn't make your favorite, I made mine!" I said.
After breakfast, I told her she had an appointment this afternoon at two, but the rest of the day was clear. I also told her I was not going to be able to take her to the appointment, as I had some work to do (completely true, I had ignored my work all day Saturday). I called Irene, who I had texted yesterday, to make sure that she was going to come and get Jill. I told Jill, "You will like her. She works for me, but she is a sweetheart and I think you need some time with another girl." She agreed to go, and then we decided to go out to "Tarjay" again and get her a bathing suit. I told her to go pick one out while I grabbed a couple of things. Before I walked away, I looked at her and said, "I'll be baack!" in my best Ahnold impersonation, just to give her some reassurance.
Ten minutes later, I found her still staring at the swimsuits. "I don't know what to get," she said. While one part of me wanted her to get the micro bikini, we picked out a one-piece that had high-cut legs. I knew she would still look good in it too. Back home, she went to change and told me I had to change too. I changed quickly and was in the pool when she came out. Man was I glad I was in the pool, because it made me look like less of a pervert with the lump in my suit. I still stared a little too long, but I am a guy!
She wore the white one-piece we picked out, and it accentuated everything she had. I kept having to remind myself that she might be my sister. She looked at me, blushed, and shocked me by cannonballing in right beside me! After clearing my eyes, I said, "Payback is a bitch, you know!" with a silly grin on my face.
She started that magical laughter again and said, "Gotta catch me first!" and swam away as quickly as she could. I found that she could swim faster than me, but that she wasn't really strong enough to dunk me. I was very gentle with her, and only dunked her once as revenge. I found out that I really enjoyed the feel of her on me, and that her nipples appeared to be amazing...then I mentally slapped myself. She looked at me and blushed, walking to the ladder to get out. It appeared to me that she might have some of the same issues I was having.
After a light lunch, I took the truck to the office. I was going to go through the reports I had on her with a fine-toothed comb. I reminded her twice before I left that she had an appointment and that I would be back.
At 1:15, I saw the alert on my phone that Irene had arrived. Irene was a secretary at my business. She also worked with the traumatized women that I occasionally had to deal with, which was why I sent her for Jill. Irene was 5'6", 26, an auburn-haired very curvy girl that I would have loved to date. I kept a very strict rule about fraternization at work, however, and being that she was exceptionally good at her job, I had to just look and fantasize from time to time. I did get a quick text from her that she was there, and that she would let me know when they were finished.
"Hi, I'm Irene. We have an appointment I believe!" Jill looked at her like she was a Martian. Irene, confused, just said "What?". Jill started laughing and said she just thought since her name was Irene she would be much older. "My mom saddled me with my Gramma's name. I figure there aren't too many of us, so I just rock it!" The bonding began almost immediately.
Off they went in Irene's car. "Where are we going?" Jill asked.
Irene began laughing, and said, "You got in a car with a stranger and don't know where you're going? Your mama didn't teach you anything!" Jill got very quiet after that, and after they pulled in the parking lot, Irene took her hand and said, "Look, I don't know what is up with you, but I'm sorry about anything I might have said. We are here, this is a doctor's office that Mike's company works with. She's going to give you a physical, just to make sure you are healthy."
Jill very quietly said, "My mother didn't teach me much. And I've never had a physical. I have no idea what you're talking about."
Irene's mouth dropped, then she said, "This may be a shock to you, she is going to look at ALL of your body. If you can't handle this, let me know now. And by all, I mean all...like inside and such."
Jill sat in silence for a minute, and said, "Stay with me in the room, and I will do it. I have heard of it, but nobody ever did it to me."
Irene's heart broke a little, and she said, "I won't leave you alone, I promise. I don't know what the deal is with Mike, but he's a good guy. He won't hurt you either. Now let's go in and do this."
Mike was still at the office when his phone buzzed...twice. One from Irene, letting him know they were leaving the Doctor's office. The other from the doctor that said "Call me ASAP". Mike immediately called her. "Doctor Margaret Shuman, how may I help you?"
Mike laughed and said, "Still so formal after all these years! Apparently you have something I need to know."
