=======================================
Rachel had given me her cell number and told me to call, but I never did. I assumed she did it to be nice when I was lying in the hospital all beaten up. A 'pity' gesture. She probably didn't really want me to call her. After all, she was two years older than me and hot looking. Why would she want to bother with me?
But Isabelle asked if I'd called Rachel and encouraged me when I said I hadn't. I asked her why but Izzy just grinned and said I'd be sorry if I didn't. She thought I wouldn't notice, but when she thought I wasn't looking, her face fell ever so slightly. I pushed the thought away as Rachel was on my mind.
So, I built up my courage and called. I was shocked when Rachel sounded excited and gently scolded me for taking so long. Then she invited me over the next day and let it drop that her parents and Tiny would be out. That got my attention!
I asked Isabelle if I should bring anything like flowers because I was confused about the visit. What did it mean? Was it a date? I had no idea why Rachel wanted to see me. I'd seen her before when Rachel used to visit before Izzy became all hoity-toity, and she always talked to me but never invited me over.
Izzy gave me another cryptic smile. "Don't waste your time with flowers. Rachel doesn't care about romantic stuff like that. But, she does like Turtles chocolates! So get her a box of those."
"Should I wear anything special?"
"Not really. Your faded jeans look good on you, and your dark blue shirt. Ya, those look good. Wear those."
"Thanks, Izzy!"
"No problem! Have fun, little brother!"
Then she grinned at me again. The cryptic smiles were unsettling!
Rachel greeted me at the door with a big smile and hug, and her body felt very cushy! She wasn't built like Izzy at all. Izzy had curves but was toned and looked like a fitness instructor, whereas Rachel was all curves and more fleshy. She had a classic hourglass figure, big breasts, and a curvy butt, and her soft pillowy breasts pushed into my chest when she hugged me. Very nice!
She told me to have a seat and asked if I wanted a drink. I said sure. I was surprised when she came back with a beer!
"Is a beer okay?"
"Sure." I was underage by a year but wasn't going to turn down a beer! I guess it was a perk of seeing an older woman!
Then she sat right beside me. I'm not talking two feet away or a foot away. I'm talking RIGHT beside me, and her bare leg was pressing against mine! Oh, ya! I forgot to mention she was wearing a daisy-dukes outfit with short jean shorts and a western-style shirt tied under her breasts. There was a lot of skin showing! Her tummy was bare, and the top few buttons of her shirt were undone. I could see a lot of boob! Her feet were bare, and she'd painted her toenails bright pink and was wearing a sexy anklet.
Rachel eyed what I was wearing. "You look good in those jeans! You fill them out well and look at how flat your tummy is! You've turned into quite a handsome man!"
I was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, so I mumbled out, 'Thanks.'
She grinned. "But still modest, I see. That's good!"
"I'm glad you came, Simon! I was thinking about you!"
"You were?"
She looked me directly in the eyes and smiled. "Yes."
"There's something you don't know about me, Simon. I don't like girls."
I hadn't inferred she was gay, had I?
She must have noticed my confusion. "I don't mean that way, silly! I mean, I prefer the company of men to women. I find the chattering of most women boring. I like strong men and don't like to play stupid dating games when I like someone. Why waste time if you know what you want. Right?"
"I always liked talking to you when I visited Isabelle. You seemed nice, and Tiny likes you, and I respect Tiny's opinion. And you were cute! Any you still are. And now you're a hero. I can't tell you how many times I've replayed in my head, you BOUNDING up the steps and KICKING the door down and CHARGING that guy. It gets me all riled up every time I think about it!"
Rachel paused and then moved her face REALLY close to mine.
"And I don't mean riled up in my head. Am I making myself clear, Simon? And then when I think about how you were worried about me when you were battered and bruised, I just about melt into a puddle!"
I was flustered by Rachel's compliments and closeness and remembered the Turtles!
"I brought you some Turtles."
"You did? Those are my favourite! I love them!"
I stupidly, said 'I know.'
Rachel cocked her head in curiosity. "How did you know?"
I asked Isabelle, and she told me you liked Turtles."
"Mmmm! Mmmm! Mmmm! Aren't you a peach! Handsome, brave, and considerate!"
What Rachel did next is still burned into my head!
She moved closer to me in slow motion and slid her hand behind my back, and pulled me in until our noses touched. I could feel the air from her nostrils on my face, and then our lips grazed, and then before you know it, we were making out on the couch, and Rachel wasn't shy! She showed me exactly what she wanted. She moved my hand to her breasts, so I started rubbing them. Then she moved my hand down to the button on her shorts, and I popped it. Then she pushed my hand down her shorts. She wasn't wearing any panties! I started rubbing her down there, and her pussy was super wet and warm and slick! She rubbed my cock through my pants and then moved to fish it out. She certainly didn't waste any time!
I should have let her; this was every guy's dream! But something stopped me. If you ask me now what it was, I wouldn't be able to say. Maybe it was that look of, dare I say longing? That kept briefly showing itself on Izzy's face. Whatever it was made me reach down and gently remove Rachels's hands from the front of my pants. I pulled her closer to me instead and moved a hand up to play with her soft breast, and we made out for about thirty minutes before stopping.
Then Rachel looked at her watch. "Sorry, Simon! My parents will be home soon. But this was a good start! Don't you think?"
I nodded like an idiot.
Rachel gave me a sexy smile. "Are you up for more visits?
"Hell yes!" I said, Grinning from ear to ear.
"I'll call you soon, Simon. Sweet dreams!"
Then she gave me a scorching kiss that just about melted my socks!
Rachel and I had made out numerous times since then, we had even gone as far as a hand job for me, and she had started me out on eating pussy! I think I was a natural at it, judging by her moans of pleasure each time. I was at her place again, but my heart wasn't in it tonight, and she noticed.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Izzy. She has been having a hard time with everything. Just yesterday, it was her day to buy groceries, and when she was ready to leave, she asked me to come with her. Usually, I would have thought she was trying to shirk her duties, but it's the new Isabelle, and she asked me to accompany her, not go in her stead, so I said okay and went.
"Isabelle was usually an outgoing shopper, jumping from one aisle to the next and zipping through the store quickly like she owned the place. This time though, she had me pushing the trolley, and she stuck by me the entire time. When we finally got to the cashier and started ringing up our items, she realized that she had forgotten the strawberry ice cream, which is both of our favourites, so I offered to fetch it. But when I started to walk away to get the ice cream, she looked terrified, and kept a hand on me the entire time, and looked tense until we were in the car again."
Rachel continued looking at me patiently knowing I had more to say. It was nice being able to talk to her about these things. I had never had a female friend before. It had always been Isabelle and me until she changed for the worse.
"Go on, Simon, I have a feeling that's not all that's bothering you."
You're right; Izzy is still having nightmares. She wakes up every night screaming, and when I go to her room, she's covered in sweat, and I can see the terror in her eyes. Mum and dad can't calm her down no matter what they try, so I lie with her until she falls asleep, but it's the same next night.
"Well, what happened to her is a girl's worst nightmare. I know she wasn't actually raped, but it was minutes away if you hadn't intervened. It explains the shopping situation as well. She is scared of being around men she doesn't know. That's why she attached herself to you because you make her feel safe and protected."
"I wish there was something I could do!"
Rachel looked at me and appeared to be thinking. "You know, when I was five, I watched a scary movie, Paranormal Activity, and had the worst nightmares. Tiny and I slept in the same room in bunk beds, and I told him he had to sleep with me because I was afraid. So he climbed down from the top bunk and snuggled behind me, and wrapped his arms around me. He was already bigger than me, and I felt safe in his arms. He slept with me for a week until the nightmares went away. Why don't you sleep with Isabelle and see if it helps? We already know she feels safe with you, so it may help to keep her calm and help her get a proper night of rest."
"That's a great idea! Thanks, Rachel! I'll ask her tonight."
Rachel grinned at me. "I'm happy to help! She was and is still my best friend after all. Plus, we can't have you moping around. Now that you have a plan. Do you feel better?"
I did! I was going to sleep next to Isabelle and keep her safe from her nightmares.
Rachel squeezed my cock through my pants. Are you feeling good enough to continue? I was and popped Rachel's button and zipper effortlessly and had my hand down her pants within seconds. After she was moaning from my fingers, I added my mouth and tongue and started eating her pussy like a pro. I was getting good!
That night I waited for Isabelle to climb into bed and then went in and sat down on the covers. She looked over at me questioningly.
"What's up, Si?"
'I had an idea, Izzy. You feel safe with me, right?"
"Of course! You are my superman. You saved me from those assholes."
"Well, I had an idea. What if I sleep next to you? Like we used to do back when we were kids? I could wrap my arms around you and keep you safe, and maybe the nightmares won't be as bad."
