Prologue;
As I begin to relate this story I can't help but feel that little flush of embarrassment that I struggled with that evening. I mean Alessandria was my kid sister, at college and away from home for the first time, no wonder that night she was so frightened. But before I digress and confuse the issues let me take you back to the beginning.
It was a quiet Friday evening and I was thrilled with the possibility of having a little private time. Mom and Dad had gone with friends skiing for the weekend and as I mentioned Alessandria was away at school. Me? Having just recently returned from a hitch in the Military had planned a weekend on the couch with some of movies I had missed. Oh yes, and I also planned not to waste my time in ignorance so I intended to ingest a large amount of American History, well to be more honest, I had a chilled case Sam Adams Summer Ale, he was a historic figure wasn't he, I was going to let him effect my brain. I had just opened that first chilled chapter when the phone rang.
"Hello"
"Is this Mister David Billings?"
"No, I'm his son, sorry but he's not home at the moment, would you like to leave a message?"
Then as the conversation continued I was informed Allie as I always called Alessandria and another girl had been attacked and a sexual assault had been attempted but some college boy's saw it and went to their aid.
I was further informed she was at the campus police station and was afraid to go back to her single bedroom apartment alone. I informed them to keep her calm and let her know I was on my way. Normally it would take me an hour and a half or so but farewell to Sam and his twin bottles I hit the road and turned ninety minutes into sixty.
CHAPTER I
I picked Allie up at the Campus Police Station and when she first saw me she was almost breaking my neck with a hug so strong that I finally understood the term bear hug but once free of her clutches we drove to her apartment. Once there she really broke down, apparently once realizing she was finally home safe with me at her side. The crying and clinging became worse as she readjusted to being protected which made it possible for me to finally convince her she needed some rest.
Allie got into her night dress and under the covers with me sitting on the bed while we talked for awhile. I tried hard to keep the conversation about our parents and their holiday weekend ski trip, stuff about home and about my finally being out of the service and getting ready to go back to school. Avoiding talk about this evenings previous events apparently worked as Allie became finally became sleepy eyed letting her slowly fall asleep. Once that was accomplished I headed to the living room and stripped to my boxers. The last thing I remember was fluffing the pillow as I hit the couch and was in no time at all was in deep sleep
My restful sleep suddenly became cramped and my poor ass was equally uncomfortable as suddenly it seemed to be assaulted by drafts so cold sleep became impossible. My discomfort forced my eyes open and when they did mere inches from my nose was Allie's. Her eyes were closed and the look on her face would let any observer know she was somewhere deep in contented sleep. As for me, my current situation only strengthened a previously learned fact, when you sleep with women you had best be prepared for a cold butt because most women are notorious for stealing the blankets.
Allie may have been content but for me this was not going to do, somehow I had to get her back into her own bed or sleep for me would be a commodity on the endangered species list. Aside from the fact I would get no sleep and my butt would end up frozen I realized that my back would be out of whack for days. So I tried to gently awaken her without causing alarm but to no avail even shaking her gently seemed to have no effect. Then I thought of a solution, Allie on her best day or worst from a woman's point of view couldn't have weighed any more than 105 pounds, so I decided to carry her back to bed.
I quietly pulled aside what little of the blanket still covered me and began to climb over her sleeping body and as I did other than the small piece she held tightly tucked under her chin the entire blanket fell away exposing the finest specimen of artwork that mine or any other parents could have created. I'm embarrassed to say this but as Allie lay there in her now contented sleep I couldn't help but stare and as my eyes traveled each inch and etched all it saw into my pictorial memory.
Allie's night gown had totally rearranged itself, the top it had shifted dramatically to the left leaving her perfectly shaped right breast exposed to my now totally attentive eyes. Fortunately or was it unfortunately that was a mere the tip of the iceberg because when my field of vision traveled down I was at first shocked to see she had pierced her belly button with a piece of jewelry but it was shocking was the sense I had seen that piece of jewelry before.
What I hadn't seen before was what lay below that pretty belly button ornament; there below it on full display and unadorned by panties was a neatly trimmed bush that lay just below a stomach that was so flat you could have used it as an ironing board. The sight was so captivating I had to fight weakening and cast aside my animal instinct then recapture a sense of responsibility. Somehow did covering her charms picking her up and carrying her to bed.
Once there I tried to gently drop her into bed but as I did she shook violently as if trying to get free of my grasp. Apparently thinking she was still being attacked but when she saw it was me she stuck her face in my neck and hugging herself to me as she cried into my ear, "I don't want to sleep alone I'm afraid, why can't I sleep with you?"
"Allie, if you sleep on the couch with me my back will be so screwed up I won't be able to walk for a month."
"Then sleep with me, there is plenty of room, just go get your pillow."
Big mistake, I was exhausted from the stress of it all so what she said made sense and I got the pillow.
I did just that went and got the pillow crawling under the covers with Allie and fell asleep in no time at all.
It felt like only minutes but according to her bedside clock it was about two hours had passed when her quiet sobbing awoke me once again. Instinctively wanting so sooth and protect her I rolled onto my side and took her shaking body into my arms. I kissed the back of her head telling her she was safe now and that I was here to protect her and asked her to try and relax and to get some sleep adding that she'd feel better in the morning.
"You just don't understand no one could understand."
I pulled her tighter to demonstrate that I was strong enough to take care of her as I whispered, "Talk to me Allie, I'm here trust me, nobody is going to hurt you."
"I know, I know that but that's not it, I know no one can try anything while you are here, I know you'd take care of me but that's not it, no one will ever understand."
Once again I decided the only way to calm her was to control the direction of the conversation so we chatted about all kinds of stuff until finally in a moment of weakness the truth came out. As Allie sobbed quietly she told me that she was still a virgin and she had promised herself that she would only give it to someone she loved not at some wild drunken bash. But tonight she felt so vulnerable when some Bastard was just seconds and from taking that away from her that is until those some thoughtful guys ripped the Bastard away from her and delivered them to the authorities. And as we talked Allie restlessly moved about inadvertently kicking the covers about and in doing so putting abundant charms on a painful display, painful for me that is. My masculine hormones were ragging from the display and I needed to put an end to it.
"Please don't take this the wrong way Allie but as I lay here and you thrash around you're putting your feminine beauty before my masculine eyes and if you keep up the show someone who loves you may be the one that rapes you, so I'm out of here!" Allie gasped with the realization of her absent mindedness as she pulled the blankets once again up under her chin and I grabbed my pillow kissed her forehead and heading for the couch.
Apparently all went well because the next thing I remember was being still on the couch and being awakened by the sweet smelling dampness that surrounded me. When I opened my eyes there before me was a freshly showered and shampooed Allie filling my nose with that awesome feminine fragrance.
