I'm going to fast forward a little at this point. The next logical chapter in the story of Paige and me took a sad and tragic turn that Sunday afternoon. I'll try to sum it up briefly.
We'd cleaned up the house, preparing for Sarah's and Tom's return. We were cuddled on the couch, watching a movie on TV. I wasn't really watching the movie. My brain was churning. I was trying to figure out just what would become of Paige and me. I had fallen in love with my beautiful niece and I couldn't just walk away after all we'd done and said, but how could we go on. Some how we had to. I had to have her. She had to be mine. But how?
That sunny Sunday afternoon we got the news. The plane carrying Sarah and Tom home had crashed, everyone aboard were presumed dead. I was stunned and Paige devastated. She slipped into a deep depression and fell silent. She disappeared for a while, but I found her at her friend Megan's.
____________________________________
Paige's best friend Megan had just turned eighteen and had her own apartment. It was just a little one bed room place above her neighbor's garage but it seemed quaint and comfy.
I had met Megan once or twice before, but never noticed just how good looking she was. She was tall and dark with long black hair and deep brown eyes. She was quite lovely, with her rather large young breasts straining her short little t-shirt and her cut-off jean shorts, Daisy Duke style, showing off her long tanned legs and very shapely ass. In my mind there was no woman more beautiful than my Paige. I was biased, I had known Paige her whole life and she had always been special to me. Paige was the precise replica of what, in my opinion, was the perfect woman, Sarah. Now, with Sarah's passing, Paige was the ideal woman. Megan was drop-dead-gorgeous. She was Hollywood, movie-star-beautiful. How I had missed it before, I do not know.
Megan and I stood in her small, tidy living room, as she told me that Paige had been drinking a lot and crying off and on, but otherwise she was OK. She said that Paige didn't want to talk to anyone. I said I understood. Megan stood still for a few seconds, apparently reflecting on Paige and Sarah, when her beautiful, brown eyes began to well with tears. Without a seconds hesitation, I took Megan into my arms and held her close. She buried her head into my shoulder and sobbed.
She pressed her firm young body against me as she soaked my shirt with her hot tears. I felt her breasts pushed hard against my chest as she squeezed me. There was something in the warmth of her tears and her hot breath on my shoulder and her firm round breasts, pressed to my chest that I found extremely arousing. I felt my manhood begin to stir as I stroked Megan's long dark hair, telling her, "Everythings going to be alright."
I ran my hand down her long, silky tresses and down along her back until I reached her waist. I stopped myself from going any further.
I placed a hand on each of Megan's shoulders and took a step back. She looked up at me, her face still wet with tears and sobbed, "I'm sorry. I got your shirt all wet." She managed a little smile and wiped her face with the bottom of her t-shirt which exposed her taught, tanned stomach. She had a little ring in her navel, similar to Paige's piercing. I found that so hot.
I stood there with my hands on Megan's shoulders staring into her deep, brown eyes. I looked her over, top to bottom and back again. My gaze traveled up her long, beautiful legs, across the wrinkles in her shorts, where her legs met, then to her belly, exposed because she held the bottom, still bunched in her hand. As my eyes reached her breasts, she heaved a sigh which caused them to rise and fall. The shape of her nipples was obvious through the fabric of her shirt. I raised my eyes to her face. She was biting her lower lip and she had such a demure look on her face. She was acting as if she was shy about my checking her out, but I could see that she was enjoying it. Our eyes locked as we stared into one another's eyes for several seconds before she said, "You don't have to go right now, do ya?"
I drew a deep breath and asked Megan to call me when Paige was ready to come home. "I'll bring her home if you want me to." she said. "Or you can come over, anytime you want." There was something flirtatious in her voice.
"Thanks Megan," I said, "Paige is lucky to have such a good friend." I was trying to get things back into their proper perspective. Megan's demeanor changed slightly as her thoughts shifted back to Paige.
"I'll call ya," she said.
I gently kissed her fore head and said, "Take care of our girl," and added, "I'll see ya later."
"Yeah, later," she echoed. She clung to the open door and watched me as I descended the stairs to the alley.
