Chapter 5 - My Cousin, My Teacher
When I returned home that morning, my mother was already up and in the kitchen having coffee with Aunt DJ and cleaning up from their breakfast.
"Hello, Sleepyhead!" Mom said as she looked up and saw me coming into the house.
"Hey, Mom, Aunt DJ," I replied.
"You just missed breakfast, but I can make you something real quick, if you want," she told me.
"Naw, I'll just make myself some cereal," I told her.
"So, I heard you had an unexpectedly short night last night," Mom said over the top of her coffee cup.
"Yeah, I was really tired and can't believe I conked out like that. Ms. Anderson told me she talked to you and I could stay there for the night," I said, pouring myself a cup of coffee and trying to sound nonchalant.
"It sounded like you were able to help her out. I can't remember the last time she sounded that happy," Mom observed.
"Yeah, I think she's in the clear, but I told her I'd try and keep an eye on things just to make sure. I also offered to set up some security on her home computer because anyone could hack into it, if they wanted." That last part was true. I'd mentioned how vulnerable Carrie's home computer was the first time I got on it, but she was so distraught over being blackmailed, I doubt she remembered. "I'm going to head to my room and get cleaned up. Is Kacie still asleep?"
Aunt DJ answered, "I tried to get her up a couple times, but knowing her, she's still in bed. Why don't you see if you can roust her? Tell her we need to be leaving in a couple hours."
"Okay," I said as I headed towards my room. When I got there, the door was half-open and I looked in to see my cousin still under the covers. I slipped in and closed the door quietly. When I sat on the edge of the bed, Kacie rolled over and looked up at me through nearly closed eyes.
She groaned. "Don't tell me my mom sent you in to get me up," she grumbled.
"Yep, but I also wanted to ask you for a favor," I replied.
Her eyes opened up a little more. "Yeah? What kind of favor?" she asked suspiciously.
I suddenly started to have second thoughts about my plan, but decided to press ahead. "I met this girl and she wants to have sex, but I want to make sure I know how to please her before we, uh... you know," I finished lamely.
Kacie's eyes opened wide. "Holy shit! You met a girl? And she wants to have sex with you? Are you fucking kidding me? What are you waiting for?" She sat up in the bed with the sheet falling off of her to reveal the long t-shirt she usually wore to bed. I could make out the shape of her bare breasts as they moved under the thin cotton material when she wiggled around to get herself comfortable. She saw me looking, but didn't care.
"Who is she?"
"I'm not ready to tell anyone about her until I know whether we're really together, you know?" I said.
