Mike ignored her, turning and starting towards class, his steamed sister following behind. He could feel the energy of her stare penetrating his back. “What’s the matter?” he asked, turning and looking at her. That snapped her out of her haze, and the scowl disappeared instantly.
“Nothing,” she lied. “I just don’t wanna see you get hurt, that’s all.”
Mike turned and headed to his class.
The day passed uneventfully. After school Mike texted Emily to ask if she wanted to hang out sometime and catch up.
“Of course,” came the reply. “How about I come there?”
“Sure,” he said. “We can swim if you want.”
“Sounds fun,” she texted back. “See you in an hour?”
“Okay, see you then.”

Back at home, Emma called a girl meeting and quickly updated them on Emily. They’d been hoping that Mike wouldn’t see her until his memory had returned. This had definitely complicated things.
Mike walked from his room downstairs through the kitchen and out through the patio door in the living room to clean up the backyard.
“Emily’s coming over to visit,” he said as he passed through the kitchen.
“Okay,” Sarah said, masking the concern in her voice.
Danni plopped her head down on the table with a thunk. “We’re never getting him back now,” she said.
Beth laid an arm across her. The room was quiet for a few minutes. “Who would have thought…” Beth said, cryptically, typical for her.
“Thought what?” Sarah asked, after they had stared at her for a few seconds, waiting for a reaction.
Beth smiled and glanced at Danni. “Who would have pictured Danni a year ago being broken up over Mike not paying attention to her. The old Danni would have paid money to get him to quit bothering her.”
Danni raised her head and smiled weakly. “Maybe I need to bring her back and kick the shit out of him again.”
The sisters laughed lightly together for a few moments. As the laughter subsided, Sarah spoke up.
“So what are we gonna do about this one. She doesn’t have any brothers that we can get to seduce her, and she’s about as pure as girl can get.” The girls were silent for awhile.
“Maybe we can just tell Mike what’s going on,” Emma said. “He admitted that his dream last night was dirty. It was probably about someone he was sleeping next to,” she said, leaning over and brushing Danni’s hair away.
She smiled and raised her head, “You really think so?”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Emma smiled and leaned down to kiss her on the forehead. “He might be ready to hear what is going on,” she said, but knew it to be false. The tone of her voice said as much.
“He was pretty broken up about whatever he dreamed about last night,” Beth said.
Emma nodded. “Wishful thinking,” she said.
“We can’t just up and spill the beans,” Danni said. “If he’s upset because he dreamed about one of us, how do you think he’ll react to the knowledge that he’s been fucking all four of us.”
“Emily’s been through a lot in the past few months,” Emma said. “I doubt she’s going to want to be in any kind of serious relationship.”
That seemed to reassure the other three sisters.
“We can always torture him,” Beth said, smiling and winking at the other three. “It sure is a hot day; if we were to go out in our skimpiest bikinis when Emily gets here, we would need to rub sunscreen on each other.”
Sarah giggled. “You’re so bad, Bethy!” she said.
A little over forty-five minutes later, Emily rang the doorbell. Danni opened the door and smiled, offering the younger girl a big hug as she stepped inside. “Hey, how are you?” she said.
“I’m okay,” Emily replied and moved to hug Sarah, who had just come around the corner.
“Hey Emily,” Sarah said, smiling. “Mike’s out back, probably bench pressing the lawn mower trying to get all buff and sweaty for you.”
Emily rolled eyes. “Same old Michael.”
Images of Mike’s first date with Emily came back to Sarah then. She’d always thought it was curious how she always called him Michael, and not Mike, like everyone else. Mike had been 15 at the time and Sarah had dropped them off at the movie theatre.
Beth came around the corner and Sarah did a double take, covering her mouth for a second. Her perfect breasts were barely covered, blue fabric triangles straining to cover as much of her breasts as possible. Barely a third was covered however, and Sarah was glad that she had put on shorts over the undoubtedly skimpy bikini bottoms.
Emily did a slight double take and giggled, hugging Beth.
“Good lord, Bethy, you’ve really come out of your shell!”
Beth smiled and nodded. “College will do that to a girl,” she said. “I’ve got another suit upstairs if you wanna try it on.”
Emily smiled and glanced down at her smaller breasts. “I don’t think I could pull it off, thank you though.”
Beth laughed and led her to the backyard.
“Mikey,” Beth yelled. “Emily is here!”
Mike turned and gasped as he saw what Beth was wearing. His eyes tried to roll out of his head.
Beth noticed and smiled, as the other sisters came out behind her.
He put the bag of trash the he’d been picking up in the backyard, windblown from outside their fence, over the fence to the trash cans and turned. His torso was still black and blue in spots but the work outside was loosening his muscles up a bit, and he actually began to feel better. He smiled and reached for his shirt, draped over a chair on the deck, and turned as he pulled it over his head towards Emily.
“Hey,” he said simply and wrapped her in a hug.
