“Hey,” Mike said, raising her face up with a finger. “You’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.”
She nodded and slowly uncovered her face, nervously picking at a fingernail. “Well, I began to get worried about when it would all slow down, but he just kept getting crazier and crazier. He convinced me to try… letting him put it… somewhere it normally doesn’t go,” she said. “I began to get a reputation as a girl who’d do anything. I don’t know why I kept agreeing to do these awful things. I stopped going to church, and all I wanted to do was have sex all the time. I stopped going to class and all we did was fool around.”
It was a painful tale for Mike to hear. He’d known Emily as a pure, innocent girl. To hear that she’d been turned into something so slutty was awful. He felt so sorry for her.
“Eventually we went to a party and I got drunk, my first time. I woke up and there were so many guys around me. Shawn was off with some other girl, and his friends were just using me. I had a guy in every hole imaginable” A tear trickled down her cheek. “The worst thing is that I didn’t mind. I woke up the next day, naked, bruised, and sore. I hadn’t gone to class or church in at least a month. Someone had taken my clothes and Shawn was nowhere to be seen. I had to do a walk of shame halfway across campus in just my skin.”
Mike sighed, shaking his head and squeezing her knee.
“Back at home, unknown to me at the time, mom and dad were having problems. Mom began to cheat on dad. She kept going out with a friend of hers and meeting different men. She didn’t even try to hide what she was doing. Long story short, she met some guy and ran off with him. You know what a good man my father is,” she said, looking up at him. It seemed this part of the story hurt more than her California experiences. “After she left, he never said a word. He started working double, even triple shifts to try to make enough money for my college tuition. He’s heartbroken. He loved her with everything he had, and she just stomped all over his heart.”
“I haven’t spoken to her since the day I left. She’s in New Jersey, or New York somewhere, I think. I honestly don’t really care though. She can rot, for all I care. Anyways, I came back home to be with him. He can’t afford to send me back to California, and I failed all my classes that first semester. He never asked what happened, but I think he blames himself and mom. I don’t know that I can tell him the truth.”
Mike pulled her into the pool, wrapping his arms around her and holding her tightly in his arms as she desperately squeezed him back.
“I was so afraid that you’d yell at me, or tell me to get out, after all the awful things I’ve done.”
“Come on Emily. You know me better than that.”NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
She nodded and leaned against the side of the pool as he released her. “You aren’t disgusted by all the things I’ve done?”
Mike shrugged. “I wouldn’t have asked you to do any of that, but I won’t fault you for doing it. Do you regret doing it?”
Emily thought for a few minutes. “I regret drinking too much at the party and everything after that. Everything before that was my own decision though. I hate to admit that most of it was pretty fun.”
“There you go. Who am I to judge you.”
“Michael, you’re the only boyfriend I’ve ever had. I care more about you than any man in my life – except for my father of course. You are the one that I kept thinking would be so disappointed in how far I’d fallen.”
“You know, I haven’t been to church since you stopped making me go when you left. Maybe we can both start going again,” Mike said.
“That sounds great,” she said, smiling.
“Good. How about dinner tonight?”
Emily smiled. “Sure. I was hoping we could go out.”
Mike smiled back and turned, glancing back at his sisters. Four heads dropped back down and resumed looking at nothing.
Beth stood suddenly and winked at Emma who glanced over as she stood. Beth stopped and made a show of ensuring her bathing suit covered all of the naughty spots that it needed to, knowing full well that both Mike and Emily were watching.
“Good lord, Bethy,” Emily called. “There isn’t much to that thing. What does your boyfriend think of that thing?”
Beth giggled, causing her breasts to jiggle. A sudden breeze began to blow then, chilling the backyard. Beth’s nipples hardened slightly then, and began to press gently against the thin fabric.
Mike was in turmoil. He kept wrenching his eyes from Beth, but Emily was positioned next to him, so that when he glanced over at her, his eyes were driven directly to her cleavage. Her breasts were small, apple sized, but extremely perky. They were hard to ignore, to say the least. He desperately wanted to play with them again.
“I’m not seeing anyone at the moment,” Beth said and dove into the pool.
Unseen by those on the surface, Beth deliberately pulled her top to the side before turning underneath the water to face Mike and Emily as she surfaced. She came up and wiped the water from her face, back over her head and squeezed her hair out, water running in rivulets down her body and across her breasts, her chilled nipples cutting through the air like small erasers atop her pale breasts.
Mike stared dumbfounded for exactly three seconds before shaking his head and turning. “Jesus Beth,” he said, unable to stop himself.
Beth feigned and innocent look and then looked down. “Ooooh,” she said, and fixed her top quickly. “Sorry.”
Emma, Sarah, and Danni laughed quietly to themselves.
As the afternoon wore on, the siblings and Emily swam, and laughed and had a fun time. Conversation drifted from serious topics like the recent anniversary of their parents death, to lighter topics like Mike playing football in high school.
Emily excused herself later that afternoon to head home to change for her evening with Mike.
