So many people hear the word polygamy and immediately think, Mormons. I get it trust me, it's because of their history and all. The thing is that yes polygamy was practiced in that church for a long time but the church tried to put a stop to that in September of 1890. After that they would practice it in secret so that no one knew, or at least they didn't think anyone knew. It wasn't until 1904 that it was completely stopped, or at least it was in that church. As a matter of fact, any and all polygamist, or as they called it, plural marriages were dissolved, so it all completely ended which means that if a guy had more than one wife, they didn't anymore after congress met with the church leaders. Im not sure exactly when, but there were groups of people that broke away from the Mormon church and started their own versions of the Mormon church, and in those break off versions, they still practice polygamy today. They believe that in order to reach the highest kingdom of heaven they have to have many as wives as possible and as many kids as they could. I know what I'm talking about because I was born into one of those break offs and I grew up in that life. One of the churches is called the FLDS or Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints, again, they aren't Mormons. The other is what we all call the order, and that's the one I was born and raised in. To me, everything they did was normal, it was a way of life and I was suppose to do the same thing. I was suppose to be one of many wives to someone and have a lot of kids and to be perfectly honest, I didn't want that because something about it just didn't feel right to me, I just didn't have a choice in the whole thing. I don't know what it was that made me feel that way, but it haunted me and made me feel sick. It made me feel sick to know that I was suppose to get married, and share my husband with a whole bunch of women.
It wasn't until I was 18 that I really saw the reality of polygamy and the pure ugliness of it all. The more I woke up, the worse things looked and believe me, it was looking really really bad. My thing was this, if God wanted us to be happy, why would he allow something bad happen to us? Why would he allow the abuse, the marrying of young girls to old men and why would he allow such young girls to have their childhood stolen from them by allowing the old men to get them pregnant after marrying them? I'm not saying that I don't believe in God because I do. I just don't believe in the same god they did, and I slowly started to see that the whole "this is the only true church" was nothing more than a lie. A whole lot of my cousins and sisters got married to older men that had eight to ten wives and ended up getting pregnant right after they got married. They also were getting pregnant every single year, so it was like they were pregnant all the time. Like I said I was 18 when I started to wake up, but it wasn't until a few really bad things happened to me. I started to see past the fake smiles, and the fake happiness in my sisters and many others that were being courted and groomed. It was then that I realized that I had to get out, and I had to get out fast, but I'll save that for later too.
My name is Kaylee, and I am one of almost 72 kids between the 22 wives that my dad had. I'm 22 now and I am no longer in the order in any way, I ran away with the help from the last person I ever expected to help me. The order hides all of their indiscretions and their life style in plain sight, if you didn't know about it, you'd never know, it's hidden that good. Your next door neighbors could be polygamists and you'd never know it. The thing I realized after so many years, was that physical, sexual and mental abuse was a huge part of daily life. A guy that had many wives had so many wives and kids that they had to "rule with an iron fist" and that meant regular beatings and stuff. That's just one of many things the order did to control everyone, it was basically mind control. The highers, that's what we called the elders or leaders of the order, were constantly using religion and God to get what they wanted. Now imagine this for a minute, we literally married our own cousins and stuff, and the husbands beat us and tear us down verbally and physically all the time, would you think that it was normal? Well, to me, it was normal, even though that kind of stuff really isn't normal if that makes sense. The problem was that I waited so long that I almost got killed several times before I realized that it wasn't normal, that it was hell, a hell that no one should live through. After I left the order I should have lost everyone in my family, but I didn't loose anyone, and you'll see what I'm talking about later. The thing was that if you left the order, you were suppose to loose everything and everyone you ever knew, you were shunned and disowned by everyone, everyone including brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts and parents, you lost them all. My eyes were closed and I was completely oblivious to what the order was all about when I was young. My mom was the 19th of 22 wives to a guy who will remain nameless for two reasons. One, I DO NOT want him to get any notoriety because of me, he was a very sick and evil man. And two, I'll admit it, I was scared of him and I still am, you don't know what these people are capable of and those who have been in the order, know what I'm talking about. Those of us that have been there know exactly what they are capable of because we've lived through hell because of them.
You hear about all these people who only have a one parent home and how hard it is for them and their single moms or single dads. It wasn't difficult for me because I didn't see anything wrong with it, to me it was normal for the father to never be around, or at least not be around for long periods of time. That's the way it was for me growing up so I guess I was just use to only mom being around. She worked a job that the order gave her too, so between that and the fact that she had to raise 9 kids it made it difficult for her. No matter how hard she tried to hide it, I could still tell that she was not happy at all, she was miserable. I was the middle child of all of us, and there were six girls and three boys in my family. When my dad did come around, he was really mean and very abusive to me, my brothers and sisters and my mom. It was like living in hell when he was around, but again, I was use to it and thought that it was just the way fathers treated their families. Dad had a lot of kids, so he had to rule with an iron fist to keep us all in check. In the order, the only thing I can ever remember them teaching us is that we were to follow the words of our elders, or highers, and if we didn't, there were punishments that were given, some worse than others. We were taught to do exactly what the highers told us to do, and if we didn't we would be damned. If you were a boy, the punishments were a lot more severe for you because girls were far more valuable to the order than boys were because we could have kids.
Another thing that happened all the time in the order was incest between cousins, uncles and nieces and brothers and sisters. Some girls would be sharing their husbands with their own sisters too because some of the guys would marry all of the girls in one family. It was a very normal thing because they wanted to keep the family blood line clean, actually, family is all we were allowed to date and marry. As in, the men would marry their first cousins, nieces or half sisters and have sex with them, not to mention the fact that they would have a lot of babies. A perfect example of that is that my dad is my moms first cousin, she was 15 and he was 37 when they got married, and mom was 16 when she got pregnant with her first kid. I remember his brother pretty good because at some point, he ended up marrying one of my sisters and she was wife 11 for him. But after her, there was one person that he married that was not a member of the order when he met her. How that happened was pretty complicated so I'll try to explain it as best as I can, and I'll explain why I was kind of excited about it, and yes it had something to do with a cute boy, a really really really cute boy like, oh my god he was the cutest boy ever! My uncles wife number twelve was a really nice lady and she was really really in love with my uncle. Now I only know how they met because this lady was a bit of a celebrity in the order and she's told this story at one of our youth conferences. She was related to us by blood, she was my dads and uncles niece. Apparently my dad and uncle had a sister that ran away while she was pregnant with her. No one knew about her at all because their sister was completely erased from everything after she ran away, which is normal for the order, she was the third wife of one of my dads uncles. She was 14 and that uncle was 41 when she was raped, which actually happened all of the time in the order, and got pregnant with my "celebrity" cousin. All we know was shortly after she was raped and got pregnant, she ran away and no one ever heard from her again. My cousin, my dads niece was born outside of the order a few months after that. Girls are always sexually assaulted and molested, but we were always told that it was God punishing us for something that we did or didn't do. Anyway, I know all of that sounds really complicated, so bear with me.
Well, my cousin (dads niece) started talking about how her life was a mess and how she was seventeen when she went to Hawaii for spring break and ended up having sex with some "local" guy there. She got pregnant, and had a boy and it was 5 years after she had my second cousin Mason that she met my uncle. (Dads brother) She told us how she felt when she met her husband, and how he made everything so "perfect" for her and everything. So she started to date him, and after a while, she ended up joining the order, she was welcomed because she was a member of our family, she was blood related. That just meant that her uncle could get her pregnant and never have to worry about tainting the bloodline. So that's where the cutest boy in the world comes in, he was the son of my cousin, and that's the background. There were so so many girls that liked my second cousin because he was, how do I say this..he was the best looking boy in town like, oh my god, OH MY GOD! Many of the other boys and even older men knew that he was the cutest most handsome guy in the order and saw him as a major threat because of that. There were a lot of girls like my cousins and sisters that tried to court him. All of them begged for him to be put on their list of potential husbands, and I won't lie, I did too. I was hoping so bad that Mason was on my list because I really liked him, he was by far the cutest boy that any girl had ever seen, he was the cutest cousin of all of them! I know that I wasn't the only one who thought that because all of the girls that knew him, or knew about him talked about him all the time. He had a line that was like, a mile long of girls that wanted to dance with him at the order dances, I know because I was one of those girls that was in that line. So as you can imagine, I had so so much competition, I did get to dance with him a lot too, yay me! But the best part was that he would always dance with me four or five times every time and only once with other girls!
I knew him already for obvious reasons, he was my cousin, but I liked him A LOT, and I mean a lot. I would day dream about him all the time and I would always imagine him kissing me on my lips. The problem was that he was 16 and I was 12, so there was an age issue there. He was so cute that I heard my aunts talk about how handsome he was all the time, I even heard one say that they wished that they were his age. They liked him so much that all of them put him on their daughters lists. It was because of that that he was going on date after date after date, and I wasn't hearing very many good things about him. He was always really nice and very respectful, but he was never all there. He would always tell his dates that he was only on a date with them because he was being forced to do it, he didn't have a choice. The thing was that the dates always seemed boring or at least they would be boring for him. He was only allowed to take his cousins out to dinner and walk around a park, and that was it. The good part of all that was none of my other cousins and sisters from other moms wanted to go on a second date with him because of it. They all said that he was a really really nice guy and every thing but he just wasn't into any of the girls. They say that he was like, a million times cuter up close. They all swooned over him, they all melted around him and they were really nervous around him. He was so handsome and so cute that he actually scared some of the girls, he was that cute! He was such a good looking guy that everyone tried all they could to win him over, but it wasn't working at all. Moms started to doll their daughters up like crazy to get him to be attracted to them, but Mason wasn't biting at all. It was getting to the point that there were no more girls left for him to choose from, or at least girls his age or close to his age, so they started to send him on dates with girls that were way too young for him.
Again he was sixteen, but his mom and dad, and my aunts and uncles started to set him up with 12, 13, and 14 year old girls and all that did was just make things worse for the girls. I liked him because he was such a handsome and cute guy, but I was starting to think that my chances of him liking me were pretty bad now. I was beginning to think that he was never going to be on the list of guys that the highers in the order wanted me to court and marry and it was making me sad. If he wasn't on the list of guys that the order chose for me then there was no way that I could date him, it would be forbidden. We courted and married guys that we were told to court and marry and that was it, no one else, so if Mason wasn't on my list, I would have no choice but to forget about him. I did get to find out more about him than any of the other girls because my 11 year old, yes I said 11 year old sister Janell who I was really really close with got to go on a date with him. The story was the same, he was polite, he was sweet, he was respectful, he was thee biggest gentleman ever and he was funny, but he just wasn't into her at all and he told her that it was because she was way too young for him. He wanted to have fun on his dates and none of the moms wanted him to do anything fun with their daughters. Like I said, he was only allowed to go to dinner and the park and that was it. But a lot of our aunts started to allow him to keep the girls out till midnight after a while. He did make it known that he was only on a date with the girls because he had to be, not because he wanted to be. I found out that his full name was Mason James McCarthy, he still had his moms maiden name. The morning of my 14th birthday, I woke up and found a little pink book sitting on my night stand that was about as big as a playing card.
Since I was 14 now, I had developed a lot, so I looked a little different than I did when I was 11 or 12. I wasn't all that tall, I was 4'9 then, I have full lips, really long light blonde hair, actually, it's a natural platinum blonde, it was so blonde that it was almost white, I love my hair. I have big blue eyes, naturally long eye lashes and I have pale white skin, I was so white that my skin was almost transparent. In the FLDS the girls weren't allowed to wear anything that exposed anything but their necks, face and hands. Girls were to wear dresses all the time, and they were ugly as hell. They went from their necks to their ankles and all the way to their wrists, that was the normal dress code for girls, and they were all hand made at their houses. They weren't allowed to wear make up or cut their hair, and they weren't allowed to because they did not want the girls to be attractive at all. Luckily for me, my mom, and my sisters we weren't FLDS members, we were in the order so we lived in a city with outsiders. I was glad because I went to school and stuff, but I still had to worry about being pulled out of school at a young age to be groomed and trained to be a baby bearing wife. I also loved that I was able to wear basically what I wanted and I got to wear make up, but I wasn't allowed to wear anything that showed any of my assets, like my boobs or anything like that. The reason I was allowed to wear regular clothes was because we had to blend in with everyone around, remember, we were hiding in plain sight. I still didn't cut my hair that much so it was still really long, it went all the way to my butt.
After I got dressed and ready for school, I looked at the pink little book that someone left on my night stand, I have to be honest, I didn't want to look in that book. I knew what it was, it was a list of boys and old men that I was suppose to date, the only ones I was suppose to date. I was dreading it, but at the same time I was curious to see who was in there. So I opened it and found a note from my parents that read:
Happy birthday Kaylee! You have reached the golden age, the age in which you are now ready for courtship and marriage to one of gods chosen men! You have entered gods age! This is the time that you are now blessed to marry and bring more children into the order and help in the building of gods kingdom!
Congratulations, we can't tell you how proud we are of you and for how much you have grown! In the following pages you'll see a list of men that God has selected for your courtship. As you move into this blessed time, remember to trust your highers, trust those who are wise and who will lead you to the kingdom of heaven.
Mom and dad.
When I finished reading that, I couldn't believe how awkward I felt, I felt weird and I had no idea why. But I went ahead and looked at the names in the book starting with the third page, and yes, some of them were my cousins, and some were my older 30 to 50 year old uncles. Gross, I thought while I read those names. But there was one name that caught my attention like, really really fast, and when I saw it, I got really really excited! The name was, Mason James McCarthy! You have no idea how excited I got when I saw his name on the list of "chosen men". I was extremely excited, so excited that I picked up my pillow, covered my mouth and started to jump around my room and screamed into my pillow! I had to calm down, I had to because I didn't want anyone to know how excited I was that of all the boys out there, Mason was on the list! But it gets better, he was number one on that list! Oh my god you have no idea how excited I was. There were a few problems though. One, he just turned 18 a week before I turned 14, two, he was a senior in high school, and three, I knew how his dates always turned out. I didn't care, I was just happy that he was number one on the list! The cutest boy in the world, my first ever crush was the first guy on the list! So I went to school with a smile on my face, especially since I was a freshman in the same high school as Mason was in, he was a senior. For some reason, I could not stop smiling when ever I saw him, and for the first time ever, he smiled back at me and waved. I melted when he did that, oh my god he waved at me, I thought while he walked away.
"How did you do that?!" My sister named Rina asked.
"What?" I asked.
"He smiled and waved at you. He never did that to any of the other girls he's gone on dates with." She said.
"He hasn't?" I asked.
"No, he hasn't, ever, you're the only one." She said.
"Wait, how did you do that?" My bestie/sister Janell asked.
"I don't know! He just smiled at me and waved, why is that such a big deal to everyone?" I asked while more of my sisters, from other moms, came up to me.
"Because, he's never looked at any of us the way he does you, I think he actually likes you." Rina said while the other girls all started saying the same thing.
"It's not that big of a deal you guys, it really isn't." I said.
"Yes it is, he's been going on dates since he was 16, and he's been going on dates with a different girl every weekend since then. You're the only one that he seems interested in." Janell said.
"I don't know what to say guys, I don't think that's really all that huge." I said.
We went through that day and I tried to not read into it all that much. I didn't want to because I knew how all of the dates that Mason went on, went. Nothing ever happened with him and the girls because he wanted to be the one to make his own choice on who he wanted to court, at least that's what I figured. I was so excited because like we always did, we had an order dance that night. We had dances twice a month every month in the order, and that was so that the guys that went, could basically look at what his options were. There were even older guys there that were even older than my major major crush, Mason, was. Those dances were the first step in our courtship. I was a popular girl and I didn't really know why, I guess guys like small tiny little blondes like me, but I wasn't into any of them. I started going when I was 12 and I always liked going because they were actually kinda fun and I always got to dance with the cutest guy ever more than any of the other girls there. So that night I went to the dance hoping that I'd see Mason, but he didn't go to the dance. I was kinda bummed, I wanted to see him and I wanted to dance with him, he was the one I liked. I mean, there were some cute guys there, but Mason was the cutest of them all. But, I did get to see him that next Saturday because me, all of my cousins, brothers and sisters, my dad and all of his wives, his brother, Mason's step dad and Mason and everyone else all went to the park. They were throwing me and quite a few of my sisters, a birthday party. But the party was also to congratulate us for entering into "the golden age" as my parents put it. There were so many people there that it was almost ridiculous, but it was really cool too. What surprised me was that Mason, my biggest crush I ever had, came up to me.
"Happy birthday Kaylee." He said quietly with his booming deep voice.
"Thank you." I stammered, I couldn't believe that he was talking to me.
"Is it ok if I hug you?" He asked.
"Yes, it's perfectly ok, you're my cousin why wouldn't it be?" I asked trying to hide the fact that I was like, dying inside, but in a really good way.
Oh my god he was sssssooooo so amazingly handsome and really really really cute!! He was really tall now, he was way taller than he was when he was 16, he was 6'10. He had light brown hair, and he had these really cool natural red streaks and highlights in his hair. His eyes were huge and they were thee brightest most beautiful green eyes I had ever seen and no he wasn't wearing contacts. He was HUGE! He played sports, basketball football, soccer, he ran track, he played baseball and everything. He has a nick name, Tree, and it was because of his size. Again, he wasn't fat at all, and over the years he kept working out so he was incredibly athletic and really ripped. So between that and his height, his really broad shoulders, and the fact that he was big boned, they say that he was built like a redwood tree trunk, so they called him tree, sometimes trunk. Now, I feel dirty for saying this, but he had a really really hot and nice body, and trust me, I'm not the only one who thought that, there were a lot of us that stared and drooled when he took his shirt off and I swear to god, he had no body fat at all. And now, tree was hugging me, he..was..hugging..me, yeah, I got all light headed I won't lie. After he hugged me, he hung out with me for a little while, oh my god his smile, I thought, I could not stop looking at him!
He was the sweetest guy ever, and he was so tall that when he hugged me, I don't think my head even touched his chest. I felt so warm and so amazing when his arms brushed against mine, and the way he kept smiling at me and looking in my eyes, god! He hung out with me for a couple of hours, and I noticed something because I tested him. I would walk away and when I did, he would either stay where he was and wait for me to go back to him, he would follow me, or he would come find me! I was literally screaming inside I was so excited about that! So when he did that, I didn't want to be away from him again so when he walked off, I went looking for him and when I found him, he would smile and look in my eyes. I really hated that he worked for his step dad on a construction site because he had to go to work. He asked me if I wanted to walk him to his car and I said yes, of course in my head I was thinking, "hell yes I wanna walk you to your car, are you freaking kidding me?!" While we walked to his car, I couldn't help but touch him, I had too because there was this really awesome connection between us, there were some major major sparks. I hugged him again and told him to be careful, then while I walked off, I slid my hand down his amazing muscly arm and pulled on his hand by his fingers while I looked in his gorgeous eyes. That was it for me when it came to Mason, I really really liked him a lot like, a lot a lot! It hadn't even been a week since my 14th birthday, and it hadn't even been a week since I got my list and I already knew who I wanted to be with, I wanted to be with Mason, I didn't even care that he was 18 and I was 14 anymore. If I was going to be with a guy that was chosen for me, it was Mason for sure, my mind was already made up.
The thing was that I didn't go on a date with him for a long time, instead, mom kept sending me on dates with other guys from the list. I even went on dates with a couple of my uncles, and that was just really gross. Mason, or "tree" was actually talking to me all the time and he and I became really really good friends. We hung out at school all the time and he even came to my house to help me with my homework a lot. When he did that, we would go in the basement and watch movies together, but once we knew we were alone, he would actually cuddle with me, I was in heaven every time! Oh my god I liked him sssssooo so much! And after a little while, he actually became my best friend, he was by far the best friend I had ever had in my life! He was funny, he made me laugh all the time and we started doing absolutely everything together, everything except using the bathroom. I could trust him with anything in the world, because dad wanted me to go on date with this fifty year old guy and I didn't want to. The last time I complained about going on a date with someone I didn't want to go on a date with, I got yelled at, I got beaten and molested by dad or the guy I went on the forced date with. Which the molesting happened every time I went on dates with any of the guys before, I was even raped a couple of times. It didn't matter who I complained to, dad would somehow find out about it. Mason was thee only one who would never say anything. I told Mason about how I didn't wanna go on that date, or how I didn't want to have the guys I courted to be chosen for me anymore. After I told Mason, no one ever found out about it, ever. After that, I could tell him anything I wanted, I could talk about kissing, I could talk about anything I wanted to talk about and Mason never, ever said anything to anyone about anything I ever said. In fact, he agreed with me! He hated that he had girls being chosen for him, he was my best best friend!
I had one really big problem though, I was falling in love with him, and I was falling really really hard! It started to get to where he was all I could think about and sometimes it made me feel sick. Every time I closed my eyes all I could think about was him, I could feel his arms around me and I could smell him and everything. It even got to where I talked about him all of the time. And the more time passed, the more I fell in love with him I mean, I was getting really obsessed. I started to really hate the fact that he went on dates every weekend because I was getting really really jealous. I cried so many times because he was going on dates with different girls and I was afraid that he was going to find someone that he would fall in love with. I wanted to be with him, I wanted to be the one he fell in love with. Of course I didn't know that I was in love with him until mom came in my room and found me bawling my eyes out because he was going on a date with some other girl. She asked me why I was crying and I told her after she begged me to tell her what was wrong, and that's when I found out that I was in love with him. I think he started to see the look in my eyes when he told me about the dates. He saw the pain and hurt that it was making me feel so he stopped talking about his forced dates, which is good since I didn't want to hear about them anymore anyway, I even stopped telling him about my dates. I was in love with him so it felt like we were cheating on each other even though we weren't courting at all. It was so crazy to me because I'd never been in love before but at the same time, I loved how it felt!
Nine months after Mason and I became best friends and after I realized that I was in love with him, mom had me take the longest bath with some really expensive soap and stuff. When I got all cleaned up and dressed she told me to leave my hair alone and not to wear any make up at all. She just had me pull my hair back in a pony tail. When I was ready, she took me to the salon and I thought it was because she was just being nice. I didn't know that she had other plans for me. But she had them do my hair up all really nice and fancy, and had them do my make up for me. Then she took me to get my nails done before she took me home and had me get dressed in a black tank top and a pair of really short shorts. The shorts were really tight and I could feel my butt cheeks kinda poking out of them, and they rode really low, so a little bit of my tummy showed from my waist band to my tank top. You couldn't see my belly button cause my shirt covered that. She had me wear a really really cute pink belt that went with the whole outfit. The tank top she made me wear was kind of tight and it showed my bra straps and my boobs a little. Girls weren't suppose to wear stuff that showed as much cleavage as my tank top was showing, and because I had big b cup boobs, I had some serious cleavage showing. I know a b cup isn't all that big, but I was still only like, 4'11 and I was really tiny, so my boobs were pretty big for a girl my size. Mom made me wear that, she even pulled on my top so that it showed my bra and cleavage really good, but not to where I looked like a slut.
"Mom, can I ask you something?" I asked.
"Yes you can hun, while you're asking me, hold your bra and lift your boobs so they sit in your bra better." She said.
"Ok, you know I'm not suppose to wear anything like this right? The order would be so so mad." I said while I adjusted my boobs, and when they were comfortable, I noticed that my really really white cleavage showed way way better.
"Yes I know it goes against the orders teachings." Mom said.
"Why are you letting me wear this?" I asked.
"Is it not comfortable?" She asked.
"No it is comfortable and I really like how I look." I said.
"So what's the problem?" She asked.
"I'm not suppose to wear anything like this mom, my boobs are showing like, they're all out here like this, and my tummy is kinda showing." I said.
"I know." She said.
"There has to be a reason why you're letting me dress like this." I said.
"Close your door." She said with a smile making me go close my door.
"This has to stay between us ok?" Mom asked.
"Ok." I said.
"Promise me." She said.
"I promise that this will be our secret." I said.
"It's because the boy that you're going out with tonight is my favorite of all of the ones on your list. He's funny, he's a really great guy, and he's incredibly handsome, I could go on and on, but that'll just ruin the surprise. I want you to wear this because I really want him to get really attracted to you, I want him to be so attracted to you that he just has to choose you or he'll regret not doing so. I think he's perfect for you." Mom said.
"You liked all the guys you made me date already mom." I said.
"Not like I like this one." Mom said.
"Mom, I don't want some random guy to see me like this, I'm not suppose to be this attractive at all." I said.
"I know that it's wrong and against everything the order teaches, and yes I know that I can get into so much trouble." Mom said.
"I'm not sure that I wanna do this mom." I said.
"Just trust me on this, I need you to trust me." She said.
"I'll be so mad if he tries anything mom, I swear that I'll never talk to you again if he does." I said.
"Just trust me." Mom said with a smile.
"Ok, whatever." I said while she adjusted my shirt and bra making my boobs look way way good.
I won't lie, I felt really sexy when I looked in the mirror, I'd never seen myself look that hot before in my life and I never knew that I could look that good at all, I actually loved how my boobs looked! I even loved that you could see the top part of my bra a little, and I loved that my tummy kinda peeked out a little. I didn't want mom to know that I actually loved how I looked so I had to hide it. When I was done she had me put my black and pink cowgirl boots and cowgirl hat on and wait in the living room, I looked way hot and I loved it. I knew that I was going on a date and I was kinda dreading it because I was expecting another uncle or some one else. Why would mom make me wear clothes like that, she never let me wear anything like that before, well, I guess she answered that already huh. She must have gone shopping for that outfit while I was in school. I was not looking forward to having some old guy perving on me at all, in fact I felt sick about it. I didn't complain about it because I didn't wanna get in trouble, so I had no choice but to just go with it. But when the door bell rang and mom let my date in, I froze. IT WAS MASON! I don't think you'll ever ever understand how excited and happy I was when he walked into the living room. He's so tall that he had to bend down so he wouldn't hit his head!
"MASON?!" I asked while I smiled.
"Hey Kaylee." He said with the worlds most beautiful smile.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"We are going on a date." He said making me get like, oh my god I was so excited!!
"Really?!" I asked.
"Yep." He said while I looked at my mom.
"Told you to trust me." Mom said.
"Yay! Mom! Thank you!" I said while I ran and jumped up to her and hugged her.
"You're welcome hun, but you need to thank him because he wanted to go on this date, he asked me if he could take you out tonight." Mom said making me let go of her and walk up to him.
"Really?" I asked while looked at my incredibly handsome date.
"It's true." He said.
"This is like, the best day ever." I said while I wrapped my arms around Mason and looked at mom.
"Now, the rule is to have her back by ten." Mom said.
"Yes mam." Mason said while I floated in the clouds.
"Well, we're going to bend that rule a little. Let's see, it's six thirty now, so you have five and a half hours left, have her home by midnight instead of ten." Mom said making me even more excited, I wasn't sure I could handle much more excitement!
"Yes mam." Mason said.
"Come with me for a second, I have some sweet nothings to whisper to you." Mom said while she took my hand and led me out of the room.
"Now listen to me, I wanna hear everything about your date with this handsome guy, and don't hesitate to try kissing him because I think he likes you more than just a friend." Mom said making me float even higher.
"I'm so so excited, he's the cutest boy ever!" I said.
"And he's your best friend, so you already have a huge advantage over any and all of the other girls including your sisters and cousins." Mom said.
"I know!" I said before she took me out to my date.
"Well, you two get going and have fun, don't forget, midnight, not ten." Mom said.
"Yes mam." He said.
I couldn't believe it, I was going on a real date with Mason, my best friend in the whole world, and my biggest crush ever! I was so so excited and I was actually looking forward to that date! We went out to his car and he opened the door for me and I got in his car before he closed my door and got in.
"I'm just going to say this, you look really really beautiful, I mean, you always look beautiful so I guess that's not anything new, but tonight you look extra beautiful and you look kinda hot." He said nervously while he looked at me.
"Thanks, you always look really handsome and cute." I said with the biggest smile.
"Thanks, you're blushing really bad." He said while he started driving.
"Well yeah, you just told me that I look beautiful and hot." I said.
"You do, you always have." He said.
He took me to dinner, and since we had like 4 hours left, I decided to do what none of the other girls did. I wanted him to have fun, so we went to a mini golf course and played mini golf. I had an absolute blast and I could tell that he was having a lot of fun. He was such a gentleman and he was hilarious, I had never laughed as hard as I did that night. He made me laugh so hard that my stomach hurt, he made me laugh so hard that he made me spit my drink out so many times. I even laughed so hard that I almost passed out. I was having the best time ever and I didn't want it to end. We started to goof around and shove each other and laugh, then we decided to make a game out of our game. We decided to see who could distract who the worst, and it was his turn first. He started talking a lot of trash and started to make me laugh again, and by the time I got my ball in the hole, I had tried almost ten times, so he won the first round. Then it was my turn, but I was so busy watching him move and everything that I had a hard time concentrating on anything, he won that round too. Then when we went to the next hole, he started to tell me how beautiful I was and that he felt lucky that he was actually on a date with me. Yeah, he won that round too, I mean, he really made me feel really good, and when I looked at him and saw the look in his eyes, you talk about amazing and massive sparks!
He didn't look at me like he wanted to have sex with me like all of my other dates, nor did he even look at my boobs all that much. I actually liked it when he looked at them though, and trust me, he did a few or more times, it made me feel really sexy. Even though he looked at my boobs, I still saw something different in his eyes. He had the warmest smile ever and I felt these amazing butterflies and chills. I kinda felt numb and I don't know. I felt that way about him since my birthday party, but this was way way way stronger than then. I already knew that I was madly in love with him and had been for the last couple of months. But when he looked at me the way he did, it took everything that I had to not tell him that I was in love with him. Obviously, he won that round because I felt warm all over and I couldn't see that good. I couldn't stop smiling and looking at him and while I kept trying to get the ball in the hole, the biggest urge came over me like, it hit me so hard that I started to shake. I wanted to kiss him on his lips. When I finally got the ball in through the obstacles and in the hole, I just walked up to him and put my hand on his tummy while I looked up into his amazing eyes and smiled.
"God you're so beautiful." He said softly while he put his hand on my tummy and slid his hand across it while he went and got his gold club.
I can't even begin to explain what happened to me when we touched each other like that. Electricity is the best I can do, it felt electric, and the sparks between us were ridiculous, but in an amazing way.
"Thanks." I said while he grabbed his club.
"It's your turn." He said while he put his hand on my back very gently.
We made it to the next hole, he put his ball down, and while I watched this amazingly handsome and gorgeous man, the urge to tell him how I really felt about him just kind of took over.
"Mason, can I tell you something?" I asked while he got ready to putt.
"Yes." He said while he looked up at me.
"Ok, so um, I have to say this. You know how we've been best friends for the longest time and all?" I asked while he stopped and gave me all of his attention.
"Yeah." He said while he gave me the biggest chills.
"That and we get along really really good." I said.
"I think we know each other better than we know ourselves." He said.
"We do everything together." I said.
"And I love that." He said.
"Well, you know that I like you more than just a friend right?" I asked.
"I feel the same way about you, that's why I wanted to go on this date with you." He said making my feelings for him get so strong that I couldn't breath.
"Well, it's not just that I like you that way." I said.
"It's not?" He asked with a look on his face that made my confidence like, a million times better.
"No, it's not. I know I'm only 14 and you're 18 and all, but somewhere during the time we've been best friends I kinda like, I uuum, I kinda fell in love with you." I said nervously while I looked down and brushed my hair out of my eyes.
When I looked up again, Mason was standing right there, and he was really close, and he had that gorgeous smile of his on his face. His eyes were sparkling and he was looking kinda like he was breathing kinda hard.
"You're not just saying that because you wanna win are you." He asked while his eyes moved from side to side while he looked into mine.
"No Mason, I am in love with you." I said while my body started to shake.
"I'm in love with you too, I've been in love with you for several months now." He said while he lifted my head gently with his finger under my chin.
The next thing I knew was that the sparks between us literally blinded me for a second. All I knew was that he closed his eyes and all of a sudden, I felt his soft lips touch my lower lip. Oh my god oh my god oh my god he's kissing me, I thought while he held that soft tender kiss for a few long seconds before he broke away and kissed my upper lip, then my bottom lip again. I literally couldn't breath like, at all! He shot me to the moon, that's the only way I know how to describe what I was feeling. I opened my eyes after a few more seconds to see him standing there with a look of panic in his eyes.
"I am so so sorry, that was too soon, I'm sorry." He said with the saddest look in his eyes, like he did something terrible.
What he didn't know was that I LOVED THAT HE KISSED ME, OH, MY, GOD! I wasn't mad and I wasn't scared, I was in heaven, I died and went to heaven! The cutest, most handsome, most amazing looking boy I had ever seen in my life, my best friend just told me that he was in love with me like I was in love with him, and he kissed me! He started to back away and he looked so so scared and sad.
"Mason, stop, it's ok." I said while I grabbed his arm to stop him.
"That was too soon I know, I should have asked you before I did that. I'm so sorry if I scared you, I don't want you to hate me, you're my best friend and I don't want to loo..." He said, but I interrupted him.
"I loved it Mason, I loved it." I said while I stepped up to him.
"You did?" He asked while relief replaced his panic.
"Yes I did, I'm sorry that I stood here like a zombie, you made me feel like I was in heaven." I said.
"Oh my god, thank god." He said while he sighed.
"Can you like, kiss me again, please? I asked while I pulled on his shirt.
"You're biting your lip." He said while he started to caress the side of my face.
"Because I want you to kiss me again." I said.
The second he closed his eyes, I closed mine and opened my mouth a little, only this time when he kissed me, I kissed him back. We kissed twice before I opened my mouth a little and licked his top lip, and before I knew it, I was slowly and gently sliding my tongue into his mouth. My whole body shuddered and I dropped my golf club before I wrapped my arms around his neck and turned my head because when I pulled my tongue back in my own mouth, his tongue went into my mouth. When we ended that kiss, my lower lip was between his and we were both breathing kinda hard. I instantly became addicted to the way he tasted and the way he made me feel. We kissed again, only we didn't just put our tongues in each other's mouths, we twisted them together and lovingly licked the insides of each other's mouths. I heard that first kisses were always awkward at first, but somehow me and Mason seemed to have a perfect slow rhythm, and he had ever kissed before, I had, but I was forced to do it. Tasting him and hearing the smacking noises we made while we kissed over and over again started to make my body tingle all over, I didn't even realize that he picked me up. All I know was that we were kissing over and over and over again while I rubbed the back of his head, his neck and his face. It was like everything and everyone disappeared and we were the only two in the world, like we were the only two that existed. O...M...G he was a way way better kisser than my uncles were like, a billion times better! We kissed for like, the longest time and I really didn't want to stop, but we had to. We stopped kissing and I rested my head against his with my eyes closed, and after another few second, I opened my eyes and smiled so big, I had no idea that I could smile like that.
"I love you." He said making me start crying.
"I love you too, I don't think you know how happy I am right now." I said.
"I think I kinda do, you're crying." He said making me laugh.
"I love you Mason." I said with my arms around his neck and my head against his.
"I love you Kaylee." He said.
"I think you pretty much won the game." He said while he smiled.
"Oh no, no I didn't, I wasn't trying to distract you and we have a long ways to go. I may be loosing right now, but now that we know we are in love with each other and stuff, watch out because it'll be easier to distract you now." I said while he put me down.
"Are you sure about that?" He asked while he put me down.
"No, I'm not actually." I said with a laugh before I looked straight up and pushed my body against his.
It was like he couldn't resist no matter how hard he tried because he leaned down and kissed me again. When he kissed me this time, I opened my mouth and slid my tongue in his mouth first and we started to twist and slide our tongues together slowly. He started to take my breath away when he did, so I lifted my arms and put my hand on his neck. This time we licked each other's mouths for like, the longest time. I could feel my long blonde hair brushing against my butt while our heads moved while we kissed. I was so light headed and I felt so so amazing that I just didn't wanna stop kissing, god I loved how he tasted! I loved how his tongue felt in my mouth and against my tongue, how his lips felt against mine, and how his body felt against mine.
"God I love how you kiss, you're such an amazing, amazing kisser." I whispered after we stopped kissing.
"So are you, you know what this means right?" He asked while I opened my eyes.
"What?" I asked while I started smiling.
"We're courting now." He said making me so happy that I couldn't even think, I had never been that happy in my life.
"Perfect day, perfect date, perfect guy, this is a perfect night, I don't want it to end." I said while I started crying again.
"Neither do I, I have the perfect girl, you're so beautiful." He said while he wiped my tears.
"I'm so happy." I said.
"Good, I love making you happy because I absolutely love your smile." He said before he kissed me again.
After we stopped kissing, I took his hand and slid my fingers between his massive fingers. I pulled myself against him and picked up my golf club. After that, the game was pretty much over because we could not stop kissing no matter how much we tried. It's probably a good thing that there weren't many people there because it took us forever to get through that whole thing, that's how much we kissed. After that, he and I went to the go cart track and raced each other and a bunch of other people. Then we went to the movies together, and that's when I knew that we would be kissing a lot, and believe me, I was excited about that because Mason was that good of a kisser, he was incredible! When we got in the theater, I was holding his hand and I watched him lift an arm rest so we could cuddle while we watched the movie. We sat down and I laid against my boyfriend, god I was so so happy! After a few minutes, he got up and kissed me before he went to get us some drinks, I kinda wanted one because I was thirsty and because I knew that I was going to be kissing him a lot. While I sat there waiting for my boyfriend, one of my cousins walked up and sat next to me, she went on a date with Mason too, her name was Lindy.
"Kaylee, you look really cute!" She said.
"I didn't chose this outfit, mom did." I said.
"I know, my mom and I helped her pick it out, you look really really cute. Your boobs look great in that shirt." She said.
"Thanks." I said while I laughed.
"So is that Mason?" She asked.
"Yep." I said with the worlds biggest smile.
"Are you serious?" She asked.
"Yeah, he's gorgeous isn't he?" I asked.
"How the hell did you get him to hold your hand?!" She asked with excitement.
"We've been best friends for a long time, that and I have been in love with him for a while." I said.
"Is he in love with you too?" She asked.
"Yes he is, he's been in love with me for the last few months, he told me." I gushed because I was so happy.
"Oh my god you are ssssoooo so glowing, look at you! Are you guys courting now?" She asked making me smile so big that it hurt.
"Oh my god you are! Oh my god I'm so happy for you!" She all but squealed quietly before she hugged me.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Well duh, you're glowing like crazy, we've known each other all of our lives and I've never seen you this happy before, so how long have you been courting?" She asked.
"We started courting tonight." I said.
"Aaaawwwwww! I'm so so happy for you oh my god!" She said.
"So am I, he's so so amazing." I said.
"Aaaaawwww! Has he kissed you?" She asked making me smile even bigger.
"Oh my god he has, how was it?" She asked.
"Amazing." I said.
"Is he a good kisser?" She asked.
"Yeah he is, he's a really really good kisser." I said.
"Oh my god so so many girls are going to be so jealous of you Kaylee, I'm jealous. He went on so many dates that it's not funny and you go on one date with your best friend and walah, you two are courting. So what number was he on your list?" She asked.
"Number one." I said with excitement.
"Well, there's your boyfriend now, you are the luckiest girl ever I swear. Of all the girls he's been out with, the tree chose you. I can't tell you how happy I am for you." She said making me cry a little.
"Thank you." I said.
"I better get back to my date, boo." She said.
"Hey Lindy." Mason said while he walked up to us.
"Hey Tree, how are you?" She asked making my Mason smile so big.
"I'm great actually." He said with that amazing smile.
"Congratulations on your new courtship, I'm seriously happy for you two, you guys look disgustingly cute together." She said.
"Thank you." We both said.
"I'm serious, you guys are an amazingly gorgeous couple. I have to go back to my date so you guys have fun. Try to watch some of the movie." She said.
"It's going to be difficult." I said with a giggle.
"Well, I don't blame you at all, have fun girl." She said while she hugged me.
After she went back to her date, my boyfriend sat back down and kissed me. After we stopped kissing, I laid against him and he put one arm around me and slid his big fingers between mine, and I slid my fingers on my other hand between his fingers of his other hand. I could not believe how in love I was with him, it's like he consumed me in every way! When the movie started, I looked up at him and watched him, I was beside myself and I almost couldn't believe that my best friend was actually my boyfriend! We were finally courting! I reached up and kissed his chin and couldn't stop kissing his gorgeous manly face. I let go of his hand and l lifted myself up and kissed his face closer and closer to his mouth. I kissed the corner of his mouth, but then I felt him turn his head and slowly slide his tongue in my mouth. I was gone after that. I was almost looking straight up while he and I kissed over and over and over and over again. I was in heaven! We ended up kissing through most if not all of that movie, god it was so so amazing, I think we were pretty much making out the whole time!
After the movie, we went and got ice cream and we kissed at every single stop light and stop sign. When we got to the ice cream shop we sat in his car and kissed for the longest time, and when we stopped kissing, he took me in and we got our ice cream. We talked about us, we talked about what our future might be like together. Then he said something that made me fall even deeper in love with him, but it also made me know that I wanted to be his first wife for sure. I told him that if we ever got married, that I wanted to finish high school and I wanted to go to college. Girls were never allowed to go to college and have a career in the order, all we were allowed to do was get married and have babies, only work the jobs that the order gave us, cook, clean and raise our kids and that's it. But Mason looked at me and said that he would let me go to school. He said that he would let me go to college and if we were married, he would work to support me and help with school tuition. He said that no matter what I did, he was going to be unlike any of the men in the order, he promised himself that he would never be like them! He also told me that if he married other women that he would get in trouble because they'd only see him on their wedding day and that was it. He said that they'd never have kids with him either, and when I asked him why, he said something that made me fall so so hard for him that I almost started crying. He said that he only wanted me, he only wanted to be with me and that was it. The other wives he would marry wouldn't be me so they'd never see him again because he'd come right back to me.
He said that he would only marry other wives just so we could stay in the order and be with our families, no other reason at all. But then he said that what he would really want to do, is take me and run away with me. He would marry me and when I graduated from high school, he would take me and run away so he didn't have to even worry about having to be with another woman. He'd get a good job and help me pay for college and let me have a career, a career that I wanted to have. I would get to do what ever I wanted and he wouldn't care what the order thought. That goes COMPLETELY against everything the order teaches I know, but I don't think you will ever understand how deeply and how hard I fell for Mason after he said all of that. I mean, I was already like, madly in love with him, but after that conversation, I don't know, I didn't think it was even close to being possible to fall as deeply in love with a guy as I fell for him that night. He would risk everything just so he could be with me and me alone. I heard every word he said, but I knew, I knew for a fact that he meant every word he said because I could feel it. I knew right then and there that he was the one, he was most definitely going to be my husband!
I couldn't get any closer to him if I wanted when we got done eating ice cream, I mean, I had to feel him against me at all times. My skin kinda burned, that's how bad I needed to be against him in some way. When we walked to his car, I was all over him, I could not break away from him no matter how hard I tried. When we got to his car, he kinda turned me so I was facing him, pushed me against his car gently and slid his tasty tongue in my mouth and kissed me. I don't know what came over me, all I know was that the world was spinning and I was pretty much gone. I pulled him against me and stood on my toes and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. It was the most passionate, gentle kiss of the whole night. He kissed me like he loved me, like he loved me more than anything else in the world. I couldn't help but pull his body against mine and hold onto him while we kissed so so many times. After a long time and many amazing kisses, we stopped and stood there so we could catch our breaths. Then he opened my door for me and I got in, then he got in and kissed me again before he started to drive me home. And like before, he would kiss me, and I would kiss him at every single stop light and stop sign. I was so so bummed when we got to my house because I didn't want to be without him, I already missed him really really bad. When we got to my door, I turned around so I could face him and looked up in his eyes right when he brushed my hair out of mine.
"Thank you for the best night of my life baby." He said while I backed against the house and pulled him against me.
"You're welcome, thank you for making me the happiest girl in the world." I said.
"Sleep sweet." He said.
"Dream of me baby." I said.
"I will keep dreaming of you." He said while he caressed my face and I caressed his.
"I'll keep dreaming of you too." I said.
"I can't believe that we are actually courting now." He said.
"Oh my god I know right?" I asked.
"I've wanted to court you for a long time." He said.
"Me too, I've wanted to court you for like, ever." I said.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.
"Look who's talking, you never told me either." I said with a giggle.
"We are best friends and we didn't want to ruin that." He said.
"Exactly. I guess we were both dumb because we both felt the same way about each other." I said.
"Yeah, we are pretty stupid for being scared." He said making me laugh.
"It's almost midnight, I really really really don't want you to go, I want you to stay here with me." I said.
"I don't wanna go home either, I want this to last longer." He said.
"I know." I said.
"I don't want to get you in trouble and I wanna see you again since you're my girlfriend now so I can't get us in trouble." He said.
"Call me when you get home." I said.
"I will, god you're so damn beautiful." He said.
"I love that you can't stop telling me that." I said with the worlds biggest smile.
"Good because you're going to hear it more often." He said.
He cradled the back of my head gently and and leaned down, then he pressed his soft lips against my lower lip while I put my hand on his face gently and kissed him back. This time I turned my head and slid my tongue in his mouth again, and we stood there kissing over and over again. After the longest time of the night just kissing, we finally stopped kissing and stood there trying to catch our breaths again. I rested my head against his body because I was shaking and my knees were so weak. I loved how I felt while I was in his arms, and I didn't want him to let me go.
"Better get inside so you don't get in trouble. Good night." He said.
"Good night." I said.
"Kaylee." He said while he leaned down and looked so deep in my eyes that I could feel his energy.
"Yes Mason." I said.
"I love you." He said making me start crying again.
"I love you Mason, I love you." I said.
He kissed me with no tongue, but it was the softest kiss ever, and he held it for a long time. After he kissed me he looked at me in my eyes.
"I love you, good night." He said.
"I love you too baby, don't forget to call me when you get home." I said.
After I kissed him, he put my cowgirl hat back on my head and I stood there and watched my very first real and true love walk away and get in his car and drive away. I floated into the house, went to my room and twirled around and just fell backwards on my bed with the biggest smile on my face and laid there for the longest time thinking about my boyfriend. I didn't even notice that mom was up and in my room.
"How did it go?" Mom asked snapping me back to reality.
I couldn't talk, I just sat up and looked at her and started crying.
"What happened?" Mom asked while she came to me and hugged me.
"I'm so so sorry baby, do you wanna talk about it?" She asked while I hugged her and cried.
"I miss him." I said while I cried.
"You what?" She asked.
"I miss Mason, I miss him." I said.
"You were just with him." Mom said.
"I know mom, but I'm ssssooo so in love with him." I said.
"You've been in love with him for a long time sweetheart." Mom said.
"I know." I said while I backed off and looked in her eyes.
"It's obvious sweetheart, you have been worshiping the ground he walks on for the last few months. You've been eating sleeping and breathing Tree, he's all you have been talking about. I see how you look at him, how you talk to him and touch him, it's hard to miss the fact that you've been in love with him all this time." Mom said.
"After tonight, it's so so much stronger mom, I love him, I wanna be with him forever." I said.
"Is he in love with you?" She asked.
I started crying again and nodded my head yes while I looked her in the eyes.
"Are you serious?!" Mom gasped while she got all kinds of excited making me nod my head yes.
"Did he tell you that he was in love with you?" She asked making me nod my head yes again.
"Oh my god! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yyyyyyeeeeessss!" Mom screamed while she jumped up as started to hop around the room.
"Mom, calm down, you're going to wake everyone else up." I said while I laughed.
