I've heard it's impossible to stop the flow of urine once it starts. That may be true. I know it can be slowed down greatly because I saw it happen.
When I looked out the door after Mary called me, it looked like Dino was spraying a garden hose with a sprayer nozzle on it. I could hear the bell like tones as the urine splattered against my frying pans. I let out a noise, something between a screech and a scream but the name Dino was mixed in there too. And it wasn't friendly.
It was funny to watch. One second, he was standing there, balanced on three legs, proud of himself, spraying my cookware. The next he was taking off like a shot, following his nose, still on three legs for the first fifteen feet or so. The steady stream dwindled to a few short spurts as he shot through the gate into the back yard.
Mary looked at me and I saw fear on her face. I didn't have anything specifically in mind for Dino but I was not thinking happy thoughts. Thoughts of dull knives and nothing for him to send urine through and putting the frying pan to new use passed through my mind but they didn't last. I love animals too much to ever really consider anything like that.
I went into the back yard and couldn't see him. Mary followed me in but I could see tell was being cautious the way she stayed back. I looked around some more and saw his nose sticking out next to the lawnmower shed. It was right on the ground so he had to be lying down flat. As soon as I started over toward him he scooted back.
Dino is a big dog. His mother is a collie and I heard that his father was a boxer. He's got the height of his mother and his father's bulk. He and Bozo went through their domination games when they first met and he's been the boss ever since. If he had a mind to, he could do serious damage to me with hardly any effort.
The back of the shed was up against the house and the side he was on was only a foot and a half from the retaining wall. He was stuck in there with nowhere to go. I went over to the end of the shed and looked over at him. He was as close to the ground as he could get except his hind end was up a little bit against the house. I could see the whites under his eyes as he looked up at me, shivering slightly.
It took a supreme effort for me not to laugh. In the gruffest voice I could come up with, I said, "DINO!"
He shivered a little more and I saw a little more white on the bottom of his eyes.
"What the HELL do you think you were doing? HUH???"
He looked at me and seemed to try and shove his back end through the house.
I pointed at the ground. "Get over here!"
He crawled up to where I was pointing, his belly still on the ground, moving one leg at a time as if he was afraid to be seen by snipers.
"If you EVER do anything like that again, I'll have your hide. DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME???"
He looked up as he tried to sink a little further into the ground.
"All right. Get out of here."
I pointed over towards the gate and moved back to give him room. He was gone like a shot.
As soon as he was out of the back yard I looked at Mary and cracked up. She looked confused and then joined me.
We laughed for a couple of minutes, then I put my hand on her shoulder. "Mary, you're lucky I didn't kill your dog."
"For a minute there I thought you were going to."
"I think I put the fear of God into him."
"I don't know about God but I don't think he'll cross you in the near future."
Mom and Myra were busy working on the frying pans. Mom was holding them away from her as Myra washed them down with the hose.
"What did you do to that poor dog?" Mom asked. "He went running into the house like you were coming after him with a pitchfork."
"Poor dog my butt. He's lucky he didn't get fixed."
"Well, I hate to say this but I'm afraid you're going to have to put these two back in the dishwasher. I don't think you should use any detergent but they need to be sterilized. After they're washed, make sure they're dry and coat the insides with olive oil. Then put them in a one fifty oven overnight."
"OK. I'll take them up and put them in the dishwasher now. I haven't had a chance to take my shower yet."
"All right. I'll see you in a little while. Don't forget my cranberries."
Jack was at his desk playing with his laptop. "What's up?"
"Just copying my picture files onto the laptop."
"How's it working?"
"All right. It could be a little faster."
"Are you working wireless?"
"Yeah."
"Try plugging a cable into the router. You'll get a faster connection that way."
"OK. I turned down the stove for both pots."
"Thanks."
I went into the kitchen and Bozo sat up, wagging his tail.
"There's a good Bozo. You wouldn't pee on my frying pans, would you?"
"Did someone pee on your frying pans?"
I jumped. "Damn it Jack, you scared me."
"Sorry. It isn't like you didn't know I was here."
"You were in the living room. I didn't expect you. Anyway, to answer your question, yes someone peed on my frying pans. After I got the lecture from Mom, I put oil on all of them and put two of them in the sun to dry. Then Dino went over and pissed all over them. I felt like strangling him."
"That's what you get."
"What I get? Stupid dog's got no manners."
"So, what are you going to do now?"
"Put them back in the dishwasher. Only no soap. I'm supposed to coat them with olive oil again then warm them in the oven overnight."
"Whatever. Like I said, I wasn't allowed to touch the sacred frying pans. What are you going to do now?"
"I'm going to take a shower and them I'm going to start getting all this food downstairs."
"Do you need some help?"
"Maybe later. It's not done cooking yet. Oh, by the way. Myra's moving in with Daddy over the weekend. She's going to watch over Laurie. She'll work out of his house instead of her apartment."
"That's good."
"Aren't you worried she's not going to have time for us?"
"No. Should I be?"
"I don't know. We went through all this work to find her and train her and then he just comes along and steals her."
"He didn't steal her. He needed someone to watch Laurie, Laurie now has some full time friends, Myra doesn't have to worry about rent and Internet and all that. It sounds like a good deal for everyone."
"I don't know. We'll see."
"Yes, I suppose we will. Have a good shower."
I took my shower and came out with my robe on. I smelled coffee when I opened the door. Jack was showing his computer to Alex when I walked past the living room. They had some weird song on the computer speakers.
"What's that you're listening to?"
"Alice's Restaurant," Alex answered me.
"What's that?"
It's a protest song from the Vietnam War era. A guy named Arlo Guthrie wrote and sang it."
"Never heard of him."
"How about Woody Guthrie?"
"Uh uh."
"How about this land is your land, this land is my land?"
"Yeah, that I know. Back in the second grade."
"That's one Woody wrote. He was a folksinger many, many years ago. His son was Arlo. He did Alice's Restaurant and it was way too long for the radio. I think it's a little over 18 minutes long. Anyway, some jock on KGB played it at lunchtime on Thanksgiving day back in the late 60s. Then he decided to do it the next year and the next and it became a tradition. It's one of the few things they've kept since Clear Channel took over."
We listened for over fifteen minutes over the Internet. The song about Alice and the restaurant but the restaurant wasn't called Alice's Restaurant; that's just the name of the song and that's why the song's called Alice's Restaurant. How they went to have Thanksgiving dinner in the church but the church was full of garbage and they dumped all the garbage, only to be caught by Officer Obie. And how, when he went in for his physical for the army he told the psychiatrist "I wanna kill, I wanna kill" and was told he was the kind of guy they were looking for and it got time to sign the papers and they asked him had he ever been arrested and he told them he had and they told him they couldn't use him in the army. And then Arlo lectured the army sergeant about how ridiculous they were going overseas and killing people and weren't going to let him join in the killing because he got arrested for littering. And the sergeant said, "Son, we don't like your kind."
It was fun and I enjoyed it but I think Alex and Jack went a little overboard, singing along and slapping their thighs in time with it.
After it was over, Alex showed me how to set the thermostat. It was fairly easy once you got the gist of it. The only problem was that you couldn't program Monday and then copy it for Monday through Friday. Each day had to be done in as many time slots as you wanted with the temperature for that time slot. He also showed me how to override the programming to turn the heater or air on for a while or set a new temperature for that day. It was versatile but I know I wouldn't have designed it the way it was.
They both asked if there was something they could do so I sent them into the kitchen to carve the meat. I had them each line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, then put their cut meat on it. Both went into the oven at 150 to keep warm. Alex was impressed with my pork and how juicy it was. Both boys sampled both kinds of meat while they were cutting. Jack was all set to toss the bone over to Bozo when I told him to put it in a baggie in the refrigerator. That would be great for split pea soup later on.
I put a couple of empty platters and serving forks on the table for the meat. They drained the potatoes and rutabagas and took them down for Mom to mash. I took my two pie plates of cranberry orange sauce. Since I figured we were going to be down there for a while, I told Bozo to come on.
Beth was coming up the driveway when we came downstairs, carrying a serving dish covered in foil. Bozo headed right for her, sniffing at it then changing his mind once he got a good whiff.
"Whatcha got, Beth?"
"Green beens and onions plus almonds. My mom used to make it for holidays."
"Sounds good. Did you have any trouble finding the place?"
"No, you gave me good directions."
"Well, come on in and I'll introduce you to some people."
Bozo came over to us as we headed for the house.
"Is that your dog?"
"Yup, this is my baby. His name's Bozo."
She knelt down and held the beans behind her with one hand while she made a fuss of him with the other, roughing up his neck and snuggling her face into him,. Telling him what a good boy he was all the time. Of course, Bozo lapped it up. She finished by holding his nose and blowing in his nostrils. He sneezed and barked, then ran to the back yard gate and back.
"I've never seen him act like that."
"I used to have a husky. He would go wild when I did that."
She brought the bowl back in front of her and we went into the house. Jack and Alex were talking to Mom. I introduced Beth to her. "She brought some green beans."
"Do they need to be kept warm?"
"They should," Beth answered.
"Jack, do me a favor and put them in your oven with the meat until we eat. There's a good boy."
Mom had Alex mashing potatoes so I introduced Beth to him. She was cordial enough but I could tell she was antsy.
"Beth, do you remember my father? He helped me when I landed on my face at the last playoff game."
"I think so. I'd like to meet him again, though."
"I'm pretty sure he's in the living room. Why don't you come with me?"
We were almost out the door to the hallway when Mom leaned over to Beth. "He's the one you wanted to father your children, isn't he?" she whispered. "I don't want to disappoint you but you may have to get in line. Your competition arrived a few minutes ago."
"Uh, thank you," Beth said to Mom as we continued, then leaned over and whispered to me, "What the heck is she..."
There was no need to finish the sentence because we say Ms. Evans sitting next to Daddy on the couch as we rounded the corner into the living room.
"Isn't this cozy," I said, half to myself and half to Beth. "Happy Thanksgiving, Ms. Evans."
"Happy Thanksgiving, Jill. I was just telling John, I mean you father, that 'Ms. Evans' is a little too formal when I'm away from school. Feel free to call me Audrey."
"OK, Audrey. I assume you know Beth."
They nodded at each other.
"Daddy, you remember my coach, Beth, from the game the other day when you were checking me out."
"I vaguely remember somebody checking somebody out. Happy Thanksgiving, Beth."
"Happy Thanksgiving."
"Isn't this nice," I said, sitting on the couch, patting it next to Daddy for Beth to sit down.
Charlie and Mary came in and sat together in a lounger. Somebody rang the doorbell and I got up to answer it. Paul was outside, looking nervous. I introduced him around and he ended up taking my place on the couch, next to Beth.
I went into the kitchen and saw that Claude was in there talking to Alex. Alex was still mashing only now it looked like he had the rutabagas instead of the potatoes.
"Is she working you too hard, Alex?"
"No, I'm glad she did this. I would have felt weird just coming over to eat without bringing anything or helping out."
"I thought Rudolfo was coming over."
"Oh, didn't I tell you? Rudolfo's in the hospital."
"No. What's wrong?"
"He wasn't paying attention to what he should have been on the job yesterday. He decided to walk off a roof."
"Oh! Is he going to be all right?"
"They don't know. He has some back damage. He can move everything, so he's not paralyzed, but he's in a lot of pain. It's all up in the air right now. They don't know if he'll be in permanent pain or if he'll recover completely. It was such a stupid accident."
"What happened?"
"He was foreman on a roofing job and one of the guys screwed up so Rudolfo was chewing him out, stomping around, waving his arms like he does when he gets excited. He just took a step back and found out he ran out of roof. He only fell fifteen feet or so but he landed wrong."
"Which hospital is he in?"
"Oh, he's in your mom's."
"Did you see him yesterday, Mom?"
"Nope. I had no idea he was in there until Alex told me he wouldn't be here for dinner. I'm working tomorrow so I'll stop by and see how he's doing."
I asked, "Is he going to be there very long?"
"They don't know," Alex said. "Depends on how things go, whether the pain continues or not. They might need to do surgery on it. If you want to visit him over the weekend, he should still be there."
"I'll think about that. Jack's working most of the weekend. I'm helping Myra move on Saturday. Maybe we can do something tomorrow."
"He's always liked you, Jill. He's always talking about flirting with you at the barbecue and making you turn red."
"How are your wife and daughter and her mother?"
"Wife and daughter are anxious to get back home, her mother's about the same as she was. I talked to Alicia yesterday and she's going to make some calls tomorrow and see about getting her mother out here like you suggested. She really perked up when I mentioned it to her. Thanks for that."
"You're welcome. No big deal."
Claude came over to us. "Not to you, maybe, but to us simple folk, it is a big deal. You see something that's not right or could be better and you think nothing about tossing out the perfect solution. What you don't see is that we're out here, so stuck in the middle of it that it's like we're drowning. You throw this big life preserver right to us when we're going under and then you say it's no big deal. Let me tell you, Jill, it is."
Alex held out his hand. "Alex Woodrows. What did she do for you?"
Claude shook his hand. "Claude Dandridge. I came back from taking care of my wife in Mexico to find out I didn't have a job. She talked to me for a while, got my spirits up out of the dumps, convinced me I wasn't useless and then found me a job a few hours later."
Mom came up to us. "Well, I hate to interrupt this admiration session but we're just about ready, Jill. Jack's going to carve the turkey and I need the ham and beans that are in your oven. Feel free to use Mary and Charley if you need them."
"Do you want a second coffee pot?"
"That probably wouldn't be a bad idea."
"OK. I'll get some help and be right back."
I went into the living room and got Mary and Charlie. I noticed that Beth wasn't as close to Daddy as she had been. She and Paul were talking. Daddy looked like he was being polite to Audrey but didn't really look interested in what she was talking to him about. She was leaning in to him and he looked like he was trying to back away from her. Poor Daddy. I just knew I'd have fun teasing him about Audrey for years.
The three of us were headed toward the front door when Daddy said, "Jill. Are those folding chairs still up in your place?"
"Yeah, they are."
"Do you need some help bringing them down?"
"Probably. We've got some things the kids are going to need for dinner, too. Laurie's booster is still in my kitchen and Billy's high chair is up there."
"OK. I'll be up there in a minute."
Mary, Charlie and I went out the front door and cut across the lawn.
"Did you see my dad's pies?" Charlie asked me.
"No. He told me he was going to get pumpkin."
"Make, not get. My dad makes the best pumpkin pies."
"Huh. I just thought he was going to get one of those frozen pies."
"Nope. He actually keeps a few pumpkins from Halloween every year so he can make pies on Thanksgiving and Christmas. He went home today and cut up a pumpkin and scooped out all the meat and mixed it with his secret mixture of spices and made pies. He used to make the crust from scratch but found some that are premade that he thinks are just as good. You've got to have some of his pie for desert."
"I will. Poor Myra. She bought some frozen pies and burned one of them. She says the oven in her apartment doesn't cook at the right temperature. It's no big deal and we've got plenty of pies. It's just that she's so afraid of people thinking she's trying to take advantage."
We got upstairs and I took the meat out and put it on top of the stove. I got one of the serving plates and started piling ham on it. I put Mary to work on the pork and had Charlie get the coffeemaker and a container of coffee beans to take downstairs.
Jack and Jill - A Naughty Nursery Rhyme by Lubrican Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack, who had a twin sister named Jill. They lived with their widowed mother in a small cottage at the bottom of a big hill. You may even have heard of them. There was a well known poem that was written about them going up that hill to fetch a pail of water. But what you probably DON'T know is the REST of the story of what happened that day. Jack was a strapping lad, 5'10", wide at the...
Jack was sitting down at his computer when I got home. "Jack, I've got to get going." "Going? For what?" "Oh, shit. God damn it, this is getting ridiculous. Today is the day we're burying Vivian. My mother." "Oh. I know I've been busy, but I'm certain that's something I would have remembered." "I know. There's just been so much going on with school and the emancipation and all of your appointments." "Well, no use crying about it. How much time do we have?" "Jack, I...
Just because I found things to do while Jack conducted his interviews doesn't mean I let the second wave of girls have at him. I answered the door for three of them and made an appearance in the kitchen after I'd been down to the house for the last. All of them were well aware that I was there and had staked my claim. I'm pretty sure Jack knew what I was doing by the way he smiled at me as I delivered each one to the kitchen and replenished my apple juice when I got back from Mom's. He...
I detoured to the office on the way in. Ms. Evans hadn't arrived yet so I left the list of books she was going to get for me in her box. I saw Julie on the way to Creative Writing. I caught up with her and called her name, tapping her on the shoulder. "Oh, Hi Jill. What can I do for you?" Not quite defensive, but definitely cautious, hesitant. "I just wanted to tell you how much I liked your talk yesterday." "Well, I think he willdo a good job." "Oh, I know Jack will do even...
Jack and Jill by Vickie Tern ([email protected]) Authors foreword "Jack and Jill" is a novel in ten chapters averaging 30k each about a fictional cross-dresser like you or me in fact or fantasy or remote curiosity, or else why have you read this far, and how he or she became the person who is narrating the story. It's mostly TG and femdom, with forced or tricked or cajoled feminization, but of course also m/f and m/m and f/f in various u.c. and l.c. combinations, and also...
I did sleep like rock. I remember dropping my clothes in the hamper and laying down. Then I woke up to find myself holding Jack's hand against one of my tits and feel his cock pressed into my butt. I scooted back a bit, enjoying the feeling for a moment. Unfortunately, the alarm clock rings way too soon when you're up half the night. I reached over and turned it off, pulling away from Jack. I went out to the kitchen. After I started the coffee, I sat down at the table and called up the web...
Becky said, "That sounds like a pretty easy password. What if somebody figures it out?" "It's not like it's going to be there forever," I told her. "I'm planning on having all the permission slips by day after tomorrow and then I'll take out the password." "But then anybody will be able to get into and change whatever they want to." "Beck, it doesn't work that way. There are different levels of protection. This one is so nobody sees it until your parents say it's OK. My...
Jack said, "I still don't understand why you have to eat mine. I told you I'd get you a bowl." "I don't want to get fat." "Jill, you'll get just as fat eating mine as you will eating out of your own bowl." "Maybe. But it won't be as much fun." June wiped her mouth again. "Give it up Jack. Woman's prerogative." "And there's nothing I can do about it?" All three of us said, "Nope." I guess he figured he wasn't going to win because he changed the subject. "Who...
I would have loved to snuggle up with Jack on the ride to school but I had stuff to do and I was in enough trouble already. First off, I got out my Geometry book and did the final problem while chewing mouthfuls of oatmeal. Loads of fun trying to find enough hands to hold a bowl of oatmeal, a spoon, a book, pencil and paper. Having my book bag on the floor between my legs added to the fun. I started reading the chapter we'd been assigned in History next. It was just like Mrs. Jenkins to...
Jack and Jill went up a hill, to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. Once upon a time there was a boy named Jack, who had a twin sister named Jill. They lived with their widowed mother in a small cottage at the bottom of a big hill. You may even have heard of them. There was a well known poem that was written about them going up that hill to fetch a pail of water. But what you probably DON'T know is the REST of the story of what...
What Jack said about Arthur really bothered me. I went over and over what Jack told me about their conversation, comparing it to Jack's half of it on the phone which is all I actually heard. I knew he wasn't lying; Jack would never lie to me. This was a lot different from his habit of not telling me things to surprise me. I think what bothered me the most is that I wasn't too thrilled with Arthur to begin with. Liz and I got along great and I trusted her completely. And immediately. Just...
Jack and Jill meet It was when I went to the patio to enjoy a cigar after dinner that we met. On the road for business, I found a decent bar and grill near my hotel where I was welcome to enjoy a fine smoke. I had dinner and then moved outside for a relaxing smoke in the cool weather. I lighted a Churchill-sized stick and after a few minutes of solitude, an exotic looking brunette spoke from just behind and to the side of me. “I love the smell of a fine cigar,” she said in a sultry voice that...
She MalesTrue story I’m not an author of any substance, however I wanted to capture some events and fantasies that I’ve had. Im hoping that Jill (The subject of this story) will read this My name is Jack. Happily married for over 20 years, living in London. A few years ago I met Jill at a business meeting. At the time we were competitors in business, however due to the magnitude of a mutual project we were forced to co-operate together. Jill is what most men dream of. She weighed about 55kg...
I robotically went through the motions to shower and change as one thought after another assaulted my mind. What did she want? That was the million dollar question. She wouldn't be here if she didn't want something. Daddy? Was she now willing to settle down and enjoy the things in life his hard work could now provide her? After she'd left him to establish and build a practice plus raise a daughter on his own while she had her fun? Or worse, was she planning to worm her way back into his...
I knew all along that I could take the whole thing in my mouth. Jack had his own ideas, though, and dragged me around on top of him so he could do me at the same time. Sixty nine is fun but it can be frustrating. The better you are at your half of it, the more effort it takes to hang on as your partner's body takes over and does its own thing. The only thing I can compare my end of it to is having someone trying to force a flexible jackhammer between your lips - one that spews goop as it's...
I reached up and turned off the alarm. "Come on, Babe. Time to get up." "Uhhmm. Leave me alone." I smacked her on the ass. "Come on. Karate in one hour." I walked downstairs and was almost knocked over by Bozo on the way down. I opened the kitchen door to see Mary sitting at the table, eating a bowl of cereal. "Hi, Jack." "Mary. Where were you last night?" "I went to the dance. You know that." "Not then. This morning." "I was at Charlie's." "At 5 in the...
The alarm woke me up and I had to untangle myself from Jack to turn it off. I had just finished putting on my robe when the phone rang. Jack tried to bury himself beneath a pile of blankets and pillows while I answered it. It was Mary, wondering if we were going to karate. I told her we were still on, that we'd just have to make sure to come straight home so we could get going to the playoffs. She hadn't decided if she was going to go early with us or finish some things she was in the...
"Boy, these eggs are good, Girls. Did you make them all by yourselves?" Jack said to Laurie and Annette. "Almost," Laurie answered. "Maybe we should hire them to make all our meals, Jill. How's a nickel a day sound?" Annette said "Uh uhhh." "OK. Two nickels." Laurie said, "No way." Myra said she'd do it for three nickels, then Eric and Julie complained that they put all that work in and didn't get any nickels. I saw some movement out of the corner of my eye and looked...
Jill and Wanda finally stopped talking about our adventures in the pool and the charcoal was ready for the meat. I went into the house and told Dr. O'Hara. He went into the kitchen and brought out a big rectangular Pyrex dish covered in tin foil. He set it down on the table next to the barbecue and took off the foil. It was filled with chicken breasts. They had obviously been marinated with a sauce of some kind. "OK, Jack. Now you get to see what chicken's supposed to taste like. Why...
I made it to class about five minutes early. I was heading over to my normal seat when Mr. Douglas said, "Jill, please bring your laptop over here." He was standing next to the podium he usually set his laptop up on when he wanted to demonstrate something to the whole class on the big screen. I walked over to him and he said, "Go ahead and set up. There's a mouse there if you want it. I'll introduce you and then I'd like you to take over for the rest of the class and explain what you...
Jack and Jill: The Awakening of Priapus and Venus Jack Manly and Jill Comfort sat across from one another at a table in a dimly lit bistro, holding hands, gazing deep into one another’s eyes. Their voices were low and becoming throaty as they talked quietly. The flickering candle light added subtle highlights to Jill’s (Dare I use the cliché?) peaches and cream face which was framed by a lustrous cascade of raven colored locks, and mesmerized Jack. Jill was no less effected as she stared...
I heard a sound; something I was familiar with but didn't recognize. Then a short, sharp bark. I opened my eyes and saw Bozo right in front of me. He started licking my face as if it was covered in chocolate and he was trying to get it all off. I pulled back and realized I was grabbing onto a pillow as if I had my arms around someone. I knew the bed was empty behind me before I turned around to make sure. Bozo started whining. That was the sound I'd heard but not quite heard before the...
Jack looked at the house. "I guess we should make an appearance." "I want to take our stuff upstairs. I'm sure Bozo needs to get out." "You're right. He's been up there since this morning." Jack got the door but there was no mad scramble to get down the stairs. I felt a hard knot in my chest as my first thought was that something must have happened to him. It must have shown on my face because Jack said, "I'm sure he's downstairs in the house." I took my bag into our room,...
The scene reminded me of an old Western. The room got quiet as everybody turned around to look at Sara and her dance partner; the band stopped in the middle of their song. The only thing missing was a bartender diving down behind the bar. The spell was broken as two faculty members appeared from nowhere and made their way over to the two of them. Chris was on his way in from the sidelines as Jill nudged me toward Sara. I looked at her, wondering why she was pushing me. "Go on." I walked...
I stood up and so did Sara. "Thanks, Jack." She kissed me on the cheek and wrapped her arms around me. We were standing in my new kitchen hugging each other when I heard Jill's voice. "My, my. What have we here?" "Oh, Hi Jill. It's not what you think." "Oh, really? And what do you think I think?" "You probably think this is all innocent and I did something nice and Sara's thanking me. It's really a prelude to going in the bedroom and having mad, passionate sex." "Oh. I...
Sara watched Jill and Mary as they walked toward the store, gossiping and laughing. "She must really hate me." "No, she doesn't hate you. She understands you. She understood you before she even met you. Jill doesn't look at things and decide they're the way they look on the surface. I'm just the opposite. I take everything anybody says at face value, and it's gotten me into trouble. A lot. No, if Jill hated you, I know you wouldn't be in this car today and you probably wouldn't be...
We discussed where to go out to eat. Laurie was a little young to appreciate Perlione's or the country club. Jack suggested Home Town Buffet and told Laurie how she take her own plate around and put whatever she wanted to eat on it. That sold her on it and she started hounding everybody, asking "Can we go now?" every couple of minutes or so. Daddy finally got up after twenty minutes of this. "Honey, why don't we meet you over there? We'll take Laurie to the restaurant and get...
I didn't do my cleanup in the gym. Going to school was something I wanted to do; I would have felt I was taking advantage if I didn't. Coach was aware of today being Jill's birthday and I had no qualms in not swinging a mop over the gym floor. And if he didn't want to pay for this week, that was fine. After all, I hadn't done anything to earn any money. When I got home, Mom's Lexus was in the driveway but I didn't see Wanda's car. I opened the door to let Bozo out. Wanda and Jill...
Jack took four pictures that I wouldn't mind framing and hanging in the hallway. The rest were very private; a couple of them would make a porn star blush. Those went on my hard drive in a password protected folder. It took a lot for me to hand the memory card back to Jack without reformatting it. Both of us could get into a lot of trouble if those pictures found their way into the wrong hands. And we all know how easy it would be for them to end up on the Internet. I wanted to say...
"Damn, Mom. I oughta bring you to school for show and tell during sex ed." "Well, there's no reason a girl has to torture herself to bring pleasure to her man. And if she does it right, it will be more pleasurable for him, too." "Well, it seems to be very popular with a lot of people. I read that they spent $25,000 to make Deep Throat and it's brought in over six hundred million." "I'm sure it has. But Linda Lovelace's husband got her to learn how to do that by putting a gun to...
The three of us walked out of the courtroom and into the elevator. We got to the first floor and went to an exit around the corner from the metal detectors. Both Daddy and Arthur had been quiet since we left chambers except when Arthur told us which way to turn. We got to the street and Arthur said. "Where are you parked?" Daddy pointed to the lot across the street at the corner and said, "Over there." "I'm around the block. I'll meet you over there. Eastside,...
Jack pulled into the driveway just as Claude was pulling away. They must not have recognized each other because neither acknowledged the other that I could see. It was pretty chilly out so I closed the door. A minute later I heard Jack trudging up the stairs. I went to the door and opened it. He was on the landing with a big green trashcan at his feet. "I already gave at the curb," I said, pretending to close the door in his face. "That's fine," he shouted through the door. I'll just...
On the way to school, Jill said that she wanted to go furniture shopping on Saturday. I agreed to go out with her to see what was available. I had an idea that furnishing the bedroom, living room and getting a kitchen table as well as all the linens, dishes, silverware and all the other stuff that goes with moving into a new place was going to overtax my meager funds. It had seemed like a fortune when I got my ebay payoff, but I was beginning to realize that with the plans I had for her...
We got to the car and Jack stopped up short. "Did you leave anything inside the car? " he asked. "I don't think so," I said. "Why?" "It looks like someone's been inside it." He walked around the car, checking doors. "They're all locked. But Laurie's seat and her DVD were in there when we got here and they're gone now." "Wait a minute." I got out my phone and pressed 6 to call Daddy. He answered after the first ring. "We're ready to leave for home. You wouldn't happen...
"Give me a couple of minutes to make up a folder for Gina," Jack said. "That's fine. I'll go put on the coffee." I took the plate with the two cinnamon rolls on it and put it on the kitchen table, then started a pot of coffee. I went to the freezer and put the rest of the cinnamon buns on a plate and put them in the microwave, not turning it on yet. Jack came in and sat down at the table, grabbing one of the rolls. The coffee maker went through its dying gurgles and I poured a couple...
At 9:25, I pulled into the parking lot at the junior college. I got out and made my way over to the gate. The guard checked me out, recognized me and waved. I was waving back when Jill ran up to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck and I spun her around as she kissed me. Kind of like Mary Tyler Moore without the hat. Or was that That Girl? "Wow. This is new. Why so affectionate?" "Can I help it if I miss you?" "No, I guess not. I'd rather have you in my arms than have you ignore...
Bozo looked a lot better with the blood washed off. He did have a scratch about an inch and a half long that was a little over a quarter inch wide near the middle, but it wasn't very deep. Of course, he was perfectly willing to lie in my lap and have me hold him. Jack came back after getting rid the bloody washcloth sat down next to me. He reached over and scratched Bozo behind the ear. Bozo half opened his eyes, saw who it was, thumped his tail a couple of times, then closed his eyes. "I...
I went into the kitchen and looked at the message board next to the wall phone. There was a message that Jill called with a phone number from our area code that I wasn't familiar with. I dialed the number and a man answered, "Talk to me." "Uh, I'm trying to reach Jill O'Hara. This is the number I have for her." "This is Dr. O'Hara, her father. Who is this?" "Oh, hi John. It's Jack Hill." "Oh, Jack. Hang on a minute... Jillian, there's an obscene phone call for you." This...
It had only been a day, but it felt strange to be going back to school. Spending a day in the middle of the week with Jack was amazing. I like my sleep, and getting up at 5:30 every school day was going to take some getting used to. But being able to snuggle up to Jack and hold his arm all the way to school would make it worth my while. Over the past couple of months, there had been several turning points in my life. Running into Jack was the first one, of course; the one that started it...
Jack and Charlie looked at me like I'd grown another head when I came out of the bedroom. "What?" Jack said, "Did you just say twat?" "Oh, come on, Jack. Don't tell me you've never heard the word." "I've heard it. I'm just surprised to hear it from you." "Girl talk, Jack. Girl talk." Charlie decided it was time to check in with Mary and Jack needed to finish copying his notes. "I'm going to take Bozo out and then I'll probably spend some time with Laurie." "How are...
Nurse Clipboard must have thought it was safe now. She ran into the makeshift delivery room after John and Mom left and confronted Jill. "We need to do an APGAR score on these children. You're putting the hospital in a terrible position." I heard the clipboard hit the floor and Jill said "Stick your APGAR up your ass, bitch. And clean up that mess." Jill stormed out and was followed shortly by Nurse Clipboard who now had twins in her arms, no way to do anything with her hands and was...
Tuesday morning came around too early. My alarm went off a half hour before I was used to getting up since I had to take Jill to school first. I heard some noise out near the garage but not enough to wake anyone up. I remember when the next door neighbors added a family room to their house. Once the workmen started, there was no way anyone on the street could sleep. It was as if they had every power tool under the sun, and they had to all be on at once. One more reason to appreciate Alex. I...
"Oh, Shit!" Jack said. "Did you call Silverwood?" We were on the way home from the grocery store. "Yeah, I talked to Claude. They all left early today. He said we didn't miss anything." "That's good. I'm sorry. I didn't even think about it till just now." "That's OK. They're my customer so it's my responsibility, not yours." We got home and Bozo must have smelled the chicken because he followed us into the kitchen, his nose in the air. He was quite disappointed when I...
Alex and Jorge finished up going through three plates of pancakes and a couple of cups of coffee. Jorge got into the blueberry syrup, he'd never had it before. I was done and went out to see what they were up to. Alex had a long handled squeegee that he used on the floor. It wasn't dry but it wasn't flooded, either. In the meantime, Jorge opened up a long roll of plastic on the front lawn. He went up the stairs to the second floor, got up on a ladder in the middle and measured from the...
I untangled my shirt from the waistband and worked my skirt down, tossing it in the hamper. After taking off the shirt, I used it dab between my legs to clean what hadn't already dripped out. I threw it at Jack, who caught it one-handed. "You can clean up the carpet while I take a shower." Jack and I have this battle going on about whose mess it is. I say since he made it, it's his. He claims it's a gift to me and if I choose to drip it out, it's my problem. So far, neither of us has...
Laurie and Posie were chasing butterflies on the front lawn when we drove up. It looked like the butterflies were winning but neither of them seemed to care. Posie was still working on that running thing, tripping over herself whenever she tried to go too fast. Mary was sitting with her back against the wall, reading a textbook. As soon as we pulled up to the curb, Laurie started running toward me, Posie right behind her. Mary put her book down and made her way to Charlie, though not quite...
We got Myra cleaned up and she started to leave. Laurie asked where Annette was and she told her the kids were down in the car. That meant getting a sweater on Laurie and going down to the car so she could say hello to her friend. Billy seemed happy to see me and Bozo. Yes, Bozo had to go down, too. And Posie. When we got back upstairs, Daddy and Mom were still talking at the kitchen table. I got the pot of coffee and topped everyone off. Again, I got the 'can't believe this coffee'...
Telling Jill I'd sleep anywhere as long as she was with me was obviously the right thing to say. She held on to my arm and pulled close, a little sigh escaping her lips. I relaxed and was almost asleep when she spoke. "Jack?" Oh boy. Now what. "Hmmm?" "Do you remember this morning? In the car?" "Uh Huh. What about it?" "I told you I'd make it up to you for being there last night. I owe you, Jack." Her right arm untangled itself from mine and I felt her hand snake under my...
You have to have warm dinner rolls with lots of butter when you eat beef stew. If it's not the law, it should be. We'd stopped at Vons and picked up a tube of the things. I tossed them to Mary when we walked into the house. Sara look kind of wary when she saw the Tupperware. "What is it?" "It's beef stew." "It's not going to be like yesterday's, is it?" "Nah. This smelled pretty good. And Jill made sure she didn't screw up." "All right, then." Jill emptied the stew into...
Bozo spent the night in the garage with us. He stayed over near the water heater. Mom had told Jill to take responsibility for what she was doing to me while we were doing our chores earlier. Jill had promised to make it better. She did. I'd planned on talking to her about what she and Mary talked about while they were washing Mom's new car. That idea went out the window. Jill wouldn't let me put shorts on and she was naked when I turned out the main light. We got into bed and the next...
Laurie's action confused me. Did she think of me as just another DVD on the pile, another person to come into her life for a while and then leave? I wanted to tell her that I would always be around, that she could count on me, but I knew it wasn't true. My life was getting busier and busier every day and I just didn't have the time to spend with her like I was today. Less than a year from now, there was a good chance Jack and I would be gone, off to a college in some city far away. Would...
The alarm went off at 6:00. I got up and Jill moaned. Bozo came over to me and made himself known. I'd totally forgotten he was in the garage with us. He really was a pretty good dog. I opened the side door and saw that the outside lights were still on. Bozo ran out to squat as I flipped the switch. Jill came up behind me, put her hand on my shoulder and gave me a quick kiss. "See you inside. Gotta pee." I saw her open the kitchen door, step up with one foot, then screech "Daddy!" I...
We all sat down to dinner. I was glad we'd taken that walk. Mom had roast beef with mashed potatoes and gravy and asparagus covered in sour cream. "So how was your big date." "It was fine, Mary." "Did you get any?" "Mary, I don't want to hear talk like that. It's Jackie's business whether he got any or not. How would you like it if he asked you if you put out when you start dating?" My father's name was Jack Raymond Hill. When I was born, they named me Jack Royce Hill. So...
I gave them time to get home, then called John on his cell phone. "Talk to me." "Hi, John. It's Jack." "Hang on, I'll get her." "Wait a minute. I need to talk to you. I need your OK before I buy her something." "Jack, I said I wasn't ready for that..." It was after dinner. The only reason we were getting into this was that I needed to borrow her car to make it work. "Jack, I think it's too soon. Look at you, you were ready to give up on girls last week. You just gave...
Jack got home a little after five thirty. When he kissed me and asked "How was your day?" I felt like Donna Reed. Pretty good. I could get used to this. After we swapped some spit, I asked, "Did you shower after practice?" "Yes, Ma'am." He turned his head and pulled the top of his ear down. "See?" "Good Boy. Now you need to take Bozo out and let him do his business for about five minutes. And when you come back, I need you to lock the front door. Then let me know you're back,...
My body tried to jump up but something was holding my right arm down. I came up to consciousness and saw that it was Jill. She moved a bit and moaned. The banging that had awakened me started up again. "Amuhmfamfh" was as about as coherent as I could be this soon after waking. "Jack. Jill. Come on, breakfast. Mom wants to talk to us." I was able to get out a fairly understandable "In a minute, Mary." I reached over to get my underpants but they felt stiff. "I used them to clean...
Daddy had his eyes closed and was conducting Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as I came up to the car. It was easy to tell because he was at the da da da daaaah part. He turned toward me as I opened the door. His face looked relaxed and he smiled at me silently, leaned forward, turned the key and started the engine. We eased out of the parking lot towards home. He listened to the CD for a while, then lowered the volume. "How did it go?" "Real good. I think Myra's going to come work for us....
Miss Beevers asked Sara to stay a minute after class, so I went out into the hallway to wait for her. Sally Faragon came up to me. Sally is known for her mouth. She's one of the two girls who was talking to Sara when I put my arm around her. And the one who was spreading the word at the beginning of English. "Gee, Jack, that was some essay. Did you really do all that stuff?" "Yeah, I guess. Sometimes Sara makes things seem more important than they really are." "Did she really have a...
