Sunday 30th August, 8pm
“Mike,” said his father, “we’re going to have to get them out of wherever they are. My fear is that if we call the police, they’ll burst in and we’ll have bigger problems. We’re going to need Jim to help us. Although I despise what he’s done, I know we’re going to need him”
“What about Stefan, could he help us?” he asked.
“Is he in?”
“I’m not sure, I’ll take a look.”
While Mike visited the neighbours house, Maurice went upstairs to console Daniele, who lay on her stomach on their big bed, weeping.
“We’ll find her, don’t worry” he said, resting his hand on her back.
“It’s all so dreadful. I know she’s in trouble, I can feel it. Maurice, we’ve got to get to her. What is they are filming it? Eh? I’ve read about these things. There are some very sick people out there.”
“We’ll find her. When Andre gets here, we’ll set off. I think we’ll need the help of Jim”
“But you were so rude to him. I don’t know if he’ll want to face you, anyway!” she sobbed.
“I was hardly going to congratulate him, was I?” he snarled, his face colouring once again.
“Maurice, I’ve never told you this, but I lost my virginity at about the same age as Lori”
“What, at fifteen?”
“About that, yes.”
“But that doesn’t make it right, does it?”
“No, but sometimes, it just happens that way. I’m disappointed, but not really angry. But I am very worried about wherever they’ve gone. It’s very late now, especially for a Sunday”
The kitchen door slammed shut as Mike returned. “Dad, there’s nobody there!” he shouted up the stairs.
“OK, can you give Jim a call, tell him I’m sorry but we’d like his help. We can collect him from the station if he wants!”
“What if he won’t help?”
“Please, you’ll have to convince him. Tell him what we know. Tell him that Lori is in danger and that we’re going to go and look for her!”
Mike made the call and talked quietly to Jim. He told him most of the things that they had learned that evening, with the exception of some of the hearsay that had been gathered from Marlene. He put the phone down and clumped upstairs.
“OK, he’ll be at the station in about thirty minutes. I said we’d collect him. What about Nikki’s dad?”
“I’ll call him. We’ll need his car as well, I think”
The group had assembled by just after ten o’clock. Daniele, Maurice and Andre discussed the route they should take, deciding that they would investigate the Lausanne site first.
“We’ll call here once we get to the outskirts of Lausanne” said Maurice, “just in case they come home. Then we’ll call you once we’ve investigated the first place. If we don’t find anything, we’ll back track and make our way to Lauterbrunnen, again calling just before we go up the mountain.”
“I left a note for Jean telling her briefly what’s happened, but I expect she’ll call here as soon as she reads the note.” said Andre, his arm around Daniele. “You’ll have to bring her up to date. I’m sure she’ll want to be here. She can take a cab or walk” The phone rang just as Andre picked up his coat. Mike answered it and replaced the receiver.
“That’s Jim, he’s at the station.” There was a slight buzz in his voice as his excitement at the expedition fired his imagination. His father was busy bundling blankets and clean clothes into the two cars.
“Come on then! Maps?” asked Maurice.
“Got them” replied Mike.
Sunday 30th August, 8am The car really did arrive at seven fifty in the morning. Lauren had hoped that it might fail to turn up so that they could say they tried, but go back to bed and enjoy a normal Sunday. Nikki said if it was late she would be really angry as she could have stayed in bed later. They had time for a cup of coffee and some toast before leaving a short message for her parents and gently closing the back door. Rebecca was sitting in the front passenger seat, clearly so...
Thursday 23rd July Three days later, Lauren made the journey back to Kristal’s house on the bus, arriving at about two o’clock. She rang the doorbell and was interested to see that Kristal looked much smarter than she had last time, wearing tights or stockings, an ivory coloured skirt and white blouse with a small, matching ivory waistcoat buttoned down the middle. Her shoes looked like her mother’s which were made by Bally. Her long dark hair was pinned up, allowing a few strands to...
Lauren sighed; the feelings inside of her were overwhelming. She was afraid, not because of the feelings, for she did not know how to handle the feelings she was having. They were not new feelings, just stronger over the last couple of years. Her need grew day by day, her frustration overwhelmed here. She was prone to bouts of depression, a side effect of her feelings. Lauren was afraid to express those feelings to anyone, for fear of being rejected, for fear of being used. Her biggest fear...
"Very good, you two." said Maria, "that was great, well done. Have a rest and watch the next part of the show." She rose, revealing she wore knickers and the white bra. Lauren, in an attempt to be invisible, glanced back at the two youngsters, now cuddled up again together on the chair. She knew where Maria had gone, certain that she would return with the young girl who was meant to be in her protection. Lauren mentally shrugged. The girl wasn't a virgin and was more sexually active...
The heat persisted throughout that week, making Lauren irritable and short tempered. She lacked sleep and if she had not been able to snooze during the day she would have been a wreck. Felix called on Friday afternoon just after lunch to say that he would have to work late that night, but would be able to take her out on Saturday afternoon. She agreed, looking forward to his company and a break from the boredom of the household routine. After the usual salad for tea, she lolled on the sofa...
Psst? I have a secret? Wanna know what it is!I've had a crush on my Uncle Robert for over 20 years.It all started when I turned 18 and he was 34.Let me tell you a little bit about myself. When I was 18, I was five foot four, blonde, and built pretty well. My measurements were 36c-28-35, a little hippy, but isn't that what boys needed to grab hold of when they're fucking you?I was the youngest of three k**s, with older twin brothers named Ethan and Evan. My mom and dad are Elizabeth and William...
Emma grew worse by the hour. She excused herself at about five o'clock, making for the warmth of their bedroom. Lauren looked in on her every couple of hours, noting that she slept continually, hardly moving from one visit to the next. Jamie went to bed at about eleven o'clock, leaving Lauren and Maria down in the lounge, chatting. Lauren was amused at how he had changed that day. Instead of being shy and awkward around both herself and Maria, he was confident, almost cocky, and Lauren felt...
Lauren waded through her schoolbooks that were lying on her bedroom floor, kicking the algebra textbook through the open window. She gave herself top marks for accuracy and floated into bed, kissing her teddy bears goodnight as the light turned itself off and the passengers pulled away from the train. Jim waved to her from the platform and she smiled. The passengers returned a few moments later, knocking on her bedroom door. She pulled the covers to her chin and grimaced as the banging...
Lauren realised two things when she woke the following morning. Firstly that Emma hadn't had her medicine the night before and that she had made love to her brother while using the ointment inside her. Neither of the thoughts cheered her up, but she determined that after Elizabeth and Gustav departed she would make sure that Emma had another dose of the slimy stuff to get her back on the road to recovery. She swung out of bed and showered in her bathroom. It was before eight o'clock, which...
Wednesday 5th August Lauren naturally spent the early part of the week bringing Nikki up to date with her exploits at the studio, revealing more and more of the details as Nikki subjected her to relentless questioning. In fact, by the end of Tuesday, Nikki said that the afternoon sounded like a story of fairy-tale romance; Champagne, bright lights and beautiful people. However, Lauren’s narrative was enough to provide Nikki with a graphic picture of the afternoon and a noticeable damp spot...
Lauren woke to find herself being shaken by the woman while Emma and Jamie looked down at her. "Wakey wakey, we're here. Follow me and I'll find out which rooms you three can have." She disappeared round the side of the truck, Jamie closely behind. Lauren swung off the back and landed hard on the ground, her limbs tight and aching. "Ow, shit!" she moaned. Looking up to find a target for her wrath, she discovered she was in the grounds of a wonderfully old house. Huge, grey flag stones...
Saturday 22nd August, 11am Maurice Gisal drove very carefully round the hairpin bends that led from the valley up towards AnneMarie’s village, even though he had been up there many times in all seasons. On the back seat was a small suitcase containing every conceivable piece of clothing that Lauren might require during some emergency, plus her overnight things in case she had to stay, plus makeup, a present, camera, spare film and her Cookie Monster dressing gown which was again pressed into...
"Can i stop yours tonight?" asked Lauren "Yeah sure, my parents are away" replied Jess "Great i'll see you about 6?" said Lauren "Yeah but i hope you don't mind Katies stopping the night too." said Jess "Thats fine, see you later" said Lauren 6 o clock came. The doorbell rang. Lauren was greeted by Jess and Katie, who were giggling and stumbling around. "Your drunk" said Lauren, hardly shocked. "Yeah, grab a drink" said Jess, filled with enthusiasm. Jess' mum had left the alcohol cupboard...
LesbianChapter 1 They'd both already started into the budding of early adolescence. They had started shooting up in physical height, their bodies had started to show more roundedness and their faces showed more maturity and more female physical beauty as they became young women. Lauren had been the first of the two girlfriends to start showing some curves and the beginnings of young pubescent breasts sprouting on her chest. And as Lauren's budding tits had begun to push out against her blouse,...
"Lauren" Silence. "Lauren" echoed again, shaking. She opened her eyes, the morning light streaming through the window, dazzling her, silhouetting Maria. "Hey, wake up, here's coffee!" Lauren rolled onto her side, slowly recalling their love making the previous night. Her senses told her she was still naked, a distinctly unhealthy stickiness between her legs. "Oh, thanks. What time is it?" asked Lauren, avoiding her eyes. "About ten. Jamie's up already. Emma looks a lot better....
Saturday 25th July Two days later, Lauren’s parents announced that Grandma’s flat now had a useable spare room, and they would be spending the night to speed up the downstairs decorating. Their father once again ceremoniously loaded the car with tools, paint and now wallpaper, shouting good-bye up the stairs to the two children. Their mother fussed as usual, running through the instructions for heating their meals for the third time until she too wished them farewell. Mike suggested to...
- An old draft I found. I've clearly improved since then. Hope you still like it -Lauren's Dildo SessionLauren never got along with her two older sisters. Cindy and Maureen were three and five years older than her and treated Lauren as a millstone round their necks ever since. They never wanted to play with her when she was a toddler, and later on they never took Lauren along when they were out and about."You're embarrassing", they always picked on her. "You're a nuisance ... We don't want to...
Four days later, Jamie returned and the girls went to the station to collect him. The train was a respectable thirty-five minutes late, and he was clearly tired from the short but arduous journey. Lauren introduced herself and was delighted that Emma beamed at Jamie all the way back to the house. He was almost the same height as Lauren, not muscular but certainly no wimp. He also had blonde hair, darker than Emma's, cut conservatively like his father's. Lauren guessed that he had yet to...
"What about your story?" prompted Lauren. "Well, she's you know, put her hand down here..." He motioned down between his legs. "And held your willy?" asked Lauren. "Well, only through my jeans." Emma sat up, one leg flat on the sofa and the other at ninety degrees, affording an unrestricted view of her little knickers. Lauren realised that she sat like that perfectly innocently, unaware that she was arousing him with a display of provocation greater than anything he had seen in...
"Is everyone allright?" asked Jamie, a look concern moving through surprise into lust. "We heard noises." "It was us. We've been playing games. Talking about the weather." said Lauren. "Oh right. Much easier with your clothes off, eh?" They ventured into the room. "Well, what about you two? Reading a novel?" "Yes!" said Julie, laughing. She too seemed to have had too much wine as well, and mixed with the sun and Jamie's wandering hands, was in a giggly mood. She sat on the...
Saturday 11th July Nikki rang the doorbell to Lauren’s house at precisely 10 o’clock the next morning, to be greeted by Lauren’s mother, who informed her that Lauren was not yet up, but Nikki was welcome to take a cup of coffee up to her and throw her out of bed. Obligingly, Nikki made a cup of coffee and went upstairs. Lauren was curled up in bed, facing the window with the curtains still drawn. Nikki placed the coffee on the bedside table and pulled the curtains open, allowing the day’s...
The girls sat on the bed, still covered in the duvets. They looked slightly happier than a couple of hours ago, although had Nikki removed her covers, the wounds would have looked much worse with the dull bruising that had now set in. At just after one fifteen, they heard the door open above them followed by footsteps on the stairs into the reception area. Simone had changed her clothes and now wore what looked like a black silk kimono, embroidered along the lapels with oriental...
Lauren had no recollection of leaving the lounge, of being cut from the chair and taken to her bedroom with the ropes still tight around her wrists. She vaguely knew that Emma had bathed her while she lay on her stomach on the bed, dousing the raging heat in her buttocks and thighs with so many cold flannels that the bed was decidedly wet. Fortunately, Lauren was unable to see the blood that Emma squeezed out of the flannel with every trip to the bathroom. Lauren cried relentlessly, sobbing...
During the morning, Lauren spent her time either avoiding Maria or looking at her watch, counting the minutes before four o'clock. Maria had carefully laid out some juvenile clothing for the girls - pale yellow floral print dresses with large white buttons down the front. Lauren held hers against her body and grimaced. Five years ago she could have worn it in mid-summer, but her tastes had moved on. But her dismay was tempered by the fact that Maria had delivered thin, almost see-though...
Saturday 8th August On Saturday morning, the whole family trooped round to the Renzer’s house, knocked on the side gate and went through to the back garden singing `yoo-hoo’. Claude Renzer came through the large sunroom and out onto the patio to welcome them warmly. He was a tall man, thin with greying hair, and certainly older than Maurice Gisal. Celestine Renzer, who joined him almost immediately, looked radiant, almost too well, petite to the extent of being dwarfed by her husband. Lauren...
The replacement of the police force in the north had been a bad move. The Nationalists had interpreted it as an undercover method of replacing the locally elected authority with soldiers who would do the government's dirty work. Students in the university towns of the north went on strike, and found some sympathy with those in the capital. Their demands escalated from the reinstatement of the police to better pay for state employees, a shorter working week and a minimum wage. The television...
Lauren let all the information sink in and floated to her room. She couldn't remember what he looked like, except that he needed a wash. She wondered what she would wear for tomorrow's lunch. Searching through her cupboards made her miserable - she had either T-shirts and her bikini, or jeans and sweaters. Nothing much in between. She thought for a moment and decided that she might drag Emma down to the clothes shop again and buy a couple of things. She glanced across the corridor into...
For the first time in many years, Lauren saw the sun rise. The great yellow orb pushed into the sky lazily, greeting her with a warmth and welcome that she found almost endearing. It was seven o'clock, and time to wake Emma, who would keep her company on the way to the airport. She knew they were both tired having spent a long evening clearing out the spare room of all the stored food and pushing it into the garage, but the journey might wake them up and she was so excited to think that...
Lauren woke just after eight o'clock, alone and rested. She stretched lazily over to the light by her bed and flicked the switch. She looked at the mess of clothing on the floor. A few months ago she might have groaned inwardly as she recollected their activities but that morning a smile spread across her lips as she replayed the action and sensed again the sensuous and outrageous loving they had enjoyed. Her skirt and bra lay by the door, unceremoniously tossed away in the heat of the...
Emma squirmed. Lauren let go as she disappeared beneath the surface. Lauren watched her gracefully stroking under water, heading for the shallow end. They stepped out of the pool, Lauren following Emma across to the loungers by the patio door. The little girl's buttocks twitched as she tip-toed on the hot flagstones, and Lauren had a hard job restraining her hands as Emma bent forward to move the seat into the sun, her pussy hairless, perfect, clean and inviting. Lauren lay down, feeling the...
Saturday 29th August, 11am Lauren packed her overnight bag slowly, dropping clothing into it haphazardly without thinking much about what she needed for the day. They had decided to go to Interlaken later and take a look around the shops, then return to Nikki’s house in the early evening and have tea while watching a film. They had also decided to spend the night at Nikki’s to make life easier for them early on Sunday morning to go to Rebecca’s wedding. She smiled as she dropped her dressing...
Laurens Gets Caught“Shit.” Chelsea stated again. Lauren rolled off the bed, still buzzed from all the alcohol consumed earlier, and found a shirt. Chelsea followed suit as the two went to talk to Lauren’s mother about what happened. Not more than 30 seconds ago, Chelsea saw Lauren’s mother Lena peeping in on them as Lauren’s pussy was being fingered. It was an uncomfortable situation. Lauren and Chelsea were just best friends having some harmless, drunken fun. They needed to set the record...
Incest"I hear you're a disobedient girl!" bellowed the General, leaning forward to address her directly. "There's no room for disobedience in my outfit, you know." The chatter in the room died away. Lauren heard her heart pounding against the floor, the squelch of her pussy as Maria let go of her foot. She curled into a ball, exposing the tight cum-speckled slickness of her pussy to him. Trembling slightly, she coughed, catching her breath in between great gasps for air. "I think she needs...
The priestess offered the heavy golden dagger to Lauren. She took the jeweled handle, aware of the weight of the knife as she turned it over in her hand. “Cut her knickers off, Lauren.” said the Priest. “ If you don’t, I’ll blindfold someone else and they will do it!” Nikki whimpered. Lauren rose to her knees, her legs barely supporting her as she sobbed, shaking her head as if to clear her head of the bad dream. The congregation watched as she crawled slowly towards Nikki. She looked at...
Lauren exhaled, signaling acceptance of the invitation. Maria snuggled deeper against her chest, her cheek rubbing against Lauren's nipple. As if on cue, they both drained their glasses and placed them near the ladder. She caressed the side of Maria's head, feeling the long, straight hair between her fingers, playing with it, twirling it around and noting the smoothness of each strand. She felt fingers traversing her stomach, moving from her thigh, over her hip and up towards her breasts,...
As evening fell, the girls made their way cautiously out of the hotel lobby, turning left towards the center of town once again. Neon lights blazed in the distance as shops closed up for the night and the club life began in earnest. Music spilled from roadside bars and cafes as they threaded their way through the narrow, noisy backstreets. "Hey!" whispered Emma, "Do you think it's, you know, safe down here?" She looked around as though expecting to be mugged at any moment. Lauren...
Four days later, Lauren was fit enough to bathe and feed herself. She could walk around the house unaided, but always made sure she was within striking distance of something to hold onto if she became dizzy. She ventured out onto the remains of the patio, peering down into the rounded hole that had been the pool. The familiar heat remained, but the soothing waters had vanished. She sat in her shorts and T-Shirt on the lounger and surveyed her bruised limbs and the scene of damage. Without...
Sunday 2nd August Lauren entered the clothes room, closing the door behind her. She walked to the end and looked at herself in the mirror, delighted with her makeup from Simone and equally excited about the afternoon. She looked into the box, took out a white blouse, and held it against herself so she could gauge it’s fit. The second one seemed about right, so she dropped it on the chair, glanced at the door, and after kicking off her sandals, unzipped her dress and let it fall to the...
Turning the bath taps on, Lauren stripped, once again so pleased to be able to wander from her bedroom into the lounge and bathroom quite naked. At home she used to wear so many layers! The bath filled slowly as she stretched out on the sofa, her feet on the floor as her head rested on the arm so she could see the television. She rested her hands between her parted legs, pleased with the ready moisture that she found. Bringing her fingers to her nose, she reveled in the sweet scent of herself...
They sauntered up to the long dimly lit oak bar and climbed onto two stools, looking around all the time while trying to remain sophisticated. The barman glanced at Lauren and took a long look at Emma. "Two cokes, please!" said Lauren. The barman served them within seconds, bringing a little bowl of nuts and crackers with their drinks as he smiled at them both. Lauren asked for the dinner menu and they studied it, trying to determine from the French and Spanish descriptions exactly what...
Lauren kissed her lips lightly, tasting the suntan lotion on her tongue as she explored further, teasing her ears and neck and down quickly to her breasts. Nikki parted her legs and Lauren accepted the invitation to trail her tongue down her body, along her thigh and back round inside up to her vagina. Nikki grabbed her head and pushed her hard against her pussy, her actions rough and demanding as she bent her knees and Lauren knelt by her side. Lauren hadn't really thought about how she...
The following morning was busy for Lauren in comparison to others. She got up just before 8 o'clock, slipped naked from her bed and showered. She moved the growing pile of clothes from the doorway of the bathroom and added them to the two pairs of knickers she had discovered that previous night. Lauren ran her hand over the sofa, brining it to her nose to check whether any evidence remained of their activities. To her disappointment, there was none. A quick rummage through her clothes...
They scrambled across the room, Lauren locking her eyes on Stefan's red raw cock that jutted out in front of him. She felt good, happy to be naked and ready to have sex with any one of the three others, not caring who was watching. Emma's little buttocks hardly moved as she skipped to the sofa, spilling her wine over her legs. Lauren realised that they had all had a little to much to drink, vowing that maybe tomorrow they would just have coke as they wandered around Caracas. "No, no!"...
The world was quiet as Lauren woke, surveying the darkened room before slipping quietly out of bed. Naked, she sat on the toilet in her bathroom and wondered what she would do that day. Too many of her days took the same form: Breakfast, swim, shower, get dressed. Take Emma, maybe Jamie down to Boquette, buy something they don't really need. Maybe visit the supermarket. Maybe have lunch in the square. Back home for a snooze, swim, tea, watch the news. Lauren found her bikini bottoms, pulled...
Lauren left the high end downtown department store and stepped gingerly into the sidewalk shuffle of business suits on lunch break and tourists gawking up at the tall San Francisco buildings. Her long red hair was pulled back in a bun and the tight black pencil skirt hugged her full hips. Her white blouse was stretched taut by the luscious breasts. She took tight, terse steps and her face was a stoic mask as she dipped into an alley off the main street. Anyone watching the curvy department...

This story has two locations, a cafeteria and a home. It has a total of five characters. I hope my switching time frames doesn't confuse the reader. Lauren and Bonnie Background He was sitting alone at a table in the far corner of the cafeteria of his office building. In front of him was a bowl of soup, a sandwich and a glass of...
Saturday 11th July The girls locked the bathroom door behind them, and looked at each other conspiratorially. Lauren was aware that Nikki wanted to play with her brother’s cock, and had no real objections, but she found it difficult to commit to being a part of the frolicking. Perhaps she would just watch. She assumed that Mike would have no objections to that. She reached behind and undid her top, letting it fall to the floor. It was still damp and had made her nipples firm without being...
Monday 20th July Lauren had been waiting about ten minutes for Nikki when the bus appeared from around the corner just as her friend arrived. They boarded it and secured their usual back seats checking the occupants for any boys. Lauren needed to get the pattern for her bridesmaids dress and Nikki wanted to come and help select it. The only place to get the pattern was Interlaken, and so they settled back for the twenty minute journey. The bus took them along the banks of the lake Thuner...
She looked up to see where they had been. The door towered above them, seemingly an impossible height from the ground. She was amazed how a single gunshot could bring out Olympic qualities in people. Aches penetrated her thoughts, especially in her lower back and Emma moved stiffly ahead into the dense growth. "Wait, don't go too far. Grab the case and let's make sure we're out of sight" she whispered. Turning back to Jamie, she nodded at him, pulling him roughly away from the tracks,...
Friday 7th August Jim, ever punctual, arrived at eleven fifty, beaming as he saw Lauren through the doors of the bus in her pale yellow dress and white shoes. Even before the hissing of the hydraulics had stopped, he had his arms around her and was hugging her such that her feet hardly touched the pavement. “Oh, I’m so pleased to see you!” he exclaimed “Me too! Are you sure you don’t mind meeting my Mum?” “Of course not. Anyway, I want to be able to imagine where you are when we talk on...
“What happened?” asked Lauren, walking back towards Nikki, who crouched by the side of the altar. “I can’t move! Someone handcuffed my foot. Look!” Lauren felt her flesh creep as blood surged into her head. Her mouth felt dry as she looked at Nikki, her face a combination of fear and panic as she struggled to free herself, the robe spilling open in an undignified manner to show her little white knickers. The congregation seemed unconcerned about her plight and continued their conversations....
Lauren trudged in front of Nikki and Rebecca towards the house. They looked like prisoners of war, refugees from another land. They had no possessions, and shuffled along with their heads bowed, their clothing tattered. Rebecca was naked, her body filthy from her evening of abuse. Simone led them to the house and guided them through the rear door. She clicked on the light. A piercing scream from above filled the house - a man’s voice, desperately, frantically screaming. A dull thud followed,...
Lauren had barely stuffed the plates and cutlery from the evening meal into the dishwasher when the patio door squeaked open. Lauren glanced at the clock in the kitchen, wondering if one of the staff had returned for something. Emma skipped off to answer it, and Lauren was surprised to hear her high-pitched delight and the voice of Felix. As she washed her hand she smiled, hoping that he would perhaps stay for a while. "Hey, what's cookin'?" he asked, sauntering into the kitchen,...
Lauren had moved with her parents to Ocascola in February last year. Starting at a new school had been hard. She was not good at making friends, she knew that. She was a very private person and she thought a lot more about life then the other kids seemed to do. They only cared about action movies, hamburgers and beer. Lauren loved poetry, philosophy and religion. She wanted to know more about life then the superficial crap that the American youth seemed so wrapped up in. And so did Scott. Scott...
I moved off Lauren to lie between the two girls and drew them close with my arms. "So how long have you two been planning this?" I asked. "Um ... about two and a half months, Dad," said Ruth. "Lauren sort of weaselled out of me what we were doing in a moment of weakness." "I did not!" squeaked Lauren. "And anyway, I do not weasel!" "Well, you could have caused us quite a few problems Ruth, had Lauren been a little less discreet," I replied. "Oh, I thought what you were doing...
Sunday 12th July Mike was very proud of himself, having purchased ten condoms without having to ask for twenty-seven other things beforehand, without dropping his money at the till, and without blushing too profusely. Indeed, a triumph and milestone in his life. He bounced along, whistling and looking at the mountains either side of the valley, and considered himself very fortunate to be home with two pretty girls who were so keen to learn. Which brought him to his senses. He was intrigued...
By about four o'clock that afternoon, Lauren was exhausted. She shuffled off the side of the road and flopped down in the dirt. Jamie and Emma followed, glad to sit for a moment. Beads of sweat clung to their faces, ready to trace their features, clean paths through the dust and grime. Lauren hated the feeling of dirt, the heat compounding her distaste and causing her to wonder if staying in San Falino would have been the right decision. Switzerland would never have had such an exodus of...
The door was locked. Christina knew I was gone, and she knew it was raining, and she knew it was gusting fierce wind, and yet the door was locked. I knocked. Just hard enough to let her know I was upset with her. Another moment’s pause. I knocked again, harder this time. Finally the door came open, and I scuttled inside. ‘Where have you been?’ It was nearly seven already. ‘I took a walk. In the rain.’ Sarcasm is my only friend. Besides Lauren, I suppose. I scrambled to the bathroom to finally...
