F&C Book 4

August 3rd , continued: Recapping Four Years.

Jaunita(Gloria) was knelt behind me with my head on her lap and her hands at my temples, Cathy was next to her on the left, my girls on the oppsite side with Grace, and the others completing the circle. What ever little silence there was did not last long as the bickering began to start.

Jaunita(Gloria) was concentrating hard to try and get into my thoughts and mind but it was not there, giving her the worst of possibilities.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?", Jaunita(Gloria) started to yell as she looked up to Jaunita.

"He fucking deserved it...", Jaunita taunted her back.

"YOU KILLED HIM- HOW DID HE DESERVED THAT?", Jaunita(Gloria) yells back.

"Jaunita(Gloria)...", Cathy called to her silently to get her attention. At the same time, Jaunita answers her, "He's Not Dead- He's still breathing... He's just sleeping it off..."

"YOU LISTEN HERE- BITCH- HE AND I SHARE A PSYCHIC BOND- SO I KNOW WHEN HE IS AWAKE AND WHEN HE IS SLEEPING! EVEN WHEN HE SHUTS ME OUT I CAN SENSE SOMETHING! AND RIGHT NOW I SENSE NOTHING!", Jaunita(Gloria) shouted hysterically.

"Yeah... like you two have something...", Jaunita started to say.

"Uhm.. Jaun-Jaun... they do.", Denise turned to her.

"What do you mean they do?", Jaunita asks her.

"EXPLAIN IT TO HER- DAMN IT!", Jaunita(Gloria) shouted.

"Uhm... Jaun-Jaun... Jaunita(Gloria) there is telepathic like he is, and I am through him though I'm empathic otherwise. So, between the two of them, they are constantly in each other's minds all the time. So if there is something wrong with him- she would know first.", Denise tried to explain.

"Eh... so why haven't they went out or screwed each other...?", Jaunita asks.

"What makes you think that she hasn't?", Denise asks.

"Because she's a virgin...", Jaunita stated.

"Denise... don't go there...", Cathy stated to her.

"I'm just trying to explain...", Denise started to explain.

"Well, I'm saying not too. Somethings are better left unsaid.", Cathy tells her.

Denise just stares at Cathy for a moment.

"You mean that... Gutich, and Jaunita(Gloria)... No Way!", Jaunita stated.

Kevin started to chuckle a bit, before letting out, "Way To Go- GUTICH!"

All the girls turn to face Kevin, even John looked at him unapprovingly. Kevin slowly took a step back and behind his girlfriend Jaunita.

"I really don't care what you think... whether I'm a virgin or not does not matter, what does is him... because without him, some of us would not be here right now...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to explain.

"Oh, so you're saying that he is our savior... All Hail Gutich, Our Mighty God!", Jaunita mocked back at her.

"Why don't you think about all those many times that he stopped Todd from Killing Kevin!", Jaunita(Gloria) shouted out at her, her southern accent making itself known as she spoke.

"Todd Would not Have Done That...", Jaunita stated.

"Think what you like to think, girl- But I was there with my sisters a last month when Fernando threw a gun into the river at the Prominard... Todd's gun, that he was going to use on you- Kevin...", Cathy stated .

"You lie...", Jaunita stated outloud.

"No- She's right. I heard something about that... From Raul of all people.", Denise stated.

"And how did he know about this?", Jaunita asks.

"He was across the street in the park when Gutch got jumped by Randal, Todd and two other guys...", Denise stated.

"That would be his brothers Tyrone and James.", Cathy added.

Denise looked at Cathy, disapproving that she interupted her, "...Anyways, Todd pulled out a gun on Gutich..."

"No Way...!", Jaunita exclaimed, "That could have been Randal's Gun!"

"Randal is in the military... Cathy, what type of gun was it?", John stated and then asked.

"It was one of those that the police uses- you know, with that part that hold the bullets in the midddle that spins around...", Cathy answered.

"A revolver?", John asks, then adding, "Not one of these...?", as he pulls out a gun from his back. It was a colt .45 automatic.

"I TOLD YOU TO KEEP THAT THING HOME!", Denise yells at him.

"Actually, this is Randal's gun. I took it from him before the hospital staff looked him over.", John answered.

"Give it to me...", Cathy stated as she reached out to him. John fiddled around with the gun, removing the magazine and bullet from its chamber, and making sure that the safety was on before handing it to her. She continues after the weapon was handed to her, "No, it was nothing like this.", as she reached for her bag and places it inside before looking at it for a while.

"So Todd had a gun and Gutich got it threw it in the river...", John stated, "Man,.... Kevin, I think you owe him a dinner or something..."

"No way! You ever seen him eat?", Kevin stated.

"I fed him before on numberous occassions.", John answered.

"And all those other times Todd had a knife... which if it wasn't for Gutich steping into those fights you and him had, Todd would have stabbed you...", Cathy explained.

"Todd would not have had a chance...", Kevin started to say.

"No, really? Why not ask school security, and ask about the knife collection that they had started from him alone...", Cathy explained.

"Todd would not have stabbed Kevin, Todd fights fair.", Jaunita stated.

Denise started to laugh out loud.

"Whats so funny?", Jaunita asks.

"What you said- Todd fighting a fair fight!", Denise stated as she stopped laughing for a second to say it. "One time Todd took out some brass knuckles to take on Gutich, and as you know- he lost that one too!"

"I fail to see the humor in that...", Cathy stated.

"What about that time when that gang was mugging students in the halls in Tech? When they got to him, they were all sent to the hospital across the street... and Gutich spent the day explaining to security what he was doing in the halls without a pass.", Denise stated.

"Security always had something against Fernando. Yet he was legit because of his handicap pass...", Cathy stated.

"Look, there isn't anyone in this group, if not the school, that owes him...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to say.

"Yeah... how many had to die before Gutich stepped in to deal with that chinese gang problem in Tech?", John stated.

"Gutich stepped in because Mr. Bucatto made us all into a target.", Cathy stated.

"How so?", John asked.

"While Denise there was trying to over throw Fernando as Shortfellow President, Mr. Bucatto stepped in and made a deal with him to restore our records so we would graduate on time. But Mr. Bucatto was stupid, and brought that chinese girl the gang wanted to kill with him, and they knew that we were going to be involved somehow. So if Fernando would have not agreed, we would have been all killed on Dekalb Avenue, because that idiot principal assiocated the girl with us!", Cathy stated.

"I was just trying to get things right so that we could all gradute on time!", Denise stated in self defense.

"And how would you have achieve this? The student council already decided against us, and only the prinicipal could have over turned it...", Cathy stated, "What were you going to do- Fuck Mr. Bucatto?"

Denise stands there, crossing her arms in defience.

"Well...", Cathy stated for an answer.

"If it had to be, but only for myself, I would have.", Denise stated, adding, "I was not going to stay another year in that hell hole of a school!"

"You're a bigger whore that I thought...", Cathy stated.

"You would have done the same thing, so don't judge me...", Denise stated back.

"No I would not have. There are others ways to get a diploma.", Cathy stated.

"Enough of that!", Jaunita(Gloria) stated out loud, "I swear- you do hoes ever think about anything else than how to use sex to get what you want? I swear- you're just prostituting yourselves!"

"Then what good is sex if you cant get what you want out of it?", Denise asks.

A silent growl could be heard from John.

"What about Love? Or companionship? Sharing that intmacy with somebody you care for?", Jaunita(Gloria) stated in questions.

Both Denise and Jaunita started to laugh, while the rest of the girls turn to face them disapprovingly. They started to quiet down, once they noticed John and Kevin started to walk away from the group.

"Wait...!", Denise shouted out to John.

"Stay right where you are...", Jaunita(Gloria) commanded at them. Both Denise and Jaunita seemed frozen in their tracks. "They have a right to walk away.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated to them, "If you weren't so busy being whores, they would not have walked away."

"So you and Gutich fucked because of 'love, companionship and sharing intmacy'... Yeah right!", Jaunita stated back.

"Daddy is not like that...", Rachel stated loudly.

"Rachel!", Grace shouted out.

"No, really, Daddy would not have sex with some girl just to fuck her. If he was just to go out and get girls just to fuck them, he could have easily. But the girls he has sex with must be so special that he would share that part of himself with them...", Rachel continued.

"You make it sould like he's some girl giving up to the one she loves...", Denise stated.

"Maybe he does, but I know that he could have, he can, but he doesn't. Hell, I have more sex than he had...", Rachel stated.

"Rachel!", Graced called her out again.

"Look- if he was not my daddy, I would fuck him... gladly too... Ever seen how big that dick of his is?", Rachel stated. Debbie nodded in agreement and then parted her fingers far apart, though either unclear or exaggerating my size, making a space of over 14 inches or more between her fingers.

Denise and Jaunita stare at the distance between Debbie's fingers, dropping their jaws in disbelief. "No way!", Denise stated out loud.

"You better believe it girl...", Cathy stated, "Haven't you heard of the rumours about how big he was from the girls in his swimming class?"

"I've heard romours, but I never believed them...", Jaunita, stated.

"Why did you think I had to fight off Evadney all the time?", Cathy stated, "...that Bitch wanted him in a bad way..."

"Wait- I sat on his lap many times, and I never felt anything as big as you are so saying against my butt...", Denise stated.

"How could you- you got no ass.", Jaunita said to mock her.

All Denise could do was turn to her angrily.

"You did not felt anything, because he was not excited enough to get a rise from you...", Cathy answered her.

"He thinks of you as his sister...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Well, since he's out cold, he would not mind if we check it out for ourselves...", Denise stated as she started to kneel down next to me and reaching for my bathing suit.

Rachel grabbed her hands and pulled them away from me, at the same time Cathy had drawn out Randal's gun and aimed it to her forehead.

"Slowly get away from him.", Cathy stated to Denise angrily.

"But...", Denise tried to say.

"No Buts Woman- Get Away From Him!", Cathy stated.

"Do you actually fuck your brother?", Rachel stated, "I bet you do,... but you are not going to touch my father!"

Debbie follows with a, "Yeah!", as she rubs a clenched fist in her hand.

"You're messing with the wrong guy- Denise...", Cathy stated.

"Let the bitch go... so she can leave", Jaunita(Gloria) said tiredly, "I want Jaunita to undo what she has done..."

Even though all attention was focused at Denise, everyone turns to Jaunita for a moment.

"Now explain how you did it...", Jaunita(Gloria) demanded from Jaunita.

"I don't need to explain anything to anyone.", Jaunita tells her.

"You do not want to find out the extent of my abilities... just consider that I am Fernando's equal with it comes to those things.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"You're not that powerful...", Denise stated outloud.

"You still here- woman? I told you to leave!", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"But...", Denise stated.

"You heard your elder.... Now leave...", Cathy stated.

Grace reached from behind, putting her hand under Denise's armpit and helps her up. With a push, Denise starts to walk away from us. Rachel walks behind her, Debbie following behind her sister, and Grace behind them all.

Jaunita(Gloria) looks up at Jaunita angrily, saying, "Let me explain something to you, wench... The reason why I do not show off the extent of my powers is because of my friend here (as she points at Cathy). I was there with her on the day she was gang raped, and she sacrificed herself to save me, and I will forever owe her for that..."

"What does that have to do with anything?", Jaunita mockingly stated.

"Listen bitch- and listen good... I was only a few dozen yards away hiding in the bushes and hoping that they would not find me. But while they were gang raping Cathy, I felt everything they did to her, sensed how she was scared even though she tried to fight back, and knew what she was going through because I was in her mind at the time... and I did not disconnect... and I was there with her, in her mind when it happened to her. So I know how it is to be raped, even though I was never touched in that way, because her memories of that day are also forever part of me.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"But you said before that you and him....", Jaunita started to say.

"Never mind about me and Fernando!... I'm telling you that because of that day so long ago, I swore that I would keep my abilitiies toned down to a minimum, only sharing a bond between me and her... then one day- he came to school and messed everything up for all of us.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"So you agree that he messed everything up...", Jaunita started to say.

"You're not listening.... Only hearing what you want to hear, bitch...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated, "Now, if you want the full extent of my powers to lash out in that little brain in your little head- then get up and walk away and I'll make you into a quivering retard in the halls of Bellview. Or you could undo your spell and restore Fernando back to life."

"He's not dead... he's alive and breathing...", Jaunita said.

"HE'S BRAIN DEAD- YOU FUCKING WITCH! WHAT PART OF 'BRAIN DEAD' DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!!!", Juanita(Gloria) yelled out loud.

"How can he be brain dead?", Jaunita asks.

"I sense no brain activity- bitch.", Jaunita(Gloria) said as she reaches over to Cathy and take the gun from her, and aims it at Juanita. "Now undo what you did- or else join him... At least I'll gladly take him to the hospital, but they'll find your rotting ass here in the sand."

"Jaunita... I swear, if what Jaunita(Gloria) says is true about Fernando being brain dead- I will kill you if you do nothing. He saved your life on many occassions, most of them you were not aware of. You owe him.", Cathy started to say, "Now, I know nothing about magic, nor believe in it- neither does my friend, so your spells will not work on us. But he does believe because he was raised learning about it, and since he believes- what ever you did, effected him. But I do know that what ever spell that can be created, there is a counter spell to reverse it. Now undo it."

"I did not do anything...", Jaunita started to say quietly.

"Then prepare to die- Bitch...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"No- wait...", Cathy stated as she moved her arm to push away the gun from Jaunita(Gloria)'s aim. "What did you mean- you did nothing?"

"I did not do anything... just merely wished that he was no longer a problem to us...", Jaunita stated.

"So you wished it... Then wish it that things be normal again.", Cathy stated.

"I don't know if I can...", Jaunita stated.

"You better do more than try- you better succeed...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"But...", Jaunita started to say.

"NO BUTS!", Both Cathy and Jaunita(Gloria ) yelled out.

Jaunita kneels down besides me and leans over, placing her forehead against mine as she takes hold of my hands. We all remained quiet for several minutes, even after the rest of the group started to regather together. After a very long while, Jaunita gets back up, putting my arms crossed by the wrists on my chest.

"I cant do anything more...", Jaunita stated as she rubs the red spot on her forehead that was pressed against mine.

Juanita(Gloria) closes her eyes and concentrates for a second befor reopenning her eyes. "You did nothing...", she says quietly.

"I tried my best...", Juanita stated.

"Denise- leave, and take Jaunita with you...", Cathy stated.

"But...", Denise started to argue back.

"No Buts...", John tells her as he grabs her by the arm and starts to pull her away.

"You two got a lot to answer.", Kevin stated as he grabs Jaunita by the arm and escorts her behind John.

The girls stared at them as they left, entering the concrete broadwalk before entering the base. Soon they would be out of sight and hearing range.

Cathy lets out a sigh of relief, as does Jaunita(Gloria).

"Now what?", Rachel stated.

"Time for you to go home...", I quieted said, as I rubbed the side of my temple with my hand, followed by a quiet "ow..."

"What was all that about?", Grace stated.

"It was a little something to teach them a lesson, but most of all, something for Randal... I wanted him to think that Fernando's either dead or seriously hurt to not be a threat to our marriage again.", Cathy stated.

"I can see how the Randal part could work, even though you would spend too much time at the hospital visiting him... but to teach a lesson?", Grace asked.

"Jaunita(Gloria)?", I asked.

"Both Denise and Jaunita needed to be taught a lesson... one on many levels...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to explain.

"Did you ever had sex with Gutch?", Rachel asks, interupting her.

"Rachel!", both Grace and Cathy yelled at her.

Jaunita(Gloria) chuckled for a bit before answering with a smile, "No, but we gotten close to doing it..."

"Ok, so you're still a virgin...", Rachel stated, "good..."

"What do you mean by that?", Jaunita(Gloria) asked.

"Well, it getting confusing, having too many make believe mommies for our make believe daddy...", Rachel explained.

"Yeah...", Debbie added.

"Isn't he your god-father or something like that...?", Jaunita(Gloria) asked.

"Well, he's more than that...", Rachel started to say.

"A lot more...", Debbie adds.

"Jaunita(Gloria)...", I started to ask.

"What is it...?", Jaunitas(Gloria) asks.

"Bag... Aspirin... Now...", I tell her.

As Jaunita(Gloria) reaches for my bag and goes through its contents, Grace asks, "You're not answering my question."

"Well, with Denise its obvious-", Cathy started to explain, "the bitch wants power. She wants to rule this little group for some unknown god damn reason..."

"Why you say that?", Grace asks.

"This group at its core is just the...", as Cathy counts on her fingers, quietly mentioning names as she does, "...about ten of us. But as a whole, there is over a couple of hundred Shortfellows."

"Shortfellows?", Grace asks. Jaunita(Gloria) hands me my small bottle of aspirin, and looks around for something for me to drink it with.

"Ok... looks like I have to explain everything then...", Cathy stated.

"The Shortfellows are, or were, a high school club where we explore other and more ancient methods of doing things. Writing becomes calligraphy; fighting and self defense are studied in their art forms; music, dance and story telling are explored to their roots. Methods of production and manufacture are also studied, because the future of man lies in his past...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to say as she reaches over for a can of pepsi not far away from where I was sitting before and gives it to me when she finds it 1/2 full. I take the pills and a swig from the can of soda, then relax and close my eyes to let them do their work.

"You sound like you recited from some brouchure.", Grace stated.

"Well, that's what it says in the student handbook about us in its club listing.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"It still does not answer my question, why would she want to be queen of this group?", Grace asks.

"Well...", Cathy started to say.

"Because we are all super-powered in one form or another.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"That's not quite it, Jaun...", Cathy started to say.

"Then whats the answer?, Jaunita(Gloria) asked.

"It's the ShortFellow Secret... The treasury of large amounts of cash that is given to the leading members of the group every year.", Cathy answered.

"But Fernando had redistributed the cash to everyone.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Not quite- the money's in investment and trust funds, and are to be given to the members as needed.", Cathy stated.

"So... with all this money... how much are we talking about?", Grace started to say before switching into a question.

"Under a million, I don't know how much exactly.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

Grace looks at her in disbief, jaw dropping with silent awe when she was about to put in a reply. Eventually she recomposes herself to make her comment, "Under a million? Its obvious- fuck all that super power mumbo-jumbo shit- she's after the money!"

"Its not that simple, Grace.", I tell her, "Its been like this since before she found out about the money. Since probably before I transferred to the school and met everyone and became part of this crazy group. Look- the Shortfellows were created to go against all the other snob groups of the school: Arista, The SOSses, The Longfellows, many others- all exclusive groups who swear that they are above everyone and above the law."

"Above the law?", Grace asks.

"You don't know about the SOSses... Student Organized Safety... who think that because they are allowed to patrol the halls like school security, but sometimes takes it the extreme. Hitting a SOS is like hitting a teacher or School Security- with expulsion without trail or hearing being your final outcome. And they have been known to lie to get rid of students.", I explained, "That's why we were formed... to take on such groups head on."

"And under your leadership, you turned that school on its ass.", Cathy stated.

"I did what had to be done.", I tell her.

"You did not had to be the almighty left hand of god, you know. There are better ways of dealing with things.", Grace stated.

"Grace- honey, dear... please... remember September 1978. What condiction was I in?", I asked her.

"Well... you were totally blind for one. You still had problems with your back if I remember correctly.", Grace answered.

"Yes I did, needing my back brace for a couple of more months. Now, let me ask you; you know what happened to me in my first week of going to Tech?"

"Uhm... no, not that I remember.", Grace answered.

I let out a heavy sigh before answering her, "Just as soon as I got out of the train station, some gang tried to mug me. During orientation, I had some idiot SOS push me around before hitting me in the face- me- some blind handicapped kid who should not be able to defend himself..."

Cathy started to giggle, holding back the laughter that wanted to come out from those memories.

"What so funny?", Grace looked at her.

"Let Fernando finish it.", Cathy stated.

"So, what happened?", Grace asked.

"I did what I do naturally...", I stated.

"You kicked some defenseless student's ass, didn't you?", Grace answered for me.

Both Cathy and Jaunita(Gloria) broke out laughing.

"I don't find that funny, Fernando. You were a black belt martial arts expert despite your handicaps. You could have seriously hurt somebody.", Grace stated angrily.

Cathy and Jaunita(Gloria)'s laughter got louder as they both fell on the floor and started hitting it with their fists.

"OK... what's going on here...?", Grace asked.

"Grace- understand this much. I would not hit anyone unless they hit me first. Secondly- its who I beaten to a pulp that day, other than the gang members who tried to mug me...", I tried to explain to her.

"OK, tell me who this person was...", Grace stated, "...and don't spare any details."

"Alright then...", as I started to say while Cathy and Jaunita(Gloria) quieted down, "It was some guy named Chang. He was over 6ft tall, and some 200 pounds of muscle... and he was a SOS who thought he could get physically abusive with other students like me. The problem is that he got abusive... with me."

"You know you could have seriously hurt him...", Grace stated.

"HE DID!", Cathy burted out loudly before falling into a fit of laughter once again, with Jaunita(Gloria) joining her.

"I don't see how that is funny at all...", Grace stated, "...just for that, I'm loosing respect in you Fernando."

"Let me finish, Grace. Remember how I was pissed off because my injuries kept me out of the Empire State Games in Gymnastics? Well, Chang was there- and won first place for Karate, defeating some 270 opponents to do so...", I explained.

Grace just sat there, again in awed silence. Between their laughing, Cathy says, "He beaten the state karate champion into a bloody mess!" while Jaunita(Gloria) added, "Chang Never Had A Chance!"

"And that is how I met her...", I said as I turn to face Cathy, who with Jaunita(Gloria) was trying to calm down from their laughing fit. Panting for air, Cathy crawls over to be and gives me a hug and a kiss before sitting up again.

"And thank you for messing up my life for me...", Cathy then adds, before taking a deep breathe and letting it out.

"Love at first sight, I see.", Grace says to herself.

"Well, I don't know.", I tell her.

"For you it was.", Cathy stated out loud.

"It was for you too, but you did not reciprociate it for almost a year.", I tell her.

"You threw my life into a spin that I'm still trying to recover from to this day!", Cathy stated.

"But if you were to have reciprociated your feeling towards me then things would be different today.", I tell her.

"If you were to have stopped the wedding as we all planned, things would be different today.", Cathy stated, almost sounding angrily. We all turn to face her, having silence fall upon us, suddenly and totally. Cathy could only look at us back as she covered her mouth, before getting up and started to run.

With a large head start over us, I get up and start running after her. All the others could do is get up and look at the chase as it goes far into the distance.

"Those two got it bad for each other...", Grace stated quietly, though the others heard her.

"Its worse than that... a lot worse than we all may think...", Jaunita(Gloria) added.

Cathy stops running over 200 yards away from the camp, while I continue to catch up to her. She was already out of breathe, and I was beginning to tire out. Standing bent with her hands on her knees, she slowly catches her breathe as take my final steps to her. She turns to face me before trying to take another running start again. But I manage to grab her by the wrist, causing her to spin towards me. She tries to calculate her movements to slap me as I held on, but seeing her other hand raise up to hit me, I lean back as it passes by me as she continues to spin around. As she spins, she wraps herself into our arms, and I reach for the other one she tried to strike me with before and grab it before it could come around again for a second strike.

For a while, we end up in an embrace with her back to my front, and we relax in each other arms but only for a brief moment of under a second of time.

Cathy begins to cry softly, "Why, Fernando? Why did you not stop the wedding as we planned?"

"Because... I already answered that, at John's House... When we slept together that night...", I say quietly to her.

"Then tell me why again...", Cathy said as she tried to sniffle a tear away.

"Because I love you, Cathy...", I tell her.

"You would have stopped it if you do... love me...", Cathy said.

I slowly let her go, and expect to get hit for my next comment, "Because I love, Cathy. Because I know that Randal and his family of goons would be armed, and if I would have stopped the marriage and taken you away, you or I would have been shot... and letting that happen would have destroyed the both of us... That is why, Cathy... because I love you that much that I had to walk away from you to save us."

Cathy slowly turns to face me, wiping a tear from under her eye as she looks up at me. "You still love me even though I'm married to somebody else?", she asks.

"Didn't that night at John's house mean anything to you?", I ask.

"It meant a lot...", she started to say.

"Cathy, to me you're not Mrs. Chislom... you're still Miss Townsend to me. And whether or not we continue on as friends or lovers, all I care about is that you are safe and happy. If I can add to it, then I would do my best for you.", I try to explain to her.

"What if you marry somebody else, would you still be there for me?", she asks.

"Who is out there for me? Seriously...", I asked.

"Jaunita(Gloria), for one.", she answered.

"Its not going to work for us...", I tell her.

"Why not?", she asks.

"Because I love you too.", I answered.

"I love you also, but I'm married to Randal.", she states.

"You were forced to marry him due to some promise your families had. I have no such thing over my head to marry Jaunita(Gloria).", I reiterated.

"My marrying Randal could have been stopped a long time ago, only if I had some assurence...", Cathy started to say.

"You marrying Randal could not have been stopped, its plain and simple- that it is... was something that was bigger than you can say it was. Look- Remember when Jose was here- hell, until he showed up at my door way, I did not know that I had a twin living a separate life under my shadow. Families have a way of keeping secrets from each other and force its members to do things that people just do not normally do. Its that simple. And no matter what, or how this ends, I still love you...", I explained.

She takes a step towards me, putting her arms around me and rest her head against my chest, "I love you too... I just don't know what to do."

"Then...", I started to say.

"Fernando, uhm... how is Jose?", Cathy asks, interupting me.

"Jose? I do not know. Still married, still screwing both his wife and her sister. Still driving an ambulance and living in the house that one day will be mine, but other than that- I do not know. He does not write to me, nor I to him. He does not exist in my world... you see what I mean about family holding secrets?", I answer her.

"I guess so.", she says.

"Do you want to go back?", I ask after a bit of moment of silence between us.

"I rather stay here with you.", Cathy says.

"My girls got to get home, and I'm not sure if Grace knows the way home from here.", I tell her.

"If she is anything like us, she's resourceful enough to find her way home from anywhere in this city.", she stated.

"I don't want them lost... especially my little girls.", I tell her.

"Then... how about a couple of minutes before you go...?", Cathy then asks.

I paused for a moment, but not to think about it, but to give her a bit more time then what she asked before answering, "Oh, alright."

She holds onto me, remaining silent for the time we were there. I let out a sigh and close my eyes as I slowly reached around her with my arms.

Somehow my brain falls into a place between sleep and consciousness, not exactly in a cat napping mode but much of it shutting down to a slower state. If given a place to lay down, I would actually go to sleep. My heart however keeps beating strongly, despite its slow rate and low pressure, but a little more than normal. As to how long this was going on, I lost all track of time while this is happening.

Cathy giggles a bit before trying to get my attention, "Hey... wake up..."

"Huh?", was the only thing I could say in this 1/2 sleepy state.

"I can guess what you were dreaming about, sleepyhead...", she says with a smile.

"Huh... what are you talking about, Cathy... I'm tired but don't know why...", I tell her.

She presses her groin against mine lightly, "Do I have to worry about complying to wifely duties every morning if I was married to you?", as she smiled at me. All I could do is just squint back at her.

"Again, what are you talking about?", I ask her, being a little more awake than before. Unfortunately this raises my blood pressure much higher.

"I'm talking about this...", as she presses her groin harder against mine, and now I can feel the erection I had as she pressed it against me.

Since my hands were already down by her waist, I put them at her waist and pushed her away from me, "GOD NO... Why Here, Why Now?", I try to hold back from yelling. Cathy tries hard not to laugh, but at least keeps it down to a small chuckle.

After recomposing herself, she puts her left arm around my waist to my back and slowly steps closer to me, but leaving a some space between us, looking down at my groin for a moment before looking back up at me. "Did little ole me did that to you?", she says in a toying childish voice.

"Please Cathy, not here... not now...", I tell her.

Continue to toy around, she tried to look innocently, biting on her lower lip before saying, "I'm sorry mister, I did not mean to do that to you..." Then I felt her put her free hand against me down there.

"Cathy, just.... Whoa... CUT THAT OUT!", I had to jump back to get away from her.

"Alright, I'm sorry Fernando, I'll stop....", she says in a much more normal tone. "But you sure get excited too easily."

I take another step and before trying to sit down on the sand. Soon I put my face into my hands and let out a deep sigh. Cathy walks up to me and kneels in front of me. "Now is not the time or place to fool around...", I tell her.

"I was just playing with you...", Cathy started to say with some concern.

"I was not...", I started to say.

"I know... that's why I stopped.", she said.

"Alright. Look, I need to get my girls home. Just going to drop them off at the bus stop and come back if you decide to stay.", I tell her.

"I'll be all alone out here...", Cathy started to say playfully.

"You got Jaunita(Gloria) to stay with you...", I started to say.

She gave me a soured face, like she did not wanted to be with Jaunita(Gloria).

"Whats the matter now?.... No, nevermind that- I got to get them home...", I started to say before getting up in mid-statement. "Look, lets go...", I tell her as I took her hand and started walking back to the camp. At first she hesitate, but eventually follows.

It takes us a couple of minutes to walk back to camp, where the others had waited patiently for us to return. The time spent walking there was in silence, though I am unsure as to why. I stop within 30 ft of the camp, where the others can see us. Cathy continues to walk, but notices that I stopped when she passed me. She turns around to face me, and I gently pull her towards me.

"You know, Cathy...", I started to say, at the same time relaxing the the brain patterns allowing them to freely transmit as to be picked up by Jaunita(Gloria). "A lot of times I find myself forgetting what has happened through out the day, and I hate myself for not being able to remember. But today is one of those days that I will never forget, because of what happened. Because of what was said... on my part. And I do not want you to carry an angery reason to bed with you because of me. So, what I'm trying to say, this...", I explained to her.

"I think I know where you are going with this...", Cathy said.

"Well, if you know, I do not have to say it. But I have too. Look... Cathy, I'm sorry. Sorry for saying those things about you and about you and the others on being black.", I said, then taking a deep seated sigh as she looked up at me. "I dont know, I do know where it came from. Its just that Randal has a way of releasing a deep seated anger within me that is full of prejudice and hate...", I started to explain.

"You don't have to explain, Fernando. I know what you are trying to say, and I know you are not a hateful or prejudice person. How can you be? You're more blind than I am...", she stated with a smile.

"Cathy, look... such things are with in me, I think it is within all of us. But instead of skin colour or upbringings, I'm prejudice on attitudes. And Randal irks me to that point of expressing such prejudice.... I'm... really... sorry... for expressing it, for making you and the others a target with it...", I continued.

During this Jaunita(Gloria) had made her way to us, stepping behind Cathy and waiting there as she listened. The girls tried to approach us, but Grace had told them to wait and let us solve our differences. At least they were quiet enough to hear us.

"At least you are man enough to admit you're wrong, and I forgive you for doing that.", Cathy stated.

I reach out with my other hand to hold her closer to me. She joins me in doing the same, and I close my eyes as I put my forehead against hers.

"Well, I see there is no room in there for me...", Jaunita(Gloria) complained quietly in statement.

Cathy turns around and reaches to her as Jaunita(Gloria) was about to turn and step away, taking her by the arm and pulling her towards us. The first couple of steps she stumbles and protests, not wanting to be part of this little cirle of intimacy.

Finally getting Jaunita(Gloria) together with us, Cathy chuckles a bit, before saying, "Now you can have your wish..."

"Huh?", I responded.

"You know- you want the two of us to be your girlfriends... well... wish granted.", Cathy said.

"Hey, I did not agree to any of this...", Jaunita(Gloria) protested.

"You did... back on my wedding day... you little ingrateful slut...", Cathy replied.

"HEY! I'm Not a Slut!", Jaunita(Gloria) responded.

"This is all unnecessary...", I tell them both.

"Well... if you just want to fuck her, by all means- Do her right there on the beach blanket.", Cathy added.

"Wait a minute!", I said trying to keep quiet. Jaunita(Gloria) responses with a "HEY!" Cathy steps back and pull on our arms towards the camp. Jaunita(Gloria) budges towards her direction, but I do not move unless I want to be moved and in this case I don't. I pull back, bringing us back together.

"Cathy, why must it be all the time that almost 50% of the time when we're together, it has to involve sex... I'm not complaining about the sex , but the where and when and sometimes the why...", I tell her.

"You should know the answer to that my dear.", Cathy stated.

"Well I don't.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Listen my dear- once you let him fuck that little virgin pussy of yours, you'll understand why...", Cathy tells her sarcastically.

"Cathy...", I tell her.

"Alright... Jaunita(Gloria)... what better way to express how much you love a person than in the most personal and intimate way possible, by being one with that person, by expressing the physical love with him. That's why I'm always all over him...", Cathy stated.

"I think you being pregnant has thrown your hormones out of whack and you're horny all the time...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Believe me Jaunita(Gloria), she's not.", I tell her.

"And how can you tell...", Jaunita(Gloria) asks.

"Because I'd be fucking his brains out right now if I were....", Cathy stated...

"Cathy...", I call to warn her of her words.

"Look- we're all adults, we're all high school grads... if Jaunita(Gloria) wants to be shy about her sexuality, she's going to have a hard time with it. But if she is willing to admit that sex is a part of her life- even if she remains a virgin- things would be a lot easier for her.", Cathy explains.

"What makes you think that she is shy about her sexuality?", I ask.

"I just mention the word 'COCK' and she blushes.... SEE!", Cathy says then points to a blushing Jaunita(Gloria).

"If she feels uncomfortable about it, then let her be.", I stated.

"Uncomfortable? She wanted to fuck you on my bed on my wedding day for one! And all those long talks we had about you, Fernando... this girl's been wanting you ever since you first stepped into the halls of Tech... Too bad she did not put up a fight for you, for she might have won and you two could have been happy as a coupl....", Cathy explains, stopping to wipe a tear from her eye.

"I'm happy that he did for you that no one else was able to do for you, Catherine...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"And what would that be?", Cathy asks as she sniffles and wipes a tear from the other eye.

"What would that be? Catherine... he has made you happy, for the first time since I can remember- since probably we first met, I never saw you happy until you two got together. Even though there has been more problems with your realtionship than in most- at least you two were able to work it, even if its wrong to work it out. I wish to have somebody like that one day.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"You can, right here, and now. He's yours... to keep. Because I can not anymore... not while Im married to Randal. Just do me the favor, and keep him happy as I know he will you.", Cathy tells her.

"Cathy... what are you trying to say?", I say.

"Its over between us. For your life and safety, it must end and the sooner it does the better.", Cathy says.

"No Cathy...", I tell her.

"Catherine... don't....", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"It must- as much as it hurts me, I know it hurts you. I'm just realizing how close and dangerous its gotten for you... and if it was not for some miracle- you would be dead right now. And before you get killed- it must stop.", Cathy explains.

"Please, At least until the end of school... as we promised each other.", I tell her.

"No... it must end now.", Cathy tells me.

I step back, separating from the group and stepping towards Grace and the girls. When I get within 5 feet from them, I tell Grace, "Take them home. I'll see you tonight or tomarrow...".

"Alright...", Grace answers, "everything OK other between you guys?", she asks.

"Its far from alright... which is why I must stay to set things right.", I tell her.

"No problem then.", she answers.

I lower myself to the girls' level and reach out to them, "Look, I need you two to behave while Grace takes you guys home..."

"Everything OK between you and Cathy?", Rachel asks.

"Not totally...", I answer her.

"You'll get it fixed...", Debbie asys, "...you always do."

"Thanks for that vote of encouragement...", I tell them, before being pounced upon and hugged by them at the sametime.

Whether she knows it or not, Jaunita(Gloria) projects her little conversation with Cathy for me to pick up unintentionally.

"How can he so perfect?", Cathy stated to her.

"Why do you want to lose him, or better yet, give him to me?", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"I don't want to lose him, but I know that you would love him as much as I can, and give him something that I cant.", Cathy stated.

"And pray tell what that would be? You given him everything a girl physically could give...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"You could give him stability. All I have given him was craziness. I mean- look at him. Those are not his girls, but he cares for them as they were. And without asking- he does his best to be their part time father. I don't think no one else would be able to do that, not to them or anyone else....", Cathy stated.

"Somebody like that you just don't throw away, Catherine. He loves you a whole lot. As he does me, I know, as he does them as we can see it... Look. You two can solve your issues. What ever problems you two may have, only you two can solve it.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"My only solution is to either continue my marriage with Randal or end it and go on with Fernando. One insures the safety of my family and my parents. The other means that people are going to get hurt, no matter how much Fernando tries to protect me from getting hurt. That is a price I am not willing to pay.", Cathy stated.

The girls kiss me on the cheek before separating to go with Grace, and start to head for home. I stayed in my lowered down positon as they walked away. Jaunita(Gloria) and Cathy silently approached me from behind and knelt down beside me. Cathy leans over to me and puts her head against my shoulder.

"Now what?", I ask.

"Nothing...", Cathy stated.

"Are you sure?", I asked again.

"Yeah, I'm sure.", Cathy answers.

I then slowly get up and take the couple of remaining steps to the camp, sitting down on spot on the towel by the lifeguard chair. Cathy follows and sits where she was to me before on my right. Jaunita(Gloria) walks up to me and stands by my feet for a moment. Then she raises her long skirt above her knees to kneel down on me, stradling my forelegs and using her hands on my knees to balance herself as she leans over to get closer to my face.

"Am I being set up for something?", I asked.

"Fernando!", Cathy said aloud as she sat up to stare at me.

"I swear...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"It just seems to me that I am being set up...", I tell them.

"What makes you say that?", Jaunita asks.

"What makes me say that, gee? Could it be you're being sexually provocative in front of Cathy when you usually are not when we are alone?", I explained.

"Well, I'm not... I just want to get comfortable with you...", she saids.

"Look, all I got on is a bathing suit. And you... well, you're fully dressed...", I try to add.

"So you think that because I'm stradling you with my dress over you, that something may happened between us, in front of an audience?", Jaunita(Gloria) asks. Cathy giggles for a bit, trying to hold back herself from beaking out in laughter.

"Jaunita(Gloria) only my bathing suit and your panties stop us from going all the way... well that and you and I are not going to take it that far.", I answered her.

"Alright, alright... you caught us...", Cathy started to say, "Yeah, we're trying to set you up... with her..."

"Why?", I ask.

"You know why...", Cathy answers.

"Besides that which we spoke about?", I tell her. "Look... no offense to you Jaunita(Gloria), not no matter how good her pussy is, is not going to make me change my mind about... HMMPH!" I started to say to Cathy, but was interrupted by Jaunita(Gloria)'s attempt to passonately kiss me. Worse of all, to get over from where she was at, she closes her legs at the knees, but keeps her ankles stradling me, putting most of her weight on my knees and causing me a lot of pain. Making it worse was that she shifted her right leg on mine until her knee rests on my groin, putting more than bareble pressure there. Though I managed to get my hands on her shoulders, she holds on to me tighter to keep from me separating us, until I send her an anatomical relay of what she was doing to me- sending a shockwave of pain to her. She jumps back to the position she was before, but putting a lot less pressure on my legs than before.

"I'm sorry Fernando...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to say.

"Its alright...", I started to say before Cathy interupts me.

"Now why are you appologizing to him?", Cathy asks.

"Uhm... I was hurting him...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to explain.

"I don't see how... unless... you kneed him in the balls or something?", Cathy asks.

"Well, yeah... uhm, sorta...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to say.

Cathy literally grabs her own face and says to herself, though she could be heard by us all, "Girl... you don't pounce and kiss a guy and at the same time knee him in the family jewels!" Then she leans over to me, putting her hand on Jaunita(Gloria)'s shoulder and gives her a hard shove. "You cant have him if you are going to 'accidentally' abuse him!", Cathy then says.

"I'm alright, Cahty...", I started to say.

"No you're not, now shut up!", Cathy yells at me before turning her attention back to Jaunita(Gloria). "We cant be having accidents like that- especially with him! You know- you could have bruised him or worse!", Cathy continues her anger with Jaunita(Gloria).

"Cathy... I'm not hurt! Ok?", I tell her.

"How would you know- you wont until you either go check your self or get ready for some action and are in pain even more! Or worse- you'll be shooting out blood instead of sperm!", Cathy yells back at me.

"CATHY!", I yelled back at her. Just thinking of those prospects sickens me.

"Seriously, you need to be checked out or see a doctor.", Cathy saids. Jaunita(Gloria) sits there in shock and awe, unsure how to handle this.

I just sit back against the Lifeguard chair, wanting the sands to swallow me whole in one single gulp. I hate it when Cathy goes onto her extremes when it comes to my health.

"Are you going to get yourself checked out?", Cathy asks in her semi-hysterical tone.

"I will do what must be done when it concerns me down there...", I tell her.

"You Promise....?", Cathy asks.

"I'll be fine, Cathy!", I tell her.

"Maybe I should have you check on him...", Cathy turns to Jaunita(Gloria) and tells her quietly.

"Huh.... What? How?!!", Jaunita(Gloria) answers her.

"God- Jaunita(Gloria), you could not be that much of a virgin!", Cathy tells her.

"I think such things should be left alone in private...", Jaunita(Gloria) replies.

"Oh sure, like all those games of gynogologists were held in private... girl, 1/2 the school knew about you being an activie participant!", Cathy stated out loud.

"It was a game, my clothes stayed on and I never spread openned my legs... OK! Hell, you were there for a couple of sessions, so you know I was never touched!"

"I wonder about the other sessions when you were alone...", Cathy stated, "You and 4 or 5 other guys in the room with you..."

"Fernando Was The Gynogoloist!", Jaunita(Gloria) shouted at her, "He Made Sure The Others Would Not Get Stupid And Do Something They would Regret Later On!"

Cathy looks at her, or past her to check the area around us before saying, "Well, how about those few times he slept with you in your room?!! I know he sleeps naked...", Cathy stated.

"No he did not sleep naked; he sleeps in his underwear...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated to her.

"And what about you?", Cathy asked her, almost demending for an answer.

"I had my nightie on... but having him in bed with me got too hot, so I stripped down to my panties and that was it.", Jaunita(Gloria) answered.

"And during the night- nothing happened between the two of you?", Cathy stated.

"I was asleep the whole time...", I said quietly.

"Oh you shut up!", Cathy yells, but not turning to face me.

"Like he said, nothing happened because he was asleep the whole time...", Jaunita(Gloria) answered.

"Oh, like you did not try to take advantage of him and try to take a peek at what he had...", Cathy, stated.

"Are you questioning my virginity? Is that it?", Jaunita(Gloria) asked, showing some anger in her voice.

"Only the extent of it...", Cathy stated.

"Alright, if you want to know... Cathy- I took a peek at what he had. Then I took out some porn magazines I masterbate to and compared to some of the pictures while he slept. Finding that he was bigger than what the guys had in those pictures- I looked at him and at some of the girls who were doing things orally with one of the guys penises, and after reading the description- I kissed his penis before putting his head into my mouth and sucked it for a while... is that what you wanted to know, Cathy?!!", Jaunita(Gloria) said out loud to her.

"I Knew It! You were more friendlier with him after that night...", Cathy said loudly.

"Wait a minute!", I stated in protest.

"Furthermore, after sucking him for a while and looking at the fuck pictures, I was getting horny, so I put my hand down on me to masterbate, but then thought about it- 'Jaun my girl- here you have an oppertuntity to finally get what you wanted all these years... and he's a lot bigger than anything you seen before...', so I took off my panties, stradled him and slowly lowered my pussy on his hard cock, and fucked him while he slept there! GOD He Was Big! And Though It Hurted to Get Him In Me At First, I Was Coming Before I Could Have Had Him All The Way Me After Working Him A Couple Of Strokes! And the Best Part Was When He Shot Off His Load Of Sperm In Me- Filling Me Up In Places I Did Not Know I Had Places!... There You Satisfied!!?...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated to Cathy angrily.

I just sat there, with my face in my hands, shaking my head in disbelief.

"I should have known...", Cathy stated.

"And one more thing- Catherine... I got pregnant because of what I did, so I got an abortion, like everyone else...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"JAUNITA(GLORIA)!", I shouted at her.

"You did...?", Cathy asks.

"Yes, I did...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated, "I could not bare having to this put over his head, so I had it done, even though I knew it was wrong...", shedding a tear in the end.

"Wow... and I though my family was bad in keeping secrets... this is up there with who killed Kennedy.", Cathy said to herself.

"And Cathy... I'm pregnant with his child again...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"When? How!... Wait- I know how, but... HOW? WHERE!", Cathy started asking.

"When- right after of graduation, when we all went home... Since you were too busy with celebrating with Randal and your family, and I have nobody and he was depressed as it is... so we went to my place and fucked the whole day away.... God he was good!", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Cathy- I promise we didn't...", I started to interject.

"Oh you shut up! Are you sure you're pregnant?" Cathy says to me angrily before asking Jaunita(Gloria).

"Well, this makes it the third month that I have not had my period, so I must be pregnant...", Jaunita(Gloria) explained.

'Jaunita(Gloria), What Are you Doing!' I send her a telepathic message.

"You got to make sure, Jaunita(Gloria)... and then we find out that you are, you are going to marry her!", Cathy stated to Jaunita(Gloria) before turning to me.

"Cathy!!!", I started to tell her.

"Don't Cathy Me... How Dare You Take Adavantage of this church going girl!", Cathy sneered at me. Jaunita(Gloria) leaned over to her and started crying. Cathy reaches over to hold her as she cried, "There, there... I swear, I'll make sure that he does you right, Jaunita(Gloria). Don't you worry about a thing..."

I sit there quietly, being accused of doing everything everyone wanted me of doing but never did, and now being cursed for it. With Jaunita(Gloria) still on my legs, I could not get up to leave this whole situation.

Then Cathy turns to me, "I Better Not See You Tomarrow At School... In Fact, I Don't Want To See You At All... Not Ever!"

"But...", I started to say to her.

"No Butts! How Dare You Take Advantage Of Jaunita(Gloria)! I Thought You Were Better Than This!", Cathy stated.

"Cathy... Its not his fault... really... forgive him, please...", Jaunita(Gloria) said.

"Why should I forgive him? He's a dog just like any other guy...", Cathy stated.

"Cathy... really...", as Jaunita(Gloria) sat up and wiped her tears away, "Nothing Happened- I'm Not Pregnant, And Nothing Ever Happened Between Us! All I Said Was All A Lie!"

Cathy dropped her jaw in disbelief.

"I Swear, Catherine! You Hear What You Want To Hear And Not What Is Being Said!", Jaunita(Gloria) yells at her. Then she pushes Cathy away from her, and makes her way towards, stradling me against my groin and reaching out to hold me by the shoulders. I have little recourse but to let it happen, as she leans against me as she holds me. "I'm sorry Fernando... But I had to do that... forgive me... please.", Jaunita says quietly to me.

I continue to sit there, she was leaning against me with her legs stradled across my waist, and I fight back the urges of 'If I were alone with you, girl...' as material of her panties rubbed up against my bathing suit. I wanted too but at the same time I did not wanted to, and being in conflict with myself is one situation I did not like to be in. But lately, its been a state of mind that I have been in since the start of summer school. Seeing that I have not moved, she takes my hand off the towel and puts it behind her waist.

"Jaunita(Gloria), you are making me uncomfortable...", I stated to her.

"I am? How?", Jaunita(Gloria) asks with a smile.

"Girl, I swear...", I first said to myself, continuing louder, "You rubbing your crotch against mine is getting me excited, in case you did not noticed down there!..."

"I am... I mean, you are?", Jaunita(Gloria) stated coyfully and playfully innocent.

I just drop my hand from behind her waist and take a deep sigh.

"But, Fernando, isn't this what you wanted? You told me yourself that you wanted to fuck Jaunita(Gloria)'s brains out in order for her to be your girl friend first.", Cathy leaned over to me. "Are you chickening out?', she then added.

"Sometimes a guy does not want that kind of attention, you know!", I tell her.

"Oh, I though guys were horny all the time, wanting sex whenever, however they can get it...", Cathy stated, mocking my tone.

"Hmm... I can tell you that he's very horny right now...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated, as she slowly gyrated her hips against my groin as she pushed down harder against my shoulders.

Not being able to do much about it, I quietly complained to myself, "If I were a girl, this would be considered as rape."

"Now you know what I went through. Besides, nobody here is forcing sex on you...", Cathy stated to me.

"What did I do to deserve this?", I ask.

"Well, you're cute, handsome, strong, brave, daring...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to list off.

"You're not counting his penis size in that list?", Cathy interupts her.

"I was getting to that.... Oh yeah...", Jaunita(Gloria) answers her, continueing to grind her hips against me, "...yeah... nice... hard... big... Oh god..."

"JAUNITA(GLORIA)!" I yelled at her.

Jaunita(Gloria) stops enjoying herself at my expense for a moment, freezing in place against me, during which nobody said a word. She looks intomy eyes, trying to figure out that I was thinking even though I had shut her out of my mind for most of the day. I did not want to let her know that I was holding back the urges of doing her right then and there; that I was at my limit of patience and control and if she would continue, that I would take her whether she wanted too or not- and at times like this, she might want too, but is more like playing around to see far it can go without taking it to the next level. In the past we may have been through this many times before, but never with me on a short burning fuse, holding back so much more than just urges or anger, but perhaps having the world's problems to fall upon my shoulders.

"Jaunita(Gloria)...", I began to tell her quietly, "I'm not playing around. Please stop before one of us gets hurt and we both regret what may happen."

She continues to stare at me, then starts to draw herself back onto my lap and off my groin. I can sense that she wants to appologize, but I throw her a telepathic message not to.

Cathy begins to understand as well as to what was going on. Together we sit there silently. At least for my, my blood pressure drops to where I can lose my erection. As I sit back against the chair, I put my arm over my eyes, tilting my head back against the lifeguard chair's frame.

"I think its getting late, we should be going home...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated almost quietly.

"You can go, I am going to stay.", I tell her and Cathy.

"You don't want to leave with us?", Cathy asked.

"No,... I just got a lot on my mind that I have to sort out.", I answer her.

"Then I wont leave without you...", Cathy stated.

"What?", I let out in reaction to her statement.

"I have to be somebody's wife...", Cathy stated, "why not to him?"

"What a sad state of affairs, you must be in, Catherine.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Now Miss Strickland... must you say that?", Cathy asks her.

"Because, Mrs Chislom, you are married to somebody else.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Now, why you had to go do that for?", Cathy asks emotionally.

"Because it's the truth for one. And You should not be hawking after Fernando, for another.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"You of all people should know the situation I'm in.", Cathy argued back at her.

"Situation of not, you know better.", Jaunita(Gloria) tells her.

"Then you tell me- that recourse does a wife has to a cheating husband?", Cathy asks her.

"Do unto others as others as done to you...", I stated.

"Fernando! You're Not Helping!", Jaunita(Gloria) shouted back at me.

"No he is not, but he is right!", Cathy stated back to Jaunita(Gloria).

"So, you are going to cheat on your husband because your husband cheats on you, and Fernando here is going to be your pawn in this scheme...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"You make it sound so ugly... you know that!", Cathy yelled at her.

"I'm just saying it as I see it.", Jaunita(Gloria) tells her.

"And what about you? Trying to steal another woman's man?", Cathy tells her.

"Steal who, you mean Fernando? He's free to be with anyone he wants...", Juanita(Gloria) stated.

"But he said that he wants to be with us both...", Cathy reminds her.

"Yeah... he's such a damn dirty dog... aint he.", Jaunits(Gloria) stated.

"Wait a minute!", I say in my defense.

"Oh- you got nothing to say...", Cathy says to me.

"No...", I started to say, "but, who just tried to rape who here... just now..."

"You call that rape?", Jaunita(Gloria) asked, "I was just having a little fun with you..."

"Jaunita(Gloria)...", I started to tell her, "It would not taken much for penetration to occur between us..."

"My panties were still on, and so was your bathing suit...", she tries to argue back.

"Alright...", I tell her, sliding into a more comfortable position, "What if I was a bit more receptive to the idea. Better yet, if it wasn't for this headache- you and I to exchange and reinforce our physical sharing psychically... you know how bad we can get when that happens."

"Nothing would have happened... we stopped each other before, when it got too heavy.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"How heavy you two ever gotten?", Cathy asks.

"Don't answer that!", Jaunita(Gloria) shouted at me.

"Its only fair that she knows about how far we went. You already know that Cathy and I have....", I started to explain.

"Well, I know you two had slept together on a number of times, but in the literal form of actually sleeping together...", Cathy stated, interupting me, "... as far as you two making out... you know- that's something everyone wants to know."

"Well, that's none of your business...", Jaunita(Gloria) tells her.

"That little moment you were having not too long ago, says a lot for the both of yous.", Cathy stated.

"Oh, like what?", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Lets see... Dry humping through underwear... whats that? Third Base? Taking it all the way- like Fernando said- would not take much as at all, especailly in the state you were in, girl", Cathy explains to her.

"We never take it all the way...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Oh, I figured that... but answer me this- because this is something I know about him... Has he ever came on you while you were...", Cathy started to ask.

"CATHY!", I shouted at her.

"Fernando- you know that we had to deal with that back back of your, and we had to learn how to deal with it, so, between us- I Know that when your back is misaligned or fucked up from you over exhorting yourself, when nerves are pinched or otheriwse cramped up, things short curciut down there, and tends to go off without warning... And between you and I, have not considered that as a problem, it something that just happens and we deal with it. But other than that- when things are working as they should- you have outlasted many guys that I know of... Well, Jaunita(Gloria)... you ever had to deal with that?", Cathy stated.

"Well, we spoke about it a lot, many times in fact...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to say, "But all the girls know that about him..."

"That's not what I meant...", Cathy stated, "And between the three of us- I'm asking you- have you two ever got so carried away that he has shot off while you were on top of him?"

"I'd rather not say.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"I managed to push her off me when it happened.", I tell Cathy.

"FERNANDO!", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Look, I can not be honest with one and lie to another. I have to be honest to the both of you, and we should not be having secrets between us...", I tell her.

"He's right, you know that...", Cathy tells her.

"She does not have to be privy of our private moments.", Jaunita(Gloria) complains.

"Its not like no body knows about them... hell, we got caught every time we slept together- and they were the ones who spread the word of us being in bed, and rumours that we practiced making babies during the night because they assumed we did...", I explained to her, "You don't know how many times I had to defend your virginity to a lot of assholes..."

"And you don't know how many times I had to defend your manhood, because nothing happened between us...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Well, the hell with them...", I stated, "...The only people that are important to me other than my girls, is you two..."

"Aww... you're just saying that...", Cathy stated.

"I mean it, Cathy. Seriously... even if nothing happened between us...", I tell her.

"Then, let me be stupid and ask why.", Cathy asks.

"Why? Because...", I answered her. "Because when I first came to that school, I was still recovering from my gymnastics injuries, and blind. Yet for reasons unknown to me- there were idiots there that thought that it would be in their best interest to go mess with and even try to hurt a handicapped kid."

"A handicapped kid who happened to be a black belt in karate, who managed to defend himself quite well those early days.", Cathy added.

"That's besides the point. Look, I had friends here from my old High School and Jr. High School, but they did not wanted to get back together, so I was without friends... Then I met up with you, Cathy. And you accepted me as who I was and not what I was.", I answered.

"I think I had no choice since we were both in the Security's Detention Room.", Cathy added.

"Do you mind? I swear...", I tell her.

"Yes I do, and yes I know what you are trying to say. Look, you helped me out with those assholes that you're now the leader off, Got a lot of pressures off me because of it, but that's what friends do. They help each other out when they can.", Cathy tells me.

"That the whole point. You are a friend, first and foremost. Girlfriend, Lover, whatever- comes second to that, so if even we break up, I still want you to be there as a friend, and I will continue to be yours.", I stated.

"And what about the 'Hump Me Jaunita-Doll' over here?", Cathy asks.

"I'M NOT A 'HUMP ME DOLL'!", Jaunita(Gloria) yells at Cathy and gives her a hard hit to the shoulder.

Cathy falls forward onto me, against my chest. She then slowly gets up, propping herself against me, "SHE HIT ME! WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?!!"

"Nothing actually. That is between you two...", I tell her.

"FERNANDO! I'M CARRYING YOUR CHILD, AND SHE HIT ME!", Cathy says excitedly.

"We don't know that exactly, but this fight is between you two... Jaunita(Gloria), is its any consolation, you're an excellent little 'hump-me doll'... but not here- not in public...", I tell them. Cathy had to stop herself from laughing at her friend.

Jaunita(Gloria) was about to accept the compliment, but then realized where that would put her by admitting to being a 'Hump-Me Doll'. "Wait a minute...", she then lets out, pushing Cathy out of the way with one hand and pounces on me onto the same position she was on me before. "You better explain yourself..."

"You are... at least to me...", I tell her silently. "That is how our relationship been for so long, but I would dare say its only because you want to remain a virgin until the day you get married, and I respect that. But Jaunita(Gloria)... you have a sex starved demon inside you, and one day, its going to get the both of us in very big trouble if the both of us does not respect that line. But for you to give me all that you can, is an honour and a privillage- even if it is just being a 'Hump-Me Doll'..." , I then explained, before giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"You don't know what you do to me sometimes...", Jaunita(Gloria) says silently.

"Yes I do.", Cathy says to be heard. "Fernando, Church-Girls are by far the worse sex starved demons because thay are sex-starved. Most don't know what guys are except for girl-talk, and have to repress those feelings for so long... I swear- if I were Jaunita(Gloria), I would have fucked you a long time ago."

"Why you think I held back so much for so long...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated. "I don't want to end up as a rumoured unwed mother... I'd be thrown out of my congregation."

"Church is not worth it if you have to be on guard from becoming a target of a rumour...", I tell her.

"And what of you? What is your religious status... hmmm?", Jaunita(Gloria) asked.

"I think that should be left alone...", Cathy tells her.

"No... its ok.", I tell Cathy. "I'm a Confirmed Roman Catholic... The worst of my church for I'm also in the protectionist sect, but as a confirmed catholic, I can go or leave the church as I please, and that tie to it can not be taken away from me. Right now, I do not go to church for I want to express my freedom, and..."

"So, you're a hedonist...", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Let him finish...", Cathy tells her.

"No, I'm not a hedonist. I'm just expressing my freedom to explore the world. But I will be there when the church calls on me for help. The only problem is I'm in disagreement with some of the church policies, and against a couple of preists who I have strife with. But other than that... my faith in god will not faulter.", I explained.

"Sounds like a hedonist to me.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"Jaunita(Gloria)!", I tell her.

Jaunita(Gloria) sends a telepathic message to me, 'I'm just kidding with you. I know of your status with the church, and I respect it...'

"Don't be going church on the boy...", Cathy stated to Jaunita(Gloria), "You're no better than he is..."

"Well, I'm just saying...", Jaunita(Gloria) started to say, "...now, how did we ended up with him in the first place?"

"If you don't know the history by now- then forget about it.", Cathy stated.

"I know the history... we all share in it... I'm just saying, 'what if' he was not here...", Jaunita(Gloria) answered Cathy. "You would be married to Randal, despite the problems you got with him, at least you would not be having the problems of possibly being pregnant with his child. Nor would you be in conflict as to who your heart belongs too...", Jaunita(Gloria) added.

"And you would not be humping him like you are right now...", Cathy tells her rather bluntly.

"I Am Not!", Jaunita(Gloria) tells her.

"Oh, so you're not? Then tell me why your rocking your hips ever so slowly against him...", Cathy added.

"I Am Not Humping Him...", Jaunita(Gloria) says without trying to yell at Cathy.

"Jaunita(Gloria), you are...", I tell her, "You do it everytime you sit on my lap... Not that I don't mind... but..."

"Oh, Shut up, you!", Jaunita(Gloria) tells me.

"Tell me, Fernando- has she ever humped you while you two slept together?", Cathy asks.

"Don't Answer That!", Jaunita(Gloria) say but trying not to yell at me.

"Like I said- I cant keep secrets from one and be truthful to the other...", I tell Jaunita(Gloria), before shifting my attention to Cathy, "Yes... but our make out sessions have to stop at a certain point, and you know why."

"Have you ever gotten too close to actually sticking it in her?", Cathy asks.

"CATHY!", Jaunita(Gloria) yells.

"We've come close... but you know the answer as to why.", I tell her.

"FERNANDO!", Jaunita(Gloria) then yells at me.

I slowly put my arms around Jaunita(Gloria)'s neck, "Jaunita(Gloria), if it were possible to say 'I love you' to two wonderful young ladies, then I do so to you and her... You know... I'd never thought that I would end up in the same situation as my father used to have multiple simultaneous lovers and girlfriends, but you two makes it so easy for me to have it. And as far as I care- that is as far it goes... you two and me. No one else is included..."

"Then tell me- why do you love me?", Jaunita(Gloria) asks.

"You know the answer to that one... you been in my head too many times to know why.", I tell her.

"Sometimes it is better to hear the answer than to actually go it it.", Jaunita(Gloria) says.

"Well, its not your body... nor that you're Black or anything phyiscal... It's the person inside that I'm in love with. It is what being friends is all about. It is what being more than friends is all about.", I tell her.

She just leans over to me to get a closer look into my eyes, and we remained in silence for the moment, though it may have seemed that we were communicating telepathically, we were not.

"Oh Go Ahead And Fuck Him Once And For All....", Cathy says to her as she tried to get inbetween us.

Usually, that would get a reaction out of Jaunita(Gloria), but it does not this time. Or maybe it has, though not the one Cathy would have expected. Jaunita(Gloria) slowly lowered herself towards me and planted her lips against mine and pressed herself against me to keep me from pushing her away. I inturn do not fight back, but allow it, adding to the growing passion that we rarely share. Though Jaunita(Gloria) is not like Cathy- she tries to hold on to our kiss as long as we can. Then she breaks away, panting for air only after a couple of minutes has passed. I try to hold onto to her neck as she pulls away.

"I was wondering when you were going to come up for air...", Cathy stated.

"How... can... you... two... do... that... for... so... long...?", Jaunita(Gloria)asked as she panted for air.

"Practice...", Cathy says, almost too proudly, "You have to learn how to breathe very lightly through your nose..."

"I.. heard... you... two can... do it... underwater.", "Jaunita(Gloria) said as she was catching up with her breathe.

"Again, practice.", Cathy tells her.

Jaunita(Gloria) looks down at me, confused or unsure what to do. Holding on to her neck, I slowly pull her towards me. She leans against my chest, and rests.

"Something bothering you?", I ask Jaunita(Gloria).

"Yes and no...", she quietly says.

"Then... what is it?", I ask.

"Can I be blunt about it?", Jaunita(Gloria) asks.

"You can say it anyway you need to say it.", I tell her.

"I want to make love to you... but I cant...", Jaunita(Gloria) says.

"I know... its ok if you do or dont.", I reply to her.

"You understand?", Jaunita(Gloria) asks.

"You know the answer to that...", I answer her.

"Would you want me too?", Jaunita(Gloria) asks.

"Only if it were to be the only answer to what we have, and not to satisfy some lust or hunger, or to prove a point. You know what we agreed to, and I hold you to it...", I tell her.

"I know... I'm just... I don't know.", Jaunita(Gloria) stated.

"You're horny and confused, Jaun...", Cathy tells her, "But all I can say is do what you think is right."

I reach over to Cathy and bring her down to us. Jaunita(Gloria) lets go one arm around me and holds on to Cathy joinging her into our little circle. We remain silent for the moment.
