I went out to see if Beth had arrived home yet. I stepped into the kitchen and looked around but the only person there was Ben, who had a very large g...in on his face.“Is she here yet?”I wasn't sure why I was whispering, other than feeling like a naughty little school girl. Ben laughed and pointed up to the wall.“What's the time, Sis?”I looked at the clock, confused. It was saying ten past two. It was so strange. I would have sworn I heard the clock chime three. Ben laughed again.“It's okay to. Once the girls were both blushing enough Helene turned off the disk and looked at the two girls. “well what have you got to say for yourselves, what you were doing is illegal its called incest and would at the very least put you in a childrens home”.

Do either of you,. “It’s….just painful not being able to…relieve it”“Well, maybe if you just go lie down.” I suggested.“Mom! That’s not going to do it. Didn’t you ever hear about blue balls?” he asked.“Of course” I replied. “Guys would complain about girls getting them all excited and then leaving them……..” I stopped. I got the message.“Exactly” he said.“Oh. Baby! I’m so sorry. What can I do?” I asked.“Nothing I can think of” he replied. “Nothing that’s not against the law”His words cut right through me as I also. I 'blow her off' for basketball, sometimes." What does she have that I don't?" Carrie asked."My heart," Ryan said. Laurel just about melted at that. How could I have doubted him for a second, she thought to herself. Carrie was still babbling, but Laurel barely heard it. She did hear Ryan's voice rise, just a bit, in response."Listen. I've tried to be nice, but that's not working. First of all, Laurel's brilliant. I'm not in her league, but I'm no dummy, and I prefer a girlfriend who I can have.
