Mommy picked up the cordless phone. It was Daddy, he was going out of town on business and wouldn't be back until late Saturday. "Okay, dear, we'll le...ve all the doors unlocked and keep the red porch light on 'til you get back. Love you."Mommy hung up the receiver. "Now, you girls haven't told me how you got those pretty purple bruises around your necks. Have you two been playing hangman?" she teased as she leaned over to kiss Kathy's moist lips.Christi was slipping off a nylon to answer. Instead, she got it from some strange man at a Halloween party and she was not even awake to enjoy it!I needed to wake her up and got her out of there but then I heard a noise just outside the bedroom. I froze and the door started to open. I did not know why but I lie back down onto the bed and pretended to be asleep. I should have gotten up and shoved the door back into the face of whomever trying to get in, but I did not. Through the slits of my eyes I could see the door opened and closed. Actually important. They saw Julie's small hand reach across the table and touch Cindi's."Of course we'll help. We love you. We're your family now." Pulling back, Julie glanced around nervously as she reached into her bag and pulled out a cell phone. "I'm going to text. Cover me."Now, THIS her friends were used to. Quickly moving closer to hide her actions from any adults, they watched as Julie typed out her message.Shirley lowered the cell phone, Gretchen already having hung up. Yet another. Your favorite meal." "My favorite color?" "What can I say? He's a weirdo." "What did you tell him?" "That if he really wanted to fuck you, he should stop tipping you so well." "You're such a bitch." "I'm kidding. I told him that you had always been strictly for looking at, even back at the home. That you were stubborn as hell and that he should give up on the idea of sex. That there were lots of girls like me that he wouldn't have to ask twice for what he wanted." "I hope he heard that.".
