I have done my own laundry for years, and am familiar with the foibles of the washer and dryer, but I did allow Ruthie and Pam to believe I needed ins...ructions, and to give them to me before they left. I made a particular point of seeing to it that we had plenty of clean sheets. Even without Pam and Ruthie in the house, I tend to use quite a few, especially the fitted bottom sheets, so I have a lot of them available. When my lady friends returned, they also considered their day to have been. "I broke out laughing much to Beth's annoyance."She said that you and I are like the two halves to a whole," I said. "I bring out your maturity and you bring out my fun side." It's the same way with her," Beth said. "That is exactly it. When Bailey is around you — or at least back then — she was nicer and more thoughtful. She was less self-centered. You were friendlier and more open. You laughed more and were less obstinate about things."Bailey missed the boat. It was never me that brought out. "I couldn't believe my luck, it had been so easy, but I didn't mind that at all as it meant I would get what I wanted that much sooner. Grinning I watched mum stand up and head for the door, I rose and followed her, stopping at the living room doorway as she headed upstairs to change, I hoped, into an outfit similar to the one we'd seen on the box.Mum seemed to be gone for ages and I was beginning to wonder if she had changed her mind about changing into something more revealing. Anxiously I. I cleaned up, folded the swimsuit and put it away. I felt dirty for what I had done, but I knew there would be many more next times.The next time was Monday afternoon, not even 24 hours later. I got home from school and went straight to my parents bedroom, taking the key to the door and locking myself in. I took the swimsuit that I had used last time, stripped and sat on the edge of the bed. This time I did not rub it on myself though, I had thought of something at school that seemed so.
