She had tried to reach the shore and make a getaway through the woods but Al had joined her in the water for sex.Priscilla was a good, strong, swimmer... but Al was better, she said. When she tried to get back to the launch ahead of him, with the idea of making a run for safety in the launch, Al overhauled her easily. He had laughed at her disappointment and said if he caught any of the McNevilles trying to escape again he would see to it that they would be whipped and branded like runaway slaves. She sighed, and went over to her wardrobe. 'what to wear?' she asked herself. 'too warm for jeans, too cold for shorts.' She eventually dug out a light blue skater skirt and matching t-shirt. She also grabbed a thin jacket, just in case she got a little cold. Next, she turned to the matter of underwear. She was about to pull a pair of blue and white striped panties out of the drawer when her phone began to buzz. She pulled it out of her jacket, and looked at the screen. "hey honeydew!" she. Kinda. Here. Chill out bro. He hands me a cigarette. Once the car stopped at the red light, I looked at him in the back seat. Seriously? Chill man, its straight. No one gives a shit and your cars got no stickers on it. No one can tell youre in high school man, chill the fuck out. Okay man. He stuck a blue lighter in my cup holder, and when I parked in front of the apartment complex they needed to pick up in, I light it. After I exhaled, it felt pretty good, actually. My muscles relaxed, my eyes. He bit his lip. Suki had told him specifically not to say that.“So my daughter tells me.”She looked up at his face. Somehow, as surprising as it was to her, her fear and timidity had vanished. This man had not grabbed her, pushed her down, and mounted her. Any other man she’d been with would have done that by now. Bob obviously wanted her as a woman, but he was ... respecting her.It took a few moments to get his pants off his feet. Suki had said it was necessary that Fumiko take his clothes.
