I walked to the kitchen ell, yelled a goodbye to Josey who was up to her elbows in gray water and went back to my mare who had been fed and groomed. I... gave the stable boy a coin and rode out, feeling right proud of myself. As usual, virtue is seldom rewarded.I was not more than a mile down the road, heading back for the hills, when I ran into a roadblock. A skinny cedar had been dropped across the road and black uniformed men with lanterns stood on both sides of the ditches although the sun was. Steve said he was starving and asked if there was anything he could do to help. I asked him to help Sam start the grill while Jessica and I retrieved the food from the refrigerator.When we joined them on the patio, Jessica mentioned that it was still hot and that the pool looked so refreshing. I asked her if she brought her swimming suit, to which she replied that Steve forgot to tell her where they were going so, she didn’t bring one. I looked at her said, "Let’s see what we can do about. She was always traditional and dressed very appropriately. She leaned over my chest and said, “I am lucky to have a bestie like you.”Little did she know the lust that was growing inside me. My heart started beating hard and my whole body became hot. She asked me what was wrong with me as I look tensed. I told her that I cannot control my feelings towards her and wanted her to marry me.As she was innocent and cared for me too much, she got up and sat over my lap, wrapped her hands over my neck. Marilyn turned 18 years of age in June of this year. It was only a month before that when she lost her virginity. She has appeared at some of my parties since she turned 18 and has even appeared in a movie with Joan and me.”June could feel her face turning pink as Alice introduced her to the guests. She noticed several of the guests whispering to one another after hearing her age and when she lost her virginity. June managed to smile at the guests throughout Alice’s introduction despite her.
