Stopping by to look at Nicole's stamp collection? Catching up on National Geographic photos?) But fortunately, when I arrived back downstairs Katya appeared to be deeply engrossed in the movie, and once I was again seated beside her. She remained silent and impenetrable, painted fingernails drumming impulsively, every now and then throwing out a dismal sigh of neglect and abandonment. The TV had switched from the black and white movie to some cartoon about horses, executed with the oversentimental stuffiness insufferably typical of Disney, but the name and the plot I confess I cannot recite, for reasons which may become clear shortly. Nicole arrived grinning, clad in long white gauzy nightshirt, all refreshed and clean, hair still damp from bathing. She shoehorned herself into the narrow space to my left on the couch, and with Katya squeezed in on my right I found myself comfortably sandwiched between young scantily clad pelvises and thighs. My hands had no place to go, so they would keep winding up gently resting on a warm soft knee or foreleg in spite of my best attention. Such brushes seemed to strike up the spicy aroma from within Katya's thin pink shorts on one side, in pleasing counterpoint to the fresh scented piquancy from Nicole's eagerly bouncing presence on the other. The movie seemed to possess a plot of some contrivance, which at least provided an excuse for a prolonged chase sequence. So thrilling that I could feel the excitement in the agitations from my left, which spun out of orbit into a leap which targeted as its destination my humble lap. "Horsie ride!" yelled Nicole, legs spread around mine as she faced me. I caught a glimpse of her naked sweetness from beneath the nightshirt, as it dawned on me her neglect to don negligee. And here I had always thought one rode a horse sitting on its back, so much we have to learn from the tender wisdom of a simple child. "Come on, sis," she boisterously grabbed Katya's thigh above the knee. "Come ride with me!" Katya collapsed momentarily off balance swallowed by the couch, but then snapped out of her gothic mood with a shrewd smile, climbing onto my lap behind her sister. Please note that neither of the two young females had bothered to consult the owner of the poor environmentally sensitive region between them, but rather, amid uncontrollable giggles, took to kneading it with rather more erotic lingering than was condign to young girls of such a delicate age. "This is quite a movie," I exclaimed. "I really feel like I'm part of the action!" "Giddyap horsie!" shouted Nicole. "Giddiyup!" replied Katya. The manner with which Katya gripped and held her sister about the waist, one carefully nailpolished hand on either side, seemed designed as much by sensuous desire as by childlike horseplay, using her little sister's body to brace the rhythmic arching of her back as she pressed the thin pink hot-pants into me with pelvic thrusts that spread moist heat against my prefecture of fullness. The quivering release of her breath echoed in a faint tremor that rippled through my consciousness, as my vision became trapped as if held inside the heart-shaped locket that dangled from around her neck, inside the half-open mouth beneath her half-closed eyes, my imaginary tongue wandering down alleyways of glittering trinkets twinkling sparkles into the semi-blacked out vision of my rushing heartbeat. The swirling clouds that encircled and enshrouded me faded into the irrelevant chatter of the television movie, both girls having sunk into sultry, sensuous silence. The trance broke irritatingly by the harsh jangling of a telephone, which Nicole sprang upward to answer, leaving me facing Katya in a most intimate position, which she bashfully subsided once abandoned by her sister, and resumed her position at my side. "Your mom told me that you should be in bed by 9:30 for school tomorrow," I asserted, slapping my thigh into standing. It was now 9:35. I turned off the TV. "Ok," said Katya faintly, finger looping twirls through her honey-blonde curls, chin against knee, then in a delayed reaction rolled off the chair and bounded up the steps out of sight. "Bed!" I said pointing at the clock, to the effusive phone-bound Nicole. ". . .And she said `Whaddya mean, you want to see my what? Get real!' Anyway, gotta go. Talk to you tomorrow. What? OK. Bye!" she deposited the receiver with a clattering blow and trounced off up the stairs after her sister. Breathing a wash of relief that temptation, once again thwarted, had now retired securely to its abode of iniquity for the night, and I relaxed back into the armchair to read a chapter or two of "Les Miserables." Maybe some light music from the radio would serve to cover up the creaking springs from above as Katya found release in her sister's moist lingual exercises, but no matter. Out of sight, out of mind. I would look to the noble example of gallant Valjean to rescue me from the momentary lapse into the seductress temptations of. . . A light padding on the stairs. I heard Katya calling impatiently, from out of sight in the sisters' shared room. "Get to bed," she hissed. "Where do you think you're going?" "Just a sec!" called Nicole from halfway down the stairs. "I gotta go pee!" "But the downstairs's broken," protested Katya. "I have to get a glass of water then. Just a sec, I'll be right up!" "All right," was the skeptical reply. Beautiful cozy and soft Nicole leaned over and whispered affectionately in my ear: "Wait about ten minutes, then come up. Don't knock, just open the door. Tiptoe, really quietly." I felt a stirring in under my loincloth at the thought. "But, wait a minute. I can't. I'm, uh, reading my book." She frowned. "Don't you think you should check up on us, to make sure we got to sleep OK? What kind of babysitter are you?" What a question! Cautiously I ventured: "Well I, uh, guess, um, the kind of babysitter that's not very experienced." Then foolishly, I blurted: "Maybe you just need to help me out with some clues." Me and my big mouth. She grinned, whispering once more into my ear: "We'll show you everything, don't worry!" then, with a quick tickle for her friend in my lap, dashed up the stairs again, leaving me completely unglued. Ten minutes. I glanced at the clock. I wasn't planning to go up, of course. No way. Well, maybe just to listen from outside the door to be sure they were snoring properly and so on. No, I couldn't do that! Well, maybe just a teensy peek in, to be sure they hadn't gone and sneaked off to watch dirty movies downtown. . . This conversation played frantically through my mind for approximately forever, though the sweep-second hand counting increments of minutes ticking by in silence preserved the illusion that time had maintained its integrity and had, in fact, not come to a complete standstill. The book lay open in front of my eyes, as the words attempted to resolve into symbolic meanings and concepts, but against my best mental efforts kept disintegrating into letters which in turn collapsed into a chaotic random collection of shapes and squiggles that crawled across the coarse surface of paper like a legion of shadowy snakes slithering the dark crevices of the garden of Eden.
