Summary: In the ALL NEW Pilot episode of 'Two Girls, A Crime and A Pool House', Makenzie has a 'mother of all fights' showdown with her controlling mother over whether or not she should go on the family vacation. The end result? Makenzie heads for the family's spacious pool house to hide out for the night. This leads directly to another VERY different kind of confrontation that involves a case of breaking and entering, a fire place poker, hunger pains and two girls first french kiss...HUH? You just have read it to find out how all this happens.
Story Codes: no sex
My parents (Rich and Barbara), younger brother (Ben) and younger sister (Bailey) left on the ski holiday that my family had taken every year since I (Makenzie) can remember. It was always at this exclusive resort called 'North Border Inn' high in the Catskill Mountains. I hate the east coast, it's too damn cold and I especially hate the damn mountains and that god forsaken snow. I was determined that this year (the 15th of my life) that I wasn't going. So I threw a tantrum from hell and refused to go when it was announced in Early December. Which angered my mother to the point of almost canceling the trip if she couldn't have her way and make me go. Which is normal behavior for her (and me sometimes).
But my father, forever the level headed one, made it clear he'd go and take Ben and Bailey and leave us "feuding bitches" at home if we didn't stop it. So that set the stage for the climax of the feud, Mom stormed into my room on the last night before they left and we had the mother of all screaming matches. Among the many revelations was that I was a ungrateful little bitch and my mother was a control freak. No big shocks to anyone who knows either of us, cause it's mostly true.
The fight resulted in her slapping me so hard it made my jaw sore for the rest of the night. I slumped to the floor with a trickle of blood dripping from my lip. She continued screaming at me and then realized what she had done as my father came running into the room to separate us. He helped me to my feet and forced Mom to leave the room. I was dizzy for a second or two but once I regained my balance I pushed my father away and went running at her back and mounted her like you do a horse and started pulling her hair till it tore away in my hands and by the time Dad reached me I was slamming her head violently into the floor. It was a horrible night and the one that I blame for mine and my mothers treatment of each other up to this very day. Soon after the carnage was cleaned up and Mom had been forced into my parents room I left the main house for the pool house (partly out of fear of another confrontation).
Milly, our loving and attentive maid, helped me with my pillow and blanket and made sure I got settled in on the sleeper sofa in the living room before kissing my forehead and leaving for the night. I turned on the big screen and sat back to watch a movie. I began to get really sleepy about an hour later and set the TV's auto-off timer and before I knew it I had fallen asleep in the easy chair and was apparently snoring quiet happily (for a few hours) when 'IT' happened. A loud crash and the first word I remember in the dark, "FUCK!"
"Hello?" I asked as my skin began to get that scared tingling sensation that happens when you wake up in a dark room with very little clue of what's going on. I slowly let the recliner down into the seating position and reached for the first item I could find for defense, the fire place poker and stood as I said in a confident voice. "Look I got a damn gun and if you don't show yourself I'mma start firing."
"HUH?" I heard the voice say in the dark. I then saw, through the dim moonlight that streamed into the room, whoever it was scramble for the open glass door as I (like a moron) gave chase. I remember seeing long hair flop over there shoulder as I stumbled forward and slammed the door shut just before they could get out and then used the poker to stab at the light switch and got lucky as the lights flickered on. I realized then that I may have made a huge mistake and looked down and expected to see some dude with a ski mask or maybe even something worse. But what I got was the shock of my life, it wasn't some big scary robber or some petty thief. But what I saw was...A GIRL. A scared to death girl at that. "I'm sorry...I was just hungry and wet and wanted some place to dry off and..."
"Holy shit" I said as I looked at her laying their terrified. I dropped my defense and my poker to the floor as my senses recovered. "Hungry?"
"Yeh" She said, scooting back against the door as I noticed the muss of curly blond hair on her head that looked unwashed as did her face and clothes. Which barely looked to be staying on her body. She wore these hole ridden gloves over her hands as protection from the cold I assumed. "That's all...look I'll just go and I'm sorry for...I'm just sorry."
"Why are you hungry?" I asked as she slowly stood, her eyes never leaving mine.
"I think that's kinda obvious" She said as she opened the glass door behind her. "I'm homeless."
"Well what the hell are you doing breaking into my place?" I asked as she froze, "Looking to steal something?"
"Noooooo god noooooo" She said putting her hands up in protest as that terrified look came back to her face, "I would never..I swear on my life. I come in here cause you guys keep good food in the fridge."
"Come?" I asked, "You mean you did this before?"
"A few times when I get desperate" She said looking down.
"Like now?" I asked as I saw her fingers clutch at the door behind her as she slumped backwards suddenly. Her eyes rolling back in her head for a moment before she caught herself and I jumped forward and grabbed her arm and after some initial resistance got her to sit down in the chair as I sat down on the table. "You OK?"
"Almost passed out" She said as she grabbed her stomach and doubled over in pain.
"OHMIGOD what's wrong?" I asked as I thought she may fall out of the chair. She rocked back and forth as she finally looked up to me with a glazed look in her eyes.
"I'm OK, I think, I get this way sometimes, just hunger pains" She said as I jumped up and grabbed my bag of Doritos and stuffed them into her hands and made her take a bite. She reluctantly took a few bites and before I knew it she was munching away and tore threw that bag like it was her first meal in several days. She finished the bag and looked at me with a sheepish grin after and I smiled. "Sorry."
"You OK now?" I asked as she shook her head yes and smiled and I saw this twinkle in her eye and for some reason got lost in a moment as we stared at each other. I snapped my head away as did she as soon as we realized. Which brought a whole new set of questions to mind. "What's your name by the way?"
"I better not say, cause it'll be easier to prove I broke in here" She said and I reasoned that that was a good explanation.
"Ummmmmmm....well can I fix you something to eat?" I asked as I changed the subject.
"Fix me something?" She asked with a very hesitant sound to her voice as I stood and walked to the kitchen. "It's been so long since someone asked me that I'm not sure what to say."
"How about yes?" I asked with a giggle.
"I break into your home and now you're offering me dinner?" She asked in shock as she stood and walked to the bar over looking the kitchen.
"I see someone who is in trouble" I said as I shrugged, "Not like you're gonna hurt me."
"No I really was just hungry and wet" She said as I pulled two pans out from under the sink.
"Hey speaking of wet" I said as I pointed to the bathroom. "You wanna take a shower or something?"
"Love to" She said as she started towards the door and stopped and asked, "you're not gonna like have me arrested or something while I'm in the shower are you?"
"No, the towels are in the closet" I said as she laid her bag down by the door and looked down at herself in the mirror and said, "Maybe not."
"Why?"
"I don't exactly have anything to change into" She said with a look of worry in her eyes.
"So you can borrow something" I said calmly as I came near her and touched the torn and tattered jacket and started to slip it off her shoulders. "OHHHHHHHHHHH GOD THAT SMELLS."
"Yeh" She said as I dropped it into the trash and said, "We'll work something out, just go and take a shower."
"So no cops you promise?" She asked.
"No cops...no name" I said as she giggled and stepped into the bathroom and stuck her head back out and smiled as she said, "I don't know why you are being so nice to me, but thank you. It's Mikala. My friends call me Mickie."
"Cool" I said and returning her smile as she closed the door and I opened a pack of bacon that I had just pulled out of the freezer and soon plopped a bunch on the grill to cook. Figuring breakfast was as easy a meal to fix as anything at this moment. I added some eggs and hash browns without thinking much about it before I was finished. I could hear the water still running as I got finished and made up two plates and stuck them in the microwave to keep warm and realized she didn't exactly have anything to change into when she got out so I headed into the bedroom to see if I could find anything. Fortunately, late last summer Mom and I had another of our infamous brawls and I had stayed down here for about two weeks on and off. So a lot of my clothes were still in the closet. That's when I wondered what I was gonna do. Was she gonna spend the night or what?
I shrugged my shoulders at my question and hearing the water go off, I picked out a jersey (good for sleeping), undies and pair of comfy jammies and headed back for the bathroom. I opened the door without thinking and got the shock of a lifetime. Mikala was still in the shower with her back to the door, brushing her hair in the mirror and I got the view of a lifetime. My jaw dropped open at the site of the beauty before me, she was stunning and god what an ass and legs on that girl. I froze as she started to turn and saw me as I think she froze too before she grabbed a towel and I walked in and laid the clothes on the toilet seat and mumbled a quick apology and walked back out as quick as possible.
That vision of her was now stuck in my mind and for whatever reason I couldn't get it out. You should know up to that moment in time, I had never ever had a sexual thought about another girl. But this had put me in a daze, I sat down and ran my fingers through my hair and thought for a minute as I tried to convince myself I really didn't like it as much as I had thought. Besides I figured even if I did like it, she was straight so it was no use in going down that road. I'd just put it off as a nice experience. PHEW!
"Hey" Mikala said nervously, coming out of the bathroom with my old clothes on. She smiled as I opened the microwave and handed her a plate of food and returned her nervous greeting.
"I'm sorry about walking in on you" I said, after a few moments of long silence as we both started to eat.
"Well if you wanted to see me naked you should have just come and joined me before" She replied with a knowing smile as my mouth dropped open in shock. "Gotta repay you for your kindness some how you know?"
"I'll have you know....I am not like th...UMMMMMMM no you don't" I stammered as she giggled and smiled and that twinkle came to her eye again as she looked at me. Our eyes met and this time it was no mistake, I felt my skin sorta tingle and this moment lingered as we starred at each other. "I was...raised that way..."
"What way?" She asked as the moment passed and we both went on about eating.
"To help people" I said.
"So I'm a charity case?" She asked with a teasing giggle.
"Nooooo I just...you scared me" I replied, "look if you don't have any other plans you wanna stay here?"
"Really?"
"Sure the bedroom has a nice bed and the sofa pulls out so we both have room."
"Well I'll have to check my social calendar" She said as I burst out laughing and shot food all over the kitchen floor. Which resulted in a fit of giggles for both of us that lasted most of the next half hour.
"Yeh you do that" I said as we both laughed. I think that's when I noticed how pretty she was when she smiled. "So what's your story, Mikala?"
"Mickie" She said softly as she finished her meal and scooted the plate towards me, "My Mom and Dad ran me off about a year ago."
"Why?" I asked as I looked down at my own plate and realized my eyes were way bigger than my stomach. "I can't finish this, you want?"
"Of course, you make my belly happy" She giggled as I rolled my eyes and scooted my plate to her and watched her start munching again. "My mother thinks it's immoral to be gay or lesbian or bi-sexual, I don't know what label she wants to call me but she certainly thinks it's true about me, and my father does everything she tells him. So, I'm out on the street."
"That's horrible" I said as she smiled and I then realized what she had just said, she was into girls. That thought really began bouncing off the inside of my skull as I pictured her again in the shower and thought about how pretty she was. Hell I'd do it just to piss my mother off. Laughing as I covered my mouth and listened as she went on and didn't seem to notice at all.
"Not so bad, you meet a lot of nice people" She said, "Times have been rough lately though."
"I can that see" I said looking again at the tattered jacket in the trash. "I couldn't live with myself if I just turned someone out like that."
"I've got like four other brothers and sisters" Mickie said, "So my Mom losing me is not that big of a deal, I guess."
"And none of them will help you?" I asked.
"Nope, you're the first person in over a year that's invited me to stay anywhere resembling nice" She said, "So thanks again."
"Make yourself at home and I mean that...Mickie" I said as she smiled and took the now empty plate before her and dumped both in the sink as I filled it with water and dish washing liquid.
"I'll do those, I don't mind" She said getting up from the counter and coming around and moving beside me at the sink and bumping me out of the way. I laughed and pushed her back as she laughed and a play fight began as she, I think intentionally, splashed some water on me. "I'm sorry that was a accident."
"Fuck you, accident my ass" I said as I splashed her back and gave her a daring smile as she put up her hands as a truce and we both laughed. "Can I hug you? Truce?"
"Truce" I said as I hugged her and got a whiff of the shower gel that I used and I pulled her tighter and breathed it in.
"I smell good or something?" She asked giggling as she put her arms around my neck.
"I love the smell of that" I said as she leaned close and I froze as I could swear she was gonna kiss me. Believe me, you have no idea how many weird thoughts go through your head in a split second with a moment like that. But instead she pressed her cheek to mine and inhaled and pulled away as she said, "Yeh it's different on another girl isn't it?"
"Yeh when I put it on I like it, but on you it's like..." I said as she grinned at my blushing, "...different."
"Nough said" She giggled, "You know we'll never get these dishes done, standing here flirting with each other."
"I was not flirting" I said as she laughed and turned to the sink. "I just think you smell good."
"And judging from the look on your face a minute ago when saw me in the shower you didn't exactly hate it" She said as I could have nearly fainted in that moment with embarrassment. "Huh?"
"I am not like that I'll have you know" I said as she shrugged and turned back to the dishes, but I had to wonder what was happening to me. I saw the smile slowly leave her face and again weird thoughts flowed into my frazzled mind as I thought my words might have hurt her feelings. "Well, I didn't hate seeing you that way, and it wasn't intentional, it's just I've always been straight."
"It's cool...wait, what is your name?" She asked as we both started laughing at the craziness of her not knowing my name.
"It's Makenzie" I said as she shook my hand, hers now covered in bubbles. Which she promptly blew into my face as she laughed and backed away from me as I chased after her into the living room. Let me pause this for a second and explain something, I believe the whole bubbling blow incident was her way to get me after her. Cause what happened next would have never happened if I hadn't been trying to exact some sort of revenge. Anyway, I chased her into the living and around the coffee table as she stood on one side now and me on the other, both looking for the others next move.
"Oops sorry" She said with a wicked smile.
"I'm gonna show you sorry" I said as I lunged for her and she jumped back and to the side as I crashed to the floor. After seeing me smile as I got up, making sure I was OK I think, she said with that same grin, "Missed me....by...that much."
"That's it Mickie, I'm gonna whip your ass" I said as I got on my feet and I swear she waited on me till I got close and then took off running towards the bedroom and dove onto the bed. Never bothering to close the door, I would later note. Instead she dove under the covers and I'm guessing tried to protect herself as I reached her and not knowing what to do, I grabbed her by the hips and started to exact my revenge as I whacked her on the butt. She squealed and whimpered as I did it again and again.
"Stop, oww, stop" She pleaded as she scooted away, "I'm sorry."
"You better be" I said as I raised my arms victoriously and laid my head back to enjoy my victory, right before she speared me to the mattress with a fit of giggles and pinned me down. Her hands on mine and her legs trapping mine down.
"Now what were you saying Makenzie?" She asked with a huge smile. "You won the first battle but I'm gonna win the war pretty baby."
"Excuse me?" I asked as I relaxed in surprise at what she had just called me, "What did you call me?"
"Pretty...baby?" She said as she bit her lip and sat up, now looking nervous. "It's just, you smell so good and I dunno...you look so cute. I'm sorry."
"No one has ever called me pretty before" I said as I looked up at her, now sitting across my stomach. God she looked cute with her hair mussed by our wrestling and the slight sheen of sweat on her skin. OK so I wasn't exactly fighting my attraction to hard anymore. Do you blame me?
"They should have" She said as I smiled and looked up at her. "Sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
"You didn't, I was just surprised at how you said it" I replied, "Who doesn't like being called pretty?"
"Well considering you know I like girls and you made it pretty clear you don't..." She said before trailing off.
"I said I've always been straight" I said as my hand for some reason unknown to me, even to this day, touched the bare skin on her calf. Noticing it was velvet like in it's smoothness. That alone, in just a split second sent shivers straight to my...happy zone. My body began to respond and without my consent as my hand stroked her skin now slowly. I looked up at her and she didn't seem alarmed by it at all as she simply smiled and said, "You don't have to stop."
"I don't?" I asked and almost asking for her permission to continue.
"No" She said simply as she leaned forward on her hands and I think testing my reaction as she grinned at me playfully. "You like?"
"So soft" I said as she lowered to her elbows and let her long hair fall around my face. I know by this point that I should have been alarmed but my constant stroking of her calf and now moving up her thigh making my mind relax and my natural reflexes give into the desire I suddenly felt.
"It's a been long time since anyone treated me this nice" She said sweetly with a smile as she carefully stroked my hair from my eyes, "Can I be nice to you too?"
"What kinda nice do you wanna be?" I asked before we both laughed at the goofiness of my comment. "Let me rephrase.."
"I know what you meant" She said, "I'll be as nice as you let me."
"Well..." I said as she listened intently, "...I'm new at this, so you gonna have to show me what to do."
"About?" She asked with a wicked grin as I blushed.
"If you don't stop, you're gonna make me rethink..." I said before she kissed me. My mind sorta went numb with that development as her soft, warm lips touched mine and seemingly begged me to follow her lead as she kissed me. I did and my body began exploding with desire as her lips massaged mine and I felt her lick my upper lip and I touched my tongue to hers as she touched my cheek gently and we frenched softly for a moment before she pulled away with a questioning smile as she looked down at me.
"Why did you stop for?" I asked and almost out of breath, feeling her hand still gently caressing my cheek.
"Wanted to make sure you didn't wanna kill me by now" She said with a nervous smile.
"Noooo" I said with a smile, "Was I kissing you back or not?"
"It sure felt like it" She said in an almost whisper, "I haven't exactly got a lot of experience with girls."
"Oh great, we're both flying blind" I said as we both laughed.
"Yeh I guess so" She said as she kissed me again softly and then licked her lips as we parted, making me blush. "You're so pretty."
"Keep saying that and you're gonna laid" I said as I leaned up a bit and kissed her softly.
"I'm not fighting" She said with a giggle, "But I'm also letting you make that decision."
"I want..." I started to say as the phone began ringing in the living room. "I better get that."
"And I'll get to those dishes" She said as she rolled off me and we both headed to the door, where I stopped her and smiled before kissing her and said, "To be continued..."
CJ -- I LOVE this beginning. Can't wait to see where it goes.
