He was also a hard man to get access to but fortunately his twin children Mark and Kyra were far more approachable. As far as Adam Pringle was now concerned, I was Kyra's boyfriend. Unfortunately his other daughter was blackmailing the three of us with the intention of having a little fun. And if that wasn't enough trouble, my foster-sister Anna as well as Hailey and Rosalie, two of the other players from her girls' soccer team, thought I was *THEIR* boyfriend - the finer details still to be worked out. Hmm. I may have unwittingly made a couple of poor decisions when first trying to build a good cover story. ********************************************************* I was accosted as soon as I walked inside, Ma calling me into the kitchen before I even had a chance to put my things in my room. "Roger, I want a word with you please." I couldn't tell whether the word would be good or bad. "Anna came home sick from school today but I think there is more to it than that. You and she have been getting close lately and I was wondering if you'd have any idea why she might have been crying in her room for most of the afternoon?" Ma was looking at me shrewdly. Anna had been okay this morning and we'd definitely been cosy together the night before so either we had somehow fallen out on the way to school or something had happened there. I must have looked honestly puzzled - which I was; Anna had been okay with my visit to Hailey when we parted for class, even joking over how much harder it would be for me to get in to see Rosalee. "No, I can't think of anything. Sorry. Has she really been crying all that time?" "On and off. I think she slept for a little while so maybe she's been having trouble getting to sleep as well and something's just set her off." "Would you like me to see if I can find out?" "Would you Roger? Oh thank you. I know a teenage girl sometimes feels her mother is the last person she can talk to but if you think it is something I should know about can you try to get her to speak to me. I don't expect you to betray any confidences - unless she's in actual danger." "Okay, I'll do what I can." Since I didn't know what had caused the problem I didn't expect the reception when I knocked on the door. "Anna?" "Fuck off you bastard!" "Must be something I've done," I thought. Well actually it was, "Oh shit! What have I done now?" "Anna, what is the matter?" "Just go away and leave me alone - forever!" "If that's what you want..." "I do!" "...then I will but only after you tell me why you're upset with me." I opened her door and stepped inside. "I told you to go away." "Yet you left your door unlocked. I think you wanted a chance to tell me why I'm such a bastard since I'm obviously too thick to know." Anna stood. "The only thing I want is for you to feel as shitty as I do." She swung a hand at me but I'd been trained to respond to all sorts of attacks - and to try to use an appropriate level of response. In this case I moved just enough to soften the blow while allowing Anna the satisfaction of a clear slap and some tingling in her hand. I also caught her arm before she could launch into me again but I don't think it would have been necessary. Anna had been prepared for fight and now it had happened she expected me to retaliate. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead. "Anna love, I am truly sorry if I have hurt you. It has never been my intention and I really don't know what I have done." There was no way she was ready to consider forgiving me but the adrenalin flooding her veins needed some outlet and Anna started shaking. I moved her over to the bed and made her sit while I knelt and rubbed my hands up and down her arms. "Why?" she eventually asked. I waited for her to elaborate. "You said you were going to see Mark's little sister. Did you end up fucking Kyra?" "Kyra?" I asked. "Why Kyra?" "Well you're her boyfriend. You're around her house all the time. I saw you kissing her." "Anna, I haven't fucked anyone since I left Hailey this morning. I'm not Kyra's boyfriend in the sense you mean but I have been helping her with something and that is why she kissed me." "It was more than a 'Thank You' kiss and you were certainly doing more than saying 'You're welcome'." "Kyra doesn't know about you and she doesn't think there's anything serious going on with Rosalee or Hailey who she has met. I guess she's thinking she might have a chance with me but she's stone cold out of luck. Okay, I admit I didn't object to kissing her. She's good looking and feels nice cuddled up against me - but she's not you and I don't want her." "But Loren said she'd said you were her boyfriend." "Loren, whoever she is, must have got the public part of the story. If I tell you some of the rest you've got to promise you won't tell anyone, even Rosalee or Hailey." "Why?" "You know Kyra's father's reputation?" "A little; it sound's bad." "If what you've heard is only bad then you haven't heard enough. He can never know what I'm about to tell you and I may never be able to tell you the whole story." "Okay, I won't say anything but I don't necessarily believe you." "Kyra needed to convince her father I was her boyfriend for a while. It *IS* only for a while but she and Mark convinced me it was important. If I thought it would become a matter for speculation I would have let you know first. I am sorry. I promise you I have nothing more than friendly feelings for Kyra." "You've never done more than kiss?" "Only because it was necessary." "Necessary! You *ARE* a bastard." "I could have simply said No but I don't want to keep secrets from you." "*WHY* was it *NECESSARY*? And what do you actually mean anyway?" I kicked myself for starting down the track of even partial honesty but I figured Anna was just as likely to approach Kyra and seek some sort of confirmation of my truthfulness as she had promised to do when I first dated Rosalee and Hailey. "I really can't tell you everything. Mr Pringle had to think we were having sex. (True) We arranged it so we got caught. (Well the way we arranged things meant Michelle ended up catching us)" "Did you enjoy it?" "Have you ever known me not to enjoy it? But this was strictly an arrangement for me. I don't care for her. I care for you." "I'm not sure that I care for you any more." "I'm sorry for that." "Why? 'Cause you can't get a little ever night?" "Because I love you and value your friendship and would miss not being able to sleep next to you." "So, did you 'sleep' with *HER* again?" "We did try a couple of times before I got called up before her father but he has made his views on my ongoing behaviour clear." "You must be really good friends to get so friendly." "It all started before *WE* did anything and as far as I'm concerned it finished then as well." "I don't know, that kiss seemed to say things were still going strong. It doesn't make any sense - who has sex just to get caught by their parents?" "What would *YOU* do to get out of an arranged marriage if one of the conditions was that the bride be a virgin? And I never said that!" "Arranged marriages! Who does that any more?" "Certain families that want to merge business empires and I'm *NOT* going to get drawn into that. I don't want you to get hurt Anna and if you say anything about this to anyone it could happen." "What about you? If I could get into trouble just talking about it what risks were you running by being caught with her?" "When I agreed I didn't care; since then I've fallen in love with three wonderful women. I'm just trying to ride out the storm until Kyra 'dumps' me. Spending time with Michelle makes me more acceptable and my life expectancy goes up." "You're not joking - are you?" "Only a little. Kyra's father could have gotten nasty. As it is I just have to not 'do anything to make his daughter unhappy', according to him." "And what if she doesn't want to dump you?" "Kyra just wants her own future out of her father's control. I don't expect to do anything with her again now we've been discovered." "Why you though? Surely she knows lots of guys?" "They knew her father's reputation too well and hadn't just lost their whole family." "Oh Roger, I hadn't thought you were upset like that but of course you would be." "I'm not now. I've got new people in my life who mean even more to me." "Really?" "Really." "And you don't love Kyra?" "I love you and Rosalee and Hailey, and I'm pretty fond of your mother but not in the same way." "*THAT'S* a relief." Anna paused. "Do you promise you won't have sex with her again?" "Your mother?" "Kyra, idiot!" "I have no intention at this time of ever having sex with other than you three. I can't promise to love you forever and a day. I can promise to do my best to try to." I got a hug though not a kiss yet. I wasn't quite off the hook. "You hurt me." "I'm sorry. Really sorry." "I felt bad. *REALLY* bad." "I'd like to try and make it up." "What? More sex?" "If that's what you want but I was thinking of running a bubble bath for you and getting you a hot chocolate." "You think that would make it all better!?" "It might make you feel a little better and that would be a start." "Alright, but what am I going to say to Ma?" "The guy you had your heart set on turned out to be a real jerk?" "Hmm. That's certainly believable." "More than that; it's the truth. If I thought I would ever have hurt you like this I'd have done things differently." Possibly even staying with the second choice of host families so we would never have met. --- "You took a while. How is she?" "Going to have a soak and a hot chocolate. Apparently there was a boy she liked who proved unworthy of her affection." The kettle was hot and I gathered the makings while it came to the boil. "She said there was someone she was interested in. Did she say who it was?" I shook my head. "I think she's going to be okay now though." I lifted the mug. "I'll just deliver this while she's still decent." "Thanks Roger. I think she likes you." "I like Anna too. I never had a sister." I opened the bathroom door and put the mug down on the floor by the side of the bath. "You look quite decent under all those bubbles." "I wish you were under them with me." "Does that mean I'm forgiven?" "I didn't say you would be able to come up for air. No, it means I'm willing to consider sex as part of your apology." "I could organise a big bubble bath for us all for Saturday if you like. I'm supposed to plan this weekend." "I'd rather it was just us." "Well Rosalie and Hailey have mass on Sunday - we could spend some time together then." "You don't have to go back to Kyra's?" I'd been with Kyra and Mark the previous two Sundays. "Mr Pringle is going away so there is no point." "You really are only helping Kyra?" "Anna, I promise I have no romantic interest in Kyra at all but I may have to pretend to for a while." "Give me a kiss then and get out of here before we're caught." I came out and found Ma just turning at the top of the stairs. "Decent? Hmm!" "Well, covered in bubbles. You can see for yourself." "I don't doubt you Roger. I know you care for each other. Try not to hurt her though - again." I always said Ma was no fool. "I don't want to see her hurt ever." "I'll accept that, but I'll also be watching." She went back downstairs and I went to start my homework. --- Anna suggested I shouldn't come to her room that night. She'd mostly forgiven me but I guess still wanted to work through the whole "He screwed someone else!" issue. She did tell me she wanted to take advantage of both my offers though - a chance for a shared bubble bath and a chance to be alone. She also suggested I should go and see Rosalee for a while before it got dark as her parents wouldn't be too controlling then. I was a little surprised but asked her if she liked ten pin bowling. When she told me she hadn't been I suggested it might be a fun outing for Saturday - we really needed to relate socially in a fun way as well as through sex. Anna agreed - so long as we got to have the sex as well. "I'll see what I can do." I called Hailey before going and asked her about bowling on Saturday after soccer. She agreed and then told me Rosalee hadn't believed her. I knew she meant regarding my nocturnal visit. She also said she hoped we would have as much fun the coming Saturday as we had the week before and I promised to do what I could. Rosalee's father opened the door and called out to her when I asked if she was home. Rosalee came running with a joyous "Roger!" and it was only her father's continuing presence that prevented her launching herself at me. "Dad, this is Roger. Roger, my Dad." "Hello sir." I turned to include Rosalee when I asked, "Is it okay if I visit for a while?" "Have you finished your homework Rosalee?" "All but a novel I have to read. I was going to do that in the bath." "Okay then but I don't really want this to become a habit on school nights." "I understand sir." Rosalee grabbed my hand and pulled me after her. "Stay out of the bedrooms!" "D-a-a-a-d!" Rosalee changed direction and took me out the back instead. I waved to her mother as we went past. "Hello Mrs Lafayette." "Hello Roger. Bye Roger," she laughed. "I've missed you!" Rosalee gave me a quick kiss before her father had a chance to peer out the window at us sitting on a porch swing seat. We were in plain sight yet out of hearing if we talked quietly. "Hailey pass on my apologies?" "She said you went by and the lights were off - *AND* that hers weren't and you *DIDN'T* go by there!" "A most accidental and yet fortunate occurrence. I think adding the danger of getting caught makes making love that little bit more exciting - provided you don't actually get caught. That would put a damper on it." "You actually made love in her room!?" "You know her pink rug?" "How could I forget it!" "It makes quite a comfortable mattress." "Damn!" "What?" "Well I can't sneak you in here. I've got to share with my little sister; she'd wake up and spoil everything. I can't even get up in the night without her stirring." "Mmm, a challenge! You need an alternative. Do you have any free periods at school?" "You want to meet me at my school!? Are you serious or just seriously crazy?" "No I wasn't really serious. I like seeing you get worked up." We held hands and kicked our heels on the back porch so the seat swung slowly. "What are we doing Saturday? Have you decided yet?" "I thought ten pin bowling and then bathing and perhaps a nice dinner." "What do you mean bathing?" "Anna wanted a big bubble bath we could all enjoy. I thought that sounded a good idea." "But where?" "Leave that to me." "Okay. I wish you could come visit me tonight." "I'd like that. When I was with Hailey we realised that we all needed to have some time together as well as our group time. We also need some fun time like the bowling in addition to our other fun times." "Hmm, yes. I think you are right. Let me just check Saturday is okay." Rosalee left me and put the group date proposition to her mother. Her father quite sensibly let his wife manage the task of saying no if she didn't think it appropriate. He trusted her decision and this way he was never the ogre for blocking his daughter's wishes and stood a better chance of being able to play the heavy should it really be needed one day. He had heard about me but hadn't met me before tonight. Rosalee seemed happy - other than on the Saturday following our first date - and that, provided she was behaving properly, was the main thing. He liked the idea we were going out as a group of friends rather than pairing off as boyfriend and girlfriend; it was too soon for that - plus there was the fact that I wasn't Catholic. Of course, the latter situation could be cured if matters proceeded in that direction. Unlike Adam Pringle, Mr Lafayette wasn't about to warn me off when it appeared I was just friends with all three girls at present. If I started seriously sniffing around Rosalee, well things might change. My rosy Rosy came back with a grin on her face. "I can go straight from Soccer and I don't need to be home until 11 this time provided the other girls are with us the whole time." "Well they might be in one room while we are in another but that would be the extent of any separation." "That sounds good enough to me." Knowing her father was settled in front of the TV, Rosalee became a little more amorous but the swing didn't really allow us to do much as it had a tendency to rock back a little way which made one feel it was going to tip us over backwards. "Why not show me the garden?" Circumnavigating the yard with our arms around each other was more satisfying than sitting swinging but still not as nice as properly kissing and cuddling. We didn't have long to ourselves though as Rosalee's brother and sister were finally allowed to come and bother us. "Rosy's got a boyfriend. Rosy's got a boyfriend." Rosalee was in no mood to disagree and just held my hand. "This is John Eggs," she indicated her brother - about eleven I guessed. "Eggs?" "Benedict. John Benedict, John Eggs." "O-kay. Hello John." "And we know you're Roger. Rosy talks about you *ALL* the time." "JB!" "Well you do. Doesn't she Sal?" The six year old nodded. This, it transpired, was Sally Teresa - named apparently in honour of Sister Bertrille and Mother Teresa. "So what's your middle name then Rosy?" "It doesn't matter." "I won't make fun." She sighed. "My name is Rosalee Immaculata. I was named after Mother's aunt. What about you?" "Sorry. I'm simple Roger NMN Torrent." "NMN?" asked John. "No Middle Name." "Do you l-o-o-o-v-e Rosy?" "Well she is a pretty special girl. I would think everyone would love her, don't you?" I don't know whether Rosalee blushed more at her brother's question or my answer. I wasn't going to give them more ammunition to tease her though. Well, not much. "Nah. She's a girl." "I do." Rosalee hugged her sister and then, to his disgust, John. The contrast with Kyra was noticeable. "Hey, I said nice things too!" So, of course, I got a hug too. The sun was in the process of setting which I guess is why the kids were sicced upon us after we had first been allowed some privacy. We went inside and Rosalee made me a coffee, offering to get one for her parents as well. We sat in the lounge to drink them and Mrs Lafayette turned the TV off. I don't think that impressed her husband but she wasn't going to be rude when I was the first young man to call upon her daughter since she was eight. I explained a little of my circumstances and Rosalee made a point of taking my hand when I mentioned I'd been orphaned in an accident. Her action could be taken as sympathy for a friend - or romantic interest. I didn't mind in the least. When I finished I thanked Rosalee again and announced it was time I should be going. Mr Lafayette eyed the controls and apparently agreed. "Will I see you at soccer on Saturday?" "Yes," answered Mrs Lafayette. "I'll be able to go this week. I might even get someone else out of bed for a change." She was determined to make her husband dislike me! Rosalee's siblings were sent off to the bathroom - Sally to get through first with her mother's help and JB to be ready to follow. Their house had an airlock type of arrangement at the front door and Rosalee took full advantage of the few minutes privacy to press herself to me and to swap a few litres of saliva. "I'm going to be so horny now!" "Well you can always do something about it in the bath. Think about what you would like us to do on Saturday - me or one of the others or all of us. Maybe we can make it happen." "Now I'm even hornier. Thanks!" "It's my pleasure." I'd been rubbing a breast and it was easy to notice how her nipple had hardened. I was sorry I couldn't tease it further with my tongue. Rosalee gave me a squeeze to prove that I was in a similar state to herself and I disengaged myself. "I wish I was Anna." "I'm glad you're not. I like seeing both of you." "No. I meant then you'd be coming back to me, not leaving me." "I'll see you on Saturday morning. Pack something you can wear bowling and something nicer for going out to dinner. Can you tell Hailey too please?" "Okay. How nice." "Special dinner nice. I'll have a tie and jacket." --- I showered and then read as I sat next to Anna while she watched TV. "You really like history, don't you?" "It's interesting, especially when you read two or more different views on why an event happened the way it did or explanations about how ordinary people went about their lives. I want to go and see the places I've read about." "That sounds lovely." "It would be nice to show them to you." "Oh like a date?" "A very long date. I think once I started looking I wouldn't want to stop." "Would we take Rosalee and Hailey?" "Hmm. That could be fun. Would you like to?" "I think I would. I know they wouldn't like to be left behind." "I thought you might prefer to have me to yourself." "I wouldn't mind but we certainly had fun together." "I just wonder how I'll survive." Anna turned to look at me. I'd sounded as if it was going to happen. We went to our rooms when the program had finished. I don't know why Anna watched but I was appreciative that the rest of her family didn't want to. It allowed us to sit together and by the end she was snuggled against me. I got a kiss goodnight at the top of the stairs and then a "see you in the morning" dismissal. We were friends again and cuddly friendly but Anna didn't want intimacies yet. I suspect I was being punished. I heard Doug come up and shortly after Ma followed. Brent was out somewhere and I hadn't spoken more than half a dozen words with him since Saturday. I drifted off, realising as I lay in my quiet room that I hadn't thought of the threat Michelle posed all evening. In fact it had only been when comparing Rosalee and Kyra that I had even thought of her. I decided that, on the evidence so far, Kyra might be justified in protesting her half-sister's existence. I wasn't sleepy enough to miss the shuffle and the tap on my window. I wasn't sure what Anna wanted but I wasn't about to leave her out there. I parted my curtains and lifted the window. "Can I come in?" "Any time." I helped her through. "I need a cuddle. Is that okay?" "One cuddle coming up. Are you sure you don't want to go back to your room?" "No. This is fine." It was too. We spooned together and Anna rubbed her butt against my crotch with the inevitable result. She let me hold her but indicated she was there to sleep so I made no advances. After a while that must have satisfied her level of adequate punishment and she moved my hand up to her breast. I held it, occasionally stroking her nipple as we finally fell asleep. --- Thump, thump. "Time to get up." "Okay." Oops. That was Anna, not me. Had Ma noticed? She had kept walking so perhaps not. I heard her go down the stairs and gave Anna a gentle slap when she started giggling. "I love waking up beside you." "It is nice, but you're going to cause us grief - big time! Let me check the way is clear." "Okay." Brent's door was closed - he had no classes until this afternoon, hence his late night. Doug could come out at any minute though but his door was closed at the moment. I pushed Anna out my room with another tap to her tush and closed the door quietly - waiting until I heard her own. There was a door but it wasn't Anna's. "Morning Dad." I heard her footsteps return and then go down the stairs to the landing. "Can I have just a couple of pieces of toast today please Ma? Thanks." She passed Doug as she climbed the stairs again and when she reached the top I came out to greet her. "Good morning." "Morning Rog. Sleep well?" I grabbed her and gave her a big kiss just out of sight of the stairwell. "Best ever. Catch you downstairs." Anna seemed as reluctant to let go as I was. --- Wednesday, Thursday, and, when Doug found I had nothing organised, Friday after school was spent learning to be a barista again. It was only for two hours at a time and that went fairly fast. Cleaning tables on the Thursday, I looked up to see Beverley and Michelle at the next table. "Hello Roger." "Hi Mrs Pringle." "Beverley's okay." "Thanks. Hello Michelle." "Hello Roger. You work here then?" "Either here or at the other shop." "I hope you've got *SUNDAY* off." "Looking forward to a rematch are you? I might lick you this time." Michelle glanced at her mother but she was apparently taking no notice of the secret conversation we shared, being more interested in our cake display. She excused herself and went for a closer look. "If the weather is fine maybe Mark could take us all out for a drive." "I was thinking along those lines. I haven't put anything to him yet - I figured if he had time to think he might change his mind and then I'd have to convince him all over again." "I knew I could depend on you." "Depend on Roger? Why?" "To suggest something nice." "A snowball - Iced white chocolate with frozen milk ice crystals and whipped cream topping." "It does sound delicious. I'll just have a caramel latte please and a slice of Tiramisu. Do you want a cake dear?" "No thank you mum." I went to get their order though normally they would have to front up at the counter. Nepotism could also extend to the family of friends. --- We took turns. Wednesday and Friday I slept with Anna, Thursday she slept with me again. We didn't stay the whole night through though after that first mistake. Anna kept up the pretence that I was in her bad books though she continued to tease me and I was gradually allowed to do more for her. Thursday night I snuggled in behind her once more and this time she let me reach in to finger her pussy. Well I say let but she actually took my hand and slid it up her thigh. She came to a satisfying conclusion and then, on recovering, pointed out that I hadn't come (to her in this instance accurate knowledge) since the very early hours of Tuesday morning. "Would you do it - so I can feel you coming next to me?" "Do it?" "Jerk off. You know, *REMEMBER*" And so I lay back, wrapped one arm around my favourite girl, and proceeded to use the other to satisfy her curiosity and my need. I eventually drew closer and reached for the box of tissues I knew were nearby. "Oh let me." Anna moved down and wrapped her lips around my knob. Once in position she opened her mouth slightly and, when I proved somewhat dense, moved my hand back to my organ. Keeping the tip within her lips I began to resume the interrupted rhythm until I had to acknowledge I was about to come. Anna's tongue flashed out and licked me before she stretched her mouth wide. I came and she caught every drop but then she crawled along my body and found my mouth to return it to me. With no practical alternative I accepted with as good a grace as I could manage and then Anna returned to my prick and sucked on me until she had cleaned me inside and out and I was beginning to show signs of resurrection. That was it though and I didn't get that much on Friday night though I fingered her to an orgasm in her own bed. With the plans I had made for Saturday and Sunday I was actually grateful she "let" me preserve my stamina. --- Saturday morning saw us all up early again but only Ma, Anna and I were in the car for the journey. Rosalee's mother and her younger children were there already and Hailey, who had been given a ride with them, was warming up with Rosalee. "Catch you later." Anna dashed off. We had only briefly discussed what I should say to the others about Kyra. I pointed out that since Kyra had preceded me becoming involved with them it was not particularly relevant, especially since Kyra was not going to happen again. Anna accepted that - or at least she said she did - but I kept expecting one or the other to look over at me with a hurt expression. They did look but always with a smile to find I was watching them and not one of the other sometimes more beautiful girls around the field. This time the Coach waved to me; I was somehow encouraging his girls to play while at the same time distracting the opposition so he didn't mind me being there. When the line up was finished he actually beckoned me in closer. Rosalee was second in line and, while I had given the first girl a peck, Rosalee was having none of that and made sure I was kissed properly. She growled when number three tried to do the same, "Watch it; he's spoken for!" Number four behaved herself but then complained when Hailey copied Rosalee. The team knew I'd taken them both out so they were still guessing who I fancied. The girls after Hailey thought it worthwhile stirring Rosalee up but even they weren't expecting Anna, deliberately on the end of the line, to put her hands to my cheeks while she kissed me passionately. "Saved the best till last?" she whispered. "Are we here to play soccer or fool around?" asked the Captain of the other team. "I didn't know we had a choice; let me think for a second." My team cheered my statement and headed out onto the field. I retreated listening to their outrageous comments. "He's dating all of us." "He's built like a donkey." "We can't keep up!" I only hoped the parents couldn't hear the lies their daughters were spreading to the other team. "You seem to get more attention each week Roger." "Rosy's got a boyfriend!" Sally declared. "I wonder," said Ma quietly so only I could hear. "Just look at the other team. Half of them are looking over this way. Now look at our team - they're ready to win." "Is it honest though?" Mrs Lafayette asked. "If our girls can focus and the other team can't then I'd say we were the better players." Ma at least supported the strategy - I just liked kissing the girls. I stood a little back from the sideline so I didn't block the linesman's path or his view but positioned myself where I was clearly visible to the other team's defenders who had a burst of activity and then had to just move up to the centre line to keep our forwards liable to being called offside. With the ball near our goalie they were occasionally distracted and I nodded or waved when they looked my way. That had them looking to see if it was them or one of Anna's team that I was addressing and that was when the ball came down the pitch while they were not paying enough attention. Our forwards started moving when the ball was kicked and were a good ten metres ahead of the opposition when the ball met up with them. Their Captain yelled but it was drowned by our supporters and though the other team had caught up before we managed to score there was enough of an advantage that we managed to give the keeper plenty to do and eventually we were given a corner that we did score off of. With the pause in play the Captain - and their Coach - harangued the poor defenders. No-one likes being publicly blamed especially when there is good reason that the blame is deserved. They paid attention until they had to come closer as the ball headed over near the sidelines. "Tell me, does Blondie's thatch match her cellar?" The other girl, a brunette, started and looked at me puzzled. Then it clicked and she giggled. She ignored me but, moving across the pitch as she followed the ball and our forwards, she met up with said Blondie and quite clearly told her what I had said. Blondie was indignant and glared, first at me and then at her team mate for finding it so funny. That was when the ball came soaring down the pitch again and this time our forwards scored without interference. The Captain spoke to the two girls and then asked the Referee whether I could be removed. There was no reason to as I hadn't gone within a metre of the pitch and if I had been making improper comments he only had their word for it. I thought a two-nil lead fifteen minutes into the first half wasn't a bad effort since our girls had had to take advantage of the situation and the first goal hadn't been a walkover. "What did you say to upset them?" asked Ma. Making sure Rosalee's younger siblings couldn't hear, I told her and Mrs Lafayette. "That's terrible!" Mrs Lafayette exclaimed but she couldn't help smiling. "I've seen her play last year though and blonde isn't her natural colour." Ma had laughed at my comment and now laughed even louder. The two teams looked over at the noise while they were waiting for the kick off and Blondie must have realised she was the subject of their amusement. Even away from the pitch I seemed to be having an effect. Of course when the ball came forward both Coach and Captain were busy unnecessarily telling the defenders to get ready. That only put their backs up because this time they were and the Captain didn't move up as much as she should have so that, when the direction of the ball changed and it headed to her, the whistle blew to call her offside. She tried to blame that on the defenders too but they weren't having any of it. "Just watch your own game!" came across the pitch. Divide and conquer was as much fun as watching the actual game and, until word was spread around, we could continue to repeat it week after week. We didn't score because of the offside but I noticed that as a team we spent much more time visiting their goalkeeper than they did ours. The second half was much the same though I behaved - if you don't count my taking off my tracksuit pants to reveal a pair of Lycra bicycle shorts with pink and green panels. Guaranteed to attract the eye and, from where I stood behind Ma, it was mainly the opposition who saw me. "Roger are you doing that deliberately?" "If I said no, would you believe me?" "No." I didn't answer but we both grinned. Our team did play well though and my loves performed their parts. In the end it was Rosalee who scored the last goal of the match to cause an eventual three-one win. Sally and John were excited and when they grabbed my hands to dance I quite happily joined in; the three of us going in a circle while Ma and their mother watched. We didn't have a post-game "tradition" but as the girls came running off they all headed past me and I was kissed on the cheek by each one as they went by. The other team just glared. Two of the three girls crammed in the back with me once again - sweaty, muddy, happy. Anna rode shotgun again while her mother drove but Ma kept watching us in the mirror, trying to decide what was really going on between us. They headed upstairs to use the showers like the previous week while I joined Ma in the kitchen getting drinks together. "You're very friendly with the girls. Are you Rosalee's boyfriend as her sister said?" "At this stage I'm just enjoying being friends with all of them. If she wants to call me her boyfriend I've no problems with that but I'm not promising not to see other people." "Was that why Anna was upset?" "Yes and no. Anna and I are in a different situation to Rosalee and Hailey. I love to be with all of them, we get on well together so far and because they've been friends before it is easier to go out together." "But there's romantic feelings between you and Anna?" "Yes, I guess there are. Where they can go I don't know but I respect all three of them and was very sorry I hurt Anna's feelings. "That's part of being a teenager - finding out thoughtless actions can hurt people. Learning from those mistakes and trying not to repeat them is part of being an adult. Take your time, get to know them properly, and see which one - if any of them - you care for the most, then try to let the others down gently. Understand?" "Yes Ma." "Then get ready and enjoy yourselves. Can you put some gas in the car please? Here's forty." "It's okay, I can cover it. I was going to get a cab home." Ma looked pleasantly surprised and put her money away. I headed upstairs and knocked on Anna's door. "Are you ready?" Anna opened it a little but saw I was alone and showed me Hailey and Rosalee in their underwear with Rosalee rubbing Hailey's pussy from the side of her knickers. "Starting without me, eh?" "You'll have to wait a bit longer." I gave Anna a kiss. "Finish her off or wait until later but get her dressed Sweetheart." Hailey and Rosalee just grinned at me. I had to change out of a dirt-stained shirt and used the toilet before freshening up. One never knew what might happen. By the time I was out Hailey had been beaten into submission and was almost dressed. The girls had each packed something nice to wear to dinner as well as their "standard" attire. When I loaded their bags into the boot I lifted out the special bags so they weren't with the wet and sweaties which we dropped off on the way out. First stop was the bowling alley since we had to finish before the afternoon league started. Shoes were easy enough with Anna and Hailey having to swap theirs for another size and then it was a matter of trying to find a ball with a reasonable weight *AND* holes that fit their hands. The three girls were fit but playing soccer and training for that did not build up their upper body strength to the same degree. Hailey found her own ball and I helped Anna and Rosalee try some at the lighter end of the range. I found one at 15lb that seemed a perfect fit and decided not to worry further. >>>> I wasn't a regular bowler by any means but there hadn't been too many options where I was growing up and watching the other bowlers in an air-conditioned building was an acceptable pastime on a hot summer's day or during winter. So long as we bought a soda or snack every now and then and behaved reasonably quietly the manager didn't mind. We might not have had much money at the time but we were potential future customers and he also figured there was less chance of us graffiti-ing or vandalising the alley if we were "friends" rather than being told to move on all the time. Occasionally we could earn free games by doing odd jobs so we eventually learned how to play ourselves. <<<< Now it was Anna and Rosalee's turn to make fools of themselves as I was sure I still could. "You want to show them what to do Hailey? I'm rather rusty." "No, I wouldn't dream of it. I only spent a couple of sports classes learning how to bowl. I don't claim to be an expert." "Okay, blind leading the blind then. First thing is how to hold the ball." I demonstrated and all three stood copying me in the little space between the scoring table and the row of seats for those waiting their turn. "Second thing is not to drop the ball as you swing through and the third is to let go when you are at the right place in the swing." "When is the right place?" "When the ball doesn't crash at your feet and it doesn't fly up in the air to bounce down the alley with a similar crash. If you bend your knees at the end of your walk up you will be able to just slide it along the floor. Watch that guy over there. He's got the ball resting on his palms. His forearms are upright so he doesn't strain them while he's focussing on the pins. His foot is on the mark - we'll look at them - and he steps off. Not too fast and the ball swings through and goes down the alley. There's some spin and it makes the ball turn to come in from the side more but don't worry about that at first. "Okay he was a little too far back and he's left that row down the side so he gets six. Now he has a second shot to try to get the rest down. If he had managed all ten with the first ball that would be a strike which goes up on the scoreboard with an X. If he took two balls to get all ten it is called a spare and we just use a diagonal line in the second little box." "Okay, got that. Why don't you show us how you do it then?" Anna loved to give me a hard time. It was nice that it didn't related to my hardness for a change. "Okay then, but it has been a while. Put your balls here and then sit where I won't hit you if I do drop the ball on my back swing." "Why don't we sit and you can put *YOUR* balls on our chests instead?" I ignored Rosalee. It was surprising how the feel of the *BOWLING* ball came back even though it must have been three years at least since I had stood at the end of a lane. >>>> One of the old league ex-champions had taken an interest in us kids and had given us tips which had improved our games. Hell that hadn't been hard - I didn't hit three figures until he'd coached me for probably as many weeks. It was surprising how effective not putting your ball in the gutter could be. I never got really good but I felt better not looking like a real dork. Of course concentration was easier once I had some extra training - in relaxation techniques, and a practical course in trajectories didn't hurt though I didn't have to worry about windage and the effect of gravity. <<<< When I took those steps forward and the ball just glided away from me I stayed crouched and watched the ball spin as it rolled. Headed a little off centre, it came back as I wanted it to but had so seldom managed to make happen. I didn't even have to watch then to know that I had a strike but I waited until the barrier dropped to sweep the debris away. "There! I hope you were all paying attention because that may be the only strike you see from me." It would be a rarity because I knew it could easily happen - over and over - and there were four reasons why I couldn't come out and bowl a near perfect game : I wasn't supposed to draw that sort of attention to myself; and I had three young ladies who didn't need to be shown up. If Hailey turned out running rings around the rest of us it wasn't going to wound my male pride. Hailey did bowl next due to a reluctance on the part of the others to go first. She would have had a strike too except she released too soon and much of the force of her swing was absorbed by the floor. Seven with an easy spare. As Hailey prepared to bowl again I pointed out to the others how she aligned her starting position so she was bowling across the lane rather than next to the gutter. Anna volunteered to go next and, other than some awkwardness over which foot to start with, did alright except the ball went into the left gutter soon after she had released it. "Sweetheart, go through your swing standing still. Where does your hand finish?" Anna mentally repeated the swing then made her arm go through the motion. Her hand finished up near her left elbow. "So you're pulling the ball across your body. Try making your fingers point at the pins." Anna nodded. "You couldn't have told me *BEFORE* I wasted that turn?" Her next ball was almost spot on but not hard enough to do much damage. Split pairs for six. Rosalee had benefited from watching both Hailey and Anna and listening to my advice. She was not familiar with the game itself but she understood the physics behind the way the ball travelled and how it was a matter of transferring energy from one system to another. Anna's second ball had taken forever to get to the pins and when it did it almost stalled. Rosalee wasn't going to have that happen to her. I was afraid at first that she would end up halfway down the lane when I saw her take off. Then I was afraid the ball would crash straight through the floor. Rosalee had somehow lifted the ball almost vertically above her head then had hurled it in an arc that unfortunately kept going. She did follow through with her hand so that her fingers were pointing at the tops of the pins - unfortunately her ball was still on them. However, such was the power that, when the ball hit, pins went everywhere guaranteeing total annihilation at Ground Zero. Rosalee danced around like I had at soccer - she had scored a strike on her first ball ever. Hailey turned to me and we both grinned at her joy. --- I made some adjustments and got a spare for the next frame as did Hailey. Anna got seven and a gutter ball on the right but at least near the remaining pins rather than closer down the lane. Then it was Rosalee's turn and she took her place with excitement. Unfortunately the first ball had been very much a case of beginner's luck. Rosalee copied Anna's first mistake and moved her arm across her body while at the same time giving it the same heft as before. She got six pins down but unfortunately they weren't on her lane. It was hard not to laugh when she asked if they still counted. I reset those pins and the girls graciously decided to accept it as a practise shot. I quietly spoke with Rosalee and suggested not quite so much swing so she could release it closer to the ground. She followed my advice getting five and then three. I deliberately put the wrong spin on my first ball so it curved into the gutter rather than back on the pins, effectively wasting my spare. Hailey got seven then missed her spare while Anna ended with nine. Rosalee showed she had a beautiful form and her first ball took out eight. Then she showed she had inconsistency and the ball dropped heavily and found the gutter half way down. It was the sort of game I had been used to when I'd first started playing and we continued to an eventual win for Hailey. "Want a drink?" I asked just before the final frame of the first game. I took their orders and declined any offer of assistance. While I was at the counter a voice I recognised - though I'd heard it only once - said, "It's been so long since Hubby and I have been bowling. I like where you take your dates. We've got a room too and plan to use the spa bath later." A key appeared on the counter and went into my pocket with the change. "Thanks Auntie. I hope you and Uncle enjoy yourselves." "If we don't you might hear a knock on *YOUR* door." I took the drinks without further conversation. It really was supposed to be a silent handover - all James Bond and MI5ish - but in a place like this people did make odd comments to strangers without anyone noticing, or caring. The second game saw Hailey peter out half way through while Anna found her second wind and managed two strikes and then two spares to give her a credible jump. Rosalee continued to be erratic though with spares followed by low scores so that, while she had a lot of black in the boxes at the top of each frame, her score only advanced slowly. I think that the best part of the second game though was when they decided the person who had just bowled should sit on my lap. We couldn't fool around - even kissing would get us noticed unfavourably - but a hug with a pretty girl wasn't to be knocked back. We lunched there; nothing flash, just burgers or dogs with fries to share and copies of the score sheet as souvenirs. "Now the day's events are up to you. We can have a bubble bath or see a movie before dinner or after dinner as you wish or you can skip the movie or the bubble bath if you prefer." "Roger can you get us another cola to share please?" I suspected they needed to have a round table discussion without me and left them to it. I was right. Rosalee and Hailey were concerned about their situation since both were bleeding and didn't know how I'd react. They had almost said they wouldn't come but being together even if they couldn't join in was preferable to being alone. Anna assured them that I was quite laid back and when I returned the verdict was bubble bath first. *********************************************************
