As we came into the house, Dad took the twins into the front room and Gran headed for the kitchen, as Mum pointed up the stairs. As we both walked up, she said “if you need the toilet go now – I don’t know if you will get the chance before lunch is ready.”
Cassie walked to the bathroom, leaving me as Mum looked at me and said “Well?”
“I’ll go when Cassie comes out,” I said quietly.
“And?”
“And when I come out, there will be no problem,” I said quietly, Mum nodding as Cassie came out with her jacket on her arm, and I went in. I removed what needed to be removed, did what I needed to do, and left something in the laundry basket as I came back out.
“So what are you going to do – hogtie us on the bed?”
“Oh no – something a little less strenuous,” Mum said as she handed me a pair of socks, which I pulled on over my hands. I then was taken by surprise as she produced a length of cord, crossed my wrists in front of me, and then lashed them tightly together. I figured I had a chance now – but then I went into Cassie’s room, and I knew I was sunk.
Cassie was lying on her back, her wrists obviously crossed and tied together in front of herself – because Mum had lifted them above her head and tied them to the top of the bed. She had also crossed Cassie’s ankles and tied them together – before securing them to the foot of the bed.
“I don’t think this is going to be easy,” she said as Mum put a pillow next to her feet, and I lay down, watching as she lifted my wrists above my head and secured them next to Cassie’s feet. I wasn’t surprised when she crossed my ankles and tied them together, then to the top of the bed as well.
“Now then, you can try and get free, or just stay here until Lunch is ready,” she said as she folded two cloths, “open wide.”
We looked at each other on the bed and then felt the cloth on our tongues as the cloth was pushed into our mouths, and then she covered our lips with a wide strip of red tape. “Enjoy the down time,” she said quietly as she left, closing the door behind us as we looked at our own hands.
It was obvious there was no way we could free each other, so we just ay back, as I wondered why Mum hadn’t said anything. Then I realised she wouldn’t – Cassie was growing up, but she was still too young…
“That was delicious – thank you Mum,” I said as I pushed my dessert pate away, “Cassie and I will do the washing up.”
“Good – I was hoping you would volunteer,” Mum said, as I stood up and started to gather the plates while Cassie went to run some water for the glasses. I scraped the food into the bin, and arranged the plates in the dishwasher while Gran came and started to make some coffee.
“You were quick to volunteer,” she said quietly.
“Yeah – Mum knows I did something today without asking first, so this is me paying my penance.”
She looked over at Mum, and then said “good – take responsibility for your actions.”
I smiled as I watched David and June walk in with Aunt Cassie and Aunt Jo, while Cassie washed and I started to dry the glasses. At least I was paying it quietly…
“What have you done to upset Mum?”
I looked at Cassie, and said “made a mistake – it’s going to be okay now though.”
The Monday morning break found me in my usual place – sitting in the common room with Alicia, Mary and Cathy, discussing the events of the weekend.
“You got busted,” Alicia said, laughing as she shook her head.
“Yeah and I paid the price. Anyway, weren’t you at the Renaissance Fair on Sunday?
“Ah yes – Martin and I were the troubadours, walking round the fair ground and entertaining the visitors.”
“And doing a very good job of it as well,” Mary said as she put her drink down, “Mark and I visited, and we stood to watch Martin on the lute and Alicia on the vocals.”
“I KNEW I had seen both of you,” Alicia said with a grin, “where did you go off to?”
Mary blushed as she said “well, we walked round the stalls, and somehow – don’t ask me how – I ended up volunteering for the stocks…”
All three of us burst out laughing at that, as Mary blushed and smiled. “Okay – setting that aside, what did you and Samuel get up to over the weekend Cathy?”
“He went to be fitted for his tux for Friday night – his aunt and I had to virtually drag him into the rental place.”
“Well, this could get very interesting. I trust you finally made it out alive?”
“Of course I did – Samuel wanted it in the end. Once he had been persuaded…”
“So we all have our gowns sorted for Friday,” Alicia said, “and presumably the boys have their tuxedos sorted out. What else?”
“I think Mum is sorting out the corsages on behalf of the boys – but they’re dong five. Why would they…” Cathy then slapped her head as she said “stop me for a fool –Cassie is going to Bobby’s prom, right?”
“Yup – So Mum and Dad get a nice quiet night, and Bobby’s parents get to do something to entertain Suzie.”
“I’m sure they will think of something,” Mary said with a grin. “Anyway, you girls still good for tomorrow night?”
“Gather at your place? Sounds good to me.” I smiled as the bell started to ring. “But, in the meantime, I have a discussion on Pride and Prejudice. See you girls later.”
Tuesday night found me walking up the path to Mary’s place – only to be taken by surprise as the door opened and her brother Eddie coming out with Alicia’s sister Angela.
“Hey – I didn’t know you were both back,” I said with a smile. Eddie had just completed his degree course, while Angela had finished her first year.
“Yeah, well, exams are over, and I’m just waiting to hear what I have got and when the graduation ceremony is,” Eddie said, “and then I find out if my postgrad application has been accepted. At any rate, we have to get going – you’ll find Alicia inside with Mary.”
“Thanks,” I said as I came in, slipped my jacket off and hung it up, and then went into the front room. I was wearing my usual sweatshirt and jeans, with black trainers, while I saw Alicia was in a pair of black leggings and a blue tunic top with slippers. “So what is the topic of conversation girls?”
“Plans for the summer – what else,” Mary said as she stretched her legs out and wriggled her toes. She was very Cathy like in her white top and floral skirt – and as Cathy came in, wearing an open collared blouse over a jumper and jeans, Alicia and I just burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny,” Cathy said as she looked at us.
“Nothing, nothing – right, summer holiday plans. Jenny?”
“Well, actually – the family is off to Australia for a couple of months, to visit my other grandparents.”
“Ooookay,” Alicia said, “that counts you out for the break. Mary?”
“Family trip to France after Eddie’s graduation,” Mary said, “Cathy?”
“No idea yet – what about you Alicia?”
“That’s easy – we’re heading over to Maine to visit Sarah and Brian. Alicia is also talking to Chloe about the wedding and some arrangements for that.”
“Enough about the summer though,” I said, “I want to discuss something else?”
“What you were wearing under your skirt on Sunday?”
“Yeah - look, let’s be honest. We’ve all tried it, right?”
I looked at all three of them as they nodded.
“So come on – how did it feel to you?”
“Great, if truth be told – why do you ask?”
“Something that’s always bugged me from a couple of years ago,” I said as I looked at Alicia. “Happy time.”
“Happy… Oh now I know what you’re getting at,” Alicia said, “and?”
“Who wants to volunteer for an experiment?”
