## An Education: Softly Softly

Post by KP Presents » Tue Jul 22, 2014 5:18 am

“Louise Hobson, have you finished clearing your room up yet?”
“Yes Dad,” I said with a sigh as I put the last of my books away, and then walked back downstairs. Dad had been very protective of me for the last few days, ever since the incident at the Cottrell farm – and I can’t say I blame him really. Any dad would be upset if their daughter was held hostage overnight.
If he knew everything that had happened since a couple of weeks before the ends of term, however, I think he might have either fainted or gone ballistic. After all, I am the ten year old apple of his eye – if her only knew what Patty, Fiona and I got up to when we visited Charlie and Lisa Williamson that day, or when we all stayed up at the manor house…
I mean, I can’t quite believe it either – a girl like me, staying with Lord and Lady Holderness? Becoming friends with their family and Patty’s friends and family? It was a completely unique experience – as was learning how to move when tied up in old and big clothes, or spending the night bound and tape gagged?
Despite that, they weren’t the really exciting things that happened to me this summer. Last September, the old man who owned Cottrell Farm died, and his son moved in with his family – three sons, one of whom looked to be the same age as me. Dad and I dropped in to say hi one day, and we met them – Mark, Eric and Frank. Frank was cute, but looked as if this was the last place we wanted to be.
We called round a few times after that, but every time Frank disappeared as we came in, or had gone before we arrived. His mum said he was very very shy, and al his friends were at his school, so he tended to either stay in the house or play in the woods behind the farm.
Which was frustrating to me – because I thought he was really really cute. I kept finding reasons to walk past the farmhouse, but he never seemed to be there – and then last week, I was going with Patty to see if Cassie wanted to play some games, when we bumped into her and Lisa, and they said they were going to the farm!
So when Patty said they would tag along, I agreed – and I discovered there was a shortcut from Cassie and Lisa’s house to the farm, through the woods. We got to the farm, and Lisa knocked on the door I thought I’d get to finally talk to him.
No chance – turned out he was visiting his uncle with his brother, and only Eric was home. So we sat and talked for a while, and then just as we were about to leave – wham bam, masked robbery man!
We ended up spending the night there, tied and gagged, and for the whole time Patty told me it was a game, and I believed her. After all, Lisa and Cassie didn’t say anything different, so I just went along with it, thinking it was just like when we stayed at the Manor House.
The arrival of the police the next day, and the look on Dad’s face when he found me, did kind of give the truth away however – and when dad told me it was a real robbery, I should have been really scared.
But I wasn’t, and I realised that pretending it was a game had made it just that. I really did like playing these games, but I knew Dad might object.
Mind you, Dad seemed to have other things on his mind the last few weeks. Mum died about six years ago, when I was four – Dad told me at the time she had got very sick, and in the end the doctors could do nothing. I have memories of her in the hospital bed, a scarf over her head because the hair had all fallen out, and telling me to be brave.
Anyway, about three years ago we went on holiday to the US, and we met this woman there who had a son my age. We got on great, going to the same places for the two weeks we were there, and we’ve kept in touch ever since. Recently Dad’s been spending a lot of time on Skype talking to her, and yesterday he told me he was going to go over for a couple of weeks, and would I mind staying with Fiona while he did that?
I did wonder why he didn’t want me to come, but he said he’d explain everything when he came back, and I had to accept that.
So here I was, walking down the street, and wondering what I wanted to do today. I’d already called Fiona, but she had gone off with her mum to do something, so I was thinking on going round to Patty’s house. I’d told Dad where I was going, and he asked if I wanted a lift, but I told him I would take the shortcut to their street.
There was, of course, only one teeny little problem with that – I’d have to go past the Cottrell farm, and I didn’t really want to do that without permission, so as I stopped in front of the farmhouse I was in two minds – do I knock and ask if it is all right for me to sue the short cut, or do I just take it anyway?
Decisions, decisions, decisions…
I’m not sure how long I stood there for, looking to see if Frank was around, before I heard a voice call out and say “hey Louise – what are you doing standing there?”
I turned round as soon as I heard it, and recognised Charlie Williamson as he came up. He was wearing a blue polo shirt - the same colour as my short sleeved summer dress – and black shorts. I had a scarf tied over my hair, to keep it out of the way more than anything else.
“What brings you this way,” Charlie said as he caught up with me.
“Me? I was thinking of going to Patty’s for the afternoon,” I said with a smile. “What are you doing here?”
“Oh I’m playing with Frank,” he said as if it was the most common thing in the world for him to do. “You haven’t met him yet, have you?”
“Frank? Yeah I’ve met him once, but not really want to talk to. Where is he?”
“He’s around here somewhere,” Charlie said as he looked round, “Why don’t you come with me and see if we can find him.”
He took me by the hand and walked me across the yard, chickens running past both of us as he looked round.
“Hey Frank,” he called out, “come on out, it’s only Louise.”
He was looking over at one of the barns as he said this, but I couldn’t see anyone.
“It’s all right Frank – she’s not Patty,” he then said with a laugh, and I finally saw him come out, wearing a pair of blue dungarees over a red t-shirt. He blushed a deep red as he walked slowly over, his head down as he came to join us.
“Right then,” Charlie said with a smile, “Louise, this is Frank, Frank this is Louise.”
“Hi,” I said as I looked at him, and he lifted his head, looked at me and said in a soft, quiet voice “hi.” Somehow, it sounded right for him, as we shook hands.
“Why are you blushing,” he said as he looked up, and I realised my cheeks were a little warm.
“Well,” I said eventually, “I was wondering if I could use the short cut to get to Patty’s place.” I saw Charlie and Frank exchange a look, as if something had been planned, before Charlie said “I don’t think they’ll mind, but do you have to go right now? Frank and I were wondering if you’d like to play with us first?”
“Oh,” I said quietly, “play what?”
“A tie-up game – I’ve been telling Frank about the games we play, and I know you like playing them…”
“Says who?” I said indignantly.
“Says me, Lisa, Patty, Rachel, Cassie – want me to go on?”
I blushed and shook my head, before I said “All right – what’s the game?”
“Well, if we tie you up,” Charlie said with a smile, “we dare you to walk to the street at the other end of the path like that.”
“WHAT!!!”
Frank giggled a little at my outburst, as I said “no way – what if somebody sees me?”
“They won’t – nobody knows the path runs through here except us and our friends, so nobody else uses it. Trust me, Louise – you’re perfectly safe with us.”
I looked at Frank, who nodded before I said “all right – I’ll accept the dare. What are we going to use?”
“We have some rope in the house,” Frank said, “which we can use. Mum and Dad use it for boxes and things at the market, but they won’t mind if we use it.”
“Sounds good – we can get some tape and things in there as well?”
Frank nodded as we started to walk towards his house. As we got close to the front door, however, I turned and started running, shouting “You’re not going to take me prisoner” as I ran across the yard.
“CATCH HER!” Charlie shouted out as they both ran after me into the field. I laughed and giggled as they both ran after me, twisting to and fro until Frank finally caught me and said “Hold it right there” without a hint of embarrassment, but with a lot of panting.
“Well done,” Charlie said, “now don’t let go of her or she might run away again!”
“If you promise not to run away again, I will let go of you,” Frank whispered as he looked at me.
“I can’t promise that,” I said with a smile.
“Then I guess I’ll just have to keep hold of you,” Frank said, and he took hold of my hand as we walked back with Charlie. And you want to know something?
It felt great to hold Frank’s hand! “You’re not going to escape now,” he said as he gave my hand a little squeeze, and I nodded in agreement as we went back to the farmyard.
“Guard the prisoner while I find some things,” Charlie said as he went into the house, and Frank and I looked at each other. He blushed again and said nothing as he let go of my hand.
“So did you read the book,” I eventually said.
“Hmm? What book,” Frank replied.
“The one Lisa brought from Charlie that day – the Harry Potter one.”
“Oh yeah – I finished it,” Frank said as he scuffed the ground with his trainer. “I liked it, but it dragged a little bit in the middle.”
Smiling I said “So who’s your favourite character then?”
“I like Luna Lovegood, if truth be told,” he said with a smile, “she’s slightly wacky, but her heat is in the right place.”
I laughed at that.
“What’s funny?”
“Sorry – you don’t often get a boy saying Luna Lovegood.”
“No,” he said with a smile, “I don’t suppose you do.”
We fell silent again for a minute, before I said “so do you have many friends?”
“Not really – apart from Charlie, they’re all in my class and live a fair way away. Only Charlie can come regularly – and he’s going to the States tomorrow for a couple of weeks.”
I nodded at that – Lisa had told me the same thing.
“It’s going to be a bit quiet round here without Charlie to play with,” he said as he looked round.
“Well, I could be your friend, if you wanted.”
He looked at me and smiled – a really warm smile – as he said “Would you? Would you really?”
“Sure I would,” I said as I punched him in the arm. “Oh, and by the way – tag, you’re it.”
I ran off, Frank following as we played tag for a while. I had realised that when he was playing a game, the shyness just seemed to melt away from him, and we ran round the farmyard, laughing and joking as we caught and chased round.
“Hey – where are you two?”
We stopped when we heard Charlie, and Frank grabbed my hand again, watching as he came round the corner with the supplies – and Frank’s brother Eric behind him.
“Hey,” he said as we came over, “I hope you don’t mind, but Charlie said you were going to head towards his place, so I thought I might come along and keep an eye out for you.
“And Lisa Williamson as well, I bet,” Frank said with a giggle.
“Well, if she was there, then well and good,” Eric said with a smile.
“Frank, would you like to be the one to tie up Louise?”
I smiled as Frank looked at me and said “do you mind?”
“Of course not – do your worst.”

Frank is so shy!!!!

### Re: An Education: Softly Softly

Thanks, and what a great start!
Frank is really shy, but it seemed his shyness goes away when he plays. Good—which means that they just have to keep playing. I hope his shyness disappears too with tie up games—that way, he could act not shyly when playing with the other girls.
I do wonder what Fiona and Patty will say when they learned that she played with the very shy Frank. I’m sure they’d want to play with him as well. And Rachel too. Especially if Charlie is playing with them also.
So the Williamson family are going to America the next day, and her father is going to America too! This are getting interesting!
It’s really lucky Louise stopped in front of the house that day. If she did it the next day, Charlie won’t be there and Frank would still be hiding from her!
Really, the emerging friendship between Louise and Frank is just beautiful!!!
And Charlie was the catalyst! And that shortcut is a godsend!
Let’s see how good Frank is with knots!!

So both newcomers Fiona and Louise got a story to narrate already! And to think that they just arrived four stories ago…
What can I say? Louise reminds me of Cassie when she was 10! So innocent, and adorable! And Frank! He has perhaps the most unique personality there is among the boys. So shy, extremely shy, but not when playing! So Louise has an avenue by which to make him more open to her, and to the others. And it seems as if Charlie did all the work on making him like tie up games! The question is, is Frank good at tying up? But Charlie is there to assist him, and Eric too, he won’t have to worry much.
And just in time too! With Charlie leaving the next day, Louise could provide a substitute for Charlie as Frank’s friend, but only if they hit it off this day, which I’m confident they’ll do.
We’ll see, I hope, how the friendship develops Louise and Frank. It can’t be anything more than that since they’re just 10, but perhaps something like Charlie and Rachel?
Well done on the start of this story, KP! And I hope you update soon!!

“All right, we’re going to do this properly,” Charlie said as he handed me two sponges. “Take the roll of duct tape and cover Louise’s fists first.”
I watched as Frank very carefully wrapped my fists in the silver tape, his tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth as he did so, until I had two silver gloves. He then pulled a pair of white socks up over them and my arms, before taping the top of the sock to my forearm.
I then put my hands behind my back as Frank started to wrap the rope around them.
“No,” Charlie said, “double the rope over, and then pull the ends through the centre loop to do the first pass.”
I looked over my shoulder and watched as Frank took the rope off and followed Charlie’s instructions, Eric watching as well as he tied my wrist really tightly together, and then wrapped the rope around my waist.
“That’s good,” I said with a smile as I looked at him, “I’m not going to move my wrists any time soon.”
“All right Frank,” Charlie said, “You need to tie her arms to her body around her stomach. Take the long piece of rope, double it over and use that first around her body.”
I stood there, as calm and still as possible as Frank pulled my arms to my side, but inside my heart was beating like crazy. Charlie walked him through how to tie the rope, separate the ends and wrap them between my body and arms, and then tie it off so my arms were locked in place.
“Wow,” Frank said quietly as I wriggled my arms around, “how does it feel?”
“Nice, safe,” I said as I looked at him. “Thanks – you’re really good at this.”
“Now we need to keep her quiet,” Charlie said as he folded a cloth. “Open wide Louise.”
“Talk to you later, Frank,” I said with a smile before I opened my mouth, and Frank put the cloth between my teeth.
“Frank, you can push it al the way in, so long as you’re careful not to push it too far,” Charlie said, so Frank gently pushed the cloth in, smiling before he took a knotted strip of cloth and tied that round my head, the knot sitting between my teeth.
“Give me a minute,” Charlie said as she adjusted the scarf on my hair, so that it covered the back of my neck and kept my hair at the sides under cover. “We need to do this Frank, or when you use the tape round her head it might hurt.”
“I don’t want to hurt you,” Frank said quietly as he looked t me, so I nodded and said “Eknnwwudnt.”
Charlie had Frank peel the end of the roll of tape free and stuck it to my cheek, before her wound it round my head three times, covering my mouth and making sure I could only make little quiet mumbles.
“There now,” Charlie said as he looked at me, “our prisoner’s ready to go for her little walk.”
I nodded and smiled under the tape as Frank took my arm, and we set off, crossing the yard as Eric went in advance, making sure nobody else was coming.
“Shwddutwmtt?” I mumbled as we set off across the field.
“By accident,” Charlie said, somehow understanding what I was saying. “We literally bumped into each other in the woods a few weeks ago.”
“He’s right,” Frank said quietly, “I was exploring the woods after we moved here, and I loved walking round in them. Then I met Charlie.”
“I’d seen the path from our house a few times, and often wondered where it went,” Charlie said as I looked at him, “so one day I walked down it, and met Frank. We hit it off – once I persuaded him to talk…”
Frank laughed at that, a really nice laugh.
“Yeah – well once we got talking, we found we got on well, and I took him to the farm a few days later. We’ve played most days since then – oh look.”
We stopped and watched as three or four rabbits hopped across the path, heading into the trees.
“There’s a large rabbit warren just beyond those trees,” Frank whispered into my ear. “I’ll take you to see them one day if you want.”
I nodded to show I liked that idea, as we made our way through the trees, only to stop when Eric held his hand up. Before we could get out of the way, Brian Hampton appeared, looking at us and saying “Hey – what are you lot up to?”
“Hey Brian,” Eric said as he looked at us,” just walking. Where were you going?”
“To see you actually,” Brian said as he looked at me, “but I see you were occupied. What’s going on?”
“We’re taking Louise round to Charlie’s house,” Frank said, “want to come with us?”
“Why not,” he said as he walked in front with Eric, me enjoying the attention as Charlie and Frank kept talking to me.
Eventually, we got to where the path went onto the street, and we stopped.
“I guess we need to untie you now,” Frank said as he looked at me, and he almost looked sorry that he had to do it.
“Not necessarily,” Charlie said, “can you guys keep out of sight for a few minutes?”
“Yeah – but what are you thinking of,” Brian asked.
“You’ll see – wait here,” Charlie said as he suddenly ran off.
“Any idea what he’s doing,” Eric said as he looked at Brian. He just shook his head as I sat on a tree trunk with Frank.
They started talking to each other as Frank looked at me and said “Enjoying it so far?”
“Hmmm” I said as I nodded. I was really enjoying it, but I didn’t want to embarrass him.
“I like Holderness,” Frank said, “it’s a lot quieter than the city where we used to live. There was always traffic there, and people shouting at each other. It’s a lot friendlier here – honestly.”
He had heard my giggle at him saying how friendly it was.
“Seriously – I was much worse then. Everything seemed to scare me – and I didn’t make many friends. It’s been easier since I moved here – but it still takes me a long time to make friends.
“I’m glad you’re my friend though,” he said as he looked at me and smiled.
I nodded and smiled in return as he said “Hey. What’s yellow and dangerous?”
“Edntknwhtsyllwnddnjrs?”
“Shark infected custard.”
I giggled at that, Frank smiling as he said “What’s green and red and moves fast?”
“Edntknw,” I said as I looked at him.
“Kermit in a liquidiser.”
This went on for fifteen minutes, Frank telling really silly jokes and me laughing at them, until Charlie reappeared, panting and holding up a plastic bag.
“Here,” he panted, “I think this will help.” He opened the bag and took out a grey poncho, which he put over my body, covering my arms and the ropes as the points hung down in front of and behind me.
“Wow – it does really cover them,” Frank said, “but won’t we need to ungag her now as well?”
“Nope – thought of that,” Charlie said as he pulled out a beret that had some sort of netting hanging down from it.
“What is that,” Frank said as he looked at it.
“It’s Lisa’s – she got it for some reason, so I’ve borrowed it. Watch,” Charlie said as he put the beret on my head, and then gently pulled the netting down over my head. It was like a black mist over my eyes, but then he took out a mirror and said “Have a look.”
When I looked in the mirror, it was as if my face was totally black – I couldn’t see anything, especially the tape.
“Wow,” Frank said as I looked at him, “that’s amazing.”
I shook my head – I really wasn’t too happy about it – but Frank put his hand on my arm and said “Honestly – it’ll be fine. Nobody will know it’s you, and we’re with you every step of the way. Do it for me – please? It really will be fun.”
“Hllrrt,” I said as I nodded, and we walked down the street. It was a really weird feeling, as we passed some people.
“Hey Charlie,” one boy called out, “what are you doing with Rachel now?”
“A game of blind man’s bluff,” Charlie shouted back, “nearly over.”
“Enjoy your holiday,” the boy said as we walked on – and saw Connie Brown coming out of Cassie’s house.
“Hi boys – Patty causing trouble again?”
“No, we’re good,” Charlie called back as we walked up to his front door, and into his house, all the boys bursting out laughing as he closed the door. “Oh boy,” he eventually said, “they thought you were Rachel or Patty – that’s so precious…”
“What are you laughing at,” Lisa said as she came down the stairs, wearing jeans and a jumper, “and who have you put my good hat on. If that is Patty I’m going to… Louise? Did Eric or Charlie do this to you?”
I shook my head and looked at Frank, who blushed and nodded.
“Well, at least you covered her hair,” Lisa said as Charlie took off the poncho, and handed both of them back to Lisa. “Sorry – we needed to cover her up for the last part of the walk,” he said as I nodded in agreement.
“Well now – hello Louise,” Mrs Williamson said as she came out, “I see the boys have you well secured.”
“Ystthd,” I said as I nudged Frank, who smiled and nodded.
“I thought you were going over to Cassie’s” she then said as she looked at Lisa.
“Well, I was, but if the boys are here with Louise…”
“Told you,” Frank whispered into my ear, and I giggled.
“Do you want to be released Louise?”
I shook my head as she said “All right – all of you in the front room. I need to get clothes into cases upstairs.”
We all went in, Lisa and I sitting down as the boys looked at us.
“All right Frank,” Charlie said as he handed him two lengths of rope, “now we’re here, you can finish the job and secure Louise’s legs.”
“In front of…”
“Don’t worry Frank, I won’t say a word,” Lisa said, so Frank knelt down and put my ankles together, and tied them as he had my wrists. As his fingers stroked my legs, I felt a little thrill, and smiled under the tape as he snugly tied my ankles, and then my legs below the knees.
“First time you’ve done that Frank,” Lisa said as he passed the rope between my legs. As he stood up, he blushed and nodded, then smiled as Lisa said “Not bad – almost as good as my trouble making brother over here.”
“Oh really,” Charlie said as he produced a water pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Lisa, “maybe you should join her.”
“Oh really,” Lisa said as she stood, her arms raised, “you and whose army?”
“That would be me,” Eric said with a smile, and Lisa smiled as she said “all right – seeing it’s you.”
“I think she likes my brother,” Frank whispered as he sat next to me, watching as Charlie fetched a box of supplies and Eric started to over his sister’s hands.
“Udntsss,” I giggled as we watched Eric secure Lisa, her wrists first, then her arms to her side, and then sitting her down next to me as he secured her legs.
“You won’t get away with this you know,” Lisa said with a smile as Eric tied her legs together.
“Oh – and why not,” Charlie said.
“Because Suzie is across the road with Cassie, and they’ll wonder where I got to.”
“Really,” Charlie said with an evil grin, “well then, you’d better get Cassie over here – or else!”

Thanks for this second update, KP!
And so now, Charlie’s plans are afoot! What is he up to? He already brought Louise to his house, and not to Patty’s house (not that Louise would mind seeing as it was a golden opportunity to befriend Frank), and then, his sister! Who’s next after Cassie? Suzie Holderness, I think!
It’s time for the younger generation (the ten year olds) to have fun!!!
And that was ingenious of Charlie to think of the veil and the poncho. I reckon that since Louise lives in the other part of town, and Patty and Rachel were seen frequently with Charlie and Brian Hampton when he is there, people would assume that Louise is Patty or Rachel!
Frank is getting some tying skills from Charlie! Louise didn’t probably expect to be tied up by Frank on the first day she got to talk to him. It was something she would always remember!

Fine story so far, but some quibbles with this part. "Charlie said as I looked at him" Should be Frank, not Charlie. The "greed" in Frank's second joke
should be green. Also "then her arms to her said" should be side. Connie Craig should actually be Connie Brown. Lastly "but Frank put his hand on my ark" should be arm. I'm enjoying this tale very much!!

Seems to me that Frank is developing into a tie up crazy boy! Which is good news for Louise at least!
I’d gather the city that Frank was living was London because of Andrew working at the London office before his grandfather died. And let me tell you, sometimes I share his dislike of the big city! I can imagine that that environment exacerbated his shyness! Compared to busy London, the small town of Holderness seemed a godsend to him, and I guess he took a liking to the forest because he can’t do that in London, and because he’s less likely to meet new people, and that it’s something new!
I wonder how long Louise’s dress is? Knee length I would assume, but I hope we can get a confirmation.
Charlie and Louise have done a really good job to get Frank to open up!
And now, he’s participating in a very entertaining tie up game!

“Ufdnndddd” I mumbled through the tape as Lisa wriggled, before saying “You’ll never get me to invite my friend to walk into a trap!”
“Oh I think you will,” Charlie said, “or your friend here gets – The Torture!”
I looked at Lisa and shook my head, before she said “no – all right, I’ll call her.”
Charlie went and fetched the phone, dialling the number and putting it to Lisa’s head.
“Cassie? It’s Lisa – can you come over for a few minutes? There’s something I need to tell you before I go on holiday?
“No it will only be for a minute – tell Suzie you’ll be right back.
“Thanks – bye.” Lisa then looked at Eric, and said “Now what?”
The answer was silence – or near silence, as he gagged her with a cloth, a knotted strip of towel, and white tape wrapped around her head. As he did this, Charlie was standing at the window, watching across the road, and then going to the front door as someone knocked on it.
“Hey Charlie,” we heard Cassie say, “where’s Lisa?”
“In the living room – come on through,” Charlie said, and sure enough Cassie appeared at the door, wearing a pair of blue floral bib shorts over a green t-shirt, white socks and trainers.
“Oh boy,” she said as she looked at me and Lisa, “it’s a trap, isn’t it?”
“However did you guess,” Charlie said from behind her as Brian pointed a water pistol towards her.
“Oh no, whatever shall I do,” Cassie said as she put her hands up – and then we watched as Charlie and Brian tied her up in the same way as us.
She looked at Frank and Eric and said “Hey – good to see you both,” as she sat next to Lisa and her legs were secured.
“Nice to see you as well, Cassie,” Eric said, Frank blushing as Charlie picked up the phone again.
“You’d better ask Suzie over here now,” he said to Cassie, “just in case she decides to come snooping.”
Rolling her eyes, Cassie nodded as Charlie dialled the number again.
“Hey sis – can you get Suzie to come over to Lisa’s house for a minute please? She needs to say this as well.
“Yeah – I know, but get her to come over anyway. Thanks.”
“No, thank you,” Brian said as he pressed a single strip of tape over Cassie’s mouth. She looked at us and shrugged as we waited for the inevitable.
Which took five minutes, as Suzie was let in by Charlie, then stopped at the door as she looked at all three of us. She was wearing a white short sleeved dress, the skirt coming to just below her knees while mine came to just above.
“Oh great – why didn’t I see this one coming,” she said as she looked round – and then saw Brian standing there, sponges in his hand and a smile on his face.
“Well, if you insist…”
“Oh I do I do,” Brian said as we watched him binding Suzie, and then gagging her in the same way as me and Lisa as she sat on the floor.
“Bnhrrlng,” she mumbled as she looked at us, and then at Frank and Eric.
“Ntlnggnn” I said as Charlie peeled the tape away from Cassie’s mouth.
“Now then, who shall we invite next,” Charlie said as Brian whispered something into Cassie’s ear.
“Yeah we’ll do that,” she said as she whispered to Charlie. He then dialled a number, and put the phone to Cassie’s head.
“Hey – can you come round to Lisa’s place please. Her mum has something that you need to take to mum and dad, and it’s too big for me.
“Okay Thanks,” she said as Charlie took the phone away and Brian smoothed a fresh strip of tape over her mouth.
I could see Frank was enjoying this as he talked to Eric, and we waited to see who was coming next.
As we waited, I wondered who she had called – probably Patty, maybe Rachel? No, it had to be Patty – who else could she have… Another name came to mind, and I shook my head – surely she would not…
There was a knock on the door, and Charlie disappeared from a moment, only to come back in with Jenny, Cassie’s older sister. She had on a grey t-shirt and chinos, and one look at the four of us told her all she needed to know.
“Great – who was first,” she said as she looked at Charlie, holding her hands out as Brian gave her two sponges to hold. Ten minutes later, she too was tightly bound and gagged, looking at Cassie with one eyebrow raised as the strip was taken from her mouth.
“One more call,” Charlie said, and Cassie nodded as she invited Patty to come over. Once that was done, she too had the full gag added, as the five of us tried to talk to each other.
After a quarter of an hour had passed, during which Eric and Frank had sat and watched, there was a knock on the door and Charlie went out, returning with Patty. She was wearing a blue denim smock, blue leggings with white polka dots, and baseball boots, but one look at us and – she burst out laughing.
“Oh my,” she finally said, “they got all of you good didn’t they? Hey Frank – is this…”
“Less talk, more rope,” Charlie said as he handed Patty the sponges, and we all watched her being secured in the same way as us. As she sat down, and her legs were tied, Charlie picked up the phone again.
“We need to invite one more person,” he said, “and you get the honours.”
“Iwndrhhthtsss” Cassie said as she looked at us, and we all started laughing again.
“Hey Rach,” Patty said as she winked at us, “You busy at the moment?
“OH no, no, no – it’s just I’m at Lisa and Charlie’s place, and we were…
“Fifteen minutes? See you then,” she said as Charlie ended the call, and she stuck her tongue out at him.
“She’s onhhwwww,” she said as Charlie started to gag her.
“Yeah, but you had to mention my name, didn’t you,” Charlie said as he wrapped the tape tightly round her mouth, and then he started to tickle her – which was the cue for the other boys to start to tickle us!
What was worse, Frank started on me almost immediately, laughing and joking with the others as his fingers tickled the back of my knees!!!
This seemed to go on forever, before there was a knock on the door. We heard Mrs Williamson answer it, and then Rachel came in, her hair in pigtails and wearing a pink sweatshirt and knee length leggings.
“OH boy,” Mrs Williamson said as she looked at us. “I’ll call your mothers and tell them you will be having lunch here – Louise, were you at the farm?”
I nodded as she said “All right – I‘ll call your dad as well.”
“Now then,” Charlie said as he put his hand on Rachel’s shoulder, “time for you to join them…”
An hour later, all of us were watching a film on the television when Mrs Williamson looked in.
“All right boys – you need to release them now so that we can have lunch.”
“All right mum,” Charlie said as they started to untie us, Frank very carefully removing all the ropes that held me in place. Once he had done that, he borrowed a pair of scissors from Charlie and cut the silver tape from my head, allowing me to peel it off and remove the rest of the gag.
“Thanks,” I eventually said.
“You’re very welcome,” Frank replied very quietly, holding the tape and cloth in his hand.
“Louise, is there something you want to tell us?”
I was dimly aware of Patty and Rachel behind me, but I just smiled as we made our way through to the dining room.
“Dig in,” Mrs Williamson said as we saw the massive plates of sandwiches – and we descended on them like a horde of dogs.
“Before I forget,” Charlie said, “girls, meet Frank and Eric Cottrell. Eric, you know most of them, but this is Cassie’s sister Jenny, and Patty’s friend Rachel.”
“Pleased to meet you both,” Eric said, “and this is my little brother Frank.”
Frank waved and smiled a little as Jenny looked at them.
“Cottrell? You don’t have a big brother called Mark, do you?”
“Yeah – oh don’t tell me, you know Mary Holmes, right?”
“Small world,” Charlie said with a smile.
“So when do you head off, Mrs Williamson,” Patty said as she sat and ate.
“Tomorrow, Patty – we’re getting a taxi to the airport, and we fly to Boston at about four o’clock. We’ll be staying there for a few days, and then heading up to Martha’s Harbour to stay with some friends up there. We’ll be back in two weeks time.”
“Is it true Alicia and Dad are on the same flight,” Suzie said.
“they are indeed – they’re going over to take part in the christening of Sarah and Brian’s babies, and they’re staying in Boston with us before going up there. Should be quite an event.”
“You’ll like it there,” Cassie said, “Jenny, Suzie and I went there a couple of years ago.”
“We’re looking forward to it,” Lisa said. “Only drawback is we get back just in time to start to get ready for school again.”
“All right, all right,” Jenny said, “you have to do this, you know. Anyway Charlie – thanks for giving us the chance to say bye to you before you go.”
“Hey – thank you all for coming,” Charlie said with a smile, as we continued to eat and talk.
Eventually, however, Eric looked at his watch and said “Thanks for the food Mrs Williamson, but Eric and I need to get back to the farmhouse. Louise, want to walk back with us?”
“I had better go,” I said, “so yeah, I’ll walk back with you.”
So we said out goodbyes, and set off, Frank carrying a bag that Charlie had stuck the ropes and tape they had used on me inside.
We turned off the road and went into the trees, but we hadn’t one more than a couple of steps before Frank stopped and looked at me.
“Louise, can I tie you up again, and then you can walk back to the house the way you came?”
He blushed and looked down as she said this, but when I said “You can tie me up any time you want to Frank,” he looked up and gave me the biggest smile. Eric shook his head as he held the bag open, and Frank used the ropes to bind my wrists and then my arms. He didn’t cover my hands this time, but by the time he had finished no matter how hard I tired, I could not find the knots.
“open wide,” he said, and I smiled over the knotted cloth that he tied between my lips to keep the hankie inside, and then the silver tape as he wrapped it round my head, making sure my hair was covered.
So we walked back from there, me enjoying the afternoon sun through the trees as we approached the farmhouse.
“Do you want to play some more,” Frank said as we walked across the yard. I looked at Eric who nodded and said “Why no… Ah, but we have the chores to do Frank.”
“Oh yeah – Louise, if we leave you in the front room, and put the telly on, do you mind watching that until we are ready?”
I shook my head as we walked in, and I sat on the couch, giggling slightly at the touch of Frank’s fingers as he tied my ankles and legs. It felt so nice – so nice I decided I would wear skirts or dresses every time I came to see him.
“There now,” Frank said as he put Nickelodeon on, “We’ll be as quick as we can.” I nodded as he smiled, and then left me to watch the programs. I actually felt so much at home I lay on the couch, my head on the armrest, and watched as I wriggled to get comfy.
So comfy I was taken completely by surprise as someone said “Oh my – Louise?”
