This is a true story from a long time ago. At the time I must have been around 10, and Steve 2 years younger. I can't remember all the events and certainly not the dialogue but here goes for a best effort.
Mum worked hard after dad left to look after the 2 of us and she was going back to part time work. we spent a lot of time with friends after school, sometimes with paid for child sitters and sometimes with family. Joanne was Mum's younger sister and was a school teacher so had the same long summer holidays we had. She wasn't married and lived in her own house. It wasn't fair to have her look after us all summer but sometimes she'd come over for a week and other times we'd go and stay for a week. This is the story of one of those weeks.
Joanne (or Jo to mum or Aunt Jo to us) has a 2 bedroomed house with a small garden , probably quite large by today's standard. Steve and I had to share a room but we didn't have our own rooms at home until I was 11 and at secondary school so that was not unusual. We arrived on Sunday afternoon and Mum and Aunt Jo chatted whilst we played outside. We went for a walk and got some ice creams before having tea and waving goodbye to mum. That Was quite a normal night and we watched TV before going to bed.
The week was a very hot on for the most part and we played outside lots but were taken to local parks and a trip to the cinema as well as watching children's TV back then before disney channel and CBBC it was one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening only. Well it was one of these days, I can't remember which one but not Friday, that we were playing outside when the idea of a tie up started. i cant remember exactly whta we were wearing. Steve Was in shorts and t-shirt most likely and me in a short skirt and t-shirt or maybe shorts and t-shirt. i do remember distincly what Aunt Jo was wearing. A bright Red Vest top and black football shorts. It seemed something so unusual for an aunt to wear but as I said it was a hot week. All 3 of us were alos walking barefooted in and ouside the house, the warm paving stones contrasting with cooler grass under our feet.
Well it started with one of the programmes on in the morning. A boy had been kidnapped and tied up and gagged for a scene or 2 and we decided we wanted to act it out again. Steve went to find somewhere in the garden to hide while I went in to get some tying up kit and came back with some long socks, a belt and a sort of scarf. Aunty Jo had a very small garden so it wasn't difficult to find him and when I "Caught" him he only put up a small struggle. I used the scarf to tie his hands behind his back and then knotted one of the socks and tied that in his mouth as a gag. i was meaning to blindfold him with the other sock and tied his ankles with the belt when he suddenly decided to jump up and run away. He ran over the grass and into the kitchen past aunt Jo who was standing at the sink. I ran after him with the last bits of tie up materials when aunt Jo stepped infornt of me.
"What are you two up to?" she asked almost shouting in a teacher type voice.
"I er, um er, er um, er"
"What are you 2 up to? Steven come here."
Steve cam in his hands tied behind his back and gagged looking rather like me. A naughty boy and girl caught doing something wrong.
"Did you do this Susan?" nothing "Did you?"
"Yes aunty Jo."
"Did you et her Steven?" nothing "STEVEN?"
"MMpphh " and he nodded.
"Are you enjoying being tied up Steven?"
"mmpph" nods
"Are you sure?"
"mmpphh" nods
At last Aunt Jo smiled "Well Sue here didn't do a good job did she. You ran away. Look lets sit down in here"
She took us all into the lounge and sat cross legged on the floor with us. Next she took Steve's gag out. and asked us about our tie up games. After she found out that we often tied each other up and that our mum knew about it and sometimes helped us she gave a little laugh and said "Well sue needs to be tied up for doing such a bad job."
She told me to finish tying Steve up but not to gag him while she until she came back. She went upstairs and about a minute later came back with more scarves and ends of cloth. Steve was bound, hands behind his back and ankles together with the scarf and belt respectively.
"OK Sue. hands behind you"
I put my hands behind me and felt as they were pulled together and tied crossed, the material from the scarf going up and down, side to side and finally round the tied hands, the knot tied well out of reach. She then tied my ankles together with my legs straight out infornt of me like Steve.
"are you both comfy?
"Yes aunty JO"
"And having fun?"
"Yes aunty JO."
she asked us if we ever teased or tortured each other when tied up and we said yes we would tickle each other.
"like this ?" she said as she tickled our bare feet with her fingers. We both fell about the floor wriggling and giggling trying to get away from her fingers but she didn't give up. she kept tickling for a couple of minutes.
We carried on giggling for a minute or so once the tickling stopped.
"Right" said Aunt Jo. If I am going ot have some peace and quiet to get some work done you 2 need to be gagged don't you."
She started with me, first balling up a sock and pushing it into my mouth then tying a scarf over it pulling between my teeth, It was the first time we had tired a 2 piece gag like this. she then gagged Steve the same way and went out into the kitchen to carry on with what she was doing. steve and i immediately started to struggle to get ourselves free from the ties.
