Once he removed his hand, I said “Your letter? Where on earth were you hiding, Charlie?”
“Trade secret,” he said as he pulled my hands behind my back, and started to tie them tightly together with some rope. I could feel it going around my wrists and between my arms, before he said “Now, let’s go and make Lisa comfortable in her room.”
“Hrwwggng,” Lisa mumbled as we walked back into her room, and Charlie helped us both to sit on the bed as the film continued.
“I actually quite like this one,” he said as Rapunzel’s ‘mother’ held her hostage, “Nice story line.” As he was saying this, he had pulled some more rope out from under Lisa’s bed, and was tying her arms to her body, with rope around her forearms and stomach, and then around her shoulders.
“so what are your dastardly plans, you villain you,” I said as Charlie took even more rope, and tied my wrists to my waist, my arms to my tummy, and my upper arms in tight, making sure the rope was cinched so that I could not move except to wriggle round.
“Oh I have plans for you, my dear,” Charlie said with a smile, and yeah – I melted a little as he said that, even though he was crossing and tying Lisa’s ankles together as he said it.
“Shuffle down, sis,” he then said, and as Lisa moved down the bed he propped her head up with her pillows, so that she could see the television. He then tied her ankles to the foot of the bed, before he tied her legs together below her knees.
The film had finished by this point, so Charlie ejected the disc, putting it back into the box before he selected another one. “I’m going to take Rachel next door,” he said as Lisa looked at him, “but I don’t want you to feel left out of things.”
She looked at him as I stood up, and saw from her bedroom window Patty and Tommy Jacobs walking down the path to Patty’s car. She had a large brown poncho on, covering her as she climbed into the car and Tommy fastened her seat belt.
The opening strains of High School Musical and the sound of Lisa saying “Nnnnn” through her taped mouth made me turn round. “Bobbi can come too,” Charlie said as he picked her up, and then taking my arm he escorted me to his bedroom.
“Seems I’ve kidnapped mother and daughter,” he said as I sat on his bed, and watched him tying Bobbi up with twine, her arms bent behind her back, and then her legs and arms held in place. Taking a roll of white tape, he snipped a small piece off and then placed it over her lips, laying her on the bed before he said “Do anything and it’s Bobbi who gets hurt, understand?”
“I understand – please don’t hurt us,” I said as I got into character, smiling anyway as he knelt down and started to tie my ankles together. “What do you want anyway?”
“Oh I want all your jewellery and money,” Charlie said as he wound the rope around and between my legs, “and you’re going to tell me where it is.”
“Why should I, you evil man,” I said as he then tied my legs together below my knees – but I couldn’t stop myself giggling as he put the rope between my legs, and got my ticklish spot at the back of my knees.
“OH really,” he said as he tied the rope off, ”so you won’t tell me? Then I guess I’ll have to force you to – where do you keep your jewellery?”
“I won’t tell youaahahhhhhhaaaaaa,” I laughed out as he held my legs in one arm and started to tickle the back of my knees with the other. In fact, I laughed and squirmed so much my glasses fell off, so he had to stop and pick them up, putting them safely out of the way.
And then he started again. This time I fell onto my side on his bed, laughing out loud and unable to stop him as he moved on to the only place I’m more ticklish than the backs of my knees.
The soles of my feet.
“NNOOOOPLEWAASSEEEEDONTTTDODOTHATTTILLLTELLLYOUUUUUUANYTHING!!!!!!”
That didn’t stop Charlie however, as he kept tickling me and I started to roll around on the bed. It was pure, sweet, wonderful torture as I laughed out loud.
“Ready to tell me now,” he said as he stopped and looked at me, waiting until I caught my breath, “or shall I do the same to Bobbi?”
“No…. No, I’ll tell you where my jewellery is,” I panted out, my cheeks red and flushed. “In the wardrobe, bottom shelf, behind my tops.”
“Thank you,” he said as he stroked my hair back, “Very kind of you to tell me. Now, Calm yourself down, and get your breath back while I have a look.”
I lay back, looking up at the ceiling as he looked in his own wardrobe, slowly getting my breath back before I looked at Bobbi lying beside me. “Are you all right,” I whispered, imagining my daughter turning her head and nodding to me.
“Well, that seems to be everything,” Charlie said as he walked back to me, “but I need to make sure you can’t raise the alarm until I get away.” I saw he had a folded hankie in his hand, so I said “Please, don’t gag me. I promise I won’t scream.”
“I can’t take that risk – you could ungag your daughter. So please, open wide.”
I allowed him to push the clean cloth into my mouth, secretly thrilled as I closed my lips over it, and then he pressed a length of that lovely white tape over my mouth, which meant there was no way I could say more than “Whttnw?”
“Now I make my getaway – but it would be churlish of me to leave without a small gift.”
“Wht?”
He reached under the bed, and placed a small red envelope on the bedside table, with a small bag of chocolates in front of it. “Something for Valentine’s Day,” he said before he kissed me on the forehead, and left me alone.
Nobody – nobody apart from Mum and Dad – had ever kissed me on the forehead like that. I could feel myself getting redder and redder as I thought about it – I had just been kissed by a boy?
What on earth would Patty say if I told her?
Was I even going to tell her?
He kissed me! He must really like me!
I wriggled round on the bed, trying to find any way of untying myself, but he was too damned good at it, and I realised I was actually enjoying it as much as usual – maybe even a little more.
He kissed me!!!
After a little while, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, and Charlie’s mum came in, carrying some clean washing.
“Your mum will come and pick you up later,” she said as she put the clothes away, “and I’ll send Charlie up in a few minutes to untie both of you, so that you can have a drink.” Turning round, she looked at the card and the little bag of chocolates, before saying “So that’s why he wanted to go into town on his own last week.”
She then left the room, and as promised Charlie appeared a few minutes later, and started to untie my arms as I sat up. As soon as I could, however, I wrapped my arms round him and gave him a great big hug, pressing my tape covered mouth to his cheek.
“Yu…. Why did you do that?”
I looked at the card, and then at him, laughing as he blushed and said “Yeah – I can see why. Can you untie your legs while I go and see to Lisa?”
I nodded, but first opened the card, blushing again as I looked at it…
Suzie
“Bobby! Where are you?”
One of the joys of having a day off school, at the start of the half term week, was that I could have a little lie in, so it was about half nine when I finally appeared in the kitchen. Mum was sitting with Mrs Boyle, looking over the shopping list for the week.
“Good morning sleepyhead,” Mum said as she stood up. “Want some cereal?”
I nodded as I sat down. I wasn’t planning on going anywhere today, so I had put on a pair of denim short dungarees over a Minnie Mouse t-shirt and leggings, a pair of slippers covering my bare feet.
“Somebody shout for me,” Bobby said as he came in. He had a black zipped jacket on over a t-shirt and jeans, with his trainers on his feet.
“Colin just called – he said he’d be here in half an hour,” Mum said as she handed me a bowl of Sugar Puffs.
“Great – we’re going into town to sort some things out for later.”
“Oh yeah,” I said after I had swallowed a mouthful of cereal, “Going to get something special for Cassie, are we?”
“None of your beeswax, little sis,” Bobby said with a smile. “When does Dad get back tonight anyway?”
“About seven,” Mum said as she sat back down. “It’s a pity Alicia and Jenny had to go to school today – I think theirs is about the only school open today.”
“Well, they get the day off after half term, don’t they,” Bobby said as he bit into a slice of toast. “So it’s all fair in the end.”
“Where’s Tommy?”
“He’s upstairs getting changed,” Bobby said as he looked at me. Our cousin Tommy had come down for the half term break. “Don’t worry – he’s coming with me and Colin, so any plans you have for today will not be interrupted by boy talk.”
“Oh, before I forget,” Mrs Boyle said as she got up and walked to the work surface at the kitchen window, “There’s a letter for you, Bobby.” She handed big brother a large white envelope, which Bobby looked at before opening it.
“Something wrong,” I said as I watched Bobby turn bright red as he looked in the envelope.
“No, no, nothing wrong, nothing at all,” he said hurriedly as he closed the envelope, and then went out of the room, taking it with him. Mum and Mrs Boyle looked at the door, and then at me.
“Don’t look at me,” I said innocently, “how would I know if someone was planning to send someone else a card today, and even if I did know, how would I be expected to warn him?”
“You’ve been spending time with Alicia again,” Mum said as she stood up. “Right – I have to go and meet Anne in town later. Can you ask Mr Boyle to run me to the station please?”
“I think he’s doing something in the garden – let me go and find him,” Mrs Boyle said as she stood up and went to the back door, Mum giving me a kiss as she went in the opposite direction.
I finished my cereal, put the bowl in the dishwasher, and poured myself a glass of milk, before going into the front room and putting the television on. My plan for the morning was simple – veg out watching cartoons, and then try and tackle my homework in the afternoon.
I heard the front doorbell ring, and then Mrs Boyle saying “Hello boys – come away in,” before I looked to the door to see Colin come in, with his cousin Brian.
“Hey,” I said as they came in, “I didn’t know you were around as well Brian?”
“Just for the weekend – my folks are going away,” he said as he stood in the doorway, looking at me. He’d managed to grow a bit since I had seen him last, and he actually looked quite nice in the v-necked jumper over a shirt, and a pair of blue chinos.
“There you are,” Bobby said as he came into the room, Tommy walking behind him. “We need to get going – Tommy and I need to pop into Cassie’s first, what are you going to do?”
“I already have things sorted out for Jenny, but I need to go straight into town and pick something up. Want to meet outside McDonald’s at about 2?”
“Sounds good to me,” Bobby said as he pulled his coat on. “Enjoy the morning, Suz.”
“Go, I’ll be fine,” I said as I looked back at the television, and heard the front door close.
“Hi.”
I turned suddenly to see that Brian was still standing there, looking at me.
“You’re not going with them,” I said as Mrs Boyle came in.
“I need to do the cleaning,” she said as she looked at us, “so you two need to be somewhere else. Why don’t you go outside for a while?”
