Chapter 3

My doctor came in later. He told me that I should kick back and relax.

“You’re going to be here for a while, son.” “At least until your insurance runs out.”

“What do the tests say so far, doc?”

“To be honest with you, we can’t find anything. We have a specialist coming in tomorrow. If he can’t find it, it isn’t there.” “I just hope he doesn’t suck up too much of the insurance money.”

“Hey, doc. If my dad didn’t have insurance, would I still be getting all of this great care?”

He just looked at me, then turned and left.

Mom and Dad showed up that night, but Em wasn’t with them. I asked about her, but Mom just said that she had other things to do. The funny thing was, I couldn’t read their thoughts either. As much as I tried, I just couldn’t.

Nancy doesn’t work weekends, so it was Monday before I saw her again. She came bouncing into my room, ten minutes before the nurse.

“I have just had the most incredible weekend of my life,” she said. “I took your advice, and Glen wants to meet you.”

“He doesn’t know...?”

“No, and I don’t want him to. Promise you won’t say anything.”

“I’ve already given you my promise.”

“Uh ... would it be okay if I come by later tonight and “tell” you how it went?”

“I don’t think that would be a good idea, Nancy. My sister was in here the other night, and was so angry that she hasn’t been back.”

“I’m sorry. Would it help if I talk to her? Maybe we hit a nerve that she didn’t want hit yet.”

“What do you mean?”

“I know how I’ve been about Glen. Any girl that came near him risked getting her eyes scratched out. Do you think she’s in love with you?”

“She sure ... acted as if ... You know. I couldn’t read her thoughts. I can’t read my parents’ thoughts either. I wonder why.”

“Probably because they don’t want you to.”

“But they don’t know. I didn’t get a chance to tell Em the other night. I didn’t tell my parents either.”

“Who knows. All I know is that I am the happiest girl on this planet. I’ll be back for your tray later.” She left ... I should say, she bounced out.

I think she did that on purpose. All she had on her mind was what she and her brother did all weekend. I didn’t know there were so many different positions.

They weren’t done with me. It seems that the doctor is hell-bent on getting his last pound of flesh ... or in my case, gallon of blood. I think I was getting to him about that insurance thing too.

Glen just happened to be the real Glen Dorsey that was the captain and quarterback of our State Champion football team last year. If I had known that, I would have run. As it turned out, though, he was pretty cool. Nancy told him what I had done.

“I want to see it, if you don’t mind,” he said.

“You want me to fondle your sister and have her climax in my lap?”

“Well, yeah. Something like that.”

“OK, but I can’t be held accountable for what happens.”

“That’s cool. I know she has the hots for you, but I also know that I’m the one she loves. Go for it.”

“Yeah. Go for it,” Em said. She had been right outside the door. “I’d like to see just how you manage to turn her on.” She stood against the door jam and folded her arms. “Let’s see what you can do, Adam.”

“It’s not what you think, sis,” I told her.

“Whatever. Let’s see what you can do.”

“OK. I am going to explain what’s happening later. Nancy?”

Nancy flipped her skirt up again as she sat on my pillow. She grabbed my hands and placed them on her thighs again. It hit me then.

“You’re thinking about your first time together. Are you sure you want me to go there?” She nodded. “OK. You got to the campsite and got things set up. You busied yourself with other things because you knew that you and Glen would be sharing his tent. He offered to put it together a couple of times, but you kept telling him that you would do it later.

“You wanted to get him in the water, so you went into his tent to change. That’s when you reinforced all of those dots of your perfume. Nice touch. The expression on Glen’s face when you came out of that tent was enough to get your panties wet. To hide that, you told him to get changed and join you, then you ran and jumped into the water.

“Once he was in the water, he was yours. He wore a boxer-type suit that had a fish above his right leg. You thought that was cute. You knew then that he wasn’t coming out of the water with it on.”

“What is all of this?” Em asked. Glen put his hand up to quiet her.

“You splashed and played for a while, then settled down and talked. You asked him some leading questions, then went in for the kill. You told him then that you were in love with him, and he kissed you for the first time.
