Well, my version of a short story. This is the first chapter of the story. There are two chapters, in total. Please leave a comment, vote or leave some suggestions. ***************** 'How in the fuck did I let Carol's controlling ass trick me into doing this shit?' Rain muttered in her mind. She sat in the driver's seat of her 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS and stared out of the passenger window. The object of her surveillance was a building that was twenty feet away from where Rain had parked her car. 'And don't forget about Carmella's bandwagon ass. She is just as worse' she thought. The sound of buzzing distracted Rain from her thoughts. The noise was coming from her android phone as it vibrated against the vinyl dashboard. She plucked up her Samsung phone and checked the caller I.D. She smirked when she saw her sister's name on the screen. 'Speaking of the devil,' she thought and answered her phone. "Hey Carol!" "Hell— "Don't forget about me too!" her younger sister Carmella chimed in, as well as, interrupting Carol, the oldest sister. Rain rolled her eyes in annoyance. She hated being an involuntary participant in 'three-way' phone calls. "Hey Carmella," greeted Rain, while sounding slightly glum. "Are you there yet?" Carol asked, getting straight to the point with her phone call. "Or are you still lying up in your bed?" "Yeah, are you there yet?" Carmella asked. "What are you, my shadow or something?" Carol said to her baby sister. Sensing that Carmella was about to say something sarcastic, Carol said "Don't answer that question". Rain sensed that her older sister turn the attention back to her. "So, are you at the spa right now?" "Yes Carol, I am at the spa right now" Rain informed both women. "In fact, I am sitting in my car right now— "Your appointment is at 1:30 and its 1:20 right now over there, Rain!" Carol informed her, in a stern tone. Rain recognized that tone of voice; it was Carol's "Mama Bird" voice. It was the voice that she used with her kids, whenever they acted out in public. "You know that if you're late that they will give your appointment to a walk-in and I and Carmella has paid too much money— Rain scoffed, a sign of her irritation, at the mention of the money. "There you go mentioning money, Carol. If it bothers you so much, I can pay you back— "Guys, can you please stop it?" Carmella asked both sisters, while playing the role of mediator. "Carol, stop trying to show off— "I'm not showing off" Carol explained. "I am trying to let her know that if she misses this appointment that it will be a waste of money!" "And if I do miss the damn appointment, I will pay you back your money!" Rain stated to her sister. "No, you are not going to pay us back! Now, if you guys continue arguing, Rain is going to miss her appointment and we cannot— "We weren't arguing," both Carol and Rain said simultaneously. There was a minute of silence between the three sisters. "You should know us by now, Carmella. You have witness this song and dance between Carol and I, for the past nineteen years..." "Yup" Carol chimed in. "...Now if we were arguing, it would've been something like..." Rain said to Carmella before breaking out into a shouting match with Carol which consists of babbling and non-existent words. The 'argument' had lasted for a few seconds before all three sisters broke out in laughter. "Okay, okay, okay, you need to get your ass out of that rust bucket that you call a car and go into that spa and get pampered," Carol instructed to Rain. "Are you sitting in that car because you're afraid or something?" her sister jibed. "NNNOOO!" Rain lied. Her voice came out in a drawl. She lied to her sisters, but with that drawl, her nervousness was shown. Carmella and Carol laughed. "What can you possibly be afraid of at a day spa, Rain?" Carmella chuckled out. "Nothing, I am not afraid of anything! Listen, I am going to get off now! Goodbye!" blurted out Rain. "Don't forget to take pictures of tonight!" Carol instructed in a rushed manner before the call was disconnected. Rain disconnected the phone call. She let out a sigh and then sucked her teeth. 'Well, here goes nothing'. **** A spike of pleasure ran down Rain Hadley's spine, which caused her to gasp. It also caused her toes to curl and her stomach's muscles to clench and then release. "Oooh," she groaned. "You like, Miss Hadley?" a feminine, Spaniard-accented voice inquire while hovering over her prone form. A husky giggle and then a whimper escaped Rain, before she simply stated "Yes, me gusta, ma'am". Both women laughed at Rain's attempt of showing off her bilingual skills. The masseur continued to apply the Swedish massage to Rain's back and shoulders. "Ma'am, pardon me for saying this. You need to relax. I can feel your muscles all tight and bunch up right now," the masseuse informed her." "I know," Rain sighed. "I'm just... Nervous about some things right now," she informed the woman. "Would you like to talk about them? I know that for some people talking about an issue helps them become more relax," the woman stated, as she massaged the back of Rain's left calf. "I..." Then, Rain fell silent. She grew apprehensive about telling this woman about the source of her tension. She didn't want to hear any more words of discouragement and disapproval. Heck, she didn't need to hear any more words of discouragement and disapproval. Everybody that she knew, ranging from her family members to her friends and even from her co-workers stated their negative opinions about this situation. She contemplated whether or not should she explain her nervousness to her masseuse. After a moment of bountiful silence, she decided to inform her. 'Fuck it, this woman is a stranger that I will never see again in my lifetime. Besides, what can she say that I've never heard from my own family?' she mentally reasoned. "I— "Sorry to interrupt you, ma'am, can you please turn onto your back, so I can do your front next?" the woman asked. The day spa employee peeled the two hand towels that covered Rain's must vulnerable parts off, so she could turn onto her back. "Ok," she murmured. Rain positioned herself onto her back and lied on the massage table. With the professionalism that was usually possessed by a doctor, the masseur placed one hand towel on Rain's breasts and the other towel over her pubis. The woman proceeded to massage the hard muscle and the brown skin on Rain's legs. When her fingers caressed the curve of her left side, she tensed up. "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk" the masseur said through her clenched teeth. "Relax, Miss Hadley," she informed Rain. She heard Rain let out a sigh and felt the tension leave her form. The woman gave Rain a gentle smile. "Good, now tell me about what is making you so tense." "Well..." Rain started out saying. "I am tense, because I am going out on a date tonight." "A date; is that all that is making you nervous? From the way you are tightly coiled, I thought it might have been something more serious than a date, dear. What you are experiencing dear is a case of the jitters. I'm sure once you meet up with your date, it will all disappear." "There's more to it, lady. Trust me when I say this: I wish that this was going to be a simple date tonight. You see, tonight is going to be a blind date— "Oh, well, I am positive that you guys will hit it off," the masseur assured her, while soothing away the tension in her right arm. "I hope so. I really do. We've been dating for so long— "Dating, so he is your boyfriend? If that is the case, why is it a blind date, Madam?" "It's... complicated," stated Rain as she gazed at the ceiling. "Complicated, how complicated is it?" the masseur asked. "We have met through an internet chat room. You see, we've have known each other for a little bit over six years now. We were friends first and then after a year of chatting, he asked me to be his girlfriend. By then, I was already in love with him, so, there wasn't any hesitation from my part. Plus, I am nervous because we haven't seen each other in actual, real life. We have sent each other pictures of ourselves. I find him to be very attractive. He's told me he thought that I was pretty and beautiful. I know that he could've been lying to me. I know that I am not pretty. I know that much." Rain felt sad and embarrassed. She felt her throat constrict. She made a rough swallow. She felt her eyes sting with unformed tears. Rain saw the masseur's brow furrowed in disbelief. "Why do you believe that, Miss Hadley? You are a very beautiful woman." "Thank you," Rain said to her, as a tear slid from her left eye and down her cheek. She quickly wiped it remnants away with her hand. The masseuse walked away from Rain and the table for a brief moment to fetch Rain a tissue. "Thank you," Rain repeated as she dabbed up more tears that sprung from her eyes. "And if this gentleman doesn't find anything right with you, after all of this time that had passed, then he isn't a gentleman at all," the masseuse informed her. "But, let's hold out on that, okay? For all we know, this man might be a good man and he might be already 'head-over-heels' in love with you, Miss Hadley. So..." The woman gave Rain a playful smack on the thigh. "...let's finish up here and get you on your way, yes?" "Yes," Rain said to her, brightly and with a smile. After massaging away for a while, the masseur smiled and stared at Rain. "See, I was right. You indeed needed to talk to someone because right now you are as loose as a strand of cooked spaghetti!" Once her Swedish massage session was over, Rain felt well and she was relaxed. Her coffee bean-hued skin glowed from the nurturing session. She was escorted by one of the day spa's employees to the aesthetician section of the building, where she was to receive an extensive facial by one of the licensed specialists. She was left alone with a statuesque, blond-haired woman who gave her an icy greeting. The woman gave off the "I'm a cold bitch" vibe and it caused Rain to be leery. The statuesque beauty received her facial from the pale, stone-faced woman who possessed a flawless complexion. The woman pulled, pinched and squeezed at the flesh on Rain's face while chastising her for not having a healthy skincare regimen. The aesthetician cursed under her breath, in Russian as she 'extracted all of the impurities' from her client's pores. As she cursed, Rain sat quietly but gave her a glare that held intense hatred. After experiencing thirty minutes of that form of torture, the Russian woman slather a sweet-smelling but slight stinging cream on her face and then left her alone. For the entire fifteen minutes, Rain was happy for the reprieve. Once she left the clutches of that psychopath, Rain was escorted once again to another area of the Hamilton Hills Day Spa. She was taken to a place where she was going to receive her manicure and pedicure. She was chastised once again. But this time, it was her manicurist and it was about the appearance of her fingernails. The manicurist, an elderly woman who appeared to be in her sixties, was letting her know that her nails looked rough. However, the scolding was a playful one. Rain didn't take offense because it was the type of stuff that she was used to hearing from her sisters and from her friends. Plus, the room had a view of the Rocky Mountains from its floor-to-ceiling windows that were beautiful that kept her occupied. The manicurist had tried to her best to make her hands and fingernails appear prettier. She smoothed out the rough calluses on her fingers. She buffered, clipped and filed her nails, before applying two layers of orange-colored nail polish. She trimmed Rain's cuticles as well. After receiving her manicure, Rain received her pedicure in which she painted her toes in the same color orange. She was taken back to the women's locker room area, where she slipped her clothes back on. As she exited the locker room, she was greeted by a petite Asian woman. The woman, Rain guessed, had to be a few inches above five-feet tall, which was a lot smaller than Rain's 5'10 frame. The woman was cute, small but curvy. She wore the appropriate work attire: black slacks, black Polo-styled shirt with black sneakers. Her hair was cut in an asymmetrical bob and was dyed blonde. The woman and Rain exchanged greetings and then traveled to the upper level of the spa. The highest level of the building was where the hairstylists and make-up artists were located. When Rain first learned that her sisters Carol and Carmella had paid for the hair and makeup services, she was pleasantly surprise. Even though Carol was Rain's biggest supporter, she was also a spendthrift, so knowing that her sister was footing the bill for all these services was a shock; especially, ever since Carol was one of the people who was against the idea of Rain going out on a date with EvilKidKneeVeil57. The small-stature woman led Rain to a hairstylist's booth and informed her that her hairstylist had stepped away for a moment, but she'll be right back. Rain thanked the woman and sat down in the rotating stylist's chair. Rain, in a manner as to not draw attention to herself, surveyed the people in the room as she sat there. She glanced at the hairstylists and at their clients as their hair was either dyed, cut or styled. She glanced at the tools and other objects that were on the counter tops of her stylists' booth. Then, she realized that there was a possibility that her hairstylist was a person who never dealt with black women's hair. The thought made Rain's mind go into overdrive. Images of her, leaving the spa bald and in tears, ran through her mind. She was so occupied with those thoughts that she didn't notice a leggy, curvy, brunette walked up to her. "I am sssoooo sorry for keeping you waiting, ma'am," the brunette announced. She placed a hand on each of Rain's shoulders. Rain flinched and gasped, from surprise at the contact. It made the woman flinch slightly, in return. "Oh, I am sorry for that too, ma'am!" Rain let out a shaky giggle before glancing over her right shoulder at the woman. "No, I am sorry for scaring you. I'm sorry I was lost in my thoughts." "No, it's all right," the brunette assured her. "Hello, my name is Mitzi and I will be your hairstylist," she announced. "Hello, my name is Rain Hadley." Rain turned the chair around, so she could shake the woman's hand. The woman giggled. "Rain," the woman giggled, "what a coincidence. Rain is my daughter's name also," Mitzi informed her. Mitzi swung the chair around, so that Rain was staring at her reflection. "Well, it looks like I am in good company," Rain said with a smile. Mitzi smiled, giggled and then thanked her. "So, do you have any particular style in mind, Miss Hadley? I can see, based on your edges, that you do not perm your hair. So, I am going to guess that you don't want a relaxer in your hair." Mitzi glanced at the mirror and saw the look of surprise on Rain's face. "What? You didn't think that I knew how to do your hair, didn't you?" Rain gazed away from the mirror while admitting her answer and her guilt. Mitzi laughed. "Yes, I have the experience of doing black women's hair. I am originally from small town called Saffron. It's in Georgia and is about a hundred miles away from Atlanta. When I was living there, I worked in a hair salon where I did all kinds of hair, so your hair is not strange to these..." Mitzi waved her hands mid-air. "...hands right here. So, you are in safe hands, all right?" "All right," Rain sighed, as relief flooded into her. "And you're right by the way. I don't want a relaxer. I just want something different than I used to dealing with." "All right, so no creamy-crack for you" Mitzi joked, which made Rain laugh. "And don't worry I can make that happen for you. So, first let take these braids out of your hair. Go on, grab one of these mojos and get to unbraiding." Once again, Rain laughed and then grabbed a braid and began to unbraid. Both women chatted with each other while unbraiding the waist-length cornrows that graced Rain's hair. They talked about their upbringings and backgrounds. Mitzi spoke about her marriage, job and about her children while Rain told stories about her job and her family. She also told Mitzi about her date. By the time the final braid was released both women formed a bond between each other. Also by that time, the two women figured out Rain's new hairdo. Rain was unsure about some of the features that Mitzi wanted to do, but was reassured by the 5'8 woman. Rain stared at the mirror and watched Mitzi clip away split ends, applied highlights and low-lights to her hair. Her hair was washed and then conditioned. After her hair was rolled up in giant curlers, Mitzi and Rain parted ways briefly, so Rain could have her time with a makeup stylist. Once again, Rain was shocked when she saw the person who was going to apply her make-up. She was expecting another woman employee to work on her features instead she was greeted by a man. Just like the other Hamilton Hills Day Spa employees, he wore black clothes. If he didn't wear the employee shirt, Rain thought he could've been the spa's security guard or perhaps a professional wrestler. His height and girth was the first two things that she noticed about him. Rain guessed that he must've been at least 6'5 tall and had to weigh more than 260 pounds in muscles. Rain also noticed that he was very handsome. His skin held a healthy looking tan and some colorful tattoos. "Good afternoon Miss Hadley, my name is Raven and I will be doing your makeup today," the tall and muscular makeup artist had said to her, with a soft tone of voice. She didn't respond to his greeting right away. She was still in marvel over his beauty. Rain gave off a gentle smile. She stuck out her hand as a gesture for a handshake. "H-hello, how are you?" she fumbled out of her mouth. Raven complied with her request. He guided Rain to his styling, rotating chair and she sat down. Raven turned the chair around, away from the stylist vanity, so she couldn't see her reflection from the mirror. Rain eventually warmed up to Raven the makeup artist and started to speak to him. The two people talked as Raven applied cosmetics to her face. Like the conversations that she performed with Mitzi, Rain spoke about a range of topics. She also told the man about her blind date with her internet boyfriend. Raven, like Mitzi, he did not judge her. "All right, Miss Hadley, are you ready to see the final result?" Raven asked her. "Yes please," she said to him, sweetly, with a smile on her face. "Well, I am not going to show you..." He noticed that the smile fell away from her lips and a thin straight line formed. Raven laughed at her reaction. "You're going to have to wait until after your hair is finish." He helped her out of the chair, like a gentleman would. Mitzi had returned to fetch Rain. When Rain saw Mitzi's eyes widened slightly and a large smile grew on her face, she knew that Raven must've done a wonderful job. "Have fun tonight Miss Hadley," Raven said to her. "Thank you Raven," she said to him before being led away. "All right girl, are you ready to be blown away?" Mitzi asked Rain as she sat in her styling chair. Like Raven, Mitzi had made sure that Rain wasn't able to see her reflection as she styled. Rain had to wait until her hairstylist had finished. She had to rely on her imagination. "All right Miss Hadley, I am finished!" Mitzi announced, forty-eight minutes later. The hairstylist placed the brush and comb that she was holding on the rolling tray that stored curlers. She positioned Rain's hair off of her shoulders and fixed the out-of-placed strands of hair. "Are you ready?" she asked with a smile. EvilKidKneeVeil57 Ch. 01 Rain took a deep inhale and let out a strong exhale of oxygen. She was nervous, antsy and slightly afraid of the results. She thought there was a strong chance that she would hate her new hairstyle and how her face would look. But, Rain knew the real reason why she felt nervous, antsy and slightly afraid: Her boyfriend wouldn't find her acceptable once her makeup was washed off and her hair was no longer coiffed. Then she thought of the statement that the masseuse had given her. 'And if this gentleman doesn't find anything right with you, after all of this time had passed, then he isn't a gentleman at all.' She remembered the fact that EvilKidKneeVeil57 has been talking to her for six years. If he wasn't attracted to her, then he would've stopped communicating with her by now. Plus, he was aware of her flaws and about her hardships. He wasn't scared off. Instead, he was still there. He was still her boyfriend who told her that she was beautiful, strong and she was also his woman. The act of reminding herself of those facts caused the doubt to burn out of her mind and her confidence to come back. Rain looked at Mitzi. A radiant smile grew on her face. "Yes, I'm ready," she announced. **** "OH MY GOD... RAIN! OH MY GOD, YOU LOOK SO GREAT! YOU LOOK SSSSOOOOO GOOD, HOT DAMN!" Rain laughed at her sister's reaction. Rain left the Hamilton Hills Day Spa and after she entered Beauty the car, she texted a picture of herself to her sisters. Carol was the sister to call her. For Rain, Carol's reaction was expected. Carol shouted so loud that Rain pulled the phone away from her left ear. She placed the device on the dashboard. She thought that the phone belong there anyway. The last thing she wanted to happen was being caught by a highway patrolman talking on her phone while she was driving her car. "Thank you for the compliment, Carol, even though it sounded a bit backhanded," Rain stated to her sister. "What, what do you mean?" Carol said to her. Rain was silent for a moment, in effort for Carol to realize her snafu. "Oh my God, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say that, Rain! I'm sorry! What I meant to say was that you look great, Rain! Not that you don't you look great every day! Or that you're ugly and you are now pretty..." Carol proceeded to babble incoherently. Rain laughed at her sister's reaction. "Carol! Carol! Carol, stop babbling! I know what you were trying to say! I was just fucking with you, Kiddo!" Rain said into her phone, chuckling. Rain heard her sister stop babbling and fall silent from her end. "Carol?" "You're an asshole," Carol stated in a monotone fashion, which garnered a chuckle from Rain. "Yeah, laugh it up, asshole. God, I hope your boyfriend isn't like you because then I have to deal with two assholes at Christmas dinner." "What makes you think that we will be going to your Christmas dinner? We could be going over to his parents' house for Christmas." "I know for a FACT that you will be over at my house for Christmas dinner because your ass LOVES my cooking and I know there's no woman out there, who cannot compete with my cooking!" "OH GOD, you have such an ego!" Rain guffawed. "Yeah, I do. I have the luxury of being egotistical ever since I have managed to give birth to six kids and get back to my original size. And I should mention that each one of my big assed kids weigh no less than seven pounds, when they were born and I had to push them out of my vagina! So, yes, if I do a little bit of ego-stroking, I will." "Oh goodness," Rain chuckled. "So, did you send the picture to Carmella?" "Yup, I did and she sent me a text message, telling me that I am a 'sexy bitch' and that I will 'get laid tonight' and that I should 'make every thrust, stroke and lick count'. And that is from our virginal, pure baby sister." Rain heard Carol laugh. "The people at the spa did a great job with your hair and makeup. How was the process? Were they nice to you during the time that you were there? You look absolutely great, Rain! You're no longer Rain, my tomboy baby sister with the braids and the baggy boy-clothes. You're now a woman and a sexy one." "Yes, they were nice to me. They made sure that I was comfortable during the whole time, except for one chick. The lady who did my facial was a totally bitch to me, but that is neither here or there. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. The spa thing was definitely the highlight of my trip so far." Rain heard her sister sigh. She sensed her sister's feeling of pity. "Really, are your friends really that bad?" inquired Carol. "Ehh, not really, the ones that I can't stand are Georgina and her two friends, Delilah and Joshua. The other ones are okay. Out of that group, the only person that I can say is my friend is Iris. The rest of them are her friends, not mine. The only reason why I am on this trip is because it was free, Iris was going to be here, I had the vacation time and I always wanted to go snowboarding. Otherwise than that, I stay out of their way and they stay out of mine." "So, how are Kendrick and his parents?" "They're fine. I can't believe that you actually remember Kendrick." "Rain, they are not hard to forget. You and Georgina were as thick as thieves, when you were kids and Kendrick was the little brother who tagged along. Plus, it is kind of hard to forget about him. Remember when Georgina and Kendrick had to stay with us for over the weekend, because their mom was in the hospital to give birth to their baby sister?" inquired Carol. Rain laughed at the memory. "Yeah, I remember. They both acted like they've never seen so many black people before." "But they wanted to come back for the next weekend though, didn't they?" Carol stated. "Especially Little Kenny, he really loved hanging out with Daddy." Both women laughed. "Well, don't let those idiots bother you. You say that you stay out of their way and that's what you need to keep on doing. Have fun while you're there because once you come back to New York, you're back at work and dealing with the fucking stresses of life— "Uh-oh Mommy, you cursed!" Rain heard her four year-old niece Caitlyn say to Carol, in the background. "I'm telling Daddy!" Carol cursed under her breath. "No, no, no Caitlyn, don't go tattle-tale on Mommy! Daddy will make Mommy put her last twenty dollars in the 'Swearing Jar' and Mommy needs that money! Caitlyn... Caitlyn, come back here! Caitlyn..." Carol let put a sigh. "Rain, I gotta go!" Rain chuckled out an "All Right" before ending the phone call. She placed her phone back on the dashboard and continued to drive. On her way back to the resort of where she was staying, when she was fifteen minutes away, her trip came to a halt. Her journey was stopped due to her police-sanctioned check-point that was in the middle of the road. Highway patrolmen were slowing down the traffic from both lanes, due to trying to clean up after a car accident that occurred earlier in the day. Rain rolled the driver's window down and stuck her head out. She viewed the line of parked cars that was in front of her Camaro. She counted twelve cars that was ahead of her. She viewed the checkpoint and saw a patrolman chatting with the driver of the first car. She took note that the driver was an elderly woman. She also took note of the cop's physical language. He was relaxed around the woman, which let Rain know that those two individuals were on familiar terms. 'Oh great, the old biddy is probably asking the cop for info about the accident. This is going to take forever,' she concluded. She placed her head back in the car and rolled her window back up. After she reclined in the driver's seat, Rain had taken in her environment. She gazed out of the windshield and stared out at the scenery. She stared at the distant snow-covering mountains, the sun which was approaching dusk, the blue sky and the substantial forest that surrounded the asphalt road. Rain felt blessed. A mental picture of her boyfriend popped into her mind, she felt her body burn with arousal. 'Soon, soon' her mind whispered. She thought back to the night when she first made contact with EvilKidKneeVeil57. **** "Hey what's up, TomBoyCutie18? Do u want 2 chat w/ me?" Rain's attention was taken away from the internet article that she was reading and was now focused on the small rectangle-shaped screen that popped up in front of the article. She read the request and then glanced at the name of the sender. "EvilKidKneeVeil57? I don't know an 'EvilKidKneeVeil57'. Who's this?" Rain muttered to her computer screen. She placed her laptop on her bare thighs. She typed out a reply. "No, thank you. Have a goodnight." Then Rain had close down the small rectangle-shaped window and had gone back to her reading material. A few seconds later, another window had popped up. "Y not?" was the message. Rain scoffed in annoyance. Her fingers typed up another message. "I don't talk to strangers. Bye." Then she closed the instant message box. She had gone back to her reading material. "Teknickally, we r not talking. We r writing." 'Okay, now this dude is annoying me,' she thought. "Technically, the word is 'technically'. You had spelled it wrong. Have a goodnight." She had closed the message box and gone to the home page of her instant message program. She logged off of her account. Then she had gone back to reading. Rain didn't have any contact with EvilKidKneeVeil57 for the next five weeks. In between that amount of time, Rain had gone through a family tragedy. There were deaths in her family, her grandparents. Her maternal grandma Eddie and her maternal grandfather Peter died from carbon monoxide poisoning that managed to seep into their home. She was very close to her grandparents, especially after the death of her mom. Her grandparents were also her legal guardians, as well as, for Carmella. After dealing for weeks with the after-effects of their surprising demise, Rain was in need for a distraction. On one fateful night, she decided to log onto her instant message account. She discovered that her message mailbox was full with messages. She discovered that all of the forty-six messages were from EvilKidKneeVeil57. She read all of the emails. By the time she finished reading the forty-sixth message, her face was flushed from embarrassment due from the flirtatious matter that were in his messages. He complimented her profile page. He left comments about the daily journal passages that she had written on her MySpace page. Each message had made her felt good about herself. Afterwards, Rain had gone to EvilKidKneeVeil57's profile page that was on the website. EvilKidKneeVeil57's profile page was very creative and visually entertaining, Rain thought as she took in everything. His page's background art consisted of an army camouflage pattern. They were bright graphics, gifs of actions sports and video clips of people performing stunts. She looked for a profile picture but only found a black-and-white picture of Evel Knievel in its place. She debated with herself about leaving him a message. She didn't want to look like she was desperate for attention. Then she thought that if she didn't leave him with a 'thank you', she would appear to be ungrateful. So she left him a message in which she thanked him for the compliments and then she left his profile page. An hour later, Rain was downloading music off of Napster, when a small box appeared on her computer screen. It was a message from EvilKidKneeVeil57. "You're welcome. Where have u been?" When she saw the message window, she squealed in glee. Then her fingers typed up a message. "1st off, I would like to say that I am sorry for being a bitch to you. I usually talk to friends, when I use this. Not strangers. The last thing that I need is for a 55 yr. old, middle school principal trying to talk to me." A few minutes later, another message window popped up on her laptop's screen. "LOL! It's ok. U don't have to apologize. I understand. So, did u read my messages?" Rain typed, "Yes, I read all 46 of them! LOL! I wasn't on here for a while. I have to deal with some things." "Like what?" "My grandparents died and I was dealing with that," she confessed to him. "I'm sorry about that." "Thank u. I don't wanna think about it right now, if u don't mind. I came on here because I needed a distraction from everything. So, where r u from? R u from New York?" She received his answer a few seconds later. "I live in California, born and raised. I was born in the San Diego area and I was raised in San Francisco area. U mention New York, do u live there, baby?" Seeing that EvilKidKneeVeil57 had referred to her as 'baby', made her cheeks grow hot-tempered. No guy has ever given her a term of endearment or even a nickname. Giggling, Rain typed, "Yes, I live in New York City, born and raised". "An East Coast girl, huh? Let me guess, you are from Brooklyn?" "Nope, I am from Queens. I don't fault you from guessing Brooklyn though. Everybody and their mama have met somebody who has come from Brooklyn. It's a large borough. What do you like to do for fun? Are you a student? Do you go to college?" "Is this ur way of finding out if I am a middle-aged school principal? Cuz, I am not." "LMFAO! No! Well... are you?" "No, I'm not. But, I am older than u. I am 19. I am sailor. I mean, I am in the United States Navy." "The Navy? That's cool. I am still a student. A high school student. I am 17 years old..." A friendship had formed between Rain and EvilKisKneeVeil57, thanks to the internet pen pal system. On every evening, for a few hours, Rain would log onto her account and would "speak" to her friend in San Francisco, California. There were days when she would rush home, just to log onto her messenger and speak with EvilKidKneeVeil57. For Rain, she considered her friend to be a 'God send', due to his ability to keep her mind off of the bad things. If there was an occasion, when she couldn't put her grief on the backburner like when her parents' birthdays approached or when September 11th rolled around, he provided her with comfort. Between the two of them, the communication was constant; no more than two days would go by without a conversation. For over twelve months, they spoken about anything; the topics ranged from politics to sports, conversations about automobiles, talks about pop culture and entertainment. She considered him as a friend and she loved him as if he was the brother that she never had. Then, on another fateful night which took place a year and three months later, their friendship ended. "What's up TomBoy?" "Nothing much, Kid. I'm just typing up an essay. What's up Kid?" Rain typed into her message box. "Nothing much. Hey, do u remember that girl Gina that I told u about?" Rain read his question and suddenly felt a lump grow inside of her throat. 'What about her?' her brain growled. She remembered her friend writing about a girl named Gina. She was a former classmate of his, when he was in high school. He even emailed a picture of her. In the photo, she was posing provocatively while her box-shaped body was in a cheap-looking bikini and holding a can of Budweiser. Rain thought that she looked like she was 'rode hard and put away wet'. After viewing the picture, Rain immediately thought Gina was not good enough for Kid. She swallowed harshly and let out a sigh, before typing her response. "Yeah, I remember her. What's up?" She waited for a few seconds before his answer had popped up. "I asked her out for a date and she said that we could hang out." Rain's mouth formed a wavering sigh and her eyes watered with tears. "I hope you have a great time on your date. I have to get off now. My sister is calling me. I don't think that I will be on later. Goodnight" was her next and last message that was posted. Rain quickly logged off of the program before EvilKidKneeVeil57 could give her a response. She didn't want to read anymore messages that pertained to Gina, his date and potential girlfriend. After she logged off of her account, Rain changed out of her clothes and swapped them for some sweatpants with a tank top. She had gone into the cellar of the house, where all of the exercise equipment was located and utilized her brother's punching bag. She was angry. She imagined the bag was the mysterious Gina's face. Her fists pounded at the heavy bag. After spending an hour beating the bag, Rain still felt the anger radiating inside of her soul. It felt like it sat in the pit of her belly and it burned as if it was a ball of fire. Sitting in a corner of the room, a sweat-soaked Rain pondered why she felt so angry. Prior to that night, EvilKidKneeVeil57 was awesome, according to Rain. Now and so suddenly, he was a dickhead. He was just like every other boy that she knew. 'Why do I feel like this?' she thought. For three days, she still found herself wondering why she was angry at EvilKidKneeVeil57. She wondered why her anger rose every time the mental image of Kid and Gina together popped up into her mind. She had no reason to be angry at him. He was her friend. He almost felt like he could've been her brother. She should've felt happy that he was going out and immersing himself in a social scene. She has seen a picture of Kid; he is a handsome man: tall, smooth dark skin that reminded her dark cocoa, a handsome face with mature features, a nice complexion and a fit body. Plus, he contained a great personality. So, it shouldn't be any surprise that he had women throwing themselves at him. She didn't have an answer until Carol had given her one. Carol was tired of the middle sister's piss-poor attitude, so she confronted Rain about her behavior. Reluctantly, she explained the reason for her attitude to Carol. After she was done giving her explanation, her older sister said that she wasn't angry, but she was feeling jealousy. Rain denied the accusation at first. But, after spending a few hours doing some intrapersonal reflection, Rain realized that her sister was right. She was jealous. She liked him. She acknowledged the fact that she didn't think of EvilKidKneeVeil57 as her 'big brother from California' anymore. Later on that day, she logged onto her instant messaging account. Immediately she checked her mailbox. There were four messages left in her virtual mailbox. All of the messages were from EvilKidKneeVeil57. In his first message, Kid written that he was going on his date, later on that night. In his second message, the letter was longer and more detailed. He had written a letter about his date with Gina. He stated that his dating experience was 'okay'. It wasn't exciting or fun, which excited Rain. At the end of his message, he asked her if she was feeling all right. In his third letter, he made an inquiry about her lack of communication. He makes a light-hearted joke about her lack of talking to him is the first time in a year that they haven't spoken. In his fourth letter, he confronted her about her lack of communication. At the end of that letter, he apologized for being rude towards her. Rain let out a sigh. 'Girl, you need to talk to him before you chase him away.' She opened up her messaging box and then penned a message to EvilKidKneeVeil57. After she was done, she proof-read her message: "Hey Kid! Long time, no see. I'm sorry for not responding or talking to you. The truth is I was jealous of the fact that you had gone on a date. It's stupid, I know. I was jealous of the girl and of the fact that she was with you. To put it out there, I like you, Kid. I am not going to lie to you. I like you, but not like you as a brother either." Satisfied with her message, Rain hit the 'send' button on her message box. Three minutes after she sent the message, she received a message. It was from EvilKidKneeVeil57. In his response, he didn't write a text message but he did attached a picture to his message. Rain checked out the picture. It was a picture of a handmade sign that was sitting on a desktop. The sign read "I like U too, Rain. Do U want to be my girlfriend?" with the text written with a magic marker. EvilKidKneeVeil57 Ch. 01 Rain felt like her heart was going to rip out of her chest, from shock and excitement. Her face grew flushed and her eyes burn with tears. She felt so happy that she thought she might faint. Rain's fingers fumbled a few times, when she typed a 'yes' into the small message box. She sent her message out, hoping that he will receive the message. A few seconds later, she received a response. "I love you." Rain let out a wavering sigh and used her hand as a fan. With those three words, he made her feel hot and flustered. She squeezed her thighs together to assuage the throbbing that was growing in the apex of her thighs. "I love you too, Kid." The friendship ended and this was the beginning of their relationship. **** Once she was able to drive pass the police check point, driving was a breeze for Rain. She arrived back at the Snow Crest Ski Lodge and Resort, a few minutes later. After driving through a few of the tourist-heavy neighborhoods and the shopping strip, she arrived at the 'log cabin' in which she resided. The log cabin was a modernized mansion that housed twelve bedrooms, sixteen bathrooms, a banquet room-sized dining room, a restaurant-styled kitchen, an indoor Olympic-sized Infinity pool with three cabanas, a Media room, a spacious living room with a massive skylight and a veranda that views the Rocky Mountains. The expensive property belonged to George Moppett, a billionaire real estate mogul, Kendrick and Georgina's father. He also owned the ski lodge and resort. While gathering all of her belongings from the front passenger seat, Rain saw two people lounging on the veranda. She heard a shrilled yelp slice through the frosty air while she stood outside of the car. It was her friend, Iris. She saw her friend run over to the porch's staircase. Rain took note of the surprised expression that Iris held on her face. "Rain, oh my God, you look great! They did a great job! You look great!" Iris squealed. "She's right Rain, the salon people did a great job," said Elena with her thick Irish accent slicing through the thick cold air. She was a fellow house-mate and the girlfriend of another one of the mansion's residents. "Thank you," Rain said to the both of them, as she climbed up the porch's steps. "I like the new look myself. I will admit it does feel slightly uncomfortable." "Will this new look that you have become your permanent one?" inquired Iris as her left eyebrow arched while there was a sly smile running across her lips. "No, so you might as well take a picture because it is not going to be an ongoing thing. Plus, it is going to be hard changing oil out of cars and fixing carburetors with my hair out and with these fancy looking fingernails. And then, there's the fellas at work who will bust my balls about this new Barbie look," explained Rain. Elena giggled while Iris looked a little disappointment with hearing the news. "But, you look sooo good, Rain! If you can keep this up, you can continue hanging out with us! I'm sure Delilah and Georgina would— "Iris, honey, even if I did keep this look up, the last thing I would want to do is hang out Delilah and Georgina's evil asses! And what's with the 'Georgina and Delilah will let me hang out with them' business? The last time I've checked, we are no longer in high school. Pretending that you're hanging out with the rich bitches at the lunch table ain't cool anymore. Speaking of them, where are the two gargoyles?" Rain asked. "They are still in town with the guys. They have gone shopping," informed Elena. Rain scoffed. "What else is new about those two? For a moment there, I thought that you guys were out here because of their overabundance of pretentiousness and their conceitedness was stinking up the house." Elena laughed. Iris frowned. "When are you and Georgina going to kiss and make up, Rain?" asked Iris. Rain pulled the storm door open and then she opened the front door. She glanced at Iris. "The only thing Georgina could kiss is my ass, Iris. Besides, I wasn't the one who ended our friendship." Rain entered the foyer of the mansion and was greeted by the warm temperature emitted from the heating vents. With her bags in her hands, she entered the hallway that led to the kitchen. She strolled by the entrance of the living room. As she attempted to stroll pass the room, she glanced into the room. She found two out of four male housemates, Cody and Wild Boy lounging on the floor, playing a video game. "Hey," she greeted them, before she walked pass the room. As she walked by the dining room, she heard two pairs of sneaker-clad feet skid across a hardwood floor. As she entered the kitchen, she glanced over her right shoulder. She saw Cody and Wild Boy enter the corridor. She walked over to the center of the kitchen, over to the island counter. She placed her bags on the countertop. She traveled over to the refrigerator and opened the door. "Rain?" She heard the voice call her name as she perused the inside of the refrigerator. The voice revealed the confusion that the owner felt at the moment. Rain smiled, feeling slightly complimented. She closed the refrigerator door and saw the two young men standing in the doorway. On each of their handsome faces, each man held an expression that conveyed confusion and surprise. 'Did I look that bad before?' she pondered. She walked over to the island that was in the middle of the kitchen. On the countertop was a bowl of fruit. She was starving and wanted to eat something. She grabbed a banana. "Yes?" she said innocently, as she peeled the skin off of the fruit. "How are you guys doing?" "You... You..." Cody stuttered out while staring at her, wide-eyed and a small smile on his face. "You... You..." "You look great, Rain," stated Wild Boy while staring at her intently. "Thank you guys," she said with a smile and a blush to her face. "What's the occasion?" asked Cody, as he walked further into the kitchen. He sat on a stool that was positioned on the other side of the island. Wild Boy continued to stand in the doorway. "I am going out on a date tonight," she informed Cody. "He lives out in California and he's making a trip out here to see me." "Oh yeah?" Cody said, with a bright smile. "Yeah, but he's only staying for two days. He's on leave— "He's in the military?" "No, he's in the Navy. He was in the Navy when I first met him, but he's re-enlisted— "So, he's older than us?" inquired Cody. "Yeah, he's 25— "Well, he might be older than us and is cold-blooded killing machine, but I can still kick his ass. So, you tell him if he breaks your heart, he has to deal with me," warned Cody. Rain laughed at Cody's "protective, big brother" routine. Her right hand fussed with his shaggy, chin-length blonde hair. "I will tell him," she informed him. A wave of silence had entered the room. It was during this time that the both of them noticed that Wild Boy had left the kitchen. "He seems... different today. Usually, he's bouncing off of the walls and acting like a little kid that's jacked up on sugar. Now, he's all quiet as shit. What's up with him?" Cody shrugged his shoulders and briefly frowned up his face. "Who knows? He's been acting different since he's broken his arm— "Speaking of which, how did he break his arm, by the way? I was too busy snowboarding. All I know is there was a mob of people around him as he lied on the ground." "The dumb ass was trying to perform an Ollie off of a ramp while being blindfolded. He missed the ramp and ended colliding with a wooden pole. I'm sure some kid out there had recorded it and now it is on YouTube." Rain laughed. "In my opinion, I think he was a dumb ass long before the arm-breaking incident." "Rain?" Cody said to her with a tone of voice that sounded as if he was appalled by her statement. "What, Cody?" she said to him, feeling slightly offended. "You don't think that was a bit harsh?" "Um...no," she said, matter-of-factly. She had taken a bite of her banana. "If it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck and looks like a duck, then it is a duck. So, if Wild Boy does things that makes him look like a dumb ass in the end, then guess what? If you don't believe me, think back to all of the dumb shit that he used to do, when we were in high school. The dumb ass things like the time you dared him to jump off of your parents' garage and he did it. Or the time when you and Iggy dared him to hold an M-80 in his hands and he did it. Or the time he jumped off of the roof of Carl Mulligan's house and into his pool, because he wanted to outshine Carl, who just finished breaking his left arm after he jumped off of that very same roof. Or the time he had almost gotten his ass kicked by a couple of Cholo wannabes because he was acting like a drunken, frat boy." "You say 'dumb' and I say that he is a risk-taker," Cody told her. Rain scoffed. "Then there's the hairstyle he has right now. The mullet-mohawk thing that he is sporting is a dead giveaway. If you were a good friend Cody, you would convince him to shave that shit off of his head," Rain said to him with a smirk. "What's wrong with the mullet-hawk?" said Cody. "He looks stupid, Cody! He has a Mohawk with a mullet in the back. And what makes it worse is the fact that he intentionally grew his hair out so he could shave it all off and have that dumb hairstyle! I am surprise that Iggy hasn't said anything about it. You know how he likes to appear cool and fashion-forward, when he is in public." "Iggy is not going to say anything because as long Wild Boy has that thing on his head, there's less competition for him. He loves it that way. He's such a prima donna. " "I know. We have gone to the same prep school, remember? He can be worse than Joshua sometimes," Rain informed him. "Yes, yes he can." Rain looked out of the window and noticed that night time was approaching. "Shit, I have to get ready for my date. Let me go and get ready." Rain picked up her bags and skipped out of the kitchen. "Hey Rain, I mean what I said about your date! I will put a hurting on him!" Cody shouted out of the kitchen. "Oh please Cody!" **** "I wish that I would've brought some jeans instead of this!" grunted Rain. She was standing in the dressing chamber that was attached to her bedroom. "You can't wear jeans in the Elk, Rain! It is a nice restaurant with a strict dress code!" Iris informed her, as she lied across Rain's king-sized mattress. "I don't see why a person has to dress up as if they are going to a job interview, when all they are doing is eating a meal!" "That's because most people attend to these restaurants for the ambiance and the privilege of being there," explained Elena as she sat on the chaise lounge at the foot of the canopy bed. "Ugh, whatever!" Rain emerged from the closet and was greeted by a collective gasp. Rain took note of Elena and Iris' facial expressions. Iris was a bright shade of pink. She held a look of pleasant surprise: her blue eyes were wide, her eyebrows were high and her mouth was agape. Elena's light brown face held a burgundy shade. She wore an expression of amusement. 'Well, if that is their reaction...' Rain walked over to the opposite of the room, to the vanity table and mirror. 'Oh' was her initial reaction as she gazed at her reflection, 'I look fucking awesome!' Earlier on that day, when Rain was preparing for her day, she thought about her expectations from her trip at Hamilton Hills Day Spa. She wasn't expecting a vast improvement. She was expecting for them to do something with her long, kinky-curled hair and give her a halfway decent massage. She wasn't expecting the end result to be spectacular. When she left the mansion on that morning, she wore her staple: a men's ill-fitting sweat suit, a pair of black construction boots and a big men's coat over her clothes. Her unkempt and often-neglected hair was styled in four thick braids. On her round-shaped face, she didn't wear any makeup. Now, she looked totally different. She looked like the 23 year-old woman that she was. The ill-fitting clothes were gone and its place was a dress with a pair of high heels. Rain wore a tangerine-colored, Herve Leger strapless, bandage dress. The dress ended at the middle of her thighs and showcased her long, beautiful legs. The dress hugged onto every curve on her tall, curvaceous 36-25-39 frame. The front of the dress had a 'sweetheart neckline' which provided a subtle dip that highlighted her cleavage. On her feet, were a pair of metallic gold, peep toe heels that made her gait stand out more. Her unkempt, kinky hair was tamed and straightened. Mitzi had done a wonderful job, in Rain's opinion. Once she clipped away the split ends, she cut her hair into layers so her hair could frame her face. She added burgundy highlights which made her skin appear to be glowing. To add more of a feminine flair, Mitzi had curled her hair and styled it with a side parting. Raven had done a tremendous job as well, with her makeup. He wanted to give her a 'sultry and seductive' look for tonight. He focused her eyes during the process. He gave a 'smoky eye' and added false eyelashes as well. He finished with his work by adding lip gloss. "Oh my God Rain, you look so fucking hot! Your date is going to have a hard time— Elena giggled at the unintended double entendre. Iris gave her a gentle slug on the shoulder. "Not being distracted by you tonight! He is definitely going to try to get some good-good tonight," Iris suggested. "Is he going to get some good-good tonight?" she asked with her voice going down in octave, with an arch of a brow. Rain gave a smirk. "Maybe," she said in a sing-song voice. "I am wearing some pretty skanky looking underwear underneath this dress!" The three young women erupted in squeals and giggles. "So... this Evil Kid... Is he going to be your first?" Iris inquired. Rain used the mirror's reflection to gaze at Iris's face. "Technically, no, he won't be." Her friend's eyes had gone big in shock. "Rain, when and with whom?" "It was a kid from my neighborhood. He was my neighbor. To make a long story short and less icky sounding, he popped my cherry when he fingered me, in my grandparents' garage. I was sixteen at the time." "Why didn't you tell me?" Iris said to her. "I was embarrassed as hell about it. He popped my cherry and I freaked the fuck out! I thought he had broken something. I was too afraid to tell my grandma about it. Luckily, I had Carol to talk to. So, yeah, I am still technically I am not a virgin. But I do want to be sexually intimate with Kid. I love him." "Awww" Iris and Elena both groaned. "Oh shut up!" Rain chuckled. "Kid and I, we've done some sexual things over the years. Nothing salacious like making videos and stuff, but we've sent pictures to each other and told each other about our fantasies. We've had had phone sex before. So, what about you, Iris? Are you still holding onto your V-Card?" Iris shook her head. "No, I lost mine during junior year. It was with Peter Mulligan— "Peter Mulligan, isn't he the big-tall-albino, gay volleyball player from our PE class?" "Yep, he is the one and the same. I lost it to him because Georgina and Delilah said that he was a perfect candidate to lose it to— "Iris, the perfect candidate that you should've lost it to would've been some guy that you actually like or was attracted to or perhaps loved. Someone like..." Rain applied a coat of her lip gloss to her bottom lip, "A man like Wild Boy, perhaps?" Rain asked with a smirk. She watched her friend turn a bright shade of pink in embarrassment. She squealed and placed her face onto the mattress. She released a hail of giggles into the solid object. Elena and Rain watched her in amusement. Once her torrent of girlish squeals ended, she removed her face. "So, I'm guessing that would be a 'yes'?" "Yyyyyeeesss," Iris said in a drawl. "He is so gorgeous!" she announced. Elena laughed. "Today, we were all hanging out by the pool and he had taken a swim. Rain, you should've been there! His body is banging!" Rain let out a hearty chuckle. "He has an eight-pack, Rain, an eight-pack! I don't know too many guys with an eight-pack! He has a body that was created by the gods!" "Too bad those gods didn't give him enough common sense to know not to try skateboarding tricks blindfolded" Elena joked. "That was not his fault! He was trying to impress a couple of bimbos!" Iris informed her. "All right, I stand corrected" Elena said with a smile and her hands held up in mock surrender. "Go on and tell us what else do you like about him?" "He's sexy and he's smart— "HE'S SMART?" Both Elena and Rain said the statement simultaneously. Both women briefly glanced at each other and then back to Iris. Iris rolled her eyes. "Yes, he's smart! He did get good grades in our classes. Plus, all of those stunts that he does take careful planning and schematics. It's not like he is doing all of these things half-cocked and all willy-nilly." "So when are you going to make your first move?" Elena asked the love-struck woman. "Soon," was Iris' answer. "Very soon. I am just waiting for the right moment." The three women continued to talk as Rain continued to fix her up. Suddenly the bedroom door opened and two women entered the room. One woman was a brunette while the other woman's hair was a chocolate-colored brown. Both young women wore similar outfits: sweater-dresses with a pair of leggings and a pair of Ugg Boots on their feet. The brunette was small in height and petite in size. Her waist-length, black hair was straight and was styled to keep out of her face. She had a matured face with sensual features: a pair of blue eyes that doe-shaped, a petite but full pair of pink lips, high cheekbones and a pristine nose that is set on an oblong face. Her friend has a different stature: she's slightly taller, less curvy and thinner than her friend. Her shoulder-length, brown hair was slightly wavy and flowing. On her heart-shaped face, she wore a pair of doe-shaped brown eyes, a delicate nose, full cheeks, a pair of thin lips and a pronounced chin. Iris, Elena and Rain stopped talking and stared at the two interlopers. "Don't you knock?" Rain asked the both of them, her voice lost the joy. "This is my house, I can enter in any room as I please," said the mousy-brown haired with her arms crossed over her ample bosom. "Hello, Georgina and Delilah," greeted Elena. Her attempt at trying to keep the energy up, and the environment less tense, was obvious. Georgina and Delilah glared at Elena. "Mmm," Georgina hummed. "Why, Georgina, you're being impolite..." Rain informed her, as she stared at her reflection. "...Elena said 'hello' to you and you are walking into people's bedrooms without knocking... Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's very rude and un-ladylike for you. I'm sure that your parents won't like hearing about that. After all, didn't your mom pay a lot of money on those etiquette classes for you?" Rain's dark brown eyes gazed at Georgina's reflection. She watched the woman stared back at her. "Where you're going?" she asked as her eyes perused Rain's outfit. "You look like you raided Kim Kardashian's closet." Rain rolled her eyes in annoyance. She slipped a few bangles on her left wrist. Georgina glanced over to her friend, Delilah. "Doesn't she look like a Kim Kardashian reject?" Her friend giggled with feigned joy. "Yes" Delilah chuckled out while nodding her head, "she does look like a Kim Kardashian reject!" "Is it an actual Herve Leger dress or is it one of those H&M knock offs?" inquired Delilah. "It doesn't matter ever since the dress is two seasons old," commented Georgina. "I think she looks beautiful tonight," Iris chimed in. EvilKidKneeVeil57 Ch. 01 "No one wants to know what you're thinking!" Georgina sniped at her. "If I want opinion about fashion, you wouldn't be on my list!" The tension level increased. "Thank you for your compliment," Rain said to her friend. "You didn't answer my question," Georgina said to Rain, as if she was entitled. "I wasn't planning on to," Rain informed her former friend. "By the way, if you keep on frowning like that you're going to need a dose of Botox sooner than expected." Rain didn't have to glance over at Georgina to know that she was frowning. "You— "She has a date," told Iris. Georgina and Delilah broke out in a laugh. Rain knew that they were making another attempt at trying to belittle her. The attempt failed because Rain thought it was more juvenile than mean-spirited. "A date with whom? Is it a blind man? Or is it a married man?" Delilah inquired. Rain scoffed at their inquisition. "I don't break up marriages. That type of shit is right up your alley Delilah, remember? Or have you forgotten about that scandal from high school?" Rain scanned Delilah's face. She could tell that she had struck a nerve with her. Delilah's eyes were squinting, her nostrils were flaring and her face was flushed. Rain decided to ignore her. "What do you two ice queens want?" Georgina and Delilah followed suit by not engaging in anymore verbal sparring. "We had come in here to let you know that we're going to the Glace tonight. Iggy knows the manager and she managed to hook us up with VIP. Be ready by eleven," reported Georgina. "If you don't think that you won't be too busy with..." Delilah snickered which prompted Georgina to chortle a bit. "... Your date, you should come on by. In fact, you should bring him." "I'll think about it," said Rain. 'Hell no, I am not bringing him around you bitches.' Delilah and Georgina left the bedroom with Iris tagging along. A few seconds after their departure, the sounds of their laughter filled the corridor. Rain gave herself one final look in the mirror. She sauntered over to the foot of her bed (to the sound of Elena's catcalling) to fetch the floor-length chinchilla coat that was resting on the mattress. She carefully slipped on the coat. She didn't want to damage the coat, because it belonged to her sister Carol. "All right, lady, I am off to meet the love of my life." **** "Good evening, welcome to the Elk. My name is Gretchen. How can I help you?" the hostess greeted. "Um, good evening, I have a reservation for 7:00. It is under the name of Hadley." Rain watched the woman scan her small appointment book. "Aha, yes, we have you here Miss Hadley. It will be dinner for two people, is that correct?" Rain nodded her head. The woman gave her a bright smile. "Miss Hadley, can you please follow me?" The hostess stepped away from her podium and then escorted Rain through the dining area. As Rain followed the woman, she saw that she caught certain men looking in her direction. She felt their eyes ogle her ass as she walked away. She had never experience such an incident. It felt weird, but it provided a thrill. The hostess led her to a booth seating that was stationed in a corner on the restaurant. She allowed Rain to become comfortable in her seat before speaking again. "Your server will be with you shortly. Have a good night, madam." "Thank you," Rain said to the woman. Once the woman was a few feet away from the table, Rain took in a deep breath and exhaled. She was nervous. This case of the jitters felt a lot worse than the one that she experienced earlier in the day. Rain opened her clutch bag and pulled out her cell phone. She checked the battery charge and to see if she received any new messages. There weren't any new ones. She let out another breath. 'Tonight is going to be a long night.' **** "Ay, yo guys, the pizza has arrived!" Kendrick announced. He was standing the foyer of the house. The pizza delivery man had just arrived with the food. He walked through the corridor and entered the dining room, where his friends were congregating. He placed the six boxes of pizza pies onto the long dining table. He pulled up a chair to where his friends sat and joined in. "Yo, the food has arrived, dig in," he reiterated. "We heard you the first time," Delilah said to him with iciness to her tone. In response, Kendrick flipped the bird. She gave him a snarl before re-joining the conversation. "So, tell me everything: What was she wearing? How did she look?" inquired Joshua, Delilah and Georgina's friend. His natural masculine voice was tapered to have a soft and feminine lilt. He held a paper fan in his right hand and used it to cool himself down. "She look like a Kim Kardashian clone wearing a fake Herve Leger dress," stated Georgina. "She looked like she belonged in a rap video or on a corner at least!" "What are you guys talking about?" Kendrick asked, as she grabbed a slice of pepperoni pizza out of a box. "Rain has left here tonight to go on a date," Joshua informed him. "Looking like a ghetto hoochie mama," added Delilah. 'A date... Who is the fucker that's on a date...?' Hearing the news of Rain going out on a date caused Kendrick to be neglectful with his slice of pizza; he ended up burning the fingertips of his right hand with the excess hot grease that coated the cheese. Pain ran through the pads of his fingertips. His mouth released a hiss and placed his pizza on a blanket of napkins. He placed his fingertips in his mouth. He sucked the grease into his mouth and managed to siphon the painful sensation out of his fingers. He pulled his fingertips out of his mouth and then grabbed more napkins. It was at this point that he noticed that the left leg of his Marc Jacobs jeans had a grease stain. He grabbed a few napkins and tried to clean the stain off. Still trying to clean off his pants, he asked "Who's the guy?" He doesn't realize that there was anger set in his voice. "Some guy..." Kendrick looked up to see who was speaking. He saw that it was Elena, Cody's girlfriend. Then, he noticed that Iggy was glaring at him. "... That she is talking to called..." Elena paused in her statement. She was trying to remember the name of Rain's date. A few more seconds passed before she remembered. "Evil... Kid? Oh, I know his name now. His name is Evel Knievel, like the stunt devil." Kendrick thought that his spirit had left his body. He felt his skin hum as adrenaline rushed through his 6'2 stature. 'That's not possible...' He glared at Delilah, Georgina, Joshua and Iris. They were laughing as if they were enjoying their own private joke. "What did you bitches do?" **** The clock on her cell phone read 7:39 PM. EvilKidKneeVeil57 was supposed to meet up with her at 7:00 PM. Her assigned server had approached the table twice. To keep him from having a fit, she ordered a drink. Her case of the jitters has gotten worse. She felt like she was going to vomit and faint. There was a thick amount of pressure resting in her stomach. Her throat felt constricted and she felt light-headed. To combat those sensations from getting worse, she took sips from her stout of Guinness. 'Okay Kid, where-in the-hell are you?' EvilKidKneeVeil57 Ch. 02 Author's Note: During this past weekend, I was sick and bedridden. With nothing else to do, I decided to revise this chapter of "EvilKidKneeVeil57". I did a few changes to the chapter. There are a few subtle changes. In regards to an 'Iggy' story: I am in the process of making up a storyline for this story. Right now, I am in the character development stage. I have the plot-line somewhat figured out. I am still in the process of making up antagonists/villains for this tale. And yes, it is going to be a story that I will post in the 'Interracial Love' section of Literotica. Hopefully, I will have everything in formation by the time summer rolls around. ************** "WHAT DID YOU BITCHES DO? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO HER? WHAT? WHAT IS IT?" Kendrick was now standing up. The chair that was he was sitting on was now fifteen feet away and lying on the floor. When Delilah, Georgina, Iris and Joshua refused to answer his question on the first time, he had become angry and tossed the chair. He was now enraged. His fair skin was a dark shade of pink. There was a snarl on his usual jovial face. He hurled his question at the four people who were sitting across from him. Georgina, Delilah and Joshua held salacious smiles on their faces. Iris, on the other hand, was so shocked from his outburst that her joy was frightened from her body. The mischievous glint was gone from her blue eyes. The healthy flush that was in her face has drained and now she was pale. Her lips formed a frown. Elena and Cody looked confuse about Kendrick's outburst while Iggy appeared to be amused. "We decided to have some fun," stated Georgina, coyly, before taking a bite out of her California roll. "We decided to knock that ghetto bitch down a few notches," Delilah attached to her friend's statement. Kendrick cut his eyes over to Iris, who looked like she was on the verge of crying. His glaring had an effect on her because she confessed. "We decided to prank Rain. We made up a fake profile on Yahoo! Messenger and pretended to be a guy from California, who's in the Navy— "What?" Kendrick murmured. "What... You had taken my..." There was a thick blanket of heat that covered him as his anger rose to an astronomical level. With the finesse of a charging lion, he strode over to the banquet table, but his journey was halted by Cody who stood in between the table and Kendrick. Cody grabbed his shoulders and stared at Kendrick in his eyes. With a hostile glow in his eyes, Kendrick stared at Cody. 'GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!' his mind screamed. "All right, buddy, you need to calm down now. Ken— "No— "Kendrick, man, you need to calm down," Cody said in a low tone, so only he and Kendrick could hear. "If you do something to any of them, I don't put it pass Georgina and Delilah calling the cops on you, man, especially Georgina. You need to calm down, buddy," instructed Cody. Cody's advice had managed to penetrate the dense fog of rage that clouded Kendrick's spirit. He acknowledged that Cody was right; if he does something to either of the four of them, he would get arrested. He knew that Georgina would absolutely love to see him in handcuffs. Kendrick nodded his head. He saw his friend smile. "Go outside and hang out on the porch, bro. You need some fresh air," suggested Cody. "Yeah, all right," Kendrick mumbles. The angry young man gave Cody a glimpse. Then he stared at Georgina and Delilah and he gave each woman a grimace. He made a few steps backwards and then turned away from his friend. For Cody, he believed that Kendrick was reluctant to leave the dining room. He watched Kendrick make an exit out of the room. Cody glared at his friend's retreating back as he walked out of the room. He continued to stare at the dining room's entrance for an additional minute before he turned away. "Un-fucking-believable," groaned Cody as he sits back down, once he was sure that Kendrick was gone. He felt pity for his best friend, but he really felt empathy towards Rain. He eyed at the four individuals who were sitting on the other side of the long, rectangle-shaped table. "So, you were the one who she was talking to..." Cody let out a gust of air out of his nose as he shook his head, as a sign of disgust. "... You guys are a real piece of work, do you know that?" Cody said to the four of them, before getting up and leaving the dining room. Elena stared at her boyfriend's retreating form. She let out her own sigh and her shoulders slumped as she was weighed down with sadness. She glanced over at the four individuals who were responsible. Elena had risen up from her chair. "I hope you guys have enjoyed yourselves. When Rain comes back, you know that she is going to be on a warpath, right?" Elena notified them. Delilah and Joshua looked amused by Elena's scolding. Georgina had an expression of annoyance on her face. Iris appeared to be the only person who understood the impending consequences. "Hey Lucky Charms, why don't you go and check up on your boyfriend? He's probably crying in the kitchen," Delilah stated. Joshua laughed at her remark. Elena gave her a scolding look for a moment. Then she left the dining room. Now there were five individuals sitting in the dining room. The room was quiet for a few minutes before Iggy made some noise. Iggy stood up from his chair and casually strolled over to other side of the room, to the fully-stocked bar. He fixed himself a drink. Delilah, Georgina, Joshua and Iris watched him. "So, what do you think, Iggy? Are you sitting on your high horse tonight and looking down on us too?" Delilah asked. Iggy leaned against the bar and gazed at Delilah. He sampled some of his bourbon from his glass. His bright green eyes seem to have sparkle with a glint. "Do I think you're evil? No, I don't. I know there a lot more people in this world who have done despicable things that are worst," he stated as he stirred the drink in his glass. "But, I will say that I don't understand why you would do such a thing, especially ever since you're staying in the same house with the person that you have pissed off. You four..." He pointed at the four of them. "... Was playing a very dangerous game by fucking and playing with someone's emotions and their mental state. I hope that you are ready for the consequences." ******* Mental images of EvilKidKneeVeil lying in the middle of an abandoned road with his body mangled, mutilated or burned beyond recognition filled Rain's mind as she patron the swanky restaurant. She was worried about her boyfriend. He didn't answer to any of the text messages that she's sent or responded to the voicemail messages that she had sent him. She was worried that he was hurt and was residing in a nearby hospital. She grabbed her cell phone off of the table. She dialed up his number. His phone made five rings before his automated voicemail service disconnected the call. After the automated voice ended with the greeting, there was a beep, which began the recording process. "Hey Kid, its Rain. I'm at the..." She paused in her speech to inhale and exhale. She resumed speaking. "... I'm at Elk, the place where we promised to meet up. Listen, I don't care..." Her voice began to waver, the tell-tale sign that her stoic resolve was cracking. "... About how late that you are right now. I would really like to hear your voice right now. Right now, I am worried about you and I don't know..." She had taken a swallow and two fat tears dripped down her cheeks simultaneously. "If you're hurt or not, but can you please give me a call back? Please?" She ended the call. With her trembling hand, she placed the phone back on the table. She wiped her cheeks dry by using the back of her hands. Once calmed and in order, Rain surveyed the dining area of the restaurant. She briefly glanced at the fellow guests. She concluded that majority of the diners were either married couples or people who were on dates. Each couple appeared to be in love. She managed to catch the eye of another woman. Her date/significant other had just left the table. She gave Rain a 'hang in there' expression of pity. Two hours, three stouts of Guinness and a barely eaten meal later, Rain wasn't worried anymore. EvilKidKneeVeil57 hasn't called her. He didn't even send her a text message. She checked the call log feature on her cell phone, so she could count how many times she called him. When she read that she called his telephone number thirty-eight times, suddenly she had gone from worried to now being irritated. "Here's your bill, ma'am," the server announced while handing the bill. "Thank you," Rain said to the waiter as she accepted the billfold. The waiter walked away from the table. She placed the billfold on the table. She picked her clutch purse and proceeded to search through the bag, for her wallet. "Excuse me, ma'am. I have a letter for you." Rain glanced up from her lap and saw another server standing in front of her. Her eyes drifted down to his hands. She saw that he held a red envelope. "Ma'am, I have this letter for you. It was dropped off, a few hours ago," the server informed her. Rain accepted the letter. She placed the envelope on the table. Then she thanked the waiter. She watched the server walk away from the table. Once he was out of her line of sight, she resumed looking for her wallet. She found her wallet and produced her American Express credit card. She inserted her card into the billfold. She searched out her assigned waiter and handed the billfold to the employee. Once she was alone, she grabbed the red envelope. She held the envelope in her hand for a moment. She wondered about the message that the crimson envelope held. She wondered if this was a 'Dear John' letter. The sense of dread caused her sense of hope and optimism to rot away, when she thought that EvilKidKneeVeil57 was dumping her, via handwritten note. Curiosity had gotten the best of her and she unwrap the envelope. There was a postcard inside. On one side of the card, there was a short message that was typed. Rain read the short message. 'Wait, what-the-fuck did I just read?' her mind uttered in disbelief. 'Wait— She blinked once and then she re-read the letter. As she read the words again, there was a shortness of breath; her heart felt like it sank down into her stomach and her eyes stung with tears. She wasn't sad. She was enraged. 'That fucking bitch!' **** Kendrick sat on the veranda that was a part of the second floor of the mansion. He was nursing on a bottle of Heineken. He was sitting outside for close to half an hour. The freezing winds that flown down from the mountains made Kendrick think twice about sitting outside. Frost was nipping at the bare flesh that was on his arms and on his exposed ribs, due to wearing a strategically torn-up shirt. Despite being exposed to the cold weather, he preferred to sit outside than to lounge inside of the warm house. He wanted to stay further away from Georgina, Delilah, Iris and Joshua as long as possible. He was enraged, once he learned about the digital identity theft that occurred. The feeling of rage was an emotion that he had never experienced before. It was such a strong and frightening experience. Being that hindsight was 20/20; Kendrick realized that he was so angry because he felt violated by them. They have invaded a small, but important, segment of his life and fucked with it, just because it was amusing for them. "How do you feel, man?" Kendrick glanced over at the screen door and saw Iggy standing in front of the doorway. Kendrick had taken a long drag off of his bottle of beer. He held the green-colored, glass bottle in front of his face. "I honestly feel like taking this bottle and cracking this motherfucker over their got-damned heads." "Mmm," Iggy hummed. He strolled over to the unoccupied chair that was next to Kendrick and sat. "I think they would enjoy that, especially Joshua." Kendrick let out a throaty laugh, which sounded like a growl. "Why in the fuck did we listen to Cody and invited those gutter-sluts?" inquired Kendrick. "Because of a few reasons," stated Iggy. "Number one reason, Cody is pussy-whipped. He invited his girlfriend, who didn't want to hang out with us fellas, especially with the Wild Boy. So he decided that she needed to have some pussy-bearing pals to keep her company, so he convinces us to invite Georgina, which brings me to reason number two. Number two, you knew that Georgina was not going to come on this trip without her flunkies and that brings us to the final reason. Reason number three, you knew that if Iris was going to come on the trip then she would've brought Rain on this trip as well. And I'm sure that you would've used this time to reveal your big secret to her and then use that king-sized bed of yours to unload— "I get it, man! I don't need for you to explain any further," Kendrick laughed. "Before all of this shit happened, I was expecting for you to confess to Rain, bro. I thought you were going to tell her that you are her digital buddy and for that bed of yours to be broken— "Oh God," Kendrick groaned, feeling a little bit mortified. "What?" Iggy said to him, sounding confused about his friend's reaction. "What, what, Iggy?" "I am referring to your reaction, man" Iggy explained. "Every time I mention you having sex with Rain, you start acting like you're a fucking virgin and shit!" "No, I'm not," stated Kendrick. "Yes, you are, dude!" Iggy chuckled. "So, how long as it been, Ken?" "I'm not telling you— "You see what I mean?" Iggy said to him. "There you go with that 'virgin bullshit'. How long have we been friends? Have I ever judged you? Or, have I ever made fun of you about anything?" "No," answered Kendrick. "So, how long has it been since you've gotten that wick of yours wet?" Kendrick let out a deep breath. He watched the expired oxygen condense and then disappear, before he answered his best friend's inquiry. "Close to six years— "WHAT?" Iggy said to him, feeling truly astonished. "Man, shut up— "I'm not judging you, bro. It's just..." Iggy shook his head. "...shocking for me. Six years," Iggy said as he settled back in his chair. His lips let out a whistle. A blanket of silence had fallen upon them and they enjoyed it. "I feel sorry for your nut-sack though— "Iggy, shut up." "I advise you to double-bag it, when you finally hit it though. I think one condom is not going to cut it. You're probably so back up that you might end up breaking through the plastic and impregnating her— "Ugh, don't you ever shut up?" Kendrick groaned. Iggy laughed. There was another moment of silence. "I wouldn't mind having babies with her," he confessed. "Oh my God, you're in love with her. Are you in love with Rain, man? You are, aren't you?" There was a five-second interlude of silence from Kendrick's behalf. "Yes, yes, I am." Iggy chuckled after hearing Kendrick's declaration. "Knowing you and your love-struck ass, you probably have gone ring shopping— Iggy noticed that Kendrick had a weird, but familiar expression of his face. "HOLY SHIT... Did you go ring shopping?" Iggy noticed Kendrick bite into his bottom lip and then glance away from him. Iggy thought his heart had skipped a beat from shock. "Did you buy her an engagement ring, man? "You wouldn't understand— Iggy shot out of his seat. "OH MY GOD, YOU DID BUY HER AN ENGAGEMENT RING! Have you lost--? Kendrick glared at his best friend. He believed that Iggy was behaving over-dramatic. "You don't understand, Iggy and you probably never will, man!" Kendrick groaned. Iggy glared at his friend and noticed how serious Kendrick was. He had known Kendrick since they were students in Kindergarten, so he knew his friend well enough. He knew that Kendrick must've thought long about his choice and he would need all of the support that he can receive. So, he was going to give Kendrick all of the spiritual support that he needed. Iggy sat back down in his chair. "Well, I hope that you're aware that you're going to have to work to get into her good graces." "Yeah, I know." The reverie between the two of them was suddenly disrupted by the sudden burst of abrasive sounds of car tires rubbing against asphalt. The sounds were near the house, so Iggy and Kendrick peered over the bannister of the veranda. A dark-colored, 1967 Camaro SS drove into the circular driveway that was in front of the house. The car had come to a sudden halt. The engine roared a ferocious cry for a few seconds before it was quieted down. A few seconds later, a woman exited the car. Iggy and Kendrick watched the curvaceous woman walk away from her vehicle and to the front door of the mansion. A few seconds later, there was the familiar loud noise of the front door slamming shut. "Oh damn," Iggy murmured. "Oh damn is right," Kendrick whispered. ********** "Dear Worthless Piece of Ghetto Poor Trash, If you haven't figured it out yet, EvilKidKneeVeil57 isn't coming. In fact, he doesn't exist. Delilah, Iris, Josh and I thought it would be hilarious to make up a fake profile of a guy and see how much we could get away with. I can't believe that you actually believe that a hot guy was attracted to you! Oh my God, LOL! Do you actually expect for a man to want you? Oh my God, you're so boring! All of your small talk about comic books, movies, about your stupid broken arm, your cats and about food is stupid. No man wants to know about that! You're ugly and the only way you can get a man is by sucking dick and you might not be good at that. You're a freak of nature! Me, Delilah, Josh and Iris have been laughing our asses off with your stupid messages. You're pathetic." Rain had memorized that letter verbatim. She recited the letter as she drove her car from the restaurant, back to the mansion. Her rage had consumed her as she drove. She welcomed the negative, violent-prone emotion. It was the most welcomed emotion than the sorrow that was hiding in the shadows. Rain was consumed with anger that she didn't notice Iggy and Kendrick standing on the stairs. She was focused on her main objective, which was finding Georgina and wringing her neck until her life faded. She kicked off her shoes, so they wouldn't get in her way. She stood in the foyer, barefoot. She listened for any sounds of life. She received her answer when she heard the loud, raucous laughter that came from the dining room. She made a few steps. "RAIN!" She glanced up at the staircase. Iggy and Kendrick were standing there and were staring at her, as if they were anticipating her next move. She gave them a stare that was startling and then she left the foyer, in a sprint. 'Oh shit,' Kendrick thought. A few seconds later, there was a loud scream that was from the dining room. "Awww shit!" he groaned. Iggy and he had run down the rest of the stairs, out of the foyer, down the corridor and into the dining room. Kendrick was greeted by chaos that unfolded like a flower in full bloom. They found Cody and Joshua restraining Rain down to the hardwood floor. She was writhing, struggling and screaming insults into the air. Kendrick looked for Georgina. He found her standing in a corner of the room. Her nose and mouth was bloodied. She held on her left wrist and was shouting her insults at Rain. Delilah and Iris were standing in front of her. Elena was kneeling beside Rain's head. She was trying to comfort her. "Go on and get your girl," Iggy suggested. "I'll deal with the Bitches of Eastwick." Kendrick ran up to Rain and company. He had shoo'ed Joshua away and quickly grabbed Rain's hands in a tight grip. "LET ME GO, YOU FUCKS!" Rain screamed at both Cody and Kendrick. Both Kendrick and Cody stared at each other with a look of surprise. Cody glanced down at Rain. EvilKidKneeVeil57 Ch. 02 "I would like to release you, love, but I'm sorry that I can't. I would like to live another day," joked Cody. In response, Rain screamed a profanity-laced rant at him. "We need to get her to her bedroom," Kendrick instructed. "All right, on the count of three, we'll lift her up," Cody suggested. Both men made sure that they had a great grip on her curvy form. "One. Two. Three," Cody chanted, before they lifted her up. Both men carried her out of the dining room, away from the chaos. Elena followed the trio. With a struggling and screaming Rain in their arms, Cody and Kendrick carried her to her bedroom. Kendrick instructed Elena to take the skeleton key out of the keyhole that was on the interior side of the bedroom door. Kendrick and Cody deposited Rain onto her mattress. Cody held onto her ankles while Kendrick held onto her wrists. "Elena, wait outside for us," Cody instructed. She nodded her head and walked out of the bedroom. Cody looked at his friend. "All right, just like before, on the count of three." Kendrick nodded his head. "All right, on the count of three, we'll let her go." "All right, here we go," Cody started out. "One, two— Both Cody and Kendrick let go of her limbs. Both men ran out of the bedroom, before Rain could even grasp what had just happened. Kendrick closed the door behind him. Cody snatched the skeleton key out of his girlfriend's hands and handed the key to his friend. Kendrick placed the key into the hole and quickly locked the door. A second later, the door was shaken in its frame. The action had made Kendrick and Cody flinch. "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Rain roared at the door. Then there was a barrage of pounds against the door. "CODY! LET ME OUT OF HERE!" "Let's go downstairs, bro and survey the damage. She needs to cool down a bit," Cody suggested. He grabbed his girlfriend's hand and guided her to the staircase. Kendrick stared at the door once more and listened to Rain's protests. 'Yeah, I definitely have a fight on my hands,' was the statement that entered his mind as he stared at the door. He watched Rain caused the door tremble in the frame. He remembered feeling the anger that radiated off of her body. An icy, cold foreign energy poured down Kendrick's spine and it caused him to shiver. Rain knew that they were standing on the other side of the door. She could hear them talking to each other. She tried to open the door again, but just like the first time, the door wouldn't open. "LET ME OUT OF HERE!" she screamed at the thick, solid oak door. She kicked the door with her right bare foot. "CODY!" She kicked the door again. But, unlike the first act, she ended up injuring her toes during the second act. "Ow" she groaned, before stepping away from the door and sitting on the floor. She cradled her injured appendage in her hands. As her fingers massaged away the pain in her toes, her rage dissipated and her sorrow was gradually revealed. With a shrill that sliced through the air, she gave into her sorrow. **** "I really fucking hope that you're fucking enjoying yourself!" Kendrick stated, as he paced back and forth in the dining room. "Oh boo-fucking-hoo," Georgina muttered as she wiped blood from her nostrils and stared at her reflection from a compact mirror. "You should be upset that your sister was just attacked!" Kendrick glimpsed at his sister. "Do me a favor, Georgina, by shutting the fuck up!" An half of an hour has passed; Kendrick, Iggy, Georgina, Joshua, Delilah and Cody were in the dining room. Elena and Iris had gone upstairs to the second level of the mansion, to Rain's bedroom, to see how she was doing. Kendrick paced while his friends and his sister sat at the dining table. "Your sister and us had done you a favor. You should be thanking us," Joshua advised Kendrick. The pacing form had come to a halt. Kendrick glared at the young man who sat a few feet away from him. Joshua was another one Georgina's flunkies that hung around his sister in hopes of getting a taste of a rich person's lifestyle. Kendrick did not like him at all. Joshua was too much of a 'bottom-feeder' and too rude for his liking, especially now. Kendrick glared at this small, juvenile-looking man who was wearing an outfit that was not appropriate for a skiing trip: a pair of high-waist women's trousers, a pair of black boots with a kitten heel and a gaudy silk blouse. He was haphazardly waving a paper fan. "You really avoided the bullet by not dating that one. She... Aaah!" "Kendrick!" Cody shouted as he slipped out of his chair. Joshua let out a squeal as his body was violently lifted out of his chair. Kendrick grabbed the smaller man by the collar of his plum-colored, extravagant blouse and lifted him, as if he weighed less than a feather. Kendrick entered Joshua's personal space. "Listen, you little shit, if you open your mouth one more time, I will shove that got-damned fan down your throat! Do you understand me?" Kendrick growled. Joshua, feeling petrified, nodded his head frantically. "I don't want any one of you freeloading fucks here, so my advice to you is shut the fuck up and be grateful— "Don't talk to my guests like that," demanded Georgina. "This is our house and they have every right to be— "Wrong, this is my house!" screamed Kendrick. He tossed the smaller man towards the chair that he was previously sitting in. "... In case you have forgotten, big sister let me remind you: this house belongs to me! This house was a gift from our parents, to me, for not following in your footsteps and being a fucked up!" Georgina fumed. "How can I forget? You're the golden child, according to Mama and Daddy! You've never done anything wrong! You're the smart one who graduated earlier! You're the one who did the charity work in the Philippines and in Africa! You're the good child! They always gave you everything— Kendrick walked over to the edge of the dining table. He glowered at his sister. "Leave your 'I'm a slighted child' bullshit of an excuse at home, Georgina! Your problem is that you're a lazy bitch! You prefer to have someone take care of you rather than to take care of your-damn-self! As soon as I was able to live on my own, I was out of mom and dad's house! I have done something that I was supposed to do because I am a fucking adult! So, they decided to give me stuff in return. I didn't want their money! I knew that I could make a living by owning property, so I asked for property! This house is in my name! As well as the Brooklyn townhouse, the condo in Manhattan and the co-op apartment in Queens! All of those properties belong to me, including the apartment that you're living in now! Or should I say, was living in," he said cruelly. He watched Georgina's eyes widen and her jaw grown slack from shock. "You... You can't be serious?" she said to him. She glanced over at Delilah and Joshua who also appeared to be shock from hearing the news. Joshua and Delilah were dismayed, due to the fact that they are also living in the same townhouse. Unbeknownst to them, Kendrick was the owner of the property, a bit of information that Georgina has omitted from them. Kendrick gave her a snarl and sat in a chair. "I am as serious as a heart attack. What did you expect, Georgina, to happen after this night? You thought that everything was going to be okay between you and me?" "I am your sister— "Funny, you could've fooled me," Kendrick said with a smirk on his face. Georgina stood up from her chair and walked over to the other side of the table. She stood next to her brother and then kneeled to the floor, beside his chair. She grasped onto his hand. Kendrick pulled his hand from out of her grasp. "Ken— "Save the crocodile tears for somebody else, Georgina. After we leave here, you need to pack up your shit once we arrive home. You're getting the hell up out of my home. You have better luck asking mom and dad for a place to stay. Or better yet, ask one of your dear ole' friends for help." He watched Georgina's face change from being in despair to growing into distain. "Fine," she sniped at him, with a snarl on her lips. She stood up to her feet and walked away from her brother. She proceeded to walk out of the room, when Joshua was about to follow her. "LEAVE ME ALONE!" she screamed. Kendrick let out a sigh and then placed his face inside of his right hand. He groaned. "Here's a suggestion," Iggy introduced. He stood up from his seat and walked to the center of the room. "I have a friend who runs the marketing for the Glace club. We managed to bump into each other today. She said that we should visit the club tonight and she will hook us up with the VIP. I think we should go. It would be a great way to cap off tonight... festivities." "I think that would be an excellent idea," Delilah commented. "I think it would be a great idea to get out and have some fun," Cody agreed. "So, are you going out tonight?" he asked Kendrick. "No, I am going to stay here tonight, bro," answered Kendrick. "I don't know why you even bothered to ask him about whether he was going. You know who is going to be here while we're gone," stated Iggy with a sly smile. Despite recently having an argument with his sister and feeling enraged, he found some joy from Iggy's statement. Kendrick let out a smile. He ran his right hand through his short brown hair. "No, it is not because of her. I am staying home because I am tired. I am stressed. I don't want to be around my cunt of a sister and my arm is hurting like a motherfucker," he informed Iggy. Kendrick stared down at the white, plastered cast that was wrapped around the left forearm. **** Rain's body felt like she had just finished running the Boston Marathon. Her lungs burned as a plea to properly obtain some oxygen. Her heart was beating rapidly. Her pulse was racing. There were copious amounts of adrenaline and endorphins surging through her body. She was walked briskly around her assigned bedroom, searching for any of her belongings. Whatever item she found, she tossed onto her bed. Rain was packing her items into her two suitcases. She wasn't neat and organized. She wanted to leave this mansion as quickly as possible. She was deeply focused in her process of packing that she didn't hear Iris and Elena enter the bedroom. "Rain, what you are doing?" inquired Iris, with confusion, surprise and disbelief evident in her voice. She didn't receive an answer to her question, instead she heard a whimper. Suddenly, Rain came to a halt. She was standing at the side of the bed, in front of an opened suitcase and with her back facing the women. Her mind replayed the night she "met" EvilKidKneeVeil57, some snippets of their good times, snippets of the romantic fantasies that she formed and her thoughts led her to the event of embarrassment that she felt. The fragile restraint that she quickly developed after her first emotional outburst faltered. She began to cry. Elena saw when Rain's shoulders slumped forward, her head bow and then when her body trembled. The audible cries soon followed. At the first note of her cries, Elena felt immense sadness. She had the experience of having her heart broke by a lover, so she knew how Rain felt. Seeing Rain upset and fragile, made her felt some of those physical manifestations again. She felt like her heart sank into the pit of her stomach. Elena walked over to Rain and pulled the woman into her arms for a loving embrace. She felt Rain's larger form alter from being rigid and tense to loose, as soon as Elena's embrace tightened. With tears forming in her own eyes, Elena consoled Rain. "It's okay Rain. Let it out honey. It's going to be okay sweetie..." "We're..." Iggy started out saying as he strolled into Rain's bedroom. Once he caught on that he walked into a tense, emotional moment, he paused in his speech. He took note of the disorganized bedroom: the floor was littered with clothes and luggage, the mattress was covered with clothes. His eyes scanned over to Iris who stood next to him, by the doorway. Then he stared at the two women who were in an embrace. Elena held Rain in a hug while rubbing her back and whispering into her head. Rain's head was resting on Elena's shoulder. He heard the cries and sobs leave out of her. There was a twinge of guilt and sadness pinching at him. He quickly ignored the feelings. He let out a cough. "We're going out to Glace tonight. If you want to go, I suggest that you get ready now." "Okay, Iggy," Iris said to him, softly and morosely. Iggy gave Elena and Rain a parting glance before leaving the bedroom. Iris stood by the door for a moment before she walked up to the two women. She stood behind Rain's trembling form and placed a hand on her shoulder, as an act of affection. "Rain, I'm sorry if we hurt your feelings. We thought that it was going to be funny and thought— "My broken arm," murmured Rain into Elena's shoulder. The statement was spoken in a soft tone of voice. Her voice was raw with the emotion of hurt. Rain lifted her head off of Elena's shoulder. She let out a shaky breath and a sniff. She took a step away from the woman. She turned to face Iris. "In that letter, the one..." Rain wiped away her tears. Then, she sniffed again and wiped at her nose. Her slightly red, puffy eyes stared intently at Iris. "... that I thought Georgina wrote, she mentioned something about my broken arm. Georgina never knew about my broken arm. It happened when I was four years old and I met Georgina when I was eight. I know for a fact that Delilah and Joshua wouldn't know about my arm and I've never mentioned to EvilKidKneeVeil about my broken arm..." Rain had taken a step away from Elena, which happened to be one step closer to Iris. "...It was you who wrote that letter, didn't you?" Rain stared into the face of the ruby-haired beauty. She detected the flush in the woman's face and elegant, long neck. Her dark blue eyes were wide with shock. Rain could see her fear and feel it radiating off of her. "Yes, but like I said before, we thought that it would be funny— "FOR WHO?" roared Rain, who was now glaring at Iris, with her dark brown eyes wide and full of ferocity, and her nostrils flaring. Both Elena and Iris flinched at the sudden outburst. She was enraged. "DO I LOOK LIKE I FIND THIS SHIT FUNNY?" "No, but— Elena touched Rain's shoulder. "Rain, honey— Rain jerked her shoulder out of Elena's clutch. "WHY IRIS? WHY DID YOU DO SOMETHING SO GOT-DAMNED MEAN— "Rain, it was meant to be a joke— "YOU CREATED A FAKE PROFILE OF A MAN AND I ENDED UP FALLING IN LOVE WITH HIM! WHAT KIND OF FUCKING JOKE IS THAT?" Rain shouted as she stood in front of Iris. The petite woman was so afraid that she was afraid to breathe properly. Iris was breathing in the form of choppy pants. "Rain?" said Elena, with her voice saturated with concern. "Georgina and Delilah— "OH SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT THOSE BITCHES! YOU'RE LIKE THEIR PERSONAL LAPDOG! WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO FETCH, YOU DO IT WITHOUT A PROBLEM! YOU'RE FUCKING PATHETIC!" There was a few seconds of silence between the two of them. "Oh, like you're special, huh?" Iris said to her, with a sudden burst of feistiness. Rain glared at Iris. She stared at her blue eyes and saw the fear shining fiercely in them. A small smile appeared on Rain's lips as she acknowledged this outburst was Iris' false sense of bravado. She knew that if push comes to shove, Iris wouldn't even throw a punch at her. She knew that this waif of a girl would cower in a corner. "You're nothing! You're a bum! You are nothing but a grease-monkey bum! The only reason why you even have money is because your dad left you an inheritance after he died and your mom was one of those World Trade Center people— Rain suddenly invaded Iris' personal space. With the tips of their noses occasionally touching, Rain spoke. "Don't you ever say anything about my parents again or I swear to God that I will punch you dead right in your mouth. Do you understand me?" Rain instructed, with her voice soft and calm. Iris' cowardliness came to the forefront. She shook her head and murmured an 'okay'. Rain took a step back and stared at the woman. "Let me tell you something about your owners, you fucking lackey! I think you need to know this shit!" Rain strolled over to the edge of the king-sized sleigh bed and she sat down on the mattress. She glared at her Iris. "Georgina doesn't have a pot to piss in or the window to throw it out of..." she informed Iris. "... Mr. and Mrs. Moppet were so tired of her constant fuckups that she was disinherited and her parents financially cut her off. Right now, the townhouse that she is living in belongs to her brother. And the money that she have all of the time; the money that you, Delilah and Joshua have no problem spending? It's an allowance that she is set up with by her grandmother. As for her pet monkey Delilah, she's a free-loader just like you. All she is looking for is a wealthy, sugar daddy to take care of her for the rest of her got-damned life. And for her, it doesn't matter if the man is married or not! For years, she's been trying to throw her wretched pussy off to any man that has a pulse and an AMEX card: Iggy, Cody, Wild Boy..." Rain gazed at Iris, to see her reaction. Iris' eyes were wide and her mouth formed an 'o' at hearing the news. "...several boys at our school, some faculty members, Mr. Moppet. Trust me, I know all about her! I can't blame her because she has gotten it honestly. I heard her mama is a hoe as well. My advice to you, Iris: Get a life and follow your own path because our high school years are over! They have been over for the past five years!" Rain had taken a deep breath. She rose from the bed and turned her back to Iris. She walked over to her suitcase and then proceeded to pack again. "You can get the fuck out of my room now," she said, without glancing over her shoulder. A few seconds later, Rain heard Iris trot out of her bedroom and more likely, out of her life. Both Elena and Rain listened to Iris' footsteps as she ran out of the bedroom and then as she ran down the corridor. Then they were greeted with the sound of a door slamming. "Rain, will you be all right, love?" asked Elena, after a moment of silence. "I could stay with you for a while as you pack." "No, it's all right. I will be fine, Elena. I know that I will be fine because I have no choice," she somberly giggled. "I managed to survive both of my parents' deaths, as well as, my grandparents' deaths, so this should be a breeze to get by," Rain informed her. There was a mirthless laugh. Rain continued to fold up her shirts and blouses. "Are you sure that you want me to go?" inquired Elena. "No, you can go, Elena. I will be all right," she informed the Irish beauty. "Are you--?" "Yes," Rain stated. She stopped packing so she could stare at Elena. "I will be all right. I am going to be fine. Now, go ahead and get ready for your night out." "Okay," murmured Elena. The smaller woman silently requested for a hug from Rain. The taller woman complied with the request and gave her a hug. "Oh, I am so sorry, Rain. I am so, so, so, so sorry, honey." "Thank you," Rain whimpered into Elena's ear. "I wish you a safe travel," commented Elena. "Thank you." The two women parted from each other. Elena saw Rain's tear soaked face and she wanted to break down into a blubbering mess too. She watched Rain wipe her face with her hands. Then she threw Elena a broad, toothy grin. "Now, I am feeling better," announced Rain. "So, how do I look?" Elena stared at Rain's face. Despite having the skin tone that is similar to a walnut shell, Elena saw the burgundy-colored flush that was splattered on her face. The dark, sensual-looking eye make-up was now ruined. The dark, onyx-hued coloring was smeared around her eyelids and cheeks. The lip gloss that was coating her wide, fat lips was now smearing her chin and the cleft that was above her top lip. The set of false eyelashes that she was wearing was the only feature that was intact. EvilKidKneeVeil57 Ch. 02 "You look beautiful, Rain" answered Elena. Rain giggled. "You're a shitty liar, Elena." The two young women laughed. "I'm sure that me and a raccoon could share make-up tips," countered Rain. The laughter died down and the room was filled with tension and silence. "I am going to head off," Elena said to her as she pointed to the bedroom's doorway with her right thumb. "Once again, I wish you a safe travel as you drive back home." Rain gave the woman a grin and then a head nod. "Thank you, Elena." Elena walked away from her position and she walked towards the doorway. Before she could walk through the threshold, she came to a halt. She turned around and stared at Rain. She noticed that Rain had gone back to the process of packing. Elena stared at Rain. While she viewed the heart-broken and forlorn woman, Elena marveled at the strength that emitting off of the woman. She believed Rain, when she proclaimed that she was going to be all right. It was here, at the mansion, where she met Rain Hadley for the first time. Based off viewing the woman's body language, she knew that Rain was a self-assured woman yet she possessed insecurities. After having one conversation with her, Elena thought Rain was an awesome woman who possessed the maturity and wisdom similar to an older woman, a cool older woman. Elena enjoyed being in the same company of Rain. She preferred her company than hanging out with Georgina and her company. She was going to miss having the auto-body mechanic around. 'I'm not going out tonight. I am going to be here so I could send her off properly,' Elena concluded. She had taken a few steps in the direction of where Rain stood. Then she bent at her waist, so she could reach for a few items that were on the floor. She gathered items off of the floor, brought them over to the mattress and proceeded to fold them. Kendrick was still in the dining room, when he heard Rain screaming. He leapt from out of his chair, ran out of the dining room and into the corridor. He ran into the foyer and climb up the staircase in marvelous speed. He made it into the second-level corridor before he had come to a halt. He saw that his friends were standing in the same corridor and were eavesdropping. He listened to the argument as well. He listened to his Rain stand up for herself and give Iris a piece of her mind. When he heard her declaration of love for him, a smile formed and his heart pound rapidly. As she informed Iris about her friends' indiscretions, his eyes glanced at the subjects. His sister fumed and stood there with her arms folded across her chest. Delilah appeared cocky and arrogant at first, but when Rain mentioned the list of her failed attempts of seduction, her face blanched. Then, once Mr. Moppet's name was spoken, a look of embarrassment and mortification arose. She slowly backed into her bedroom and gently closed the door. Then he listened to the sage advice that she had given to the naïve follower. By then, the mob in the hallway had dispersed and left Kendrick in the hallway by his lonesome. Kendrick walked towards the end of the hallway, in the direction of Rain's bedroom. He was a few inches away from the doorway, when Iris bumped into him. She glanced up at his face. He saw that her face was dewy with tears. "Excuse me," she whimpered. She shifted out of his personal space and proceeded to go to her room. Kendrick stared at Iris' retreating form as she traveled down the corridor. He shook his head with pity. He was aware of the school-age crush that she harbored for him. When he was younger, he thought her crush was flattering. He was sure that he would've made a play for her, if he thought that she was attractive. He thought she wasn't ugly, she was cute, but she wasn't his type. For one, he loved a 'lone wolf-take charge-alpha' type of woman. Iris wasn't one of those women. Then there's the fact that he loved a woman whose body held curves, felt soft and she was thick. He knew a woman that fitted the bill and right now he was standing in the doorway of her bedroom. Kendrick stood in the doorway of Rain's bedroom. He was not pleased at seeing Rain packing up her belongings and preparing to leave the mansion. He was gazing at her. He watched her as she packed her belongings into two suitcases while she chatted with Elena. Her back was facing him. He used this time to observe her curvy frame for the first time, ever since it was hectic earlier. He thought that she possessed the perfect 'hourglass' shape. The concept of having her body positioned at the edge of her bed, legs opened and her body writhing in ecstasy as he plowed his cock into her, flooded his mind's eye. He felt his member stir awake in his sweatpants. He adjusted himself. Elena glanced over at him. He watched Rain turn around to see the person who was standing in the doorway. Her dark brown, almond-shaped eyes had become smaller in size as she glared at him with animosity. 'Shit,' his mind muttered. "Wild Boy..." His eyes darted over to Elena. "... How are you feeling tonight, dear? How is your arm feeling?" "It's feeling all right," Kendrick reported. He glanced at Rain. "How are you feeling?" "Peachy," Rain spoke through clenched teeth, as she turned back around. She grabbed a few items off of the bed. She gave Elena a glimpse and then she walked away from the woman. She ended up entering the bathroom that was a part of the suite. She slammed the door shut. Both individuals flinched at the harsh sound of the door slamming. "Are you going out with the gang tonight?" asked Kendrick while staring at the bathroom's door. "No," she answered in a whisper. Elena faced him. "I don't want to leave her alone. I don't want her to think that no one here likes her." 'No,' his mind growled. 'I have to be alone with her tonight.' Kendrick sighed. "Elena, go out tonight— "But— "I need for you to go out tonight. I want to talk to Rain and I need some privacy. I don't need for any distractions to be around," he explained. He could tell that Elena was apprehensive at leaving her newfound friend. "I'm not going to hurt her, I promise. Elena, for as long as you've known me, when have I ever intentionally hurt someone?" "Never," Elena answered, "Now if you would've asked me about you hurting yourself, then that's a different answer." Kendrick laughed. "You would be right about that one." Elena eyed Kendrick for a few seconds. She was trying to decipher if it was a good idea to leave Rain alone with the brother of the person who humiliated her. Kendrick stared at her with a look of plea in his blue eyes. 'Shit, if he hurts her, I will cut out his intestines and make them into a pair of garters.' Elena sighed from resignation. "Let me go and get ready for tonight," she said to him while conceding to his demand. She walked over to the bathroom. She knocked on the large, intricate wooden bathroom door. The door opened a few seconds later. Rain stood in the threshold. Kendrick noticed that she was wearing another outfit: a pair of ill-fitting, masculine, dark-colored jeans and a strapless bra. Her long, pretty coiffed hair was now captured in a ponytail. The seductive makeup that she wore was now gone and she was bare face, the desired preference for Kendrick. His prick had become fully aroused at the sight of her almost-bare upper body. His eyes ogled her muscled stomach, small defined waist and her large, lace encased bust. "I'm going to get ready for my night out. I know that there's a chance that you won't be here by the time we return, so I want to wish you a safe travel home..." The two women embraced. "... and please call me when you get back to New York? I am going to be worried sick if you don't." "I promise that I will call you," Rain said to her. The women parted and Elena gave her a wave, before departing the bedroom. She gave Kendrick a pat on the shoulder, on her way out. His eyes met Rain's as she stood in the bathroom's doorway. "Can you please leave?" she asked him. She looked perturbed, according to Kendrick. He doesn't find fault with her. He understood. She was feeling angry, due to having her vulnerability exposed and denigrated by some unscrupulous individuals. He thought that she would also have distrust for everybody that is staying in the mansion. "Sorry," he muttered. He walked out of the bedroom and closed the door behind him as he left. He leaned up against the solid wood. He left out a sigh and slipped his hands inside of his pants' pockets. He was anxious and excited to tell Rain the news that he was the one. 'How in the hell am I going to tell her that EvilKidKneeVeil57 is me? She believes that she was speaking to Georgina. I don't know if I should tell her now. She'll probably think that I am a part of the prank as well... No, I need to tell her. It's been six years. It's been too fucking long. How...' The fingertips on his left hand had struck a hard, plastic inside of his pocket. An idea was created inside of him. "Oh..." Rain tried her best to not think about the incidents that has transpired tonight. She tried hard to not think about how the past six years were a part of a mean-spirited joke. She didn't want to acknowledge the pain that Georgina, Iris and Delilah had inflicted on her. Also, she didn't want to accept that she is vulnerable and was a fool. After getting dress, Rain stared at her reflection. It was a few hours ago, when she felt wonderful. She felt blessed to have found a wonderful man off of a social place where the majority of the men are snakes, liars and cheaters. A few hours ago, she felt like she was standing on the shoulders of a giant. Now, as she stared at her reflection, she could only see the sadness and stress in her face. "Gosh, I look terrible," she muttered to the mirror. A Mozart's "Piano Sonata No. 11" inspired ringtone had filtered the bathroom. Rain looked away from the mirror and to the Samsung cell phone that rested on the sink's countertop, in amazement. 'What in the...?' To makes sure that her mind was not playing tricks on her and she wasn't having a stress-induced hallucination, Rain picked up her phone and checked the Caller ID. The name "Evil Kid" appeared on the screen and Rain thought her heart stopped for a few seconds. The Mozart piece was a ringtone that she assigned to EvilKidKneeVeil57, so whenever he called, the music played. "You have a lot of fucking nerve— "Hello, Tomboy Cutie," said a familiar masculine, baritone voice. Rain's voice died down, when she heard the low-pitched tone oozing out of the receiver. A loud gasp left her mouth and the noise had gone into the phone. It was the same voice that spoken to her, daily, for the past six years. Every time she had listened to his voice, mental images of a thunder erupting and lightning bursting through clouds floated into her brain. Or even the scent of chunks of dark chocolate goes through her head, whenever she hears his voice. The voice belonged to a man that she considered being her "identity less, friend-turned-boyfriend". It was the voice that lulled her to sleep on numerous nights, when she was unable to sleep. This was the man who would use his sensual voice to help coax out orgasms, on many late nights. This man and his compliments, as well as, with his words of encouragement provided a beacon of hope for her. He was the person who held her attention by telling her intriguing tales that were humorous, sad but contained hope, or stories that were suspenseful. The voice belonged to the man who she was in love with and was a man that just so happened to not exist. The revelation that this great man didn't exist had struck her as she stood there. An unintentional sob escaped her mouth along with a few spurts of trembling breaths, before she spoken. "Please," her voice creaked. "Please, don't call me anymore. Georgina and Delilah told me about everything, so you can..." Another sad whimper fell through the cracks and then another, before she started to speak again. "Just please stop calling me." "Rain, baby.... I need for you to listen to me..." Rain took note that Evil Kid's voice was trembling as well. "... Please, just let me explain my side of the story. Can you please allow me to explain?" she heard the person ask. Rain contemplated for a moment. She was confused. She didn't know whether or not should she listen to this stranger's story. A part of her wanted to hear this tale, in hope that this person was going to tell a tale that made him appear to be a redeeming character. The other part of her wanted to hang the phone up, because she felt that whatever he was trying to sell her, she was definitely going to buy it. She knew that she was at a point of weakness, where she wanted the love that she thought she had was real. And she was willing to settle for just a smidgeon of it. She felt disgusted at that knowledge. "H-hello?" the person on the other end of the phone asked. "Yes," she sighed. The level of disgust increased ten-fold. 'God help me.' She heard the mysterious person take a deep breath before talking. "The person that you started talking to, six years ago, was me. I was the one who initiated the contact on Yahoo Messenger, not Georgina or Delilah. I was interested in you, Rain, and once I found out that you had a Yahoo account, I took the initiative. Georgina and Delilah did not know about our conversations until about a week ago. I didn't see the harm of them knowing that I was talking to you. I thought nothing of it. Baby, the shit that happened to you tonight, I had nothing to do with that." Then, the mysterious man had gone silent. Rain figured that he was giving her time to digest the information. Before he could finish his story, her mind was already made up about this guy. The disgust that she felt about herself was still there. It has grown to new heights to the point where she thought that she might turn physically ill. With a shaky voice, she said "I... I believe you." She heard the stranger sigh. "Can you please come out of the bathroom and tell me to my face?" 'What?' her mind questioned. "What did you say?" "Can you come out of the bathroom?" "Why?" she asked. 'You sound absolutely stupid,' her conscience commented. "Cause I want to talk to you, face-to-face." Rain felt like she experienced one of those "out of body" occurrences. 'Face to face; so he's here?' She felt a conglomerate of emotions. She was anxious, tired, stressed, curious and angry. She walked over to the bathroom's door and held onto the knob. She inhaled a gust of oxygen. 'Calm down,' she admonished herself. 'Calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down, calm down...' she repeated inside of her mind, like it was a mantra. As she silently chanted, her spirit was lulled into a state of even-temperament. She twisted the knob and then pulled the door opened. 'What in the hell...?' Rain was greeted by a familiar face. "W-Wild Boy?" she said quizzically as her brow line crinkled. He was standing a few inches away from the doorway. His slightly tanned, muscled arms were positioned high above his head and were resting on the posts of the doorway. In his right hand, there was a cell phone. She was closed enough to smell his body odor of deodorant, cologne and the strong smell of pine. She gazed into his dark blue eyes and found that he was intensely staring down at her. "Wild... Boy?" she whispered. Her brow wrinkled as she stared at him. She was surprised to see him. "How?" she asked as she gently shook her head. He let out a chuckle while there was small smile gracing his full, pink lips. "Do you want me to explain?" Rain nodded her hand. "Yes please," she said softly, almost like a whisper. She felt his right hand grasp onto her left one. He gave a gentle tug, a wordless request asking for her to follow him. Rain complied with his request. She left the bathroom and was led into the bedroom. Wild Boy led her to the king sized, wooden sleigh bed and instructed her to sit at the edge. Once again, she complied with his instruction. She gazed up at him as he stood in front of her. There was a twenty-eight second moment of silence between them. "Can you please tell me what is going on?" She watched Wild Boy's face turn a crimson shade. He folded his arms across his broad chest. He walked a few feet away and came right back to his original spot. Rain figured out that he was nervous about something. He sucked his bottom lip into his mouth. Rain noticed that it made the dimples in his cheeks more pronounced. He let out a sigh. "For the longest time..." he started out with. His face grew a deeper shade of red. "For the longest time, I've liked you, Rain..." She was surprised by that revelation. When they were younger, she considered Wild Boy to be a baby brother, despite the fact that they are the same age. When Georgina and she were great friends to each other, Wild Boy hung out with them frequently. She never understood why he was so willing to hang out with them, with a bunch of girls. Now, after hearing his confession, she understood. "...I mean that I had a crush on you since I was a kid, back when you and Georgina were friends. I didn't say anything because I knew that you didn't like me..." Even though his tone of voice was neutral when he made the statement, Rain could see the slight disappointment flicker in his eyes. She felt a twinge of guilt in knowing that he was right. "Remember in our Social Media class, back during our junior year, Mrs. Harper had given us an assignment and we needed to give our email addresses. Do you remember that?" "Yeah, I remember," said Rain as she nodded her head. "I remember hearing you say that your email address account is from Yahoo. I had a Yahoo account as well and I know that with every account, the member has access to their instant messenger service. So I did a little research and I found your profile page. By then, you and Georgina had your falling out and weren't friends anymore. And due to y'all being women and having your codes and ethics, I couldn't be friends with you too, cause she is my sister and everything." Rain rolled her eyes at the 'women-codes and ethics' statement. She would've found it to be annoying, misogynistic drivel if she didn't find it to be funny. "I thought that maybe I could have a way in, if I were to speak to you through the internet, but I didn't want to use my own account. So, I made another email account and another profile. I found a picture of another dude from MySpace— "You had taken a picture of 6'3 black man and pretended to be a naval officer and lives in San Francisco— "I needed an identity in which you wouldn't figure me out," explained Wild Boy. "Rain, baby, with every conversation that happened between you and me, it was between you and me. There was no one else. For every phone conversation— "Speaking of which, our phone calls... Your voice sounded different. On the phone, you're Barry White and now you're... you." Wild Boy laughed. It sounded like rough growl because it was soaked with a bass tone. Hearing his laughter caused the hairs on her arms to stand and a cold shiver to drip down her back. "I can change my voice," he explained. To further prove that he was EvilKidKneeVeil57, Kendrick decided to speak his next statement in his 'telephone voice'. "It's an easy party trick that I used from time to time." "Oh," she said with her eyes wide, a subtle flinch and with amusement at the sudden change in pitch. Both of them laughed at her reaction. "So, is there anything else that I need to know?" "That's it; the rest of the stuff that I told you was things that actually happened to me." Kendrick noticed an expression of subdued on her face. There was a glow in her dark brown eyes. He couldn't decipher how she was feeling. "Rain, tell me what's— EvilKidKneeVeil57 Ch. 02 "How does Georgina fit into all of this?" "A week ago, she and Delilah had come into my office, uninvited by the way, while I was chatting online with you. She decided to be nosy and started to check out my computer and she saw your profile pic. I didn't think much of it. After all, we aren't in high school anymore and whatever beef that occurred between the two of you were settled. Then, the shit that happened tonight— There was a series of knocks on the door that led to the corridor. Wild Boy excused himself from the conversation to go answer the call. He opened the door to find Cody and Iggy. Each man was stylishly dressed. Both men were peering over Wild Boy's shoulder. They were surveying the bedroom. "What are you two doing?" he asked. "We're about to go," Cody announced. "Just checking to see how you guys are doing. Just making sure that you're not dead," Iggy stated, nonchalantly. Wild Boy scoffed and then slammed the door shut. "That was rude," was heard from the other side of the door. Wild Boy turned around to find Rain sliding on her black, thick Parka coat. He began to feel disappointed. "You're still leaving?" Rain glanced at him. She nodded. "Yes," she said as she zipped up her coat. She turned her back to him. She fastened the openings on her suitcases. "Rain, why don't you stay?" "It has nothing to do with you, Wild Boy. I believe you, in fact. I'm leaving because if I had to look at Georgina's fucking face any longer, I might try out my best Hannibal Lecter impersonation and try to rip her face off. So, in order to not ruin everybody's time by having them all being interrogated at a police station, I'm leaving." "You don't have to hang out with Georgina. We can do our own thing, baby. Plus, this house is big enough— "I know that it is, Wild— "Call me Kendrick. For some strange reason, I hate hearing you call me that." "Okay, Kendrick, I am going home. This house, as big and beautiful as it is, I am still going home tonight." Rain placed her two suitcases onto the floor. She walked over to Kendrick. She gazed into his eyes. Then she stared at his face: the thick mop of curly brown hair that was styled in a garish hairdo, his broad forehead with his thick eyebrows, down to refined bridge of his nose and to the pointed tip, his pair of less pronounced cheekbones, the strong jawline that was decorated with dark facial hair and his lips that were showcased by his 'handle bar' mustache and goatee. Without giving any sign of impending action, Rain made a clasp on his chin and gave him a kiss. It was subtle kiss. His lips were soft and warm. She was tempted to go for another one. But, she didn't want to spoil him with any more of her affection. She thought of something which made her laugh. "We can finally go on our first date finally. I'm excited about that..." She saw that Wild Boy had a look of forlorn. She giggled. "Oh, stop looking like I killed your puppy. We'll see each other..." She turned back to luggage. "We've been speaking for six years. We can wait for a few more days...." She noticed that he was quiet. "Wild Boy?" Rain turned around to find that she was alone in the bedroom. **** "Waiting... bullshit... I refuse..." Kendrick continued to mutter to himself as he traveled down the stairs into the foyer. He strolled down the long corridor to the kitchen. He stood in doorway. His eyes scanned the kitchen. He stared at the cabinets and counter space that was a few feet away. He briskly traveled over to the cupboards. His hands began to pull out several drawers. He searched through each drawer. He was looking for one particular item. After investigating the ninth drawer, he found what he was looking for in the tenth drawer. Finding the silverware drawer, he withdrew a large carving knife. "Six years is too long..." **** With her large, black leather duffel bag strapped to her back and the handle of a rolling suitcase in each hand, Rain made her way down the wooden stairs. She was relieved that the other house guests have already left. She didn't want to see them as she made her exit out of the house. She also didn't want them to think that she was running away. After opening the front door, she was greeted by a strong wind. The strong breeze was freezing and contained snowflakes from the mountains that nipped at her cheeks. Before stepping outside, she turned on the porch lights that lit up the front of the mansion. She left her suitcases inside of the house while she made her way to her car. When she was about a foot away from her car, she spotted the two slashed tires on the driver's side. She gazed down at the strips of black rubber that laid in the driveway. "What the fuck...?" she screeched as her anger burned in her soul. Her initial assumption was Delilah and Georgina was the culprits. The thought was ruled out, when she realized that Georgina or Delilah was not suicidal. Her instinct told her to turn to the front door. She saw Kendrick standing in the doorway. He watched her for a moment. She could see that there was a smug expression on his face. She had managed to put 'two and two together'. "Son of a bitch!" she screamed while she seethed. He smiled and then he stepped further into the foyer. She saw that he was handling her suitcases. He was bringing them back into the house. "Son of a bitch!" **** "Why don't you take off your jacket? You look like you're baking in it," Kendrick commented with a smile. He saw that she was sweating as she sat on the couch. He saw how her face was dewy with perspiration. Whenever a drop of sweat would drip down her face, she would briskly wipe it away. She was still wearing her parka, even though she was inside of the house, which the temperature was at eighty degrees. He was amused and entertained by her stubbornness. "No, the Triple-A will be here in a few. I'll be fine," stated Rain. It's been forty-five minutes since she has called her auto club and made a report about her flat tires. "It is close to one in the morning, Rain. Baby, they are not coming until later on today. They know that you're in a house and not stranded on the side of some deserted road, so they're going to take their sweet ass time. So, you might as well take off your coat and get comfortable," informed Kendrick. It was close to one in the morning and almost an hour has passed since the discovery of her vandalized car. She knew that the slashed tires were Kendrick's extreme tactic of convincing her to stay. After discovering her tires were damaged, she entered the foyer and proceeded to try to pummel Kendrick. He deflected her strikes while laughing at her. His laughter infuriated her. Then she really tried to claw his eyes out of their sockets with her fingers. The scuffle ended when he ended up placing her in a UFC-type of restraint move. He held her constricted until she calm down, a few minutes later. After calmed down and was released from his grip, she called her auto club, in hope of having her car fixed quickly. Now, they were lounging in the living room of the multimillion-dollar mansion. Kendrick and Rain were sitting on the twelve-person, leather sectional and were watching a movie off of the eighty-inched, flat screen television that was mounted on the wall, right above the vent-free fireplace. Kendrick was reclining on the chaise lounge section of the couch while Rain was sitting at the other end. "I'm going to the kitchen. Do you want anything?" he inquired, as he rose off of the couch. "No thank you," she said to him with her eyes focused on the LCD screen. "All right," was his reply. Her eyes followed his retreating form as he strolled pass Rain to leave out of the living room. Her eyes gazed at his broad shoulders and thick neck. Then, they traveled down to his wide back and finally settled on his ass. He was wearing a pair of gray sweatpants that flattered his ass. Her eyes lingered on his muscled posterior. There was a strong urge to touch it. Her fingers even tingled with a need. 'He has a nice round bubble butt for a white boy— Wait, what the hell? I am checking out Wild Boy! Oh my God!' She giggled. Kendrick returned to the living room, forty-five minutes later. Rain was too enthralled with the movie that she was watching that she didn't notice him enter the room at first. It wasn't until he walked in front of the television that she noticed he entered the room. She saw that he was carrying a meal tray in his hands. There was a delicious aroma emitting from the tray. Her stomach growl and churned at the mere thought of eating. She didn't eat anything on the previous day. He placed the tray onto the cushion next to where she was sitting. She glanced down at the tray and saw two plates with meals. On one plate, there was a New York strip steak that appeared to be grilled to perfection. There were side dishes of mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables. On the other plate, there was a dessert of a slice of chocolate cake. There was a bottle of Miller's Lite which is her favorite beverage of choice. "I figured that you might want to eat..." he stated as he returned to his seat. "...It's nothing special, just leftovers from the night before. I had cooked up the steaks while Elena did the side dishes and the dessert. She is one of the best cooks that I know. I know that you love to drink Miller Lite. So, go ahead and eat up, ever since I know that you are starving. I've been listening to your stomach growl since we've been in here." "Excuse me?" Rain stared at him. He was returning the same look. "You heard me!" he chuckled out. "Your guard dog is growling something vicious. I could hear it all the way from over here, even with the coat on." "Excuse me?" she chuckled. "My stomach— "Is growling and humming? Yes, it is! I can hear— Kendrick stopped speaking as soon as he heard her stomach growl. "See?" "Shut up!" Rain laughed. "Admit that you're hungry and go on and attack that plate of food!" "Attack the plate..." she trailed off and ended up laughing. "I am not..." He gave her a look of disbelief. "Okay, I am a little bit hungry. I will admit that to you. I didn't eat much tonight. I ate a little bit at the restaurant." The memory of being in the restaurant was brought to the forefront of her mind, along with the emotion of humiliation. The mood had become somber. There was a moment of awkward silence. "Go ahead and eat Rain," Kendrick told her. There was a look of concern on his face. Rain stared at the plates of food. The tale of Hades' courtship with Demeter's daughter Persephone entered her mind as she gazed at her meal. Kendrick was far from being as sinister as the God-king of the Underworld, but the situation reminded Rain of the story anyway. Kendrick watched Rain stare at her food for a moment. He wondered what she was thinking about. She stood up from the couch and taken a step away from the furniture. The idea that she was about to leave living room entered his mind. He was washed with a wave of disappointment. Her fingers touched the buttons on her coat and unfastened them. His pulse began to race. She unzipped her jacket's closure. He wanted to laugh from the joy that he was feeling at the sight of seeing Rain slip out of her coat. She draped the clothing over the back of the couch. She sat down and grabbed the tray. Two hours and twelve minutes has gone by since Rain had eaten her late-night meal. During her meal's consumption, Rain and Kendrick converse. The conversations started out being clumsy and awkward. Then, the mood had become tense, when Rain gave him an interrogation rather than speaking with him. Rain was asking questions that pertained to the conversations' topics that she had with EvilKidKneeVeil57. She wanted to make sure that Kendrick was him. For Rain, she still saw EvilKidKneeVeil57 and Kendrick as two different people. During the conversation, she wondered if he was going to lose his patience with her. It was during at one moment of her line of questioning, when she thought that he did reach his breaking point. "What is EvilKidKneeVeil57's favorite snack when he is at the movies?" she asked him. Kendrick let out a sigh and then said "SnoCaps and popcorn". He glanced down at the floor and scratched at his scalp. She sensed that he was feeling irritated, but he was behaving like a gentleman. "I'm sorry," she said to him, feeling guilty for being such a nag. "It's all right. You're just trying to establish trust between us. I'm not— "You're right, but I can tell that I am irritating you— "No, you're not irritating me. I am just angry at everyone who has ruined the relationship that we had— "It's not ruined— "What?" "It's not ruined," she informed him. Kendrick gave her a gaze and he held it for a brief moment. The moment was long enough for Rain to see the pained emotion that lurked behind. She felt the inside of her throat restrict. "I'm going to go upstairs and take a shower" he announced. "Kendrick, I'm sorry— "Don't be," he said in a chuckle, even though there was no humor to be found in his laughter. "I know that you're only asking me these things because of what happened. So don't worry about me, okay? I'm going to take my shower now. I'll be back. Here's the remote control..." He proceeded to hand her the largest remote controller that she has ever seen. "... You can watch whatever you want; we have over a thousand channels. I'll be back later." Then, he walked away from her. She watched Kendrick leave the living room. She saw how his posture was different; his shoulders were slumped and his head was slightly bowed. Just like his face, his body had carried the tone of resignation. **** "Ooh, ah, fucking... Fuck!" The statement had bounced off of the tiled, walls and echoed throughout the large, majestic-looking bathroom. Kendrick shouted out as his release over-took his large, 6'2 frame. His knees buckled, his muscles tensed in his legs and an increased source of pleasure burned at his nether regions. A blanket of bright, white light flashed in front of his closed eyes as his climax sliced through his body. His only functioning hand fisted his cock and made rushed strokes, to prolong the pleasure. Once he regained control of all of his limbs, Kendrick opened his eyes. He gazed at the final streams of his spunk as they dripped down the shower stall's wall and down into the tub, where they were washed down the drain. Kendrick has been sporting that particular wood for a few hours that it was starting to hurt. Afterwards, he settled his body underneath the stream of water that the shower faucet was spraying. He gave his body a quick cleaning before turning off the water and stepping out of the stall. He walked over to the sink to where his towel was waiting. He dried the excess water out of his brown hair and then wiped off the remaining water on his nude form. Completely nude, Kendrick left his bathroom, walked through the walk-in closet that was attached and entered his bedroom. He walked over to his king-sized bed, where he left some clean clothes. Without giving much of a thought, he slipped on the pile of clean clothes which consisted of a pair of grey-colored sweatpants and a black tank top. Once dressed, he sat on the edge of the bed and placed his face in his right hand. Kendrick let out a loud, bellowing groan. He was slowly accepting the inevitable. An idea of 'cutting his losses' formed in his head, as he was lying on the chaise lounge while he was talking to Rain. He decided to ignore the notion at first. But as Rain continued to interrogate him, he had come to the realization that she will never trust him. And, whatever little bit of trust that she had for him, was now gone. Now, there wasn't a chance of seeing this woman turn into his wife or into the mother of his children. Even though he didn't originally plan on having Rain here, he did managed to make up a plan in which she was going to be his woman. Now, his plan wasn't going to come into fruition. 'Fuck, fuck, fuck...' his mind roared in anguish. **** When Kendrick returned to the living room, Rain was gone. She wasn't sitting on the sectional, the spot where she was sitting, when he left the living room. The notion that Triple-A must've arrived and she had gone with the driver entered his mind. But, when he noticed that the television was left on and saw that her luggage was still positioned by the entryway, that idea was shot down. 'So where in the hell did she go?' He was about to leave the room, when he heard a sniffle. Then there was another sniffle. Kendrick placed the location to be inside of the living room, where the sectional was located. He walked over to the large piece of furniture and stood behind the back of the couch. He peered over the couch and found where Rain was hiding. Or, he found her in the location where Rain was reclining. She was lying on the faux bear rug that was lying, on the hardwood floor, in front of the couch. She was watching television; it was a rerun episode of the "Golden Girls". She was so engaged in the program that she didn't notice that Kendrick was standing there. He noticed that she had changed her clothes again. His stomach churned from excitement, when he realized that she changed into her source of sleepwear. 'Now, if only I can convince her to stay for the rest of the week,' he concluded. Kendrick also concluded that Rain was hiding a nice body, once she was out of the baggy, menswear that she always wore. Right now she was wearing a pair of gray, cotton shorts and a black tank top. He enjoyed the view. He enjoyed staring at her long, brown-skinned legs and her thick, curvy thighs as they posed in those form-fitting shorts. His dick hardened at the thought of having those limbs wrapped around his lower back as he fucked her hard. His eyes gleefully took in the small, defined waist that was wrapped with a black tank top. His thick, blunt fingers tingled in anticipation at the mere image of grabbing onto that defined curve as his prick stroked pleasure out of her. Kendrick adjusted himself with his abled hand. His eyes settled on the two mounds of flesh, which coyly revealed the curves from the sides of the shirt. His mouth watered with saliva in hunger at the thought of sucking, licking and nibbling on her tits. His eyes drifted up to her face and settled on her eyes, which were staring right at him. "Hello," she said with a smile on her pretty, full lips. A movement that was caught in Rain's peripheral vision caused her to divert her attention away from the "Golden Girls" rerun. She glanced away from the eighty-inched LCD screen and over to the couch. She saw Kendrick standing behind the couch. He was staring at her, but she noticed that he wasn't exactly focused on her. The life in his blue eyes was dulled a bit. He looked to be deep in the recesses of his mind. "Hello," she greeted him with a smile on her face. "Welcome back, come on, grab a pillow and join me." A bright, smile grew on his lips and it made her stomach flipped. She was intimidated by the sensation and by Kendrick strangely. She returned to watching the television show while Kendrick made his way around the couch. After he settled himself next to her on the floor, Rain scooted closer to his large form. With the front of her body pressed against his left arm, she used his left shoulder as a head rest. The sudden display of affection caused Kendrick to become rigid for a millisecond. His body lost the rigidness and grown at ease as he moved his arm away from her body. He moved his injured, left arm out of the way, so she could place her head on his chest. "Kendrick?" "Yeah?" he groaned. His breath felt warm and smelled like peppermint. EvilKidKneeVeil57 Ch. 02 "Please be patient with me," she requested. In response, a gentle kiss was planted on her scalp line. Kendrick's act of acceptance had caused multiple physiological reactions for her. Her heart started beating rapid against her chest. Her stomach muscles tightened. A shiver tickled at her backbone. The series of sensations occurred more than once, during this night, and it was a reaction to something horrible. But for this particular moment, it was accepted. It was a sign that reminded Rain that the love that she had for him was still there. **** "Mmmm..." groaned Kendrick. "I am not hurting you, am I?" Rain inquired. "No, baby, you're doing great." Rain felt her hands becoming dry. She stopped kneading the flesh on his back, so she could apply more Bath & Body lotion into her hands. She saw that Kendrick had glance over his shoulder to see why she had stopped. "I didn't quit on you, don't worry. I have to use more lotion," she informed him as she rubbed the floral-scented lotion on her palms. She resumed with her massage. "How are your sisters doing? The last time that I've seen them was at our graduation, when she bought that damn boat horn to the ceremony. Your sister Carol was huge and she had two little kids," he asked as he stared off to the side. "My sisters are doing all right. Carol is a mom to six, soon-to-be seven kids." "Seven kids, wow, I can't believe that your crazy sister has three kids, much less seven kids." "Yeah, Carol will have seven babies. She even is passing down her craziness to her kids. And, my sister Carmella is doing well. She is a student at Saint John's University. She has her own place because she can't imagine moving back into Carol and Noah's place." Rain's hands traveled to each one of Kendrick's pronounced trapezoids and kneaded the muscle, flesh and bone. He groaned in pleasure at her ministrations. His guttural growl stirred her arousal. It caused her to wonder if he makes the same groan whenever he reaches his release. Then, her mind's eye took her into more lascivious, sexual thoughts. She visualized mental scenes of Kendrick fucking her with slow strokes and licking her pussy, in various positions and angles. There was a slow, throbbing build up inside of her clit which she tried to alleviate by subtlety dragging her pearl against the swell of his ass. The fabric of her shorts gathered and caused friction against her cunt, which caused bolts of pleasure. There was shortness of breath. "Are you okay?" she asked, in a husky voice. Her fingers drifted down his spine to his lower back. "Yeah, I feel wonderful baby" was his answer. His voice was also strained. It didn't go undetected. "Tell me why you and Georgina have stopped being friends?" All of her movements had come to a stop and then she stared down at the back of his head. 'What. The. Hell?' she thought, feeling as if the subject had stamped down on her libido. "It's simple, she's a bitch." "Well, that bitch was your best friend at one point in time. Shit, I remember when you and she used to have sleep-overs and read 'The Babysitter's Club' books. What happened?" Rain let out a sigh. Her fingers pressed deep into his flesh and massaged out the knot in his Teres Major muscle. "In all honesty, you are going to have to ask your sister for her reason why she decided to not fraternize with me anymore. I remember being cool with her during freshman— "Move lower, please." Rain slipped her hands further down his back. He grunted his gratitude. "We were cool during our freshman year of high school. Then, sometime over the summer break, she met Delilah and then recruited Iris into their clique. When I returned, they were already a group. I wasn't deemed cool enough for them, which bothered me at first. But now, I am happy that they did it. If they didn't banish me, I wouldn't have met some incredible people. I wouldn't have joined the basketball team and met more incredible people. Plus, I don't think I would've won the Homecoming Queen title if I was still hanging out with your sister. I think that's part of the reason why she doesn't like me now. She thought that she was going to be popular with me not in the picture. Turns out, I had the high school life that she wanted anyway." She balled her hands into fists and proceeded to grind her knuckles along the sacrospinalis. Suddenly she felt Kendrick's body shudder and a loud, drawn-out growl erupt from him. Feeling alarmed, she stopped massaging. "Dude— "What the hell was that?" he asked, exasperated. "It's a technique that was taught to me by a teacher. What, you don't like it?" "Yes, I enjoyed it. In fact, I enjoyed it too much," was his answer. Then he muttered, "Now you got my dick all hard." "I'm sorry, what was that?" asked an amused Rain. "Nothing," he said, quickly as if he was a child who was caught saying something inappropriate. "Mmm-hmm," she hummed, stating her skepticism at his answer. She returned to grinding away the tension in his back with her knuckles. "So, tell me about your new job." "There's nothing much to tell you. I am working here at the resort. I am the vice president of marketing. I wish that I had an entry-level position, or, if I was hired to be a ski instructor at least. Shit, I wouldn't mind if I had a simple 'office' job, where I made copies and faxed documents. I prefer it that way." "I'm surprise that you would want a regular '9-to-5' job. You seem like the type who would want to spend the rest of your life traveling to different places and doing fun, care-free shit with your life." "If I were to do that, then I would have to rely on my mom and dad to take care of me, which makes me uncomfortable. Unlike my sister, I've never felt comfortable taken gifts and money from my parents, especially once I had gone off to college. So, what about you? Are you happy with your career? Do you not have any regrets not going off to college?" "No, I have no regrets about not going. Carol was not happy about me choosing to go to a trade school rather than go to college, especially since I had a B-Ball scholarship. But, being a mechanic has afforded me the ability to be financial secured, without having the four-year degree and the loan debt. But, on my spare time, I do take classes at a community center that is on my block." "What type of classes?" inquired Kendrick. "Art classes, pottery lessons, massage classes, a few dance classes and some self-defense courses," she answered. "Well, in regards to the massage classes, you definitely deserve an 'A-plus' for the work that you are putting into my back." Rain chuckled. A comfortable silence formed between the two of them. The television was the only source that provided noise to the environment. Every once in a while, there was a groan or a grunt from Kendrick, which added to Rain's arousal. She took a visual inventory of the broad area. She was enamored with the concept of how broad and strong his posterior looked. Her fingertips poked and prodded at the dense muscle. In her mind's eye, she imagined her finger clutching onto his strong body as his cock stroked her into sexual completion. Rain stopped her handiwork. She stared down at his back. A strong current of arousal washed over her body and she sighed. 'He's... Him,' her mind concluded. 'He's Kid...' Rain subtly nodded her head. 'Yeah, he's EvilKidKneeVeil.' Her fingers searched the rim of the black tank top. She peeled her tank top off and tossed it off to the side. Her hands ran along his spine once. She heard Kendrick growl. She spread her long form along Kendrick's larger form and planted a kiss on the base of his spine. She heard him hiss at the first contact. She started a trail of kisses along the raised bumps that marks where his spine was located. During her journey she took in the fragrance of the lotion. Her nipples dragged over his back, during her ascent toward his neck, and it tantalized at her heated core. She doled out a kiss until she reached the base of his neck. Once there, she draws a small circle with the tip of her tongue. "What the— In a breathy voice, she said into his right ear, "Turn around, so I can show you what else that I learned in my massage class". "What?" Kendrick repeated. "Turn around," she instructed in a seductive whisper. Kendrick felt her weight lift off of him, to allow him to move. He rolled onto his back while being mindful of his broken arm. The vision that welcomed him made his cock throb and his mouth watered. Rain, bare breasted, was kneeling beside Kendrick. Her bottom lip tucked itself into her mouth. Her brown eyes were smeared with arousal. He watched her face as she took in the large bulge that was poised in front of his sweatpants. "You see something that you like?" he asked her with a smile. His hand groped at his clothed member. Rain's eyes darted from his erection to his face. The corners of her lips turned up into a grin. Remaining the eye contact, she had taken a hold of the elastic band of his pants. Kendrick lifted his hips off of the floor, which was his way of granting permission. She pulled his sweatpants off of his hips and down to his knees, when he settled back down to the floor. She removed his pants and tossed them to the side. With his sweats off, he was now fully nude and his body was under Rain's surveillance. Before tonight, Rain assumed that EvilKidKneeVeil57's body would've been 'tall, dark, buff and sexy'. Now, the only thing that's dark on him was the patch of hair that was above his dick. She thought that his body was a sign of perfection. He was fit, but not overtly muscular. His build was built by nature and not by a gym. In her inventory, she saw the multiple scars that littered his body. Her fingertips grazed a few of them. He informed her that majority of them were injuries that he sustained from playing football and rugby, during his younger days. There were a few tattoos: a traditional 'I-heart-Mom' tattoo on his right bicep, the words 'glory' and 'freedom' in Old English lettering on both flanks and a tattoo of a sparrow on his right pectoral. Her eyes drifted down to his cock and testicles. The coloring of the flesh was slightly darker, two shades lighter than plum. He was circumcised, which highlighted his glans that was large and defined. He was blessed with a suitable girth and length to his sex. An image of his cock's head plugging her caused her pussy's walls to contract and release. Her right hand reached out for his shaft. She gave a gentle caressing swipe, which made Kendrick groan and his hips thrust upwards to the sky. She reached over to the location of where her bottle of lotion and grabbed the bottle. Adding a healthy dollop of hand cream into her left palm, she smeared the lubrication around. Looking from her hands to his handsome face, she gave him a brief smile. Kendrick waited in anticipation for the hand job that he knew was going to feel glorious. This was something that was out of his wildest dreams. There had been nights, when he would imagine all of the things that he would perform on her. The first contact of her lotion-covered hand made him groan loudly and thrust his hips upwards. He laid his head on the throw pillow, his right hand formed into a fist and his eyes closed. In response, she chuckled. Her small hand fisted his thick shaft and pumped in slow movements. Then her palm would cup his glans and provide a gentle caress, before returning to her first act. Eventually with her act, she added her other hand and had both objects massaging at his prick. They started with strokes that were slow and fluid. Gradually, the speed increased. A loud groan escaped his lips with every one of her caresses. "Rain, fuck girl," he moaned as he felt his impending orgasm. With a growl, his balls gave into the pressure. His eyes forming into thin slits, he witnessed multiple streams of cum shoot out of his prick. He watched until the final jet had shot out. "Shit," he grunted, before resting his head on the pillow. Rain watched his spunk coat her hand as she jerked him off. The texture was smooth like the lotion that she used, it was thick in density like molasses and it was hot-tempered like nothing that she's ever felt. She gave his cock one last squeeze before releasing him. Curious, she brought her hand to her lips and tasted his essence. She figured that he was mildly sweet, but mostly salty. But overall, he tasted delicious. She licked her hand clean. On her last lick, she discovered Kendrick was watching her the whole time. She saw that he was still breathing heavily. His face was ruddy with exertion and there was a sparkle in his eyes. She gave him a smile. "You taste good," she commented. In response, he growls in contentment. "Well, I can provide you with some more, if you like," he said in a sly manner. Rain gave him another smile before bending over and sucking the glans into her mouth. There was a drawn-out growl from above. She accepted more of his flaccid, cum-soaked member into her mouth. The taste of his jizz and her lotion ignited her taste buds. She had gone as far as she could and only withdrew, when the head of his cock touched the back of her mouth. Her mouth slid back up to his glans. She provided a strong suction to the fleshy, abundant of nerves. She sucked his cock back into her mouth and halfway down her throat. She developed a rhythm. His member lost its flaccidity and has become rigid again. Kendrick's groaning was now consistent and high in volume. His hand clasped her head and encouraged her. She replaced her mouth with her hand and stroked his shaft. Her lips and tongue nibbled, licked and sucked at his testicles. His lower body twitched, in response. "Rain?" his voice croaked. "Mmm?" she hummed as she licked at his heavy sacs. "I wanna fuck you," he stated. "Get up here." Her pussy tingled at the idea of being fucked by such a fascinating instrument. After giving his prick one final lick, she removed herself away from the vicinity. Kneeling on the floor, Rain pushed her shorts and thong passed her wide hips and down to her knees. She marveled at how wet and ready she was while she pulled her clothes off. She shifted her position on the floor so she could take her shorts and underwear off of her legs. "Oh," she gasped loudly, as she felt a tongue sample at her nectar. She glanced down and saw Kendrick licking and fucking her with his mouth. She grabbed a tuft of his thick hair and accepted whatever he wanted to give her. Kendrick, once he gathered his wits, sat up in an upright position. He was greeted by the viewing of Rain's pussy. She was lying on the floor to remove her shorts and underwear from off of her ankles. She was lying on her back and her legs were raised perpendicular to the floor, which caused her pussy to be revealed. She was free from any hair, so he saw her arousal. She was glistened and it appealed to him. He gave his dick a few strokes with his hand. Before she could place her feet back on the floor, his face was buried in between her legs. He knew that he surprised her. Her body briefly tensed up before settling down. Her legs were draped over his shoulders while his left forearm rested on her stomach, to keep her still. "Oh," she moaned repetitively. "Ken..." she gasped. His mouth sought after her clit and sucked on the tiny knot of nerves. His thick tongue slipped into her wet canal and fucked her. He felt her fingers grasp onto his hair in a tighter stance. Her moans encouraged him. Her pelvis and hips moved in brace of the intense pleasure, but majority of the movement was hampered. Kendrick first supplied her greedy cunt with one finger and soon added two more fingers. The three thick digits pumped in and out of her as Rain screamed out her pleasure. 'Okay, where is it?' he thought as his submerged fingers searched. His fingers curved upwards to her navel and felt a slight bump. "Oh," she groaned loudly with a tilt of her hips. 'There you go,' he said to himself. His fingers proceed to frantically rub at the small bump. "Oh fuck, Kendrick!" she screamed. "Rub your tits for me," he demanded as he stroked her cunt. Rain sought after her breasts and played with her nipples. Pressure built up inside of her belly as she felt her orgasm. "Kendrick!" she loudly moaned as she climaxed. He stroked her inner walls to prolong her pleasure. Rain never experienced such a feeling before. She has masturbated countless of times, but the climaxes that were done by her hand could never compete with this recent climax. She felt his fingers continue to pump into her warm canal as she floated down from her post-coital high. Her canal squeezed his fingers in gratitude. He withdrew his fingers and then gave her pussy a slow lick before sitting up. Lying on the floor and feeling as loose like a well-cooked noodle, she stared at Kendrick. He was kneeling in between her legs. The fire from the fireplace cast a dim orange light amongst his muscular frame. His erection was prominent and strong. Her eyes drifted up to his handsome face. His fingers were brought to his lips and she smiled as he licked his fingers. "You taste so sweet," was his response. "I want something else," she swooned. "Tell me what you want," instructed Kendrick as he stroked his heavy cock in his hand. Rain appeared to be contemplating something. "I want... I want you to show me why you have the name 'Wild Boy'." She saw his eyes darken. His jaw clenched shut. He rolled his shoulders thrice. She shuddered in anticipation. Kendrick slithered up her body as if he was a large serpent. During his journey, there was a juicy kiss applied to an exposed part. When he reached her pair of breasts, his eyes had taken on a predatory gleam as they zeroed in on her tits. He initiated his attack with a lick on the underside of her left breast. Rain sighed and then moaned in response, when spurred him on. He suckled and gently bit into her ample flesh for a moment before moving onto her right breast. Rain was very turned on and horny from Kendrick's oral ministrations to her tits. Her inner thighs were smeared with her juicy cunt's nectar. Her pussy's walls clenched and released irrationally. There was an ache in her cunt. Even though she has never felt a dick before, she desperately wanted him to fuck her. She felt his cock resting on her left thigh. It was weighty and hot. "Mmmm, Kendrick," she sighed, "fuck me now." He licked the underside of her left breast. She hissed in pleasure. His lips enclosed over her nipple and suckled like a newborn baby. His left hand cupped her right breast and kneaded the ample flesh. Rain moaned and mewled at the sensations that his hand and mouth was invoking. His lips found the curve on the left side of her neck and sucked at the sensitive patch of skin. "Oh Kendrick," she whispered into his right shoulder. Kendrick found her soft and plump lips again and she moaned against his mouth. Meanwhile, his narrow hips caused his cock to rub along her damp slit. He was preparing his member for the pain that he was about to inflict on Rain. She was oblivious to the impending discomfort at the moment. As his cock dragged across her heated core, her body was writhing underneath his massive frame. "Are you ready?" he inquired with his voice sounding strained. "Yes," she moaned. Her brown, long legs wrapped around his waist. Kendrick's sapphire-colored orbs eyed Rain. He stared down at her beautiful face as she lied underneath her. She was sweaty and the perspiration made her tawny, skin glowed. Her eyes were closed. Her lips consistently moved as she expressed how intense her pleasure felt. "Baby, put me in," instructed Kendrick. He saw Rain open her eyes and then stared up at him. He felt her hand brush against his abdomen as she slipped in between their sweat-slicked bodies and reach for his cock. Regrettably, his hips still their movements to allow his lover to grab a hold of his thick member. He let out a grunt of pleasure as her fingertips brushed against the stalk of his prick. He felt her hand grab onto the base of her member. She aligned his member up to the opening of her cunt. With a sharp thrust, his cock impaled her warmth. He felt her legs tighten their grip around his waist while her arms wrapped around his upper body.
