The Consequences and Rewards of Playing Hookey
Epilogue
It was Christmas Eve and everybody gathered at the Carson’s house for good cheer and fellowship.
“What a wonderful gathering,” beamed Sandy, as she put her arm around Veronica Carson’s shoulder.
“It has been an amazing year, I must confess,” smiled her boyfriend’s mother.
“Agreed,” said an approaching Rick Carson.
Sandy’s last two months had been incredible. She had renewed her friendship with Maya and Mindy. The two had become Wilson High’s “It” couple. Several other Lesbian couples came forward after Maya and Mindy had publicly announced that they were an item at a school assembly promoting Gay awareness. Initially they took some flack, but eventually their families supported them and with ‘Sandra Turner’ on their side, the Varsity cheerleaders became the toast of the school. Sandy was also ecstatic about something else. She and Derek both received early acceptance to the University of Pennsylvania. They would be going to school with Derek’s sister, Laura. She had just received the good news from her brother. An ecstatic Laura had broken her clinch with her boyfriend Liam to hug the stuffing out of Derek.
Derek heard the doorbell ring and moments later he saw Joshua and Harmony walk in. When Harmony saw Sandy, she ran to her friend. “Joshua proposed! We’re getting married!” the older girl screamed, as she hugged Sandy and then showed off her engagement ring.
“So you got rid of the other girls?” smiled an approaching Derek.
“Kind of,” said Josh. “They aren’t going to live with us, but we’ll all visit each other pretty regularly. Harmony still likes girls too,” he laughed, before pausing, “I see why you did what you did with your girls though.”
“It was the right thing to do for me and for them too.”
“Well for Sandy at least, though that may not be the case.” smiled Josh. “Look at Maya and Mindy. They’re looking at you.”
“Yeah, they still do that sometimes. “
“Now look at Sandy.”
Derek saw Sandy politely listening to Harmony while surreptitiously looking at Derek and glancing over at Maya and Mindy occasionally.
“Sandy knows that the girls still want to be part of your lives. She knows that they miss her and Chantelle almost as much as they miss you.”
“But I see them almost every day. Chantelle is busy with Cass, but she still finds time to spend with us too.”
“But it’s not the same. Maya, Mindy and even Chantelle have come to terms with the fact that their lives have changed because of what happened to you all. You are all still bonded from your experience, even Chantelle. Despite this, she loves her old boyfriend and realized that she had to move on, so she did. Maya and Mindy know that things really didn’t need to change, but have given you and Sandy space. The only people who haven’t faced facts are you and your blond.”
Then Derek saw Sandy walk over to Maya and Mindy and hug them. Then they began to talk.
“I love Maya and Mindy, but I’m IN love with Sandy.”
“What does that have to do with anything? They deeply love you, Sandy and Chantelle too. We all know Chantelle is out of the picture. She’s made her decision because it is the only way she could be with her boyfriend, but why can’t the rest of you be together?”
“Because...”
“Because Sandy hasn’t faced her own feelings and desires.”
“You mean the lesbian acts?”
“Bingo. At the time, you didn’t have much of a choice to cut out sex with Maya and Mindy to get Sandy. The good news is that sooner or later, Sandy and you will have to face facts.”
“How do you know?”
“Because the same thing happened between me and Harmony.”
“How did you resolve it?”
“I gave her a ring and then we had sex with the other girls,” he laughed. “You aren’t the only one IN love with one of his former slaves.”
“Former?”
“I freed all of them and five decided to stay. Harmony knows that she is THE one and she can lick all the pussy she wants. She knows that I can have all the others without the fear that I’ll stop loving her and vice versa. She’s the only one that will be my wife. The others understand that and still have elected to stay in our lives.”
“Because they bonded to you?”
“And we bonded to them, both physically and emotionally. You and your girls are the same way.”
Derek looked over at his girls, who appeared to be huddling and then back at his strange benefactor.
“Speaking of your girls, they seem to be up to something. I’d be careful if I were you,” he smirked.
“I’m sure they are just hanging out,” observed Derek.
“Close to the mistletoe?” laughed Josh.
About an hour later, pretty much everyone had left. Sandy came up to Derek, grabbed his arm and pulled him under the mistletoe. Then she kissed him.
After he broke the kiss, he smiled at her. “You didn’t need to do that just to kiss me.”
“No, but she needed to so we could too,” laughed Mindy. She looked to see that nobody was watching and gave him a kiss of equal passion.
“Especially me too!” said Chantelle, as she did the same.
“Me three!” laughed Maya. She duplicated the other three’s efforts, perhaps even exceeding their intensity.
Laura saw Maya’s kiss and walked over to her friend Sandy. “You better get that hussy away from your man, or you’ll lose him,” she grinned.
Sandy blushed, but managed to get out “Not worried unless Derek starts wearing Mistletoe hats,” she managed to cover.
After the clean-up crew managed to pick up the house, Maya and Mindy were persuaded to stay overnight in one of the spare rooms. After Sandy and Derek had gone to bed, Sandy looked into his eyes. “Honey, we need to talk.”
“That sounds serious. Do I have anything to worry about?”
“No. You’re safe, at least as far as I’m concerned.”
“Good. I’d hate to worry about you and me on Christmas Eve.”
“It’s almost Christmas day,” she said looking at his alarm clock.
“True. Well I also have something to say, but you first.”
“OK,” she paused, as she took in a deep breath. “Derek, I’ve been a selfish bitch about you, Maya and Mindy.”
“Honey, that’s not true…”
“Hear me out,” she said and he nodded.
“Derek, they need you. In their own way they’ve been suffering. You have too.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll get to that. I’ve talked to them and we’ve agreed that you need to spend some discreet time with them. I have no problem with that, if you are worried.”
“You know they miss you too.”
“I know. I just don’t know how I feel and what that will do to us. I think it would be safer if….”
“Sandy, look…. If you want to be with the girls too it won’t mean anything to us, except that we’ll be able to be closer to two other people we already love,” he soothed.
“But what if…”
“Sandy, what happened to us has changed us to some degree. You said that you engaged in lesbian acts to please me, but did you wind up liking them?”
“Yes,“ she murmured with a blush.
“Do you miss the girls?”
“Yes.”
“Then you need to be with them too.”
“But I don’t want to feel that way. I don’t want to lose you!” she cried.
“You won’t. I was willing to give up the girls for you, remember?”
“But what if I start and I can’t give them up!”
“You don’t have to give them up.”
“Even…”
“When we’re married, you mean?”
“I didn’t say that,” she said.
“No, but you were thinking it.”
Sandy lowered her head. Derek lifted it. “There is no reason that we can’t both get together with Maya and Mindy from time to time. I sense that they are as serious about each other as we are. I’m in love with you Sandy Turner. I want us to live off-campus together in Philly when we go to Penn.
“Well, we could always live on campus and torture our roommates.”
“I’m not sure they allow married couples to live on campus.”
“What?” asked Sandy.
Derek reached in his pocket and pulled out an old fashioned diamond ring.
“It’s beautiful,” she beamed.
“It belonged to my great grandmother. My grandfather gave it to me knowing how I feel about you. What I wanted to ask you was Sandy Turner, will you be my wife?”
Sandy began to cry. “Yes!” she screamed and hugged him tightly.
There was a knock on the door and Maya poked her head in. “Did you ask her?” she grinned.
“Yep!” laughed Derek, as he saw the time on the clock read exactly midnight.
“You knew?” laughed Sandy through a tear.
“Me too,” giggled Mindy as she walked in behind Maya.
“He told us about a week ago,” stated Maya.
“And you knew what Sandy had in mind about me and you two?” asked Derek.
“She told us tonight,” grinned Mindy.
“So you knew…” started Sandy.
“That I’d being doing this tonight,” husked Maya, as she pulled a surprised Sandy into a kiss.
“And I’d be doing this,” added the redhead. She mimicked her Latina lover’s actions, but on an equally surprised Derek.
When both lesbians broke the kisses with their surprised lovers, Mindy spoke first. “Since this is a special night for you two, we decided that you should be alone.”
“We’ve waited this long, so what’s another day?” stated Maya.
“We do expect our Christmas present later,“ said Mindy, as she fondled Derek’s member through his boxers.
“Yes we do,” added Maya, as she caressed Sandy’s ass.
“OK,” murmured the dazed lovers in unison. Derek and Sandy watched their other lovers softly giggle as they left the room and closed the door.
Derek and Sandy looked at each other and then both laughed.
“You know I really missed what we had been doing all summer and before,” smiled Sandy.
“Me too, but I’m glad they left us alone. Sandy, this is the first night of the rest of our lives and I want to spend it with only you.”
“Me too.”
“You mean you don’t…”
“I guess I want them too, but not every night. I only want you every night,” smiled the blond sweetly. “You’re my best friend and the love of my life. They can share in our lives, but not all of us. There are parts of me that are only for you. I know that now and I’m not afraid.”
Derek smiled, as he grasped her head and kissed her deeply. Soon she was riding him, her lustrous golden hair flying all around. While most his brain was a haze of passion, the few of his synapses that were firing were telling him that he should be counting his blessings this year. Derek’s sister Laura was seriously involved with her boyfriend, Liam. All of his friends had loving girlfriends. The Carson and the Turner families were close friends again. Then there was Sandy.
Between their grades, SAT scores, sports and volunteer work in the community, they were both accepted at the same Ivy League school. “My Sandy,” he thought. The sweet friend of his youth had merged into the stunning creature who was riding him. She would be his friend, lover, partner and wife. Still, that was only the beginning. They also had an amazing pair of part-time lovers in Maya and Mindy, who were also their dearest friends. They would spice up Sandy and Derek’s lives; both in and out of bed.
Never could the young man have imagined how playing Hooky that March day would have changed his life so drastically. Derek now knew that while playing hooky had consequences, it came with incalculable rewards too.
