$Education's out early. I'm nearly home, but not nearly done. I have a lot of homework to do, and I have to take care of my little $girlRel too. Our $manwomanToboygirlRel had been fighting lately, so they decided to take a weekend off. Leaving me in charge. //As if I didn't have enough to do already.// Well, in truth, I don't really mind. My relationship with my $girlRel is pretty good, we fight now and then, as all $boygirlRel do, but we generally get along well. I've been caring for her, for a pretty long time. I arrive at the estate's gate and press the button on my remote to open it. I drive through, follow the road and park my car in the driveway, in front of the door. //Still... For them to leave early this morning, skipping work, that's a first.// I wasn't too worried about it, but my $girlRel's a different story. She's younger, and the constant tension had affected her. She'd been on her best behavior so as not to give them any reason to fight—of course, it hadn't worked. //Maybe I'm underestimating it. I can't remember the last time our $manwomanToboygirlRel took time off or went on vacation, so perhaps it actually is serious.// They are true workaholics; we don't see them much. They're always busy—too busy to take care of us. When we were younger, we had a nanny. As I grew older, I was given that job, and taking care of $girlName became my responsibility.

I open the front door, put away my backpack, jacket, and shoes in the hallway, and enter the living room. Looking around, I don't see my sister, so I yell, "$girlName, I'm home!" Even though I'm used to taking care of my $girlRel, having to take care of her for an entire weekend is new. I usually only have to drive her to $education or swim practice, cook, or order dinner and help her with her homework. //It's good though. This way she gets a weekend off, too.//

I walk into the kitchen and open the fridge. I'm greeted by a pack of milk, a tiny slice of cheese, some ketchup, a near-empty coke bottle—probably flat too—and a beer pack. //At least a glimmer of light. $ManShortRel thought to stock some beer. I'll just have to order takeaway. Let's see what $girlName wants to eat.//

I walk up the stairs—before I'm even at the top, I hear music blasting through the walls. I walk up to the door of my $girlRel's room and knock. No response. I knock again, harder. I wait. No response.

<> <<set $time = "16:15">> <<set $scene = "Hallway">> <<set $mode = "append">> <<set $opt1name = "Knock even harder">> <<set $opt1incl = "DAY01.SCENE01.PATH1.PART5">> <<set $opt1init = "DAY01.SCENE01.PATH1.PART5.INIT">> <<include OPTIONS.INIT>> <<include UI.INIT>> <>

I pound on the door, hard and repeatedly. //Still no response?// I grab the handle—the music stops. I hear scuffling, and a second later, "You can come in." I open the door and walk into my $girlRel's room. She's sitting on the bed, a blanket pulled up to her shoulders. I look around the room and see a t-shirt, socks, and pants lying on the floor. //She was changing?// "I knocked, and knocked... What are you doing, having that music so loud?" She blushes and looks down. "$girlNick you're gonna go deaf like that." "You're right, I'm sorry." She looks glum, and as she says it, she lies down on her back, pulling the blanket over her head. I move over to her and sit down on the bed beside her.

"I was just joking, I'm not upset. I'm sorry for teasing you." She rolls onto her side and looks at me. I put my hand on her shoulder and squeeze encouragingly. "You're home early." "You're not happy to see me?" "Stop it, you know that's not it." She smiles as I ruffle her golden locks, after which I stand up and look down at her. She shifts back onto her back, looking up at me, the blanket pulled up to her chin. "I just wanted to ask, what do you want to eat tonight? Fridge's empty, so we'll have to order something." "Pizza!" She sits up suddenly, and in her haste, she lets go of the blanket covering her—revealing her bare chest. <<if $girlBreasts === "flat">>//She's flat... But cute.//<<elseif $girlBreasts === "modest">>//Such nice breasts...//<</if>> She quickly lies down again, pulling the blanket up, her face beet red. //So cute...// I look around the room, trying to avoid eye contact. //This is awkward. I should pretend I didn't see anything.// As my eyes wander the room, I look at the pile of clothes more carefully. Inside her pants, barely visible, I see her panties. I feel my heart beat rapidly and quickly look away, at the ceiling, the floor, wherever. //She's naked?// I look at her, our eyes meet. She's still blushing. //What, am I getting embarrassed myself now? Why should I care if my little $girlRel's naked?// "I want pizza." "Right. We'll order pizza. You want Funghi right? I'll take four cheeses, we can share if you want." //Seriously, what's wrong with me.// I'm blushing myself now, and quickly turn around, moving towards the door.

She turns around, and pulls the blanket up higher. I sit down on the bed next to her, and tell her, "I'm not angry, I'm just worried about you." I sigh as she lies there, hiding under the blanket. //Well, this should cheer her up.// "I'm ordering pizza for us. So, cheer up." She turns around and faces me, and I tell her, "It's going to be fine. We're going to have a nice time, a nice weekend." She nods, and I nod back. I get up from her bed and move towards the door.

I try to clear my thoughts; I didn't expect to be so shaken from seeing her breasts. Certainly, it's normal for her to be embarrassed, but not me. //She's my little $girlRel. But what's this feeling... Excitement? That can't be right.// I shake my head as I walk towards my room.

I walk into my room and close the door behind me. It's still too early to order the food, so I've some time to kill. //I'll do some homework and distract myself.// I start my computer and start working on the paper that is due. //Was she naked?// I shake my head and continue working. //Focus. Stop thinking about her.// I try my best. But fail, and images of $girlName keep popping into my head. Her smile, the smell of her hair... <<if $girlBreasts === "flat">>Her small breasts<<elseif $girlBreasts === "modest">>Her firm breasts<</if>> and her blushing face when she showed it to me. //Was I really sitting on her bed, ruffling her hair, touching her shoulder, while she was naked, only covered by a thin sheet?// I feel myself get erect as the images of her grow clearer. //Why do I even care? It doesn't matter.// I shake my head again and focus on my homework. //She's my $girlRel. I grew up with her. I've got to stop thinking about her this way. Right now.// I force myself to start writing again. But it's truly no use. I can't get her out of my head. //What's wrong with me?// I'm breathing faster. My stomach keeps churning. //Is it because I haven't masturbated in a while? That has to be it. There's no way I'm attracted to my little $girlRel.//

Understanding that the only way to rid me of these intrusive thoughts is to get rid of the pent-up desire, I close the document. //Let's get comfortable first.// I take off my pants and underwear, putting on my pajama instead. I sit back down and open a private browsing window, opening a porn site. I scroll past several videos until I find one I like. It features a classic story; a teen-student has gotten a failing grade and must find a way to resolve it... //She's cute.// I stroke my cock, I imagine I am the teacher. The girl, wearing a slutty schoolgirl-outfit, approaches me and leans over the desk, putting her elbows down on it. She gives me a great view of her C-cup breasts; when she notices me staring, she smiles at me. "I wanted to talk about my grade..." She says in a slutty voice, wriggling her body to accentuate her shapely breasts while moving her face closer to mine. "What's there to talk about? You did awful! You naughty girl, I bet you didn't even study." "That's not true, I did my best... I'll prove it to you." She smiles and moves over next to me, sitting down on her knees. "Oh? And how will you do that?" I ask her while turning my body to her and unzipping my pants. //She's cute, but the writing and acting is terrible.// I pause the video and start looking at the suggested videos next to it.

I click on a video that grabs my attention. It's a cute girl, the boy is a little fat. The video starts with a picnic in a park, and the couple making out. The boy starts groping her, pulling off her clothes. //Her breasts are more like $girlName's.// I ignore the thought that strikes me, but my member grows more erect. I imagine groping her breasts, kissing her, moving slowly down her neck, planting kisses everywhere. Teasing her nipples, suckling on them like a babe. She giggles as I do, and starts pulling at my pants. Nobody is paying attention to us. The park's empty. I grow bolder, moving down further, planting kisses on her belly button, rubbing her pussy over her white panties. A wet spot soon forms on the cloth, and her breathing grows labored. I'm lying down between her legs, planting kisses on her soaked undergarment. She squeals as I rub my nose in it, taking a big sniff. I pull down her panties, revealing her wet, bushy slit. //I hoped she was shaved. I wonder if $girlName is bald?// I close my eyes, just listening to the video. The girl's image in it is replaced by my $girlRel, and I wonder how she would taste. How it would feel to kiss her. What kind of expression she would make when she lies quivering in my grasp. I speed up, stroking myself quicker and quicker as I envision these things. As I imagine eating my little $girlRel out—I barely have enough time to grab a tissue, and I cum into it. Waves of pleasure flow through me as I recover from the orgasm. //What was that? That was crazy.// Guilt fills me as the pleasure fades. //What was I thinking? How can I think of her like this? It's so wrong.// I get up from the bed and open the door to the bathroom, which lies in between our rooms, connecting them. I flush the cum-filled wad of tissues down the toilet. //Seriously, what did I just do? But it felt so good. I haven't cum like that, ever.// I sit down behind my desk, my heart racing, and I put my head in my hands. //What do I do? How do I stop this? I have to stop this.// Self-criticism and shame fill my thoughts, and time passes as I sit there wallowing in my misery. //I'm scared... I don't understand, I've never thought about her in this way before. What changed?//

I get up from the chair and move out of the room, entering my $manShortRel's home office at the end of the hallway. There I call for pizzas to be delivered here. //How do I face her after this?// I put the worry out of my mind and move to my $girlRel's room, knocking on it. "I've just ordered the pizza." After telling her so, I move back to my own room and continue working on the report I'd neglected. I make good progress, and soon the intercom buzzes.

The intercom's screen shows the delivery boy standing outside the gate. "Come on in, I'll open it up for you. Just follow the road to the front door." I tell the boy as I press the button to open the gate. "$girlName, pizza's here!" I scream as I walk down the stairs to retrieve the pizza. As I walk through the kitchen, I notice my $girlRel in the dining room. She's setting the table. "Ah, you were here already. The pizza has just arrived." "Yeah I heard the intercom. I'll finish setting the table." I retrieve the pizza, and its appetizing scent fills the dining room. "It smells good. I'm hungry." I tell her as I try to make casual conversation, and not reveal the thoughts swirling in my mind. //I'm sweating. Scared to face her. After what I've done...// I look at my $girlRel; she stands about $girlHeight. She has flowing golden locks and expressive deep blue eyes. //Objectively, she really is a looker.// She's in her pajamas too, white ones, with a flower motif and frilly cuffs. She meets my eyes and smiles. I look away, ashamed. I move to the table, putting the boxes on it.

The pizza has already been cut, so it's easy eating. "Do you want to trade some pieces?" I ask her as I give her box to her, and sit down across from her. "Sure, I'll trade two." She tells me, taking two pieces in her hands. She leans over the table and hands them to me. "Ah, do you want something to drink too?"—I ask her as I stand up—"We don't have much to choose from, though. I need to go grocery shopping." As she hangs over the table to take two pieces of my pizza, she answers, "Sure, whatever's fine." I walk into the kitchen and open the fridge. I go through it and retrieve the near-empty coke bottle as well as a beer for myself. The glasses were already set by my $girlRel. I head back to the table and stand beside her seat, looking over her shoulder. She has her elbows on the table, leaning over to eat the piece of pizza above her plate. //Not very dignified...// I hang over her shoulder to pour coke—and my breath stops. //What a view.// Because she is leaning forward, her loose pajama shirt has come free from her chest. I watch as she breathes in and out; how her toned belly, and the muscles lying beneath it, bulge up and collapse again. I stare at her pale white skin, the pink skin surrounding her tiny nipples. //Shit, stop staring and pour.// I pour her drink, trying to keep my cool. The member in my pants that had just been satisfied begins to stir again. And as I sit down across from her and pour myself a glass of beer, I find myself blushing and fidgeting. I watch her as she eats, greedily with her fingers. Slathered in grease, she sucks on them. She looks at me, looking puzzled. //Fuck, I'm staring.// I look down and feel flushed. //She noticed me staring. Does she know? Just eat, act normal.// "Today, we learned about molecules and atoms. You know about them, right? A molecule is a tiny particle, which is made up of even tinier atoms. They're the building blocks for everything. There's water molecules, 'H2O', and carbon molecules, and they're inside everything and everyone. Even us! We're made up of 7 oct—something atoms, which is even bigger than a billion trillion," She smiles happily as she tells me about her day at $education, and I respond affirmatively as she's telling me about it. "So, you're starting to like physics then?" "No way, I still hate math. Just the scale of it all... It's amazing." "Speaking of $education, have you done your homework for the week?" I ask her, putting on a stern face. "Most of it..." "You know that isn't good enough. We can watch a movie or TV tonight, but only after your homework is done." "It's just so hard, I'm no good at math. Unlike you I'm not that smart." She pouts and looks at me, egging me on.

"You can always ask me for help, you know?" I smile as I realize that is what she was aiming for. "It's no bother, I like to teach others." "Then, will you help me after dinner?" I nod in the affirmative, and we continue eating. She takes a sip from her coke, and her face twists. "Yuck, it's totally flat. Disgusting." "I thought so. There's nothing else, though, except water. Want some?" She looks at me dubiously, but nods in the end. I get up and get a glass for her. As we continue eating, and I'm sipping from my glass of beer, I see her looking at me enviously. She moves to drink more water but makes an exasperated sigh. "Here you are, enjoying your beer... And here I am, drinking flat coke and plain water.

"No need for the theatrics, here, have some," I hand her my glass, "but only a sip. You shouldn't be drinking until you're twenty-one." She takes a sip and grimaces. "That's nice." I laugh, "Who are you kidding? Your face doesn't lie, you know." She pouts and hands the glass back to me, and we finish eating, talking about this and that. As I get up from the table to collect her plate, I tell her, "Go on, go to your room and find the problems you need help with. I'll join you when I'm done with the dishes, I won't be long."

I imagine her sitting on my lap, with just a thin layer of fabric separating her skin from my touch. The arm I had linked around her stomach, how I could move it, slipping my hand under her shirt and placing it gently on her bare skin. How I rub her stomach as my erection pokes against her leg. How she relaxes in my grasp, leaning against my chest. How she shivers as my hand under her shirt slowly moves up towards her <<if $girlBreasts === "flat">>tiny breasts<<elseif $girlBreasts === "modest">>smallish breasts<</if>>, and the duality I feel; the softness of her skin and the stiffness of the muscles that lie under it. I imagine that her breath stops as I trace my finger around her areola, every so often coming into contact with her hardened nubs. How she grinds against the erection pressing into her, and how my right hand would once again trail down her body—from her chests to her ribs, to her belly-button, and then to her pubic mound, where it lingers, rubbing slowly, coming closer to her groin but never reaching it. Rubbing her breast, pinching her nipples softly. She would moan quietly, our pajamas drenched with our precum. How she arches her back, sitting up straight and looking up towards the ceiling, her arm up in the air and her hand on grasping onto my neck. How she shivers as my right-hand lifts her pajama bottoms, letting the cold air inside—I grunt and cum violently, shaking my hips as globs of sperm fly and land on my stomach. My breathing is labored, the world is spinning. //FUCK. Fuck, fuck.//

But, I'm scared, what if they don't love us enough?" "Don't think that their marriage or divorce impacts their love for you. Even if they divorce, they're still our $manwomanToboygirlRel. They'll love us just the same. So don't worry." "You must be right. Still, I hope they'll make up while they're gone." With that, the conversation falls silent, and we continue watching TV while in each other's embrace. Time goes by, but not much is said.

I know it sucks that you've nothing to drink but water, but letting you drink beer is not the solution." She sighs and turns back to look at the TV. "Fine, be that way then. So responsible and mature." "I am your older $boyRel after all. Keeping you safe is my job, remember." She looks at me, annoyed. But then laughs, "Safe from a sip of beer? Thanks, my prince. Where's the horse?" And with that, the tension is gone. She settles down in the cushions again and focuses on the episode. The night quietly passes as we watch a couple of episodes together, cozily under the blanket, chatting about nothing at all.

I squeeze her shoulder and tell her, "It's time to sleep." She nods and frees herself from my embrace. She gets her blanket and pillows and heads for the stairs, with me in tow. We brush our teeth in our shared bathroom. "Good night." I tell her and turn away, heading for my room—and am stopped by the hands locked around my waist. I feel my $girlRel press her head into my back and hug me tight. "Good night, $boyNick." We stand there for a couple of seconds, after which she lets go, and we both head for our rooms. The impression her hands and face left on my body lingers on.

As the credits roll, I turn off the TV and tell my $girlRel, "It's already late, it's time for bed." She nods, and together with her blanket, pillows, and me heads for the stairs. I brush my teeth together with her in the shared bathroom. We wish each other good night and retreat to our rooms.

A new day. I get out of my bed and get dressed. I walk towards the bathroom and pull at its door—it's locked. I go into the hallway toilet and freshen up there instead. I walk down the stairs, into the kitchen, and open the fridge and rummage through it. //Some eggs, milk, and butter.// I look in the cabinets and find flour as well as other staples. //Pancakes. I can make pancakes with this.// I decide so, and get started on making the batter. As I'm working it, I reflect on yesterday's events. //These feelings I have, they are wrong. But I don't think it's simple lust. It's more than that.// When I'm done whisking the batter, I put the cast iron griddle pan on the induction stove and turn on the power, letting it heat up. I walk up the stairs and knock on my $girlRel's door. "Come in."

<> <<set $time = "10:00">> <<set $scene = "Hallway">> <<set $mode = "append">> <<set $opt1name = "Open door">> <<set $opt1incl = "DAY02.SCENE01.PATH1.PART2">> <<set $opt1init = "DAY02.SCENE01.PATH1.PART2.INIT">> <<include OPTIONS.INIT>> <<include UI.INIT>> <>

I open the door and walk inside. $girlName is wearing a towel. A towel only. I gulp. Her blonde hair is damp, and I can see the water droplets on her smooth, shaved legs. "I'm making pancakes, the batter's done so I'll be putting the first batch into the pan. "Thanks $boyNick, I'm hungry, I'll be down right away." She smiles happily as she sits down on her bed. I take a last look at her before turning away, moving downstairs. The griddle has heated up, and I oil it lightly. I wait for the oil to heat up and then pour a scoop of batter onto it. The appetizing scent of fried batter fills the air. Minutes later, I hear my $girlRel coming down the stairs. She moves to stand behind me and sniffs. "Smells good..." She opens the cabinets and starts setting the table. "Bring your plate, the first one's ready," I tell her, and she moves over, but without a plate. Instead, she opens the cabinet again and brings out a new dish. "I want to eat together with you, so I'll wait." I look at her, smiling. She's wearing a white tee, a small silver necklace, and a thigh-length black skirt. "Thanks. Get some tinfoil too then, so they'll stay warm." She nods and does so. I put the first pancake onto the plate and finish cooking the rest while my $girlRel stands behind me, watching the pancakes as they're cooked. In total, I bake eight pancakes, four for each of us.

We walk into the dining room and sit across from each other. In between us is the plate with pancakes, as well as the butter keeper and a syrup. I lift the tinfoil and motion for her to bring her plate close. I give her one pancake, then serve myself. We slather them in butter and syrup, then start eating. "Hmm, it's delicious."—She greedily devours her first pancake—"Thanks so much for breakfast, $boyName." //So messy...// I stare at her, as she licks the butter and syrup off her lips. She takes a second pancake, and her attack continues. "Swimming practice at the club again. Does Sarah want to come too today?" She looks up, her trance broken. "Yeah, she's coming, we'll have to pick her up." "Looking forwards to today's practice?" She smiles, "Yeah. I'll be wearing my techsuit today." We finish breakfast, and as we do, she tells me, "I'll clean up. As thanks for the delicious food."

I go up the stairs, into my room. I look for my swimming briefs and grab a towel, as well as my Malmsten swimming goggles. //We're pretty late.// I go into the hallway, then enter my $girlRel's room. //She must still be in the kitchen, I should grab her swimwear.// I open a drawer and look inside. //Socks.// I close it and open the next. //Underwear...// I quickly close it and move on. I'm not doing this for joy. //Where would she keep her swimsuits?// I keep opening drawers and start going through all the drawers in her dresser, but fail to find them. I move on to the wardrobe and open its doors. //Dresses, skirts, tees, and blouses.// And at the end of the line of clothes, her swimsuits. The first, a technical suit. //It's tiny.// Even for her slender frame, it looks way too small. Specially made for competition swimmers, it compresses the wearer's muscles, streamlines their posture, and most importantly, reduces their drag in the water. //It's amazing she fits inside that.// It's her first techsuit; today will be the third time she wears it. Usually, a swimmer wouldn't wear a techsuit when training. They're expensive and can only be worn a couple of times before failing. However, the plan is for her to wear one at the upcoming LSC Championship, so her coach wants her to get used to swimming in one. I grab it and pull on it. //Not very elastic at all.// The second swimsuit is a typical training swimsuit. It's way bigger and made from different materials. Made for comfort and durability, its made from thick nylon that is very stretchable. Unlike a techsuit, which needs to fit perfectly, training suits are basically one size fits all. They're made to last thousands of hours in the chlorinated water of a pool. I grab her swimming suits, her swim goggles, swim cap, and a towel for her, and put everything in my bag. I go downstairs again into the kitchen, where my $girlRel is just done loading the dishwasher, "I've grabbed your swimsuit and goggles, as well as towels. We're kinda late, so unless I'm forgetting something, we should leave."

I walk into the garage with my $girlRel in tow. Since we have to pick up her friend, Sarah, we need a four-seater. I've brought the keys for my $manShortRel's company car with me, a Tesla Model S. I put the bags with our swimwear and towels on the backseat and get into the driver's seat.

We drive out of the garage, passing the car I had abandoned in front of the door the day before. //If $manShortRel were home, he would have torn me a new one.// On the way to Sarah's house, we sit in silence that is only interrupted every so often for small talk. We're well underway, we've entered the suburbs she lives in. The GPS says we will arrive in about ten minutes. I tell my $girlRel, "Give her a call to tell her we're close." I pull into the driveway, and $girlName gets out of the car and walks to greet the girl. She's in the same grade as my $girlRel, a little older and a taller. She has auburn hair, tanned skin, and a pretty, round face with big brown eyes. She's wearing a short skirt and a tee. Compared to my $girlRel, she's certainly well-endowed. She has C-cup breasts and bubbly butt. The girls hug each other and walk towards the car. $girlName gets in the front seat again, and Sarah gets in the back. "Hey $boyName, thanks for picking me up." She smiles at me, I smile back and put the car into the drive when she's settled.

We resume our journey. My $girlRel's back is turned to the dashboard, and she is hanging over the divider, to talk with her friend. They chat about $education, going to the pool, their week, and thus our journey is a pleasant one. We soon near the pool.

I pull into the building's parking lot and park the car. Sarah takes our bags, and we walk into the pool building's foyer. Since the building belongs to my $girlRel's club, there is no need to sign in, and we head straight for the changing rooms.

I open the bag and retrieve my $girlRel's swimwear from it. I hand it to her and go into my own changing room. I remove my shoes, socks, and pants, and put it on a hanger. I take off my coat and tee as well, and as I remove the hanger from the wall to put my clothes on it, I notice light coming through it. //A hole.// I hear quiet chatter from the other side of the wall, the stall where my $girlRel and her friend are changing. I gulp. //A peephole, right into their booth.//

<> <<set $time = "12:33">> <<set $scene = "Changing Room">> <<set $mode = "replace">> <<set $options = "2">> <<set $opt1name = "Peek through the hole">> <<set $opt1incl = "DAY02.SCENE02.PATH1.PART4">> <<set $opt1init = "DAY02.SCENE02.PATH1.PART4.INIT">> <<set $opt2name = "Finish changing and get out">> <<set $opt2incl = "DAY02.SCENE02.PATH1.PART4.VAR1">> <<set $opt2init = "DAY02.SCENE02.PATH1.PART4.VAR1.INIT">> <<include OPTIONS.INIT>> <<include UI.INIT>> <>

I put my eye to the hole; I see Sarah. She's taking off her tee. The side I'm on is the side with the bench, that they're using to put their clothes down on. Under her tee, she's wearing a frilly bra. //What breasts...// She undoes the clasp and lets them free. She unbuttons the skirt and steps out of it, revealing her black thong. She first pulls it up, making it ride up her snatch. //Oh damn.// I feel myself get erect as I spy on my $girlRel's $education friend. She then starts taking it off, revealing her sex, covered by a trim and neat patch of auburn pubes. She leans forward—giving me a great view of her cleavage—and raises her leg to pull it off entirely. She moves out of view, and I hear her sit down on the bench. My $girlRel now takes the stage; she's already naked. She's facing away from me, towards the other wall. //Is she shy about her friend seeing her naked? Sarah seemed fine with it.// In her right hand is the techsuit. She opens up the neck-hole and puts her left leg through it. She takes the pipe up over her knees, and folds the rubber hems up. She then leans forward. Her legs look smooth as silk; there's not a hair in sight. //$WomanShortRel must have taught her how to shave. What a sight.// I see the bottom of her little slit, not a hair on it either. //She's shaving there too?// She puts her other leg through the neck-hole, folds the hems, and pulls it up to just under her knee. She then starts pulling and pinching at it, pulling it up inch by inch. It's now finally at her hips. //It looks way too small. How is that ever gonna fit?// She again starts pinching it and pulling at the seams. She jumps up and down but makes little progress. Minutes pass, and it's finally reached her butt. It's squeezing her flesh, making her butt appear larger. //Bigger, but... Not better, I think.// She then puts her hand in between her ass cheeks, grabs the swimsuit, and pulls it up. I can't tell if it moved or not. She crouches down, spreading her knees, and leans forward, giving me a great view of her ass. She stands up straight again, and jumps up, her hand still inside her ass's crack, pulling at the suit. I hear Sarah laugh and giggle, and I see my $girlRel get frustrated and angry. She keeps on pulling at it, jumping and crouching up and down. //It kind of looks like a dance. A very weird dance.// I almost start to laugh as well, but restrain myself. It finally moves over her hips, and she takes a short rest, sitting down on the bench in front of me. I can see just over her head, but I can't see much anymore. Sarah stands up again, still laughing, and has a bikini top and bottom in hand. She lifts her leg, slips on the bottoms, then quickly puts on the top while standing in front of my $girlRel. It takes her all of 40 seconds to get dressed. My sister seems to get more irate and stands up again. Sarah just keeps laughing. $girlName starts pinching at the suit again, and the suit moves up slowly but steadily until it's finally under her shoulder blades. She then turns around and talks to Sarah. Sarah gets up from the bench and stands hip to hip with her, taking one of the shoulder straps in her hands, and pulling at it while $girlName pulls her shoulder down, getting it under the strap. They turn around and work on the next strap. After much effort, the suit is on. At her back, the straps form an 'X'-shape. $girlName wiggles, and pulls a bit more at the straps, getting it to fit more comfortably. //I didn't realize getting it on was such a pain. I wonder how she does it when she's alone.//

//What am I thinking?// I shake my head and ignore the hole's allure. I get out of my clothes, then put on my swimming briefs. Having changed, I leave the stall, and wait for my $girlRel and her friend to finish changing. I wait, and wait. I hear laughing and giggling, and someone stamping their feet. //What are they doing?// I keep waiting and begin to grow tired. I knock on their stall's door and ask, "Is everything okay in there?" "Yes, it's just this stupid techsuit, it's so hard to get it on. We'll be done soon, sorry." my $girlRel tells me that, and soon after, I hear more laughing and giggling. I stand outside their boot, wondering just what is so funny, and wait for them to come out. After a long time, they come out. She looks at me and says, "Sorry that it took so long, but this thing really is impossible to get on in a hurry. I even had Sarah help me, and it still took forever." I smile and tell her, "It's no problem. We're still on time, let's just put our clothes away and hurry up." She and Sarah hand me their clothes, and I put them in the bag. I open a big locker and put our clothes inside.

I put on my own swimming briefs and head out of the changing booth. I wait until Sarah and $girlName come out of their stall. $girlName looks at me, and tells me, "I really hate this swimsuit. Sorry for making you wait." "It's almost one. We should hurry." I tell them as we unlock a large locker for our clothes.

We arrive at the showers. My $girlRel jumps under one, turning it on, getting her hair wet, washing herself quickly. As she puts on the swim cap and moves to leave the shower room, Sarah and I are just getting under one. "I'm going on ahead, I don't want to be late." She tells us as she leaves the room. Sarah and I are the only ones left. She stands under a shower on the opposite side of the room, straight across from me. Her bikini is quite revealing. We're the only ones in the room. My heart starts beating faster as I recall what her nubile breasts looked like. //Don't get erect, In a speedo, she'll see for sure.// I'm staring at her while in thought. She looks me in the eyes and smiles mischievously. She starts washing her body, rubbing her sides, stomach, slowly while looking me in the eyes. //What's she doing?// I begin to blush and feel myself get aroused. She pulls on her bikini a tiny bit, making it flush against her sex. She continues rubbing her stomach, moving up slowly, rubbing herself in circles. She gets to her breasts and moves her body back, letting the water flow through the valley in between them. //She's definitely doing this on purpose. Is she just trying to tease me, or what's going on.// Her gaze travels down my body towards my crotch. //Don't get hard. Don't get hard.// I try to calm down. I turn around and finish washing my body.

I move towards the Olympic pool. I try to make sense of what just happened. //She was definitely teasing me. But why?// I can't understand it. //Is it just to see how I'd react? And how did I react? I stared, sure, but that isn't the end of the world. At least, depending on what she does with it.// I arrive at the pool. I walk up to the lane reserved for $girlName, and approach her trainer. Sarah is trailing behind me. I haven't spoken her a word to her since that, and plan to just ignore her for now. "Hey Mike, how's she doing?" I ask the forty-something-year-old standing by the poolside. He's a tall man with a shaved head. He used to be an Olympic swimmer himself. "She's just doing laps to warm-up." I look around the pool; it has several lanes. Three of them are in use, with coaches training either individual students or small groups. Mike has been my $girlRel's coach for a few years, he visits us at home three times per week during the day, and she comes to the club's pool on Saturday. "I'm gonna swim laps too," Sarah tells me, and gets into the water, and starts swimming her laps in the lane next to $girlName's. It's an unused lane, so it's fine for her to swim there even though she is not a club member. "$boyName, we need to talk about something." Mike looks serious as he addresses me, "$girlName has the talent, and she's a hard worker. However, there is a problem." "A problem?" I ask, alarmed. "Yes, her motivation, the reason for competing. As I've trained with her over the last few years, I've come to know her well, and there is something that concerns me. She's aiming to become an Olympic swimmer. And yet, she lacks the drive that I see in other students." "Do you really think that? As far as I know, she really is serious. And she truly does work hard." I become defensive and try to defend her. "I know that she is. And yet, I am concerned. Getting a spot on the Olympic team is no small feat. If she truly wants to achieve it, she will need to dedicate even more of herself to it. But she doesn't seem hungry enough. And I believe it has to do with her motivation for competing." "But, what can we do about it?" //He's a great coach and an accomplished athlete. He must be right.// "That's what I'm thinking about. Unlike endurance or form, this is much harder to deal with. And I think you will be the key to it. I have seen how she leans on you, as much as I am her coach, you are too." "Me, a coach? Lean on me? What do you mean?" He looks at my surprised reaction and smiles. "I know that you believe that your role here is that of a parent. I know not the reason for it, and certainly, you are filling it. Splendidly I might add." I see that he means it and nod. "That's right. I've taken on that responsibility in their stead." I try, but fail to keep all of the anger and resentment out of my voice. //It's not that I resent them for foisting it on me. But I can't forgive the pain they've caused her, and are inflicting yet.// "I see your anger. And your resolve as well. However, you are wrong about something. You are more than that. Indeed, many of the pupils here, were brought here today by their parents, and their parents are watching them from the viewing area. And they motivate them. They encourage them to try their best. "But, when practicing, do you see them look to their fathers and mothers every time they finish an exercise, as she does to you? And do you see their parents here, standing at the poolside? No, you do not. "Whereas I am the other pupils' teacher of technical skill and oversee their physical development, I also oversee their mental shaping and serve as their most powerful motivator and support pillar. It may sound like an exaggeration, but I am closer to them than their parents. Their lives, day in day out, revolve around the schedule and plans I make for them. But with $girlName, it's a different story." He pauses, thinking for a while. I stay silent, waiting for him to continue. "I am her teacher, certainly. Under my guidance, she has attained great skill. I work with her on her fitness and make her training schedule. We are compatible and get along well. But when the going gets tough, she doesn't come running to me. In those moments, she looks to you, and with your support, she finds the strength needed to compete. And it's a good thing. But it means I cannot solve the problem we now face. "I need you to talk to her, about what competing means to her, and how far she is willing to go to reach the top. And if she is resolved to go for it, then I need you to take on an even heavier burden; I will need you to be her drill sergeant. You will need to hold her to an excruciating workout schedule. She will have no free time. She must eat what you tell her to, when you tell her to. She might very well come to hate you. So you need to ask yourself, are you prepared for that?" He sighs. And points at the water. My $girlRel is holding onto the pool's edge, looking at us. "I don't expect a response; just think about what I said to you. If you both decide to go for it, then I will give it my all too. I will give you a roadmap for her to stand at the summit in three year's time. She has the talent for it."

I walk up to the edge and drop into the water. I think about my conversation with the coach and let it weigh on my mind. I tell her, "I'll join you", and wait for her to kick off. I wait until she's about three-fifths through the pool, then kick off myself. After three laps, she's no longer in front of me, but rather behind me, and soon she passes me. //She's so fast.// I'm by no means a lousy swimmer myself, but compared to her, I'm nothing. //Well, of course, she's a competition level swimmer after all.// I swim after her, trying my hardest to keep up, going all out. She's doing breaststroke, focusing on her technique, not speed. As I swim behind her, I have a great view of her taut ass. //In this tight swimsuit, it looks even better. No wait, I shouldn't be thinking that way.// After about half an hour of swimming laps, I tire of it and get out of the water. I watch my $girlRel continue swimming and admire her graceful form, the way she cuts through the water with seemingly zero resistance. She reaches my side of the pool again and hangs onto the ledge. "Giving up already $boyNick?" She asks me, teasingly, then kicks off again. I watch her for a few minutes, how she swims laps, now doing a butterfly stroke. As she swims, the coach sometimes comments on her form. This time, when she reaches my end of the pool, she does a flip turn and continues doing laps.

I continue watching as she trains with Mike. She's no longer simply doing free laps, but is given specific strokes to practice. He has her do endurance training as well. Sarah gets out of the water, walks towards me, and stands next to me, and asks, "Hey. Done with your laps too?" "Yeah, I'm beat," I tell her, unsure of how to act. //Seems she's playing it cool.// We watch her training, and sit down on a bench on the poolside talking about our weeks and $girlName's training. The coach tells her to take a break, so she comes out of the water and sits down on the bench next to me. "Even though getting into this suit is a pain in the ass, it's worth it. It's amazing how much faster I've gotten." I nod, "Indeed. You're amazingly fast, there's no way for me to keep up at all." "I want to race. I feel like I'll beat my record today. I feel so full of energy, and in this suit, I'm sure I can do it." Sarah agrees whole-heartedly and tells her to go for it. "I'll time you, so let's do it." I encourage her, and she's all pumped up. //She does truly enjoy competing.// After the break, I go to the trainer and ask him for his stopwatch. $girlName gets onto the starting block, puts on her goggles, and secures them tightly, breathes in deeply, and looks at me. "On my mark. 3... 2... 1, GO!" I shout—and she dives. She cuts through the water, waving her legs underwater to further accelerate. She soon surfaces and crawls rapidly, but rhythmically. Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, breath. Left, right, left, right, left, right, left, breath. She reaches the end of the pool and does a flip turn. She pushes off hard and continues crawling. //34.826 seconds on the stopwatch.// She continues to accelerate even further. "Wow, she's fast!" Sarah exclaims excitedly and cheers her on. 25 meters left. She slides through the water, advancing quickly, and touches our side. //Stop.// She pulls herself onto the poolside and looks at me anxiously. "Did I do it?" "68.782 seconds." She gasps and pulls herself onto the side entirely. "I did it. I really did it. I knew it." She runs to Sarah and me and grabs our hands—jumping into the air while holding them. "I did it. I really did it." "Congrats, $girlName, you're incredible. You looked beautiful as you glided through the water, like a mermaid. I'm sure $boyName agrees." Sarah tells her, looking at me as she says it. //What's she playing at? Is she making fun of me?// "That's right. You were incredible. I'm so proud of you and how hard you worked for this." I tell her, and she smiles brightly. Mike walks over to us, "I see you're getting used to swimming in a technical suit. What's her time?" I tell him, and he gets excited himself. "Congratulations $girlName. You're under seventy seconds now! Hard work does pay off." $girlName smiles, and nods, agreeing. Mike has a stern look on his face as he continues, "However, don't let up on your training now. You should aim to get under a minute as soon as you can. You have three years. It sounds long, but before you know it, the US Olympic Trials will be upon you. To stand a chance, there's a long road ahead." "Yes! Of course! I will keep training, I won't slack." She proclaims confidently. I smile, so proud of her. Sarah next to me whispers, "She's amazing. I wish I had a dream like that, and the drive to see it through." //Drive, huh? I guess I really do need to talk to her. Tonight.// He nods, his face relaxes and becomes gentle as he continues, "I know you can do it. For today, you have done enough however. Rest is part of training too, so go and enjoy yourselves." The tension leaves her body, and she sits down on the bench, panting. "The adrenaline is leaving my body now, and suddenly I feel so tired. And I want to get out of this suit already. It truly is a pain."

The coach laughs, and waves us goodbye as we move towards the changing room to get rid of the suit. "Sarah, can you come inside and help me with the straps?" I stand outside the stall's door, waiting for them to come out. Sarah comes out first and stands next to me. "Her getting into that suit, it was a sight to see." "Yes, I do believe I heard you cackling and laughing," I tell her, and she laughs. "You have no idea. Words cannot describe it. It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life." <<if $D2S2P4V1 != true>>//Well, I don't disagree. I doubt I'll forget what I saw either...// I look at Sarah, who's standing next to me, at her bikini, and recall what I saw when I peeked through that hole. //Wait. Have I just accepted spying on my $girlRel and her friend like it's normal? When did that happen? Shouldn't I feel guilty?// As I stand there waiting for my $girlRel to finish changing, I think it over. //It is odd that I feel no guilt. Is it because I mostly spied on Sarah, and not my $girlRel? But even then, I should feel guilty, right?//<<else>> //I wonder what she means.// I look at Sarah, who's standing next to me, at her bikini, and wonder what she looks like under it. //Am I really perving on my $girlRel's best friend?//<</if>> "A penny for your thoughts." Sarah looks at me, slight puzzlement in her eyes. //Fuck, I was staring.// I feel myself blushing as I'm caught, and look away, anxiously. "It-it's nothing. I was just in thought." I try to keep the panic from my voice. She looks at me, and I see a mischievous glint within her eyes. "I wonder what about..." //She's teasing me again. Why does she keep doing it? Just for kicks?// She smiles as she sees my reaction, and continues, "Did you know, in Europe, before going into the pool, they all shower naked as a group?" At that moment, the stall opens, and my $girlRel comes out, now wearing her training suit. She looks at us, and seems to notice something. She watches Sarah for a second, with questions in her eyes. She holds up the techsuit in her hand and sighs. "I'm so glad to be out of this thing. It's crazy how uncomfortable wearing it is. Luckily next practice is the last time I'll be wearing one until the meet." "We're gonna have to go shopping for a new one, you can pick whichever one you want as a reward for beating your record." She smiles cheerfully, "Awesome, I've been looking into it already, and have some ideas." "That's awfully generous of you $boyName," Sarah tells me. "Well, it's not like I'm the one paying for it." //That's right. Managing my $girlRel's swimming career too is a job our $manwomanToboygirlRel gave to me. They never show up for practice or meets, and only care about the medals she comes home with. They think giving me an unlimited budget is support enough. It pisses me off, thinking money is a substitute for love.// "What's wrong, $boyNick?" $girlName is looking at me concerned. It seems my face had taken on a scary expression. I quickly relax it and smile at her. "It's nothing. Let's go have some fun."

We head towards the smaller, shallower, and warmer practice and exercise pool. We get into the water—$girlName puts her hand on my shoulder, and says, "Did you know? The reason the warm-up pool is so warm, is that everyone pees in it." "$girlName, gross!" Sarah shouts, and $girlName laughs. "Well, I'm joking. But trust me, during meets, everyone pees in it." She keeps laughing as she looks at my and Sarah's horrified faces. "Swimmers really are gross," Sarah says in a serious voice. "That's right. They really are." I say while nodding in agreement. We are nearly at the center of the pool. I look at the girls, and ask, "So, what shall we do?" I look at my $girlRel, "I bet you're tired, right. Perhaps, some tag"—I swim up to her and touch her on her shoulder—"and you're it!" I swim away quickly. Sarah scatters, in the other direction. My $girlRel ignores Sarah entirely and immediately chases after me. I breast crawl away at full speed, kicking hard and sending water splashing into her face. But she's gaining on me, fast. Seconds later, she's upon me. She grabs me by the ankle, "You're it." She turns around and swims away. //She's too fast, Sarah is my target.// I look around the pool, and see Sarah hiding in a faraway corner. I start swimming towards her. She swims away; she's a decent swimmer, but no match for my larger physique. I quickly get close to her, but she doesn't give up. She dives under the water and tries to escape that way. //I just need to wait for her to come up. No need to waste the energy.// About ten seconds later, she resurfaces, not far from me. I grab her by the wrist and tell her, "You're it." I swim away quickly, and she chases after me. But I'm faster. I stay out of range, swimming circles around the small exercise pool. $girlName watches this, then swims over, to Sarah. Sarah is panting heavily. I'm getting tired too. //Shit, now I see what she's up to. She's gonna let Sarah tag her! And she has been resting all this time, there's no way I'm gonna escape.// $girlName swims straight to Sarah, "He's a real bully that $boyRel of mine. I'll get him for you." //I knew it.// Using the last of my energy, I swim away as quick as I can. But my $girlRel is fresh and chases after me at full speed. //I need a plan.// The distance between us shrinks rapidly. //If she gets me, and escapes, I'll never catch her again. Sure, I can chase Sarah, but $girlName will just let herself get tagged, and I'll be back to square one.// She's only seconds away. //If I can't avoid being caught, I'll just have to catch her at the same time.//

I suddenly come to a stop and wait for $girlName to tag me. She swims into me, grabbing my shoulder, "You're i—" I grab her by the ankle as she tries to swim away, and pull her back. "Wrong $girlShortRel, you're it." She struggles free and pushes me away. She turns around, trying to escape. I quickly grab her wrist and pull her back. "Not so fast." The game of tag suddenly turns into a wrestling match. She pushes on my shoulders, trying to push me under. I grab her by her thigh and pull her down with me. She slips out from my grasp, and continues drowning me. I grab her by her wrists and pull her down, hard. Now free, I go up for air. She surfaces as well and starts trying to push me under again. I fight back, pushing her down instead. I'm panting hard as I'm growing weary. She keeps fighting me, escaping my hold, and she gains the upper hand. I'm pushed under, and she keeps me there. I escape down, diving deeper and swim under her feet. I'm now behind her, where I surface. I grasp on to her body, holding her tight, my left arm wrapped around her waist, my right around her chest. She struggles, trying to break free. I hold her tighter, pressing her body against mine. //Her body feels so nice.// "$girlName, I'm beat. I surrender." I tell her, still holding on to her. I'm enjoying the embrace. She relaxes and doesn't try to escape. "That was fun. I'm tired too." Sarah swims up to us, looking at me, hugging my $girlRel. "She seriously tried to drown you, huh? She's scary." Sarah says, feigning horror. I let go and move away from her back. We are now in a triangular formation. "So, what next?"

"On the other end of the pool, there's pressure jets." $girlName says and points towards it. "Sure, let's get a massage." We swim over, there are two jets. I let the girls go first. They put their backs in front of the water stream, holding on to the pool's edge to not get blown away. "Ah-h-h th-h-aat fee-ls nice." $girlName has difficulty speaking due to the intense pressure. Sarah sits there for about half a minute, but then moves away. "The pressure's a bit too much for me to bear." She makes space for me, and I move over to the jet next to my $girlRel. The strong pressure pushes on my back. It's on the edge of hurting. I feel blood start to rush to my back and relax. We sit there for a couple of minutes, quietly, enjoying the massage. My $girlRel lets go of the pool's edge, and says, "You know what's fun as well? Seeing how far you can get." She kicks off from the wall, following the flow of water, and in a couple of seconds, she nearly reaches the other side. She waves and yells, "See? So fast." Sarah moves over the jet and tries it as well. She gets about half as far. I get into position as well, feeling the strong water pressure on my ass. I push off, hard. I try to get my body into the best position, trying to reduce drag to a minimum. I end up in between my sister and Sarah. "Guess I really can't beat you. Let's go again." We keep competing to see who can go the furthest, but the results don't change. //I guess technique is paramount. I'm stronger, but she has better posture and is smaller, so there's less resistance.// We keep playing around in the water for a while, until it's time.

"It's about time we go home," I tell the girls, and we get out of the water. We walk to the shower room and wash ourselves, trying to get rid of the chlorine. When it's done, we move towards the changing rooms. I open the locker, and we grab our clothes and towels. They take their clothes and get into an empty stall. I go towards the one to the left of it.

I take off my wet swimming briefs and wring them. I take the towel and dry myself off. I sit down on the bench on the left side of the stall and dry off my feet. //Tonight I'll have to talk to her, as the coach said. And what's up with Sarah? She kept teasing me today.// I think about what happened today. How I spied on her, how she gave me a show while showering. How she caught me staring her breasts, but smiled and talked about showering naked, together. //Just what is going on with that girl.// She is cute, a real looker. We've always gotten along well. I feel myself get horny, and my penis hardens. //She's my $girlRel's best friend. Even thinking about her this way, it's totally out of line.// That may be right. But my body doesn't listen, it doesn't care. //Is it really that bad, though? She obviously enjoys it. Why can't I enjoy it too? Right. I should enjoy it. I'm a healthy, young male with a healthy sex-drive; of course, I'll be attracted to a pretty girl with ample breasts and ass. And if she then tries to entice me and comes on to me, who can blame me for falling for her?// My cock is getting harder and harder and now stands fully erect. I think back on the show she gave me. //What would have happened if I got hard there?// I remember how she looked at my crotch. //How would she react, when she sees a tent in my briefs.// I imagine her seeing it, and smiling at me. How she lets the water roll off her perfect breasts and starts fondling them, looking me in the eye as she does it. I move over to her side of the room, my erect cock standing straight, itching to get out of my briefs—I hear giggling coming from my $girlRel's stall.

I ignore the giggling and envision how she welcomes me, embracing and kissing me. How her breasts feel against my chest, and how my cock feels pressed against her stomach. I stroke myself furiously, and imagine grabbing her ass as we kiss, kneading it and pulling her closer, grinding my swollen sex against her. How she would kiss me, rub my back and fondle my ass, and then start kissing my neck, chest and move down slowly, while pulling on my swimming breifs, displacing them and revealing my erect cock. How she would continue kissing my body as she got down lower, getting on her knees in front of me. How she looks up at me, smiling, as she kisses my tip. Licking it, going down the shaft. How she fondles my balls and jacks me off. I imagine it's her hand I'm feeling, pulling on my cock. How she takes my member inside her mouth—I grab my briefs from beside me and cum into them. //Shit, bad idea. Well, it's going in the washer anyway.// I sit on the bench, panting, letting the waves of pleasure roll into me. I get up and start getting dressed. //Shit, I hope they're not wondering what's taking me so long.// I quickly get dressed, dry my feet a final time, and put on my socks and shoes.

I get out of the stall, and I'm the first one there. //Guess I was worried for nothing. Good.// Not long after, my $girlRel and Sarah come out of their booth and join me. The realization that I just jacked off, feet away from them, while thinking about my $girlRel's best friend strikes me. //It's so wrong. But, it excites me as well.// We leave the building, and in the parking lot, Sarah comes over to me and hugs me. "Thanks for taking me. I had a lot of fun today."

I get into the driver's seat, push on the brakes, and put the car in drive. My $girlRel sits in the front seat, and Sarah in the back. We drive off to bring Sarah home. Once again, my $girlRel is hanging over the divider with her back to the windshield, to talk with her friend. They talk about their plans for the week, their homework, and my $girlRel's goals and ambitions. "In two months, there's an important meet. The LSC Championship. I need to train hard, and do well there. Then at the end of September, the Eastern Zone Championship will be held, and to do well there, I'll need to train even harder." "I'm sure you can do it. You were amazing today. I'll be in the stands, cheering you on for sure." I listen and smile at their excited conversation. //She's a good friend, her best friend. I'm such a bastard, thinking of her in such a lewd way.// Angry with myself, I keep driving.

I pull into Sarah's driveway, and she and my $girlRel get out of the car. Sarah waves to me, and they walk to the door. They stand there talking and laughing for a while, then hug each other. $girlName gets back in the car, looking at me. I look back at her. She looks down, and stares out of the window. I pull out of the driveway and continue driving home. We sit in silence for a while, until my $girlRel suddenly asks, "What do you think about Sarah?" //Think about her? In what way?// I'm confused, and answer, "She's a nice girl. Energetic, and full of pranks." My sister looks at me now, thinking. "Have you noticed, that she likes you, at all?" My heart starts beating faster. //Did Sarah tell her what happened today? No way, right?// I start to blush and panic. "She likes me?" My sister nods. "She does. So what do you think of her?" "She's your best friend. There's no way. It doesn't matter what I think." I look forward and focus on the road again, trying to avoid this conversation. //I guess she didn't tell her about what happened.// My $girlRel pouts and sighs deeply. "So what if she is my friend? I want to know what you think of her. She's pretty, right? She has"—she hesitates for a second—"big breasts. And a nice ass. She's really popular with the boys at $education." She looks down now and seems a little sad. //What brought this on?// I look at her and ask, "Did she ask you to talk to me about this?" "No, she didn't. If she knew I did, she wouldn't like it either. But she talked about it with me. And I care for her. And for you, so if you like her, that's okay, don't say no because of me." She looks at me now, and I see that she means it. "You're right. She's an amazing girl; A nice face, a nice figure, and a loving personality. But she's $ageDiff years my junior. Even if she weren't your best friend, for me to even say this much, it is inappropriate." My sister shakes her head, and says flippantly, "Who cares about that. What matters are feelings, not logic and reason. You don't have a girlfriend, do you? And I know that, it's my fault. So don't say no to a good thing with such a lame excuse." "What are you talking about? Your fault? That's crap, don't say stupid things like that." "No, it's not. It's the truth. It is my fault. Just like today, or yesterday, or any other day, I take all your time and energy. You cook for me. You bring me to $education or practice and accompany me to meets"—she clenches her fist, and her voice trembles—"You help me with my training. You help me with my homework. You do the grocery shopping, and buy my clothes. You take care of the paperwork, for when I need to miss $education, and when I need to sign up for a meet. You do all that, and there's nothing I can do but accept it." My chest tightens, and I firmly say, "I do all that, not because I have to. I do it because I want to. As your friend, as your $boyRel. So don't ever think I find it a bother, or regret doing any of it. Don't say such stupid things, you'll make me mad." She looks at me and smiles. "O-okay, sorry, $boyNick"—she pauses for a second—"Still, I'd like you to ask her out. She really likes you a lot, and I don't care if you think you're too old for her. Girls don't think like that." The conversation falls quiet, and we silently drive until we reach our house. I stop outside the front gate and let my $girlRel out. "I still need to go grocery shopping. Can you take the clothes inside?" She nods and gets out of the car, taking the bag of clothes with her. I drive towards the grocery store and do the shopping. //What should I cook tonight?//

I park the car in the garage, then get out, and park the other car that I had abandoned the day before, too. I take my groceries inside and think back on what the coach told me. //Perhaps I don't know enough about nutrition. I think I'm starting to see what he means. Despite her training nearly daily, three training sessions at home with the coach, and weekly swim practice at the club's pool, there's more that can be done. Her diet is not yet optimized. I don't have the knowledge or the skill to take care of that. She has the coach here for six hours a week, but she practices much more than that. Perhaps with more guidance, it could be more efficient?// I think about these matters as I unpack the groceries. I go to my room after that and start researching things on my computer. About the lives of other pro swimmers. And how I can do more. //Yes, tonight I need to talk with her. We need to have a serious conversation about her future, about what she wants to do with her life.//

I continue researching things behind my computer, surprised about some of the stories; About depression, loneliness, and the sacrifices required to reach the top. //Is this truly what is best for her?// I keep reading, starting to feel scared. And horrified as I read about the widespread sexual abuse of female swimmers—often minors—by coaches and other officials. //Is this truly the best path for her future?// I shiver. //$girlName is a pretty girl. I think I can trust Mike, but there will be many other people close to her, who can take advantage.// I get the desire to leave my room and go to my $girlRel. To see her, to make sure she's safe. //How horrible... How horrible people are. We really do need to talk tonight. But it will be her choice. And if she decides that she wants to see it through, then I need to be there. To protect her from monsters like that. But, aren't I a danger to her myself? The way I've been feeling, the way I've been acting the past few days, maybe I'm the most dangerous person to her?// I shake my head firmly. //No. That can't be true. I love her, more than anything.// I try to convince myself of that, but my hands are shaking. //I would never do anything to hurt her, what am I even thinking about.// I get up, my knees are shaking. //Never, never would I hurt her.//

I leave my room stumbling. I knock on her door. I feel nauseous. The world is spinning before my eyes. I'm sweating, my heart is beating rapidly. I feel hot, and my chest hurts, I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack. //What's happening. I'm scared.// I open her door and barge inside. She's sitting at her desk and looks up at me. She sees my expression and stands up, moving over to me. "What's wrong?" She sounds concerned, and fear fills her eyes. "Are you okay, $boyNick?". She takes my hand, and guides me to her bed. "Sit down." My face feels like it's burning. I can hardly breathe. My legs shake, and I tremble. She's looking at me, scared. I reach for her, hugging her and pulling her tight, burying my head into her shoulder, and tears begin to roll down my cheek. //She's okay. She's safe.// She stands there, frozen, and wraps her arms around me, hugging me back. "It's okay, $boyName. What's wrong?" //I would never hurt her. I could never.// I pull her even tighter and feel myself relax. I let out sobs of relief as we embrace each other. I let go of her and sit down, my legs weak. "I'm sorry, $girlName. I don't know what happened. I was just so scared all of a sudden, I could hardly breathe." She sits down next to me, snuggling up to me, hugging me. "It's okay. You're okay." "Thanks... I'm sorry for the embarrassing sight, and scaring you." "It's okay, or rather, there's nothing to feel bad about." She keeps holding on to me, and I hate myself, for scaring her. //She's okay. She's going to be okay.// And for doubting myself, believing even for a second that I could hurt her. A few minutes pass as she quietly embraces me on her bed. I get up, and stand in front of her. "Really, I am sorry. But happy too, to have a $girlRel like you. I need to get started on dinner. I'm making risotto for you." She smiles, "I love your risotto. And I'm happy you're my $boyRel too." She hugs me again, and I leave her room.

I arrive in the kitchen and get started. Ideally, I would have made stock myself, but I had no time. So I bought some vegetable stock from the grocer. I start by dicing onions finely. I warm the pan, a deep one, and pour some olive oil in it, along with some butter. When the oil is hot enough, I add the onions. I get the rice ready and measure the amount needed, making sure to wash it thoroughly. I stir the onions every now and then, for about 15 minutes. As I do so, I head into the cellar, and retrieve a bottle of white wine. I then add the rice to the pan, baking it for about three minutes, until it is translucent. I add the wine, just enough to cover the rice and let it cook off. When the wine is all but gone, I add the stock. While the stock is simmering, I get started on preparing the piece of fish, a filet of striped bass. //Whitefish, in particular, goes well with mushroom risotto.// I prepare the mushrooms as well, slicing them evenly. And last, I take the broccoli and prepare it to be cooked. I keep adding stock and stirring the risotto. I take out the parmesan cheese and grate some of it. When the risotto starts to come together, with about 10 minutes of adding stock and simmering left, I throw the mushrooms into the pan. I also warm the skillet, to fry the bass. And in another pan, I have water and salt with the broccoli. Ten minutes later, dinner is nearly done. To finish off the risotto, I turn off the heat, and add butter and the parmesan cheese, and stir it well. //Now it needs to rest three minutes. Let's go get $girlName.// I go upstairs and knock on her door. "Dinner's ready." I go back down and set the table. My $girlRel comes down the stairs and sits down in her usual spot. I serve the risotto, broccoli, and bass, and sit down to eat. "As always, it's delicious." I smile and nod. //I need to tell her that we have to talk.// "$girlName, we need to talk about something, later tonight. Something serious." She looks at me, puzzled. Then nods. "Of course, let me know when." As such, dinner proceeds smoothly, and we soon finish eating.

We finish eating, and load the dishwasher together. As I'm about to go up the stairs, to go to my room to do homework, my $girlRel stops me and tells me, "Have you showered yet?" "No, I haven't." I look at her, puzzled. //Why does she ask?// "You really should shower. Chlorine is terrible for your hair." She smiles at me, and continues after hesitating for a second. "You know about the shower in the master bathroom, right?" "You mean that shower wall? Yeah, I've seen it when they had it installed." She smiles mischievously, and asks, "And, have you ever tried it?" I shake my head, "No, I have not." "Then, should we try it? It's not often that they're gone. I also still need to shower." //Wait, shower together? Naked? No, of course not, naked.// "I'm not sure we should be showering together..." I tell her, acting responsibly. "What? We used to shower and bathe together when we were kids all the time." She looks at me as if she can't understand what I'm talking about. "$girlName, you're no longer a child. For us to shower together... It isn't right." She shrugs, and tilts her head and asks, "Why? I don't really see the problem. Then, we'll just wear our swimsuits, and it will be no different from swimming together." //Wait, she was talking about showering together, naked? Is she crazy?// She looks at me questioningly. //Well, she has a point. There wouldn't be much difference, and I am kind of interested in that shower.// "Okay then, fine," I tell her, not entirely sure of myself. //I'm not making a mistake, am I?//

We go up the stairs, going into our rooms. I undress and get in one of my old swimming briefs. I go into the hallway, and wait for my $girlRel to come out of her room. I don't have to wait long. She soon comes out, wearing one of her old training suits. We go into our $manwomanToboygirlRel room, and then into their bathroom. Inside their bathroom, there is a big bath and a big, circular shower room with a glass door. Inside, on the walls of the showers, are many jets and nozzles. "Wow... So many heads and jets." My $girlRel is excited and gets into the shower. I walk in after her, and close the door behind us. I look around. In the ceiling, at the center of the room, is a large panel. In the walls, surrounding me, are all kinds of nozzles and jets. Three jets, at knee level, for the legs, at 90° intervals. A little bit higher is another set of 3 jets, this time at back level. //I see. You stand in the middle, facing the door.// On the edge of the door, on either side, are jets as well. A set at knee level, and one at head level, but aimed downwards to point at your chest. There's also a hand-held showerhead, as well as more jets for your back. And angled ones one for your neck. "It's quite amazing. Let's turn it on." She nods excitedly, and we look at the control panel. I look at her and laugh, "It's like a spaceship." We turn gauges, at random, and things start happening. We soon get the hang of it, and everything is turned on. We stand in the shower, with water raining down on our heads. From all sides, we are massaged by jets. We can control their pressure and temperature. Steam fills the room, the warmth and the powerful streams of water massaging us are quite pleasant. We switch position every so often, alternating between the set of jets that serve us. I start lathering myself up with soap, making sure to clean myself quite well. My $girlRel does the same. As she does so, I watch her. She starts with her legs and moves up slowly, a bar of soap in one hand, a washcloth in the other. I watch as she pulls down the bathing suit at her crotch and gets the bar of soap into the suit, washing her stomach. I gulp and turn around, not wanting to take advantage. She sees this and smiles. "A one-piece swimsuit is kind of a pain when washing." //She doesn't seem to mind me being in here with her. She must trust me, as a $boyRel. But I won't hate myself any longer. I must accept that I've begun seeing her in a different light; As a beautiful woman. But, I can never let her know. Or act on any of it. That much is certain.// We continue lathering up, our backs to each other. I'm enjoying the jets, the steam, and the warmth of my $girlRel's back. After some time, she turns around and tells me, "I'll wash your back." I stand perfectly still, and feel her hands on my flesh. She rubs my back with the bar of soap, gently lathering it up. She then washes it with the washcloth, giving it a good scrub.

"That was nice, do you want me to wash yours as well?" I feel shy, but I ask it nonetheless. //Treat kindness with kindness, was it?// She nods, and turns her back to me. I take the hand-held showerhead and direct the water to her back. I start lathering it up, gently rubbing circles, and wash it off. "Wearing a one-piece to a shower was a bad idea after all,"—she lifts up one of her straps, letting it fall to her side—"there's no point in washing myself, if my entire body is covered by it." I gulp. //Oh no. No, no.// She lowers the training suit slowly, until it is at her hips. "Please, wash my back." She asks while facing away from me. I hesitate, but lather her up in the end. //It's fine. I can't see anything, I'm just helping her wash up.// I continue gently rubbing her back, and feel the muscles lying under her skin. //So soft, yet firm.// I wash her with the washcloth, and rinse her off. She thanks me for washing her, and pulls the swimsuit back up. She turns around to face me, and tells me, "I'm finished, so I'll leave you be and get dried off.// She leaves the shower, leaving me by myself. //I haven't washed under my briefs yet, I couldn't do that with her around.// I slip them off and lather up. I take the hand-held showerhead, and rinse off. I'm enjoying the warmth and the steam, and stay under the shower for a while longer. Suddenly, the door opens. //What?// And my $girlRel comes back in. "I totally forgot to wash my hair." As she turns the corner, and I turn around to look, and stand before her naked. She blushes and turns around. "Sorry, I didn't think you would be naked." I quickly put on my briefs again. //Shit. I knew it was a mistake, I got too comfortable.// "I'll wash my hair quickly, then get out." Feeling slightly awkward, I nod, and let her get to it. I wash my own hair as well, and we finish at the same time. I turn off the shower, and we leave the room. I take a towel and offer her one too. She shakes her head and tells me, "I don't feel entirely clean yet, it must be because I was wearing a suit, so I'll shower some more." She laughs and continues, "Plus, I really want to use this shower some more. It's amazing, I wish I could use it every time." "That's fine, of course. I have some more homework left to do, but how about we watch some more Breaking Bad in about an hour?"

I go into my room and get into my pajamas. I sit behind my writing desk, and get started on my exercises. While I'm writing, I begin to think about the conversation I'm about to have with her, what to say, and in what way. //I should probably also explain a little about that, incident, earlier today.// I sigh. //Life's getting complicated. Thinking this much about things won't help me get any further.// Deciding to focus on my work, I do so, and finish my exercises. When I'm done, I head towards my $girlRel's room. I knock on her door. No response. I knock harder, no response. //Deja vu. What's it this time?// I grab the knob and pull the door open—it's empty. I look around. //What's going on.// I walk back out of her room, and look around. //Wait, is she still in the shower?// I go to my $manwomanToboygirlRel' room, entering it. I knock on the bathroom door, but there's no response. //She's not in there?// I open the door and hear water running. I scream, "$girlName! You in there?" I see the door open, and an arm comes out. "Give me a towel." She asks me, and I give it to her. I hear the water turn off, and she takes the towel into the cabin. I wait outside, and she comes out, wearing her towel. "Have you really been in here all that time?" I sound a little upset and tell her, "Showering that long really isn't good for you." She looks to the ground, "Sorry, you're right. I was just having so much fun, the jets, they're amazing. I'm definitely sneaking in there in the future." She takes a deep breath, looks up straight, and says, "Okay. Let's go and watch TV."

$girlName goes into her room, and I go downstairs. I dim the lights and turn on the television. While I am in the kitchen, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. //That's fast.// I grab a carafe and fill it with water, a coke bottle from the fridge, and two glasses. My $girlRel is already laying on the couch. I put the carafe, coke, and glasses on the table. She raises her feet, and I sit down under them. She lowers them again, resting them on my thigh. //Wait, she's not wearing pajamas.// I look at her neck. //I don't see a shirt.// She sees me looking, and I ask, "Are you not wearing your pajamas?" "They're in the washer. I didn't want to make you wait while I looked for another pair, so I came down in my towel." I gulp. //She says it like it's normal. But basically, I'm sharing a blanket with her while she's naked.// I try to put it out of my mind. //I should talk with her now. No point putting it off any longer.//

I look at her, and she notices me looking. She sits up straight as she sees my expression. "We need to have that talk I mentioned earlier." She shifts nervously and answers, "Of course. What do we need to talk about?" "It's nothing bad. It's about you swimming. I wanted to ask you, why do you want to compete? I think I have some idea, but I'd like to hear it from you. There are some things we need to talk about." She nods, and sits quietly for a while, collecting her thoughts. "Okay. The reason I started swimming is, me being good at it. And $womanRel praised me, she called me smart and told me that she was proud of me, the teachers also told me I was such a quick learner. "After that, I put more effort into it. And got better, and kept improving. When I won my first medal, both $womanShortRel and $manShortRel celebrated with me. They put it up for display, and showed it to all their colleagues." She pauses, and looks down. "I felt truly loved then. So I wanted to win more medals. I thought to myself, 'If I qualify for that meet, they will come and watch me.` When that didn't happen, I said, `I'll just need to aim higher, they'll surely come then.` That is why I started swimming, I think." I feel my heart break. //Those bastards. I thought it might be something like this, but I didn't know that she knew it herself.// $girlName sees my expression, the anger within it, and smiles. "It makes you angry, huh? Yes, it pissed me off too. And I used that anger to motivate myself, and get even better." I grab her hand, and tell her, "If that is the only reason you're swimming, you should stop. Or at least, swim for fun, at a lower level. Your life doesn't need to revolve around swimming alone. There are loads of things in life. Other hobbies, boys." She smiles and looks me straight in the eyes, full of conviction. "I said that that is the reason I started swimming. It isn't the reason anymore. In truth, I don't care if they come and see me swim, or if they praise me. I'm no longer doing it for them. I do it for myself. "I know that I'll never be as popular as Sarah."—she sighs and looks down—"Boys, they want good looking girls; Taller, more adult looking girls with larger breasts and ass. Not a girl like me. But that's fine, I've accepted it. I'm loving the competition, beating my personal bests, winning medals. I want to become even better and even faster." //She's serious. But she's also wrong.// I'm still holding her hand, and I tell her, "I understand. But those boys are the childish ones"//—Shit, what am I saying.—//"trust me. You're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. In a few years, when you're on national television, they'll realize how stupid they have been." She blushes and looks down. "Thanks, I won't worry about it." //Shit, that isn't really what I wanted to talk about with her, but at least she doesn't seem to be taking it too badly.

"But, that isn't all that I wanted to talk with you about. You said your dream was to swim in the Olympics. To do that, you need to come first in the Olympic Trials in three years. How far are you willing to go for that?" "I'll do anything for it. I know that it will be hard, but I want to try. I need to give it my best, or I'll regret it for the rest of my life." I nod. "Right. You're right, it will be hard. Much harder than you think. But we can do it. You have the talent, and we have the means to utilize your talent, and to achieve your dream. I want to help you with it. In three years' time, I want to see you stand on the starting blocks in Tokyo. But I need to know, how involved do you want me to be in it?" She looks at me strangely, "How involved? How do you mean?" I look down, //I need to be truthful. For the sake of her dream, I can't lie, even if it hurts to tell her this.// I look back up, into her eyes, sincerity filling my voice as I tell her, "It would probably be best for me to take a backseat now. We can hire more coaches to help you with your training. Mike is good, but he's here only six hours a week. We can also hire a nutritionist and a chef. As well as personal trainers and sports psychologists. And private tutors and educators to ease the academic burden. An agent and lawyers to negotiate with the club, league, and sponsors—" "No! No way! If that's what you mean, then no, I don't want that at all. What you said, about me standing on the starting blocks in Tokyo in three years, I agree with that. But it's not my dream. My dream is to stand there with you at my side. If you're not there, in Japan, behind me, watching me from the poolside as I swim in the most important event of my life, then I don't even want it. And I'd quit now." She's crying, screaming at me. I pull her towards me and hold her tight. Tears flow down my cheek as I hold her. The blanket is no longer covering her upper body, and she's basically naked now; Wearing just a towel wrapped around her back. But she nor I pay it any mind. "I understand. I understand $girlName." //I will make it happen, at any cost. 'She might come to hate me,' was it? You may be right, Mike. But I'll take it.// We let go of each other, and she gets back under her blanket, covering herself as she blushes slightly. "With that decided, there is one more thing we need to talk about. It's related to that, that incident with me, earlier today. You've really only had Mike as a coach, and I trust him. I believe he's a good man that cares. But not all coaches and officials are like him. "As you go higher, you will spend more time with other men; Men with power and authority, who can impact your career. Swimming is rife with men who seek to take advantage of that power"—I shift uncomfortably but continue—"$girlName, you're a pretty girl, they might seek to take advantage of you, sexually. So if they try to threaten you, or if they do something to you, you need to come to me, right away, and tell me, no matter how scary or embarrassing it is." She blushes and stammers, "Of-of course, I'll tell you." //Good. I'm probably worried about nothing, but it just scares me so much.// "Then we've decided. Tomorrow, I'll make all the arrangements, or well, as much as is possible on a Sunday. It also means that your training will go to a new level. The people I mentioned before, we'll still hire them, but they won't take my place. They'll just support me. I'll also have to speak to our $manwomanToboygirlRel when they're back and ask them for more money. For the sake of your dream, I'm going to have to push you harder than ever before. "And when you feel like you can't take it anymore and you're about to break, you will have to come to me, and talk with me. But I won't relent, and I will make you push harder. You're going to have to follow my and the coaches' orders. I will plan your days in detail, down to the minute. You will not have a social life or friends. Your life will revolve around four things, and four things only: Practice, eating, learning, and sleeping. You won't have time or energy for anything else." She nods and tells me, "I accept that. I know it will be hard. Excruciatingly hard. But if you tell me that it is needed to achieve my dream, I will obey. And I will exceed your expectations." "Good. Then we're done talking, let's watch some TV." She smiles, and I start the episode. Time goes by as we sit in silence. I'm still holding her hand, and she makes no move to let go either. The season ends, and we sit there pensively. //I guess we're both thinking about the future.// I finally let go of her hand and tell her it's time for bed. She picks up the blanket and wraps it over her shoulders, covering herself, and we head up the stairs and go into our rooms. I get into my pajamas and go into the bathroom, where my $girlRel joins me. We brush our teeth together and then she wishes me a good night, and we go to our rooms again. //It starts tomorrow.//

I wake up, get out of bed, and stretch. //Another busy day ahead.// I walk into the bathroom to freshen up. I then walk out of the room, down the stairs, into the kitchen. I see my $girlRel there, making tea. "Morning, did you have breakfast yet?" "Nope. I'm hungry, though." She says and smiles. I walk up to the fridge, open it, and take out the yogurt, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. I get two bowls as well as spoons and grab the bags of cereal and mixed nuts. I put the yogurt, fruits, cereal, and nuts into the bowls and mix them well. I add just a bit of honey to them, then walk to the kitchen dining table and sit down next to my $girlRel. She's put two cups and a teapot on the table and is sitting there waiting for me, sipping on her tea. I give her one of the bowls, and we eat breakfast while chatting. We finish breakfast and get up from the table. "I'm going for a swim," she tells me as I'm loading the dishes into the dishwasher. "I have to finish my homework, but I'll join you in a bit," I say and head for the stairs.

I go upstairs, into my room and sit down behind the writing desk. I continue working on my math problems while thinking about the people I have to call and want to hire. //First, I need to call Mike and tell him about the conversation I had with $girlName. I also need to ask him if he has time to see her more often to oversee her practicing.// I continue working on the exercises and soon finish them. I look at the clock; it's a quarter past eleven. //Mike should be awake by now. Let's call him.// I get up from the desk and leave my room, going into my $manShortRel's home office. I sit down behind his desk, and dial the coach's number. "Mike speaking." "Hey, Mike, $boyName here. I talked it through with my $girlRel, and she really wants to go for it. And I do too." "Good. That's very good to hear, and I suppose you want me to get you that training schedule?" "Correct. And I want to schedule more sessions for her with you. Ideally, I'd like to have you oversee her anytime she's swimming." "The schedule is fine, of course, but I plan to have her in the water for thirty plus hours a week..." "I think you know, we have the money. I'll convince our $manwomanToboygirlRel somehow." "I also really just don't have the time."—he falls silent for a while—"I can do, another four hours per week." "We'll do that then. But I'll need you to refer me to another instructor who you trust, and has time." "Hmm... I think I know just the person. I'll send you his details through e-mail." "I also want to hire a good nutritionist to oversee her diet." "I know of one, I'll send you her details as well. I'll get the schedule to you by tonight." We say goodbye and end the call. I log in to my e-mail account and wait for the e-mail to arrive. //Swimming instructor and nutritionist. I also want to hire a physician and a physiotherapist. To employ all these people, we'll need contracts, perhaps our $manwomanToboygirlRel know of a skilled attorney.// The unread icon glows up, and I open the e-mail.

I call the number and hear a young man's voice. "Paul here. Who's calling?" "I'm $boyName, Mike referred me to you. I'm looking for a swimming instructor for my $girlRel." "Well, I am that. How experienced is she?" "She's an experienced swimmer. She's swimming under Mike, he's taking care of her training schedule. I need someone to oversee her when she's practicing." "I can do that, but wouldn't it be better for Mike to do it himself?" "He is. But he doesn't have time to be here every time she's swimming, so I asked him to refer me to someone he trusts." "I see. I just got to the States, so I have plenty of time. How many hours per week are you thinking of?" "Mike will be here for ten hours a week, I'd like you to do sixteen hours." "You sound pretty young.

I don't have any pupils yet, since I just got here." "Even tomorrow? I'd like to see you work before I decide to hire you. I'll still pay you for the day, of course." "Tomorrow is fine. And I get that. Just let me know when to be there." We say goodbye and hang up. //If he works out, that'd mean the swimming instructor is taken care of. I probably also want to hire a personal trainer, to oversee her cycling and fitness.// I sit there, thinking for a while about the other people I'd need to hire. //Well, let's call this nutritionist first.//

I dial the number, and a woman picks up. "Jane speaking, how can I help you?" "Hello Jane, I'm $boyName. I told Mike I was looking for a good nutritionist for my $girlRel, and he gave me your number." "Ah, she's a swimmer then?" "That's right. I'd like you to oversee her diet; To make sure she eats right, especially now that Mike's making a new, excruciating training schedule for her." "He does like to torture his students... Sounds like a good idea. How old is she?" "She's $girlAge-years-old." "I see, well, I'll want that training schedule to make a diet plan to fit around it, but for now, I'll send you some general information and tips on what a swimmer needs to eat." "That'd be very helpful. I've been the one cooking for her, and I tried my best, but I'm kind of out of my depth." "I'll get started right away, and send you a document with general information. Then when you have her schedule, and have brought her here for a consultation, we'll work together to make the real plan." I thank her, and schedule an appointment with her for my $girlRel. We end the conversation, and I hang up. //Okay, that's that taken care of.// I turn on the office computer and open a new document.

I walk out of the office, go downstairs and walk into the backyard. I go to the pool where my $girlRel is swimming. It's a big pool, twenty-five yards long. There are three lanes, and it's about seven feet deep. She sees me and waves but continues doing her laps. Whenever she reaches the end of the pool, she does a turning flip. I sit down on one of the lawn chairs and watch her. //She's incredible.// I watch how she glides through the water. She's practicing her strokes, first swimming a couple of laps of breaststroke, then butterfly stroke, and finally, she practices her breast crawl. She finishes practicing and climbs out of the water onto the pool's edge. She walks towards me, her water bottle in hand. She's panting hard, and when she reaches me, she plops down on the ground. She lies on her back, looking up at the sky, and says, "So tired." She lies there for a while, taking deep breaths, then says, "The sun's coming through nicely"—she starts standing up—"I think I'll sunbathe for a while." I stand up myself and say, "That sounds nice, I'll join you." We walk towards the house, and when we get inside, I ask, "Are you hungry? I can make you a smoothie." She looks at me and smiles, "Yeah, I'm hungry." We split up, she goes upstairs, and I walk into the kitchen. I start collecting various fruits and vegetables and then putting them in the blender to make her a smoothie. I hear her coming down the stairs and look at her as she comes into the kitchen. She's wearing a bikini, but it's way too small; The straps are digging into her flesh. She walks over to me, and I hand her the smoothie. She thanks me and walks towards the door leading to the backyard. As she's about to leave, I shout, "Did you put on sunscreen?" She looks at me and shakes her head. I walk over to her and tell her, "You need to put on sunscreen first." "I don't know where they keep it." "Okay, wait here, I'll go and get it for you." I go into the ground floor bathroom and start searching its cabinets; Towels, shaving cream, tampons, I keep going through drawers and find a bottle of sunscreen. I go back to my $girlRel, handing it to her. I then walk to the sink to drink some water. I'm standing behind her and look at her applying the sunscreen to herself. She smears the sunscreen on her face, then moves down to her shoulders and neck, rubbing the sunscreen into her skin. She moves down, to her stomach, and finally her legs, leaning over—the bikini bottoms ride up into her crack, showing off her buttocks. I gulp and stare. The bikini has basically become a thong now. At her crotch, a camel toe forms. //Damn.// I feel my cock harden in my pants. She finishes applying the sunscreen, pulls at her clothing, then walks into the backyard.

I walk up the stairs and go into my room. I get out of my pajamas and put on my swimming briefs. I leave my room and go downstairs, into the kitchen. I pick up the bottle of sunscreen and apply it to myself. I go into the backyard, and follow the path down the hill to the pool, then continue walking past it, following the path up another small hill. On top of that hill, there are several lounge chairs as well as a picnic table and a parasol. I walk up to my $girlRel, who's lying on her back on one of the chairs, enjoying the sun.

I lie down on the chair next to hers and enjoy the sun. We chat every now then, about nothing at all, and time flies. I start to feel a little sleepy, and close my eyes, enjoying the atmosphere. //Sarah, huh. $girlName says she likes me, and that I should ask her out sometime, but I don't know.// I keep thinking it over, eyes closed, baking in the sun. //She's a nice girl.// I think back on the show she gave me in the shower, and start feeling a little aroused. //She's cute, such awesome breasts. And kind of naughty...// I hear my $girlRel move and open my eyes. She sits up, and lies down on her stomach. I look at her and ask, "Did you put sunscreen on your back as well?" "Oh, no, I didn't." She sits up again, looking at me. "Want me to get the sunscreen and put it on for you?" She nods, and I get up and move towards the house again. //Did I offer to put it on for her, as a $boyRel? Or was I feeling horny, and did I see an opportunity to take advantage of?// I go into the kitchen and grab the sunscreen, bringing it back to my $girlRel. She lies down on her stomach and spreads her legs, making room for me to sit down behind her. I look down at her; The too-small bikini bottoms are pulled flush against her sex, and I can see her pretty lips' outer rims. I'm stopped in my tracks and just stare at it. I collect my witts and sit down behind her. I feel myself get hard and feel my penis push against the fabric of my briefs. I make sure I keep my distance, afraid of it touching her. I squirt a glob of sunscreen on my palm, then rub my hands, and put them on her shoulders. I make slow, wide circles, moving towards her shoulder blades. I lift up her bikini top's straps and apply the sunscreen underneath as well. I move my hands down her back, circling slowly, pressing into her. She moans and says, "Ah, that's nice." I smile and keep massaging her. I continue going slowly down her back, caressing her, and push my knuckles into her flesh. I keep rubbing, slowly moving down, to her loin. //She feels so nice. Even if I offered to put it on for her out of $boyRelly concern, it's not that, any longer.//

I massage it, then raise my hands from her body putting more sunscreen on them. I get started on her legs, placing my hands just under her ass, and start kneading. I move down slowly, again making circles, down to her femur. I feel the stiffness of the muscles that lie under her skin, and make sure to massage it well, squeezing and really pushing my fingers into it. I alternate from her left to her right leg, massaging both with two hands. I move down further, to the back of her knee and then her calf, and keep kneading her skin. I move down further, to her Achilles heel. I press it between my thumb and fingers gently, following it, moving to her feet. I spread the sunscreen on them; I begin squeezing and gently presssing my thumb into her soles while kneading her feet. I finish applying the sunscreen and move to get up from the lounge chair. My penis, fully erect, is forming a tent in my briefs. //Can't let her see it.// I keep my back turned to her as I walk to my chair, and lie down on my stomach, hiding the erection from her. We lie on our stomachs with our heads turned toward each other. She smiles at me, then asks, "Did you put sunscreen on your back yourself?" "You're right, I didn't." She laughs, and teasingly says, "You damned hypocrite"—she stands up and moves towards me—"I'll take care of it for you." She sits down behind me and picks up the bottle of sunscreen. She puts some on her hand, then starts to rub my back. She doesn't really massage me; she just carefully spreads it around. Every now and then, when she's touching my muscles, her hands linger slightly, staying there for just a bit longer than necessary. // She's a bit too gentle, but it still feels nice.// I lie on my stomach, enjoying my $girlRel's touch. She soon finishes, and moves back to her own chair, lying down again with her head turned toward me. We lie there baking under the sun, and chat. I ask her, "$girlName, were you serious when you said I should ask Sarah out?" "I was. She really likes you, but she doesn't have the courage to tell you about it." "You really wouldn't mind me dating Sarah? She's your best friend." "Why would it bother me? I care about her and you, so it's perfect, right?" "I guess. I'll think about it, then." //So, she's really okay with it. I guess it's to be expected; I'm her $boyRel after all. But, if she were to go out with someone, would I be okay with it?// I clench my fist. //No. No way, even thinking about it is too much.// I look at her, concerned about myself. //But why is that? Her finding someone she loves would be a good thing if it were to make her happy. Am I seeing them as some sort of threat; to me, to my relationship with her? No, that cannot be.// I remain unconvinced and keep thinking about it. //This is starting to go too far. Being attracted to her, I could explain that away as just the reaction of a normal, healthy male's sex drive, but this... It goes beyond that.// The pleasant atmosphere I'd been enjoying is gone; worry now fills my mind as I lie there bathing in the sun's warmth. //Perhaps I should ask Sarah out, for no other reason than to get rid of these feelings for my $girlRel.// I feel horrible as I consider using her in this way, but the idea takes root firmly in my mind.

I finish massaging her loin, then move my hands down, until they're just above her buttocks. I feel her body get tense, but ignore it and continue, rubbing her cheeks and gently squeezing them. My $girlRel rolls on her side and looks at me. She tells me, "I'm really not comfortable with tha"—she looks at me, and I see her eyes move to my crotch—"Get off me." I stand up, ashamed, and feeling awful. //What came over me? Am I crazy?// I stand there with a tent in my briefs, my $girlRel is looking at me, angry and with disgust in her eyes. "Wh-why are you still standing there, like, like th-that?" I just stare at her, dumbfounded. Her face grows red, and she screams, "Get out of here already!" I shake my head, turn around, and run away. //Seriously, what the fuck did I do. What was I thinking, touching her ass like that.// I go indoors and get out of my briefs. //What happens now? Will she tell our $manwomanToboygirlRel? Or the cops?// Anxious, I sit in my room, waiting for whatever happens next. After a while, I hear a knock on my door. My $girlRel comes inside, now wearing jeans and a sweater. She has her arms crossed and stands a few feet away from me. She tells me, "I won't tell our $manwomanToboygirlRel, but I don't want anything like that, to happen ever again." "I'm sorry, I didn"—she interrupts me, holding up her hand, telling me to stop. "I don't want to hear your excuses or your reasoning. Let's just forget about it and move on." She tells me that, but I can see that her evaluation of me, as a $boyRel, as a person has changed. Still looking at me, tears form in the corner of her eyes. I hear her whisper, "I can't handle losing you too..." She turns around, and walks out of my room. My heart breaks. //I molested her, my own $girlRel, and robbed her of a $boyRel. How awful I am...// @@.centered; ''BAD END'' @@

We finish sunbathing in silence, and get up from the chairs. She tells me, "I'm going to take a shower to get the chlorine off me." "I'm hot, so I'm gonna take a dive," I tell her, and we walk towards the pool together. Walking beside her, I tell her, "That bathing suit, it really is too small." "I know, I know... It's the only one I have"—she sighs—"I normally don't really wear bikinis." "Then, how about when we are shopping for your techsuit, we'll buy a new bikini too? Consider it a present from me to you for beating your personal record." She smiles cheerfully and says, "Really? That'd be great, thanks so much." We arrive at the pool, and we split up; I get into the water, enjoying its coolness. She waves to me and walks into the house. I swim some laps, getting some exercise, and cooling down. After about half an hour, I tire of it. I climb out of the pool and shake off the water. I walk through the backyard for a little while, to let myself dry a bit, then head inside. //Let's take a shower as well. To be particular, let's shower in the master bathroom.//

I walk into our house, looking forward to taking a shower in our $manwomanToboygirlRel room. I go up the stairs and into their room. I pull open the bathroom's door and walk into it. I walk to the shower cabin and open its door—my $girlRel is there, she's sitting on the seat that can be pulled from the wall, with the hand-held shower head pressed to her groin. I hear her moan—halfway through, it turns in to a scream. She drops the showerhead, sits up straight, hiding her sex behind her hand. I quickly turn around and walk out of the cabin, telling her, "I-I'm sorry, $girlName. I didn't know you would be in here." I quickly leave the bathroom, and stand there, panting. //Fuck, fuck, FUCK. I didn't mean to walk in on her, fuck.// I put my head in my hands, blaming myself. //I should have been more careful. She said she was going to take a shower, I could, I should have known.// I clench my fist, and move downstairs, wanting to put space between her and me. //How awful she must be feeling right now. I hope she's not mad; it really was an accident! But, to think that she was masturbating...// Despite my shame, I feel myself get aroused. I sit down on the couch in the living room and watch some cable television. Feeling the erection in my briefs, I think to myself, //What's wrong with me? I just embarrassed her by walking in on her, but all I'm thinking about is how hot it is?// I hate myself, but my body doesn't listen. I grow harder, my penis being restrained uncomfortably by my swimming briefs. I pull them down and free it. //Am I really doing this?//

I touch my dick, and think about her touching herself, how she pleasures herself with the showerhead. I start stroking it and imagine how she rubs herself, the water streaming past her fingers. How she teases her clit, stroking it with her finger. How she rubs it, making circles and pulling at her pretty pussy lips. How she presses the showerhead into her groin and enjoys the pressure. Riding it, grinding it against herself. I begin to stroke myself faster and faster, and imagine how she pushes her finger into herself, and how it is stopped at its knuckle by her own tightness and her hymen. How she sits there, the water flowing over her sex, motionlessly. She slowly starting moving the finger in and out of herself, enjoying her own tightness. I imagine how she moans and how her body tenses as waves of pleasure roll into her, how she quivers as she cums violently—I grab my dick, and point it towards my stomach, shooting sticky globs of sperm onto my belly. //Fuck, that was fast.// I walk into a bathroom and clean myself up. Calming down, I feel awful, and head back into the living room. I sit down on the couch again and continue watching the show. I'm not very interested in it, but its noise is a pleasant distraction from my thoughts, full of loathing and shame.

I turn off the television and get up from the couch. My $girlRel still hasn't come downstairs. //She must be feeling awful, and it's all my fault.// I stand in the living room, unsure of what to do. //I want to go up and talk with her.// I walk to the stairs, but when I get there, I turn around. //No, let's give her some space.

I stand in front of them, unable to take a step. //I want to go and apologize again.// I hesitate, then turn back, and go to the living room. I sit down on the couch and grab the remote, but have no interest in watching anything. I just sit there with the remote in hand. //Give her time.

I walk up the stairs and go straight into my room. I get out of my swimming briefs, quickly getting changed into workout clothes. I grab a towel and head downstairs again. I walk through the hallways, then enter the basement and go into the home gym. I sit down on one of the machines and take a deep breath. I pull on its cord, doing my reps. I move on to the next machine without rest, following my scheme that has me rest muscle groups in between sets, meaning that I get to keep working out continuously, allowing me to work on my endurance as well as strength at the same time. I move from machine to machine and keep adding more weight to them. I pull at the cords and handles violently. //I ruined her weekend. We were getting along so well, then I ruined it.// I move to the weightlifting section and pick up a barbell. I put several plates more on it than I usually lift. I grunt deeply as I lift it above my head and scream, "Fuck!" I keep raising the barbell, screaming louder every time I do so. Beat, I drop the barbell on the floor and move to the next machine. I'm drenched in sweat and panting heavily. The world is going dizzy, but I keep pushing myself. //It really was an accident. Goddamnit.// I move to the rower and start rowing. I keep going faster and faster, the machine is shaking under the force I'm exerting—my hands slip. //Blood?// I look at my hands; they're ragged. I didn't even notice. //Guess that means I'm done.// I walk into the bathroom attached to the gym and take a cold shower. My hands tingle from the soap, but I ignore it. I get out of the shower and dry myself off. Not wanting to put on my dirty exercise clothing again, I go upstairs wearing my towel, straight into my room. I get dressed in my pajamas, and look at my phone lying on my nightstand; It's nearly six o'clock.

I walk out of my room, and go downstairs into the kitchen. //She still hasn't come down, but I can't keep blaming myself. It was an honest mistake, nothing more.// I open the fridge and take out spinach, carrots, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. I also take some onions and garlic from a kitchen shelf. I put a pan on the stove. While it's warming up, I start dicing the onions—halfway through, I add olive oil to the pan. I finish chopping the onions, and wait for the oil to be heated up. I drop the onions in it and start dicing the garlic. //I'm kind of worried, if she is this embarrassed about me walking in on her, would she really be able to tell me if someone tried something?// I add the garlic to the pan and wash the spinach. I take another pan and put the spinach in it. While the onion, garlic, and spinach are on the stove, I fill a large pot with water, salt it, and add the spaghetti.

She doesn't want to talk to me.// The spinach has become tender; I take some kitchen paper and take the spinach out of the pan, putting it on the paper. I take another smaller pot, add water and salt to it, then put the carrots in. I put it on the stove and wait for the water to boil. The spinach has become cold enough; I take it in my hands and wring the water out of it above the sink. I add the wrung spinach to the pan with the onion and garlic, stirring everything, and then add the heavy cream. I let it simmer for a while, then when the pasta is about halfway done, I take some of its cooking water and add it to the sauce. I let things simmer and boil, then grab two plates and forks, and grate the cheese. I add everything to the plate, mixing it well, then sprinkle the cheese over the top. //I don't think she'll want to eat together with me.//

I mute the television and close my eyes. I breathe in deeply, hold it for a while, then let it slowly escape from my body. I breathe in again—and there's a knock on my door. //What?// I look at the door, panicked. //What do I say? I'm not ready, I need time to think//—she knocks again. "Co-come in," I tell her, my voice quivering. My $girlRel opens the door and walks into my room. We look at each other. I begin to stand up—she bows to me, saying, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry," tears form in her eyes, and she walks to my bed. I look at her, stumped. //What's going on here?// "It's okay, you have nothing to apologize for. I'm the one who should be apologizing to you." She comes closer to the bed and sits down on it. She looks at me, tears rolling down her cheeks, "You must have been so angry with me." //Angry? But why?// We're sitting next to each other now, and I wrap my arms around her shoulders. I pull her close, and tell her, "I'm not angry, not at all"—I pause for a second, hesitating—"I know our $manwomanToboygirlRel say that touching yourself is a bad thing, but it's not, it's totally normal. Everyone does it, trust me." I keep hugging her tightly as she buries her face in my shoulders. With a meek voice, she asks, "Even you?" "Of course. There isn't a boy that doesn't. Or girl. Even our $manwomanToboygirlRel, they did it, and do it." //Fuck, I can't believe I'm talking about this with her. But it's the truth, and she needs to hear it.// I feel my face get flushed as I continue, "I would never get mad at you for something like masturbating. And I'm so sorry for walking in on you, I understand that it felt awful and that you didn't want to see me after that." She looks up at me, putting on a small smile, "Well, I didn't think you would be angry about that." I look at her, puzzled, and wait for her to continue. "I thought you would have been angry at me, for ignoring you. And I am so sorry about that." I move to speak—she continues, "In truth, I was embarrassed about you walking in on me. And I hid in my room because of it. "But that was only for a little bit. After that, I remembered." She stops and looks at me; Her tears have stopped. She says resolutely, "I remembered my promise. That I would tell you if something happened, no matter how embarrassing it was." She falls quiet, then continues with downcast eyes, "And I realized, that I had broken that promise, just a day after making it. I was so angry with myself, and so scared to face you. So I ignored you. Again..." I press her face into my shoulder and stroke her cheek. We sit there for a while, not saying anything, and she continues, "Then it sunk in, that I was just doing the same thing again. And I thought about how you would be feeling, how scared you would be, that if something bad happened to me, I would not be able to tell you because I was too ashamed. "And I saw how bratty I was being. Hiding in my room, ignoring you, not even thanking you for cooking me dinner. When I realized that, I had no choice but to come out of my room and talk to you." I grab her head with both hands and look her squarely in the eyes. I tell her, "I was not angry. Not even for a second. I was scared, I hated myself, and I was lonely. But angry, no. Never. You say you acted childishly, but you could not be more adult by coming in here and talking to me. I'm proud of you, really proud." She relaxes, and her shoulders slump. I let go of her head, and she smiles and hugs me. We sit there in each other's embrace. After a while she tells me, "But, apologizing is not enough. I need to show you that I really will tell you, even if it's scary." "You've already done that." She shakes her head, "No, I haven't. But I'll prove it to you now." //Where's she going with this?// Her cheeks turn red, but she keeps looking right at me and says, "Actually, today it was not the first time something like this happened." "You don't—"she holds up her hand and just smiles. "Remember Friday, when I had my music so loud and didn't hear you knock? Had you walked into my room, you would have caught me, just like today." //She wasn't changing, but masturbating?// I look at her, flabbergasted. //So I was sitting on her bed, ruffling her hair, just after interrupting her as she was touching herself?// She's looking at the ground now, anxious. She peeks up at me, then looks down again. //This is not the time to be thinking about that.// I wrap my arms around her and pull her close. "You really didn't have to tell me that, but I'm so glad that you did, that you trust me that much." I hug her for a while, enjoying her warmth and the way she feels. We let go, and she lies down on her side, looking up at the ceiling. I lie down next to her, and a few minutes pass. We lie there in silence; there's nothing that needs to be said. //I guess she missed me too.//

"Do you wanna watch some television?" The silence broken, she now looks at me and smiles brightly. We crawl up, putting cushions behind us. I unmute the sound, and we start watching Bob's Burgers. We sit with our backs against the pillows, hip to hip in my twin-size bed. We laugh every now and then, and spend the night, comfortably and cozily under a blanket. After about an hour, she looks at me and says, "I have to tell you one more thing." She pauses for a second, but continues, "You walking in on me, is kind of like karma, really. "Yesterday at the pool, Sarah spied on you in the changing room, as you well, you know"—she pauses, blushing—"you were doing that, and she told me to look too. And I did, just for a moment. "I didn't think much of it, and we laughed about it. I didn't,"—she stammers—"I didn't know how awful what I did was." I gulp and feel my heart beating rapidly and ask, "You-you saw?" "Yes... I'm sorry, so really, you walking in on me, it's my fault." I find myself aroused at the thought of my little $girlRel spying on me, and tell her, "It's okay, really. I'm not mad, but you shouldn't spy on people. It's good that you realized that what you did was wrong and that you feel bad about it." <<if $D2S2P4V1 != true>>//I'm a goddamn hypocrite.//<</if>> She nods, and settles back in again, crawling to me. I sit there, under the blanket with her, and feel confused. Aroused, but disturbed. Disturbed at how close we suddenly are, and the turn this conversation has taken. //I did not expect this, not at all. I thought I ruined things, but we suddenly feel closer than ever.//

We continue watching television, enjoying the evening. My phone makes a whistling noise. My $girlRel picks it up from the nightstand and hands it to me. I look at it; it's the training schedule. //Wait, did I even tell her about hiring a new swim instructor and nutritionist yet?// "It's Mike, he just sent me the training schedule for next week." I hand her the phone, and she looks at it. "Wow. I'm not gonna have any free time at all, am I?" "That's not true, I'll make sure to schedule a minute, every now and then." She smiles as I tease her and hands the phone back to me. I look at the schedule carefully. She will manage to do the right exercises for the right amount of time herself. All I have to do is roster all her tasks into the day. But that's easier said than done. //Still, three blocks of two hours of swimming, and two hours of other forms of exercise.

"This is the best I can do. We're missing one two-hour block of swimming, but there's no helping it. $Education's taking all your time. We'll have to figure something out." "Figure something out?" "Well, we'll have to talk with them, and come to some agreement. Maybe we'll have you be educated at home by private tutors instead, or some compromise. They have a swimming pool, so perhaps you can be allowed to follow some classes, swim at $education, and catch back up at home through private educators they provide." She nods understandingly, but I continue, "Of course, I don't know if they'll agree to that. Worst case scenario, you'll have to drop out, and we'll just home-$education you instead." I look at her and see that she's a little anxious about it. "I understand, you'll miss your friends."—I wrap my arm around her shoulders and pull her tight—"Don't worry, I'll work something out." She rests her head on my shoulder, and we sit there for a while. Remembering, I tell her, "Right, a new swim instructor will be helping you during your practice tomorrow. Mike referred him, so I'm sure he'll be good." "Okay, that's fine. What's his name?" "It's Paul. From what I heard, he's pretty young. He said he just came back to the States. I don't know where from, though. "I also scheduled an appointment with a nutritionist for you, because I need some help with your diet." She nods, and lies down, yawning. I set an alarm on my phone to help me wake up on time. We watch TV a little longer, she's lying on her side, her head on my breast. I have my arm wrapped around her, just holding her. I look at her; her eyes are closed. //Is she asleep?// "$girlNick, you sleeping?" No response. //What now? Do I wake her up, or?// My heart starts beating rapidly, and I turn off the television. //We haven't brushed our teeth, I should wake her up.// I look at her again, how she's sleeping with her head on my chest. I stroke her cheek gently. //She's so cute. I really don't want this to end.// Conflicted, I put my hand under her neck and raise it. I lie down on my side, facing her. I put her head down softly on the pillow, and caress her cheek again. //I really should wake her up... But I don't want to.// I turn off the lamp standing on my bed's headboard and lie down, pulling the blanket over us. She moves in her sleep, inching closer toward me. My heart is pounding in my chest. //I can't believe I'm doing this. I'm going to sleep with my $girlRel.//

Beep. Beep. Beep—I feel something move in my arms. My left arm is wrapped around my $girlRel's stomach; we are spooning. She's leaning over towards the nightstand and turns off the alarm on my phone. I feel the morning wood pressing into my pajamas, and turn to my back, separating myself from her. I raise my knee and lift the blanket, hiding the tent from my $girlRel. //We slept together. And I spooned her in my sleep...// She crawls back under the blanket and snuggles up to me. My heart is beating rapidly, and I look at her and say, "Seems we fell asleep..." She scowls at me and says, "Sleep? Who could sleep with you farting and snoring all night?" "Re-really? I did that?" She looks at my shocked expression and laughs. "I'm joking"—she rolls onto her side and hugs me, putting her arm on my chest—"I slept amazing. I felt safe, and warm... Like I was a kid again, coming to your bed after having a nightmare." She just lies there, and I ruffle her hair. //It really was incredible. So amazing. I was so scared yesterday that I'd ruined our relationship, but now I'm just so glad, so grateful.// "I really liked it too, it's been so long since we slept together. It felt kind of nostalgic," I pause, sigh, and tell her, "but, we're too old for this now, really. It wasn't right for me to let you sleep here." "Maybe, but it was nice. You're my $boyRel, it's fine."

I smile at her, then say, "Well, it's time to get up. I'll go and make breakfast, you go freshen up." "Right, today will be a busy day." "I'll send the schedule I showed you to your phone. As well as the training schedule Mike made for you." She nods, let's go of me, and rolls off the bed. She stretches, raising her arms in the air, and tilts her head backward. She smiles at me, then heads into the bathroom. I get up from the bed as well and pick up my phone. I see that I've got a message from Paul; he'll be at our home a bit after six and has time in the afternoon as well. //Good.// I message my $girlRel today's schedule, then walk out of the room and go downstairs. I walk into the kitchen and open the fridge and start preparing breakfast. I make oatmeal with fruit for us and grab a banana for my $girlRel. I begin setting the kitchen table, and hear my $girlRel coming down the stairs. As I finish setting the table, she walks into the room—already wearing her swimsuit. We sit down next to each other and eat breakfast together. I tell her, "Paul, the new instructor, will be here just after six." "Okay,"—she nods—"let's see what he's got." "I'll stay and watch you practice for a while." The conversation falls silent again, and we finish eating our breakfast. We get up from the table and go our separate ways; she goes into the backyard, towards the pool, and I stay behind, putting the dirty dishes away.

I walk up the stairs and go into my room, then into the bathroom. I wash my face and armpits, brush my hair, and put on deodorant. I go back into my room and get dressed in my clothing for $education. I look at the clock; it's nearly ten-past six. //Paul will be here soon. Let's go and meet him.// I walk downstairs and go to the front gate of the estate. I wait there until I see Paul's car pull up—a 2006 Mustang S281. I wave to him and press the button to open the gate, letting him inside. He parks the car on the driveway and gets out of it—he's a tall man in his thirties with an athletic build—and walks towards me, raising his hand, bringing it toward me in an arch; We shake hands, and he greets me, "$boyName, right? I'm Paul."—he looks around and whistles—"Nice place you got here." "It's our $manwomanToboygirlRel's, not mine." I sigh and say, "Thanks, never mind. Let's go to the pool." I lead him past the house into the backyard, and we walk to the pool. My $girlRel is in it, doing her laps. I wave to her, and she swims to our side. Paul knees down at the pool's side and shakes her hand. "I'm Paul. Nice to meet ya." "Hey. I'm $girlName. It's nice to meet you, too." "For now, I just want to see you swim a little. Just ignore me and do your thing." She nods, puts her goggles on, and continues doing her laps. We stand on the poolside together, watching her. "She has good form." "This is the schedule Mike made for her." I hand him my phone and say, "I need to work something out with our $education; it's taking up too much time." "Yeah, this is intense. I can work it with her." "Good." I pause and look at him and ask, "You said you just came back to the States?" "That's right. I've been traveling. Swimming and meeting people all over the world—$girlName keep your head straight! It's too low in the water!" He shouts at my $girlRel and moves towards her. I follow after him, and as we stand next to each other, he continues, "Anyway, I talked to coaches all over the place and learned a lot from 'em." I nod along with his story, then say, "You look like you swam yourself." He smiles, "That's right. Got two gold medals in the twenty-fourteen Nationals." I nod and tell him, "Impressive. I'll be looking forward to seeing my $girlRel improve, then." "Of course." We stand there for a while, watching my $girlRel practice. Paul corrects her every now and then, shouting to her what she's doing wrong. He moves along the poolside, keeping up with her, watching her closely. //Seems like he's got this.//

I leave the instructor and my $girlRel alone and go into the house and up the stairs, then into my $manShortRel's office.

I go into my room and get out of my clothes, putting on my swimming briefs. I grab a towel and head downstairs into the backyard and to the pool. I see Paul standing on the poolside, talking to my $girlRel. I walk up to them, as my $girlRel sees me, she waves. Paul turns his head to me and waves as well. "Don't let me disturb you. I'll do my own thing." They nod, and he tells her to do ten laps of butterfly stroke. I get into the lane next to hers and start swimming my laps, starting with breaststroke. We both swim our laps; every so often, I hear Paul correct my $girlRel. We don't pay much attention to each other, both focusing on our training. After some time, I rest for a while. My $girlRel comes over to the rope, drinking from her bottle and panting hard. I swim to the rope and hang onto it, and say, "Working hard, I see. Liking Paul?" "He's good. He keeps correcting me, things I didn't even know I was doing wrong." We hang onto the rope for a while. She then asks, "He told me to swim as I want for a while. Wanna race?" "Sounds fun." I wave to Paul, and he walks over. I ask him, "Could you count us down?" He smiles, and starts, "Three... Two... One...GO!" We push off from the edge and start crawling. I'm not wearing goggles, but keep my eyes open anyway. I swim as fast as I can, kicking powerfully and taking breathes every six strokes. I look to the side, to see where my $girlRel is; she's already way ahead of me, and I'm going all out. She turns onto her back and starts doing backstrokes. She sees me looking and waves at me. //Damnit, she's too fast.// I start gaining ground on her. When I near her, she turns. She starts trying again and quickly gets away from me, putting more distance between us with every stroke. I reach the end of the pool and make a flip turn; I push off from the pool's side and wave my feet underwater, traversing as much distance as possible. I break the water's surface and look around. She's halfway through the pool already. I keep going as fast as I can and reach the other side as well. She's there, waiting for me. "I don't stand a chance." She smiles and says, "That's right. You'll never beat me. Wanna go again?" "Sure, let's go." I push off from the wall immediately, taking full advantage of my head-start, trying to put as much distance between us as I can. I'm three-quarters of the way through the pool when she passes me. I keep pushing harder, flip and turn and chase after her; she's already several feet ahead of me. //Even after all those laps and sprints, she's still way too fast.// I reach the end of the pool and hang on the rope, and look at her. She looks at me, panting herself, then asks, "Again?" I splutter, "I can't. Need to breathe." She smiles, then sticks out her tongue and pushes off from the wall. I watch her sprint for a while, enjoying the sight of her smooth movements. //I can't believe we actually slept together. It's crazy. She says it reminded her of when she was a child, but that's not the case for me. I saw her as a woman and sleeping with her... I should never have let it happen. I need to set limits. To protect her.// I keep watching her, my gaze focusing on her ass. I look away, feeling self-conscious. //I suppose I have to accept it. I have romantic, no, sexual feelings for her. When I see her, I want to touch her. I want to hug her. Kiss her. But I can't, there's no way. There's no way for that to happen. I need to get over her and stop thinking about her in this way.//

I climb out of the pool and head towards the house. I wave to my $girlRel and the instructor when they see me leave, and head inside. I walk up the stairs and go into my room, then into the bathroom. I get out of my swimming briefs, wash them in the sink, then wring them out. I quickly take a shower, getting the chlorine off me. I go back into my room and get dressed for $education. I go downstairs, into the kitchen. Just as I walk in, my $girlRel comes into the room. I tell her, "You go and get changed, I'll make you something to eat." "Thanks, I'll be right down." She walks up the stairs, and I open the fridge. I take out eggs, mushrooms, and bell peppers and turn them into an omelet. I take the left-over spinach and cook that, seasoning it with some lemon juice. I hear my $girlRel coming down the stairs, and put it on a plate for her. I walk to the stairs, meeting her; she's now wearing her $education outfit. I tell her, "Your food's on the counter. I'll go get our bags." I walk upstairs, past her, and go into my room. I grab my backpack and put my books in it, then go into my $girlRel's room and prepare her bag as well. I carry both bags down the stairs and go into the kitchen. $girlName is standing at the counter, eating the last of her meal. I walk up beside her and put the bags on the floor. I make her a protein shake for in the car and wait for her to finish eating.

I hand her bag and the protein shake to her, then tell her, "Come, let's go." She follows me into the garage, and we get into the car; I start it and drive out of the garage, following the driveway out of the gate onto the street. I chat with my $girlRel while driving and ask her, "Want to eat lunch together?" "Sure, that'd be nice." I continue driving towards the $education, the conversation now falling quiet. I look at my $girlRel and say, "$girlNick, I've been thinking. I do want to ask Sarah out"—she's looking at me now—"but, with all her friends around, it's a little embarrassing. Could you maybe ask her, if she wants to eat lunch with you?" "You're really asking her out? Today?"—she smiles—"Of course I'll help. This is so exciting!" "Don't tell her, though." "Sure, sure. I won't tell her." She continues asking me questions; Where I'm taking her, if I'm nervous, what I'm going to wear. We chat energetically, and I soon pull into the $education's parking lot. We get out of the car and split up, going our separate ways. I go into the building, to the second floor, and into the classroom. I shake the teacher's hand and sit down in my arranged seat, waiting for class to start. First is a period of mathematics, then English. I try to pay attention to the teacher, but struggle, as I keep thinking about confessing my feelings to Sarah and asking her out.

Class ends, and I get up from my desk. "$boyName, you going to the cafeteria?" "Yeah, but I'm eating lunch with $girlName today." I walk to the cafeteria with my friends, they sit down at a table, telling me, "See ya next period." I look around, looking for my $girlRel and Sarah; I don't see them anywhere. I walk to an empty table and sit down, fidgeting with my hands under the table. I sit there for a while, looking around the room—I see them and wave to them. They wave back and walk over. My $girlRel taps Sarah on her shoulder, says something to her, and they split up; Sarah keeps moving toward me while my $girlRel stays behind. //Now or never, I guess.// I get up from my chair and move toward her. She smiles as she sees me, and I go in for a hug. We hug for a few seconds, and I let go of her. I look at her and smile. I hold her hand and look into her eyes, then say, "Sarah, I really like you." I look down and pause for a second, then ask, "Can I take you out for dinner Wednesday?" She smiles even brighter, and says, "I've been waiting for you to ask. I'd love it. Where are you taking me?" "It's a surprise. I'll pick you up at five, okay?" "Sure, I'll be ready, and waiting." She hugs me again, excited. We let go, and I see my $girlRel walking over. I look at her and wink. She smiles and joins us, saying, "Let's go get our lunch." We walk along the buffet counter, piling food on our plates. Sarah and I talk while $girlName watches us, keeping her distance. We sit down, Sarah and my $girlRel across from me, and eat our lunch together. Every so often, my eyes meet Sarah's, and our gazes lock, and we stare at each other—I look away quickly and see my $girlRel watching. She just sits there smiling, watching us. We finish eating lunch and get up from the table. Sarah waves me goodbye, as does my $girlRel, and we go our separate ways.

//That went well.// I walk back up the stairs and go into class. I sit down in my seat, and my friend sitting next to me says, "You look happy." "I am. I asked Sarah out, and she said yes." "Really? Isn't she your $girlRel's best friend?" "She is, but $girlName is okay with it. Encouraged it even." "Hmm, really? So you asked her out, where are you taking her?" "Yeah, this Wednesday I'm taking her out to eat." He clucks his tongue, "Expensive taste as always." "Well, I really like her." The teacher stands at the front of the class, and my friend puts his hand around my shoulder and whispers, "Have fun." We quiet down and wait for the teacher to start the Latin lesson. After, in the fourth period, we are taught Biology.

The class's over. The teacher stands at the door, and we all shake his hand, wishing him a good night. I walk out of the door and say goodbye to my friends. I go down the stairs and look for my $girlRel. She's at the entrance, waiting for me. She waves as she sees me, and I walk to her. We walk toward the parking lot together and get in the car. I drive out of the parking lot, and we sit next to each other, going home. After a while, she asks, "So, where are you taking her?" "I'm taking her out to eat, I didn't know what else to do." "She'd like that I think. So, nervous?" "Yeah, I am nervous. I don't have much experience with this stuff, I don't want to look like an idiot." She looks down and says, "It'll be fine, trust me. You're a great guy, she knows that." We sit in silence for a while, our eyes on the road. We enter the suburb we live in, and my $girlRel says, "Our $manwomanToboygirlRel are coming home today." "Yeah, they are." I look at my $girlRel and see her looking down, anxious. "It'll be fine. You're feeling more relaxed after a weekend off from them, too, right? It will be the same for them. They'll have made up, and things will go back to normal." She looks at me, showing a small smile. "You're probably right." The conversation falls quiet again, and soon our house comes into view. She presses the button on the remote, and we drive through the gates. I follow the road and park in the garage. We get out of the car, grab our bags, and close its doors.

I open the garage door, and we walk through it, into the house. We go up the stairs and split up, going into our rooms. I put my bag down next to the door, get out of my clothes, and put my exercise clothing on instead. I take two towels, go into the hallway, and wait in front of my $girlRel's door, waiting for her to come out of her room. After a few minutes, the door opens, and she comes through it; she's wearing a short gray tee and gray boyshorts—I gulp and look at her body. //Such legs.// I look at the fabric of her top, <<if $girlBreasts === "flat">>clinging tightly to her chest<<else>>and the two small bumps lying under it<</if>> and feel myself get aroused. I look away quickly and hand her towel to her. I lead the way down the stairs, into the basement, to the home gym. I get onto one of the treadmills, my $girlRel gets onto the one next to it, and we start running. I look over at my $girlRel; I see beads of sweat roll down her face, neck, and chest, and my gaze settles on <<if $girlBreasts === "flat">>the tiny mounds under her top.<<else>>her modest breasts, bouncing up and down as she runs.<</if>> Ignoring the voice of reason in the back of my head, I keep staring and look down at her small and taut ass. Its shape is accentuated by the boyshorts she's wearing. //She's so hot.// My heart begins to beat faster, and I feel my penis harden. I look away from her, forward, and focus on running. We chat every so often while running for about fifteen minutes, and then get off the treadmills and stand there, panting. Warmed up, we move on to strength training. We move to the weight racks and start doing bicep curls. We stand next to each other, facing a mirror on the wall. I see her look at me in the mirror, and she asks, "When will they be home?" "I think they'll be here soon. An hour, maybe." Seeing the worry on her face, I smile and tell her, "It's going to be fine, really." //Their fighting really is taking a toll on her.// "They were in the Bahamas, enjoying the sun, walking hand in hand along its beaches. Then at night, candle-lit dinners and wine, and in their suite, sweet, sweet lovemaking—"" "Ew, $boyNick, that's disgusting!" She laughs as she shouts it, and I see her relax, and we continue our exercise regime. Having finished with them, we put down the weights and move on to the leg press machine. We take turns doing our sets, then go to the next machine. We alternate between reps, watching the other do their exercises. I'm starting to sweat and see that my $girlRel is as well. We're both out of breath as we move on to the leg abduction machine. She sits down on it, leaning her back against the seat and gets into position, and adds more weights to it. She spreads her legs, pushing the cushions to the side. I stand in front of her, leaning on the machine. She closes her legs, takes a deep breath, then spreads them again while breathing out. She closes her eyes, and her legs again. She's drenched in sweat; I look at the beads of it rolling down her neck, to her chest. Her thin tee is becoming translucent in places, and I see her skin under it. I gulp, and stand there staring at her. I lick my lips and look down at her crotch. Each time she opens and closes her legs, a camel-toe forms in her boyshorts, showing me the outline of her pretty pussylips. I stare at it, hypnotized, forgetting my surroundings. //Fuck, what am I doing.// I look up at her eyes—they're still closed. I shake my head and step away. I'm fully erect now, and it's clearly visible. I step back and say, "I'll go and make you something to eat."

I move away from her, not waiting for a response, and go up the stairs and into the kitchen. My heart is pounding in my chest as I make a smoothie for her. //I'm so horny. This is crazy.// I rub my shaft through my shorts and shudder. I take a deep breath and close my eyes. //Calm down.// I put the smoothie down on the kitchen counter and walk up the stairs, then go into my $girlRel's room. I walk to her dresser and open it. I take out her training suit, and a towel, then go out of her room and down the stairs, into the kitchen. I grab the smoothie and take it downstairs into the gym in the basement. As I enter it, I lift my briefs and push my half-erect penis down, hiding it from view. My $girlRel is sitting on the lat pulldown machine with her back to me. I walk up to her and tap on her shoulder and tell her, "I got you a smoothie." She looks over her shoulder and stands up. "Thanks." We move to the lounge chairs in the corner of the room and sit down next to each other. She sips the smoothie, and we just sit there in silence, enjoying the little break. She finishes the smoothie, and I hand the swimsuit to her. "Paul'll be here soon." She sighs and says, "I'll go get changed." She gets up from the chair and goes into the bathroom behind me. A few minutes later, she comes out of it again. I look at the clock on the wall; it's nearly six. I get up from my chair and tell her, "I'll put your clothes in the washer. It's nearly six." She hands her dirty clothes to me and asks, "Will you come swim too?" "I have to do my homework. I'll come say hi to Paul, but that's it." We walk up the stairs and split up; she heads towards the pool in the backyard, and I walk through the house. In my hands are her clothes; Her tee, shorts, and panties, damp with sweat. //She has been wearing these panties all day.// I run my finger over her them, enjoying the sensation. I begin to walk up the stairs to the second floor, and with every step, the desire grows. The desire to sniff them, to discover what she smells like. To press them into my face, to enjoy the scent of her sex and sweat. My breathing is labored, and my heart is pounding in my chest. //I shouldn't.//

I keep moving up the stairs. I go into my $girlRel's room and throw the clothes in the laundry basket. I rub along the outline of my shaft in my exercise briefs and shiver. //Fuck, I want to jerk-off.// The intercom buzzes. //But I don't have time.// I move into the hallway and answer the intercom—it's Paul. I greet him and open the gate. I go back into my room and get out of my clothes. I throw my dirty exercise clothing into the laundry basket, then get dressed.

I run my fingers over the damp panties, and take it into my hand. Shakingly, I bring it to my face and sniff it. //Sweat...// I sniff again, deeper, enjoying its musky scent. I stand there, frozen, letting the sensations crash into me. I rub myself through my shorts. //I want to jerk-off so bad. But I don't have time.// I open my eyes and start going up the stairs, going into my $girlRel's room. I drop her dirty clothes in her laundry basket—the intercom buzzes. //That must be Paul.// I go into the hallway, answer it and open the gate for him. I go back into my room and get out of my clothes. I throw my dirty exercise clothing into the laundry basket, then get dressed.

I walk out of my room and go down the stairs, into the kitchen, then into the backyard. I follow the path to the pool and see Paul there. I walk up to him—I hear a car's wheels drive over the pavement. //It's $womanShortRel and $manShortRel.// I turn around and walk past the house, toward the front door. I see the car parked on the driveway, and my $manShortRel getting out of it. I walk up to him, and we look at each other for a second. He says, "$BoyToManWomanRel, go help your $womanRel with her bags." //I missed you too.// I move around to the other side of the car, and open the door, saying, "Hello $womanRel, let me give you a hand." I grab the hand she's holding out, and help her out of the car and ask, "Did you have a nice weekend?" "The weather was nice." She looks at me for a few seconds, with a weird look on her face. She then sighs and says, "It was fine. Let's just get our suitcases." We open the car's trunk and take out the suitcases. My $manShortRel walks over to us and grabs two bags, I carry the other two, and we walk towards the house. As we enter it, I tell them, "$girlName is in the pool." My $manShortRel says, "That's good." He continues walking towards the stairs going up to the second floor, and we follow him. //Don't want to say hello to her? Of course not.// I pull on the suitcases, and we move up to the second floor. I see my $womanShortRel look at me—she looks down as she sees the expression on my face. "$boyName, do you have"—she shakes her head—"can we talk tonight?" "Of course, is something wrong, $womanRel?" //She's acting a little strange.// "No, everything is fine. Can you come to the sunroom at ten?" "Sure. I'll be there." //Well, I needed to talk to them anyway.//

My $manShortRel opens the door to their room, and we go into it. I put the suitcases in the corner of the room. My $manShortRel puts his suitcases in the corner as well, then walks out of the room, saying, "I need to go answer some e-mails." My $womanShortRel walks after him and says, "So do I, I told you that in the car." I sigh as I watch them bicker. "Your e-mails are more important? You're making me unpack your clothes?" I hear the door to the home office close. My $womanShortRel comes back into their bedroom and sits on the bed. //I guess they haven't made up yet. But this is bad...// "Want some help unpacking?" She lies down on the bed and says, "Yes, thanks." //Damnit, I hoped that they'd made up this weekend. But they're still fighting, it's going to distract $girlName.// I sigh and take one of the suitcases. I open it and start taking out their laundry, putting the clothing that needs to go to the drycleaners on one pile, the white clothing in one laundry basket, and the rest of the clothing in the other. I work through the second suitcase, then look over my shoulder at my $womanRel; she's lying on her back and hasn't moved. //Is she okay?// I scratch at my arms, uneasy, unsure how to help, and keep working on sorting out the clothing. I finish emptying their suitcases and look at the pile of chargers, their laptops, toiletries, and accessories. I put them where they belong, then take a laundry basket, and leave the room. I take one last look at my $womanRel; she's still lying on the bed, motionless. I go into my own room, and put the clothing from my laundry basket in the basket I'm carrying. I then go into my $girlRel's room and empty her basket too. I put it down at the top of the staircase, then go back into the master bedroom. My $womanRel is now sitting on it, with her laptop on her lap. She doesn't seem to notice me entering, so I just take the laundry basket with the white clothing, then go around collecting all the white laundry from my $girlRel's and my room. I walk down the stairs, and go into the basement. I enter the laundry room, load the first washing machine, and then go back upstairs to get the second basket. I take it to the laundry room and fill the second washer, and turn on the machines after putting in the detergent and fabric softener.

I leave the basement and go up the stairs, into my own room. I sit down behind the writing desk. I stretch and yawn, feeling tense. I look at the clock; it's nearly seven. //There's not enough time to finish it all.// I start working on the math exercises assigned to me and work through them. //I probably should have told $girlName that they came home.// I keep working on the problems, trying to stay focused. //They could have at least gone to greet her, to tell her they missed her.// I clench my pen and shake my head. //They just piss me off.// I finish the equations and put away my work. I then take out the English textbook and read through the chapter assigned to me, making notes along the way, and I think about how my $womanShortRel was acting. //It was a little strange. I wonder what she wants to talk about.// I sigh and look at the clock. //I need to start cooking soon.// I read through the rest of the chapter and finish writing my notes. //I'm going to have to convince her, and $manShortRel, to give us more money.// I get up from the desk and stretch once more.

//Shit, it's late already.// I walk out of my room, go down the hallway and knock on the master bedroom's door, and ask, "Do you want me to cook for you as well?" My $womanShortRel answers me, "No, I'm not hungry." //Did they eat already?// I walk down the stairs and go into the kitchen. I get an onion, garlic, herbs, green beans, and a can of peeled tomatoes, then put a skillet on the stove. I turn the stove on, and dice the onion while waiting for the pan to heat up, then add some olive oil to the pan. //Is everything really okay? She's acting strangely, almost depressed.// I try not to worry about it too much, and continue cooking, trying to get my mind off of it. When the oil is heated up, I add the diced onion to the skillet. I grab a pot, fill it with water, salt it, and then add the spaghetti. I put the pan on the stove and turn it on, waiting for the steam to soften the spaghetti so that it will fit in the pot. I stir the onion, then peel and dice the garlic, and add it to the skillet. I grab another pot, fill it with water, salt it, and then add the green beans to it. I put it on the stove and turn on the heat. I put the lid on the pot with spaghetti and set a ten-minute timer. I add the can of tomato to the skillet with onion and garlic, stir then add the various herbs. I leave the sauce to simmer, then go to the fridge, open it and take out the Parmesan cheese. I grate some of it, then get back to the stove to stir the sauce. //They're still fighting. Taking the weekend off didn't work. But what now? Will they get divorced?// I keep stirring the sauce, and after about six minutes of the pasta cooking, I add some of the cooking liquid to the sauce. I stir it well, then wait for the spaghetti and green beans to be done. //I'll have to ask her tonight. So I know what to tell $girlName.// I drain the spaghetti, then add it to the skillet with the sauce. I stir it, then drain the green beans. The door to the backyard opens—I turn around and look at my $girlRel; she's wearing her swimsuit and carrying a towel. She sniffs the air and says, "Smell's good. I'm so hungry." "Good thing it's nearly done then." I grab two plates from the cabinet and serve the pasta. I sprinkle the grated cheese on top, then add the green beans to the plate. My $girlRel is standing next to me and grabs two forks from the drawer. We carry the plates and utensils to the kitchen dining table.

We sit down next to each other and attack the plate. I look at her, and tell her, "$WomanShortRel and $manShortRel came home when you were swimming." She looks at me, then looks down, looking kind of glum. I tell her, "They were tired, they went straight to their room." I sigh, put my fork down, and squeeze her shoulder. "I'm sure they missed you too, but you know how they are." "Sure, of course." I look at her, and see her listlessly poking her food. She sighs, and continues eating, but her enthusiasm is gone. We continue eating in silence for a while. I break it after some time, asking her how the swimming went. We chat a little, and finish dinner. I take the plates to the sink and rinse them off. My $girlRel is standing next to me, I hand her the dishes, and she puts them in the dishwasher. Next, I rinse off the utensils, and then the pots and skillet, as well as the cutting board. When the dishwasher is loaded, I tell her, "Time for your homework." As we go up the stairs together, I tell her, "I still need to do some myself, but if you need help with anything, just ask." She nods, and we split up, going into our rooms. I sit down behind my computer and work on my English assignment. After half an hour, I hear a knock on my door. I get up from the desk and open it; my $girlRel is standing outside my room, and says, "Can you help me with my math homework?" I smile and nod and follow her into her room. I sit down behind her desk. She moves in to sit on my lap—then pauses and says, "Shit, my swimsuit is still wet." "Right, I'll go wait outside—" "No, it's fine. Just, don't look." She moves away from me, behind my back, and I hear her open a drawer. I wait for her to get changed, looking forward. I listen to her footsteps; as they come toward me, I look over my shoulder. She's now wearing a white tee and exercise boyshorts.

I sit up straight and make room for her to sit down. She sits down on my lap, and I put my hand around her waist. The short tee she's wearing leaves her belly bare, and I enjoy the feeling of her warmth and smooth skin. With every breath she takes, I feel my arm press into her skin.

I feel her relax as she leans on my chest. She turns her head upwards, looking at me. I ask her, "Was that all?" "Yep, I'm done with my homework now." I look at the clock; We're ten minutes ahead of schedule. I let go of her, and she untangles herself from my embrace and gets up from the chair. I get up as well and tell her, "Time to go cycling then. It's too dark, though, so you'll have to cycle on the trainer in the gym."

I walk out of her room, and my $girlRel follows me. I tell her, "I need to change, you go ahead." She nods, and we split up; she goes down the stairs, and I go into my own room. I take off my clothes, then get into exercise clothing. I sit down behind my computer and turn it on. I think about the conversation I need to have with my $womanRel and print out the budget I'd written up earlier. I turn the computer off and get up from the desk. I grab a towel, walk out of my room, and then go into the home office to take the sheet out of the printer. I go downstairs, then into the basement, joining my $girlRel in the gym. I sit down on the exercise bike next to hers and start cycling as well. I take out my phone and start one of my playlists using the media system's app. My $girlRel looks at me and says, "You and your classical music. What's this piece called?" "Mozart's Requiem. I like it when working out"—I pant—"it really gets the blood flowing." I look at her and ask, "You don't like it? Want to listen to something else?" "Nah, it's fine. I kind of like these epic orchestral pieces." I smile as she says it and continue cycling. The sound of us panting fills the room, and we work out in relative silence, only speaking occasionally. I glance at the clock; it's a quarter to ten. Feeling thirsty, I look at my $girlRel and ask, "Can I have a sip of your water?" "Sure, go ahead." I lean over to her bike and take the bidon out of its holder. I drink from it, greedily, then put it back in its place. I keep cycling for another five minutes, then tell her, "I need to go and speak to our $womanRel." She looks at me, and I say, "I need to convince her to give us more money to hire Paul and the others."

I can't even remember when I was last in it.// I walk around it, looking at the neglected furniture. //It's pretty big.// I wipe some of the sweat off using the towel, then sit down on one of the lounge chairs next to the table in the center of the room. //If we put an Endless Pool here, in the middle, with a mirror on the bottom and cameras all around, she could see her stoke in real-time. And Paul and Mike could correct her while showing her the problem on screen.// I shake my head. //Focus. I need to convince her first.// I hear footsteps approaching the sunroom, and get up from the chair. I'm still a little sweaty, but move to greet my $womanRel. She enters the room; she's a petite woman with bags under her eyes. She has large blue eyes and golden hair in a sleep updo style. She enters the room and looks at me. I move toward her, and ask, "$WomanRel, how was your evening? Did you get some rest?" "I did. I feel a little better." She points at the lounge chairs and says, "Let's sit, and talk." I nod and sit down with her. We look at each other for a few seconds, not saying anything. She then asks, "How was your weekend?" "It went fine. There were no problems to speak of." She rubs her throat, and we sit there watching each other. "How was $girlName's swim practice?" Our eyes meet. She adjusts her blue nightgown, and I answer, "It went well. The coach praised her, she beat her personal record." She nods, "Good, that's good." The conversation falls quiet again, and I look around the room, avoiding eye contact. //Why do I find it so hard to talk to her?// I hear her sigh, and she says, "This isn't working. "I've had a lot of time to think this weekend." She pauses. I look her in the eyes, she then continues, "I feel like I have done you and your $girlRel a disservice. I prioritized work and neglected you, I regret it and want to become more involved." //She wants to be involved? After all this time, she wants to fix things?// She looks down as she sees the expression on my face—I clench my fist, and calm myself. //This is a bad start.// She looks at me again and says, "You're angry. Do you"—her voice quivers—"and $girlName hate me?" I shake my head, "No. She doesn't hate you, and neither do I." She looks down and fiddles with her bracelet. //Damnit, if it was even a week ago, I would have been all for this. But now, it's bad. If she starts to get involved, all she will do is distract $girlName.// "I do resent you for abandoning us."—I take a deep breath—"But mainly, I missed you, and I wished that you were more present." //But is that all? I don't want them getting closer, because it will distract $girlName? Or do I just not want anyone taking my place?// She's rubbing her hands and asks, "And, do you still want that? For me to be more present?" I meet her eyes. //Maybe I can use this.//

I give her a nervous smile, swallow, then say, "Of course, $womanShortRel. I'd really like that. And $girlName would like it too." She slumps down in her chair and sighs in relief, then moves to speak—I sit up straight and look her in the eyes and tell her, "We need to talk about something first." She looks at me, puzzled, and waits for me to elaborate. "More involved, what does that mean exactly?" "I've spoken with your $manRel, about our problems, and how to go on." She swallows and continues, "I will spend less time at work, and more at home, with the two of you. I want to get to know you both, right now I feel like we're practically strangers." I lean forward, putting my elbows on my knees and steeple my fingers. I sit there for a few seconds, then tell her, "I think that $girlName'd really like that."

"But... I'm sorry, it's not possible. It's her dream to swim in the Olympics in three years. To achieve it, she needs to give it her all." I shake my head and smile, the continue, "You and $manShortRel are her biggest motivators. She has always wished, more than anything, for you to care about her swimming. For you to come to her practice. Or meets. Or championships. "But you never did. The only time she was praised was when she brought home a medal. So she aimed higher, and higher, but to no effect. She's convinced that to get you to care, she needs to swim in the Olympics, and do well in them." "But! I can support her, I can show her I care, and help her achieve it—" "No, you will just confuse her. She believes that you don't." //Sorry, $womanShortRel.// "She wants to prove to you that you were wrong not to." She's staring down at the floor, and her chin quivers. I feel a lump in my throat as I continue, "So, please, don't get in her way." "Th—then there's really nothing I can do?" Her shoulders shake, and I feel my chest tighten as guilt overwhelms me.

"That isn't true. There are loads of things you can do for her, in fact, I wanted to talk to you myself. I need your help." She looks up at me, vacantly, and asks, "I can help?" I nod enthusiastically and tell her, "Yes, there are loads of things we need help with. At home,"—she sits up straight in her chair and looks me in the eyes—"with the $Education, we really could use your help." "What can I do?" "This weekend, I confirmed that she really wants to go for it, and I explained what that entails. I told her that she has to work even harder, that every second of every day will be planned out, dedicated to her training, with hardly any time for leisure or friends. That it will be hard and lonely, that basically, her entire life from here on out will revolve around it. "And she accepted it, she's ready for it. And as part of that, her coach made her a new training schedule, and I've hired another swimming instructor to oversee her practice here at home. I need you to okay the expenses for the people I want to hire." She nods and says, "Of course, whatever you need." "Here"—I hand her the budget sheet—"is a list of people that I want to hire." I watch her read it, and see her nodding. //Right, I still need to actually hire Paul.// "I also need to find a good attorney, to actually hire all these people, so I was wondering if you knew any." "This all seems fine"—she rubs her wrist—"but all of this must take you a lot of time... Maybe, I could help?" She looks at me, anxiously, and I smile. "Of course, yes, if you could help me with the administration, that would be amazing. A real help." She begins to smile as well, and nods, then says, "The attorney won't be a problem. For the others, I'll have to search and ask around, but I'm sure I'll find them." //She seems excited about working together.// I nod along with her and say, "We're gonna have to convince $manShortRel as well, it's going to be expensive." She just smiles and says, "Don't worry about that, I'll convince him." "I'll be counting on you, $womanShortRel." I say and relax in my chair. //That went well. She'll keep her distance, but help administratively. Which means I'll be able to spend more time with $girlName.// I look at my $womanRel and see that she's looking at me. She rubs the back of her neck and then leans forward and asks, "But, is this enough? Isn't there anything else I can do?"

I'm silent for a while, and rub my wrist as she looks at me. //Can I really ask her to make up with $manShortRel?// She doesn't say anything, and lets me think. I'm not sure what to do, and say, "There is... But, I'd like to know why you and $manShortRel have been fighting lately." She raises her eyebrows and stays silent for a while. She then hesitantly says, "It's between him and me, you shouldn't worry about it." "$WomanShortRel, c'mon. I'm old enough, it's important." I look her in the eyes and smile, nodding my head. She hesitates, then grimaces and shakes her head. She tells me, "No, I really shouldn't. I don't see why you need to know." "Well, there's something else you can help us with. But"—I pause and look down—"before I ask, I really need to know what happened, why you're arguing all the time." We look at each other for a while. She then nods and says, "I suppose, if it's to help, I could tell you. I guess we just grew apart a little. We were both busy with work, and too tired to do much together. But, a marriage takes work, and when you neglect it, well, you get into trouble. "We stopped communicating, and little annoyances became big arguments. It came to the point where we didn't want to spend time together, instead preferring to work late, seeing as little of the other as possible. "I found out last week, that he had an affair, because I was not available to him—" "$WomanShortRel! You're blaming yourself for him cheating on you‽" I shout and clench my fist as I look at her. She looks at the ground and says, "Well, not really, of course. But he isn't a bad man, I shouldn't have told you this, I don't know why I—" "Don't defend him." I get up from my chair and walk up to her, and hug her. "I can't believe that he would cheat on you." She pulls me tight and says, "I—I didn't noti—tice anything, I didn't suspect him at all"—I feel her shudder as she begins to sob—"but when I found out I was just shattered, I couldn't understand how he could do that to me." I rub her back gently, and after a while, she says, "I shouldn't have told you this, he's still your $manRel, and I don't want you to hate him for this." "Don't worry, I figured out that he's an ass long ago." She smiles as I say it, and I smile back. I tell her, "Seriously, though, don't worry. I'm really happy you told me, and I'll keep quiet." I get up and move back to my chair. I sit down and look at my $womanShortRel. //It would be best if $girlName doesn't find out, and they make up, and things go back to normal. Can I really ask for her to forgive him? And should I?// I scratch the back of my head and see that she's looking at me.

"Well, I understand now. And this weekend, you two talked things through..." I look at her, and she nods, so I continue, "Did you decide what you will do next? Divorce, or reconciliation?" "I don't know, I'm thinking about it. I still love him, and I know that divorce is a sin, but every time I see him, I just feel so betrayed. Do I really want to spend the rest of my life with him?" She shakes her head and smiles, then says, "So, I don't know." "$WomanShortRel, I know this is cruel, but please, make up with him. $girlName is so worried about you two, afraid that you'll divorce. I've tried telling her that even if you do, you'll love her the same, but it's no help. So, for a few more years at least, make up and get along, like nothing's wrong." I look at my $womanRel and see the shock on her face. //I guess it's too much to ask, I'll need to convince her.// "You said that you wanted to be a better $womanRel to her, and sacrifice is part of $WomanHood. Isn't doing everything you can—" "It's okay, $boyName. You've convinced me, I'll forgive him. It's what the Bible tells me to do as well. And it's what I want, too." I sigh and relax in my chair. //It worked.// I feel my heart beating rapidly and a tightness in my chest. //I'm really sorry, $womanShortRel, but it's what's best for $girlName.// We sit for a while in silence. I look at her, and she smiles and says, "You've grown up so much. You're a great $boyRel to her, I'm so proud of you." //I'm not so sure about that, given the way I feel about her.// I smile back and say, "Thanks, I'm trying my best." "Could we talk like this every so often? I'd really like that." "Me too. I should go check on $girlName, though, she should be done exercising now." "Of course, go. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll take care of all the things you asked me to."

I leave my $womanRel behind, walk out of the sunroom, go up the stairs, and knock on my $girlRel's door. There's no response. I knock again, then open the door. She's not in her room. I hear the sound of water hitting the ground coming from the bathroom. //She must be showering.// I walk up to the bathroom's door and raise my hand to knock—the sound of water splattering suddenly stops, and I hear a soft moan coming through the door. I freeze in my tracks, and listen intently. //Is she masturbating again?// I feel myself get aroused, and try to hear more. The sound of water hitting the floor continues, and I do not hear her moan again. I wait a couple of seconds, then knock on the door, and say, "$girlNick, I'm back—" I hear a small yelp, and then her answer, "I'm nearly done too, I'll come to your room after." "Okay, see you then." I walk away from the door, still aroused by the thought of catching her in the act again. I walk out of her room, go into my own, and get out of my exercise clothing. I stand naked in my room, and wrap my hand around my half-erect prick's shaft, and run my palm across it. I close my eyes and think about my $girlRel—I shake my head and sigh. //I don't have time.// I get into my pajamas and lie down on my bed. I take deep breaths and try to calm down, willing the tent in my bottoms to go down. A few minutes pass, and I hear a knock on my door, and then see it open. My $girlRel comes into the room—she's in her pajamas and has a towel wrapped around her head. I smile at her and sit up, making space for her to sit down next to me. She comes over and sits down next to me, and I ask her, "Nice shower?" "Yeah! I would have showered like four times today if I had time. I felt like a layer of sweat and chlorine came off, it was damn satisfying." "I bet. Tired?" She stretches and yawns, then says, "Really tired." As she says it, she rolls on her side, lying down behind me. She crawls higher up the bed, and rolls over on her back. I turn my body towards her and look at her. She then asks, "So... You talked to $womanShortRel?" "Yeah, I did." I smile and say, "She said okay to everything, so money's not an issue." "Really?" "Yep. She's even going to help me out with the administration." She smiles, but then bites her lip. I stroke her cheek gently and ask, "Still worried about $womanShortRel and $manShortRel?" She nods, so I tell her, "It's going to be fine, we talked about that too. They've patched things up, and everything will go back to normal." She expels the breath she was holding, and the tension leaves her body; she closes her eyes, breathing in deeply, then yawns and settles into my bed comfortably.

I look at her lying on my bed, eyes closed, and at total ease. //I feel bad about asking her to make up with him, but it was worth it.// I stroke my $girlRel's cheek again, enjoying the sensation of her soft skin. She opens her eyes and looks at me, questioningly, "$boyNick?" I remove my hand and tell her, "I'm just happy you've relaxed a little." She smiles a little and takes hold of my hand. She then closes her eyes and just lies there, holding my hand tightly. We stay silent for a while, just enjoying each other's presence. I then ask her, "Wanna watch some television?" "It's kinda late..." "Yeah, no problem if you're too tired." "No, I meant that they'd notice if I'm not in my room, they'd catch us." I smile and say, "Don't worry about that, I have an idea. Let's go brush our teeth, and I'll show you." I get up from the bed and wait for my $girlRel to get up as well, and we walk into the bathroom. She takes the towel from her head and dries off her hair one final time before throwing the towel in the laundry basket. We stand before the mirror and brush our teeth. I then open the door to her room and motion with my head for her to follow. I walk to the door to the hallway, and turn the lock, and tell her, "Now, we'll just turn off the lights, and for all they know, you're fast asleep." "Right, our secret passage. I never thought of using it this way." "Yep. We just go to my room through the bathroom and leave your door locked shut. Easy, right?" "Yeah! Okay, can we watch Breaking Bad?" "Sure, one episode. Then it's time to sleep." She nods excitedly, and we walk into the bathroom adjoining our rooms.

I walk into my room with my $girlRel in tow and sit down on my bed. I point at the door and tell her, "Can you lock it?" She nods and does so. I move over to the side of my bed, and grab the remote, and get the episode ready. I make a cushion of pillows against the wall, and wait for my $girlRel to join me. She climbs onto the bed and sits next to me, hip-to-hip, then gets the blanket and drapes it over us both. I start the episode, and we watch it quietly. About halfway through, I feel my $girlRel stir; she lies down on her side and cuddles up to me. I look at her and ask, "Want to just go to sleep?" She shakes her head, and we continue watching the episode. I wrap my arms around her back and pull her closer. A few minutes later, I feel her head rest on my chest, and I look at her; her eyes are closed, and she is breathing rhythmically. //I guess she was too tired after all.// I look at her as sleeping face and smile, and feel my heartbeat quicken. //Do I let her sleep here again?// I can hear my beating in my chest and begin to pant nervously. //I want to, but I can't. They're home now, they'd notice, I'd be in big trouble.// I shake my head and make up my mind. //No, I can't let her sleep here again.// I shake her gently and say, "$girlNick, wake up. Wake up." I put more force into it, and say again, "$girlName, wake up." Still no response. I smile and think to myself, //I'll just let her sleep.// I gently raise her head from my chest, then move my other hand under her armpit, lifting her body further off the mattress. I push my arm through and wrap it around her back and sit upright at the same time, pulling her close to my chest. I move closer to the edge of the bed, put my feet on the ground, hug her tight, and then stand up, moving my free arm to support her from below, around the bend in her knees, sweeping them to the side. I feel her stir; I loosen my grasp of her upper body and shift into a bridal carry. I start moving slowly, careful to not make too much sound or wake her, and move through the bathroom, and go into her room. I walk to her bed, pull the blanket aside, and gently put her down. I tenderly tuck her in and look at her sleeping face. I feel my mouth get dry and reach out to touch her—I pause and stop, my hand hovering in the air. I sigh, and let my hand fall down. //I don't want to wake her.// I climb onto her bed and lie down next to her. I look at her as she breathes in, and out, at the blanket rising and falling as she does so, and close my eyes. //$girlNick, I love you so much. Not just as a $boyRel, more than that. But that's my problem, not yours, I'll deal with it. I know I'll never hurt you.// I lie with her in her bed for a while, then get up and look down at her. //She's my $girlRel, but I just can't help it. She's so pretty, so kind, so sexy. It's no good. I can't let her know how I feel, or she'll hate me.// I bend down and press my lips to her forehead and whisper, "Good night." @@.centered; ''END OF PROLOGUE'' @@
