Partners In Crime: Kyle & Carmens Story – Part 1

Partners In Crime: Kyle & Carmens Story. Part 1. Author: Hcarver52. Hello all, this is my first story ever. Mind the unedited grammar. Complete fiction. This starts slow as it is the first chapter. The main characters are in an obvious age range, however it never specifies them. you decide how old you prefer them to be. I tried to write a realistic story, not one that could only happen in a bad porno. Would love criticism. Thanks!

Partners In Crime: Kyle & Carmens Story. Part 1

Author: Hcarver52

My muscles ached horribly. My heart was beating insanely fast. sweat dripped down my forehead. Adrenaline oozed out of my every poore. I wasn’t about to bother wiping it away though. My task at hand was far more important requiring all my concentration. and i was about come to the climax of this task. i felt as though battery acid pumped through my legs. my arms crossed infront of my chest, my hands trembling. i clenched both my fists pulled them in and crouched down that last 2 inches. Then in an explosive instant I jumped straight up into the air kicked and let a battle cry. my form was perfect, stances low, power at max and now i had the focus for my form that without a doubt would earn me first place at my martial arts tournament that was coming up very soon.

My name is Kyle I am a high school student I live in southern california. I really shouldn’t give any more details seeing the nature of my story. I’m pretty athletic, fairly tall, pretty cut abs. Defined chest. Goes along with martial art training. I thought Myself to be decent looking. I come from a pretty well off family. My parents are still together.

My dad is a shipping coordinator for a chemical company and my mom is in the sales department at the same company. I have a younger sister Carol, who besides being an attention seeking nosey 7th grader is not the worst person in the world. I also have a cousin Carmen who stays with us a lot. Carmens parents are developers in that same company my parents work for. They sometimes accept temporary out of country positions. the pay is great but they end up being away for 3 to 6 months at a time. Which is why Carmen stays / lives with us so much. Her parrents have set up transportation for her to be taken to and from our home to the next town over where her home and school district were. She just came too stay with us again this time 2 days ago.

Martial arts is my passion, always has been since i was a kid. I just earned my black belt and was about to compete on the blackbelt level in this tournament. Just a little intimadating. I was in my backyard practicing my form. it was getting late. 10:30. I had gotten a solid 2 hours of training in. I was done for the evening. It was time for a good wind down.

It was a Friday night and my parrents were at their friends house for their weekly adaults time card game (excuse for drinking). My parents like to pretend or portray they are responsible people who don’t drink too much or party down. But I’ve seen them on some of the nights after they hang out with their friends. However they expect my sister and I and Carmen too for that matter to be angels and avoid trouble completly. They lay the hammer down hard when we get in the smallest amount of trouble. Grounding, the occasional belt maybe. you get the idea. So growing up in these circumstances you either never break any rules or you learn to not get caught.

Like I said previously I needed a good wind down. And being a young californian I enjoyed smoking pot. I wasn’t a complete stoner with hemp hats and dred locks and and all that hippie shit. Hell, no one would probably asusume that i did smoke just by looking at me. I jumped the fence into my neighbors back yard and retrieved my stash from under a rock next to their pond. I was about to jump over the wall and head up the mountain behind our street when I over heard Carmen scream, “Are you fucking kidding me!?!? Lauren’s going to prom with Mike now?!?! What a fucking slut!!! I swear that asshole needs to be castrated!!!” She was in her bedroom / guest room with the window open. she must have been on the phone.

I assumed she was talking about her ex Mike. I had never asked her too much about what had happened between them but I know he had been cheating on her. I hesitated for a minute debating whether to mind my own business, go up the mountain and get high or if I should go and try to talk to Carmen. She was not usually the type to be overly dramatic and I truly did care. So my conscience won the debate and I went to talk to her. I aproached her window and tapped a few times.

She looked up at me startled. She ended her phone call and apolagised. “Sorry I didnt mean to scream and make a scene, Mike is literally trying to get me to kill him.” I didn’t want to pry and be nosey but i was concerned for her. “You want to talk about it?” I asked. He is just an asshole”, she replied with a sigh. “I heard you say you were gonna castrate him? that must be something pretty serious, remind me never to piss you off.” I joked with her trying to ease the tension i could feel coming from her. “It’s not something i really wonna talk about.” She said. “I figured as much,” I replied to her “Sorry, I’m not trying to pry or be nosey.” “I’m know,” she said “sorry, I’m not trying to be a bitch. I know you’re just being nice.” She looked up at me with tears forming and forced a smile.

Her forced smile threw me off for a second. One thing I have yet to mention is that Carmen is a fox. (I know right, not usually something you refer to your cousin as.) She is very pretty and has an angelic smile. We were always pretty close growing up. With our parents working for the same company we practicly grew up being baby sat at each others houses.

We never really had a falling out so to sayy but we did kind of do our own thing and go different ways there for a year or so. I guess I attributed it to age and her getting popular and all of her friends. I was glad that she was living with us now though. Kind of like having an old buddy come around again. But I could see a difference in her in the past few days. And I’m guessing now it was Mike that was the cause of her having to force a smile. It wasn’t her genuine real smile that I knew.

I know something that may make you feel a little better, I said as I held up the blunt that I gotten out of my stash. (My stash That i kept hidden next to my neighbors pond) She laughed and replied ,”You didn’t learn your lesson the last time you got busted smoking pot did you? You just can’t help but find ways to get into trouble.”

What can I say, I like smoking pot. I replied, “It keeps me sane and helps me tolerate people. Besides you can only get in trouble if you get caught.”

How did you get caught last time? she asked. “That asshole next door smelled it when i was out here smoking and called the fucking cops. I said pointing at my neighbors house. “Thats why i hide my stash in his backyard. He gets the blame if someone finds it.” she broke out laughing, “That is hilarious!! Oh my god you are too much!”

She was genuinely smiling now. Still a hint of tears in her eyes but she was atleast laughing and happy, atleast for the moment. “Come on” I said “Lets go destress, don’t tell me you turned into a goody good and your too cool to get high with your cousin.” “Alright you talked me into it” she said, “But just because you peer pressured me into it. What about your parents? Won’t they be back soon? And What if that old guy next door smells it again? I don’t think I could handle dealing with the cops being stoned, let alone your parents.”

“Ye of little faith, i laughed, “I hike half way up the back side of the mountain up to where that little lake is, besides my parents wont be home for at least an hour. plenty of time to lose the smell.” I winked at her and gestured for her to follow me. She laughed and jumped up off her bed and walked over to the window. “I do have to hand it to ya” she said, “you are resourceful.” She slid the window open a little and jumped up and sat on the window sill and swiviled her legs out. “i don’t want Carol to see me leave the room” she said, “she follows me like a lost puppy.”

I tried to avert my eyes and not make it obvious that I had been discretly checking out her ass as she climbed out the window. You see like i said Carmen was indeed a fox. Her ass is a little big on her small frame but far from a ghetto booty. Her boobs fit her the same. I’d say C cups maybe, (I’m not exactly and expert on bra size) Shoulder length golden brown hair, bright blue eyes and she stood about 5 foot 2″. I couldn’t believe Mike had let her get away. She’s definitely a catch.

We jumped the rock wall / fence in my back yard and proceeded to head up the mountain in silence. I was trying to come up with something to say to her when she broke the silence. “So talk to me” she said, “Tell me about what you’ve been up to, I’ve missed having you around all the time.” as she playfully punched me in the arm. “Tell me about ur girlfriends and all that juicy stuff.” She said as we came up on a boulder to sit on and enjoy the view of the illuminated streets.

What a bad topic for her to bring up. I had just been dumped and humiliated a few months ago. “You would have to go there wouldn’t you?” I said as lit the blunt and took a good long drag off it. feeling the smoke roll down into my lungs. I stopped to reflect on the painful memory for a moment and i passed her the blunt. She interrupted my daze when she passed it back to me and said,”Oh come on it cant be that bad? did your asshole of an Ex cheat on you with your best friend and then hook up and invite her to go to prom I was soposed to go to?”

No i replied, “That does sound pretty bad though, is that what happened with Mike?” “More or less” she replied smugly.

We had been passing the blunt back and forth a few times by this time and I could feel it kicking in. “She told me the whole It’s not you its me bullshit. And she told her big mouth friend I wasn’t doing it for her in bed. which got around the school. So thats where I’m at with all the girls in my high school.”

We sat there for a brief moment, “A self proclaimed whore,” she said, “She’s hardly a high schooler and she knows that much about sexual expectations? I garrentee she’s Preggo before she graduates. If she graduates.” I cracked a smile. Even though it was a painful memory, Carmens jokes and laughter made me forget about it.

You want me to kick her ass like old times? She asked me with a grin. “No” I replied to her, “besides you stopped growing years before everyone else did, she’d probably run you over like a bulldozer.” She playfully punched me in the ribs. “You remember when we were in 4th grade?”I asked her “and you beat up my bully in the parking lot of the mall? And then I ripped off his shoes while you had him down!” I laughed as I remembered

“He had to walk across the parking lot back to the mall with the ground blistering hot after being beaten up!
Yea you busted his nose and he had horrible burns and blisters on his feet”” I chuckled. “”We were partners in crime even back then,”” she said with a smile. “”See I have missed you cuz! We always got into shenanigans together.”” she laughed as she put her arm loosly over my shoulder briefly to give me a hug. “”Don’t worry about that slut.”” And she released my shoulder. We continued Laughing and passing the blunt back and forth as I told her other high school drama and about my tournament coming up. She told me of her drama with Mike and her plans to go to prom anyway just to make him jealous.”

We had finished smoking and were enjoying the night sky and our buzz when the worst happened. We saw head lights speeding towards us up the trail. I could make out that it was a little off road ATV. I instantly knew it was the county sheriff coming up there after us.

Now let me take a minute and explain, even though there were houses at the top of the mountain. The back part of the mountain was off limits and deemed illegal for people to be there. Im guessing it had to do with wildfires. years ago the whole back side went up in flames within minutes and a few people died. So here we are out late, on a mountain where we aren’t sopoused to be, smoking pot ,which was technically putting us in danger of starting another wild fire. I was about to be in deep shit. there wasnt really any other path back down the mountain to evade the oncoming sheriff.

I turned to look at Carmen, “What are we gonna do?!?!” she cried. “We can stay here and let this guy arrest us for tresspassing, drugs, and neglegent behavior burning anything up on the mountain side.” I told her, “Or we can run down the path to that little lake and try to lose him.” We shared a brief glance and we both bolted down the path. I could hear the carts little engine now. He was getting closer. I prayed he wasn’t a K-9 unit. We were maybe 300 yards in front from him by the time we reached the lake.

i was desperatly looking for a place for us to hide not seeing too many places to find cover. Carmen already a few steps ahead of me, “Our only chance is to crawl up into those big boulders” she pointed to a big pile that was half submerged. “we are gonna get wet muddy and cold” i warned her. i was somewhat familiar with the area and had been in this little lake a few times. i had been coming up here for years and had only seen enforcement a few times. they had certainly never chased me down at night in an ATV especially! one on patrol must have seen us….ORRRR….Someone must have seen me light up the blunt down in the neighborhood and called.” I came to the suddent realization.

We then took off running dashing into the water and into the big pile of boulders. I started to sink in the mud. up past my knees by the time i had reached them. Carmen right behind me helped her past me and into the crevices. I could see the head lights roll up on the front of the lake and stop. a spot light lit up the other end up the lake where the trail wrapped up and over the next hill. we silently crouched down even farther. both of us up to our waists in the water and mud. the light began to pan over the lake towards us.

I crouched down farther and notioned Carmen to get lower. We were practicly laying down in the water now. The spot light panned up into the hills and shut off, However the head lights stayed on and didnt move. We stayed like that for what must have been 10 minutes. Then We heard it, must have been within 20 feet of us, “I lost visual of them after when they ran over the hill. I don’t see them here.” and then the static sound “Copy that, ride down to the bottom of devils canyon for randeveau.” “Copy”

A minute or so later I could see a figure approach the vehicle and drive off. Had we really just gotten away with it. I was over joyed. I had nearly jepardized the rest of the spring and summer and my martial art tournament. probably my privledge to train too. My parents might just do that to me out of spite.

I looked back to carmen. She was grinning from ear to ear. “Lets get the fuck outta here Im freezing.” she whispered. we started to wade out of the rocks and back towards the path when I heard the sound of that ATV and lights coming up over the horizon of the hill. “Get back in there!!” i shouted in near silence. she jumped back towards our hide out and completly submerged herself. I followed suit and did the same. It must have been a minute that i ws under water it seemed. but then I felt carmens hand grip my shoulder and pull me up. I gasped for air and wiped the mud out of my eyes. I was thouroughly covered from head to toe with mud.

He must have forgotten his spotlight some where because he sped off with it down the path again pointing it out into the field. she told me. I looked up at her to realize she was covered in mud just as bad as I was, if not worse. “Lets get out of here now!” she cried flinging mud from her arms and off her face. This was by far the muddiest i had ever been or seen anyone.

We waded our way out of the water and onto the path. I was shivering horribly, quickly walking down the past. I could see the ATV on the otherside of the valley now going up and over another hill. “I am so fucking cold, oh my god.” she wimpered as we quickly hurried our way back down the mountain side towards my house. “Shit what time is it?” I asked her. “I can’t tell” she replied back to me, “My watch is covered and caked with mud!”

I am so sorry! i told her through my violent shivvers, “I never wanted to get you into any trouble like this.”

It isn’t your fault she replied through her own violent shivers, “I knew we weren’t soposed to be up there, getting high none the less.” We approached the rock wall that was the fence to my back yard. I could see the clock hanging on the back wall by the hot tub. “11:30! Fuck! My parrents are gonna be home in like 15 minutes! We are busted for sure!” “What!” she replied “Oh my god, I’m gonna miss my prom! They’ll tell my parents! they’ll make me move to France with them for the rest of the year! NO! NO! NO!”

When they see us covered in mud like this and how glassy red our eyes are they are gonna put two and two together! I Put my hand on the wall to hoist myself up and realized i left a muddy stain where ever i touched. “Christ we leave a trail of mud anywhere we go!” she said with dread, “We are so fucked!”

I stood there in silence letting the gravity of the situation hit me…. Let it hit me hard…. “Heres what we are going to do” , I said slowly. “You aren’t going to France on behalf of me.” I grabbed her by both shoulders, ” You are going to jump this fence and run inside to the shower off the guest room and clean up, just hide your muddy clothes. If my parents catch you in trouble they will quickly tie me to it also. You won’t automatically get tied to this if they only bust me.” When they get here I’ll tell them what happened minus you being there and us beinng fugitives.” I winked at her.

Theres a shower on the other side of the house She told me like I hadn’t already thought of this. I replied, “Yes but i’d have to walk past Carol covered in mud and I doubt I’m gonna have enough time to clean up my trail of mud before my mom and dad get home. You know how my Dad is. You could set a watch by him.

She stood there in a daze. “But your tournament! they’ll ground you for the summer. Hell they’d probably ground you from your kung fu class!! You know they would just to spite you.” (aparently she and I had the same understanding of my parents.) “I know” I replied to her as I bent down on one knee and cupped my hands to help her over the wall.”And I’ve told you a hundred times I don’t practice kung fu!

Just dont go inside with any muddy clothes on. I’ll wait out here for a few minutes. before I come in and clean up behind you. She stared hard at me for a moment then stepped up into my hand and leapt over the wall. I would walk in behind her and assume the guilt for the mud trail and hide her clothes to hide the evidence.

I stood there shivering and looked up the mountain side to which we had just evaded. I Watched the moon arc across the sky. soaking in my last moments of peace and freedom before all hell was about to begin. I stood there with my eyes closed, when I heard her voice. “Kyle!” she yelled in silence. I turned around to see her on the other side of the rock wall. “Come on! We Have like ten minutes to wash the mudd off our faces and feet, and we are both in the clear.

We are both gonna drip mud every where until we get it washed off. I replied to her, “Besides I can still train if I’m grounded. what are they gonna tell me? I cant do my forms in my room? I’m not gonna send you to france.”

Just jump the fucking wall now you dumbass! she leaned in to yell at me face to face. Like i said we really did grow up very close. Her trying to punk me reminded me of older times. She caught me by my collar. “NOW” she said. I reluctantly jumped the wall and followed her to the back door of my house.

I’m not going to be the one who has to watch you be grounded all summer while i don’t have to be in france! she said , “it’s just a quick shower. We’ve been through this hundreds of times before when we were little in the bath tub right? It’s a little different a decade later but its not like its creepy right??? We’re not going to screw around or fuck…Hell we could shower back to back eyes closed. So why does one of us have to take the fall when we can get around it?”

She did have a good point. I was shocked she would even consider this as an option. I didn’t even respond, i just started moving towards the back door. I grabbed a towel laying on the ground and slid open the door. We both shared a glance. “After you.” I told her as i turned around to give her privacy. Seconds later I heard a loud thud as she threw her clothes over the rock wall in my back yard before she walked inside leaving me out there.

This is really happening i thought to myself. I wasn’t sure if it was the pot, The roller coaster of events that we had just undergone or my body shivering for the past 15 minutes? But I felt like this was all a dream. I kicked off my sandals. I tried to pull my workout pants off seperately from my boxers but they were caked thick with mud.

“No turning back now” I said out loud as i stripped off my pants. I had only been naked around one other person since I had gone through puberty, my ex, and that itself was a painful memory. I peeled my shirt off over my head. I thought I was cold before I undressed. I was painfully cold now. I looked myself over. I was still covered in mud but not as bad. I was certain that my clothes were ruined. I wadded up my clothes and threw them over the back wall.

On the balls of my feet I closed the door behind me and walked through the darkened party room and into the attached bathroom. The lights were out and only a little light shone through from the party room. “Before you get in, flip the lights on and off real quick first. I want to see if any of this shit is coming off of me.”

I paused by the door attempting to conceal my man hood in my palm. I flipped the lights on for about 5 seconds and turned them off. “Fuck!” she said, “This mud is caked on me like crazy!”

“what should i do about the light? I asked her turning my head over my shoulder checking to make sure I wasn’t being watched.
‘We’re gonna need it to clean up! she barked back at me. “”OK don’t look I’m coming in.”” I yelled under my breath as i approached the shower my hand still cupping my dick, trying not to get hard. I pulled the shower curtain open from the back side of the tub and averted my eyes. I stepped in and stepped right into her. “”Oh shit sorry.”” we both mumbled as we blindly adjusted to each other in the tub. I Bumped her with my ass accidently but we both ignored it.”

The instant shock of the heat was overwhelming but pleasant. But when I wasn’t facing the water it was nearly unbearably cold. We both took our turns rotating back and forth back to back as we scrubbed ourselves. We both still shivvered as the mud drained off of us. “This isn’t gonna work'” she said through chattering teeth as she was facing away from the shower head. “We’re both gonna have to face the water to get it all off in time. Just no peaking.” I might have objected to try to hide the fact that I was a little hard, but I was still shivering bad. she hesitantly turned around to face the shower.

I caught a glimpse of her leg and foot but averted my gaze reluctantly as to not come across like a creep. We both stood there eyes shut side by side turned into each other awkwardly. Our bodies pressed up against each other. I tried to cup my hardening manhood. Eventually we both stopped shivering and the mud appeared to be coming off me. I began to relax as I Absorbed the heat from the steam and water. I could sense her coming back to life too. I could feel her standing up straighter beside me and that she had stopped shivering. At this point I’m guessing we had been in here maybe 5 minutes.

I couldn’t stand it anymore, my male brain had come back to life and was screaming at me that I was right next to a naked chick. Regardless that it was my cousin. I gave in and I snuck a few peaks. The mud had all wiped clean off her face. Her eyes shut tight. However the mud was still thick in her hair. I allowed my gaze to drop.

Her tits were rounded pale orbs of fleshy perfection. Golf ball sized pink areoles with perfect shape and under boob. They didn’t sag at all. They defied gravity as they hung from her petite frame. This set of tits would easy get the gold in the titty motor boating Olympics. I couldn’t get too good of a look at anything else at the second, but I couldn’t get the sight of her tits outta my head. Not that I wanted to. A Master piece would be the only way to describe. I had to force myself to look away before I got caught. My dick struggled against my will to not get hard.

I’m gonna sit down in here for a bit and warm up and let the water rinse out my hair. She said to me quietly as she sat down and folded her arms around herself into a ball.

Alright I replied to her trying to adjust myself so she wasn’t about to get a face full of my half hardened dick, “I’ll be out of your way soon, I’m almost got it all off of me, I just gotta rinse the shampoo out of my hair.” I began to kneel down a little and I hit her with my ass again. “Oh my god!” She laughed under her breath, ” did you just knock me in the head with your ass?!?!”

Yea I think I did I told her giggling as I knelt down and let the water roll over my head. “I’m gonna get ya back punk!” She laughed , “just maybe at a more convenient time. This doesn’t seem like an appropriate place to kick your ass!” I could tell she was trying to ease the tension.

You can try all you want shortie, I can hold my own now I told her playfully. As I whipped my hair back and turned my head to face hers. I opened my eyes absentmindedly to look her in the eye forgetting momentarily we weren’t sopoused to look in each others direction. When i did open them she was staring right back at me meeting my gaze.

Our faces only a few inches away. She had her genuine angelic smile back. We shared a smile for a quick moment and then turned our gaze back forward. From where we were sitting side by side in the tub we weren’t exposed to each other. She had her arms wrapped around her and I had tried to somewhat hide my dick from her sight especially when it had gotent hard. We sat there silently for a few moments.

You peaked. she teased out of no where. “Hey! I said defensively ,”I wasn’t looking down at you scoping you out! and your eyes were open too!”

Calm down, she said lightly , “Learn to take a joke.” She said as she leaned her head over to rest on my shoulder. I was caught off guard by this simple gesture which would have had no significance had we been wearing clothes. “I could just stay in here forever, this is so relaxing after everything we’ve been through in the past hour.” She chuckled as she leaned into me.

I didn’t know if she was coming on to me or we were just sharing a moment of platonic affection while we happened to be sitting next to each other naked. I reciprocated slightly and allowed my head to lay on hers. I chuckled,”we’re Half grown up and we are still getting into trouble! Atleast we are staying True to being partners in crime!” I said sarcastically As we turned to share another brief smile.

I’d say we toast to it with some Jameson but look how much trouble we got into tonight just because of some pot. She replied with a grin. We just sat there together side by side in the bath tub. Heads laying on each other for what seemed like several minutes.

Ok I’m gonna get outta here before we get caught and have to explain to my parents why I’m in the shower with my cousin. I said as I stood up. She started to reply but was cut off by the sound of the garage door opening. “Shit, times up” I told her as I stepped back and stepped out of the back of the shower. As I was stepped back I turned my head and tried to grab one last glimpse of her.

Knowing this was my last opportunity to grab an eye full of female perfection. Once again our gazes met. I tried to play it off my wandering eyes as I quickly stepped out. She tried to quickly avert her gaze too. I did manage to catch a quick glance of her ass as she began to stand up. I was fairly certain she caught me in my attempt.

I couldn’t hang around to talk about it though. I could hear my moms voice in the kitchen . I bairly dried myself with a towel. Tried to get some of the water outta my hair. I ran out into Carmens spare bedroom stark naked. I found a pair of black gym shorts laying on the ground and went to retrieve that same towel. I wiped up all the mud prints off the tile floor and threw the muddy towel back into Carmens bedroom. I raced out the back slider and started doing my martial art forms on the patio.

It looked perfectly innocent and acceptable when my mom walked around the corner and peeped out to look at me less than a minute later. “Training hard?” she said with a drunken grin. “Yea” I replied with my hands on my hips attempting to sound winded. “Well your dad cleaned house over at Randy’s” ,she told me as so matter of fact. “He took them for nearly 500 bucks!!!” She said emphasizeing her words drunkenly. “Time to celebrate!” As she threw her hands up and ran back in the house shouting with joy. I could see my dad in the kitchen gloating to Carol who must have been on the other side of the room watching tv. I hesitated a minute before I walked in. They continued to be giddy and goofy. I tried to remain aloof.

Drinks around cried my mom as she waved her hands about. I looked at her in surprise and then at my dad. My dad looked at me for a long second. “Hell it’s not gonna hurt him, sure let the young man have a drink” Carol cried out her disgust from the couch in the front room. “What are my options?” I asked him with a wide smile. (if only he knew what had transpired minutes before.) “red wine, brandy, Jose quervo , bud light annnnddd.

Some Jameson. “I’ll have one of each.” I said slyly he just laughed and reassured me that wasn’t gonna happen. “alright then.” I said as I grabbed two drinking glasses and filled them a quarter way up with the Jameson. “Two? I don’t think so young man.” he said assertively. “You aren’t gonna let Carmen have one too? I said with a let down face. “She’s our guest and she is family. You really think uncle Chris and aunt Vicki will care?!?!

He pondered on that for a few moments and said “what the hell, fine!” But that’s all Mr. I’m not playing.” he said pointing at me. “deal!” I shouted as I ran from the room with the beverages. I rounded the corner and into the party room. I set them behind me at the edge of the pool table. “Carmen come out here” I shouted through the closed bedroom door. She opened up a moment later drying her hair, fully dressed in a t shirt and leggings. No sign of mud anywhere. Her physique standing there in the door way caught me off guard for s second. Damn she was a work of art.

What? She replied after a few seconds of my silence with a coy smile as she cocked her head to the side. “What if I told you I had something to make you feel better?” I asked her. We both laughed hard at my reference to earlier in the evening before we went up the mountain. “I learned my lesson the first time you asked me that” she said with a laugh, “And I ended up being your partner in crime.” She quietly said with giggle.

I advanced towards her “You’re arguing my point for me, partner.” I said with a wink and a grin. I handed the glass to her and nodded backwards towards my parents to let her know where it came from and there was no trouble attached. A warm smile crept across her face. “Partners in crime.” we both laughed to each other and clinked glasses and took a sip.

“You were definately right about making me feel better.” She said to me with a cocked head and an inquisitive look. I couldn’t tell what was going through her head. Maybe all the events of the night had taken a toll on her. Maybe it was our newly rekindled bond. Hell, Maybe she was creeped out she caught me peaking on her earlier. The commotion quickly died down and everyone went to bed. Hours later I lay there in bed still thinking about all of it. Nearly getting caught up on the mountain by the cops.

Nearly been busted by my parents. The fact that I had practicly been forced to shower with Carmen. And all the complex glances and silent moments we had shared today. How did I feel about Carmen? She had always been my buddy. I had never fantasized about fucking her. Even a few years ago when she started to get hot. Was I having these thoughts simply because I had seen her naked? Was I that twisted that I’d start confusing feelings of love and intimacy with blood and family?

I had accidentally seen carol naked and vice versa plenty over the years. as well as my mother too for that matter. Never had any kind of thoughts or feelings about either of them… I decided to just drop the idea for now before I drove myself nuts.
