Chapter 17

It was the morning of Kaylee’s fifteenth birthday and she was excited. They were at the beach house where she, Carmen, and Natalia had spent the night.

When they arrived the previous day, the teenagers had enjoyed a late-afternoon swim and a generally care-free day. Now, though, Kaylee was starting to get anxious. She wasn’t sure what was going to happen that day, but she was pretty sure she’d be having a lot of sex.

When Kaylee had awakened, Natalia greeted her with a kiss. “Happy birthday, gorgeous.” She handed Kaylee a small, nicely-wrapped box.

“You got me a present? That’s so sweet.”

“Of course I did, silly. Now open it.”

She did, and found a silver locket on a silver chain. When she opened the locket, Kaylee recognized the image within. “It’s the Virgin of Guadalupe! We learned about her in Spanish class.” She gave Natalia a hug and a kiss.

“Thank you, I love it!” Kaylee said, and quickly got up to try it on in front of the mirror. The blonde American was still naked, of course, and Natalia feasted her eyes on the adolescent’s willowy body while Kaylee admired her new necklace.

At breakfast, Carmen presented her with a cupcake which held a single candle. “You will get a big cake this afternoon, but for now this can be your birthday cake. Feliz cumpleaños, little princess.”

By late morning, preparations for the quinceañera were well under way. Some men came and set up a huge tent between the house and the beach. There were deliveries from the florist and the bakery. There were catering vans. The camera crew arrived, this time with three cameras plus loads of equipment and lights.

None of that was surprising to Kaylee, given what Natalia and Carmen had told her about the quinceañera. “A girl becomes a woman when she turns fifteen. That’s the tradition here in Mexico. There’s a big party for her, almost like a wedding reception.”

There were still a few hours before the party began, so the girls decided to take a quick swim in the sea. The water was warm, the sun was hot, and they cavorted in the water just like any other teenaged girls.

On the way back to the house, though, they had to pass by the shelter where the fishermen loitered. One of the men started to comment as they were walking by and Kaylee recognized him as the old man who had used her mouth so roughly on the boat.

Natalia wheeled around and spoke sharply to him. He instantly stopped talking and the other men laughed.

When they were safely back at the house, Kaylee asked her what she’d said.

“I told him that if he says one more word about you, Señor Vásquez will cut off his balls and feed them to the fish.”

Kaylee hugged her friend and lover. They ascended the stairs hand in hand to begin getting ready for the quinceañera.

After the girls had showered, Carmen entered the bedroom with a large bundle under her arm. “Here’s your dress,” she said. “But first we have to do your hair and makeup.”

For previous videos, Carmen had used just a hint of eye shadow and mascara to highlight Kaylee’s blue eyes. This was different. They spent nearly an hour by the window as the older woman applied foundation, blush, eyeliner, mascara, and other stuff Kaylee couldn’t name.
