Chapter 91: It’s the Heart That Matters

“Are you guys still sure about all of this?” asked Sonika.

Jessie Harper, the Twins and the rest of the choir members all looked at their choirmaster and nodded in the affirmative. They all gave the woman big smiles and she responded with a big thumbs up to them all - especially to Jessie, Carrie and Troy.

Jessie Harper then proceeded out of the choir chamber and onto the church’s main platform just ahead of the other choir members as they took their places behind her. At this point of the programme Carrie and Troy Pearson were still standing with the others. It was only Jessie out front ready to start the morning’s worship with a song written by Jock Ramsden. That young man was really coming into something new and discovering a real hidden talent ever since the choir’s Music Retreat out at Camp Starkers. He had written quite a few numbers since then and all had been well received by those that heard them. Some of his work was even starting to be recognised by other church choirs in the local vicinity and some even a bit further beyond that.

As Jessie and the choir filed out on to the platform the congregation gave them a solid round of applause even before they had done anything. Jessie’s mother in particular was clapping just as hard as she could for her daughter and the others behind her. The woman had half expected Jessie to come out in the nude based on earlier discussions on the matter but not so. Glenda’s only daughter was still wearing her blue and white outfit of matching blouse, skirt and shoes and to Glenda she did look just so lovely and Glenda Unsworth was just so proud of her - as evidenced by the woman’s enthusiastic clapping.

As Jessie’s mother clapped she suddenly became aware of the fact that Carrie Pearson wasn’t naked as prescribed by her doctors. The young girl was wearing her own matching skirt, top and shoes and looked every bit as lovely as Jessie did. This confused Glenda Unsworth a bit but she comforted herself with the idea that there would be a good explanation and that Carrie’s health was not being jeopardised in some way.

The Reverend Bryce Unsworth was also watching and clapping heartily too and he too had also expected that maybe his new step-daughter might come out completely naked as promised at Wednesday night’s meeting - but again ... not so. There was also another thought sitting at the back of Bryce Unsworth’s mind and that was the question Jessie had put to him earlier that morning ... when would they have some of their own Family Sex? The man had already had some wonderful nights of wild passion with his new wife - Jessie’s mother - and the thought of extending that experience to include sex with that lovely young girl up there on the platform was a very pleasant thought indeed. And fortunately, in the much more sexually open society that they now lived in such activity was totally legal and even encouraged as a form of healthy family bonding - as long as it was all totally consensual! If any part of Family Sex was not consensual and somebody complained to the authorities then that is when the real trouble started. Anyway, Bryce didn’t get long to mull over the thought of having sex with Jessie Harper as she was about to start her first song and what a beautiful song it was.

Jock Ramsden had really done himself proud in writing this song, with his girlfriend helping to put it all to some amazing melodies. The song was all about the wonders of creation and how focusing on the good one sees about them is always better in the long run than looking at the bad things.
