Chapter 32

Jack's family rode in his new truck, Tom's in his. The teens sat in the front seat and the parents in the back. The drive to the country club took about a half an hour.

While they rode along in Jack's new truck, Kim sat so her brother could see under her skirt. He kept glancing between the mirror, to see if his parents knew what was going on, Kim and the road in front of him.

When the two boys pulled up to the door of the stately building, valets came out to the trucks. They opened the doors for the women and handed the boys tickets. Jack and Tom watched as the men drove their new trucks to the lot and pulled them into the parking spaces.

Don held the door and the two families walked into the large clubhouse, and followed him to the dining room. The host spoke to Don and led the group to a private room. The teens were surprised when they entered the room, seeing Lisa and her family sitting at a long table. Megan was also there, seated next to Lisa.

The group began to sing Happy Birthday to Jack as he and the rest of the two families made their way to the table. Mr. Phillips got up and shook Jack's hand and invited them all to sit down.

Jack sat next to Megan and Tom next to Lisa. The twins got up and made room for Kim and Sally. After everyone was seated, Don turned to his son and asked, "Well, are you surprised?"

"Very surprised," Jack said.

Jack stood up and said, "Thanks for coming everyone. Tom's birthday is tomorrow so this is his party too."

Everyone wished Tom a happy birthday. Mr. Phillips said, "Sally we understand you just had a birthday and Kim is going to have one next week. I guess this party is really for all of you."

Kim and Sally thanked him and went back to talking with their new friends.

Lisa said, "Dad, can we show them around before dinner? It will be too dark if we wait until we have eaten."

Bob told her to go ahead and give them the tour. He told them to be back in about an hour.

The eight teens got up and followed Lisa out of the room and through the clubhouse. She took them down stairs and showed them her dad's pro-shop and the room where the golfers hung around.

The group went out side and Lisa showed them the swimming pool and tennis courts. She led them into another building and showed them the locker rooms.

"You guys have got to see this," Lisa said.

She opened a door and they all stepped into a large sauna. The kids looked around at the redwood benches and the heater, filled with rocks, in the corner.

"Do they have one for the men and another for the women?" Sally asked.

"No," Brad said, "Everyone uses this one. Sometimes, after the club is closed, we get to use it all by ourselves."

Brad bumped into his brother and quietly said, "That's when it's the best."

Lisa heard her brother and gave him a dirty look. Sally noticed her strange stare, but let it go.

After looking over the facilities, Jack said, "You guys want to see Tom and my birthday presents?"

Megan said, "Sure Jack, I would love to see them. Where are they?"

Jack and Tom led the group out to the parking lot and over to the two new trucks. "Here they are," he said. "The pickup truck is mine, the Expedition is Tom's."

Brad and Paul walked over to the trucks and began to look them over. Sally, Kim and Lisa were a few steps behind the rest of the group.

"What was that all about in the sauna?" Sally asked Lisa. "You really looked mad at your brother."

"It's nothing really, sometimes we go into the sauna naked when we are alone."

"With your brothers?" Kim said.

"Well, with the whole family actually. We have only done it a few times."

"That's cool," said Sally. "It sounds like fun."

"It is, but please don't tell anyone."

"We won't," said Kim, concealing the fact that she and Sally have been nude with their families.

The girls caught up to the guys and Megan. Lisa looked over the trucks and told Tom and Jack how nice they were.

"We had better get back guys," Lisa said. "Our parents are going to be wondering where we are."

The teens headed back to the clubhouse. Lisa walked with Tom and talked about photography. He told her about the mistake he had made in his new darkroom and how he had ruined the three rolls of film.

"That happens Tom," Lisa said, "You just have to be more careful. Until you get use to developing film, you should do one roll at a time. That way if you make a mistake, you don't mess up all of your pictures."

"That's a good idea. Maybe next time I develop film, you can come over and help me."

Lisa nudged him and said quietly, "Yeah sure, you just want to get me in the dark don't you."

Tom smiled and his face turned red. He didn't answer her, he just walked along next to her until they got to the front doors of the clubhouse.

The teens went back to the private room and took their seats. Kim and Sally sat between Paul and Brad and talked about the club.

"Well guys. What do you think of the club?" Marc asked.

"It is really nice dad," Tom said. "It seems that there's a lot to do."

Jack and Megan sat and talked quietly to each other. She told him how much she liked his new truck and asked if he would take her for a ride sometime.

The waiter came over and took everyone's dinner orders. Soon, servers were placing salads in front of everyone and filling water glasses. As dinner progressed, the talk between the teens turned to school.

"It must be great to go to school at home," Kim said. "I would love to be able to wear my pajamas to school."

"It's not like that at all Kim," Paul said, "Our mom makes us get showered and dressed just like we were going to a regular school. We start at the same time every morning and take our breaks and lunch just like real school."

Paul's brother and sister nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Phillips said, "I don't make it easy on them, and three times a week they have to go to the public school for physical education. Brad takes music and Paul has a golf team he belongs to."

The girls started to talk about buying dresses for the dance and decided to go shopping together on Tuesday after school.

"What is the proper dress for the boys?" Marge asked Lisa.

"They can wear suits or tuxedos Mrs. Graham"

"What do you boys want to wear, suits or tuxes?" Marge asked them.

The boys talked among themselves and decided to let the girls choose.

Kim said, "I would love to see you guys in tuxedos. I think you all would look handsome."

"Me too," Sally said. "Will you guys wear tuxes for us?"

Jack turned to Megan. "What do most of the guys wear?"

"I have only been to one dance, but I guess it was about half and half. I remember that most of the jocks wore suits."

Jack said, "Then I vote for tuxes, I sure don't want to be part of that stuck-up group of spoiled brats."

The rest of the boys agreed and decided to go to the rental on Monday.

"You boys should wait until the girls pick their dresses before you order your bow ties, so they will match." Anne said. "I think you can get measured and then call them on Wednesday to tell them what color you need."

"Maybe we could go and look for our dresses on Monday," Lisa said. "That way the guys will have a little more time."

The girls agreed that they would go to the mall on Monday right after school. Jack told Paul and Brad that he and Tom would pick them up as soon as they went home and changed.

The group continued to chat, and finished their dinners. The waiter brought out a cake for the birthday and every one sang to the four teens. When they were done with their cake, the kids asked if they could go outside for a while. Their parents told them to wait for a few minutes.

Mr. Phillips went out and came back with packages for the four teens. They opened them and found CDs and sweaters from the country club. Paul gave Kim a card with a gift certificate to a music store in it. And Brad gave the same thing to Sally. Lisa handed Jack a package and card. After reading the card, he opened the package and found a book on Great Lakes fishing. Tom got a book on darkroom techniques from Lisa.

The four kids thanked everyone and they all left their parents to finish their coffee.

Outside, they split into groups. Paul, Brad, Kim and Sally walked over to the practice green. Lisa and Tom sat on a bench, and Jack and Megan walked away from them.

Lisa and Tom talked about his darkroom and taking pictures. Tom told her that his sister had bought studio lighting for him and he told her about all of the units. They decided to get together during the week, take some pictures and develop the film.

Jack and Megan walked around the manicured grounds of the club. As they walked, she turned to him.

"Jack," Megan said, "Did Kim talk to you?"

"Yes she did Megan."

"I really like you Jack. You are so nice to me. You and your family haven't judged me by what the other kids at school say and that means a lot to me. All of this is going to take a little getting use to. I am still afraid because of what happened, but Kim has really helped me to work it out. I know that all guys aren't like the guy that raped me, but I am still a little uneasy. I hope you understand."

"I understand Megan, you don't have to worry about me or anyone else in my family. You just be yourself and we will take things as they come. As for the kids at school, if anyone messes with you anymore, they are going to have to answer to Tom and I. I assure you they won't like it."

Jack and Megan sat on a bench. Megan slid over next to Jack and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Thanks Jack, you are so sweet."

Jack put his arm around her shoulders and gave her a quick hug. He removed his arm and put it on the back of the bench, being careful not to touch her. Megan leaned into him and reached for his hand. She pulled his arm back on her shoulders, and held his hand.

The two sat quietly for a few minutes until they heard Jack's dad call for them. They got up and went back to the clubhouse and gathered with the rest of the group.

After saying goodbye to each other, the families had the valet bring their cars and they all went home.

Once they were home, Marge told Jack and Kim they should go and get ready for bed. The two kids went up to their rooms to change.

Kim took off her sweater and skirt then put them away. She turned on her new television and flipped through the channels, selecting the music station. She went to her dresser and was deciding what to wear to bed when she heard a knock on the door. Dressed in her bra and panties, she opened it.

"I'm sorry," Jack said. "I'll come back when you are done getting dressed." He started to back out of the room.

"It's ok, come in. I was just messing with my birthday present. Isn't this the greatest?"

"Yes, it's very nice. I talked with Megan tonight about what you told me. I think everything is cool."

"That's great Jack. I really like Megan and I'm glad you are so nice to her."

Kim took off her bra and pulled a nightgown from her drawer. Jack watched as she pulled the gown over her head and let it fall down over her panties.

"So, where did you and Sally go with Paul and Brad after dinner?

"We just walked around by the golf course and talked. They are really shy, I don't think either one has ever been with a girl."

"Really? How do you know?"

Kim giggled and said, "They don't know how to kiss."

"You kissed him?"

"Yes, Sally and I just wanted to thank them for the gifts. It wasn't like we kiss, more like kissing mom or dad. They got all embarrassed and their faces turned red."

Jack went over to his sister, wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. They held the kiss for a long time, pushing their tongues into each other's mouths. Jack ran his hand up and down her back, squeezing her butt when he rested his hand on it. Kim moaned into his mouth and put her hands on his ass, pulling him tight to her. She massaged him through his boxers and felt his penis begin to press against her tummy. Slowly, they parted and Jack took a step back.

"You mean he didn't kiss you like that?'

Kim was panting, "No Jack nothing like that."

She stepped away from him and tried to regain her composure. She looked into his eyes and smiled.

"I'm going down to tell mom and dad good night," she said. "Are you coming?"

"Almost," he chuckled.

The two went downstairs and into the family room. Their parents were sitting next to one another on the couch talking.

"We just came down to say goodnight and thank you for the great birthday," Jack said.

"Yeah, thanks a lot. Everything was wonderful."

"You two are welcome," their dad said. "Sit down for a minute, your mom and I want to talk to you two."

Jack and Kim sat on the other couch and waited for their parents to speak. Don put his hand on Marge's leg and rubbed it softly.

"I don't really know how to bring this up, but I am going to give it my best shot," Don said. "Your mother and I know you two have been messing around and that it has progressed into full blown sex. We aren't mad at you guys for it, but we have been talking and we feel that there needs to be a clear understanding."

Don looked to his wife for support.

Marge said, "If you two want to make love, or have sex, that is up to you. You both have met someone now and we are worried that you two might get jealous if the other one has a relationship. I know it may be hard for you guys to understand now, but it is possible to be in love and to make love with more than one person. You know that I have sex with my brother and your dad with his sister. Because we married brothers and sisters, it makes it easy for us. You two, on the other hand, won't have that luxury. When you guys have boyfriends or girlfriends, you will have to keep your relationship secret, if you choose to have one."

Marge stopped and took a drink from a can of soda she had sitting on the table next to her. Kim and Jack sat quietly, trying to digest what their parents were saying.

"The point is," Don said. "You guys have to not only be very discreet, but you also have to be understanding of each other. It would kill your mother and I if anything ever came between you two. You guys are all we have and all that you have. This is our family and we don't want anything to break it up."

"Do either of you have any questions?" Marge asked.

The teens sat and thought for a moment. Kim said, "Mom, does Aunt Anne and Uncle Marc know about Tom and Sally?"

"Yes they do Kim," she said. "They are having this same talk with them tonight."

"I guess I'm going to go to bed now," Kim said. "I think we need time to think about all this."

Jack nodded and the two got up and went to their parents. Marge and Don stood up and the four of them hugged each other. The kids told them goodnight and turned to leave.

"There is one other thing," Marge said.

Kim and Jack stopped and turned around.

"Your father and I know how it is to be in love when you are a teenager. We will respect your privacy. If your door or doors are closed, we won't come in unless we are invited. Do you two understand what we mean?"

Kim and Jack thought for a moment and Kim said, "Yes, I understand."

Jack nodded and they turned and went upstairs. Kim went into her room and Jack followed.

"What did mom mean about the doors?"

Kim smiled at her big brother and said, "She means that if we want to sleep together, she won't come into our rooms and try to catch us."

Kim turned off the television and put one of her new CDs into the player. She turned it on and turned down her bed.

"Really," Jack said. "That's great, I love sleeping with you."

Kim climbed into bed and giggled. "You do, do you."

"Yes, last night was the greatest, and waking up with you next to me was wonderful."

Kim pulled back her covers and said, "Well get in here then."

Jack closed her door and climbed into bed next to her. He faced her and kissed her gently on the lips. Kim put her arm around him and pulled him close. He rolled onto his side, with his back to her. She spooned up to him and draped her arm over his waist.

"Goodnight Jack, I love you."

"Goodnight, I love you too."

The two teens fell asleep, snuggled together.

Kim woke up in the morning and looked for Jack in her bed. She saw that he wasn't there and got up to find him. She looked in her bathroom and then went across the hall to his room.

Jack was sitting at his desk, reading the manual for his new camcorder. He had the unit on the desk in front of him and would pick it up and push a couple of buttons and return to the book.

"Good morning Jack."

Jack turned around in his chair and said, "Good morning, how are you?"

"I'm fine, when did you get up?"

"I woke up about an hour and a half ago. I watched you sleep for a while, but I didn't want to wake you so I came in here to learn about my new camcorder. You are really cute when you sleep, I never noticed before."

Kim walked over and stood next to him and watched as he examined his camcorder and its manual. She put her arms around his neck and held him to her chest. "I thought you were mad at me when you weren't in bed."

Jack reached up and stroked her arm. "Why would I be mad at you?"

"I don't know, I guess I'm just being silly." She bent over and kissed him on the top of his head. "I'm going to go and get ready for school."

"So am I," he said. He put the manual down, stood up and turned around. He put his arms around her and hugged her to him. When she looked up, he kissed her.

Kim hugged him and then pulled away. She smiled at him and said, "I better get going." She walked towards the door and left his room. She went back into her room and removed her nightgown. She was pulling her clean underwear out of her drawer when she heard her mom behind her.

"Good morning Kim."

Kim turned around, dressed only in her panties, and said, "Morning mom."

Marge walked into her room through her open door. She glanced across the hall and noticed that Jack's door was also open. She sat on Kim's bed and watched her daughter lay out her white bra and panties.

"Do you need something mom?

"No honey, I just wanted to stop by and see you. Don't you close your door anymore?"

"Sometimes, I really don't think about it too much anymore. It's kind of nice now, not being so self conscious about being in my underwear."

Marge smiled and watched as Kim went into the bathroom and turned on the shower. She watched her pull off her panties and step into the shower, before leaving and going downstairs to start breakfast.

Kim finished her shower, fixed her hair and got dressed for school. She went down to the kitchen and sat at the counter with Jack.

"How can you get ready so fast?" She asked her brother.

"I don't spend as much time in front of the mirror as you do."

The two teens ate their breakfast, told their mom goodbye and left for school. Kim got into Jack's truck and fastened her seatbelt. Jack climbed in, started the truck and backed it out of the garage. Jack pulled out onto the main road, right behind Tom and Sally. He followed them to school and the boys parked their new trucks well away from the other cars in the lot.

The four teens got out of the trucks and Kim went over to Tom and kissed him. "Happy birthday cousin."

"Thanks Kim."

"Yeah," Jack said, "Happy birthday."

The four began to walk towards the building, chatting.

"Kim and Sally lagged behind their brothers a little and talked."

"Did your mom and dad have a talk with you two last night?" Kim asked. "Ours did."

"Yes they did. I thought I was going to explode when they said that they knew that Tom and I had sex. Then when they said it was ok, I almost fainted."

"What did they say about sleeping with Tom, in the same bed I mean?"

"They said it was up to us. What did your parents say?"

"The same thing, they even knew that your mom and dad were going to talk to you last night."

The two girls continued to talk about what their parents had said, and what it all meant. They could see that their brothers were talking about the same thing.

"So," Kim said. "Did you two sleep together last night?"

"Yup, but we just slept. It was nice."

"Us too."

They heard their names being called from across the parking lot. They looked and saw Megan making her way over to them. When Jack and Tom heard her they stopped and waited for her and their sisters to catch up. The five teens began talking about the party at the country club and walked to the building.

Megan walked close to Jack, matching his pace. The kids that were gathered outside the doors watched as she approached with Jack at her side. When Jack saw them staring at her, he switched his books and slipped his arm around her waist. At the doors, he removed his arm, opened the door for her and put his hand on her back as she walked through it. He also held the door for Sally and Kim.

Kim smiled at her brother as she walked past him and said, "You're the greatest guy in the world Jack."

Inside the building they stood together for a moment.

Megan turned to Tom, kissed his cheek and said, "Happy birthday Tom."

"Thanks Megan."

Megan said, "Kim and Sally, I will see you guys at lunch, ok."

"Cool," Sally said. "See you at lunch."

The teens went to their first hour class.

The girls met at lunch, went through the line and sat at their usual table. They talked about going shopping after school and which stores they wanted to go to. All around them they could hear the other kids whispering about Megan.

Kim said softly, "These kids are all assholes. Why do they have to be like that?"

Megan said, "Don't worry about it, I've gotten use to them talking about me behind my back. You know, you two are the luckiest girls in the world. You have the greatest brothers and parents anyone could have."

Kim and Sally both blushed. "I think so," Kim said.

"Me too. They can be so sweet, when they want to." Sally said.

Tom and Jack stopped by the girls' table. Jack sat down between Kim and Megan and Tom sat next to Sally. "What are you guys up to?" Tom asked.

"Just girl talk." Sally replied.

"I was just saying how great all you guys are," Megan said. "I have never felt so happy. You guys are the best."

Jack pressed his leg against his sister's and rubbed her slowly. He smiled and said, "I think our sister's are great too Megan."

The four teens were a little embarrassed by what Megan was saying. They fidgeted in their seats and finally, Kim said, "We had better get to class." She pressed her leg back against her brother's, stood up and they all left the lunchroom.

After school, they all met in the parking lot. Jack and Kim walked with Megan to her car and waited for her to get in. She rolled down her window and told Kim that she would pick her up in about an hour. They all said goodbye and Kim and Jack went to his truck.

On the ride home Kim sat quietly, lost in her thoughts. She replayed what Megan had said at lunch and what her parents said the night before. She watched her big brother as he drove, thinking how lucky she really was. She also thought about Jack and Megan and how she was going to handle their relationship, should one develop. She really liked Megan, but was in love with her brother.
