Chapter 40

We spent the next two hours of our journey with Brenda and Emily covertly competing for my attention. Mama and Mrs. Connor were both drinking. They drank a whole bottle of champagne together, and then another bottle of some white wine they both seemed very happy with. After an hour, you could tell they had been drinking quite a bit.

I had already given Brenda a little make up kiss, and then I had to give Emily one as well. It was after this that the whispering began. Brenda was the first to beckon Emily closer, until she was leaning across my lap before Brenda started whispering in her ear. After, they were both laughing, and Emily told her no. Before too much more time had passed, Emily signaled Brenda to come closer, then she whispered into Brenda's ear. Brenda then whispered something to Emily, which got them all laughing again. I offered to switch places with them so they could whisper together easier, but Brenda told me they both liked it fine the way it was. I already was pretty sure that Brenda's arm brushing across my lap hadn't been accidental. When Emily did the same thing a few minutes later, I was certain that both were deliberate.

As soon as Brenda leaned across me the next time, I raised my arm and touched her breast. In the position she was in, neither of our parents could see what I was doing. Emily saw it though, and she started laughing. After they resumed their places again, Emily told Brenda that it was Brenda's turn to ask her to lean in for a whisper.

"I don't think so, Emily. Didn't you have your turn Friday night?" For just a second, I had visions of my carefully orchestrated alliance splintering apart. Emily stepped in to save it though.

"We didn't do any of that, Brenda. We just did the stuff I told you about." Surprisingly, to me at least, Brenda beckoned Emily to her, and before too much longer, I had another small breast in my hand. This time, Brenda did a lot of whispering in Emily's ear. I was able to hear part of it, and Brenda was talking about whether or not her mom and mine would pass out before we got to the city. When Emily put her weight down on my lap, then moved back until it rested more on my knees, Brenda reached in and gave my dick a friendly little squeeze. Emily watched as she did it, and both of them erupted with laughter. I'm sure that I was blushing, and I know my face sure felt warm. Later, Emily did the same thing, while Brenda used her body as a shield. We kept this up almost constantly, until Hans pulled up in front of the restaurant where Mama had made reservations.

The restaurant was pretty dark when we went in there, but there were a lot of people already eating. I liked good light when I ate, so I could see my food clearly. I didn't want to eat dead flies or other bugs by accident. Nobody else complained though, so I kept quiet about it too. Mama and Mrs. Connor had a drink before dinner, and then two more glasses of wine with their meal. Mama only ordered a salad, and Mrs. Connor ordered some soup, but she didn't eat much from it. The adults might not have been hungry, but the three of us more than made up for their lack of appetite. I had the Spencer steak with a salad and baked potato. Emily ordered shrimp scampi, and Brenda wanted to try some dish that had crab and lobster in it, served inside a loaf of bread. I don't think it turned out to be what she thought she was ordering. All three of us took bites off of each others plates. I managed to put my hand on Brenda's lap when I bent over to let her give me some of her bread dipped in the liquid on her plate. It tasted very good, whatever it was, and I tickled Brenda's pussy for about three or four seconds too.

When we got to Klatsky's, there was no place close by for Hans to park, and the gallery was jam packed with people. Mama asked everybody if they'd mind our not going inside, telling us she would feel uncomfortable having to wade through such a crowded area. No one objected, so Mama got on the intercom, and told Hans to take us to this big shopping mall. When we got there, we all went inside, with Mama telling Hans to come pick us up at the entrance where we were, at six o'clock, which was only two hours away. I could see that Brenda and Emily were disappointed that we would have such a short time to look around, but I told them I had to be back at school before nine o'clock. Mama opened her purse and gave me four fifty dollar bills.

"Kenny please take the girls shopping and buy each of them something nice to wear. Georgia and I will be in that restaurant, relaxing while you enjoy the shops. Come find us before six, so that we'll all be ready to leave here together." She was pointing at this restaurant on our right, just inside the entrance doors. I took the money, and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Brenda, Emily and I headed off to explore the mall. I took a back seat to the girls when it came to shopping. There must have been at least sixty, or maybe even seventy, stores in the mall. A lot of them sold women's clothes.

"How much did she give you, Kenny?" I was beginning to become adjusted to the realization that Brenda wasn't going to change anytime soon.

"Two hundred dollars."

"What are you going to buy us? Do we each get a hundred to spend?" I could see the excitement in Brenda's eyes. It wouldn't have surprised me if she had tried to talk me into spending all of the money on her. I had almost one hundred fifty dollars on me, besides the money my mother had given me, but I didn't mention that to Brenda. Emily had her arms wrapped around my left arm, but it was at least five minutes before Brenda noticed it. "Emily, what do you think you're doing? Remember what we said?" Emily dropped her hold on my arm.

"What did you say, Brenda? If you girls have an agreement, I want to know about it. I don't want you two agreeing to stuff that concerns me without telling me about it."

"We agreed that Brenda is your number one girlfriend, and she gets to be first when it comes to us doing new things."

"Well, go ahead and hold my arm then, because Brenda's already done that. Right, Brenda?"

"That isn't what we agreed to, Emily. I'm his girlfriend, and you're his friend. You can do things with him, but only after I tell you it's okay. That's what we agreed to."

"Brenda, I didn't agree you and Emily could make decisions about me. I don't like you thinking it's all right for you to do this with Emily. You're my friend, and she's my friend. Neither one of you is a more important friend to me than the other one. I thought I made that very clear back in the car? If you don't want to do something, you don't have to, but I don't want you telling Emily what she can or can't do. Emily, the same goes for you. I don't want you making agreements with Brenda about how you're going to treat me. Part of the reason that Brenda and I quit being friends was that she didn't pay attention to what I told her I didn't want. So far, you and I don't have that problem. I hope that continues to be the case."

"Kenny, I never agreed that it was going to be like you just said. If that's what you think, then you're wrong. I thought you wanted to be my boyfriend again." Brenda seemed genuinely upset. I don't know how I could have possibly made it any clearer for her. She just didn't listen to what I said.

"My mistake then. I'm sorry, Brenda. Do you want to continue shopping with us, or do you want to go off to be by yourself?" I watched as her very beautiful, and expressive, face ran through the full range of her angry expressions. She finally settled on something halfway between hurt and angry, before moving forward and taking my right arm. I held out my left one for Emily, and soon, the three of us started back to walking along the big corridor in front of all the stores. We were just window shopping until we got to a store for young women that was going out of business.

They had signs in all the windows announcing that fact, with a smaller sign saying that everything inside was sixty per cent off retail price. We were looking at this when a lady got in the window and crossed off the sixty per cent and wrote in eighty per cent. With a series of excited squeals, Emily and Brenda fled from my side, hastily running through the open store door together. It was after five thirty before I handed the sales clerk the four fifty dollar bills and received thirty one dollars in change. Each girl had two large plastic shopping bags filled with their new clothes. I wondered why they were both so excited, until they both reminded me that the combined retail on their purchases would have been almost nine hundred dollars. The way they said this to me, you would have thought they were trying to explain light switches to a moron.

I was allowed to carry one bag from each of them, as we crossed over to the other side to look at the stores as we headed back to the entrance. We got to the restaurant at about five til six, and both Mama and Mrs. Connor had obviously spent their two hours in there drinking. Mrs. Connor was worse off than Mama was, but not by much. They were both too far gone to be able to follow along as the girls expressed their excitement over the shopping that they had just experienced. I helped Mama, and Brenda and Emily each took a side to help Brenda's mom. Hans had to get out of the limo with Gerta, and they both helped Mama and Mrs. Connor get settled in the back. Gerta looked worried, but Hans acted like he thought it was pretty funny.

Soon, we were on our way back to my school. Within five minutes of Hans leaving the mall, Mrs. Connor was asleep, and snoring softly. It took Mama longer, but she was asleep ten minutes after. The three of us were being quiet, but we played around a lot more after both adults were asleep. We were doing a lot of kissing, and Brenda let me play with her kitty too, but only for a few minutes, because we were both nervous that our mothers would wake up. Emily didn't let me touch her pussy, but she did rub my crotch for me, while we kissed, and she let me rub her breasts for her.

When we got to my school, I got out, and so did Emily and Brenda. There were four or five other students outside watching as the three of us got out of the limo. When Brenda and I had a final kiss, we got some catcalls and a few people yelled out rude comments. As soon as I was done with Brenda, I took Emily in my arms, and kissed her just as passionately. This time there was silence from the other students, until after we came up for air. "You're one lucky bastard, Kenny!" I looked over, and Terry was shaking his head in amusement. I thought I detected some envy from him also. The girls got back in the limo, and I waved at Hans and Gerta as they pulled away. It had been a great weekend, and I was pretty happy with the way all of it had turned out.

I quickly settled into a nice routine. Each night, I would call home and speak with Gerta and my mother, and after, I'd call either Brenda or Emily. I switched off calling first one, and then the other, but they would call each other, right after, to tell each other what I had talked about. Brenda was trying to get me to invite her over to my house for Friday night dinner, and then up to my room later, so that she could spend time with me on my bed, just like Emily had.

On Wednesday, my dad came home. He spoke with me on the telephone on Thursday, telling me that negotiations had broken down with Consolidated, and he had decided not to resign, but to leave New York, and return to running his division from Bolling. When I asked him if the repurchase was not going to happen for sure, he was vague about it, saying that anything was possible. Dad sounded all right about things, but Mama wasn't happy at all. When I saw Uncle Bunny on Saturday, he looked like his best friend had died. That's when I started believing what he said about money being important to him and Mama.

I tried explaining to Brenda that it wasn't a good time for her to be asking to come to dinner, but she kept after me to ask my mother if she could come. Finally, I just explained to her that everyone at the house was involved in a big business deal for millions of dollars, and they didn't feel like entertaining anyone. Surprisingly, Brenda said that she understood, and would wait for a better time. At least she was consistent in her love of and appreciation for money. I wondered if her church wasn't really a bank.

I did ask Hans to stop at Emily's on Friday, when he was on his way to pick me up, to give Emily and Brenda a ride out to the Academy. This time, there were thirty or forty boys outside, waiting in the cold, for the limo to show up. There were boys from 'search' and 'spicamore', in addition to almost my whole floor at 'joke hall'. Both girls stepped out, dressed identically, thanks to the closeout at that mall store, and they put on quite a display in greeting me. I introduced the girls to all of the students whose names I knew, and a couple of the other guys, the ones whose names I was unsure of, came up to Brenda and Emily and introduced themselves.

It was Brenda who first came up with the idea of bringing some of her friends over to Holton, so they could meet some of the Academy guys. There wasn't much going on in Holton, but most of the students could get day passes to go into town, if they weren't under some other restriction. Brenda said she knew at least five other girls that would probably like to meet them. If I had known she was going to suggest it, I'd have told her not to. As it was, I was as surprised as the other guys. The main difference was that I was the only one that thought it wasn't that good of an idea.

On the ride back home, I let Brenda know of my misgivings. I would have chastised her if she and Emily hadn't raised the hems on their identical skirts to show me that neither had any panties on. They wanted me to take turns licking their pussies. Each got comfortable on the two facing seats after I dropped down on the floor. I was glad that I had a clean school uniform at home that I'd be able to change into before heading back to the Academy on Sunday night. There was something added to the pleasure of doing cunnilingus, when there are two different pussies involved for you to lick. I didn't tell Hans to take his time, but he did, and I was glad for it too. With Brenda, I used my fingers and my tongue, but Emily wouldn't let me use my fingers on her, just my tongue. I think that Brenda probably had more cums, but Emily was definitely the loudest when she came. When we got done, I checked the ashtray and was happy to find some rubbers had been put in there. I'd forgotten to ask Hans to do it.

I was going to play with myself, that's what I was planning on, but Brenda told me that she wanted me to put it in her. I was tempted. In fact, if Emily hadn't been there, I probably would have. I saw how she reacted when Brenda told me to do it in her, and I told Brenda that there wasn't enough time. Both of them watched me as I stroked myself to a good cum. Emily just watched me, but Brenda had a finger in her kitty, and was pushing it in and out at the same speed I was doing mine. Brenda watched as I came, but she wasn't able to cum again herself. She looked disappointed that I had turned her down. Hans pulled into Emily's driveway and dropped off both girls. I went up front to ride with Hans, but he handed me his hankie and told me to wipe my face off first. Did he think I was going to try to kiss him? I wiped my face anyway though. When we got home, Hans took me around the back way, so that I could wash my face with the water from the sink in the garage. It wasn't heated, but it was better than me walking into the house smelling, like Emily and Brenda's pussies.

The way it turned out, it wouldn't have mattered. When I did go in the house, Mama, Uncle Bunny, and dad were in his study going over a counter proposal that Consolidated had faxed over to dad at his office. I went upstairs to change and wash my face and hands with soap and hot water. I flushed the used rubber down the toilet too. I had tied a knot in it, but I didn't want to carry it around in my pocket, forever, either. When I went back downstairs and knocked on the study door, I interrupted a three way argument they were having about what they should do about the Consolidated counter offer. Uncle Bunny wanted to accept it. He said even at one hundred twenty million dollars, it was still a significant bargain. Mama wanted to wait, doing nothing, to find out if Consolidated would get nervous, and drop their countering price. Dad said he thought they should offer one hundred five million, but no more than that, and make their offer good for one week only.

Usually, when I came home, everyone was happy to see me. This time, they were too excited, and too busy, to make any fuss over my return. It was three quick hellos, and then right back to business. I left and went in to see Gerta. She was happy to see me, and she showed me the ham she was baking, and the sweet potato pie that was baking underneath it. She let me have some homemade sugar cookies and a glass of milk, to keep me until dinner was served. She told me that my parents and Uncle Bunny had been in the study ever since my dad came home at noon. When I had kissed her, Gerta had stiffened, but she didn't say anything to me. She waited until I finished the milk and cookies, and then told me I should run upstairs and take a nice shower before dinner.

"Kenny, make sure to shampoo your hair too. It smells funny." I was embarrassed, but I didn't know what to say to apologize to Gerta. I'd never gotten into a situation like this one before. "Don't worry about it, Kenny. I'm not upset with you. I just don't want you getting into trouble for it. I used to have to tell Bunny the same thing, three or four nights a week, when he was in high school, and dating Brenda's mother." Gerta put her hand over her mouth, and started laughing into it, and her face got all red. I guessed that she had just realized what she'd told me.

The conversation at dinner was more of the same. Each of them was staying with their opinion of what they should do to make the deal work. I felt like Mama was probably right, but nobody asked me what I thought. When it became obvious that none of them were going to budge, I volunteered my opinion.

"I think Mama's probably right, just wait to see what they do. Didn't all of you agree they couldn't get another buyer if dad were to quit them? That's what he should do then, just quit. If they were ever going to sell at that price, they'll do it right after dad says he quits. If not, the price they tell you will probably be their best price, then you can figure out if it's good enough, or if it isn't. That's what I'd do."

"See, even a fifteen year old understands what we should do." Mama was pleased that I agreed with her.

"If we do it your way Bertie, we might end up not getting anything at all. I don't like the idea of us losing control of the company. At least now, I have some say in how things get done. I can try to protect the workers. None of us really believed we'd end up getting the division for ninety million dollars. Not really." Dad was trying to convince Mama by scaring her about losing control of the company.

"I believed it, Thomas. I still believe it. Bunny was right you know. A lot of the value in that division is the top management that controls it. It just happens that we control that top management."

"I agree with you, Bertie, Tommy is the key, but because we're aware of it, it doesn't mean that the Consolidated board realizes it." Uncle Bunny was still hoping to get them to meet Consolidated's terms. To him, their asking price was still a great deal. He, more than the others, was being practical in his arguments. His fear was that dad's quitting would turn the board away from any idea of selling the division.
