Chapter 1

Gabrielle Briggs logged her profile and two photos of herself onto a new website called Only Hot Guys and Girls. After she finished with her personal questions, many she fudged with the truth, she logged off and forgot all about it for the time being. She went into her favorite room like Storiesonline.com and other like sites to see if there were any interesting stories to read. Her favorite author was Al Steiner and loved his story called Doing It Over.

Gabrielle Briggs was a pint sized girl with blonde hair, brown eyes, under five foot tall and weighed less than one hundred pounds. She never described herself as being pretty, beautiful, gorgeous, voluptuous, or any other of those depictions of herself. She adopted the line given to her from a girl friend while back in high school as being "So Darn Cute." And so darn cute she was. Just a few weeks shy of her 21st birthday. She spent one year at Northwestern University where her tiny petite size had many guys pining over her.

She liked men/boys but she had a big problem when it came to dating them. Her four older Neanderthal brothers interviewed these dates cowering them into never wanting to see her again. This frustrated and infuriated her. She often wore heels with a pointed toe in front. Garbrielle would return from her tragic dates then began kicking all four of them in their shins. It was her only means of getting even by causing them pain. She had done this to the four with impunity since early high school. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John would hop around in agony while she made her way to her room upstairs.

Sometimes she broke into tears from their intrusion into her personal life. It hurt her badly if she liked the boy who took her out on their one and only date with him, He never called her back or made weak excuses when they met in school as to why he thought why they shouldn't date any longer.

Gabrielle was hurt by these events. Matt, the oldest, was six foot-eight. Mark was six foot-seven, Luke was six foot-six, John was six foot- four. They called her "Runt" inside the house. Being under five foot, they made fun of her that she was the wrong kid given to their mother when she was brought home from the hospital at her birth.

She was once punched by a bully in the face when she was in the sixth grade. Her brothers hunted him down finding him playing a pickup softball game in the school yard. The big black kid who intimidated every child in the school ended up in the hospital as John held him from behind while the other three kicked and punched him almost into oblivion. When the boy recovered and returned to school three months later, he gave her a wide berth and never hit or called her names again. The boy suffered a crushed testicle from Matt's knee which required surgery to have it removed. His fellow punk friends sought out the Briggs boys but then they saw their size, they backed down. She never had any trouble with anyone else for the rest of her school years except for her brothers teasing her.

Margaret Briggs, Peg, was a very devout Baptist. In her youth, she backslid and married a nonbeliever. Jeff was a good provider, a loving husband, and even though he liked his beer; Peg reluctantly allowed him his two beers per night. If she didn't permit this, Jeff would stop off at a bar after work and have boilermakers to the point that someone would have to bring him home. Peg had to wait until the next morning to give him her lecture of becoming drunk and disorderly among his peers. Jeff was so nice but when he became overly inebriated, he woud fight any man at the drop of a hat.

So Mattew, Mark, Luke, and John were named for the gospels in the Bible. When her little girl came along, Peg named her after an aunt she was so fond of. She doted on the girl but not the boisterous boys. More often than not she used a belt on them frequently to keep them in line. She never hit Garbielle nor even had to. Gabrielle was the most obedient girl she ever knew. And Peg was proud that she was hers. To this day Gabrielle accompanied her mother to church on Sundays but never became as devout as her mother.

One thing about Peg, she was a sexual machine. She seduced her husband almost nightly. They went to bed before nine in the evening to have their 'fun' as Peg called it. Even though she was very religious, she was an overly sexed one. Only her husband had relations with her. Thus the five children.

After Gabrielle's one year of college where her grades were outstanding, she was approached by a headhunter who was looking for attractive women for a large pharmaceutical firm. It was a year ago when she went to the interview. She dressed in a new business suit she purchased from a petite boutique. She was a size zero. With the black suit at knee length, a white silk shell, and her high heels; she looked very pretty. The man hired her starting at sixty thousand a year, company car, gas, and all the benefits she would receive upon her first day of employment.

"I'm quitting school," Gabrielle informed her family at dinner that night.

"Why?" Peg asked. She was shocked to say the least. Gabrielle never gave up on anything she committed herself to.

"I got that job I told you about!" she filled her fork with veggies.

"What job?" John asked. He was still in school at Northern Illinois.

"NOYB," she told him in a snooty manner. Although she appreciated her brothers for being overy protective of her, she still verbally lashed out when given the chance.

"What are they giving you a year?" Matt asked. He was the oldest and a cop for the Chicago Police Department.

"More than you get legally. I can't add the bribes you take from the drivers you stop. What's the going price, twenty bucks?"

"You're the only one I'd squeeze for a bribe when I stop you." he replied.

"When you get out of the car, I'll wait until you are by my gas cap then I'll floor it and squeal my tires in your face," she stuck her nose in the air. "You can eat my dust and breathe in my exhaust fumes.
