... bedroom when you are in there too? Then I could just get ready, and not wait for the bathroom to become free.” “I don’t mind if you want to do the same,” I carefully added. “So, youdo want to see me naked,” my sister giggled. “It’s just an option, Ella, and nothing more,” I pointed out. “Clare, I have never thought about this. But I wouldn’t want to be naked in front of Dad or, even worse, our brothers… “ “Neither do I,” I hastily injected. “My best friend, Stacey, and I have no problem being naked together when we change to use their swimming pool. So, I guess if there was a lock on our bedroom door, just like there is on our parents' bedroom, I wouldn’t have to use the bathroom quite so much.” I smiled and nodded in silent agreement. ***** Later, with the family watching television, I sat by the telephone, waiting for the call from David and Sarah, his other girlfriend. It felt like I had been waiting for this moment all day. Tomorrow, they were both flying off to Crete.

It was something I was still trying to understand as I was not sure if I would have done the same if our positions had been reversed.

I knew if I had gone into details, it would have left them laughing all the way to Crete. “We getting a little more intimate,” I remarked. “Though, Karen wants to wait until she turns eighteen and is legally an adult to both come out as a lesbian and have full sex with me.” I wanted to be open with both David and Sarah, but I found myself checking what I said. Maybe it was out of habit, or perhaps I realised that some things about Karen should remain private and stay that way. Well, perhaps that was only true until Brenda started quizzing me. Then I knew everything would come out,every little detail. “Her eighteenth birthday was on October 6th, so only a month away.” “Is she going to have a party?” David asked. “She is pretty sure her Mum is organising something, but she is not certain yet. She will know if there is one next week,” I somewhat enthusiastically replied. “Maybe it would be better if she did not come out at her party,” David pointed out. “Yes, that’s what I said to her. I suggested that it would be better to talk to her parents first, before the party, and she is thinking about it. To be honest, I ...
