It was six o'clock on a Saturday night. As always, Larry remained
home babysitting his little sister while his parents went off to some party
or club. Luckily, Sandy posed no trouble. She was incredibly self
sufficient and he was only there as a precaution in case the house caught
on fire and because he had no where else to go. Larry sauntered away from
his resting place, perched in front of the tv in his room, making his way
slowly to the bathroom. Shutting and locking the door behind him, Larry
undressed and stepped into the shower. As he turned on the water, a smile
pierced his face at the feeling of warm water running down his back. He
followed the normal routine of shampoo and conditioner, when suddenly, he
felt a distinct sensation, once again, creeping up his spine. It was the
day with Kate. He couldn't get it out of his head. There was a distinct
sense of insecurity and discomfort. In her large, round eyes, Larry could
now see something that hadn't been there before: Pain. A deep kind of pain
that even she didn't realize was there. Smiling again, with the
satisfaction of knowing something so intimate that even the owner of these
feelings didn't realize them, Larry then felt another sensation creeping up
on him. This time, however, it was an image of Kate. She was dressed in
only two white scarves, strategically placed over her private areas. They
seemed to be held on by the wind which was blowing at her, ruffling the
scarves and letting her hair flow behind her majestically. He stepped into
the picture and the wind seemed to stop. Kate smiled at him as the two
scarves fell to her bare feet. He wandered towards her and slowly caressed
her naked body. She moaned in pleasure as he leaned into kiss her, ever so
gently. Hastily, Larry realized that he had now reached down and began
pleasuring himself as the water ran softly down his back. Pushing his way
back into his fantasy, he indulged himself until he'd finished and the
image of Kate slowly faded from view. Wondering what this meant, he turned
off the shower water and wandered slowly back to his room. In the hallway,
he saw his sister playing with her Barbie dolls and felt a pang of guilt
for what he'd done, with her sitting so close to the room. Yet this
feeling lasted only a moment, while he stepped into his room and locked the
door. A confused look still played across his face as he heard the sounds
of a JC Penny's commercial in on the tv in the backround. Why Kate? What
did it mean? He sat down on the edge of his bed and decided he would push
her out of his mind. It was better not to get your hopes up about these
things. It was better not to feel something so strongly for someone he
didn't really know. Someone who hated him. Someone who he'd never thought
of as beautiful before. Larry lied himself down on his bed and fell asleep
with the lights still on.
