Sins 27

Someone knocked on her door. Max rolled over and muttered "go away" before she buried her head in her pillow. "Max its Reid open the door," hissed the teen. Max blinked her eyes open and turned over to look at her clock it said three forty five. Max was about to yell at him and tell him to go back to sleep when she remembered what they had agreed to last night.

She groaned and slid a foot out of bed. Glared at the door and then at her sleeping roommate. Then she took the lazy way out and used. The door opened smoothly and Reid was in her door way. He took one look at her still sitting on the bed and frowned at her. "Get ready Tyler's pulling the car around," said Reid.

Max groaned and stood up, sleep walked to her dresser and grabbed a pair of jeans. Pulled on a t-shirt and threw her swimsuit in her purse.

She followed Reid out of the room locking the door behind her. "That wasn't very smart she could have woken up," said Reid. Max glared at him and he didn't say anything else. Tyler was waiting for them downstairs in his truck. Reid grabbed the door and opened it. Max just grabbed the back door and hoped in. it was way to early for all that gentleman stuff. Reid saw her get in and shrugged, climbing in and shut the door.

"Tired?" said Reid "yeah couldn't sleep" said Max."Did you try what we talked about?" said Reid "try what?" said Tyler. "Yeah but I won't know if it worked until I get back" said Max "if what worked?" said Tyler "don't worry about it baby boy I've got it covered" said Reid. "Caleb and Pogue won't like you training her," said Tyler. "So?" said Reid. "He's not training me Tyler he's just showing me a few tricks" said Max "that's called training" said Tyler.

"Geez would you lighten up, learning is learning" said Max.

"They still won't like it," said Tyler. "So don't tell them," said Max. "Yeah they don't need to know," said Reid "man you guys are going to get me in so much trouble" said Tyler."Yeah but look at it this way at least we're the type of friends to be right by your side saying damn that was fun can we do it again?" said Max

"Yeah and Caleb and Pogue are the type to bail us out" said Reid. "You better not get me arrested Reid, Max" said Tyler. "Who said anything about arrested did you?' said Max. Reid grinned at her she was teasing baby boy again. "You said bail, that usually involves hand cuffs," said Tyler

"Oh honey I can think of a lot of things that involve handcuffs without having to get arrested" teased Max. Tyler was about to say something and turned bright red instead. He turned back towards the road and tried not to think about what she was implying. Reid burst out laughing at his response. "What's the matter baby boy too much for you?" teased Reid. "I ah" said Tyler and he shifted in his seat. Trying to discreetly adjust something. Reid glanced over at his friend and burst out laughing. Tyler turned a few shades redder than before and tried to ignore his problem.

"Looks like she did inspire some nice mental images there" said Reid. "Say what?" said Max and she leaned over the seat. Tyler stared at the road with a white knuckled grip on the wheel. "Oh dear, I guess I did" said Max "sorry" said Tyler. "Its ok, just glad your normal sweetie" said Max. She kissed the boy on the neck and he blanched.

Reid started laughing again. "Man your acting like a virgin," said Reid. "I am ah, ah shit," said Tyler.

Max burst into giggles in the back seat. "Its ok baby boy we get your meaning," said Max. Tyler pulled up to some huge gates and leaned over to punch in a code. The gates swung open and Tyler drove through. "Well here we are, welcome to my house, or at least the ancestral estate" said Tyler. Max looked at the huge gothic castle looking building. Her mouth dropped open that was a house.

She thought it was a museum. "Wow!" said Max "you think this is impressive you should see the other's house's this is small compared to Caleb's or even Pogue's" said Tyler "hey my house isn't small" said Reid "no but it definitely shows your moms gone with the wind fetish" said Tyler "your mother likes gone with the wind?' said Max "she used to until she left" said Reid 'oh baby I'm so sorry" said Max.

Tyler walked towards the door; he wanted to give them the privacy to talk. "Its ok, it happened when I was little," said Reid. "What about Tyler's mom?" said Max "she's a jet setter, only sends me cards and the occasional gift" said Tyler. He unlocked the door and walked in. "how come you guy don't live in your houses?" said Max "would you want to be alone in a place this huge?" said Tyler

"No not really" said Max "Caleb lives at home though and Pogue lives in their guest house" said Tyler "why the guest house?" said Max "smaller and more private I guess" said Reid. "But Caleb lives in the main house?' said Max. She really didn't know that much about her brother and wanted to find out more.

Reid chuckled at her inquisitiveness. "Yeah he takes care of his mom" said Tyler "why what's wrong with his mom" said Max "she's a bit of an alcoholic" said Reid. Max frowned so was her mom, she wondered why that was a coincidence? "What about Pogue's mom?" said Max. The two boys looked at each other and then back at her. Tyler wandered towards the doors to the poolroom.

"She died," said Reid. He said it softly and Max turned to look at him. "What did she die of?" said Max. Tyler was unlocking the pool doors and turned back to her "some people say it was suicide, though no one really knows for sure" said Tyler. He looked sad and Max wanted to talk about something else. "Pogue doesn't talk about it," said Reid "and he tends to avoid everyone on mother's day" said Tyler

"So we would really appreciate it if you didn't tell him we told you" said Reid. "No problem wasn't planning to," said Max. Max was looking around the room as she said it and spotted a portrait on the wall that looked familiar. "Oh my gawd is that you?' said Max "oh yeah, that" said Tyler. He looked embarrassed by the picture. Max walked closer and looked at it closely. "Wow it looks so lifelike," said Max

"Thanks" said Tyler "its kind of a family tradition, everyone of the first born son's all the way back to the founding of the colony have their portrait somewhere here" said Tyler. He sounded somewhat proud of the fact "wow what a lot of dust catchers' said Reid. Tyler looked mortally offended. "Reid that's not right, the knick knacks are the dust catchers" said Max.

Max was grinning at the portrait of Tyler. "You look good in a suit," said Max. Tyler blushed "thanks, it was from one of my cousin's wedding" said Tyler "so how old are you, in the picture I mean" said Max "about thirteen" said Tyler "yeah you can tell by the crappy haircut" said Reid. "What's wrong with my haircut?" said Tyler. "Nothing he's just teasing you," said Max. Reid snorted "can you say mullet" said Reid Tyler looked like he wanted to throw something at Reid.

"So where's the pool?" said Max "oh in here" said Tyler. Max walked towards the doors he was standing next to "whoa that's huge, please say it has a shallow end" said Max.

Reid snorted "I don't do shallow" said Reid "unless you count former girlfriends" said Tyler "well until I can swim you do" said Max. she leaned down and touched the water, it was nice and warm. "So where can I change" said Max "oh the library is fine it's right over there" said Tyler.

"Cool be right back" said Max.

Reid and Tyler watched her disappear back into the house and then slipped their pants off to reveal their swim trunks. Reid climbed into the water and then so did Tyler. "Man its warm did you turn up the temp?" Said Reid "no but the pool guy might have" said Tyler.

Max walked into the library and closed the door. She couldn't see so well because the room was dark so she searched for a light.

Pogue and Caleb pulled up outside and walked up to the door. Tyler left it unlocked so they walked right in. Caleb headed strait for the pool. Pogue however was wearing motorcycle leathers so he said "I'll meet you in there I got to change first" said Pogue he walked towards the library.

Caleb walked into the pool area and stripped down to his swimwear. Then he jumped in the pool. He came back up and swam over to Reid and Tyler. "I thought you guys were bringing Max?" said Caleb "we did she's changing" said Tyler "where?" said Caleb "in the.." Reid started to say library when they heard her shriek. "Ah shit" said Tyler

He climbed out of the water followed by Caleb and Reid. The three boys ran into the living room foyer area in time to see a half naked Pogue come running out of the library. "What the fuck why didn't someone tell me she was in there?" said Pogue. The door to the library slammed shut behind him and Pogue stalked down the hall to the restroom.

Max slid off her shoes and dropped her pants. Then pulled her arms and head out of her shirt. She slid off her under wear and bra and was reaching for her bikini when she heard the door open.

She froze and turned her head towards the sound. It was Pogue and he was unzipping his motorcycle leathers. Both his shirt and jacket hit the floor before he reached for his pants. Max looked on in shock didn't he see her?

He dropped his pants and Max got a glimpse of bare Pogue backside before she cleared her throat. He froze and turned towards the sound. "Out!" said Max without turning around "ah Max, hi" he said embarrassed "Pogue out!" said Max. He just stood there staring at her backside. Which was as bare as his at he moment. "Wow nice ass" said Pogue.

That is where she lost it and used to shove him out of the room, slamming the door shut behind him. She heard him stalk down the hallway and close another door. "Max you ok in there?" said Caleb's voice "yeah I'm fine be right out " said Max. She quickly slid her bottoms on and the looped the top around her to fasten it. She tied it tightly and then slid it around so she could tie the necktie. After adjusting to make sure everything was contained where it was supposed to be she walked out of the room.

When she got in the poolroom all of the boys were in the pool. They heard her approach and turned towards her. Then they all froze in shock and just stared at her. Pogue was the first to recover. "Hey babe I'm sorry I didn't know you were in there," said Pogue. He swam to the edge of the pool and looked up at her. "Pogue stop staring at my sister like that, same goes for you two," said Caleb. Caleb swam over next to her and partially climbed out. "Hey where's the rest of your suit?" said Caleb

"This is it its called a bikini" said Max. "Do you have a cover up?" said Caleb "ah just my clothes and stop being such a prude brother dear" said Max. Caleb sighed, "fine get in the water" said Caleb. She looked down at him cause he was still on the ladder "gonna move so I can" said Max "just jump in" said Caleb "Caleb does the words can't swim a stroke have any meaning to you?" said Max. He climbed off the ladder "stay in the shallow end, we're going to do some laps" said Caleb.
