This is a work of fiction. The characters exist solely in my head. And, well, here too.

If you haven't read the other stories about Paulina's adventures, please do so, as they will offer some background and context. The collection can be found here:

I suggest reading "Paulina -- An Introduction" first of course. More stories will be added as they are ready.

This is part 3E of the multi-part story "Paulina Rescues Mary," which takes place Thursday evening through Sunday evening. This story takes place about four weeks or so after Paulina gave her virginity to Bernard and two weeks after her train trip to the country to visit Big Jim and Mary Sue.

Please read the prelude "Paulina and Mary's Pain" first, as it will provide some context and background for the entire story.

This part covers Saturday evening at Paulina's house.

Saturday Evening

Our front door was open as usual when we arrived at my house. I recognized some of the cars parked in front and on the side. Pervert's white Charger, Shawn's brown van, Mike B's silver van, and Rick's Datsun. I didn't expect to see it, but I was disappointed that Bernard's Thunderbird was not there. I missed him and thought he would be home from South America by then.

"Hi y'all" I said with a smile as we went inside. Mary smiled and gave a little wave.

"Hey P! Hi, Mary!"

"Hi girls."

"Hey you two!"

Everyone greeted us.

The usual group of friends were there, along with some other people. As expected for a Saturday, even though it was late afternoon, the partying was slowly starting. The drinks and the pot were already being enjoyed.

My dad was sitting across the room, so I walked us over to him.

"Mary's going to stay with me tonight again, if that's alright." I said sweetly.

"Sure, no problem. Good to see you again, Mary. Help yourself to whatever. You know where everything is."

"Thanks" she replied sweetly, imitating me with a giggle.

"Thanks Hank. You're the best!" I leaned over and gave him a hug. "Come on, Mary. Let's get a drink and go put your stuff down." I led her into the kitchen.

"Stand right there" I pointed to the corner of the kitchen. She would mostly block anyone from seeing me pour vodka into our glasses, which I topped off with 7-Up and some lime wedges from the fridge.

She looked a little wide eyed at first but then gave me a sly grin as she stood as my lookout.

.

Drinks in hand, we went to my room. When we got in, I saw something I was hoping to see. My answering machine had a message on it.

I was about to ask her to leave while I checked it but figured that if it was news from Big Jim, then decided she should hear it. It was.

"BEEP -- Message one: Hey there, darlin.' Ah gots sumthin' fer ya. Ah overheard Sheriff Jesse talkin' at the fillin' station. He said he wuz talkin' to a state trooper who said he wuz jus' workin' a veehicle fire an' wreck on'na highway over the swamp. Said the driver walked away but his van wuz burned to a crisp. So yer frien's...pro'lem ain' gonna be a'gettin' `roun so easy now. Not fer a long time, anyways. Gimmie a ring back an' ah'll tell ya more'a whut ah found out. Oh -- mah lil princiss Tammy says t' git yer lil peach up here soon! Hawhaw! Call me later, ya hear? -- BEEP."

"BEEP -- Message two:" I wasn't expecting a second call. "Hello, Paulina. How's my Little Girl doing?" It was Bernard's smooth, almost sultry voice. I immediately broke into a cheesy, crushy smile. "I'm back from South America, but unfortunately I had to continue on to Dallas when I arrived. I'll be here for a few days, maybe a week. I was hoping to make it over to your parent's house this weekend, but duty calls. You know I have to work hard to afford to get my beautiful Little Girl beautiful, exquisite presents" he chuckled. "I'll call you when I'm back home. Hopefully you can come over and join me for dinner and some...relaxation again. I've missed you, my dear, and look forward to seeing you soon. Have a wonderful night. -- BEEP. End of messages."

I stood there quiet for a moment, gently running my fingers over my bracelet, almost overwhelmed by hearing Bernard's voice again. I knew he would be back soon, but it felt good to hear it. It really felt good to hear that he missed me and wanted to see me soon. It felt better than I expected.

.

Mary sat on the bed and listened to Big Jim's message with a cool look of satisfaction on her face as she heard what happened to his van. Part of her was slightly disappointed that he was able to walk away from the accident, but she knew that there was more in store for him.

Her expression turned to curiosity as she watched me look like I stepped into dreamland as I listened to Bernard's voice. It was masculine but not deep. It had a sophisticated but kind sound to it. It sounded like it belonged to a handsome, distinguished gentleman.

"Paulina? Earth to Paulina! Are you back with us?" she tried not to giggle.

"What? Oh, yeah. Sorry. I just wasn't expecting to hear from him so soon. I'm...happy that he called and let me know he's back safe."

"And that he wants to see you?" she asked mischievously.

"Yes, and that too!" I poked her in the belly button, earning me an `eeep!'

"You looked, um, a little dreamy there."

"Sorry. I guess I was. It's just...good to hear his voice." My voice was gentle and sincere.

"You...you sound like you're in love" she said with the slightest disappointment in her voice.

"Maybe...maybe I am. But it is what it is. We can't be together, nor do I think either of us really wants that. But he'll always have a part of me, and I'll always have a part of him. I'll love him forever for that."

I turned to look at her.

"I love you, too, and you're here with me. We're together now, at this moment. And we will be until this moment ends. Don't worry, my dear. My feelings for him don't change or affect my feelings for you. So I'm going to enjoy every moment we have together. I hope you will too. Please don't let this change how you feel about me, about being with me now."

She stepped closer and put her palm to my cheek.

"No, My Love. It doesn't change anything. My feelings for you are the same as before. I was just...fascinated watching you listen to him. A little jealous too, but I understand. It looks...special and warm. I want that one day."

I took her hand in mine. "You'll have it, dear. Someone is going to be lucky and blessed to have that with you. Until that time, love who you're with. Love David. Love me. Love someone you don't know yet. Do you know what I mean?"

"Yes, I do."

We pulled each other into a slow, heartfelt kiss.

"Now, My Love, can we go have some fun with everyone?" she asked playfully.

"Yes, my Darling Dear. I'm following you!".

.

In the living room, everyone was sitting around the couch, drinking beer, smoking, and eating chips and Doritos. A typical early Saturday evening.

We wanted to sit, so Dawn moved over enough to make space for us. Before I could stop her, Mary sat down next to my mother. I was about to say something, but I felt Dawn's hand on my hip. When I looked, she mouthed "it's okay." I kept my eyes on my mother and Mary as I sat.

"Hi Miss Marie" she said cheerfully.

"Hi Mary. Please, it's just Marie."

"Oh, sorry. I wanted to say thanks again for showing me how to play pool. It was so much fun! But it's harder than it looks."

"That it is. But like I told you, you'll get better as you play more. So, what have you two been doing today?"

"We had a lot of fun with some girls from school. One of them has a pool and we went over and swam and laid out. We both got a little tan. See?" She pulled the shoulder of her shirt down just enough to show the slight tan line from the bikini. Everyone nodded approvingly.

"Ah. I know I smelled suntan lotion."

"I got to wear our friend's mom's cool bikini from the 60's. She said it was `groovy' when she got when she was in college." Everyone laughed, except for Pervert. He called things groovy on a regular basis.

"And what was Paul wearing?"

Since everyone around us referred to me as a girl, she didn't think about it before answering her.

"She had on her little navy blue Speedo. And she let me pull her hair into cute country girl pigtails as well. She was super cute!" she tried not to giggle.

"Oh. No other boys were there?"

"No, just us girls. Carrie's mom even hung out with us for a while. Her brother and dad were gone."

"I see. And her mom didn't...mind?"

"No, not at all. She's super cool. Right when we got there, she told us all that she was cool with Carrie and Hilary being girlfriends, so we didn't have to act like it was some big secret. She also said that she knew that Paulina was really a boy, but she's a beautiful girl and she was cool with her, too. I know she was relieved." She gave me a sweet smile. "We wouldn't have stayed if she wasn't. Paulina's real polite and good about all that."

"Oh. And have your parents met her?"

"Yeah, yesterday. They thought she was very sweet and nice, too."

"Huh. Well it sounds like y'all had a fun day."

Mary was pretty perceptive and could tell that the conversation just ended. But it wasn't a bad or a cold end, so it seemed okay.

.

I was very surprised to watch and hear my mother and Mary have a conversation. My mother was being nice, without appearing to throw in any sarcasm or insults. I was ready to get up and leave with Mary if she did. But she continued to be nice, almost friendly to her.

Dawn subtly touched my leg and got my attention. "Relax. It's okay" she whispered. It was hard to let my guard completely down, but I did take a few deep breaths and try to relax and not be on edge.

We all talked some more. I finished my drink in one big gulp and wanted another one. But it would be near impossible to sneak one with everyone there. Then I saw my mother's almost empty wine glass and had an idea.

"I'm going to get some more 7-Up. Do y'all need cold ones?" Everyone's hands went up. "Mother, would you like more wine?" I asked almost sweetly.

It almost got silent for a moment. Everyone was almost shocked that I offered to refill her glass like I always did for everybody else. Luckily, Mary spoke up before a quiet pause could happen. I don't know if it was deliberate or not, but it saved the moment.

"Paulina, I'll come help you. You can't carry everything by yourself."

"That's why I have you, my little wifey!" I said cheesily as I blew her a big kiss.

Everyone burst into laughter.

The two of us stood. My mother handed Mary her glass and she handed it to me.

"One wine, the rest beers?" Coming up!"

Mary and I made our way to the kitchen to get the drinks.

"I'll refill my mother's wine and then our drinks. You get the beers. Hank gets the first one, then the ladies, then the guys."

"Yes, Dear" she giggled.

.

I made sure no one was looking when I put the shots of vodka in our 7-Ups. After putting new lime wedges in them, I filled my mother's wine glass a little more than half full (as a glass of wine should be). Mary took a six-pack out of the fridge and we walked back to the living room. We had everything and went back to the living room.

.

"Mother, here's your wine" I said in an almost friendly voice as I handed it to her. This got me a few surprised but discreet looks.

"Thank you" she replied in a similar tone.

"Paulina said there an order to this, so here you go, Hank." Mary handed the bottle to him. "Now Dawn and Ann, then the guys." She handed them out in order. I gave her a very pleased look, which earned me a sweet smile in return.

"There's not really an order, but thanks" Hank chucked.

"Well I think there is, so there's gonna be an order. And it will be followed" I said in my imperial voice. Everyone was quiet for a brief moment before we all burst out laughing.

"Of course, Your Majesty! Gotta have order!" Ann exclaimed. We all laughed more.

"Mother, Hank, everyone, it's obviously not a cooking night. Is everyone okay with pizza again?"

"How about Chinese?" my dad replied. My mother gave a nod as well.

"Cool. I didn't think of that. Mary, Darling, you do like Chinese, don't you?" I asked playfully.

"I'll like whatever you like, my dear" she giggled.

Everyone got a kick out of how cheesy and sweet we were with each other and laughed. Even my mother grinned.

"Excellent. Hank, can you order for us since you know what everything is? I know my pizza, but not Chinese."

"We'll go get it" Rick and Jonny offered.

"Great. Thanks for doing that." I said sweetly but sincerely.

.

Mary and I took our seats. I raised my glass to hers and we clinked them together. "Salute!" I said with a smile.

"So, P. Y'all went swimming with the girls that are in love you told us about before?" Shawn asked.

"Yes. Carolina (or Carrie, but I call her Carolina) and Hilary. Both Mary and I have gone to school with them for several years."

"Are they as pretty as you two are?" Jonny asked with a chuckle.

"I think so. Carolina is about your size, Dawn, maybe a little taller. But she has blonde hair and baby blue eyes. Her girlfriend Hilary is totally different. She's tall and athletic and muscular but very pretty. We call her Amazon. Her hair the same color as mine, and she has blue eyes, but they're darker than Carolina's."

"And you said Carrie's mom is cool with them being with each other?"

"Yes. I think they were a little worried that she wouldn't be, but she came out and said she was, so that was really nice. It would be hard on them if she wasn't."

"And what about Hilary's mom?"

"Hmm, I don't know. Mary, you know her parents. What do you think?" I gave her a knowing look, hoping no one else caught it.

"Oh, um, they're probably cool with it. I slept with -- I-I mean slept over with her a few times and they were okay." She turned beet red and wanted to hide her face but couldn't.

To her surprise, and relief, no one said anything to embarrass her. I know everyone was thinking about what she said but kept it to themselves.

"That's cool, man. Chicks should be able to do want they want with whoever they want." Pervert gave her a little salute with his bottle. Everyone broke out laughing, even Mary.

"So when are we gonna see these two beauties over here?" Jonny asked with a laugh.

"You won't. Nor will you see any of my other girls here. Mary is a special exception" I answered kind of seriously.

"Why not? Sounds like they might have fun. And you know we're all cool with all kinds of people. Don't matter who they're lovin'" he asked.

"Because I don't want them here. So you won't see them here" I replied in the same cool tone my mother would use to imply that a conversation was over. Everyone got the message.

"Well that's cool. Just askin'." He didn't seem bothered that the discussion was cut off. It was quiet for a moment before everyone started talking again.

"Alright y'all, food's ordered" my dad said as he got off the phone.

"Okay. Be back in a moment." I got up and went to my room to get money.

.

"Mary, she's not kidding when she said you're a special exception to coming over. She's never had classmates over before. You two must be real tight." Shawn asked.

"Um, we weren't before this week. I...needed her help with something...and she let me come home with her. I didn't know I was the only one she let come here. I do feel kind of special" she replied with a sweet blush.

"What? You mean you two haven't been girlfriends for like a long time?" He sounded very surprised.

"Um, no. We, um, kinda didn't like each other before."

"Really? Looks like y'all had a big turnaround then, huh?"

"Yeah. We didn't really know each other at all, though. Know what I mean? She's different...sweeter and nicer than I thought she'd be."

"She's not sweet at school like she is here?" Everyone was very interested.

"No...not really. She's...like, solid. Confident. In control. Like, all business. She's firm but still nice to people and very polite to the teachers and adults and everybody. She's especially nice and caring to the ones she's close to. Boys and girls. She really cares and looks after them."

"You're close, then. That's for sure. You're a lucky girl" They all raised their beers up in salute.

"Remember what I told you, Mary" my dad added, "she doesn't give her feelings and loyalty lightly. Once she does, it's done. And it's solid. You can count on it."

"I, um, I know. I knew I could count on her" she replied in a quieter voice.

.

When I returned to the living room with money to give to Rick, everyone stopped talking for a moment and looked at me. I could tell that I was just being discussed. I wanted to know what was said.

"What is it? Y'all were obviously talking about me. So out with it." I said in my serious voice as I crossed my arms and unconsciously tapped my foot.

"I...um...was---" Mary started to say shyly, but my dad cut her off.

"We were asking Mary what you're like at school, but she really wouldn't tell us anything more than that you're real polite and look out for the people you care about."

"Yes...I am. The people I care about are very important to me and I always look out for them and do whatever I can to help when they need it. Y'all all know that." I had the feeling that more was discussed but I let it go.

"That's what makes you wonderful, P." Shawn said as he patted my hair.

"You're a cool human being, man" Pervert said sincerely.

"I've learned that it takes more energy to be mean and unpleasant than it does to be nice. So I'd rather be nice. But if someone gets on my bad side, well then, I deal with them. Y'all know that, too." I gave my mother a subtle look. She gave me a look back, but not an antagonistic one.

"You have to deal with anyone lately?" Ann said with a laugh, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yes. My recent dealings were...successful, so everything's good now. Better than before, actually." I sounded pleased. Mary and I shared a look, which I saw that Shawn caught. I knew he knew it was about my going out the night before, and he would probably ask me about it later.

.

After a few minutes, Rick and Jonny got up to go get the food. We needed our drinks refilled, as did my mother, and everyone needed new beers, so I held out my hand for Mary. She took it and followed me into the kitchen. I figured we should probably have a drink without vodka, since it was early and we'd be having some later.

We didn't speak as she got the beers out of the fridge and handed me my mother's wine bottle. I could tell she was nervous about something. I placed one of my hands on hers after she set the beer bottles down.

"Mary, what's wrong?"

"I, um, I'm sorry. I-I really didn't mean to say anything---"

"About me at school?"

"...Yes. I, um, I hope you're not mad at me..." she sounded even more nervous.

I gave her a serious but not upset look. "Mary, I'm not upset with you. I do want to know what you said, though. As I told you before, I do keep my home life and my school life separate."

"They asked how you were at school. I-I didn't want to lie, so I said you were real cool and calm and solid acting. But polite and really nice to the people you're close too."

"Well, that's true, isn't it? It's fine then. Don't worry about it."

"A-are you sure? I-I don't want you to be upset with me." She pulled her hair like she did when she was nervous.

I pulled her into a hug.

"No, my dear, I'm not upset with you. Just don't say anything more if people ask, okay?"

"O-okay." She said with relief as she hugged me back.

"Now, drinks. Let me show you how to pour a glass of wine properly." I carefully poured a half glass, just like Jack had taught me, even though it was a little more than it should be. "You'll bring it to my mother. She seems to like you. I'll get everybody's beers."

"Y-you're not mad at me?" she asked meekly.

"No, my darling, I'm not. I promise."

She gave me a sweet and relieved smile. I didn't think she was as nervous as she was.

"Come along, Wifey. There are drinks waiting for people" I said in my imperial voice.

"Yes, Dear" she said with a giggle.

We walked back into the living room.

"Miss -- I mean Marie -- here's your wine. She showed me how to pour it right." She handed my mother her glass.

"Thank you. It looks just right" she answered in an almost warm tone.

"Beers for the rest of you. In order!" I exclaimed. Everyone laughed as I handed my dad, Dawn, Ann, and the guys their beers.

"Salute!" I held up my glass and clinked it with Mary's. Everyone else clinked their bottles in cheers.

.

Rick and Jonny returned shortly after. As I had done before, I made Mary's plate for her and refilled her drink. She still felt a little spoiled as I took care of her while we ate, but she loved it. I smiled sweetly while we ate and talked with everyone. They all enjoyed watching us be sweet to each other, especially how I waited on her. They were all still having a hard time believing that we didn't like each other before, or that I wasn't cute and sweet at school like I was at home.

It wasn't long until everyone was finished. I volunteered Mary and myself to clean up. This time I didn't have to tell her what to do. We had everyone's mess cleaned up pretty fast.

I really wanted to call Big Jim, but I wanted to talk to him alone, so I wanted Mary to go play pool for a while. As I was in the dining room and turning to go into the kitchen, I almost ran into my mother. We both stopped short of colliding.

"Oh! Sorry, mother. Didn't mean to almost run you over" I said coolly.

"Sorry I didn't see you there. I wasn't looking."

"Can I ask a favor?" I said quietly.

She just looked at me for a moment before answering, trying not to show how surprised she was that I was asking her something.

"Yes. What is it?" she replied in an almost pleasant tone.

"Would you or Hank or someone please play a few games of pool with Mary for a little while? I have an important phone call to make. I don't want to be a bad host and just leave her on her own. I mean she knows everyone, but---"

"I know what you mean. Yes, we'll look after her for a little bit. Go make your call."

"Thanks, I appreciate it" I replied in my own almost pleasant tone.

She gave me a little nod before heading into the family room, where the pool table was. Mary was throwing away some garbage when I got her attention.

"My Dear, why don't you go play pool with my mother for a bit. I need to make a phone call."

"Oh, okay. Don't want me to listen in?"

"Not this time. But I'll let you know what I find out. I'll come back when I'm done."

She gave me an acknowledging look. "Okay." She went to join my mother at the pool table.

.

Once I was back in my room, I replayed Big Jim's message. It sounded like everything went as planned, but after finding the cum-filled panties under Mary's pillow, I was even more angry about the whole situation. I wished he would have been injured, or more. But then I smiled to myself. He had not been `talked to' yet. I would be sure to have Jim pass along the latest development to his boys in Ozona.

I dialed is number.

"'Ello?"

"Hi Bunny, it's me."

"Hey there, darlin'. How you doin'?"

"Good. How are y'all?"

"Jus' fine. Bout t' get Tammy cookin'. Ya know, she's perdy good at learnin' it. Gonna gitt'er t' make ya somethin' whin yer up here gain. Speakin' o' which, whin ya comin' back up thisaway?"

"Hopefully soon. I miss y'all. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Us too, hon. Ah know you `n Jimmy gots thangs t' discuss, so here he is, Talk wit'cha soon, kay? Love ya, darlin'."

"Love you too."

She handed the phone over.

"Hey there princiss. Ya'got mah message, ah reckon."

"Yes. It was good to hear" I said cooly.

"But? You ain't soundin' as...satisfied as ah thought y'd be."

"I would have been, but something happened this afternoon. We didn't find out until he was gone. Probably at about the same time he had his accident."

"Whut wuz it, darlin'? Ah'm getting' the feelin' t'wuzznt no good."

"No, it wasn't. When Mar...my friend and I went back to her house once we knew he was gone, she was getting some clothes to wear tonight with me. She found a pair of her panties under her pillow. They were covered in that bastard's cum. She told me that he's done that before, and that every time he did it he told her to keep them and show them to him the next time he was there or else he'd hurt her more than before."

"That no good bastard, doin' that t' a young woman."

"Then, um, her mother came in and saw them. My friend had to explain it but didn't want to say everything that he...did to her. You know what I mean?"

"Yes, darlin'. Ah know."

"Turns out he would feel her mother up anytime he could when her dad was out or something. I saw him try to touch her when I was over there before."

"Ah see. Well, ah got another lil' piece o' information fer ya. Wonna the boys ah know over his way tol' me his wife had their lil' girl out playin' by the school in town. Iss got a lil' playground. She saw him walkin' by real slow, and leerin' at all the lil' girls. Said she'd seen him b'fore. But here's the kicker -- he said his wife tol' him that their lil' girl had an accident and took off her undies but kep on playin'. She wuz goin' down'na slide whin he wuz passen'. He stood there an' looked up her lil' skirt while she slid down. All the way. And her momma wuz right there watchin'! She said he looked at her an' `justed his dick in his pants b'fore smilin' an' walkin' home."

"That motherfucker!" I growled.

"Now, you cin imagine it wuzzn't easy talkin' mah frien' down from goin' over an' beatin' his ass right then an' there. But ah convinced him ta wait till all the boys could talk' to em."

"I was so mad! I just wanted to find a ride up there right then and take care of him myself. I...I'm just...disgusted. Not just by what awful shit he did to my girl, but little girls, too? Now I'm just...I'm like on fire inside and want to burn him to ashes! I want to be there and help when your boys talk to him. I want to make him to feel the pain! I want him to feel how mad I am! All of it! Every last bit!!!" Thoughts of both Mary and my sister filled my mind.

I didn't realize how worked up I was getting. My fists were clenched, and my voice was raised and an octave higher. I could feel my blood pressure rise and heartbeat increase. My face was flushed red with anger. Both my big clit and my nipples were almost painfully hard. I was trembling a little.

"Pauleena, take a breath" Jim said in a calm, level but authoritative voice. He heard me stop for a moment and let out a breath. I didn't realize I was mostly holding it in.

"Now, take another. Deeper, an' hold it." A moment passed. "Let it out. Good. Now another. And another."

After a few breaths, my heart rate was slowing down a little.

"Pauleena, ah want ya t' sit on the floor, cross yer legs an' close yer eyes. Jus' think `bout yer breathin'. Try t' keep it at tha same slow pace, even though ya still upset. You's gonna calm down, jus' keep breathin'" he said in a soothing voice.

"O-okay." I did what he said.

"In an' out, slow an' steady. Feel yourself lettin' `nat tension go ev'ry time y' let a breath out. Like iss flowin' away. Feel yer blood slowin' an' yer pressure lowerin'. Thass it, let it all go, slow like. Keep on breathin' like ya are."

I continued to follow his instructions and did find myself relaxing and my body slowing down. After a minute I was still agitated but felt a little better.

"You better, darlin'?" he asked.

"I-I am. Thanks. I've never been able to calm down and feel better so fast after being upset before. Where did you learn that? Can you teach me more? I think I really need it."

"Sure ah cin. We met some Buddhist monks in Nam. Ah was intrigued that they wer'nt appearin' stressed by all th' war an' chaos goin' on round em. Whin ah got back to th' States, ah was innerested in learnin' more bout it. Ah foun' somebody who knew bout it all an' ney taught me some things. It helpd `lot. Still does."

"My anger gets real intense sometimes, like about all this stuff. I-I'm afraid of it sometimes. When I feel it, I call it going to my dark side. Like the evil characters in Star Wars did. They said it comes from fear and anger. I-I don't want to become evil one day and never not be good anymore."

"Darlin', you got so much good in ya that y' aint gotta worry bout that. Ever'body has some darkness in em. Thass jus' bein' human. But bein' able t' keep in check an' maintain some balance is the hard thing. Ya jus' gotta work at it. We all do."

"Big Jim, you're so wise! I hope I can be like you one day with all this."

"Ah know ya will but it'll take time. Been takin' me years, an' ah'm still workin' on it. Ah want ya t' do somethn' though."

"What is it?"

"Ya gotta help somebody with th' same pro'lem if ya meet em an' ya' cin. Gotta pass long whut ya learn an' know. It'll help, too."

"Is that why you're helping me?"

"Partly so. Mos'ly `cause ah'm so fond of ya, but'cha remine me o' mahself, so ah gotta help you if ah cin. R'member, kindrid spirits an' all."

"I won't forget that, ever."

"Good. Now back t' bizness, ah think th' boys'er gonna be talkin to em soon. Ah'll fill ya in whin ah hear bout it."

"Please let me know as soon as you can. My friend is as anxious to hear about it as well. She said to tell you thank you for helping me. A bad part of her life is ending and she's really grateful. I couldn't have done anything without your help."

"Tell er she's welcome. Mos' folks don't tolerate things like that happenin' t' youngins'. But too offen they don' know, an' piece o' shit people get way wit' doin' it. Glad this `un won't."

"You know how much it means to me, too. So thank you again, from both of us."

"Ah know it does. You all calmed down yet?"

"Not all the way. What we did earlier helped but I'm still on edge. I don't wanna think about it and get angry again."

"R'member whut we talked about las' time? Whin we hang up, ah want'cha ta git yerself off. Make it a big `un. Iss gonna let that physical part out so yer body an' mind can catch up wit' each other. Promise ya, iss gonna help."

"Oh, okay. I think I have time. Mar--- my friend -- my friend's name is Mary, but I know you already have that figured out -- is playing pool with my parents and friends. They've all taking a liking to her. My mother too, would you believe?"

"Well, ain't that sumthin'! Ah know yer momma don' like other wimmin much. See there? World changes ever'y day. Ya jus' gotta observe it and go wit it."

"You're right. I'm trying. She's been kinda nice, but I just don't trust her. So I'm paying close attention to how she's being."

"Good. You keep that up."

"Mary asked if she could come with me to see y'all one day. Bunny said it would be okay, I just don't think her parents would let her. I know none of my friends have the freedom I do."

"Well, she'd be welcome to come if she cin. Now you go on and do whut ah said an' get'cherself off an' feel better. Y' cin think `bout Lil' Jimmy stretchin' ya out good if it helps!" he laughed.

"Oh, I will! Alright, I'll go. Love you, Big Jim. Thanks for everything."

"Yer welcome, darlin'. Ah'll keep ya posted. Bye now."

.

I knew I didn't have much time, so I took my shorts and panties off and hopped on the bed. I grabbed my toy and the KY out of my nightstand. I squirted a good amount on my fingers and leaned back with my legs spread open. I began fingering myself with one hand and stroking my big clit with the other. Starting with one finger, then two, then three. My little ass was ready for my toy. I slid it in slowly, stopping about an inch in. The pain was sharp but only lasted for a few moments. I slowly fucked myself, going deeper with each push. I stroked my big clit in time with each thrust. I could feel the hard tip of my toy hit that magical spot inside every time. I increased the speed and the strength. Soon, I could feel the heat and pulse of my impending orgasm. When I couldn't hold back any longer, I thrust it in as deep and as hard as I could, while stroking my big clit with equal intensity. I turned my head and bit the corner of the pillow when I came.

"Uhnnnnnnhhhhhhhh!!!" I shot several little spurts of cum over the end of the bed. "AHHHHH!!!" The release was intense.

I lay there for a few minutes to catch my breath and relax. As I slowed down and my breathing and heart rate returned to normal, I noticed that the physical tenseness I had when I was angry earlier was fading away. Jim was right -- between the two activities, I did feel much better and back to normal. I sucked my toy clean and put it back in the drawer in my nightstand. After another minute or two, I got up and went over to my desk. I had a container of Wet Ones that I kept specifically for cleaning up after masturbating. They didn't smell the best, but in the 1980s they only came in one variety. I wiped my little ass and crack clean, leaving no traces of KY or my own juices. I put my panties, shorts and sandals back on. After fixing my hair and touching up my lips, I went back out to see Mary.

.

As I waked to the family room to see how the pool games were going, I quickly put a shot of vodka in my glass before adding the 7-Up and lime. It was a little strong but good.

Mary and my mother, and Dawn and Ann were playing partners.

"Hello ladies. Who's winning?"

"Paulina! Hey! Me and Marie are, but not by much. Those two are good!" She pointed at Dawn and Ann.

"Yes, I noticed that all the women here play well. How is she doing, mother?" Once again, she was surprised to hear me ask her a question in a conversational tone.

"She's doing well. Picking things up quickly."

"That's my girl! Playing with these three, you'll be an expert in no time!"

"Thanks!!!" She beamed with happiness from being praised by both of us. It made her feel so good that she wasn't thinking about the emotionally difficult situations earlier in the afternoon.

"Do you want a refill? Mother, more wine? Dawn and Ann?"

"Yes please, Sweetie" she replied with a cheesy smile.

"That would be nice" my mother replied as well.

"Two here" Ann answered.

"Coming up. I'll check on the guys after yours."

Returning to the kitchen, I made Mary's drink first. I put in a shot of vodka, but not as heavy a one that I added to mine. My mother's wine was next, then beers for Dawn and Ann.

"Here you are. Mother" I her glass to her first. She nodded her thanks. "Mary, my Dear." She said thanks and blew me a sweet kiss. "Ladies" I gave Dawn and Ann their bottles.

"Salute!" We all raised our drinks and took a sip.

Mary gave me a discreet smile when she tasted the vodka.

"I'm gonna go check on the guys." I went to the living room to see them.

.

"Hi guys" I said sweetly. "Mike! I didn't see you earlier!" I gave him a hug.

"Hey, P."

"Hey, man."

"Hiya Paulina."

Shawn, Mike, my dad, Pervert, Rick and Jonny were on the couch.

"Anyone else need refills?" I picked up Shawn's empty bottle and waved it back and forth.

"Yep, all around" my dad answered.

"Coming right up!" I replied sweetly.

.

"So, she's in a better mood than earlier." Rick said.

"Yeah. A lot better, it looks like. Maybe getting whatever issue she had earlier sorted out made her feel better." Shawn added.

"Do you know what that was all about? She still hasn't said anything to me about it" my dad asked.

"No, not really. Only that Mary had a problem she needed to help fix. Why that took her dressing like a boy at midnight and disappearing for an hour, I just don't know."

"Huh? She told us she needed to bring something to a friend."

"Maybe she had to sneak something to him, I guess. Maybe she'll tell us another time."

"Maybe so" he replied with a concerned look.

.

I returned from the kitchen with a six pack of bottles, which I already opened.

"Now, I'll do this in order" I said in my imperial voice, trying not to laugh. "Hank, you first. Mike, since I haven't seen you in a couple of weeks, yours is next. Then the rest of you guys. And a Coke for Pervert!" We all laughed.

"Hey, Paulina. I hear you took a liking to our friend Bernie" Mike asked.

I unconsciously made a dreamy face and fingered my bracelet.

"Yeah. He's super nice" I said more sweetly than I meant to.

"Looks like somebody has a serious crush!" Shawn teased.

"Maybe..." I twirled the ends of my hair. "But don't be jealous. I still love you!"

He made an exaggerated pout before we all laughed.

"Seriously, he's a really nice guy. He told me about his adventures in Australia. He was sweet and friendly and interesting. I know he didn't have to sit and talk with me, but he did."

"Well, he was impressed with you. He liked the way you came up to us and started talking. He also liked that you're, well, you."

"Good. I never want to pretend I'm something I'm not. I love the way I am. I'm glad y'all like me too. Even though it took a couple of you a while to warm up to me!" I pointed at Rick and Jonny.

They both blushed slightly.

"See? But I knew all along that my beauty and charm would eventually win y'all over!" I ran a hand over my hip.

"Well, you certainly are beautiful and charming." He raised his beer bottle up in salute. I clinked my glass to it.

"I do my best. Speaking of beautiful, Mike, have you seen my little wife yet?" I giggled.

"What? You ran off and got married? Hearts are breaking all over!" he replied dramatically.

"Very funny! She's just my girlfriend but she's sweet as a little wife should be. She's wonderful!" We all laughed again.

"Doesn't hurt that she's a hot little fox, too" Pervert chimed in.

"If you go in the family room, you'll see her playing pool with the ladies."

"Marie too?" He sounded a little surprised. He knew how she usually was with other women.

"Yeah," my dad added, "Marie's taken a little liking to her. Don't know why or how, but we're just gonna go with it. Right, kiddo?"

"Right. If I think about it too much, I'll give myself a headache! They guys all laughed again.

"Look guys, here's my wife!"

"Hey, my Sweet!" She walked over and gave me a hug and a bright smile.

"Love, please meet Mike. He one of our family's oldest friends. Mike, this is Mary. We have classes together."

"Hi Mike, nice to meet you" she said sweetly.

"And you, too. Paulina said you're a beauty. She wasn't kidding!"

She blushed. "Thanks."

"Guys, we're gonna go change and freshen up for a bit and will be back later."

"Gotta stay fresh" Pervert said in his monotone voice as raised his Coke bottle in salute.

I took Mary by the hand and led her to my room.

.

The guys couldn't help but watch us walk away. Mary's curves and swish were lovely.

"Got to hand it to her, Paulina's girl is a hot little beauty" Mike said appreciatively.

"That she is. But she's pretty cool for a kid her age, too. She's alright hanging out. Learning to play pool good, too. They seem to be a good match" my dad added.

"Looks like she still has her crush on Bernie though."

"Well, you know how young girls are. He's a pretty cool dude, and the women all think he's good looking."

"He is pretty cool. Didn't have any problem with her really being a boy. Said he met chicks like her in Europe and other places."

"You shoulda seen it though. She was by his side all night. I think she got a little jealous, too, but she kept a lot of other chicks away. Made one or two hit the road when they tried to talk to him."

They all laughed.

"And then there was that chick Karen. She seemed like a cold fish for a while. She came with a buddy of mine from work. I thought they were together, or even just fucking or something. But she just tagged along with him. She saw Bernie and wanted to make some moves on him, but Paulina wasn't having it. Evidently they ended up having words and she shut her down" My dad said with a chuckle.

"Yeah Mike, she was with him all night. But like you said, he was being nice to her. She was definitely eating up the attention, that's for sure!" Shawn added.

"But later, she found Karen in the bathroom puking. She cleaned her up and took her to her room for a while and took care of her. You know Marie, or a lot of other chicks would have left her there `cause they thought she was a bitch. That was real sweet of her. I told her to always be a cool person like that."

"Wow. But I'm not surprised. She was always sweet and caring, even as a little kid. She always acted better and older than other people's kids. Y'all did good with her." Mike raised his bottle and clinked it with my dad's.

"Yeah, I think so too" he replied with a little pride in his voice.

.

Back in my room we sat on the bed with our backs against the wall. I thought about getting another chair for her to sit in.

"So, um, what did your friend say?" she asked.

I turned and looked at her.

"When he was crossing into Mississippi, over the Pearl River, he had an accident. His van flipped on its side and caught fire." Her eyes got wide. "He got out and made it home, but the van was destroyed."

"Good. I hated that van" she said in a cool voice.

"But there's more. It's pretty fucked up too. Do you want to know?"

She thought for a moment before answering. "Yes."

"We he got to Ozona, he walked past a playground where little kids were playing. One little girl peed herself earlier, so her mom took her panties off so she could still play. She was sliding down a slide, so her skirt went up and she had her legs spread. He saw her and stood there leering at her little pussy. Her mom saw him and gave him dirty looks. He looked at her and grabbed his dick and smiled before walking off. The lady had seen him there before and told her husband when she got home, and he told my friend."

She looked angry and disgusted.

"He used to make be show him when I was nine or ten. He made me stand there while he rubbed and touched it. He never fingered me then though." Her voice was cold.

"My friend told me that he had to convince the little girl's dad not to go beat his ass right then, and to wait and go with all the other guys to `talk' to him.

"When are they `talking' to him?"

"Probably tomorrow. I, um, told him about this afternoon as well."

"That's...okay. I hope your friend tells all his friends about it. I hope they...hurt him. Bad."

"I'm pretty sure they will. I'll let you know as soon as I find out."

"Did he say anything else?"

"Yeah...but not about that."

"What?"

"I, um, was so mad when I was talking to him. Especially hearing about that little girl. I was getting riled up but he had me do some things to help calm down. They worked pretty good."

"Like what?"

"He had me sit down and breath slow, just thinking about doing that. After a few minutes I did feel less upset, but not all the way."

"Did he tell you to do anything else?"

"Um, yeah."

"What? You're not saying something!"

"He, um, told me to make myself cum after we got off the phone. He said to cum like really hard and intense. So I did" I said with an almost embarrassed tone.

"Paulina! Why didn't you come get me? I would have done that for you!"

"I needed to do it myself. He was right -- once I came, I totally calmed down. It was like all the mad and anger just evaporated. I felt so much better afterward."

She got a mischievous look on her face and ran a finger over my thigh. "Will you let me make you feel better later?"

"Of course, My Love" I replied sweetly.

I pulled her into a slow but passionate kiss. She ran one hand through my hair and rubbed my big clit through my shorts with the other. It got hard but I needed to wait a little while before playing.

"You can't have it now, Sugar plum. You have to be patient and wait." I poked her nose playfully.

"Uwah...alright cuddle bunny" she said with a faux pout. "But I want it later!"

"Of course, Love. I do too. But for now, let's dress up cute and go back out and join the party. I want another drink anyway!"

"Okay! Um, honey?"

"Yes Dear?"

"Um, how will we know if we get tipsy and people can tell?" I-I don't won't to be goofy and embarrass you or anything." She sounded a little worried.

"Don't worry, my sweet. I'll do my best to keep an eye on us. If I feel it, we'll either take a break or come in for the night."

"Okay. I'll do my best to be good."

"I know you will. Now, let's change."

.

I chose a navy blue sleeveless polo shirt with a white skirt and sandals. I took out the silver fleur di lis necklace and earrings that the Green's gave me. I pulled my hair up and she put the necklace around my neck. Even though it didn't match, I kept my bracelet from Bernard on.

Mary put on the burgundy v-neck top and black skirt she brought. They showed some skin, but not too much. She had a gold necklace with a heart pendant.

Next were our nails. We sat on the bed and painted each other's toes first. Since we were both wearing sandals, our toes and fingernails would match.

"What do you think? The navy blue or the lighter one?" I held up the two colors.

"The lighter one. It'll still go with your shirt."

She carefully painted my toes.

"Now mine."

She brought a burgundy that matched her top. It looked good on her lighter skin, but it wasn't too much. I did her toes.

We did our own fingernails. We did our lips next. She used a color that was lighter than the burgundy on her nails. I put on the darker coral pink I liked. It matched the natural color of my lips pretty well. It gave them more depth.

I pulled my hair back into a ponytail, tied with a ribbon that matched my shirt. She wore hers down. It was the color and length of mine, but naturally wavy.

Giving each other a onceover, we were pleased with our looks.

"You're beautiful, my Dear" I said sweetly.

"You are too, My Love" she replied with a loving smile.

We finished off with perfume. We both put on the Chanel, since it was lighter than the YSL Opium.
