4. The Riveras Again
Returning from the bathroom, Rose found Laura sitting up on her bed and caressing her tablet.
'Hey, babe,' Rose said smilingly. 'Miss me?'
'Hi,' said Laura, looking up from her tablet and smiling back. 'And no, actually, I didn't miss you much because I had something I wanted to do. In fact what I've just done is, I've accepted my conditional offer from the University of Florida.'
'Wow, that's great!' said Rose. Then she saw Laura's uncertain expression and added, 'Isn't it?'
'It's great because I'll get to be with you,' said Laura. 'And Lucie decided to accept her offer weeks ago, and Max is down there... because Max is down there... so the four of us will have some really amazing times. I know Max doesn't live that near campus, but... oh, that's irrelevant. The point is, I really do want to spend as much time with you as I can, Rose.'
Rose smiled at Laura as she went to sit by her on the bed. 'I'm happy to hear that, querida, because I really want to spend time with you.'
'So it's not the people or the place,' Laura went on. 'It's the whole college thing. I'm not absolutely sure I'm going to like law, but I just don't have any better ideas.'
'You can always change,' said Rose, reaching out to stroke Laura's long, luscious hair. 'Start with law and see how you like it... unless you think of a better idea in the meantime.'
'Everything you can do at college sounds scary to me,' said Laura. 'Sometimes I think...'
'What?' said Rose. 'Come on, sweetie, you can tell me.'
'Well... sometimes I think I might be happier if I just went straight into work... something you can do without a college education that's not stressful, like... oh, you know.'
'You could do “you know” if you wanted to.'
'I don't think my dad would like it. Or T'Keyah, but... y'know, she's less entitled to have a say.'
'No she's not, because none of them are entitled. It's your decision. If they don't like it, fuck 'em.'
Laura burst into shocked laughter. 'Rose!'
'What?' Rose said innocently. 'Only you know what's right for you. What about your mom – would she support you?'
'I don't know,' Laura said pensively. 'You know she's not, like, a career woman or whatever like T'Keyah... but she's always saying the four of us are all so much smarter than she ever was, and we can do anything we want and all that kind of stuff.'
'And you think she means the kind of “anything” that has to involve book smarts?'
'Maybe. I mean, people normally do, don't they?'
'It doesn't matter what “people” say,' said Rose. 'You have to listen to your heart.'
'Well, that's telling me I need to be in Florida,' said Laura, 'which is why I've accepted this offer. And it's not like I positively don't want to be a lawyer; I'm just not sure, so I guess it's a good idea to give it a try.'
'It is,' said Rose. 'And you can always change, or drop out completely if that's what you decide.'
'Have you thought about what happens in two years?' Laura asked tentatively. 'You know... after you come back here for good.'
'Maybe I'll change my mind,' said Rose. 'Babe, we really just need to keep playing all of this stuff by ear. Goodness knows what might or might not have changed in two years.'
'I envy Lucie a little bit, you know,' said Laura. 'She's so sure of what she wants to do, and where she wants to do it, and who she wants to do it with.'
'Laura,' Rose said earnestly. 'No matter what happens, and no matter where we go, the four of us will always be with each other, through everything.'
'Yeah... of course we will,' said Laura.
They exchanged a smile, and within seconds they were kissing each other tenderly. This went on for several minutes before Rose began making throaty noises and kissing Laura more voraciously. Then suddenly she pulled out of the kiss with a smacking sound and said, 'Do you feel like having some sex?'
'With you,' said Laura, giggling, 'always.'
'It's the way you look in these cut-off jeans – it's just driving me crazy,' said Rose, sliding her hands under Laura's T-shirt and finding her free-hanging breasts beneath.
'It's just round-the-house wear!' Laura laughed.
'It's sexy as fuck,' said Rose, bringing her hands down to Laura's thighs and massaging them just below the frayed denim of her cut-offs.
'I guess you don't want me to take it off, then.'
'No. What I'd really like is...'
'What? Tell me.'
'I don't know if you'll think it's weird.'
'I'll tell you if I'm not comfortable with it,' said Laura, 'and I won't hold it against you if that turns out to be the case. Just try me.'
'I'd like to see you touching yourself while you're wearing that stuff,' said Rose.
'Oh. Okay!' Laura giggled self-consciously as she unbuttoned and unzipped her denim cut-offs and tied her loose blue T-shirt in a knot under her breasts to get it out of her way. 'Where would you like me to start?'
'Wherever you want,' said Rose. 'What do you normally do?'
'I normally touch my neck first and work my way down,' said Laura, beginning to run her fingertips over her neck, her throat and both collarbones. 'But I don't normally do it in this position.'
'What do you do?' Rose asked interestedly, as she watched Laura's hands moving down and squeezing her breasts through the T-shirt.
'I lie on my back. But I thought that'd be really awkward with these clothes on.'
'You look great like that, baby.'
'I don't normally touch my tits much either,' Laura went on, sliding her hands down her abdomen, her hips and her thighs.
'Your nipples aren't all that sensitive, right?' said Rose.
'No,' said Laura. 'Yours are, though.'
'Yeah, they are,' said Rose, who had begun to massage her own left nipple through her T-shirt.
'Do you play with them when you masturbate?'
'Depends. If I'm watching porn, I just look at the screen 'til I'm ready to touch my clit. But if I'm using my imagination or I'm looking at a magazine, it helps to touch myself all over, especially my nipples.'
'I didn't know you looked at porn,' said Laura, her breaths coming shorter and sharper as she raised her hands back to her abdomen.
'Don't you?' asked Rose.
'I haven't tried it yet,' Laura said as her right hand snaked its way down inside her shorts. 'But maybe I will.'
'Cool,' said Rose, her breathing also laboured as she watched Laura's movements. 'I could send you links to some of my favourites if you'd like. But none of them could hold a candle to this.'
'Thanks,' tittered Laura. 'What else do you do?'
'I normally kneel, like you're doing now.'
'Naked?'
'If it's not too cold.'
'Cool. Kiss me.'
Rose smiled, got herself into a kneeling position in front of Laura and kissed her sensually. After a while, Laura's hand came out of her cut-offs and she divested Rose of her T-shirt. She spent a few moments looking appreciatively at Rose's erect nipples, then they continued to kiss and Rose slipped her hand into Laura's shorts, where she found her pussy wet and her clitoris engorged.
Both women moaned appreciatively as they kissed, Rose tracing circles on Laura's clit with her forefinger and Laura massaging Rose's breasts, one in each hand, pinching the hypersensitive nipples between forefinger and thumb. Then eventually Laura pulled away and said breathlessly, 'That feels incredible, baby, but I don't think I can come like this.'
'No problem,' Rose smiled at her. 'Take it all off and lie back so I can finish you.'
'Will you use your mouth?'
'Sure, babe. Can I wear the T-shirt?'
'Okay,' said Laura, smiling as she pulled the specified item over her head.
Rose removed her own trousers and underwear, then took Laura's T-shirt and put it on, shivering with lust as the fabric brushed against her breasts, her buttocks, her thighs and her pussy. Laura, meanwhile, had taken off her shorts and underwear and was lying back with her legs spread wide. Rose positioned herself between them, bent her head and began running her lips and tongue over Laura's swollen clitoris.
Laura's vocalisations of pleasure were unrestrained and, due to the start she had given herself, it didn't take her long to reach orgasm. Her screams were louder than they had ever been, and when she opened her eyes a minute or two after it was over, she saw Rose kneeling in an upright position and looking very impressed.
'Wow,' said Rose.
'You did all the work, baby,' Laura purred.
'Not really,' said Rose, crawling into Laura's arms and settling her head on her left breast. 'You got yourself most of the way.'
'Well, yeah, kinda. But you're the reason I could; it really turned me on, looking at you and having that conversation with you.'
'It really turned me on too.'
'And you're not even finished yet,' said Laura. 'What would you like me to do for you, baby?'
'It's all so good,' said Rose. 'I guess it's the finger's turn, huh?'
'Oh, they're taking turns?' Laura giggled.
'Looks like it,' said Rose.
'Will you kneel like you normally do, and start yourself off? I'd kinda like to see that.'
'Sure. Do you want me to take off your T-shirt?'
'No, I like seeing you wear it. Unless you want to take it off.'
'No, baby – I like wearing it.'
They exchanged a smile, then Rose got onto her knees with her thighs and buttocks resting on her calves, and slid her left hand underneath her body. She was already fully aroused so she went straight for her clitoris, stroking it gently with her forefinger and scrunching up the quilt cover in her right hand. She closed her eyes and sighed heavily through her growing arousal. After a couple of minutes, Laura got up onto her own knees and shuffled into position behind Rose.
'Shall I take over now?' she whispered.
'Yes please,' Rose whispered back, withdrawing her hand, which was sticky with her juices.
Laura slipped her right arm underneath Rose's own and snaked her hand down, over the folds of the T-shirt. Rose gasped and moaned when Laura's forefinger found her clitoris and began moving in slow, gentle circles.
'Just the finger and the mouth to alternate, huh?' Laura murmured in her ear.
'Yeah...' Rose sighed.
'Have you ever tried anything else?'
'Mmm... Like what?'
'Like toys or the bedpost or something.'
'I tried some things once... ooh, yeah... but I don't need any of that stuff. This is just perfect. God, that's good... How about you?'
'I haven't tried anything yet,' said Laura, reaching round with her left hand to find the hem of her T-shirt on Rose. She then lifted the garment up a little, cupped Rose's left breast in her hand and massaged the nipple with her thumb.
'Oh my God!' Rose gasped. 'Dios mío! Oooooh, Laura...'
She leaned her head back against Laura's ample bosom as her pleasure mounted and her moans became increasingly louder. This time she screamed unrestrainedly through her orgasm, just as Laura had done, secure in the knowledge that they were alone in the house.
Afterwards, she spent a couple of minutes recovering in Laura's arms, then shuffled round and kissed her deeply.
'Thank you, querida,' said Rose. 'That was incredible.'
'It was my pleasure,' said Laura.
'Mmmm... mine more.' Rose kissed her again, then said, 'So, I guess we'd better try you with some kind of vibrator while you're here, huh?'
Laura looked dubious. 'Do you have one?'
'I have an electric leg razor.'
'Oh, but you don't want to use it for that!'
'Of course I do!' Rose said with a grin.
'Well,' said Laura, giggling, 'if you're sure...'
'Would you like to try it right now?' asked Rose.
'Um,' said Laura, hesitating a moment before a twinge in her pussy told her the answer. 'Sure!'
'Get into position,' said Rose, shuffling over to her nightstand and producing the promised leg razor from a drawer.
Laura lay on her back and spread her legs. Rose lay down alongside her, asking, 'Shall we go straight for it?'
'Sure,' said Laura. 'I'm ready.'
Rose turned on the razor and held it lightly against Laura's clit.
'Oh, wow...' Laura remarked.
Rose watched appreciatively as Laura's eyes slid shut and she began to moan and writhe under the new sensations that the razor provided. Ten minutes later, she was screaming again and grinding her weeping pussy against the vibrating object.
'Oh, wow!' Laura said again afterwards.
'Good, huh?' Rose grinned at her, as she turned off the razor and placed it on the nightstand.
'Ooh, yeah... Not better than your finger or your mouth, baby, but good in its own way. Y'know, I normally wax, but I gotta get me one of those!'
'Or you could get something that's actually designed for the purpose. Maybe I'll take you out on a little shopping trip tomorrow.'
'That'd be nice,' said Laura. 'We haven't been out since I got here, and it's been great, but... it'd be nice to go on an actual date, wouldn't it?'
'Yeah,' said Rose, smiling at her. 'It really would.'
'And in the meantime, baby, it's your turn again. And I guess it's my mouth's turn too, huh?'
'Mmm, I guess it is.'
Rose got onto her back, and Laura spent a minute or so kissing and caressing her neck and her nipples before sliding down between her legs. Rose moaned and writhed as Laura kissed her clit, and within minutes she was caught up in the throes of another noisy orgasm.
Conchita was at home the following afternoon, and Josh was with her. As they made their way up to Conchita's bedroom, they could hear talking and laughing coming from behind Rose's closed door, and it occurred to Josh that the two women beyond would likely have some more highly titillating sex while he was there. He had forgotten about them, however, by the time he found himself lying back on Conchita's bed with her kneeling between his legs, completely naked and massaging lube into his fully erect penis.
'I'm loving it so far,' Josh grinned at her as she withdrew her hands.
'That wasn't one of the techniques I learned,' said Conchita, looking around for somewhere to wipe the excess lube from her palms. In the end, she dried her hands on the quilt cover, reasoning that all the bedclothes would have to be washed after this anyway.
'Dare I ask where you learned them?' Josh asked playfully.
'YouTube.'
'Wow, really – that's allowed on there?'
'Well, they used a banana.'
'It wasn't Lucie and Laura, was it?'
'No jokes, and no thinking about other girls,' Conchita ordered, and Josh gasped as she squeezed his cock between the palms of both hands. 'Okay, this one's called the fire starter.'
'You already started the fire, baby,' Josh purred, watching her jiggling breasts as she moved her hands back and forth in alternate directions, rolling his rigid shaft between them as if starting a fire with a stick.
'Good?' Conchita asked throatily.
'Yeah, baby.'
'How do you like the lube?'
'I like the lube just great.'
'Me too. It makes your cock all nice and shiny.'
'You like that, huh?' said Josh, laughing.
'I always like how your hard-on looks, baby,' said Conchita. 'Tell me when you're about to come.'
She brought her rapidly moving hands up to his glans, and Josh cried out in ecstasy. Forty-five seconds later, he growled deep in his throat and announced, 'I'm about to come, babe.'
Conchita at once withdrew her hands. Josh exhaled heavily, and they exchanged a smile.
'I've heard about edging too,' he said.
'Did you ever try it?' asked Conchita.
'Not exactly. I tried to try, but when it came to the crucial moment, I stopped trying.'
'Why doesn't that surprise me? You have to behave yourself this time, though, baby.'
'I place myself entirely in your hands,' said Josh. 'Come over here and kiss me.'
Conchita smiled at him and crawled onto his abdomen, taking care not to touch his cock with any part of herself while they kissed and he brushed her hair away from where it had fallen over her left eye. At length, she pulled out of the kiss and said, 'Shall we resume?'
'Yes please,' said Josh.
Conchita got herself back into her original position and put both hands on his penis again, this time holding it in two fists along the length of the shaft and the head.
'Okay, so this one's called the pepper pot,' Conchita announced, and she began twisting both hands inwards as though she were grinding pepper.
'Oh God, baby, that's good too,' Josh breathed, closing his eyes in ecstasy.
'Tell me again when you're about to come.'
'Do I have to?'
'Yes!'
'It won't be long, babe. You have magic hands.'
'I love seeing that look on your face,' said Conchita. 'It makes me feel sexy.'
'You can feel sexy all the time, baby,' said Josh, opening his eyes to look at her.
'I feel extra sexy when I'm making your face look like that.'
'You look extra sexy when you're making my dick feel like this. Oh, wow, it's time...'
'Already?' said Conchita, looking put out as she took her hands away.
'I'm sorry, babe,' Josh panted. 'You're just too good at this.'
'Try thinking of something gross.'
Josh did try, and failed miserably, for he at once he found himself thinking of Rose and Laura two rooms away. He quickly banished the image from his mind and said, 'How can I think of anything gross when I'm looking at you? I'd like to put my hands on you, baby.'
'I'd like that too,' said Conchita, and she brought herself forward to straddle his torso.
'Ooh, you're pretty horny yourself, aren't you?' said Josh, as he felt her pussy hot and wet against his chest.
'Mmm.' Conchita closed her eyes as he ran his hands over her thighs, her buttocks and her abdomen, then gently massaged both breasts. 'What are you going to do for me after, baby?'
'I'm not sure yet. I feel like I need to think of something a little bit different. Too bad our toys are packed away in a box somewhere, huh?'
'Well... not all of them, sweetie.'
'Oh yeah,' said Josh, grinning as he remembered. 'We only used that one together right after I gave it to you, didn't we? Have you used it much without me?'
'Yeah, I have,' said Conchita, and he smiled as she secreted a fresh dribble of love honey onto his sternum. 'That's a good idea, baby.'
'We'll do that after you finish me, then, huh?'
'Yeah, that's exactly what we'll do.'
They exchanged a smile, then she brushed her hair from her face as she climbed off him and reached for the bottle of lube. She squirted a little into her right palm, then grabbed his cock and moved her hand up and down, saying, 'I'll finish you the usual way, shall I?'
'Ooh, yeah – you know exactly how I like it, baby.'
Conchita continued to pump away at his cock, tightening her fist each time it approached the head. She noticed to her satisfaction that his vocalisations were louder than usual, and he positively roared through his ejaculation. The semen spurted first onto his abdomen, then his pecs and neck, then clean over his shoulder, then back down onto his pecs and abdomen again.
When he had finished, Conchita stayed where she was to watch his balls twitch, as they always did after an orgasm. To her delight, they twitched twice this time, in quick succession. She giggled joyfully, then collapsed into his outstretched arms.
'I love you,' said Josh, and kissed the top of her head.
'I love you too, baby,' she said. 'And I love making you feel good.'
'I love making you feel good,' said Josh. 'Where do you keep that vibrator?'
Smiling in anticipation, Conchita climbed off him and opened a drawer in her nightstand, from which she produced a pale pink silicone heart that was roughly the size of a quail's egg.
'I'll just put a battery in it,' she said.
The heart had a pouch on one side of it that contained a bullet vibrator; Conchita removed this, opened it up, slipped a battery (also from the nightstand drawer) into it, snapped it closed and slid it back into the heart. She then passed the whole concoction to Josh.
'This way around, right?' he said, showing her the side of the heart that did not hold the bullet, the surface of which was covered with little raised dots.
'Yes please, baby,' said Conchita, lying back and spreading her legs.
'Ready?'
'Mmm, you've made me so wet, I'm more than ready.'
Josh flicked the switch on the bullet, then held the vibrating heart gently against Conchita's clitoris with his right hand. He slipped his left arm underneath her shoulders, and kissed her lips and nose and forehead as she sighed appreciatively through her mounting pleasure.
'Does that feel good, baby?' Josh murmured in her ear.
'Fuck yeah, baby,' Conchita breathed.
'Tell me how good it feels.'
'It feels like there's nothing else in the world right now except you, that vibrator and my pussy.'
Josh smiled. 'What else matters, huh?'
'Oh, God, absolutely fucking nothing...'
She moaned and rocked her clitoris against the vibrator, listening to several flattering comments about herself and her pussy, reporting often on her arousal level and Josh's part in it, until finally she announced shrilly, 'I'm gonna come!'
Conchita squealed her way through her orgasm, scrunching the quilt cover under her fingers and toes, not caring a bit about being overheard.
'Ooooh, baby,' she said, when she had quite finished, reaching up to touch Josh's cheek. 'That was incredible. What a great gift idea!'
'So I see,' said Josh, tracing the outline of her lips with two fingers. 'This smile says it all.'
They kissed, then Conchita rolled over and produced a box of wet wipes from her nightstand; according to the packaging, these were made and sold specifically for the purpose of cleaning sex toys. Josh handed her the silicone heart and she wiped it down. He watched her for a few seconds, beginning to look pensive.
'Babe,' he said, 'how long since I gave you that vibrator?'
'It was Valentine's Day, sweetie – you can work it out,' said Conchita, meticulously using her thumbnail to push the wet wipe between all the tiny dots on the heart.
'So,' said Josh, 'I guess it's coming up on a month, huh?'
'Must be.'
'And... do you remember what you said when I gave it to you?'
'Um... thank you?'
'Well, yeah. I mean after that.'
She stopped wiping the toy for a moment to grin at him. 'I'm gonna come?'
He grinned back, but sounded serious when he said, 'I mean before that.'
'Something happened before that?'
'Yes,' said Josh. 'Honey, you said you'd probably only be able to use it once or twice more before you got your period.'
Conchita was silent for a moment, then her eyes widened and she said, 'Oh!'
Rose and Laura had reached the stage in their relationship where they were emotionally ready to spoon and, after the talk that Josh and Conchita had heard the sounds of, they had found an effective way of simultaneously pleasuring each other in this position. Laura, as the big spoon, had her right arm draped over Rose's hip and was stroking her clitoris with one finger; her left arm, bent at the elbow, served as a pillow for Rose's head while the hand could reach to play with her nipples. Rose, meanwhile, was stroking whatever parts of Laura she could reach with her right hand while her left arm was twisted underneath her, not uncomfortably, keeping a pair of tiny vibrating silicone rabbit ears in place on either side of Laura's clitoris. The rabbit that the ears belonged to was fused by its lower body to a ring, also made of silicone, and Rose was wearing this on her middle finger.
When Rose reached orgasm, she didn't bother stifling her cries; she and Laura had clearly heard Josh and then Conchita climaxing some minutes earlier, and though this was nowhere near the forefront of Rose's mind either just before or during her orgasm, it was probably a factor in her lack of restraint.
As her orgasm and her screams subsided, she became aware that Laura was also crying out in ecstasy. While she was coming, Laura kept her finger on Rose's clitoris; this was no distraction, as it was just what she'd do to herself through a solo orgasm. Once she had recovered, she withdrew her hand and wrapped her right arm around Rose's shoulders.
'So this works pretty well, huh?' said Rose, giggling.
'Mmm, yeah,' said Laura.
'I need to move my arm.'
'Oh... sorry.'
Laura let go of Rose completely and lay on her back, still basking in the afterglow of her orgasm. Rose sat up, shook out her left arm and then slipped the silicone rabbit off her finger.
'Happy with your new toy?' she asked.
'Very,' said Laura.
'I guess we'd better clean it,' said Rose and, like her sister, she was able to produce a pack of sex toy wipes; the difference was that these ones were still inside the drug store bag in which they had been conveyed.
'Thanks again for taking all that stuff up to the register, Rosy,' said Laura, giggling as Rose began to clean up the little rabbit. 'I'd have been so embarrassed!'
'There's nothing to be embarrassed about,' said Rose.
'You wouldn't show it to your parents, though, right?'
'No, but fortunately my parents don't work at the drug store.'
'What do you think I should call her?'
'Who?'
'My rabbit,' said Laura.
'Oh.' Rose held the rabbit up in front of her and looked pensively into the eye shapes outlined in the bright pink silicone. 'If it were mine, I'd name it after one of the rabbits in Watership Down.'
'I haven't read that,' said Laura.
'It is unbelievably male-dominated,' said Rose, 'some say chauvinistic, but I like it anyway.'
'So which rabbit would you name her after?'
'Well, if it's a girl...'
'Of course it's a girl!' tittered Laura.
'Clover,' Rose said decidedly, then she put the rabbit down on her nightstand and abruptly changed the subject. 'I want some coffee. Shall I bring you one?'
'Ooh, yes please,' Laura said eagerly.
'Well, it's only instant,' said Rose. 'I'll be back in a few minutes, querida,' and she put on Laura's T-shirt, then got to her feet.
Josh was cooking on the hob with only his jeans on when Rose wandered half-dressed into the kitchen. Their eyes met for a moment, then Rose scurried over to the kettle and Josh looked down into his pan of half-made tagine.
'Hey,' said Josh.
'Hi,' said Rose, barely audible over the noise she was making filling the kettle and that of the washing machine in the utility room, which was drying Conchita's lube- and jizz-soaked sheets.
'Do you guys want some vegetable tagine?' asked Josh. 'It'll be ready in a couple of hours.'
'Oh... no thanks, said Rose. 'Look, thanks for getting Adrien out of here – I appreciate that.'
'No problem,' said Josh. 'I think Merida appreciates it too, and Adrien's very happy with Freya.'
Rose nodded, then stood in awkward silence while her kettle boiled. Finally, the bubbling water reached its crescendo and the appliance turned itself off. As Rose picked it up and began pouring the water, she said conversationally, 'So where's this restaurant of yours?'
'Long Beach,' said Josh.
'Oh, wow,' said Rose, 'it's really nice down there.'
'Sure is,' said Josh. 'I was wondering about staying closer to Manhattan, but then this place became available and... well, you know. Do you need any help?' he added, watching as Rose started to drag a kitchen chair towards one of the high cupboards.
'Uh... yeah, thanks,' she said, looking down at the loose-fitting hem of Laura's T-shirt, and then at the chair she had intended to stand on. 'Would you please get down the sugar for me?'
'No problem.'
Josh smiled amiably at her as he went over to the cupboard, where he reached the sugar with no trouble and then handed it to Rose. It was at this point that the front door clicked open and, seconds later, Eduardo and Kylie entered the kitchen complete with full holdalls. They all stood in surprised silence for some seconds, then Kylie said smilingly, 'Oh, Rosy, you're home – how nice!'
'You're back early!' Rose snapped in response.
'Yeah, we are,' Eduardo said apologetically. He and Kylie both dumped their bags on the floor, then he looked at Josh and added, 'Hi, Josh.'
'Hi,' said Josh, returning to his pan. A moment later, he looked back at Rose in Laura's T-shirt, then down at his own bare torso and said, 'Oh, this isn't what it looks like!'
'Y'know, Josh,' said Kylie, 'it sort of looks like, on top of everything else, you've stolen that T-shirt.'
Rose huffed, sugared her coffee, picked up both mugs and two spoons and stalked from the room.
'Oops,' said Kylie, when she heard Rose's bedroom door slamming upstairs. 'And I was so careful not to say whose T-shirt!'
'You're sure good at recognising nondescript T-shirts, Kylie,' Josh remarked.
'Not normally,' said Kylie, 'but I'm pretty sure I've seen that one on a certain YouTube channel a few times. Hey, Josh, I'm not... barking up the wrong tree here, am I?'
'Hey now,' said Josh, 'if Rose hasn't told you, I'm not going to.'
'Good on you, man,' said Eduardo. 'But you're not barking up the wrong tree, Ky – I know we were right. Dads know who's been sleeping with their daughters, especially when whoever it is films a YouTube video right after.'
'Are you sure about that, sweetie?' said Kylie. 'Roland doesn't seem to suspect a thing.'
'Maybe he's just not mentioning it,' said Eduardo. 'I mean, did you mention it to him?'
'I guess not really,' said Kylie, looking at Josh for his reaction, but he was concentrating hard on his tagine. 'I asked him what he made of the video, and he said it didn't tell him anything he didn't know because Lucie'd already come home and told him she'd gotten together with Max. Those two were pretty keen to tell the world, weren't they? I wonder why Rosy's been so quiet about it all.'
'There doesn't have to be any real reason for that,' said Eduardo. 'It's not like she's been deliberately keeping secrets from us for years – it's been two months that we haven't even seen her in. I guess we're about to find out for sure, anyway, but I wish we hadn't trapped her into it like this.'
'It's not our fault, Eduardo,' said Kylie. 'She didn't even tell us she'd be here.'
'Of course it's not our fault,' said Eduardo, 'but it's still too bad.'
'You guys are such cool parents,' said Josh.
'Thank you, Josh,' said Kylie.
'I'm making dinner,' Josh went on. 'Why don't I make enough for all six of us? Rose already politely declined, but I think things are different now, aren't they?'
'I think so,' said Eduardo. 'She'll be down here soon enough with... whoever she has up there.'
'You don't know for sure she has anyone up there,' Josh said facetiously.
'Yes we do – you said six, not five!' Kylie said triumphantly, as the sound of the front door opening became audible. 'Now, who the hell is that?'
'It'll be Chita; she went out for a few minutes,' said Josh, turning down the heat on his pan, then he headed for the hallway. 'I'll go warn her you're here.'
Kylie gave Eduardo a wry smile and said, 'Remember when our girls used to be happy to see us?'
Meanwhile, out in the hallway, Conchita was closing the front door with one hand and holding a drug store bag in the other.
'Hey, baby,' said Josh, giving her a hug. 'Your parents came back unexpectedly.'
'Oh shit,' Conchita said mildly, looking down at her bag.
Josh laughed. 'I'm not used to hearing bad language from you outside of the bedroom.'
'Yeah, me neither. But I could do this right now – I've been saving it all the way from the store!'
'You're not going to, though, right? I suggest you go to the bathroom, hide that in your room and, if you'd be so kind, bring me my shirt so we can all have dinner. It'll wait, okay?'
'I guess it'll have to,' said Conchita. 'But... won't you worry?'
'Not worry, no,' said Josh. 'Not even a little. Will you?'
'Worry, no. Think about it, yes.'
'Yeah, well, so will I do that. I mean, I guess you could do it now, but...'
'No,' said Conchita. 'You're right – not while my parents are there and you're making dinner for all of us. But I do have to do something with this pee I've been saving!'
'Okay,' Josh laughed, stepping aside as she sprinted up the stairs. He then returned to the kitchen and resumed his culinary activities, saying to Eduardo and Kylie, 'She just went to the bathroom.'
Eduardo and Kylie took their bags upstairs, then returned to the kitchen and helped themselves to drinks. Minutes later, Conchita came into the room, threw Josh's T-shirt at him and then flung an arm around each of her parents' necks, lowering her left elbow for Kylie and raising her right for Eduardo.
'Hi! How was your trip?' she said before stepping away from them. 'How's... what's his name?'
'He died,' said Eduardo.
'Oh!' said Conchita, looking stricken. 'I'm so sorry!'
'Don't be sorry on my account, seashell,' said Eduardo. 'I barely knew him.'
After this, some minutes passed, during which time Josh put on his T-shirt and Conchita set six places around the kitchen table. She was just finishing this when Rose and Laura arrived, and Rose took their coffee mugs and spoons to the sink.
'Laura,' said Josh, 'do you have any food allergies?'
Laura looked taken aback for a moment. Then she said, 'No, I can eat anything.'
'Hi Mom, hi Dad,' said Rose, going to give each of her parents a hug in turn. 'I'm glad you're home early – I thought I was only going to get to see you at the weekend.'
'I'm really happy to find you here, sweetheart,' said Kylie, giving her a squeeze.
'Me too, florita,' said Eduardo, kissing her on the forehead. Then he looked up and said, 'Hi, Laura.'
'Hey,' Laura smiled bashfully.
'Why are you home early?' Rose asked her parents.
'The guy died,' said Kylie.
'Oh,' said Rose. 'He was old, right?'
'Yeah,' said Eduardo. 'He wanted to fix some fight he had with my dad decades ago... I guess he invited us for a week because he figured I'd be as difficult as Dad was, but I'm not, so he died happy after three days. But never mind that now, huh? Laura, how long will you be staying with us?'
'I'm leaving first thing Saturday morning,' said Laura. 'If... that's all right with you.'
'Of course it's all right with us, sweetie,' Kylie smiled at her. 'You're more than welcome.'
