RACHEL327: Hey
SANDYBABY6: Hey, Rach.
RACHEL327: What's up, gf? Did your cousin show up last night?
SANDYBABY6: Yeah, we went to town to pick him up on the 6 o'clock train or something.
RACHEL327: This is Danny, right? The one I met a couple of years ago?
SANDYBABY6: Yeah. He's 18, same as us. His mom is basically dumping him off with us for a couple weeks so she can go to Europe, but he's kind of cool with it.
RACHEL327: He was kind of hunky the last time he was here, wasn't he? For 16, anyway.
SANDYBABY6: I guess. He's my cousin, Rach.
RACHEL327: That doesn't mean you can't notice, just means you can't do anything about it. I'm sure he notices your boobs.
SANDYBABY6: First of all, ick. Second of all, ick. And third, I guess he's okay looking.
RACHEL327: In other words hunky.
SANDYBABY6: Whatever.
RACHEL327: So what did you do?
SANDYBABY6: We were thinking about going into town to see a movie. We'd have invited you to come with. But he was kind of tired from the trip, so Mom ordered in some pizza and Danny and I watched a DVD.
RACHEL327: What a thrill.
SANDYBABY6: This morning, City Boy didn't get his ass out of bed until I'd finished all my chores, and when he finally did, I asked him whether he wanted to hike through Brenner's Woods and have a picnic by the lake. I warned him that hardly anybody knows the woods anymore, or knows there even is a lake, so if he told anybody I'd have to kill him.
RACHEL327: Good.
SANDYBABY6: So we packed a basket lunch, I felt like Little Red Fuckin' Riding Hood as we walked through the woods. I took him on the long trail, and we didn't get to the lake area until about 1. We ate, bullshitted for a while, it was nice. I told him you and I came here to swim sometimes. That we skinny-dipped.
RACHEL327: You didn't! Gawd!
SANDYBABY6: Come on, what's the big deal? We're best friends, he knows we've seen one another naked. So of course he says "I'd have liked to see that!"
RACHEL327: Some cousin!
SANDYBABY6: He didn't mean anything by it. You tell a teenage boy something like that, he's gonna say something like that just by reflex.
RACHEL327: I guess.
SANDYBABY6: But...
RACHEL327: But what?
SANDYBABY6: After a minute or so he said "Does that mean we won't be swimming?"
