Every summer my best friend Heidi and her brother Will spent two weeks with their cousins Julie and Jake. When the two weeks were finished Julie and Jake would come and spend two weeks with Heidi and Will. I always felt a little dread whenever it was time for Heidi to return with Julie. Three can turn into a crowd very easily and every summer the two weeks turned into a contest between Julie and I for Heidi's attention. Then one summer everything changed.
It started out pretty typically. I went to see Heidi and Julie the day after they got back. They were both slim with long blonde hair so light that it was almost white, they were pretty much identical. As usual I had to listen to countless stories about the great things they had done while at Julie's. I was definitely bored and a little angry by the time Heidi giggled and said, "Julie showed me the coolest new thing this summer."
"It's not like the Elevator is it?" I asked suspiciously. The summer before they had introduced me to the Elevator. Basically you take 20 deep breaths and then hold your breath until you pass out. I hadn't been very impressed by it and was ready for them to introduce something just as stupid.
Heidi and Julie laughed at my question and exchanged smiles. "No, it isn't like the Elevator at all. It's much better," Heidi tossed her head at my mention of such a silly game. "But if you want us to show you then you have to promise not to tell anyone."
"And you have to promise to try it once," Julie quickly added. "No chickening out. Lickety Split isn't for babies. You'll have to try and be mature, Lynn."
"Lickety Split?" I asked. It certainly sounded like something for babies and the way that Heidi and Julie cracked up laughing at the name made me doubt how mature a person had to be to play their game. But I was also a little wary. They were laughing like little girls but they also kept sharing knowing looks and smiles. I was worried that they were trying to trick me into doing something that would end up embarassing me. I knew that Julie was a little wild so I was also worried that they were talking about drinking or smoking, maybe even drugs.
"Well, do you promise?" Heidi asked.
"One of you has to do it first," I answered.
"Oh that isn't going to be a problem," Heidi smiled. "We just want to make sure that you aren't going to tell anyone about what we're doing and we want you to promise to do it, too. Believe me, you'll love it."
I promised but I knew that if they were doing anything really bad that I could always just leave. After I promised, Heidi told me to go sit in a chair and Julie went and locked the bedroom door. Then she turned the stereo on, really loud. I sat in the chair and watched as Heidi and Julie started acting out a scene that changed my life forever.
As Julie started walking back to the bed after cranking the stereo up, Heidi rose up on her knees on the bed and took off her t-shirt. She wasn't wearing a bra, her breasts were small and she reached up to cup them and pull at her little pink nipples. "Oooh Julie, this was a great idea. I'm already so hot and wet just thinking about Lynn watching us."
"I know," Julie answered as she knelt on the bed in front of Heidi and pushing Heidi's hands away from her breasts, began fondling them. "I've fantasized about someone watching me play with myself so many times... With someone really watching us doing this, I just know that I am going to cum and cum and cum."
I was shocked of course, really shocked, and I didn't even understand half of what they were saying. I couldn't believe that Heidi was letting Julie touch her breasts like that and the way they talked they planned on doing much more. And my presence was somehow making it better? Turning them on? They were bad, really really bad and by just being there I was participating in some sort of sick, sexual...thing.
