There's something nice, really nice, about having the goods on someone. Solid, no questions asked goods. It is especially nice when that someone is your pretty niece.
My young niece Jessica was in dire straits until I stepped in with a $5,000 loan. I'm not proud of what I did, I admit I didn't do it to help her. I did it because I got to see her pretty bare ass. I got to fondle it, spank it, and rub it. I got to take suggestive photos of her. I got to do things no man should do to his niece, and all for the low low price of a $5,000 loan.
Such a bargain!
She promised to pay me back the money, with interest. After all, it was only a loan. Besides, it was money I really couldn't afford to lose. So it was what it was, a loan secured by some tawdry behavior.
Apparently, she didn't get that message. Or maybe I didn't understand the old adage: don't do business with family.
But I am jumping ahead of myself.
In the weeks that followed that wonderful day when I got to play all kinds of games with my beautiful niece Jessica things went on as normal. I went to work, played a little golf, begged my wife for sex...all the usual. But in my spare time I'd look over the photos I secreted away of young Jessica.
My wife never let up about how Jessica and her husband Daryl were losers, and that she was happy we hadn't helped them out of their financial nightmare. Tough love, she said.
Only all of a sudden their car was fixed and the mortgage paid to date.
"I can't believe it," said my wife. "They hit the lottery. They won $5,000. Doesn't it figure? So much for tough love."
I smiled to myself. I know all about THAT lottery, it came in the form of payment from savings bonds from my youth. If my wife Cheryl had found out I had lent the money to Jessica and Daryl I would have been shot, and if she found out about our little deal, the naughty photos and the bare ass spankings, I would have been castrated too.
In the back of my head I justified the actions by saying it was all for the sake of embarrassing the girl, that I didn't get any sexual pleasure from it, and so forth. But the fact that I regularly jacked off looking at the photos burst that bubble of thought. I'd see Jessica from time to time, we'd make small talk, but words about the loan were never spoken. It was almost as if I had a desire to see her fail to repay me so that I could have more of her luscious body.
About a month after the money was exchanged we met at a family outing. After being shunned for months, Jessica and her family were back in the big family fold. When the coast was clear she thanked me for helping her out, and promised she'd keep her end of the bargain. She was working part-time, Daryl was doing odds and ends, and they were back on track. She'd be sending payments as agreed.
The sad part is that I believed her. While only she and I knew about the loan, I knew I had the photos and the memory of spanking her pretty behind. Weeks went by, and we didn't have much interaction, but from time to time I'd take out the photos and pleasure myself with the memory of that wonderful hotel meeting with my niece.
The bottom line, I told myself, was that I knew about the loan, she knew what she had to do to repay it and that was all that mattered. At least until the first interest payment was due. Since I had heard nothing but good things about what Jessica and Daryl had been doing --- apparently they were able to get work and so forth --- I assumed I'd start getting some of my money back as promised.
You know what happens when you assume.
At first I was going to call Jessica before the first payment was to come. Heck, I even thought of telling her to forget about it, and I'd wait for payment as they got back onto their feet. But something told me to hold off calling. When I hadn't heard from her on the scheduled date I began to worry, but the next day Jessica called and said she hadn't forgotten and that only she's been very busy and wondered if we could meet the following Saturday. Sure, why not?
Saturday came, I drove to Philly and we met at Gino's, and I was hit with a shocker. No money. Sorry. There were more bills to pay, a car needed more work, this and that. It would only take a week or two, though.
I explained our deal, and there was no negotiation. She replied she just didn't have the money. I told her to get it, and we made a date to meet the following week. This time, I was prepared for the worst.
That night Cheryl informed me that Daryl had been caught in a DUI trap and had to be bailed out. Now I knew where my loan payment had gone. I was furious.
On my second drive to Philly I wondered why the girl hadn't just told me of Daryl's bout with the law. Heck, I would have understood. At our meeting at the Bucks County Coffee Show at 30th Street Amtrak Station she quietly told me the entire story.
Yes, Daryl had been nabbed at a DUI checkpoint. But it was worse. He had a bag of meth on him. The police not only threw him in the pokey, but impounded the car. Jessica had to rent a junker to get to work, and between bail, the rental and past due bills she didn't have the money to pay me.
