All persons engaged in sexual activity in this story, are over 18 years of age.
This story took place in the 1970s in the United Kingdom when the 'World Wide Web' or Internet as it is known today, was barely an infant and not available to private individuals. As for mobile phones, they were only at an experimental stage. This meant that knowledge of sex was gleaned mostly by chats with 'experienced' friends or looking at adult magazines aka Playboy, Penthouse, Hustler and so on.
Boys and girls were nowhere near as mature or knowledgeable about sex at age 18 compared to many of today's 14- or 15-year-olds, thanks mainly to the multitude of internet 'information' that can now be accessed by anyone that can type 'sex' into a search engine.
All of this is to set the scene for you, to make you aware that in the 1970s, unlike the present, many people at age 18 were considerably naΓ―ve when it came to real sexual encounters.
Obviously, if you have read the previous chapters, you will be more in tune with the characters however, this can probably be read as a stand-alone story.
*******************************************************************
The day after we had taken the various photographs with Sally in my shed, Sue and I were once more clearing up in the kitchen after dinner in the evening. If you have read previous chapters, you will already know that this is our regular chore after dinner, while our parents retire to the living room to watch the evening News on TV. This leaves us alone to chat quietly, and sometimes 'mess about', while we wash, dry, and put away the dishes and utensils.
Still being on half-term break from college, I had been alone in the house most of the day and had taken the opportunity to develop and print the daring photographs that we had taken yesterday. These were now carefully hidden with others in the roof insulation of the loft, where I had my small dark room.
Sue had on her long apron to protect her clothes, but from behind, I could see she was wearing the usual miniskirt, and I was able to admire the sideways movement of her pert bottom, as she moved from side to side, stacking the washed dishes for me to dry. I loved looking at her slim shapely legs and seeing where they sexily disappeared under her skirt mid-thigh. Occasionally, when I am feeling randy, I naughtily slide my hand up her leg and under her skirt to feel her tight bottom over her panties. If she is not expecting it, she sometimes makes a loud an involuntary noise, that in the past has attracted our mom's attention, so I have become more cautious, as we really do not want to be caught.
"I have printed off those photos," I said, drying a plate and noisily stacking it into the overhead cupboard.
"You have? That was quick." she said, sloshing the brush around a saucepan in the hot water.
"Most of them have come out well, just a couple that were blurred."
"Well, as long as the others came out ok...I can't wait to see them," Sue said, enthusiastically.
"What photos are these?" a voice said from behind us.
We both looked around, to see Mom standing in the doorway with a glass in her hand, obviously having heard everything. We had been making too much noise to hear her approach.
For once, Sue was speechless.
"Oh, ummmm, they are just ones I took at the beginning of the week," I said shakily, "experimental, like," I added.
"I see," she said, unconvinced.
"They are not very good, just close ups of odd things, and stuff," I blustered, knowing she would want more detail.
"I'd like to see them too," she said, "to see what you mean by 'stuff'."
"Errr, yes ok," I said, "when we have finished here?"
"Well, don't forget, oh, and I just brought this glass in to be washed," she said, coming further into the kitchen and putting it onto the work surface near Sue. She gave the unusually silent Sue a funny look before going back to the living room.
I picked the glass up to give to Sue and checked that Mom had indeed gone back to the other room.
"Wow, that was a bit close for comfort," I whispered in Sue's ear.
"I didn't know what to say," she whispered back, "glad you thought of something. What if we had been doing something else, she would have caught us, we have to be more careful," she added, sounding a bit shaken.
"Yea, but we weren't, and she didn't," I said, more confident than I felt.
"So, what are you going to show her? I guess not the ones we took yesterday?" she tried to make light of it, and just about grinned.
"No, it's ok, I did do some on Monday and Tuesday before we... you know, so I can show her those, otherwise we would be a bit stuck." I said very quietly.
"I'd better come and show an interest too then, to show that's what we were talking about."
"We are nearly done here, so I'll just nip up and get them." I said and went off up to the loft to collect them.
When I came back down with about eight photos, Sue had already gone into the living room to join our parents.
"Here they are," I said, handing the bunch of 10 x 8 inch photos to Mom.
Sue moved over to look at them with her, while Dad just continued to watch the TV.
"Oh," Mom said, "they are photos of bits of old wooden gates and rusty railings, aren't there any ordinary ones Ben?"
"Well, no, errrrr, I mean, as I said, they are experimental, I was just trying out a few things."
"What do you think Sue?" Mom asked her, fanning some of the photos out.
