One Boy's Journey Chapter 60

Written by Brianna Demonet

Lexi and I started doing our makeup. We had over an hour before the limo picked us up. I still had no idea how many girls were going to be there.

Lexi was wearing a Black Latex ultra-short mini skirt and a matching tight tube top. She had 6-inch platform stiletto heels with straps that tied up her legs around her calves.

I did my makeup with dark purple smokey eyes and ombre purple lips. Lexi adds gold glitter just above my eyelid crease. It looked amazing. My purple hair took a little bit to get used to but it looked great with my dress and heels. I added my Amethyst Color contact lens.

I noticed both Lexi and I were showing a lot of cleavage.

No offense Lexi, but did you get your boobs done? I felt so stupid asking it because I didn't notice in the dark when we were in bed.

Yes, I did! I'm surprised you didn't notice earlier.

Me too but I do now! They look great!

Thank you! Emma had her done too. We are all D-cup girls now just like you!

I smiled and hugged her.

You're spending the night tonight, right? Lexi asked.

If you can spare some room, sure. I said.

There's always room in my bed for you Ree! Lexi smiled.

I love you too Lexi. I said.

I put on my new jewelry. Lexi had similar jewelry.

When the limo picked us up, it was filled with all our friends. Almost our entire high school cheer squad. Shelly was with us too! We were all dressed in very provocative fashions.

We were drinking Champagne and laughing the entire way to the restaurant. We ate at Caesars Palace and walked through the mall for a little bit after dinner.

We were turning heads everywhere. We hit three different nightclubs that night. I paid for bottle service at the Aria Hotel for us. Men kept hitting on us all night. We hardly paid for a drink.

I was almost 2 in the morning when Lexi and I got back to Aunt V's house. We went upstairs giggling softly. We both had a good buzz going.

I started the shower and carefully peeled off my dress. Lexi had to help me. I helped her.

We showered together, and it felt like high school all over again. We made love in the shower. We kissed, licked, and massaged each other for almost half an hour. We washed each other's hair and bodies.

The shower floor turned purple when we washed my hair. Lexi noticed my wrap-around Rose and tribal vine Tramp stamp.

This is very sexy! I never thought you'd get inked!

Well, I guess I am that kind of girl. I noticed you have a few also. I said.

Lexi actually had several Tribal red, pink, and black tramp stamps with a red horn Heart in the center. She had a Flour De Le tattoo under the nape of her hair and a pretty floral wrap around her right ankle. She had five stars on each hip bone with dermals in the center.

Lexi was so sexy. It drove me crazy. We made love and passed out in each other's arms.

The next morning, I was in the shower, and Lexi walked in. She was so inviting I couldn't help myself. We couldn't keep our hands off each other. It was a beautiful way to wake up.

I got dressed before breakfast and snuck home before Aunt V woke up. I'm certain she and Taylor heard us. But I wasn't worried. I kept all of Aunt V's secrets.

I was showering a second time in my room to cover my walk of shame. I wrapped myself in a towel. When I exited my bathroom my mom was sitting on my bed.

Have a good time last night?

I had a great time, thank you!

How's Lexi? She asked with a sly grin!

She fine! I said

You two got in late! Mom said.

Around 2 am I believe!

So .. are you going to tell me about last night?

What's to tell? Most of the cheer squad and I went out last night clubbing! We had a blast!

Who drove?

We had a limo!

Where did you stay?

At Lexi's! I didn't want to wake you up!

Where did you sleep?

I knew it! Mom was leading to this the whole time. Truth is she already knew the answer. I'm almost 25 and single. Nothing I did was illegal. So why not be honest.

In my old room!

With Lexi? Mom asked

Yes! Is there a problem?

No, I just wanted to see if you'd be honest with me!

Why would I lie to you? I'm on my own now! I didn't break any laws!

Just be careful honey! I'm still your mother and I still worry!

I'm fine mom, Lexi is fine.

What about John?

I love him dearly, Mom. I miss him all the time. But sometimes a girl needs a distraction. Lexi and I share an extremely close relationship. Sex doesn't get in the way. Besides were both single!

Okay sweetheart, just please be careful. The party starts at 2 o'clock you should probably take a nap.

What should I wear? I asked.

It's casual, just wear shorts and a tank top. You might bring a swimsuit, it's supposed to be warm today.

I started thinking about what I should wear, I didn't have much here. I had a really cute pink denim mini-skirt and a white spandex halter top. I still have my 4-inch wedge sandals too. I decided to talk to Aunt V first; after all, it was her party.

I called Aunt V.

Tell you what, Ree, come on over, and we'll discuss it! Aunt V said.

I put on the outfit I intended to wear and went to Aunt V's house. I had on my French-cut pink bikini under my clothes. The top used to cover my breasts completely when I was a C-cup, but not anymore.

Somehow I managed to get out of the house without Mom or Dad seeing my tattoos.

When I got to Aunt V's she was admiring them. Come with me, honey! She said firmly.

I followed her to her bedroom, she locked the door.

Strip! She said.

Ohh!!! My goodness! You have blossomed beyond my imagination! Look at you!

When did you get all the jewelry and ink? Amber in San Francisco did my piercings, and a tattoo artist, Becky knows, Linda Lace, did my ink. Why? Does it look bad?

No honey! It's beautiful! Has your parents seen it?

No, I never mentioned it! I said. Should I cover it?

Heavens No! It's completely you! I love it. Besides, Lexi has plenty of ink, so do Taylor and I. Don't hide it!

Will my bikini be okay?

No! The top was too small! I have plenty of bikinis you can use.

How many piercings do you have? I

Not including ear and my nose stud, 19! I said.

19! Where! I count 14.

I dropped my bikini bottom and stuck out my tongue.

Goodness, gracious Ree! You went all out!

After John I broke up I was feeling a little depressed and decided to do something for myself that I always wanted to do!

Well, I say you sure did! You could use some stars like Lexi has on those hip dermals!

It's on my list! I said right after I got back home.

My answer is to wear this! It's super cute! Here try it on!

But it's a thong? I said. My parents!

Ree you have a beautiful body and a very nice ass! It would be a shame to hide it! Besides your mother will be wearing a bikini too! Trust me! Taylor and I work our asses off maintaining our bodies. We're wearing thong bikinis too!

My Tattoos?

You know how I feel about secrets! Besides this isn't a secret you can hide forever.

Aunt V was right again! As always.

Besides it's my party! So let's party! Aunt V said.

Aunt V gave me her white Dolce&Gabbana thong bikini. I tried it on. It conformed to my curves perfectly. As skimpy as the top was, I still had some support for my breasts. My ass and body decor was on full display! My ass was very noticeable when strapped on my sandals.

I wish John was here. I had Aunt V take a couple of pictures. I would send them to him later.

I put my clothes on and went home to take a nap. Mom caught me on the stairs.

Just a minute young lady!

Oh shit! She saw the ink!

Let me look at you!

You got a tattoo?

A couple, actually, they all connected now. I said.

What are those?

Dermal piercings! I had my nipples done too!

Anything else?

Well, yes now that you asked, but I'm not going to show you in the living room!

Let's go! Mom said firmly.

I could tell she was in shock. She may have been upset because I didn't tell her or ask her. I'm almost 25, it's not like I'm 13 anymore. Besides Cathy has exactly the same piercings. Plus, Cathy has some great ink, too!

Mom locked my bedroom door.

Alright, let's see it! Mom said.

I stripped myself naked for the second time today.

Ree!!! Oh, my stars!!!!

I turned around slowly and let her take it all in.

When? Why? Who? Mom asked in disbelief.

After John and I broke up. Because I wanted them. Amber at Becky's salon did the piercings. A world-renowned Tattoo artist named Linda Lace did my ink.

I have to admit it. I'm shocked, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised. You always loved your body piercings. The tattoo is a surprise and a little trampy for my taste, but it's a beautiful tattoo.

It's a one-off! Linda designed it just for me. No one on the planet has this specific design. I said proudly.

I can't say I'm not totally surprised. Just in shock, Mom said, calming down.

Are you wearing a thong bikini too? Mom asked

Hell yes! Aunt V loaned it to me! It's Dolce&Gabbana! You're wearing the one Aunt V bought you,, aren't you?

I guess I have to now! I can't have my gorgeous daughter upstaging me! Can I?

No, you can't, I said! Besides, you look like you're my age!

Your right! I still look pretty good! Mom said

You're a bombshell! I said.

So are you! Mom said. You know Dan's going to flip! Right?

That's alright! I said. We aren't that far from home!

We giggled.

Mom left, and I stripped off my nail polish from the night before. I gave myself three enemas and took a much-needed nap.

When I woke up I started getting ready. I showered again and washed my hair to ensure my hair color was back to my normal copper red. I sprayed my body with 100 SPF sunscreen and waited for it to dry.

I put on the white bikini, it had gold hoops in front of my hips and between my breasts. It was a super sexy bikini. My foundation makeup is SPF 25. I wore my newscaster false eyelashes and added a little extra black eyeliner. Aunt V gave her Prada white frames sunglasses to match the bikini.

I did my eyeshadow conservatively with brownish red. I added a slight brownish-red blush to accent my multi-shaded foundation. I did my lips in the same brownish red, all similar to how I wear my makeup in court.

I did my hair in a high ponytail and added my white tennis sun visor. The last thing I did was paint my nails in the same brownish-red color. With ten minutes to spare they were dry. I put on my wedge sandals and packed my beach bag, and I was done.

When I got downstairs Mom and Dad were waiting for me. Mom was in just a bikini with a wrap. I raced upstairs before they saw me and took off my top and skirt. I came back down in my bikini and my white sheer wrap.

Dad was studying my appearance with a critical eye. I started getting that under-the-microscope feeling.

Look at you! You truly are all grown up! Dad said.

So I look okay Daddy! I started playing the cutesy card as I spun around ballet style.

Yes, Ree! You're very beautiful, just like your mother! He smiled approvingly.

Dad didn't say another word. He didn't even mention anything about my tattoos or my waist chain. I wore my Stanford class ring and my Mustang pendant.

Come on ladies! Dad said! It's time to party! Dad said with pride. Dad put his arms around us and we walked to Aunt V's place.

Emma and Linda were already there, and Lexi was upstairs getting ready with Taylor. I hugged and kissed Emma and Linda. Aunt V was in a black bikini, the same as mine, with a wrap.

A bunch of neighbors I barely knew showed up along with our friends from Sunday brunch at the country club. Anita and her mother Maria were there. Martina and Jose were there as guests. Aunt V hired a catering company for the party.

Vicki from the diner came. I hardly recognized her out of her uniform. She was a very pretty woman. Julius showed up with Shelly. They were engaged to be married. I was so happy for them.

Inside, I was jealous, but Shelly was like my big sister, and Julius was a friend. I couldn't be mad at them. After all, they broke up in college and got back together years later; they were destined to be together!

Emma, Lexi, and I spent much of our time mingling with the guests together. A few neighborhood boys showed up.

Matt Weller was a handsome boy, he looked a little bit like Matthew Mcchanay. He always ignored me when I first moved in. Once I started dating John and became a cheerleader he wanted to talk to me. By that time it was too late.

Matt and his friends Lucas and Blaine started hitting on the three of us. Emma had them eating out of her hand. Matt was practically my servant getting me drinks and rubbing my back with sunscreen.

Blaine was all over Emma. Lexi was almost teasing Lucas.

When the food was served the boys (we couldn't consider them men) waited on us constantly.

I went up to Lexi's room to use the bathroom and get a little privacy. Matt followed me.

As I closed the door to Lexi's bathroom he put his foot in the door.

So want some company? Matt asked flirtatiously.

No, actually, I don't! Excuse me, please! I was a little annoyed.

Ohh! I think you could use some.

No, I don't! Back off Matt! I'm not joking around!!

You've been teasing me all afternoon! Just one kiss! He said

No, Matt! Please don't! Don't try it!

Matt pushed the door open. I fell on the floor, bumping my head. Flashbacks from my attack came racing through my mind. I screamed No!

You are such a tease! He said.

I kicked him in the crotch. He slumped over.

My Dad was in the kitchen and heard me. He came rushing in.

What's going on?

Nothing sir! Matt was clutching his crotch.

What happened Ree?

I was trying to use the bathroom and he wouldn't let me close the door. Then he pushed the door open and knocked me down. Then I kicked him in the crotch!

Alright young man! Time for you to leave! And take your friends with you!

It's her fault! I didn't do anything!

Except for using the bathroom door as a weapon! The law considers that assault with a deadly weapon! I'm a retired cop! Should I call the cops? You can ask them yourself!

No sir, sorry sir!

Don't apologize to me!

Sorry, Ree! I'm really sorry!

Go on Matt! Just go!

Matt scrambled downstairs and he and his friends left.

Thank you, Daddy! I hugged him tightly! I love you I said.

That's my job, kiddo! He kissed my forehead.

I kissed his cheek.

I went back to the party and my friends and I enjoyed the rest of the evening. I didn't tell anyone until much later. Thankfully nothing came of it.

I slept in my room that night, thankfully no flashbacks. I am a much stronger person now. I knew I could handle myself. I also knew I was never really alone anymore.

I was back at work on Monday morning. By the time the mail came around in the late morning before lunch, I got an envelope with a return address from the FBI at Quantico, Virginia.

It was an invitation to attend John's graduation. I immediately put in for the week off! The graduation was in 12 weeks.

12 weeks went by fast. I booked a first-class round trip to Washington, DC. I was excited, I'd never been to DC before. I tried to pack light, but I was never very successful with it.

All the invited guests stayed at the same hotel. They had shuttles taking us to and from the airport and to Quantico. I arrived two days early. I called John and we made dinner reservations together. We had dinner at my hotel.

He looked great! He was very proud of himself. I was proud of him too. He told me how tough the training was and how he and Blake helped the other candidates. He said only six washed out. It was the first time in almost four years they graduated a class this big.

I told him how much I missed him. He said he missed me and his family. He was anxious to see his parents and children. I told him he was in for a shock. His kids were getting bigger by the day.

So, you know where you're going to be assigned? I asked.

He said he didn't know yet. But he requested San Francisco, Sacramento, Fresno, Las Vegas, and Reno.

Blake and I are number one and two in our class. He said.

Which one are you? I asked

I don't know yet? Said John. The class rank changes almost daily.

I kissed him goodbye and he went back to Quantico for the night.

The next day, I took a bus to the Mall and walked through the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, and the Jefferson Memorial. I took a lot of pictures.

I walked around the reflection pool. I kept thinking about Captain America running past the Falcon, saying on your left! It made me smile.

That very evening, I went to my room, and my room phone message light was flashing. I checked messages and it was Yon calling to let me know they checked in.

I went to their room and was tackled by three kids. Caleb looked happy for a change. Ria and Alexia were very excited. Jii and Yon were very proud of their son.

John came over and I bought dinner. Jii was insisting he pay!

Dad forget about arguing with her! Once Ree makes up her mind that's it! John said smiling.

Fine! Tomorrow I pay! Said Jii.

Deal! I said. I bowed my head to him maintaining eye contact. He smiled back.

The next day was graduation. John was number one by a single point. Blake was number two. Both of them set several training records while they were there. Blake set swimming records and a record for push-ups. John set three, for running, pullups, and driving! Both scored high marksman on the gun range, but a third agent, a former Navy seal, set a new marksman high score.

When they gave out assignments I started getting worried a lot of agents were getting sent to Washington State or places like Michigan or Minnesota.

Blake got Las Vegas. When John got his assignment, my palms were sweating.

I got it, Ree! I got it! John said

Where? I asked.

San Francisco!

I couldn't believe it! I squealed like a little girl. I was extremely happy!

Come on! Let's celebrate! Said Jii!

Jii took us to Capitol Grille for dinner. The dinner was amazing. The Korean beef exceeded Jii's. Needless to say, we had a great meal and a great time.

We ordered dessert, and John went to the bathroom, or so I thought. John came up behind me in my seat and kneeled down and looked up at me. My mind was racing!

Rianna Marie Stevens. I've been in love with you for half of my life! Except for my family, there's no one I love more. You made me a better person. You have always been there when my family and I needed you. You are the love of my life. I cannot live without you for another day.

Will you marry me?

My mouth was wide open, I was in shock!

He opened the small box. It was a one-karat princess-cut diamond ring set in yellow gold.

I was speechless! He slid the ring on my finger. It fits perfectly. I fanned out my hand looking at it.

Yon was FaceTiming my Mom and Dad with Aunt V and Taylor. All watching me.

Yes! Yes! I will marry you!

John stood me up and kissed me in the middle of the restaurant! Everyone cheered and clapped. John's family was very happy. His kids hugged me. Caleb hugged my legs tightly.

Are you going to be my new mommy? He asked with a curious look.

Yes, Caleb, I'm going to be your new mommy! Your sisters too!

Yay!!! The girls said.

John's sisters hugged me. Finally, you are our sister!

Jii hugged me and kissed my forehead. Yon hugged me and kissed my cheek. We hugged together.

Welcome to the family Ree! Yon said.

Thanks, Mom, thanks, Dad! They both smiled at me.

We took John back to Quantico for the night. The next morning we picked him up together as a family.

We flew back on separate flights. I will be meeting John in about two weeks. I started shopping for a bigger place. I called Carol's husband, Matt, and he started looking for me.

John and I had a lot to do and I was excited as I've been!

We didn't have a date set yet, but when my Mom, Yon, and Aunt V talked to the director of the country club, we were pretty much guaranteed any date we wanted for the reception.

John was still known as a local hero in Vegas; pretty much the southern half of the state knew of John. After his faceoff with the bikers at a truck stop, he became a folk hero on the CB radio.
