Part 1 : A New Chapter Begins
Thu Apr 17, 2008 8:02 am
Welcome everyone, it has been a while and I have gotten a good deal of feed back from my last group of stories. Thanks to everyone who took a moment and let me know where I stood. I feel that I am ready to move forward. My apprehension about telling this next story has been lifted and I am looking forward to sharing it with you all. Enjoy.
The snow was falling gently for February. It was mid afternoon not long after I had gotten off from school that I had loaded up into the car with my mother and we headed to our planned destination. I watched my breath climb skyward as I exhaled into the cold winter wind as we stood outside of the door. My mother pushed the bell and the two of us waited in silences. We had been back in school for a few weeks now and I was longing for a much needed break from a week of studying. It was a Friday afternoon the second weekend of the second month of the year I was thirteen. My brothers were going on a scouting camp out this weekend, which my father was helping to supervise. I had been invited to attend despite the gender of the boy scout troop my brothers belonged to. However, I had declined the invitation because camping out in this weather wasn't my idea of a good time. My mother had different plans for the weekend as well. She was going to visit an old friend who lived a town away and she hadn't seen for some time.
Originally, she had planned on taking Amy and me with her. She didn't want me home alone at 13 all weekend. Her old college friend was a little later in life on starting her family and they only had one child. A boy who was four and nowhere near my age in terms of fun. My mother knew that it would be a long weekend for me without much to do. Thankfully she had spared me from it. Mary had received a last minute phone call on Thursday requesting if I she could spend the weekend with me so that I could avoid going on the trip. My sister wasn't overly thrilled with the idea at such short notice, but when I pleased with her over the phone she caved in. The only condition she wanted me to come to her place to spend the weekend rather than her coming home to our old house. She had a lot she needed to get done around her place that weekend and couldn't be brought away. I asked my mother if it was okay for me to spend the weekend with Mary at her house. She seemed a little reluctant at first, but given her thinning list of options she decide that it would be okay. I went to pack my things and she and Mary had a long talk over the phone, which I wasn't privileged to.
Now I stood outside the door to my sisters house with my bag hanging in my mitten hands. I had only brought a few things as Mary had an extra bedroom that I could use. Mostly I had a few changes of clothes and my game boy. I was really looking forward to this weekend. I hardly got to see my sister since she moved away from home and now we were going to spend a whole weekend together just the tow of us. My mother was still taking Amy with her, she wanted to introduce her to her friend and she would have someone to play with unlike me. So, the arrangements had been made and everything fell into place. I had been to my sister's new house on a number of occasions. She had given me the tour and we visited every two or three weeks for a few hours or Mary would come home for a day. However, this was the first time that I would be spending the night. Little did I know what surprises awaited me.
My mother and I had to wait about another couple of minutes before Mary finally came to greet us. I was expected as I mentioned before, but sometimes it takes a while. My sister opened the door and greeted me with a warm smile. It had been over 3 weeks since I had last seen her. "Welcome do come in you two, I cannot leave you out in the snow all day now can I?" Mary's greeting was warm and inviting and the two of us took her up on the invitation. "Jennifer, you can use the guest bedroom at the end of the downstairs hallway, why don't you go and drop off your bag?" Mary offered. I took her up on her offer and headed down the hallway excitedly. I rounded the corner and headed down towards the bedroom without another thought on the matter. I arrived at a closed door on the far end of the hallway and opened it slowly. I had seen the main rooms of Mary's house on a visit, but I wasn't familiar with this one. I eagerly opened the door to the room that would serve as my small apartment for the weekend.
I walked through the door and fumbled around for a minute looking for the light switch. I found it after a quick look and soon the dark little room was flooded with light from a single bulb mounted in the ceiling. The room was smaller than I expected and rather bare on furnishings. It was about 8 feet wide and 10 feet long with a ceiling that slanted downwards above up against the wall. It was a quiet little corner of Mary's house probably originally meant to be a storage room. It had only the one door and no windows. But, she had converted it into a place suitable for spending the weekend at least to my needs. There was a bed with a metal under frame and a polished oak head board and foot board. The bed was neatly made with fresh sheets and blankets. It was topped at the end with a nice big fluffy pillow. The room also contained a chair at the end of the bed near the door and a small table against the far wall with a digital alarm clock on it plugged into the wall displaying the current time in big red digits.
Mary's house was only originally listed as having 2 bedrooms. She must have converted the storage space here into another one for any unexpected guest like me. I knew she had another one upstairs that was better equipped. I tried to rationalize it, but came up empty. No matter, it would do and I was looking forward to a weekend with my sister. I shed my coat, mittens and other winter items and deposited them loosely on the chair. I settled my bag on the end of the bed and headed back out to say goodbye to my mother. When I returned, they had just finished a long conversation to which, I had been absent. "Well Mary, I should get going. I need to get home before the boys leave to pick up Amy. I don't want to make them late. Thanks again for taking your sister for the weekend." Mary nodded and told my mother that it was no trouble. "Now Jennifer, you two have fun. Mind your sister. this is your first weekend here and I don't want to have to make it your last. Just behave and have a good time." With that final comment, my mother gave me a quick hug and exited the house leaving me with Mary for what would be one of the most interesting time I had.
Mary and I watched as my mother headed out to her car and started it up. We each gave her a final Farwell wave and watched as she backed of the driveway. With my mother departed, Mary slowly closed the front door to the house with a gentle thud. "Well Jen, it's good to see you. I hope your looking forward to a fun weekend with me. Let's head down to your room I have a surprise for you." Mary took up the lead and I followed in close pursuit. "Do you have something special planned or are we just going to hang out?" I asked. Mary shot me a sly smile. "I have something special planned that is if your game?" I inquired about her plans and she told me I would half to wait a little longer. With that, the two of us finished our short journey to the room and entered it. Mary flicked on the lights and surveyed the chaos I had already left her with my stuff spread throughout the room. My sister turned and faced me for a moment.
"Alright Jennifer, let me lay down the ground rules. Before we do anything I want to set a few boundaries for the weekend. First, my room, the basement, and the attic are off limits. I know this room isn't as fancy as the other one, but it will be easier to clean up after you leave for home. I would prefer you stay on the ground floor this weekend. You can use the bathroom down the hallway and the TV in the family room is all yours for whatever you want to watch. We'll eat in the kitchen mostly and that about covers it. Any questions?" Mary finished her explanation and looked toward me in search of a response. I knew the basic layout of the ground floor the bathroom was only a door down and the TV room was just down the hall as well. Mary had a huge projection TV in there with a couple of sofas. I really didn't have any direct questions for her. She had laid everything out pretty plainly. That left me with just one idea. "So, what is this big surprise that you have planned?" I inquired.
Mary nodded and smiled as she headed over to the edge of the bed and knelt down. "Well, let's get started with this," she offered. Mary pulled out a long box with gift wrap on it adorned with a big bow. She raised the box from under the bed and handed it to me. I took it quite surprised that I had missed it before. The gift was unexpected, my birthday and Christmas were more than 10 months away, which drew some question to the gift. It was accompanied by a small tag that read "to Jennifer, from Mary". The box was lightweight and small in size. I looked up at my sister looking for a clue to it's contents, but she said nothing. Rather than playing 20 questions, I decide it would be quicker to just open the box. I drew back the paper slowly and gently discarded it onto the bed. The inner layer was a red colored gift box made from a high density cardboard. Slowly, I opened the top of the package with anticipation. When it came to gifts from Mary I never new quite what to expect.
I looked down to see the boxes content, which was a pleasant surprise. It looked like a neatly folded shirt with a high collar made from a soft looking material that reflected the light. I lifted it out of the box and examined it more closely. Once I felt the material I recognized it almost immediately. The top was constructed from satin that bore a light lavender color to it. The item I was holding was a sating pajama top. It had long sleeves that ended in an open and loose cuff. It also buttoned down the front and came to a collar on top. I looked down in the box and there was a set of pajama pants to match. They had a covered elastic waist band and ended in an open cuff at ankle length. I suppose I should explain the background of the gift a little. Mary had a set just like them I had seen her in a couple of times. I had told her they looked really comfortable and she confirmed that they were. I asked her where she got them and she told me that she would see if she could find a set for me if I wanted. I looked up my sister and thanked her for making good on her promise.
"They should fit you fine, though they might run a little big. I asked mom for your size and order them a little big so you would have room to grow." Mary offered with a huge grin on her face. I thanked her again for the gift and asked what the occasion was. "No occasion really, I got them by mail a week ago and I was meaning to bring them over to you, but since your here I thought I would save myself a trip. I tell you what, I know it's a little early yet, but why don't you grab a shower now? They you can try them on afterwards and wear them for the rest of the night if you want. Besides, that will give us more time later and I need to start dinner soon anyways." Mary's offer seemed pretty reasonable and I decide to take her up on it. It had been a long day and a hot shower sounded good. Besides I want to change. ( I usually got a little too excited over clothes.) "Just leave what your wearing now in the hamper in the bathroom and I wash it when I do laundry tomorrow."
I nodded and headed out of the small room with the new outfit neatly folded under my left arm. I made the short trip down the hallway to the bathroom and opened the door. I took off my shoes in the hallway and entered closing the door behind me and latching the lock in place. I deposited the new pajamas on top of the toilet tank and began to undress. I put my clothes where my sister had instructed and turned on the shower. I let the water run for a minute to warm up, and then I stepped in. I spent a good 20 minutes getting cleaned up and let all my stress from the school day drift down the drain with the hot water. When I was finished, I stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel off the rack and began to dry off. It took me a few good minutes to get all the water off before I was stopped dripping on the floor. Once I was finished, I decided to get dressed and finish up my other business in the bathroom. I pulled the pj's off the toilet top and began to don them I pulled the pants on and began to button the shirt up the front.
Mary was right about the sizing. The pajamas were just a little big, but they still had a good fit to them. The only problem was that the sleeves and pant legs were each about an inch longer than they needed to be. I pulled the pants up a little further and just let the sleeves hang long. It turned out to be one of the softest outfits I had ever warn. It was quite cozy against my skin and reasonably warm besides. I took a few more minutes as I stood there and finished up getting ready. I blow-dried my hair and tied it back in a short pony tail with a scrunchy. They, I brushed my teeth and took care of a few more odds and ends. I had spent a good 40 to 45 minutes before I finally emerged from the bathroom. I looked down and saw that Mary had take the liberty of removing my shoes from where I had absent mindedly left them in the hallway. She was nowhere to be seen at the moment. I let out a yell that I was done and Mary sent me a curt reply. "I'll be down in a minute, just be patient with me."
There was a slight chill in the air and it hit me as I exited the bathroom into the hallway. I decided that I was going to head back to my room and get out the bathrobe I had packed as wells as my teddy bear slippers to round the outfit off. I walked back down the hallway to the door and slowly drew it open. The lights were off when I entered, so I flicked them on with a quick hand motion and surveyed the room carefully. It was a lot different than I had left it 45 minutes ago. Mary had tidied up a bit. The gift box and the paper were absent from the bed. My winter clothing had also decided to seek a warmer climate. I guessed that my sister put them away. No matter, I thought I definitely wasn't going out in the snow like this anyway. Then, it really hit me. My duffle bag was gone from where I had left it on the end of the bed. I frantically searched the small room for it or some clue to its where about. However, everything turned up empty. Without any luck, I seated myself on the edge of the bed and decided to wait for Mary to come down and get an explanation from her. I didn't have to wait very long.
I took a quick glance over at the clock, it was a little after 5. There were foot steps coming down the hallway towards the door to the room. The door slowly opened and my sister entered the room. "Hey Jennifer, all cleaned up already? You look pretty comfortable." My sister commented with a smile. She stood in the doorway with her arms folded behind her back as if to hide something from my gaze. I was less than amused at the moment and changed the subject without replying to her question. "Where's my stuff? What did you do with it?" I demanded in a loud tone. Mary took a moment and gave me a puzzled look. "Relax, it's fine Jennifer, I put it up stairs. It's in my room at the moment and you'll get it back. Just hear me out for a moment before you get all bent out of shape. I wouldn't steal your stuff permanently. You know that." I calmed my reaction down a little and nodded. Mary was right of course, I shouldn't have worried, but the theft was unexpected and I was starting to worry about it. I regained my composure and looked over at my sister before I finally allowed her my attention to explain her behavior.
"Good, now since that is settled, I have a proposition for you this weekend if you would like. I thought that we hadn't played a game of tie up in a while and I though I would kidnap you for the weekend like we did when you were younger sometimes. However, it's up to you. If you don't want to that is fine also. We can just hang out if you would rather. Either way it should be a fun weekend. So, Jennifer what do you say?" I was caught off guard by the suggestion in it's entirety. It was foreseeable that one of us might have ended up tied up at some point this weekend, but Mary's directness with the offer was not what I had expected. I took a moment and thought it over while Mary waited patiently for a response. Finally, I made up my mind on the matter and gave her a direct answer. "Sure, why not. It sounds like fun to me." The smile returned to my face as the anxiety over my belongings faded. I hadn't played a game like this with Mary for a very long time and it would be a welcome break. It usually ended up with me being tied up for an extended period while we spent the weekend together. Mary nodded and brought her hands out from behind her back showing me the items she had been hiding.
Mary brought what looked like two sets of handcuffs out from behind her back with a ring of keys in the other. "Alright then Jen, lets make a little more comfortable shall we?" My sister walked over and stooped down to where my legs were hanging off the edge of the bed. I put my feet together and let her get started. Mary drew one of the pant legs on my pajamas down to offer some insulation between the shackles and my bare skin. Then she fastened the cuff around my right ankle and snugged it down into place. She left fastened it securely, but comfortably. She probably could have gone another notch before it would have been tight. I watched as she locked it and then did up a second lock. The second one would prevent the cuffs from tightening any more down than they already had. Then, she repeated the process around my remaining leg and double locked it in place. I gave the cuffs a quick tug to test their strength and they were very strong. My legs were connected to each other securely with about 7 or 8 inches of chain in between them. Mary rose from the floor with the other set in hand. "Let's get your wrist Jen and they well, be all set."
I turned around and brought my hands together behind me in close proximity and waited for Mary to make her advance. However, she didn't. "I think I would rather start with them in front of you if that is okay Jennifer. We're eating dinner in a little bit and it would prove difficult to eat with your hands behind your back wouldn't it?" I returned to my facing with my sister and brought my hands to the front in close proximity for her. Mary wasted no time applying the remaining hand cuffs to my hands. They were just a normal set that double locked with the normal 2 to 3 inches of chain between them. Mary pulled my sleeves down again to give me a layer between my wrist and the shackles. Once the final lock was clicked, she stood back and admired her work. I took a minute and tried to test my new limits. I could still move reasonably well, but I was restricted and hobbled reasonably considerably. "There Jennifer, how is that?" Mary asked as she looked down at me.
"It's not bad, but I can still move around quite a bit." I responded. "I know, but I wanted you to be comfortable. After all, it is a long weekend." Mary stated. Pulled against the chains a little more and looked them over I was secured pretty good. Then I looked up at my sister again gauging the response of what she just said. I decided to get a little better clarification on the matter "Just how long are you going to keep me like this? " I asked. Mary responded without an hesitation. "Probably all weekend at least until 1 or 2 Sunday right before mom picks you up. That’s' why I took your bag I need to check it to make sure you don't have a hand cuff key. Well, have fun we'll be eating in a few minutes so go ahead and get situated." Mary stated as she dropped the ring of keys into her pants pocket. I made eye contact and the gaze on her face told me she was dead serious about her little statement. Mary exited the room and left me to contemplate my fate. I wondered whether or not she would make good on her offer. I wasn't exactly uncomfortable at the moment, but it would be a long weekend if she was serious.
Well, I am going to call it at this point. As you can see this is going to be a little different from my last few stories. Would Mary really keep me locked up all weekend? Stay tuned for part two to find out. As always comments are appreciated.
Sorry to leave it hanging like this, but the next portion is long and I didn't have time to finish it just yet. I am setting the stage so to say here. I will continue in the next few days.
