12 - Sharing With Friends
Story index at the bottom
By Jennifer
Well, everyone I am sorry to worry everyone so much. I am recovering nicely and should be back in action in a little while. Meanwhile, I am finally able to post a new story here on my site and on Canuck's. Part 2 will follow shortly for now enjoy everyone. This takes place the summer that I was nine a few weeks after I met Shelly on my front porch.
It was the middle of June just a few weeks after school had finally let us out for the summer. I don't remember the exact time of day, but it was sometime in the early evening. The air was comfortably warm and there was still more than enough daylight falling fast from the clear and gentle sky. I looked up at it through the window of my sisters old beat up car. It was an old four door brown dodge with as much rust as it had paint. Mary had bought it soon after she first got her license out of high school for around 300 bucks. It had take nearly another five to get it road worthy again. She was home from college for the summer and was more than willing to drive me to my destination that evening. Mary was luck enough to have two cars by the end of her first year of college. She was leasing a newer one and she still had this one from earlier in her life. It wasn't reliable anymore for longer trips, but she drove it on short ones around town to keep the miles on her newer one down.
I was sitting on the left side in the back seat behind Mary as she drove us towards our destination. I was strapped down to the seat pretty securely in the vest harness that I usually wore in the car. It made it difficult to move around much, but I felt safer with it on than without it. The night was warm and the cool air from rush of the open window blew gently through my hair. I was dressed in a two piece set of pink pajamas at the time. The pant were pink in color and were long with a loose fitting hem at the bottom. The top matched the bottoms and buttoned down the front with short sleeves and a loose fitting collar. I was also wearing a white pair of socks with a set pink set of those plastic jelly fisherman style sandals overtop of them. My brown hair was tied back in a loosely gathered pony tail that had gained some length since I had begun to let my hair grow out a little bit longer during the summer. Normally, I wouldn't be wearing pajamas in a outside even on a summer day, but the outfit suited my intended destination and I didn't want to spend time changing later. The car pulled up to our first stop on what would have been otherwise a short trip, but I was glad to make the longer one for it's benefits.
Mary pulled the car into the driveway with a quiet screech where we could already see Amber waiting for us on the steps. She got up from where she was sitting and began the short walk down the sidewalk to where my sister had parked the car. The young girl was carrying two bags with her. One was a sleeping bag and the other was as small bag that contained her other items for the night we were going to spending together. I had a combined duffle bag to match sitting in the trunk of the car. It had my sleeping bag, and a few other items for what would hopefully turn into a fun evening shared between three very close friends. Mary exited the car and headed over to meet my friend. I waved from the car, but the harness prevented me from making a timely exit so I decided just to stay put for the moment. Mary asked Amber if she had everything she needed and got an affirmative response from my friend. Then, my sister took hold of her bags offering to place them in the trunk for her and told her to go around and hop in the back seat. The girl proceeded with her the request and headed around and opened the opposite door and climbed in as she greeted me.
Amber was the same age as I was and we had been close friends since kindergarten. I looked over at her as she sat down and buckled her seat belt while Mary was busy popping the trunk. Amber was a bit taller than I was, which could be clearly seen when she brought her back to rest against the back of the car seat. She stared back at me with her warm brown eyes and a pleasant smile. These affairs were always fun and the two of us had been looking forward to it all week. Amber had long blond hair, which she let hang loosely around her face. She was wearing a red hair band, across the top of her head behind her ears. She let the ends of her hair hang loosely and they came all the way down to the middle of her lower back. She had never cut her hair short for as long as I can remember her. Amber's slender build was hidden by the night gown that she was currently wearing. The gown was a soft yellow in color and closed in the back with two buttons. It had long sleeves and came down two about the middle of her calves. Amber was also wearing a pair lf yellow flip flops over hear bear feet to match the night gown.
With the two of us strapped in the back seat of the car and the Trunk loaded, Mary slammed it shut. Then, my older sister returned to the front and started the car up. "Ready to go you two?" Amber and I both replied that we were more than ready to leave. Amber waved out the window to her mother who was standing at the big open window of their living room seeing her daughter off. The car backed out of the driveway and began to retrace it's steps to where it had begun. Amber rolled down her window to let some cool air into her side of the care and looked over at me smiling. Our destination was about a 10 minute drive from her house, but it was in walking distance of mine. Not long ago, a new girl who I will call Shelly moved into my neighbor hood during the last few weeks of school. She wasn't starting school with us until the fall, but I had met her by a chance meeting a few weeks earlier.
She had been walking by my house and saw me playing on the front porch. Moreover, I suppose she saw me sitting on the front porch with my hands tied behind one of the chairs that I liked to sit in during the warmer months of the year.. She stared at me curiously for a minute or two and then she decided to come over and investigate my situation. Being tied to the post there really wasn't much I could do to hide from her approach. So, I greeted her warmly and asked her where she was from. After talking for a few minutes and asking some questions back and fourth, I learned that she had moved into the old empty house down the road from us a few days earlier. She was new in town and didn't know too many people. She had seen me and decide to introduce herself. On the receiving end, I got the usual questions about why I was tied to my front porch. I explained that it was just a game that I played with my brothers and some of the history behind it.
After I finished my story, Shelly offered to untie me and asked if we could play together. I accepted and Shelly said she had to go home to get her mother's permission. In a short while Shelly and her mom returned and formally introduced themselves to my parents. The two of us played with Scott while the adults had a formal introduction over coffee. The two of us became fast friends in the following two weeks and eventually when Amber came over to spend part of a Saturday with me, I introduced them to each other as well. The two of us were now on our way over to Shelly's house for what would be our first sleep over with her. Amber and I had spent the night at each other's houses a couple of times. Shelly wanted to break the ice a little more formally by playing host. A couple of phone calls later and the whole thing was set up for today. The only stipulation was that Amber needed a ride there and Mary had been kind enough to fix that problem for us. So, we had driven a little out of our way, but it was well worth it to have her along for the party. I guess I should mention that neither Shelly nor Amber to my knowledge had ever been in a TUG before. That was a fact I planned to remedies that evening.
After a short drive and our small convoy arrived at it's final destination. The old clunker pulled into the driveway and halted with a rather loud sound. Mary parked the car and turned off the engine. Amber undid her seatbelt and I began working on the clips that attached my car vest to the seat. Amber leaned over and gave me a hand and I pulled loose in a minute. I unbuckled the crotch strap while Amber undid the zipper in the back. Then, I pulled the harness off and deposited it on the floor of the car. Meanwhile, Mary popped the trunk and began to unload our three bags onto the driveway. Amber and I exited the car and went around to retrieve our bags from the ground. The two of us shouldered our bags and headed up to the front door of the house. I began to reach for the doorbell, but before I could push it the front door slid open and we were greeted by Shelly.
Shelly's age matched the two of ours and her height was somewhere in the middle of the two of us. Her face bore a warm welcoming expression as the two of us entered the room. Shelly had light blue eyes and a dark black hair that she had gathered into a short pony tail behind her head. She had an average build for someone of our age if I remember correctly. I looked her over from top to bottom, Shelly was wearing a set of pajamas similar to the ones that I was. She had a short sleeved top and long pants that came down and hung loosely at her ankles. The primary difference was that they were a light blue in color and the top lacked the collar that mine did. She was also wearing a set of open backed bunny slippers over her bare feet. Shelly welcomed the two of us warmly and exchanged a quick greeting with my sister as well. I seated myself at the door and undid the sandals I was wearing and placed them next to the wall. Amber similarly stepped out of her flip flops, neither of us wanted to track dirt all over Shelly's house. With a final nod, Mary told us that she was going to bid us ado and told me that if I needed anything that she was just a phone call away. With that, Mary departed leaving Amber and I to our new host.
Shelly picked up Amber's sleeping bag and led the way to the kitchen. I followed with my stuff and Amber did as well with her remaining bag. Once there, Shelly opened a door and took up the lead down into the basement of her house. The three of us descended the stair case and rounded a corner at the bottom. I was surprised that we were going into the basement of the house, but I soon saw the reason. This was the first time that I had actually been inside Shelly's house beyond the kitchen. Their basement wasn't a typical basement. It had the usual laundry area and a pool table, but the far end of it turned out to be really neat. Against the far wall, there was a large carpeted area with some furniture and a TV. "This is what we call our family room." Shelly explained. "I thought we could have the party down hear tonight. My parents won't get home until late, but my brother Doug is upstairs is we need anything. Everyone sleeps upstairs normally, so I figured that being down here we wouldn't have as much of a chance to bother them." Amber and I nodded and began to take in the view of the room as a whole.
The carpeted area was about 20 feet squared. There were two sofas facing at right angles to each other, the larger one facing the television directly. There were also two easy chairs across from the smaller of the two sofas. The television was pretty big and it had a VCR hooked up to it and a cabinet of movies and other things sitting next to it. The three of us wasted no time in getting set up for the sleep over. Shelly had already brought down a sleeping bag and laid it out in the open space centered between the furniture and the TV. Amber and I soon followed her example and began unpacking our sleeping bags from their respective containers. Shelly watched me as I pulled the sleeping bag out of the massive duffle bag and began unrolling it on the soft carpeted floor. However, I soon realized that her attention was not on me, but more on the contents of my duffle bag. I had brought a couple of movies, as we planned to stay up really late watching movies together. I had also brought my game boy and a set of footed pajamas if it really got cold, but that wasn't what had her attention.
Shelly stared down at my bag for a few minutes before she just blurted out the obvious question. "Umm Jennifer, why is there a whole bunch of rope in your duffle bag?" She asked as she stared down at the 8 or 9 coils of rope that I had brought hidden in the bottom of my bag. I looked up at her and gave her a direct answer that I had prepared in front of the mirror earlier that evening. "Remember when you found me tied up on the porch and asked me about it?" Shelly replied with a nod looking down at the rope with a strange look on her faces. "If you remember, you asked me why I was tied up and what it was like to be tied up. It's just a game I play with my brothers from time to time and it is kind of fun. Anyway, you asked me if you could try it sometime and I told you I we could if you wanted to. Well, I thought that since we're going to be spending the night together, that it might be a good time later tonight to try it if you still want to." I looked over at Shelly's empty expression and waited for a response.
Shelly looked at me for a good couple of moments before she collected herself and generated a reply. Then her expression changed unexpectedly. "I guess I could give it a try if you want to. Do you want to do it right now?" She asked. "If your want to." I replied. I deiced to move in on the situation before she changed her mind formally. I leaned down into the bag and selected a piece or rope that was maybe 7 or 8 feet in length and began to uncoil it, Then I began to approach Shelly. "Could you put your hands together please?" "Do you want them in front of me or behind my back?" Shelly asked me. "Whichever, you feel more comfortable with. I don't want you to get scared about this." I replied. Shelly looked down at the rope for a moment and made up her mind on the matter. She turned her back to me and pulled her hands together behind her. I had to admit it was a bold first move, but then again if she had seen anyone tied up before it was the more common practice.
I decided to skip with any preliminary stuff and went for a secure more advanced tie. She was willing to dive into it, so I figured I might as well do a good job. I pulled Shelly's wrists into an X pattern and began to wrap them horizontally with the rope. I made a good 8 or 9 laps before I snugged it down. Then, I switched modes and began to wrap her hands vertically to secure the tie better. My friend made no complaint about the process and let me finish the tie without any interruption. "There we go, let's see you get out of that." I said with a quiet smile as I tightened down the last of the rope and knotted it off. I finished with a square knot on the top of the vertical loops where I was sure her fingers couldn't reach it. Then I stepped back and watched to gage her reaction to the situation. Shelly began exploring her new confinement slowly at first.
Shelly tried to move her hands and found they were tied pretty good. She gave the ropes a few good tugs and pulled her arms in different directions studying the tie. The ropes held and her hands stayed knotted together behind her back. She experimented with moving her arms up and down together behind her back and quickly found the limits of her range of motion without much difficulty. Shelly took a few steps around the room and test her ability to function with her hands restrained behind her back. She found herself a little off balance without the use of her arms, but she soon learned to compensate without much trouble. After a few minutes of walking around, she finally gave up on the matter and seated herself on the large of the two sofas with her hand facing the back. Shelly looked back over shoulder down at the tie trying to deduce some way to seek freedom from it. Her stare told me she was coming up empty.
Next, she spent the next few minutes resorting to just pure struggling. She pulled her arms in every which way back and fourth. She squirmed against the tie in a couple of different directions. Amber and I just watched her efforts from a short distance back. After trying for a few minutes, Shelly finally just sat back and rested from exhaustion. "Well Jennifer, I don't think I can get out of this by myself." She panted as she began the process of catching her breath. "But, it is kind of neat, not being able to move my hands around. How long are you going to keep me tied up for?" "Do you want me to let you go now? If you do I will." I replied. Shelly answered back, "Not yet you can leave me for a little longer if you want. Hey, maybe you should tie Amber up too. No point on her missing all the fun." Shelly offered with a quiet laugh. The two of us looked over to where Amber was standing a few feet away. We were seeking a response and she was quick to reply.
"That's okay, I am having plenty of fun just watching from here. Maybe later if I feel like it, I am still a little unsure about it." Her face gave away more than her words did. It was the first time since I had met her that she was looking at me as if I was crazy. I think she was a scared of the idea at the moment and I decide not to press the matter any further. Amber was a good friend and I didn't want to risk damaging our friendship by making her uncomfortable with a the situation. The two of us left Shelly sitting on the couch with her hands tied as we returned to the task of setting up our sleeping bags for the night. Shelly just sat there and relaxed her struggles. She watched us continue to set up and then she started a conversation with me. She asked me a little about my history of playing this sort of stuff with my siblings and I gave her some more of the details and shared the short version of a couple of events with her.
The two of us talked back and fourth as we continued to get situated for the evening. Shelly mostly listened while I told her about a couple of incidents and she asked questions back and fourth intermittently. Amber continued to work keep silent on the subject. She sat kneeling on the floor and listened to the two of us banter back and fourth. She seemed to be listening with a curiosity to the idea of being tied up and why someone would do it willingly. At the end of the conversation, I got up and headed over to where Shelly was seated and leaned around behind her. I unknotted the rope and began to unwind the coils binding her hands. After a minute or two, she was free and brought her hands back to the front. "Thanks, Jennifer that was interesting, but it feels good to be free again." Shelly said as she began to work some of the circulation back into her wrists. I nodded and explained that if she didn't struggle so much it would be more comfortable for a longer period. Shelly thanked me for the little experience and said that maybe we could try it again later that evening if I wanted. Then, the three of us moved onto deciding what to do next.
This is a good place to conclude this story for now. The evening continued for a while and we had another TUG that lasted a little longer.
