The Deep End, part five by leslie
As I walked down the hallway with my stomach crawling in my shiny new black shoes, All I could do was ....... "Dread" ....... And think about how short my life had been and why I had ended it all so ..... quickly .... And for so stupid a thing as wanting to be the girl everyone else seemed to be. My long dark hair was now pretty wet at the bangs from chewing nervously at them as I walked toward an uncertain future at best .... at worst .... humiliation and that "look" from my Mom telling me I knew better and my Dad just sighing but giving me that distinct feeling that he was "disappointed" in me(something that could make me want to hide in my room forever, just because I let him down and like Mom would say..."I knew better"). The rows of grey lockers seemed to blur by me as I kept my head down and made my way inevitably to the main office. Without a word, Mrs. Granger looked up at me, stood and opened the door to Mr. Allens office ... then without a word again, went back to her desk and began typing ...... I then heard Mr. Allens call me in and I walked in like I had cement tied around each shoe and missing my parents soooo much that I really wanted to be as dead as they had been now for 14 years. Sitting down now in the brown leather high back chair, I looked at the burgundy carpet and ............ waited .......... and ............ waited ............ and .............. waited.......
Finally Mr. Allens looks up at me from his papers and tipping his wire glasses low down to his nose, He says something that never in a million gazillion years would I have guessed possible. "Looks like rain today Lauren, maybe you should see if Megan has a coat after classes today and help her get home ok" ............ "STUNNED"!!! That's what I was ....... Wasn't I supposed to die today?! Wasn't this the end of everything?! All I could do between tears was nod my head and give a quivering "Yes sir". With that he said I could go back to class and sliding his glasses back up, just started back to his paper work. Standing and heading toward the door ........ I hesitated ........ confused and utterly amazed at what had happened, I turned and just said one word ................... "WHY"?! .............. Taking his glasses off now and laying them slowly and carefully on his desk, He turned to me and told me something I have never forgotten to this day ...... "Lauren, we both know what kind of a person you are and I think I can pretty much guess how your feeling right now ..... The important thing is that we both know your going to do the right thing now, as I have no doubts whatsoever about your character and I believe in you ..... now hurry, Ms. Richardson is starting classes about now, isn't she?" Stunned ...... on another planet ...... sitting on a cloud and looking down, wondering how I got up here ...... I smile so wide my teeth hurt, I give Mr. Allens a grateful look and say "Yes sir! I think she is!!!" Then off with you ..... And I walk out off the office and walking past Mrs. Granger, I could have sworn I saw a slight smile on her and she NEVER smiles!!!
After classes that day, I was walking out to the lockers with my friends and they had ALL been called to the office that day, one at a time ....... and everyone was chattering about how "Mean" Mr. Allens was and how long it was going to take them to do all the after school "volunteer" work they had been assigned to do till spring break. I couldn't believe it! They got the book thrown at them and he let me off?! Now his words came back to me again and I felt myself changing ........ and that change lasted for the rest of my life. "Can you BELIEVE it Michelle? Just for calling that girl a "TARD" ...... Yeah Judy, the fucking prick can't get real for a second, she's just a Tard and he ruins OUR life instead of kicking that idiot out to some "special" school. Humiliated ....... Sad ........ "Disappointed" in myself for EVER falling into that tempting trap to be "One of the girls", I turn to my "friends" and say to all of them "Her name is MEGAN and I'm going to help her get home and if she'll accept it,I'm going to apologize to her all the way and hope she'll be my friend, even though she has every right to spit in my face and YOURS too!!!
As the yellow lines on the interstate flew by, I looked over at Shaunee and smiled. Thinking back again on my past and how much fun me and Megan had all those years ago, The shopping, makeup disasters, laughing at stupid movies ....things like best friends do ...... then getting that phone call from her mom some years ago, telling me Megan had passed away from complications of her seizures and downs syndrome and the extreme sadness and guilt I felt for her and myself for not spending as much time with Megan as I know I could and should have done, for the sake of BOTH of us. Still gazing at Shaunee, I tell her "I love you Shaunee" ....... And she tells me she loves me too .......... Then I tell her "I mean it baby, I really really love you" ............ Shaunee then starts to glance at me while driving, with a concerned look in her eyes, and slows the car down, turns on her signals to pull over, slows and stops at a nearby rest area, shuts the car off, turns her body to me and with a very concerned look on her face asks me if anything is wrong. "No baby, nothings wrong, I was just thinking how I let myself get out of control at the park today and wanted to know how you were feeling about everything that happened." Sitting back in her seat now, she looks out the front window and tells me "Yeah, that was pretty hot today ..... I lost it too ....... I think seeing that wedding dress today and the overwhelming feelings I had from really being a part of a family ....... Your family ...... Just got to me and all I wanted was to do anything for you and I would have too, I still would ........ But I have to say that now that I'm cooled down some, I do feel a little silly .... hahahaha, but God was that a hot date or what?!"
"Ummmmmmmmm, yeah sure was babe and I guess I'm feeling kind of silly too .... hahahaha ........ But be warned, I'm old and FULL of fantasies long buried and your my life now, so what do you think of that?" Smiling broadly Shaunee give a wicked "COOOOOOOL!!!!!!" Then tells me she has a few of her own and I better not tire out to quickly so I better keep up my vitamin shots!!! Looking shocked, I slap her arm and looking over at puppy I ask him if he heard what she just told me and point to Shaunee laughing wildly in her seat and our big guy looks at her and gives a lil "Grrrrr" before wagging his tail and looking for the petting that was sure to follow ..... and it did. As Shaunee had her turn at the petting, I got out, walked to the pop machine, and got both of us a couple of cold Cokes and walking back to the car I again remember Megan and swear to myself silently that THIS TIME I will make sure not to EVER take for granted the love and friendship that another person can give and thanked Megan for the chance to be a better person than I had ever been. Handing the Coke to Shaunee, I climb in the car seat, lean over and give my best friend in the world a soft kiss on her cheek ........ Smiling now at me and asking if I'm back from the world I went to, I tell her "Yes but ask me again sometime and let me take your hand and I'll show you that world." With an understanding nod, Shaunee turns, starts the car and we're off to home.
"I don't believe it, no way are you thinking what I think your thinking!!!" Yup, Me and Big Guy here (Thats his name now and I guess it kinda always was)...... Are all sweaty and "We" need a bath, And as my angel drops her robe and naked, bends to pick up a playful pup currently saving us from the evil terry towel that somehow got in his mouth ...... Cradling him in her arms and stepping into the bubble filled tub, I am filled the the vision of an ever loving blond angel in white with her wings cradling and protecting her loved one and an ever bright glow around the entire room, so much so that I had to just sit on the vanity bench and ......... "GAZE" ....... at this sight that cried out "Angels from heaven are in your life and maybe always were and Thanking God I could at last see them", Then sighing from the love of the whole scene, I shed my cloth's and join my family in the tub and get splashed with bubbles and laughter before I even get in. Shaunee laughing and looking up at me asks me what changed my thoughts on puppy baths ........ Smiling I looked her in the eyes and said "An Angel did" And under all the bubbles and splashing, I could see a blushing and smiling girl.
I couldn't get enough of Shaunee that night, after making a lil space for Big Guy and seeing all the love a devotion she gave to everyone and everything that day, I just had to take her hands as she was reaching for her nighty and shaking my head, I ease her robe off those milky shoulders of hers and lead her to our bed, where she lies down and asks me if I have something on my mind .......... "You lil minx, I have YOU on my mind and I have something that can't wait another second for." And I drop my robe, slide my now naked body next to my love and lying slightly on top of this cloud of loveliness, I entwine my left hand and fingers in Shaunee's right hand and give her the deepest kiss I know how to give. With our lips seemingly melded into one body and one source of life, I ease my leg in between my girl and open her giving body to mine and then just hold, caress and love my lady as if time meant nothing and the world would stop at our will as we gave ourselves the gift of true love and passion that ran hot through our hearts. Breaking that kiss was not easy but I had something else that I had to do and as I catch my breath and we breath again, I slide fully on top of my girl and take her other hand in mine ......... with her eyes closed and heavy breathing now coming from those glowing lips and rising perfect breasts, I slowly kiss and nuzzle my way down her toned and tanned body in a surreal blur of passion and love that seemed to go on for hours, till I found my lips softly kissing her soft blond mound and I knew what I had to do, I had to return some of the love she had given me under that magical tree in the park and with a sigh of deepest love, I gave in to all the lust, feelings of undying love and the fact of time standing still for just "Us" and kissed .................. and kissed ..................... and kissed ............. and drank in soooo much of Shaunee's love that heavenly night between the sheets and her pulsing heated thighs, That she had to weakly pull me up and tell me she couldn't take any more. Smiling I just tell her I loved her sooooo damn much I couldn't stop. She then pulls me into her tightly, wraps her loving arms around my head as I rest between her breasts and whispers "We have forever baby ..... We have ....... Forever ................ And we both drift off this world and into our own world of bliss and perfect sleep ......................
"Hey Laurrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeennnnnnn .............. Wakey Wakey .......... Hey boss lady, time to get up ............. Awwwww Lauren, your life is calling, want to answer?" And then I start feeling ....... "Nudging" ....... And "pulling" ......... And even some tickling, finally getting my head back focusing on the thought that it might be morning and my face is getting wet. I start to pry open my right eye and begin to see a vague outline of someone, then Shaunee's form takes shape, leaning on her right arm and giving me that smile that has since sent gardeners to the moon and cleared all the shipping lanes of ice in the Atlantic and since there was also world peace now that she smiled, I opened my left eye too and said a weak "Good Morning" and shortly discovered my very serious mistake. Two seconds later I was snowballed by a pink wet tongue and white fur ball with two lil pink paws planted squarely under my nose as my nose and face were appearantly the dessert of the day! "SHAUNEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! " and all I can hear is giggles, infectious laughter and her saying "Get her Big Guy", "Go git her" .... Hahahahahaha ........... "You go Guy! Git Mommy Up! Go Git Her!!!" ..... Hahahahahah ............... And I almost fall out of our beautiful and COMFORTABLE bed trying to escape! Standing now I glare at that angel on the bed with her accomplice and as I trot to the bathroom for a much needed wake up shower, I tell them both "YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOOOOOO "GOT", I'M GETTING YOU BACK BIG TIME BABY AND YOUR LITTLE DOG TOO!" Then I feel a pillow hit me smack on my butt and hear a laughing angel telling her lil angel "The wicked witch of the west is up, Good job pal Hahahahahahah!!!" And smiling more than a woman like me ever deserved, I walk into the bathroom, open the shower door and WAKE UP FAST.
Reaching for my razor, I can hear Shaunee yell out that she's going to start breakfast ............. And my hand freezes just as I'm about to start on my left leg. "Ahhhhhh Shaunee?!!!!! Honey?!!!" Nothing ....... too late ....... "Oh Dear" ....... Naw, not twice in a row ......... She'll be ok .....Yeah .....She'll do fine .......... "What could happen?!" Five minutes later I'm quickly walking down the stairs and expecting no less than Dante's Inferno but just see a beautiful blond in the kitchen, bent over, taking out some pastries from the oven. Looking up and seeing me enter the kitchen, Shaunee smiles and says she thought I might be a while and that everything isn't done yet. At a loss for words I think I mumbled something like "Ammmmmm Jus forgot ummmmmmmmm ....... had to get something .......UmmmErrrr ........Yeah, back in a bit." Then embarrassed, I go back to finish showering, silently reprimanding myself for ever doubting my girl. Half an hour later I'm dressed in my tan khakis and blue cotton top as I head downstairs to Shaunee's breakfast. Seeing me come into the kitchen, she gives that smile again ......"I swear, every time see does that, I get five years added to my life!" Morning Lauren, sleep good? "Ohhhhhhh baby girl, your soooo not funny!" Then laughing, we sit down and start breakfast ......... "Almost" ........... Looking down at the plate in front of me, I can see runny "scrambled" eggs, burnt toast again and ........... plastic baked into the oven pastries "(Poor baby, I'm thinking ...... She tries sooo damn hard)" "Ummmmm ......Honey I have to get to the store, running late!!!" HUH?!!! But what about breakfast?!!! "I'm sorry baby, here, I'll take a pastry with me" and drinking a large gulp from the Orange juice, I stand and head for the door. Shaunee follows with her pastry in her hand too and walks with me to the door. "So you going to be ok honey?" I ask her as I grab my purse and keys .......... Yeah, I got lots to do, forward my mail, call everyone and tell them where I'm at and stuff and of course, I have to leave enough time to snoop through your things too (And she gives a wicked grin). Laughing I pull her close and kiss my precious darling long and deep as my purse rests on her soft ass and my arms hold her so tight, you would think I would be gone for years ....... "I'll call you all day baby and I'll miss you like no one has ever missed you ....... And thats the Gods truth. By the way babe, It's "OUR" stuff now, not just mine but if you find the porno collection, let me know, I have been looking for it for weeks!!!!!" HAHAHAHAHahahahahaha!!!!!" As we laugh and I walk to my Blazer, I can hear Shaunee telling herself that her pastry tastes funny and then I hear a "Oh Noooooooooo!!!!!!" And I get in my Blazer and as I drive off, just smiling and shaking my head, I keep saying to myself "Oh baby baby baby ....... Shaunee don't you EVER change ...... and drive to work laughing ......... for the first time in my life.
