Don’t judge a book

Introduction

The Jones family is a collection of stories that could involve any of the three family members. First of all we have the mother, Elizabeth Jones, a widow who took the death of her husband very badly. She threw herself in to her work but when this was not enough, she quickly discovered sex, she loves it and is willing to experiment. Elizabeth’s work means she has to travel a lot and as a result her two children live in the house alone. Her daughter, Sarah, is seventeen and in higher education. She is very sexually active, she seems to take after her mother and likes to experiment. She tries hard not to get a reputation and little is known about her activities in her school or local area. Matthew is fifteen and in school, a year away from taking his exams, not a lot is known about his sexual adventures, he likes to keep it quiet.


Never judge a book by its’ cover.

Sarah sat at the bar waiting for her friends, she had arranged to meet them at eight but they had phoned to say they would be late and would get there at nine. She had an hour to kill and would have to make do with a couple of drinks and people watching. There weren’t too many people around but two men caught her eye, they looked like brothers. She thought she recognized one of them from her school so he could have been fifteen or sixteen, the other man must have been around twenty. Now he really caught her eye.

The two men were brothers, the younger was Terry and his older brother was John. They were laughing and joking as though they had not seen each other for a while, Terry listening intently to his brother when he told him his stories. John was on leave from the army and had a month off to relax, he had been posted to Germany and Cyprus and had been mainly been involved in exercises and training, it was hard work and now was the time to relax. He had not seen his brother for six months so he had to catch up on any news, as well as telling his bother all about his adventures. He was aware of being watched a little too closely and had to see who was paying attention to them.

John looked around to see who was watching them, he saw Sarah sitting alone at the bar. John smiled. John asked his brother who the girl on her own was but all Terry could really say was that he thought she was in his school; that maybe she was sixteen but he didn’t know much more than that. John liked what he saw and plotted his next move.

Sarah had been looking a little too much and when she was caught, she turned her head away forcing herself to look elsewhere, while muttering to herself what an idiot she had been. Clearly embarassed she pondered what to do next but was taken by surprise with what happened next.

John spoke to his brother explaining what he was going to do, Terry just nodded and laughed. They went to the bar, just out of sight of Sarah. As it was quiet John could talk to the person behind the bar asking what she had been drinking, John paid for another drink for her and wrote a little note asking the barman to give them to her. The two brothers waited.

Sarah was losing concentration, the situation overwhelming her. She quickly came to her senses when the barman passed her a drink with the note, she protested that she had not asked for one but the barman explained that someone had bought it for her. Her face reddened, then she saw the note and curiosity got the better of her. She unfolded it and read it, written on the paper was the word ‘hello’.

Sarah was panicing, not knowing what to do, she looked around and did not see the two brothers. She returned to face the bar to take a swig of her drink then got the shock of her life.

“Do you mind if we join you?” John asked Sarah, startling her.

“No, of course not”, the reply was very nervous.

“I’m John Evans, this is my brother Terry.
