The stress of the day and fatigue finally caught up to Rachel.  She started out only pretending to be asleep.  Afraid Eric’s parents were about to come back and see her sunbathing naked right in front of their son, she kept her eyes closed tight and prayed they wouldn’t be mad at her.

But after a few minutes, when nothing seemed to happen; the relaxing oil mixed with her prone body and closed eyes.  Before she knew it, she was fast asleep, having strange dreams about pizza and the Olympics.

After eating a slice of pizza, Eric looked over at Rachel.  She was lying there still pretending to be asleep.  He should really tell her the coast was clear, but decided to have a little fun with it.  He got his camera phone ready and pointed it at her lounger.  Then he filled a bucket of cold pool water and stalked up to her.

He was about to throw the bucket of water over her when he noticed something.  Her breath was coming at short shallow intervals.  She had actually fallen asleep.  Shaking his head, he couldn’t bring himself to wake her up.  But now that he was closer to her, he took a moment to appraise her body.  She was flawless.

Her hips were just starting to develop a shape but the soft curves of her bottom cheeks were firmly established.  They were a perfect handhold size and begging to be held.  Oil glistened all over her skin.  Her full breasts bulged out on either side of her body.  They were big enough to raise her flat stomach off the lounger.  With a fit body to go with her large breasts, he couldn’t think of any pictures in his porno stash that could even come close to Rachel.  He sat the bucket down and quietly returned to his pizza.

As he ate, Eric developed a plan.  When his parents got home, he would have to do some explaining.  It wasn’t his fault she was dressed that way.  But his parents would blame him anyway.  He couldn’t afford any more trouble after the stunt he pulled at school.

It would be a shame if they made her move out over this – the most likely scenario.  He had to find a way to convince them to let her stay.  This was a tricky task, but he was used to talking his way out of sticky situations.  His keen talent worked through different options to settle on the one that gave him the best shot.  He knew his dad would go along with whatever mom decided, so he focused on her.

When they got home, Eric quietly spread his towel over Rachel to cover her, hoping she would put it on when she woke up.  She didn’t stir.  She must have been pretty tired.  He left her sleeping and rushed around to meet his parents in the driveway as they pulled in.  His dad was on the city council and they were just returning from a meeting.

“Hi mom.  Hey dad.  I want to talk to you about something”, Eric put on his most concerned face.  He made sure to open the door for his mom and carry her grocery bag.  She had let him order pizza as an after school snack.  As a growing teenager, Eric would be hungry again by dinnertime.

He wanted to catch them before they walked through the house and saw the naked girl in the backyard.

“It’s about Rachel”

That got their attention.

“What’s the matter with Rachel?” His mom stopped and turned to him.

“Well, she had her swim team tryouts today.  And I guess there were some unusual changes this year.”

At this his dad turned around too. “Hey.  Frank from the school board was saying something about that.  Apparently they brought in a new head coach who was ruffling some feathers and upsetting the structure over there.  Some rich bastard offered to pay the coach’s salary and provide funding for facility renovations.  Frank said he even made some political contributions to the reelection campaigns of the school board members.”  Eric’s dad laughed at that, “Talk about throwing your money away.  Probably a good thing they’re shaking things up.  That school district has been in decline for years.”

Good.  His dad was already on board.  Now Eric could focus on his mom.

“That’s right” said Eric as he started to weave his fabrication.  “Rachel was really excited when she got home.  She couldn’t stop talking about all the great changes they had made with the swim team.  In fact-”

“That’s great, honey,” his mom cut him off and started inside.  She was impatient to get the groceries in the fridge.  She headed toward the kitchen. “So where is Rachel anyway?”

Eric chased her down.  “Well, that’s the thing.  I guess they got issued new uniforms and she didn’t want you to freak out about them.  They’re a little more…revealing…than traditional uniforms.”

“Nothing wrong with that.”  She started to put the groceries away, “I guess fashions are always changing, even in the swim world.”

Eric almost had her.  He just needed to set the hook by playing on her sympathy.

“Well, they are probably more revealing than you think.  But you have to promise you won’t make fun of her.  She is so proud of it.  And she looks up to you.  It would just destroy her if she thought you didn’t approve.” He was really laying on the protective big brother act.

The compliment struck home.  “Don’t worry about me, honey.  You may not believe it, but I remember what it was like to be an impressionable teenage girl.  Now I’ve got to get started on dinner.”

“OK. Thanks mom,” Eric was weighing if a hug would be over the top and expose his act, when a noise in the other room distracted them both.

“WOAH!”

It was Eric’s dad.

Eric and his mom rushed into the dining room to see Rachel standing outside the back door knocking.  She had Eric’s towel wrapped around her.  Eric’s dad had collapsed onto a dining room chair in a daze.  Eric’s mind went into overdrive assessing the situation and working out the best plan of attack.  Fortunately, he was on top of his game and had the advantage of planning.  Everyone else was playing catch up.

Eric’s mom gave his dad a rebuking look as she crossed over to unlock the sliding door for the girl.  He must have seen flashes of Rachel’s body as she stood up and put the towel on because he was struck dumb.

Rachel meekly entered the house.  She didn’t know what was about to happen.  She mentally thanked Eric for giving her the towel.  Without it she would probably have died of shame.

Eric’s mom was studying Rachel.  She had expected to see her in her new swim uniform but so far the only sign of a uniform was a swim cap and some fancy looking webbed gloves.  The top of Rachel’s breasts were bulging above the towel.  No sign of suit there.

Eric was quick to speak up.  He had to take control.  “Rachel, I was just telling mom and dad about your swim tryouts.” He spoke in a calm, steady voice as if to lead by example for his parents.

His mom put on the smile of a caring parent.  “How did it go?”

“Pretty good, I think.  I’m supposed to find out tonight if I made the team.” Strangely, things were going better than she expected.  Rachel was still confused, but felt comforted.

“That’s great, Rachel.” Another smile from his mom.  “Just having the courage to tryout is a big accomplishment.  Based on what your mother said about your training, I’m sure you’ll make a great addition to the team.”

Eric’s dad was sitting in stunned silence.  He must have caught more than a glimpse of Rachel’s body.

Eric continued, “She was telling me all about the facility upgrades and the new coach…and the new uniforms”.

At that Eric’s dad gave a little snort.  He was not closely following the conversation, but Eric didn’t worry about that.  He just had to convince his mom, so he went on “They are a little revealing style, they’re a cutting edge design made with the latest technology.  She even said she set a personal best!”

“I’m so proud of you, Rachel.” his mom was in full support mode.  She still couldn’t see any of Rachel’s suit, but the gloves looked futuristic.  “Don’t worry about the suit, honey.  I grew up in the 60’s so I’ve seen plenty in my time.  I know how styles change and I’m sure you rock that suit.”  Eric didn’t need to say anything else.  His mom had taken the bait and was finishing the job for him.  Rachel was intently listening to his mom’s words; her typical trusting innocence kicking in.

Eric suppressed a smile as his mom did exactly what he wanted.  “Honey, I want you to feel like family in this household.  We’re not here to judge you.  We all support you.  Now, how about a little fashion show?  Go ahead and model the suit for us.”

Eric had reached the last but most important step in his plan.  His mom would never break the girl’s fragile confidence now.  He just had to navigate the next few moments without the deception breaking down.  Basically all he had to do was look at Rachel’s body without ogling her tits or popping a boner and he was home free.  A difficult task for sure, but not impossible.

There was fear in Rachel’s eyes as she looked around the room.  Eric’s dad was looking at her towel still trying to figure out what was going on.  His mom had her best look of motherly approval.  Eric made eye contact with her.  His trusting face was encouraging her to go on.  His confidence gave her confidence. Slowly Rachel let the towel drop from her body…TO BE CONTINUED
