  “I was thinking of talking to Mary.” Sally told him.

  “For what? You think you can get her to recant her story? No chance, she loves the publicity.” He stated.

  “I don’t know I’ll appeal to her as her best friend for years now.” Sally stated.

  “I doubt it will work, but if you want to try it, good luck.” He finally gave in.

  “Yeah maybe after I go talk to Mr. Samuels. I got one of my old jobs back!” Sally told him.

  “That’s great! Congratulations.” Johnny said.

  They ate most of the rest of the meal in silence. Sally looked around and saw people talking about the two of them. She shrugged her shoulders and turned back to Johnny. “So what are you doing after you leave here?” She asked him.

  “I think I’ll go work out at the gym. It’s usually not too busy during this part of the day and people leave me alone, the few that are there anyway.” Johnny commented.

  “Do people often say things to you?” She asked.

  He looked up and she turned to see what he was looking at. There was a lady of about 30 standing there. “You should be ashamed of yourself. How could you rape those girls? I hope they throw the book at you.” She spat at him. “Don’t you know what he is? He’s a rapist; you really shouldn’t be with him. You might get hurt like one of those girls did.” The lady said to Sally.

  “You do realize that there are two sides to every story and that what you’ve heard may not be the truth right?” Sally begun. “Remember you aren’t supposed to judge other people either. Let thee who is without sin cast the first stone.” Sally stated.

  The lady turned red and made a noise and walked away.

  “I hate people like that.” Sally commented.

  “Wow that was amazing, you handled her very well.” Johnny had to laugh. “Can we please go now? If one person comes up they usually start coming up more and more to me. It’s just the way it goes. One person breaches the gap and they all jump in. Even with what you said, I’m not sure we will be safe from another visit.” Johnny explained.

  “Sure let’s get out of here. I have a little time before I have to go see Mr. Samuels, would you like to go back to your place?” Sally asked.

  “Sure, let’s go.” Johnny smiled knowing what they would be doing when they got back to his place.

  He took his Harley and she drove her car, the trip seemed to take forever for her. But soon they were back at his place and inside. She smiled at him and closed the gap quickly. Sally kissed him deeply and he undressed her quickly.

  Johnny looked down at her and smiled. He lowered his head between her legs and lapped at her pussy opening. She arched into him and moaned loudly as her juices flowed quickly. He bit her clit and she climaxed and yelled loudly.

  He moved up and pushed his cock into her with one quick thrust. He slowly thrust into her and pinched her nipples as she arched her back to meet him. She rang her fingers down his back and scratched him.

  Sally screamed out as she felt his orgasm coat her walls with his sperm. Her pussy started to quiver as another orgasm hit her body hard.

  They fell together sweet pouring down their bodies. He kissed her and pulled her closely to him. “I hope you never leave me again.” He said to her.

  “I won’t Johnny, I promise. I’ll be beside you the rest of our lives if you want me.” Sally stated.

  “We’ll see this may be a tough few months or years, depending on what happens.” Johnny said.

  “After I’m done at Mr. Samuels I’ll go talk to Mary and see what I can do, she’ll be reasonable I’m sure of it.” Sally said.

  “Like I said, I don’t think she’ll change his story.” Johnny stated.

  “We’ll see.” She replied.

  She didn’t see any reason why Mary wouldn’t listen to reason, and she had known Mary for so long. They had been best friends since they were 4 years old and first met in nursery school. She smiled remembering the good times she had with Mary through the years. However, she knew that Johnny thought Mary wouldn’t budge, Sally had more faith though.

  Sally looked at the time and said, “I have to go and get a quick shower before I leave.” She kissed him. “I’ll see you later Johnny, I love you.”

  “See you later honey, love you too.” Johnny said as he kissed her.

  She ran next door and got her and shower and got dressed. As she drove off she smiled thinking about Johnny. She was positive she would be able to talk Mary into changing her mind and recanting her story. If she did, perhaps the other girls would follow along.

  “Hi Mr. Samuels how are you?” She said as she walked into her old work.

  He smiled at her. “Come back her Sally.” He led the way to his office. “I just need to talk to you about a few things.”

  “Sure no problem.” She answered.

  “Tell me how was Paris, I see you didn’t stay long. You know they say a Nebraska girl will always come home, it’s in their blood!” He laughed.

  “Yes I’ve heard that too. I guess that’s what happened. Paris was okay, but I really missed everyone so much.” Sally said.

  Mr. Samuels rubbed his chin for a second. “I have some bad news though Sally. I think I spoke too quickly in offering you the position. They hired another girl just yesterday for it; I really can’t take you back on.” He explained.

  Sally had known him for years and could tell when he was lying. “Is that the real reason?” She asked. “I mean if it was for something else you could ask me about it, you know I’ve always been honest with you.” She told him.

  “Well I know that Sally and honestly I wish I didn’t have to even ask you about this, but I should. You know we have a reputation we like to keep, as far as the type of people we hire. That can even go for the people that our employees are associated

  with, if you can understand. But I’ve heard rumors that you and the Young boy are hanging out, actually very close. Is that true?” He asked.

  “Well yes, it is true, but what does that have to do with me? He hasn’t even had a trial yet, and he’s innocent.” Sally stated.

  “Sally, I hate to tell you this, but he’s guilty. Everyone knows this, and we can’t have you as the face of our store and be associated with him. It just doesn’t send the right message to our clientele. We’ll surely lose a lot of business, and it would break us. I can offer you the job but only if you aren’t with him. I know you are neighbors and you’ll see one another, but I’m talking about the type of relationship I’ve heard it was. You know people talk in town, and well this isn’t a good business decision for us.” He explained.

  She sighed heavily. “I understand, but I don’t agree with this decision. When everyone finds out the truth and learn he’s not guilty, they’ll change how they are talking. I can’t believe so many people are judging him without the full story.” She said.

  “Perhaps my dear it’s you that hasn’t heard the full story yet. But I’m not the one to tell you. I know you were good friends with Mary Sims; you may want to talk to her about it. When you find out the truth and have left him, then perhaps I can hire you again.” He apologized.

  Sally shook her head. “Really I thought people were better than this.” She walked out of his office, upset and angry.

  “That’s it I’m going to visit Mary now.” Sally said to herself. “This is going to end now. I’m tired of people lying about him.” She smacked her teeth in anger.

  By the time she had reached Mary’s house her anger was boiling over. She knocked on the door and it opened.

  “Oh hi, it’s you.” Mary said. “I heard you were back in town. So did you see Johnny yet? Oh don’t worry I’ve heard all about you and him at the mall. I know why you’re here.” She added.

  “So will you tell the truth?” Sally asked. “I mean as my best friend why would you lie about the man I love?” Sally added.

  “The man you love? Since when? All those years he looked at you with his little puppy dog eyes and you couldn’t give him t
he time of day. You really are something else, you know that Sally.” Mary shouted at her.

  “I think I’ve known it for some time actually, but I realized it once I was gone.” Sally admitted.

  “Is that right, isn’t that nice.” Mary looked at her with eyes that could kill.

  “Look Mary I didn’t come here to fight with you. I just want you to tell the truth and have those charges dropped against Johnny.” Sally explained.

  “You don’t want to know the truth; you want me to tell you he’s innocent. But he’s far from innocent. He broke my trust more than one time and that night was the final night he did it.” Mary stated.

  “How in the world would he break your trust? You set up the party right? He performed for you and your friends, what happened that made you mad?” Sally questioned.

  “Oh so he told you I set it up. I was wondering just how much he would actually tell you of the truth.” Mary laughed.

  “Remember Mary I’ve known you since you were a little girl, I can tell when you lie.” Sally reminded her.

  Mary’s face turned red. “You think you know me so well do you. Well do you know that the whole time I was with Johnny he always talked about you? No you didn’t. I can tell by the look on your face. I bet you didn’t know that he often screamed out your name in his sleep too. I know you two had sex before you left too. He didn’t want to tell me, but he talks in his sleep sometimes.” She stopped to try and regain some of her composure.

  “So you lie on him because he loved me? How does that make any sense?” Sally asked.

  “I’m not done telling you everything. He told me he hated you many times when I talked to him about calling your name out while sleeping. He said he would never go back with you. But I could tell he was seeing you, not me when we had sex.” Mary stated. “That’s what ruined it with us, you and your memory. He called me that last night right in the middle of his orgasm. He yelled out I love you Sally. Can you even imagine what that’s like?” Mary began crying.

  “I’m sorry Mary, I really am.” Sally hugged her friend.

  Mary fell into Sally’s arms and sobbed. “I really thought he loved me and hated you. He had me convinced of it. But then that happened, and all the other girls heard it. Everyone looked at me; I had tried to ignore it. However, someone else asked him what he had said. He didn’t even know he had shouted out your name either. He tried to apologize, said he was under so much stress and all this, all lies. He lied to me the whole time, why shouldn’t I lie now?” Mary stated.

  “Because you’ll ruin his life, his reputation. I couldn’t even get my old job back because of your lies. Why did the other girls go along with you?” Sally asked.

  “I asked them too. Some of them might have backed down during the trial, but just a couple of us would have to keep up the lie. Sally I want to hurt him, it’s not right he lied to me.” Mary said.

  Sally sighed. “I know he hurt you, but really when it comes down to it, I’m just as much to blame as him. But so are you, you knew how he felt about me for all those years. You used to yell at him and tell him to leave me alone. So why would you think it all changed?” Sally asked.

  “I wanted to believe it. He’s really good in bed, and I was all alone. David had broken up with me to move to Colorado. I didn’t have anyone, and Johnny was looking really nice. That Harley of his only adds to his sex appeal. He’d been working out in the gym and well he told me he hated you. I really thought he was being truthful with me.” Mary said again.

  “Mary why can’t you forgive him then? We always wanted the best for each other. I think he’s the best for me. I really never doubt that he will protect me and keep me safe. He makes me happy, and well he’s really a good person.” Sally said.

  “I don’t know Sally, it really hurt to hear him say those words that night. But I guess I could forgive him. I don’t know what the other girls will do. I can talk to them. I’m sorry Sally; I was mean to you when you were in Paris too. But I felt like you were trying to take Johnny, the sad thing is I never even had him even when I thought I did.” Mary cried.

  “Mary, I’m sure you’ll find someone. Heck maybe David will come back home. Look how quickly I made my way back. Maybe it is true what they say about Nebraska people, both girls and guys. We always want to come home, it’s in our blood.” Sally tried to cheer her up.

  “I did love him so much. It was a hard breakup, he didn’t want to go. But he couldn’t find any work here.” Mary said.

  “Why didn’t you go with him?” Sally asked out of curiosity.

  “He didn’t ask me. He just said that it would be far too tough for both of us.” Mary explained.

  “Maybe you should call him and talk to him, have you tried?” Sally asked.

  “No I didn’t I was far too upset about Johnny.” Mary admitted. “I had thought about it but was sure that he had found someone else.” She added.

  “I think you should call him, once you’ve fixed this other mess that is. I’m really sorry Mary, I didn’t mean for you to get hurt. I tried to tell you from Paris, but you wouldn’t listen to me. Then you told me he didn’t like me anymore and he said the same thing. I don’t know it made me very upset.” Sally explained.

  “I think we both wanted something different than what we really needed.” Mary stated.

  “I think so too.” Sally agreed.

  “So tell me about Paris, what was it like?” Mary asked.

  Sally sighed. “It wasn’t what I expected, but well it was my own fault. I was upset and confused from the start; all I could think about was Johnny. But then he turned me down and told me you two were dating. I thought another man there was interested in me, but he wasn’t. He slept with me once and left told me I was just a child.” Sally told Mary about Pierre.

  “Oh so you experienced kind of the same thing. Was he in love with someone else too?” Mary asked.

  “No he just wanted to sleep with me. I think he does it with all the tourists who show up.” Sally stated.

  “Was he at least good looking?” Mary asked.

  Sally told her about Pierre.

  “Oh he sounds cute; at least that’s one good thing!” Mary said.

  “I would have rather skipped the whole experience. But honestly, it was the push I needed to come back home. It must be one of the shortest trips in the history for a student who wanted to study fashion design.” Sally shook her head.

  “Did you go to school at all while you were gone?” Mary questioned.

  “No I couldn’t bring myself to sign up for any classes.” Sally admitted.

  “I’m sorry; I know you’ve wanted to do that for years now. Maybe you can talk Johnny into going later on.” Mary commented.

  “I don’t know, I’ll think about it, or I might just intern with someone in the states. There are several that I wouldn’t mind learning from. But for now I’ll wait and see what happens.” Sally stated. “So you’ll call them and have your charges dropped today?” Sally asked, making sure that Mary would remember.

  “Yes, I’ll do it right now. But I’ll call the other girls after, or they can hear from the DA.” Mary hugged her. “I’m sorry Sally.”

  “Thank you for telling the truth.” Sally got up to leave.

  The first thing she wanted to do was talk to Johnny. She picked up her phone when she stopped at a light.

  She’s going to call and tell them what really happened? Why didn’t you tell me you said you loved me while you two were having sex?

  Sally typed in and hit the send button. “It would have explained so much and she would have known right away what had happened. Not that she would ever accuse someone of rape who didn’t do it, but she would know any female would be hurt. Some would react in ways that perhaps were evil, like Mary did.

  I don’t believe it, wait until my attorney calls me then I’ll know for sure. I think she is lying to you. She’s really good at doing that, if you hadn’t noticed before.

  Johnny responded back.


  Sally shook her head.

  I’ve known her since she was four years old, I know when she lies. I reminded her of that and she knew that I would be able to see through anything she said. Just be happy, she was calling as soon as I left her house.

  She replied.

  We’ll wait and see what happens. What about the other girls?

  His message came back.

  She thinks many of them wouldn’t have even made it through the trial, but she will talk to them. Or maybe she will let the DA do it, she wasn’t really sure. She was embarrassed about it. You know that is something that a female will hate. I hope you never say another person’s name to me.

  She sent back to him.

  Come over, I’m home.

  He sent her. Sally headed to his house. She figured a celebration would happen soon. She didn’t know how long it would be before the DA would tell Johnny’s attorney, but she hoped she was there when he got the news.

  Before she went over to Johnny’s she ran inside to see if her mom was there. Sally wanted to let her know that Mary had admitted Johnny hadn’t done a thing that night, well except upset her. But her mother wasn’t there when she walked in.

  Instead she went over to Johnny’s and knocked on the door. He came and answered the door, and gave her a hug and a kiss.

  “Welcome home.” He smiled.

  “Well close enough to home right.” She smiled back at him.

  Johnny got down on one knee and looked at her. He pulled a small box out of his pocket. “Sally Leach would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” He asked her.

  She felt her knees get weak. “Oh my goodness, I wasn’t expecting this. Yes I will marry you Johnny Young.” She said.

  “Are you sure? Just in case Mary doesn’t call the DA, or one of the other girls goes through with the charges.” Johnny asked.

  “Mary can testify that you didn’t rape any of them, right? So why would we have to worry about it?” Sally asked.
