That "next time" turned out to be the following Friday morning. I could hear my parents go over their luggage once more. They were headed interstate for a conference - they both work for the same games development company and they have enough flexibility with their hours so that one of them can look after me - and wouldn't be back until Sunday the following week, a whole nine days. Apparently they wanted to also have a holiday and (I guessed) relive their honeymoon. That and I doubt there's much in Las Vegas for a 14 year old kid to be interested in. Well... nothing that I could get at legally, at least.
Since it was summer holidays, they'd asked Rayne to look after me while they were gone and she could invite friends over if she wanted. She'd also have free-reign over the house and use the pool whenever she wanted, along with the TV and any of the gaming consoles around the house (like I said; my parents work for a games development company, is it any surprise they'd have the latest consoles?).
Fortunately, my parents hadn't discovered what happened between me and Rayne on her last visit the week before; my prediction that they wouldn't get back til ten in the morning had been right and getting up at about half-past six gave me plenty of time to put the sheets through the wash and drier. I'd also managed to conceal my enthusiasm over Rayne's next visit, though that was somewhat harder to do on Friday, when I knew she'd be here that day. So, after breakfast, I'd started up my computer and found a game of Supreme Commander to both pass the time and to take my mind off any pants-tightening memories or thoughts.
That had been two and a half hours ago and I was still at that same game; the enemy players having formed an almost impenetrable defence and what damage we could do with each attack was repaired by the time our next wave of units arrived. At the three hour mark; we finally started making progress (albeit slow progress) when I heard a knock at the door.
Rayne had arrived and mum invited her in, thanking her for doing this and repeating her promise of double her usual fee due to how long she'd be staying.
