Chapter 27: Bikini Shopping with Chasity Calix 

My elder brother Felix thought he was Chasity’s first kiss. Nope. Not technically. Technically, I  was. 

Past New Year’s Eve Calix 

I loved New Year’s Eve almost as much as I loved Christmas / was seventeen and this NYE, my girlfriend, Junie, was eager to ring in the New Year’s with a Good Luck kiss at midnight. Junie had pursued me relentlessly. She was a cheerleader. She was on the debate team. She was on the dance committee and in the honour society. She was ambitious and she was aggressive when it came to getting what she wanted. To be honest, she reminded me of my Mom a little Sometimes, that creeped me out. Mom loved Junie. 

“Maybe, she’s your mate. You’ll know in a year when you come of age How great would that be! Mom had asked. 

As il Junie and / would last a whole year. Frankly speaking. Junie was kind of insensitive She was also so insanely jealous. She was jealous of almost every other member of the cheerleader squad for one reason or another. Avril was a “stuck-up know-it-all” for getting better grades than Junie. Sicily was a “bossy b***h”when she made captain and Junie WJS second in command Amanda was “immature and manly” for bench-pressing more than Junie at gym and teasing her about it. 

“Mom, please, Calix is on a roll here. He’s trying to date the whole calendar!” Felix had said. “April, May, Junie. When July or Julia comes knocking, Junie is done for!” 

It was true. I had exes named April and May but I had dated May before April and then Junie. It was a coincidence and Junie was short for Juniper. It was just a nickname Felix was one to talk. He changed girlfriends faster than me. He had a new “main squeeze” every six weeks. Some of my relationships lasted three months. Alex’s relationships ended around the two month mark. There was not a lot of incentive to get serious with a girl who might not be our mate. How awful would it be to be in years-long relationships and have to end them when our fated mate came along. For that reason, I wasn’t hard on my brothers or myself when it came to our inability to commit (for right now). 

Back to the party: Mom was in her glee, greeting guests and ordering the servers about. Chasity was one of the servers. Mom had lent her a pretty dress. It shimmered with every move she made. Chasity caught me staring at her and I did not look away. Junie was hanging off of my arm. Chasity disappeared after a while. Where had she gone? / wandered up the stairs. I heard my Mom’s voice. 

“Where is that girl?” Snapped Mom. 

Chasity quickly appeared. She had been in her tiny bedroom. I wished they would give her a better place to sleep. I wondered about Mom sometimes. She was great to me but she had this…this mean-streak where Chasity was concerned. Why? Where did it come from? 

Mom glared at Chasity. I could not help but admire the way Chasity’s dark gold ringlets shone and bounced every time she turned her head. 

“You know you’re supposed to be helping downstairs,” said Mom sternly. Felix and Alex came out of nowhere, almost as if they’d been looking for Chasity too. “I heard the housekeeper send her on a break,” said Felix, actually defending Chasity. 

I was pleasantly surprised. I was usually the only one who defended her. “She didn’t just run off like usual,” Felix added. 

groaned. He just had to add an ofthanded comment. Alex was staring at Chasity a lot less discreetly than / was. 

“I like this colour,” said Alex, smiling at Chasity. 

“Yeah, me too,” said Felix, gently extending a hand and trailing his fingertips along the material. Chasity backed away from him. He sneered at her. 

Something came over me suddenly. I wanted to get Chasity away from my Mom, and Felix and even Alex. I felt her discomfort like it were my own. / walked over to them. 

“Chasity, I have work for you to do.” / lied. 

Mom, Felix and Alex looked shocked but they did not protest. / motioned for Chasity to follow me. It was about four minutes to midnight. I took Chasity to the back porch, the one that faced the frozen river. / could see it in the distance. We had a huge backyard with a river with an ice-fishing hole / tried not to think of the horrid memory surrounding that hole in theice It was winter six months a year here in the north of wolf country. We had two months each of spring summer and autumn Autumn was too cold for swimming. The water’s surface was not frozen our bich in all but the water was very cold. It still felt like daggers if you fell in. Our autumn was much colder than auturintother regions. Spring and summer were the only times one could actually go switing but Charity avoided the backyard like a plague. My brothers and I had not felt the same about it since the incident erther. No one really swam out there anymore, not even Mom and Dad. Our girlfriends were always trying to convince my brothers and me to take them swimming out back. We always refused and we kept quiet doout why. Only six people alive knew the real reason. 

I looked at Chasity. She looked more beautiful than ever with the moonlight shining on her. She shivered and hugged herselt. 

“Here,” / said, placing my blazer around her shoulders.
