Chapter One
It’s My Birthday

There was no sisterly bond like that of Jean and her sister Ashley; from the very beginning, they always shared a kind of a connection. Others thought it was remarkable that they can finish each other’s sentences. They can always tell when the other is calling, and they can tell when there is something wrong with the other. The most remarkable part was they were not even twins. Jean is a tall beautiful blue-eyed straight haired blonde-haired woman. Ashley is 26 years old, she is tall and thin she has big round blue eyes she looks almost identical to her little sister except she has shorter hair about shoulder length. Ashley and Jeans parents are the Mr. and Mrs. Townie. Yes the Mr. and Mrs. Townie, the owners of the largest Oil Refineries in the world! Having the wealthiest parents in the world Jean and Ashley never had the want for anything they were spoiled little brats. They received the best education money could buy. They also hired the best bodyguards money could buy for their children while they were away at school. Mr. and Mrs. Townie was constantly receiving threats on their children’s life’s because well to be quite honest Mr. Townie did not get so wealthy being nice. He was a tyrant a mean spirited tyrant. He wasn’t known for generosity, he has never donated anything for any purpose other than medical purposes. Like for cancer resource and diabetics resource and the only reason he donated to those was incase anyone in his family ever got sick. He never donated anything without gaining something in return.


It was June 16th 1990, the morning was hot but breezy not a cloud in the sky the morning had the potential to be a wonderful day. She was 21 years old today. Jean had a date with her sister and their parents. Every year on her birthday, they would get together and have lunch at a fancy restaurant. As lame at this may sound, she looks forward to it. She barely gets to see her parents because they are always out of the country on some sort of business. Her sister was too wrapped up in her life with a new boyfriend to spend much time with her even though they live in the same apartment building. Their parents own the building and it is a brown vinyl siding duplex. Their home resided on a busy city street. In this building is where our story will start.


Jean arose out of bed like every other morning. Before she even showers, she makes a pot of coffee. She gets the mug, milk, and sugar ready so she does not have to scrabble to make her cup. When the pot of coffee had finished, she poured the coffee into the mug and adds a splash of milk with 5 spoonfuls of sugar. She drinks about 2 cups before she actually starts her day. Like a programmed robot, she drinks her coffee then heads to the bathroom to take a shower. She walks into her bathroom; it is white with cute little rubber ducks as wallpaper trim and fuzzy white floor carpets under the toilet and in front of the shower. She undress then turns on the water, then next walks over to the sink and looks into the mirror she takes down her hair and brushes her hair. Then she gets into the shower. She begins to wash her hair when she hears a knock on the door. “KNOCK KNOCK”.


She opens the shower shade and screams “Hold on I be their in a minute” she hurries and finishes her hair. She gets out the shower, wraps a towel around her, and walks to the door.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me,” replies the voice from the other side of the door. Jean knew the voice it was her sister. Jean opens the door to welcome her sister in her home. Their on the other side of the door stood her sister in a beautiful blue dress with her hair up in a French twist and black high heel shoes. Ashley was standing in the doorway with her hands behind her back.

“Well we going to just stand here or are you going to let me in already?”

“Oh right come in.”

Ashley walks carefully by Jean and enters the apartment. Jean notices the bag in Ashley’s hand.
“What’s in the bag?” Jean asks while curiously nudging at the bag.

Ashley smiles while pulling the bag closer to her.
“Well, I figured you probably didn’t have anything to wear for our dinner date so I got you a little something”

She hands the bag over to her sister. Jean opens the bag and looks inside. She sees a black fabric she reaches in to grab the black fabric she carefully pulls it out and unfolds it she looks at it and presses it against her to see how it looks. It was a beautiful black long dress.


Jean has a huge smile on her face. “Let me go put it on” she turns and walks down the little hallway to the end then turns right into her bedroom. She sits on the bed and unzips the dress. She then began to slip it over her head and stood up to let if fall down her body. The dress fits perfectly.

“Ashley come here” says Jean “and help me zip it up”.

“Ok Hun I’ll be right their” replied Ashley.

Ashley walks into the bedroom and sees Jean looking into the mirror with the dress on. “Ashley can you zip this for me?” asked Jean.

“Yea, Sure.” she replies while walking across the room and around the bed which was in the center of the room against the wall nearest to the door. When she reaches Jean, she ruffles with the dress then begins to zip the dress up.

“OK done” says Ashley.

“Great thanks” replies Jean while twirling in the mirror to see how the dress looks.

“It looks great on you,” says Ashley.

“Yea I know I need a good pair of high heels to match” replies Jean.

“I seen a nice pair of black lace up that would go great with this dress in your closet the last time I was here” Ashley turns to the closet and opens the door, she then turns left to the shoe rack and scans the rack with her eyes to find the pair.

“Ah there they are” then she reaches to the fourth row third compartment and grabs the black lace up high heel shoes. Next, she turns to her sister and hands them to her. Jean grabs the pair of shoes from Ashley, and then takes a few steps to her bed, sits down to put on her shoes. She laces them up left foot first then stands to admire how they look.

“Perfect match” says Ashley.

Jean smiles and replies, “I know I look great don’t I? So do you know where mom and dad are taking us?”

“No, you know dad it has to be a surprise,” replies Ashley.

“Would you like some coffee I just made it 10-20 minutes ago?” Asks Jean.

“Yes I would, I have not had a chance to grab a drink yet” replies Ashley.

Jean walks out of her bedroom to the kitchen and Ashley follows. Jean grabs a mug from her cabinet and returns to the counter to make the cup when Ashley interrupts “No Jean I’ll make it just go and do your hair”

Jean replies, “Ok thanks it will be just a minute”. Jean walks to the bathroom to fix her hair.

While in the kitchen, Ashley makes her coffee and walks into the living room to sit on the couch. She looks around for the remote but could not find it so she puts her coffee down on a coaster and turns the television manually and turns the channel to MTV then returns to her seat. There is this rap video with a bunch of girls shaking their asses and rubbing up against the rappers.

Ashley takes one look at the girls and says, “MTV sucks now” says Ashley. “All the girls in the video’s have 2 things in common ONE A BIG BUTT, TWO EVEN BIGGER TITTIES. It is a shame what some women do just for their ten minutes of fame really.”

Jean yells from the bathroom cutting her off and says, “Yea, YA I know but if you don’t like it then why are you watching it?”

Ashley laughs and says, “Because I know good music when I hear it. I just wish they cleaned up their video’s a bit.”

Jean replies “HA A bit, yea right I know you want them to wear shorts that stop right above their knees and no shorter you have always had issues with nudity.”

“No not with nudity, I have no problem with nudity the problem I have is with the bodies that look better then mine.” Ashley says while laughing.

Jean lets out a chuckle then says, “So then me going nude is out of the question then”

Ashley laughs and replies, “No I said better then mine”

“You Bitch” Jean replies laughing while walking out of the bathroom.

“So how do I look?” Jean Asks.

“Amazing Sis.” replies Ashley.

Jean looks at the clock on the wall and says “Oh look at the time it is already 2:30pm we should get going outside because you know how dad hates to wait”

“Yea you are right we better go wait outside for them.” Ashley continues to sip the rest of her coffee.

“So what do you want to do after we have dinner with them?” asks Jean.

“Not sure yet, I knew we would just finish the night with a home movie like we usually do.”

“Well I guess we do have a few hours to decide what we will do after.”

Ashley finishes her coffee, stands up from the couch, walks into the kitchen, and places the cup into the sink. “Are you ready to go outside Jean?”

“Yes I am I was waiting for you to finish your coffee first.” Jean follows Ashley out the door grabbing her purse off the table before exiting the apartment. She locks the door before leaving. Then starts walking down the hallway, it was a short wide hallway with pictures of flowers and fruit on both sides of the walls and a brown thin carpet in the middle of the floor leading all the way to the front door.

Ashley walks outside first and Jean is five steps behind her. Ashley holds the door for Jean. Jean locks the door behind her and turns around expecting to see her mom and dad in their normal black limousine waiting for them in the driveway but instead sees a black BMW with a giant ribbon tied around it. She was happy and sad all at the same time. Ashley on the other hand was anything but disappointed she hated the little dinner dates, she would be much happier to spend the day with just Jean.

Before Jean can, say or move Ashley skips down the driveway to get a closer look at the car. “It is great come look inside” she says with excitement.

Jean slowly walks down the stairs and the driveway towards the car and the meaning of the present starts to seep in ‘Her parents are not coming’ Jean thought to her self. When Jean reached the car, she saw a card that attached to a bow. She reaches in and grabs the card off the ribbon. She tears the card open and pulls out the card. On the front of the card was a picture of a birthday cake and the words Happy 21st Birthday on the top of the card. She opened the card and read the message.

Happy Birthday Darling,

Sorry your father and I cannot make it this year for your birthday. I know you look forward to it every year but me and dad had to go away on business so I wanted to make sure you at least got a great present. Enjoy it! I am so sorry we could not make it home in time for your Birthday but I made sure the car lot could deliver it first thing so you could have all day to enjoy your present.

Again, we are Sorry,
Mom &Dad

“Look at this” says Jean. She throws the letter to Ashley.

Ashley opens the letter to read it. “I figured as much- I mean if they were coming they would want to see you face when you saw the car and their absence means they were not coming.” She pauses for a minute and continues “Oh well why should their absence cause you to have a bad birthday?”

Jean looks inside the car before replying. It had black leather seats, it was an automatic, and it had a 4-disk CD changer and a decent speaker system. The dashboard was so clean it had a shine. It was indeed a great car. “It shouldn’t your right Ashley lets go have fun!”

“Great let’s see what this baby can do”

Jean jumps in the passenger side and Jean in the driver’s side of the car. Jean starts the car and turns on the radio. “Where to Ashley?”

“Let’s go have dinner.”

“Ok how about the Grand Golem Restaurant it just opened last week and it looks like a really good place.”

“Sounds like a plan lets go.”

They backed out of the driveway and turned right at the beginning of the street on to Main Street. They continued straight for about 3 miles.

“So what do you want to do after the Restaurant?” asked Jean.

“Well I thought maybe we would go back home and watch a few movies then go dancing,” said Ashley “What do you think?”

“Sounds good to me.”

They turned right onto Fellowship Road then 3 blocks down they turned left onto Ridge Street and continued straight for 6 blocks and pulled in parking lot on the right they parked as close to the restaurant as they could without illegally parking.

Ashley opens the door first, then turns to Jean, and says, “Now it is time for a sexy entrance, watch the master at work.”

Jean chuckles and watches Ashley. Ashley gets out the car left foot first then right foot she puts her purse on her shoulder and gets up out of the car slowly.

“Ha you call that an entrance? Watch and learn.” Jean pulls her dress up to expose her legs, she shifts her body left and slowly drops one leg at a time then scoots to the edge of the seat and slowly gets out of the car and her dress falls flowing back down her body then she fluffs her hair and closes the door. Then she uses her sexiest walk and walks around the car to meet her sister. No guy in eye view could take his eyes off her.

She turns to Ashley and says, “Now that is an entrance.”

They both started to laugh and walked towards the restaurant. When they walked up to the double doors Jean opened one and held it so Ashley could enter. Ashley closed the door behind her. Their was a long hallway with violet carpet and matching wall paint, with pictures of food, and celebrities that ate at the restaurant.

Then they walked up to the concierge looking somewhat nervous. “How many in your party? Asks the Concierge.

“Um just 2” Jean points to Ashley then herself.

“Names please” asked the concierge while looking at one girl to the next slowly.

“Townie Jean or Ashley Townie” Replied Ashley leaning forward seductively towards the concierge.

The concierge scans his list then replies, “Sorry I don’t have any Townies on my list.”

“Come on just this once, it’s my 21st Birthday.”

“Sorry but I can’t do anything rules are rules madam.”

Ashley starts to show her fathers attitude and says “Let me speak to your supervisor I am sure your boss would like to know you are refusing service to an important client as our family!”

The concierge does not get scared he replies, “Sorry madam but I can not stretch the rules no matter what your name is unless the boss tells me to.”

Ashley Raises her voice and says, “Listen, Get me your boss or it will be your JOB!”

“Madam I am going to have to ask you to leave”

“Leave, you have got to me kidding!”

Someone came out of the dinning area and I walking up through the hall to the concierge area.
“What is going on here Larry?” asks the man.

“Sorry sir but these ladies want to dine here but they do not have a reservation.”

The man turns to Ashley and Jean and says, “Oh Hi girls how are your mom and dad?”

“Mom and Dad are away on business and today is my birthday so I thought we would come and visit your fine restaurant but this rude man has given us nothing but problems since we walked in!” replied Jean.

“Oh really” says the Owner with a disappointing look he turns to the concierge and says, “These girls reservation or not are always welcome in this restaurant do you understand me?”

“Yes Sir Sorry about this, I did not know.”

“Well then ask next time you should make sure and ask.”

“Ok Sir”

The Owner turns to the girls and says, “This way let me seat you girls.”

“Ok great.” They follow his to the far right of the dinning room near a window and he sits them. The waiter will be right with you to get your drinks and take your order. Again, girls I am sorry.

“It is ok no harm no fowl good day to you sir.”

He bows to them and walks away.

“Do you believe that guy would not let us in?” asks Ashley.

“Not everyone knows how famous you are” Jean says laughing.

“Yea I guess your right,” she says laughing.

“Hi my name is Brandon and I will be your waiter for this evening.” the waiter hand them a menu then says, “what can I get you ladies to drink.”

“Well how about 2 martinis with a twist.” says Ashley.

The waiter writes it down and says “Coming right up.” He turns toward Jean and smiles then turns and walks away.

“Jean did you see that? He totally tried to hit on you!”

Jean smiles and says “Really? I didn’t even notice.”

“But anyway that is not why we are here; we are here to spend my birthday together.”

“Oh come on, you have not had a boyfriend since Denny. Don’t you miss the connection with the opposite sex?”

“No, I don’t miss catching my boyfriend having sex with some slut in our bed!” she pauses for a second and continues, “Men are more trouble then they are worth.”

“Not all men, My Eric is a wonderful man.,” said Ashley

With a cocky tone Jean replies “Yea well good for you, not all men are like your Sweet Eric” Then she picks up the menu to decide what she wants to eat so does Ashley.

They read the menu for a few minutes then the waiter comes back with their drinks.

“Two martini’s with a twist.” The waiter puts one glass in front of Ashley and the other in front of Jean.
“Are you ladies ready to order?” asked the waiter.

“Yes I will have a Filet Minion medium rare with mash potatoes and corn,” said Jean

“I will have the same,” replied Ashley.

“Coming right up” replied the waiter. Again, he smiles at Jean and walks away but this time Jean noticed he smiled at her.

Ashley saw Jean was blushing and said, “I saw that.”

“Saw what?” replied Jean.

“You were blushing, I thought you did not care he checked you out?” said Ashley.

“I don’t” she replied turning slightly pink.

Ashley just smiles and takes a sip of her martini. About 15 to 20 minutes have passed since they ordered their meals.

Jean looks up at the wall clock in the dinning area and says, “This is the only thing I hate about restaurants, they take forever to get you your food and I am starving.”

After a few more minutes, the waiter returned with their meals. He places Jeans meal in front of her then Ashley’s in front of her. “Can I get you another drink?”

“Yes but I will have Cola instead.” replied Jean.

“Yes same here” Ashley Added.

“Ok I will be right back.,” the waiter said then he turned and walked back to the back of the dinning room to fetch the drinks.

Jean looks down at the food and says, “Smells Good, Shall we then?”

“Yes, First I want to say happy birthday.”

Interrupting Ashley Jean says “No don’t you dare think about embarrassing me by announcing it is my” she lowers her head and her voice and whispers “my birthday.”

“Oh no way I forgot that they come out and sing to you.” Ashley continues, “HAHAHA sorry sis this is a right of passage mom and dad did it to me”

“Come on Ashley don’t please!”

“Ok I won’t.” Ashley replied with an innocent look on her face.

“thanks.” the waiter is walking back to the table with the drinks and Jean says to Ashley “Don’t do it!”

“I won’t” she replies smiling.

The waiter places the colas down on the table and picks up their empty glasses and before leaving again, he says, “Is their anything else I can get for you?”

“No” says Jean.

The waiter turns around and takes one-step and Ashley says, “There is one thing.”

“DON’T,” Jean added firmly.

The waiter turns and replies, “What can I get for you?”

“Well it is Jeans 21st Birthday today and I thought it would be a shame if she did not get the nice embarrassing happy birthday song.” Ashley said with a satisfying smile on her face.

“I can not believe you did that!” said Jean.

“Oh shut up we will be laughing about this later,” Ashley said while taking a sip of her cola.

“Your probably right you bitch.” replied Jean while laughing.

Another 15 minutes passed before the waiter came back to their table with the check. They paid the bill plus 20 percent and left.
