Anyway, eventually time ran out and the guards started to herd us all back to our cells. It was getting dark outside, I could see through the skylight, but it was hard to tell what time it was. The stress from the day was wearing me out. I stood behind McKenzie as we went up the stairs, so I wouldn’t get lost. Eventually we, and all the other girls on the block, were shuffled into our cells and the door slammed behind us.
“I usually sleep on the top bunk,” McKenzie said, letting her hair out its ponytail and shaking it out, “If you don’t mind.”
“No, I’ll take the bottom,” I said. McKenzie nodded and then quickly took off her shirt and pants. She was just wearing her bra and panties now. I’d seen her wearing less, as you probably remember, but it was sort of embarrassing to see her again. But she didn’t wait around for me to be embarrassed. She just jumped up onto the top bunk, grabbed a book, and shimmied under the covered.
“Goodnight,” I said, awkwardly. She looked down at me and gave me a knowing smile.
“You get used to routines and everything. This is always what I do when lock-up first happens. I read, then I fall asleep. I’m not trying to be rude.”
“No, I didn’t think so,” I said, I felt like I was rude. Like I was intruding on her space or something.
“Just try to take it easy, the first day is the hardest. This place isn’t as bad as you think it is,” she said soothingly and then went back to reading. I took off my pants and shirt, now only wearing my bra and panties. I thought I saw McKenzie catch a glimpse of me out of the corner of her eye. Then I climbed into bed.
I sat there, staring at the spot in the bed above me where McKenzie’s ass was pushing down the mattress, for a long time. I tried to process everything that happened that day and tried to imagine what 15 years of this was going to be like. I felt like crying, but I didn’t let myself. After an hour or two (not sure how long) the lights clicked off and I heard McKenzie close her book.
Then I lay there, in the dark, even longer. All of my fears sort of rolled around in my head, getting bigger and scarier with each passing second. Each new thought heightened my tension, and I got farther and farther from sleep. I tried tossing and turning, but I couldn’t get comfortable. I thought about my parents, how disappointed they’d be in me, and I thought about Bethany Barber. I was in hell.
I was so distressed I didn’t hear McKenzie climbed down from the top bunk. I didn’t notice her until her hand was on my forehead. I sort of went rigid; not knowing what I was feeling at first, then I opened my eyes and saw her smiling at me. She stroked my forehead again, and I felt a bit better.
“I told you the first night was the worst,” she said in a hushed voice, barely above a whisper, “But I promise it will get better. And I will help.”
“Thank you McKenzie,” I said, “I have no idea how I got lucky enough to meet you here.”
“Most people are nice here, it is just that we’ve all made mistakes. There aren’t many really mean or violent people. In this prison,” she said, “Before this place opened I was in a regular prison. That was scary. This is a vacation by comparison. Now what is bothering you so bad? You’re rolling around like a crazy person down here,” she said, sitting down on the bed near my legs. I smiled.
“Just can’t sleep,” I replied. She nodded knowingly.
“Yeah, I almost didn’t sleep my first night either,” she said. “But I found a little trick that helps me fall asleep every time.”
“What?” I asked.
“I could just show you…” she said and I nodded emphatically. She smiled brightly then stood up from the bed. She got down on her knees on the floor. First, she reached behind her back and quickly unbuttoned her bra. She let the bra slide off and her large breasts sort of tumbled out. I’d seen them from a distance, but they were so much prettier close up. I didn’t know what she was doing, but I felt a stirring between my legs. She was so pretty. But I wanted to stop her. I mean, I thought she was gorgeous and everything, but like I was way out of my depth here. I was scared and I was confused. But I was too mesmerized to move. I just sort of opened and closed my mouth like a fish and stared at her beautiful body.
She leaned into me; I could feel the heat of her body. First, he face was directly in front of mine. My eyes were wide open; I was sort of in shock. She didn’t say a word she just closed her eyes, leaned into me, and kissed me on the lips. Her lips were soft and soon my eyes closed as I melted into her pillowy flesh. I felt her tongue run against my own lips, and I opened my mouth, letting her tongue dip into my mouth. She kissed me softly, but aggressively, pushed her warm tongue into my mouth. She probed my teeth and ran her tongue all over mine. Her saliva was thick and sweet and I didn’t want the kiss to end. I could feel my cock harden in my panties, and for some reason I was afraid she’d notice.
