Ryan wanted to open the present desperately , curiosity building yet Sarah's question hunk in the air. It was a question he'd asked himself several times already to day and in truth each answer hid been slightly different.<br/><br/>"It feels weird , you know, like I'm closer to turning twenty than I was to turning televe, I guess before the disappearance sixteen would have been a big milestone for me, I mean I could now learn to drive but already can, and I could become a cadet, my dad had promised that I was..." emotion hit him as it did every now and then, but he fought it back, the struggle on his face for several moments. Be a big boy now , his father would say when ever he had to leave...would the old man now say..be a man....be a man the words echoed in his mind.<br/><br/>"My father would say I'm a man now and I think a part of that's right, but not completely...turning sixteens a bit weird, everything seems so heighten, in one way I still want to be a kid, you now, I mean as much of a kid as I've been able to be, and yet I want to be ...I don't know....." he felt he was really about to dive into dangerous territory here, it felt like his words now would change much and it scared Ryan more than a little.<br/><br/>"...I guess, I want to be more involved in decisions , I mean don't get me wrong you both are really cool you let me know whats going on and involve me, and you let me get away with so much " his eyes smiled" however its always been your decisions , I'm sorry this is coming out wrong , I guess I just want to be more involved in the decision making. " His father had been the head of the household, a good man but very much a traditional man and while times had changed it was a family model most ingrained into Ryan...at some point he would impose himself as head of the household, it might be years before he did..but not many years.<br/><br/>Ryan blushed " Theres something else, something I guess I would have expected to have by now if the disappearance hadn't happened, and sixteen kinda has brought the whole thing into focus...."do you think there are girls out there" in truth that wasn't want he wanted to really say, what he wanted to know was when one or both these woman would take him...take his virginity form him...so far they weren't doing what his minds eye wanted them to...in his mind they tore off their tops unhooked bras and pushed down jeans revealing prefect bodies as they climbed over the table begging him to fuck them....Ryan shook his head as reality came back into focus and Ashley and Sarah remained disappointingly ....clothed.
