B.L. Davenport

Luke sighed and shook his head saying "What'd I do now? And why was Luther after you, Cooter and BL like he was gonna beat ya all to death with the bible?" Lori glared at him she wasn't in the mood to be sidetracked from her original thought. "Don't change the subject" Luke sighed he just couldn't win........

She swallowed hard and looked down to her music, the director gave her the chords and she began the solo part, the choir coming in and joining her in the next part the rest of the congregation joining in as well. Luther kept right on glaring at Lori and shaking the bible it made her a little nervous he was still sure enough mad from last night. Usually the Duke cousins and the Davenport cousins all sat on the back bench together with some of the other teenagers. Not this sunday Luther had made Cooter, B.L and Dixie set with him and Jesse had done the same that way they could all be kept out of trouble. There would be no whispering and passing notes during the sermon this week.

Rosco returned them home meeting Luther at the front porch suddenly all B.L's bravado when she'd snuck out was gone and she stood slightly behind Cooter but still in plain view quaking in her boots. Luther glared at them his face red as a beet. Rosco laughed his goofy laugh and said "Khee Kee Luther I don't know what these young'uns is upto but I caught 'em speedin'. I coulda took 'em to jail but figured you'd handle it just as well and we wouldn't have to bother nobody else this time of night." Luther: "Thank you for bringing them home Rosco I'll see to it they learn the err of their ways." After Rosco left Luther just stood there glaring daggers through the two miscreants and started taking off his belt again. B.L had tears streaming down her face and was shaking her head she didn't want two whippin's in one night one was more than enough. "I thought I told you two to go to bed when you came sneaking in the first time. I see you didn't and decided to disobey me." Without another word between them Luther whipped them both again right then and there on the front porch for anybody who drove up to see. Then sent them in the house to bed and this time they went.

Luke in his boxers got up and opened the window helping Lori inside he then wrapped a blanket around her shoulders to get her warm. Sitting on the bed beside her he rubbed his hands up and down her arms and asked quietly so they wouldn't wake Bo. "What's wrong darlin' why're you here?" Lori looked to look and sniffed he handed her a handkerchief and wiped the tears streaming down her face with his tumbs. "Luther kicked me out he threatened to call the State if I didn't get outta there right quick so grabbed my stuff and here I am." Luke kissed her forehead and hugged her close rubbing her back.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at the Davenport farm things were quiet Cooter, B.L and Dixie were afraid to so much as stick their noses out of their rooms. B.L was still fuming at the way Luther had kicked Lori out. She opened her window and prepared to sneak out just as Cooter opened her door and hissed quietly. "Where in the Devil are you going? Dad'll whip you again." B.L. shrugged and looked back at Cooter one leg in the window and one leg out. "I'm going after Lori what Uncle Luther did ain't right and if he whips me again then so be it but I can't just let her go she ain't got nowhere to go." Cooter: "Wait I'll come with you" B.L: "Ain't you afraid you'll get another whippin?" Cooter shrugged and went back to his room to put on his clothes before coming back to B.L's room the two of them sneaking out the window.....

B.L sat in the middle of the seat and looked at Luke then Cooter and stated what they all already knew. "Droopy catches us and the sh** gonna hit the fan. Cooter Uncle Luther'll kill us no questions asked if we call in the middle of the night cos we're in jail in another county." Cooter nodded frowning they'd be safer UNDER the jail than they would be let go into Luther's custody. Luke.....

B.L's mouth fell open hearing Lori's answer "GIRL YOU DON'T KNOW THE MEANING OF SCREWED YET! When Uncle Luther finds out your running shine for Boss Hogg he's gonna turn you every which way but loose!" Luke put his hand on B.L's shoulder to quieten her tirade now was not the time to bawl Lori out if Rosco came along Lori might get away cos she was running for Boss but himself, Cooter and BL would surely be on their way to the hoosegow and that would not make Luther or Jesse happy.

B.L had arrived at Andy's house to find his parents were still gone on their second honeymoon. She let herself in the house and looked around not seeing him anywhere she decided to go to his room to wait she had to get back home earlier than expected to help Cooter and Luke run 'errands' for Uncle Jesse tonight. She opened his door and found him in bed with Hailey Marie Henderson. Andy looked up with a stupified grin as B.L came in and slurred "ooh lucky me two fer one" B.L saw red and flew mad at the sight of Hailey on top of Andy she grabbed a shoe and chunked it at them and screamed "YOU B**** get the H*** out of this house!" Hailey dodged the shoe and jumped up grabbing her clothes and getting dressed faster than she'd ever got dressed before B.L worried her a little she slipped past B.L and looked back at Andy smiling "We'll finish this later honey." After Hailey was gone B.L looked to Andy fire in her eyes and let loose on him cussing at the top of her lungs and throwing everything she could lay her hands on at him. He did his best to dodge it but he was just a little too tipsy to be completely successful and B.L's 'missles' hit dead on target several times. B.L turned to leave and Andy scrambled out of bed grabbing her "Baby wait it ain't what you think!" B.L: "Oh then what is it?" B.L spat sarcastically and turned to leave again but couldn't because Andy had her by the arm when she jerked it the sleeve of her long sleeved denim shirt ripped out a little at the shoulder, making her stagger a little almost losing her balance. Andy took advantage of this and grabbed her kissing her hard on the lips when he let go she slapped him and stomped out of the house getting in her car heading for home, screaming as she exited the house. "IT'S OVER BETWEEN US ANDY I THOUGHT THE RUMORS WERE LIES AND I COULD TRUST YOU GUESS NOT!!!!" B.L came tearing into the driveway kicking up dirt and dust, got out of her car and went inside not even paying attention to the fact Cooter and Dixie were sitting there she was too mad.

Uncle Jesse nodded and pointed toward the barn telling Lori "Ya know where they are help yaself darlin'" Lori: "Thanks Uncle Jesse" Lori headed off to the barn to get the jugs and crates and Luke followed to 'help' her get them. In the barn he whirled her around and leaned her up against the barn wall kissing her passionately. Lori wrapped her arms around his neck as they kissed. After a few minutes she said "I'd better get these crates and jugs and head on home B.L and Dixie are waitin' fer me to get back and help clean the house." Luke nodded 'ok' and helped her load the stuff into Midnight kissing her one more time waving her off. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the Davenport farm Cooter was hard at work on the woodpile doing his best to stay out of Luther's way. The last thing he wanted this morning was to get yelled at he was still tired from being up all night last night. Luther meantime had went to the garage while the cousins did their chores before their 'run' tonight. It was a big one so none of them would much sleep they'd be out most of the night if not all night......

When the sun arose B.L bounced cheerily into Lori's room and on the bed jostling it now normally she'd pounce right on top of Lori but everybody was still afraid Lori'd 'break' so instead she jostled the bed. Lori had only been dozing a short while and opened her eyes glaring at B.L and mumbled "Go 'way B I'm sick" B.L grinned wickedly and chirped "The only thing wrong with YOU cousin is ya stayed up all night doin' it with Luke." Lori pushed B.L off the bed unexpectedly and she hit the floor with a resounding thump but wasn't bothered by it today she was having too much fun aggrevating Lori. Beverly groaned sleepily and looked at the two cousins. B.L raised her eyebrows and looked at Beverly then Lori then back to Beverly. "I'm gonna take a stab in the dark here but I'm assuming Cooter didn't sleep neither and that's why Bev is in YOUR bed." Lori gave B.L an impish grin and nodded well that was all B.L needed she pushed herself up off the floor and ran toward Cooter's room. She didn't get to have any fun last night and she'd be danged if the two cousin's that did got to sleep any today. Crashing in Cooter's room she DID pounce on him right smack dab in the middle of his stomach. He groaned from under the covers. "Mornin' cousin did ya have fun last night?" He pushed the cover off his face only revealing one menacing eye and grumbled. "What're you so perky about today?" B.L grinned sitting astride his stomach and said "Weeelll ya see I had me a good night's sleep last night and it's a beautiful day outside." Cooter glared at her annoyed with her rude awakening and gave her a mighty heave rolling her off into the floor covering his head back up to go back to sleep. B.L laughed and got up off the floor leaving Cooter's room Luther would get them up soon enough her work here was done. Now she wanted to talk to Dixie about her and Bo's night see how things went....... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the Duke farm Jesse came into Bo and Luke's room going to Luke's bed shaking his shoulder. "Time ta get up Luke and start the chores, get Bo up too will ya." Luke groaned and pushed back the cover it was going to be a looong day........

When she arrived home B.L pounced interrogating Lori... "What is wrong with you? I never thought I'd see the day that Lori Davenport let a boy get to her so bad she starved herself." Lori just looked at B.L as she took her medicine and said "You wouldn't understand you don't know how I feel about Luke." B.L: "No matter how you feel about him it's no reason to try and kill yerself! I understand more than you think cousin don't forget it was MY mama that killed herself after my daddy died. So I do understand what that kinda love is like I just can't see you being one of those kind of people." Lori swallowed hard she loved Luke with her heart and soul but she knew B.L was right in what she said. But instead of agreeing she put the glass from taking her medicine in the sink and headed for her room mumbling. "I'm going to bed good night Uncle Luther." B.L went back to the couch and her magazine to wait for Cooter to get home hiding a grin she was going to interrogate him next about his date with Beverly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile Cooter......... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the Duke farm.........

Dixie sighed in relief to know that Bo wasn't anymore comfortable with it than she was. She was afraid he'd think she was being a naiive baby...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile B.L was back at the house with Luther waiting for Lori to come home. She wouldn't ever let on to Lori but she was worried about her cousin's health because of how skinny she'd gotten. Cooter hadn't made it home yet either but Luther had given him an extension on his curfew because the game lasted so late that way he'd have plenty of time to take Beverly home and drive safely back to the farm without speeding to meet his curfew so he wouldn't get in trouble. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the Boar's Nest Cooter had Beverly held tightly in his arms as they danced to a slow country song playing on the juke box......

He'd talk to her after the game was over he decided. So after the game Cooter went over to Beverly and smiled shyly at her and said "Hey Beverly, did ya enjoy the game?" Beverly smiled shly back and nodded she really liked Cooter he didn't act like a hot shot like the other boys. They talked a while just getting to know each other and before he knew it Cooter had a date with Beverly to go get something to eat before they all went home, he told her he'd drop her off at her house if she didn't mind being with his two younger cousins and little sister. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile while Cooter was sparkin' the lovely miss Beverly not giving a second thought to said younger cousins and little sister. Bo and Dixie were under the bleachers in the same place B.L and Andy had been.........

Bo Duke I keep Hazzard County on wheels who am I?

Dixie had wished her and Bo had time to explore further, but the sound of the PA cutting on had interupted. She had finally gathered the nerve to let Bo move ahead and now they were interupted! Just her luck! Bo wasn't happy either he'd been so close Dixie had finally let him move ahead but then Luke and Lori had to get in trouble as usual and spoil everything. B.L and Andy had been more careful since Lori and Luke had been caught they weren't sure how close they might have been to being caught themselves in the locker room. At practice Luke and Lori were sitting 'benched' B.L smiled real big she was on top of the world almost literally she hadn't been caught with Andy and now with Lori benched she had the full duties of captain of the squad which meant she was on top of the pyramid. Daisy couldn't believe all the luck of all of them Luke and Lori's bad luck and B.L's good luck. She'd got wind of what Bo and Dixie had been doing too and had promised she wouldn't tell on them as long as they didn't do something stupid like the others and take risks getting caught in the wrong place at the wrong time...

Lori breathing hard had his belt undone and he had her shirt off. In their heated passion they tumbled around the press box and accidentally hit the button to the microphone and the WHOLE football team and cheerleading squad could hear the sounds that was going on up there.......... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dixie looked to Bo and said... "I don't know Bo I ain't never done nothing like that before" Dixie blushed feeling like a baby admitting that to Bo expecting him to laugh but he didn't he just took her hand and led her some place a little more private and kissed her slowly his hands doing a little exploring but not getting too carried away until she was more comfortable..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile in the boys locker room B.L and Andy was doing a little necking of their own. Andy had B.L pressed up against the lockers his hand reaching inside her shirt deftly undoing her bra.....

Andy had that class as well B.L. and him were too busy making googly eyes and kissy faces at each other B.L. passed him a note that said..... 'Andy meet me after practices in the boys locker room. XOXO BL' Andy read the note careful to keep it out of the teachers sight and looked at B.L nodding that he would be there.

B.L went through the day spending as much time with Andy as possible because Luther had said he wasn't allowed to come to the house while she was grounded. He carried her books to class for her and all kinds of sweet stuff. At the lockers while Lori and Luke were having a lover's quarrel Andy had B.L pushed up against the lockers in a heated lip lock. Cooter seen this and reached grabbing Andy by the shirt collar jerking him away from B.L who protested "HEY! what'd you do that for?" Cooter: "YOU are in enough trouble and so am I because of YOU!" B.L just rolled her eyes and gave Cooter a whatever look but by this time Andy had parted company from them he didn't want trouble with Cooter.

That monday at school B.L had watched Lori and Luke like a hawk scowling at them everytime she saw them in the hall holding hands and Luke stealing kisses between classes. She was still peeved at being grounded for another month. She did thank her lucky stars though that Luther hadn't taken her to the woodshed like he had Cooter. Cooter still hadn't spoken to her after he'd gotten back inside the house he was tired of always getting in the most trouble for the stuff the girls did just because he was the oldest and supposed to watch them. He thought that Lori and B.L should be accountable entirely for their own actions they didn't need to be babysat by him. In their first period class Cooter kept shooting deadly looks in B.L's direction as he tried not to squirm in his hard desk chair. B.L was doing her best to pay attention to the teacher and take notes for once instead of goofing off she didn't need anymore trouble. Luke whispered to Lori...........

B.L giggled and replied sweetly... "Well now that depends on what a handsome thing like you wants to do." Andy wiggled his eyebrows suggestively at her and took her by the hand leading her under the bleachers. Out of sight he kissed her deeply and ran his hand up the inside of her cheerleading uniform top rubbing her back. B.L hands in turn was doing some exploring of their own. Wasn't long before Andy had her top off and his hand slipping up her short skirt 'petting her thigh and more. Things progressed more and more until there was panting and moaning coming from under the bleachers as Andy showed B.L what a real man he was making her feel like a woman. After a while Andy looked deeply in B.L's eyes and said breathlessly.... "I love you B.L" B.L. kissed him deeply once more and murmured "love you too, but I better go Cooter will be lookin' for me." That said they began to get dressed again and then B.L came out from under the bleachers finger combing her mussed hair as she made tracks for the car before Cooter came hunting her...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Back at the Davenport farm Lori and Luke weren't having as much luck they had walked around for a while. Then had disappeared into the old barn but Luther had come to check on them so they hadn't got to have any 'fun'......

Uncle Jesse pulled up to see Luther and Lori on the porch Lori smiled and quickly turned red. Luther saw Luke and stood up saying..... "Luke we need to talk" Luke hung his head trying to look properly repenant and gave Lori a wink to which she giggled quietly and winked back neither seen by Luther or Jesse. Dixie and Cooter was inside getting ready to go to the game and B.L was still huffed up stretched out on the couch in a permanent sulk it seemed. Cooter came through and seen her there still and sat down beside her saying with an evil smirk he just couldn't resist getting in a small dig at her.... "I'll tell Andy Jefferson ya said, hey" B.L stuck her tongue out at Cooter obviously he hadn't seen Dixie go out and talk to Luther. She got up off the couch putting down her magazine and said "I'll tell Andy 'hey' for myself, Dixie talked to Uncle Luther and since I didn't really do anything except follow Lori which got me stuck in that house all night with everybody else he said I could go to the game but nowhere else this weekend." Cooter grinned and shook his head he couldn't believe the luck of his younger cousins or little sister sometimes. They both went their seperate ways to get ready for the game B.L was trying to think of an excuse for her tardiness and absence at practice.....

GAME NIGHT The week went on with Lori,Luke, B.L and Daisy still grounded. It was the night of the biggest game of the year and Luther and Jesse still hadn't relented to let B.L, Lori and Daisy cheer at the game or Luke play. Luke was outside chopping wood the coach had been somemore mad when he'd told him that Jesse wouldn't let him play. The cheerleading sponser hadn't been all that happy either when the girls had told her they couldn't cheer at the game either. Daisy was in her room sulking she hadn't said a word to Jesse since she'd got home from school. Bo was happy as a lark but was being careful not to rub it in to Luke and Daisy mainly because he didn't want Daisy to chase him with frying pan. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At the Davenport farm Lori was pissed off big time she was the captain of the cheerleading squad and was going to miss the biggest game of the year. B.L was co-captain and not any happier than Lori she was laying on the couch staring up at the ceiling arms folded and a look that could kill on her face muttering. "Biggest game of the year and I'm missin' it cos I'm grounded" Lori heard this from her perch draped across the chair and said "Yeah well at least you ain't the captain of the squad and having to miss it cos ya grounded."

B.L and Dixie had went to their rooms while Luther took Lori out on the porch to talk. They were both sulking because they were grounded and hadn't even done anything really. It wasn't there fault that the fog had come in and they all got stuck at that house. B.L threw a tennis ball against the door with a bang it wasn't fair she hadn't even got to do anything to make getting in this much trouble worth it. Dixie was laying across her bed sulking too just not throwing a tantrum like B.L was she looked at the wall when she heard the ball hit B.L's door. Cooter........... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile at the Duke farm........

Jesse frowned and looked outside the fog was still hanging heavy you couldn't see more than a few inches past the window. He hoped the kids were alright and just waiting somewhere for the fog to lift so they could see to get home. "Well I'm sure they'll be home in a little while when this fog lifts probably just waiting it out some place." Jesse reassured Luther who agreed neither one suspecting they had anything to worry about other than the possibility of the youngsters being out in the fog. Never dreaming that in the old house the two youngest were 'experimenting' and that Luke and Lori were upstairs alone doing more than experimenting. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Meanwhile Bo was still trying to get 'friendly' with Dixie who was wishing Daisy would wake up so she could pull the older girl aside and talk to her about what was going on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lori and Luke were still cuddled close together upstairs, Luke was brushing the hair off Lori's face as she slept quietly in his arms. He kissed her temple and looked at her relaxed features as she slept she was so pretty he thought as he stroked her cheek with his thumb. B.L hadn't went to sleep she was keeping an eye on Bo and Dixie and getting madder by the minute the longer Lori and Luke stayed upstairs, she sat up to wake Cooter up and tell him what was going on upstairs but then layed down again with a humph if she woke him up then he'd see what Dixie and Bo were upto it wasn't them she wanted to get in trouble just Lori.

B.L looked at Daisy having seen what Bo did and now missing Luke and Lori said. "Looks like everybody's gettin' some action but me, you and Cooter that just ain't fair." Daisy nodded her agreement and......

Dixie smiled and said "Thanks Bo" B.L and Daisy had settled down trying to go to sleep this time. They heard what Bo said to Dixie and grinned looking over at their two younger cousins they thought Bo's obvious crush on Dixie was sweet.
