Spring had arrived in our sleepy little town. Mom's tulips were in full bloom, and the trees were greening up. I was taking in the signs of change of season as I saw my first robin. It was predicted to be in the low 60s this weekend. I was looking forward to the warmer weather, because we had our baseball tournament.
Lincoln High lost their first game on Wednesday. Our record stood at 7 – 1. I had started three games and my record was 2 – 0 with a 1.37 ERA. Justin was also 2 – 0 with a 2.43 ERA. The surprise was Bryan; working as our closer, he was 2 – 1. Mike started one game with no decision. Bert and Brock were our middle relievers. Coach Herndon and Shiggy prepared us for tournament play. We had played several simulated games, to give our pitching staff more stamina than we had last year at this time.
Even Moose admitted that the Callahan twins were the difference. They'd had varsity experience pitching, when they played in New Jersey last year. With their addition, we were now able to feel like we had enough pitching to be competitive in a tournament, where you might play as many as four games in a day.
We had solid pitching, but our defense was winning us games. Working with the players and coaches at State made a big difference. We were just ahead of the other teams as far as preparation was concerned. As teams played together, they were catching up. We also steadily got better, as a group. I wasn't surprised we were made the number one seed for the upcoming tournament.
At lunch, Pam wanted to eat with me, alone. She needed to talk about something, and seemed nervous. We found a table at the back of the cafeteria so we could have some privacy. When people had a choice, they preferred to sit near the windows which overlooked the school grounds.
"What's wrong? Did something happen to Tracy?" I asked when we were settled.
"No, no, Tracy is fine. Actually, she is getting better. She told me they may let her out by the end of the week. She still will not be coming back to school, but she'll be home with her family," Pam shared.
"If I ever see Bill Rogers again, he might not survive the encounter."
Pam could tell I was serious. The young man really had done a number on Tracy. I was sure this was not the only reason Tracy was depressed, but his abuse was a major factor in how she was doing right now. Dr. Hebert was working to get Tracy's anti-depressant medication balanced before she was sent home. They had to be careful because it took a while for it to fully take effect. They wanted her in a controlled environment, while they were finding what worked for Tracy. They also wanted to help her recognize her depression for what it was, and give her the tools to handle it. No one wanted Tracy to try and hurt herself, again.
"I have other girl troubles," Pam said cryptically.
"That doesn't sound good. I sure hope the freshman cheerleaders haven't come up with some plan to corrupt me," I said as I smirked at her.
"No, these would be older girls."
"I can deal with Mona and her band of trouble makers," I said more confidently than I felt.
"No these girls would be even older girls," she said not looking at me.
I was stumped. If it was Beth, Cindy or Suzanne I would be fine. I would just explain to Harper Greg's free pass arrangement. I thought about it for two seconds and remembered Angie got an equal number of passes. Nope, Harper was not getting any free passes. She might just use them.
"Do I even want to know?" I asked.
"Cora," was Pam's one word answer.
Her sister was an older version of Pam. She was a knock-out, who was currently decimating the local fraternities. Cora was a sexual force to be reckoned with. She was a slut, but a picky slut, according to Pam. She only went after the best guys. Her problem was she got bored with them when they couldn't keep up.
"What about Cora? I hope she isn't expecting a repeat of the three of us being together," I worried.
Pam gave me a wicked smile.
"Quit your complaining. I was there, remember? You would do it again in a heartbeat," Pam challenged me to deny it.
I tried to act tough, but I knew she was right. I was sure Pam would have used her sister to get into my pants if she thought it would work. She still wasn't completely on board with Harper being my girlfriend, as it meant no random hook-ups. The girls had started calling Harper directly. Harper enjoyed the byplay. She had no intention to let me play with any of them, right now. I didn't complain. Harper was more than enough for me, even if I only saw her on weekends.
"I choose not to answer," I said to evade her. "What does Cora want?"
"You know she is pledging a sorority, right?"
I nodded.
"Normally pledge activities are tame. I know you have probably read some Penthouse Letters or been on the internet and read stories about the wild things sororities get up to," she said.
I wasn't about to deny it. I think every boy my age had read something along those lines. I just shrugged.
"Well, get your dirty thoughts out of your head. Sororities are about sisterhood and making the most out of the college experience."
"We both know Cora is experiencing college. What does all this have to do with me?" I asked.
"Sorry, I guess I should just tell you. Cora has been a bad influence on her pledge class," Pam said and then looked up at me.
"And?" I encouraged her.
She tilted her head down and bit her lower lip and glanced around. I thought about getting up right then, but I was too curious to leave without knowing what Cora had cooked up.
"She wanted me to have you invite you and four of the guys from your baseball team to her sorority for a party Saturday night after your tournament," Pam said as she leaned forward and made sure I was the only one who could hear her.
"I'm sure the guys would enjoy it. I'm just concerned it's late notice. They might have plans for after the games."
"There's more," Pam said getting my full attention. "Cora told me the theme of the party is Fresh Meat. The pledges plan on hooking up with your guys for an anonymous one night stand. Cora assured the pledges she could find guys they wouldn't run into on campus."
I rocked back into my chair. Pam gave me a confused look when I got out my phone and sent a text. She was even more confused when Tim and Bill came over and joined us.
"We have a dilemma," I told the guys. "Pam's sister is in a sorority, and they want five guys from the team to come over Saturday night after the tournament to have sex with them."
Pam blushed and gave me a dirty look.
"Hey, it's what it boils down to," I defended myself.
"I guess, but it sounds bad the way you described it," Pam complained.
"David, are you bullshitting us?" Tim asked.
He had a point. This would make a heck of a joke. Was Cora pulling one over on us? I looked at Pam, because I could see where the sorority girls would think it would be fun to torment high school boys.
"What do you think? Is Cora just getting us there to punk us?" I asked Pam.
"No. My sister might do something like that, but she was too excited about the prospect of having no strings sex with the guys. Now, would the older girls play a trick on you guys and the pledge class? Maybe," she agreed.
"We could get into so much trouble," Bill worried.
Tim and I looked at each other and gave him a look. Bill slapped his forehead.
"I know, I'm such a pussy, but you both know Moose would never let us play baseball again if we got caught."
"Moose said we would get kicked off if we got caught drinking or doing drugs. He never said anything about getting laid," Tim reasoned.
"Would Cora make sure there was no booze or drugs at the party?" I asked.
Pam got up and called her sister. That gave us a chance to really talk.
"Part of me says this is a REALLY bad idea. The other part of me says I will regret it, if we don't do it. If I had to decide right now, I would say we go for it," I shared.
"What about Harper?" Tim said ruining my bravado.
Both Tim and Bill smiled at me. I pulled my phone out and called her.
"I was packing to come see you," Harper shared with me.
"What would you think about going with me to a sorority sex party Saturday night?" I asked.
Tim and Bill's eyes got very big.
Harper had a lot of questions and I didn't have answers. Pam came back to the table, so I handed the phone to her. She blushed when she found out it was my girlfriend on the line. She did the smart thing and gave her Cora's number.
"I thought you wore the pants in your relationship," Tim teased me.
"Dude, if I went behind her back, and went to a sex party without her, she wouldn't be my girlfriend come Sunday," I explained.
"Is this how you manage all your friends?" Bill asked.
"Sneaking around is the quickest way to screw up a relationship. If any of the guys we decide to join us are dating anyone, I would suggest they come clean before they do anything. They still might lose their girlfriend, but I will guarantee they will be in more trouble if they get caught cheating," I explained.
"David's right. He is always upfront with his friends, and they appreciate it," Pam said and then realized what she indirectly admitted to.
The guys looked at both of us and smiled.
"You two settle down. If I hear anything concerning Pam and me, I will have Cassidy come and find you," I threatened.
"All you had to do was ask. Making threats was not necessary," Tim said.
"I agree, we're good," Bill assured us.
My phone rang. It was Harper.
"I swear you are such a slut. I have no idea why I put up with you," she started.
"Because I'm your slut."
The guys mimed grinding again and I gave them a hard look.
"Would you be disappointed if we went, and you were not allowed to partake in any of the girls?" she asked.
"No," I answered without hesitation.
"What if I decided to go off with one of the guys, would you have a problem with it?" she asked.
"Yes."
"So if we go, you would be fine if we were exclusive?"
"Yes. I keep telling you, we are together," I assured her.
"In that case, we'll go. Put Pam back on the phone. I need to know what to wear," Harper ordered me.
I handed the phone to Pam, and turned to the guys and gave them the thumbs up.
"Seriously, you just talked your girlfriend into going with you to a sex party?" Bill asked in shock.
"We talked about our expectation and agreed to what we would and wouldn't allow for each of us to do. You might want to try talking to your partner, sometime. You might be surprised by what they will say, if you give them a chance."
The look they both gave me said they had never even considered doing something like I had just done. I was glad Greg trained me well, or I might have been in trouble with Harper, right now.
"So, are we doing this?" Tim asked.
"I say yes," I voted.
"I say no," Bill told us.
"I say yes. Will you have a problem if we do it?" Tim asked Bill.
"You both know my concerns, but we voted and I'll go to the party and make sure nothing gets too out of hand," Bill said.
"Fair enough, who should the other two be?" I asked.
"Why don't we let Bill decide? That way he will make sure they are okay with going and know to keep their damn mouths shut afterwards," Tim said giving me a hard look.
I mentally added a talk with Jeff on my to do list if he were picked. Pam handed me back my phone and we told her we would attend the party. She called her sister who was very excited, if what we heard through the speaker was any indication.
After practice we had a players' only team meeting. Tim and I let Bill run it.
"Tomorrow is a big day for the future of Lincoln baseball. We'll be laying the foundation for the rest of the year. I want to remind everyone that we need to show our class and sportsmanship. If there are any problems, let the coaches or your captains handle it."
"Like David handled Wolf getting beaned last year," Mike chirped.
Everyone chuckled. I had rushed the mound and dealt with it.
"I'm serious. If we need to take care of something, we will. If one of us is suspended for a few games, it is just us and not the whole team. If you get hit by a pitch, suck it up and be a man and take first base. Let David kill them," he said with a smile.
I shook my head.
"I need to talk to you about one more thing. Your captains will be picking the MVPs for the tournament. If you are selected, you will have to be free Saturday evening for your reward. It will be a Vegas like thing, where what happens Saturday night is never spoken of," Bill said as the room went dead silent.
"There is no way any of us are going cow tipping, right?" Jim asked.
"No cow-tipping. David arranged the outing," Tim blurted.
I gave him a dirty look. They didn't need to know that.
"Oh, never mind," Jim said, as if my arranging things explained everything.
I sat back and smiled as Tim and Bill fielded questions about what the MVPs could expect. When Tim and Bill were done, building the mystery, it sounded like a fun evening. Bill convinced the guys to make a pact. I think it had the same effect as when someone had you sign a waiver which said if you died doing something you couldn't hold them responsible. It just made everyone want to do it more. I let it slip that Tim and Bill were responsible for picking the MVPs. They suddenly had twenty new best friends. For some reason, they both flipped me off.
I came home to find Harper helping my mom and dad get dinner ready. We had started having dinner with them on Friday nights, so my mom could get to know Harper better. Mom was still trying to wrap her mind around Harper possibly replacing Tami for my affections.
"David, what are you up to?" my mom asked me.
I gave Harper a dirty look.
"Don't blame me, because your mom asked. Remember when you said we couldn't lie to parents?" she asked, and gave me a cheeky smile.
"I think we also agreed we weren't going to share things with the other's parents," I shot back.
"Leave her alone, and tell me about the party you are going to," my mom ordered.
"If it is a sex party, like Harper told us, I have some serious concerns if you are inviting teammates," Dad warned me.
"Riddle me this, Dad. If you were my age, and there was a sorority party where you could get laid by college girls, wouldn't you want your friends to invite you?" I asked.
"I'm out," my dad said, conceding he would want to go.
"I think we may have a talk later," my mom said menacingly.
Dad just shrugged. Mom turned her glare on me.
"Harper agreed to go," I said throwing her under the bus.
"David!" Harper complained.
"Don't even start. You got me into this mess," I warned her.
"Do I need to ground you two? Better yet, do I need to call Harper's parents?" Mom threatened.
"I love you, Mom," I said as I hugged her.
She pushed me away. I had to give it shot, because sometimes it worked. She was enjoying making Harper and me squirm, too much. I understood why she didn't make nice when Greg and his family came in the back door. She wanted to let Angie have some fun at our expense. I was ordered to catch them up with what I planned for tomorrow night.
"Oh, you are such a bad boy," Angie said and shook her head.
It didn't help when Greg high fived me. He was sent to help Dad finish dinner.
"So how should we punish him?" Angie offered.
Harper gave me a weak smile. It was then I realized she, Angie, and Mom were in on this tormenting together.
"Just put me out of my misery. What do you all want," I said in surrender.
I wasn't surprised when they each had a list to hand me. Mom wanted me to get the garden ready and several other outdoor tasks now that it was spring. Angie had a few very inappropriate suggestions. I handed her list to Greg and he smiled when he read it. He agreed to satisfy her needs. Harper wanted me to be her sex slave at some point in time. I went to hand her list to Greg, and she smacked me.
Saturday April 11We had one of the first games, today, so Harper got up to help me get ready. Dad had reserved a pavilion next to the fields. Harper was making five gallons of Gatorade while I cut up oranges and apples for the guys. Greg and Angie were making breakfast.
When Harper was done. Greg helped me carry the Gatorade container to the Jeep. We were meeting at the high school to warm up and get our batting practice in before we headed to the park for our game.
"Did you work your way through the list Angie gave me?" I teased him.
"I think you might have to help me with some of it. She is wearing me out."
I knew he wasn't serious. He had confided in me, when she was pregnant the last time, her libido had gone up during a certain portion of her pregnancy. I just couldn't remember at what point. If it was now she really was wearing him out. I did remember him telling me right before Kyle was born things slowed down. It took a few months before they were back to normal after his birth.
"You know I'm there for you if you need me."
"If you ever did, Angie would be a happy girl. Nancy gave her a full report," he told me as I groaned.
I put him in a head lock and messed up his hair. We went back in to our women with smiles on our faces.
"This can't be good," Angie warned Harper.
I kissed Angie's cheek and then planted a serious kiss on Harper.
"What are you waiting for, dumbass?" I asked my brother.
Angie was tapping her foot until Greg figured out he needed to follow my lead. We had breakfast and then I left to get ready for the game. Harper was going to come with my parents. When I walked out, I saw her sneaking Duke pieces of bacon. She was going to spoil him.
Our first game was against Lang Academy. I wasn't surprised they were the bottom seed. I was surprised when I saw Harper's ex-boyfriend Ray. I had forgotten she told me he was sent there after he had been kicked out of his second boarding school. Harper would be happy to see him. He saw me walking over to their dugout and came out to talk to me.
We were catching up when Harper and my parents showed up. I pointed her out to Ray and he went into the stands to catch up with his best friend. I could see his teammates were checking her out.
"Careful boys, she's my girlfriend," I said just loud enough they could hear me.
We didn't need a repeat of what happened when they visited us during our first game. I would gladly kick their asses if they hit on Harper.
I went back and fielded some ground balls to finish getting ready for the game. I was getting to where I needed to be mentally. I was ready to kick some butt. I think Moose felt confident, because he had Bert pitch the first game. Last year we trotted Justin out because we didn't know if we would be playing more than one game. Most teams would play their best pitcher to assure they got to the second round.
It was soon time to get started. Everyone was focused and determined to win today. Bert had worked hard to perfect his two seam fastball. It was actually a good pitch, because it tended to tail away. Batters routinely topped the pitch and hit grounders. Bert wasn't overpowering, so if he could get them to hit grounders, and let us play defense, we had a good shot at winning.
Bert normally ran into trouble if his pitches started to get up in the zone. When he did that, it was like watching batting practice. I was happy to see the first three batters he faced all grounded out. We came into bat with smiles on our faces. Bert was going to have a good outing.
Our only problem was our bats deserted us. Come the bottom of the seventh inning, we were deadlocked at 0 – 0. Neither team was able to get a runner further than second base. It wasn't like their pitcher was very good. We should have been lighting him up.
I was leading off and had gone 0 – 3 so far today. I guess I wasn't surprised when Moose pinch-hit Brock Callahan for me. Brock had looked good in batting practice before the game. On the first pitch Brock hit a screaming line drive right at the third baseman. I groaned; knowing it was a sure out, but was surprised when the ball bounced off his chest. I was sure that would leave a mark.
Moose sent Bryan up next, taking the bat out of Wolf's hands. He stepped in and hit a hard shot right back at the pitcher. The ball brushed the pitchers hip, which caused it to change direction just enough so their shortstop was not able to field the ball cleanly. We now had runners on first and second.
Jim was sent in as the third straight pinch hitter. Their pitcher tried to get Jim to chase a fastball high in the zone. He showed good discipline and held up. The next pitch was a hanging curve. Jim parked it, giving us the win 3 – 0.
I guess I shouldn't have expected it when Moose benched Jeff, Wolf and me for the second game. The Callahan twins and Jim were inserted into the lineup. Mike pitched a good game, but the defense was not as strong without the two of us in the middle of the infield. The good news was our substitutes paid off at the plate. We ended up beating Lakeview 8 – 6.
I pitched the next game against Washington. We met them in the semi-finals last year. They had forfeited when they ran out of pitchers. I had a good game. I actually struck out Ty three times. My bat also came back to life as I hit two singles and a double. We cruised to a 6 – 1 victory.
We met St. Joe in the final. Justin shut them down. He wasn't flashy but still only allowed six hits. We won the tournament with a 12 – 3 win. Our record stood at 11 – 1, the best start Lincoln had had in over ten years.
The team gathered around to find out who the MVPs were. The three of us had talked during the day. It was decided the winners had to be single, and not freshmen. They also had to be guys who would not embarrass us or talk afterwards. Justin was eliminated for what he did to Piper. My buddy Jeff was also taken out of the pool of possible candidates, by Bill and Tim. I decided not to fight them on their decision, because he was dating Cassidy. The no dating rule took out a lot of the rest of the team.
"It was actually easy to name the MVPs of the tournament. Both guys came through with clutch hitting, and stepped in when we needed pitching. The winners are Brock and Bryan Callahan," Bill announced.
After the brothers had been congratulated, I saw Bill and Tim talking to them. They both had big smiles and were nodding as my fellow captains explained what was expected of them, tonight.
Harper was acting nervous when we pulled into the parking lot of the Alpha Chi Omega house. Cora had instructed us to park in the rear, and come in through the back door and down to the basement. We were sitting in my Jeep as she turned to me.
"Am I being a bitch by not letting you spend time with other girls?" she asked.
I almost laughed until I saw she was dead serious. I took a deep breath and looked at the back of the Alpha Chi Omega house. It was a monster of a sorority house which looked like it was built at the turn of the 1900's. You could have moved it to a plantation in the Deep South. I jerked my mind back from wandering and answered her question.
"Harper, you confuse the hell out of me. When I first met you I was attracted to your spunk and quick wit. I have an affinity for smart, self-assured women. It certainly didn't hurt you have a killer body. Then you go saying something like that. If I said it, you would look me in the eye and tell me to quit being a pussy and grow a pair. I don't understand why you think you need to change the way you think, just because we are dating?"
"Did you just call me a pussy?" Harper asked as she glared at me.
"No, I said you would call me a pussy," I clarified.
"No, I think you are just finding a clever way of calling me a pussy," she shot back.
I started to say something clever and then stopped myself. Harper was a lot like her mom. She could smell bullshit from a mile away. I decided to man up, and grow a pair.
"I guess I did," I said.
"Oh. You know I'm going to kick your ass."
"Have at it tough girl," I said unable to hide my amusement.
"All right, I'll quit feeling sorry for you and make you watch as your teammates get laid."
"Fine with me," I said as I kissed her.
"I hate it when you kiss me just when I'm getting a good mad on," she huffed and we got out of the Jeep.
Harper found her way under my arm as she led me in. I knew she wasn't really mad. She was just feeling insecure. She would be back to normal as soon as she got a feel for what was going on. I found it funny that Harper made sure I was looking good tonight. I had planned to wear jeans and t-shirt with my letterman jacket. She had me try on several outfits before she was satisfied. I wasn't surprised when she picked out something causal from Dakora. I think she wanted to make the other girls jealous. I was a little surprised when she wore a skirt which barely covered her butt. I wasn't sure what the purpose of her attire was. If it was meant for me then okay, but I was worried she had dressed for the college guys who would be there.
When we got inside, we found we were the first ones there from my group. Cora saw me, and smiled. She was talking to several of her sisters, so we went and grabbed a couple of sodas. I was confused at the different clothes the girls were wearing. I asked Harper about it.
"The ones in the jerseys must be the pledges. The girls wearing normal clothes have to be the sorority sisters."
I noticed the ones wearing jerseys seemed to be just wearing jerseys. I checked out the pledges and they were all cute. Pam had told me Alpha Chi Omega was noted for having the best looking women on campus. While I hadn't seen the other twenty some sororities, I would take it on faith she was right. I sent a text to Tim and Bill, letting them know the ladies were waiting for them. They were in charge of getting Bryan and Brock here.
There were already several guys, here, and most looked to be college age. They were talking to each other. Harper and I were people watching as we waited for the rest of our group to show up. Five minutes later all the guys showed up wearing jeans and baseball jerseys. I guess I missed the memo.
"The poor dumbasses," I mumbled.
"What did you say?" Harper asked.
"Sorry, I was looking at the guys and they reminded me of my mom and dad when she made him wear a matching sweater."
"I know it is cliché, but does it surprise you a bunch of jocks would do something like that?"
"Hey, I resemble that remark."
"Just saying," she said as she squeezed my hand.
Cora came over.
"Are they all here?" she asked me.
"Yeah, this is all of them," I said.
She went back to the girls she was talking to and let them know. One of the older girls got everyone's attention. I was amused the guys were on one side of the room and girls on the other. It felt like a middle school dance.
"I would like to welcome the men from Lincoln. I hear they won a tournament today," she began.
The sorority sisters started chanting 'Fresh Meat! Fresh Meat!'
"Settle down, ladies. At the request of the Fresh Meat, there will be no alcohol served tonight. Normally we would let you have a few drinks and then have our way with you. Since we don't have alcohol to lower you inhibitions, we'll have to resort to other methods. The first is a get to know you. We will do a version of speed dating. Men please get into a circle and face the outside for me," our master of ceremonies directed us.
When the guys were in a circle, she then directed the pledges to make a circle facing in.
"Now, I have a stack of cards. I will read what the card says and then you follow the directions. The first card says Kiss the person in front of you."
This was going to be fun as we watched the wide range of reactions, which was fascinating. Some of the guys blushed and looked to want to bolt. Others got into it. I saw Cora didn't have a partner. She motioned for me to join the circle. Harper saw her also.
"I can't believe I am saying this. Go join your teammates."
"I'm good," I assured her.
"No. I want you to go have fun. Remember our rule. I have to be involved."
I don't think she expected me to pull her along with me. Cora gave us a funny look.
"Do you expect me to kiss both of you?"
"Oh, yeah," I said.
Before Harper could make a run for it, Cora leaned over and kissed her. When she was done, Harper was gasping for breath. I grabbed the back of Cora's neck and kissed her. I then kissed Harper. I thought it wouldn't be fair unless we all kissed each other.
I woke up and ran with Peggy. We hadn't talked on Sunday as she had some family thing to do. I soon found out that she had more calls than I did. We had run for almost a mile when she said something that brought me to a dead stop. "David, I didn't realize what dating you involved. I think I need to break-up with you ... almost before we start dating," she said and then looked back to see where I was. "You're kidding me, right?" I asked hopefully. "No. I need to think this out...
Sophomore year is an interesting year for most students, in that this is their first really independent year, at least academically speaking. Not in lifestyle, of course, since that occurs freshman year. Freshman year is a huge change for the average college student. For the vast majority that are now living away from home for the first time, this is a massive culture shock. They are now treated as adults and need to learn discipline quickly. Mommy and Daddy are no longer going to be there to...
Tami and I drove to Lexington Kentucky to visit my friend John Phillips in the hospital. He had torn his Achilles tendon stepping off a curb. We decided to take the scenic route, so we could drive by horse farms in the area. The windows were down and you could hear the distinctive grumble and whine of the Charger as it ate up the miles. I was amazed Tami hadn't gotten a ticket yet, but she seemed to have a sixth sense as to where the police were. I was about to drop off into a nap when Tami...
Tami and I had arrived in Columbus the night before, because the football staff wanted to show us around before sign in at eleven that morning. We were directed to the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. The facilities had been originally built in the late 80s. Recently they did an almost twenty million dollar upgrade and expansion. If there was a better football facility in the country, I wanted to see it. Tami and I went to reception to meet our guide who turned out to be a guy that looked like...
By lunch, word of Peggy and me no longer dating was all anyone wanted to talk about. I had grabbed Yuri when he saw Peggy and Mitch holding hands. My little Russian tough guy had to be convinced I was okay with it. I appreciated he would be willing to deal with something like that. Peggy nodded to me to say thanks. Luckily, Mitch was none the wiser. I walked into lunch late, because I'd had to fend off Lisa Felton. She'd gotten it in her head I should take her to the Valentine's Dance on...
When I got to school, Tracy was waiting for me. She gave Peggy a hip check to let her know she wanted to talk to me alone. Peggy gave me a kiss, and left for her locker. "I need your help," Tracy said. I just raised an eyebrow. "You have to yell at the freshmen. They think it was cute, touching you at the dance. They don't know how quickly they can destroy their reputations. Piper is already having problems." "I think I can handle that. I wasn't happy they were grabbing...
Tracy had another breakdown, mid-week. Her depression didn't seem to be getting any better. Tom talked to me, and there was talk where she would drop out of school for a semester and get some extensive treatment. He never came out and said it, but I suspected they were worried she might do something stupid. I had gone over to see her Thursday night, but she was asleep. I never got a chance to talk to her. One unexpected result from last Saturday night, was Brit's new bodyguards: her...
I was packed and ready to go to camp. The plan was for Tami to pick me up to take me to the airport. I had loved up on Duke, and explained I would only be gone a few days. I was surprised when Harper walked in the back door. I didn't ask any questions until we were in the car. "Where's Tami?" I asked. "She'll see you when you get back. You get to talk to me on the way to the airport." "Okay, what am I talking to you about?" "My job is to talk you out of being Tami's boyfriend....
Today was the beginning of one of the most important weeks of my football future. The camp was being held at Nike's Corporate Campus, in Beaverton, Oregon. Beaverton was located just seven miles from downtown Portland. I woke up with an uneasy stomach, which was a good sign. It meant I was ready. All I needed now was to puke, and I was good to go. Tami was in my bed and I watched her sleep. I was still confused about us having sex last week. There was something in the back of my mind trying...
I got up to run and was stretching in the drive when Peggy came out our back door. She had a big meet on Wednesday for Districts. If she did well, there, she was going to State. She came up to me and gave me a kiss. "I want to say thank you, again," she said. "You need to thank Mom. She's the one that did it," I said. Peggy had slept nearly fifteen hours Saturday night and Sunday. Mom finally woke her up so they could go to lunch, after Mom returned from church. After lunch, Mom sat...
It was good to be home, and to sleep in my own bed. I was sick of dorm and hotel beds. You just seem to sleep better at home. I was also happy to see Duke. You would have thought I'd been gone for years by the way he acted when I got home. I would have to a talk with Brit and Precious about what they had done to my poor boy. As I walked down the stairs to go run, I went through a mental checklist of what I needed to do before I left for my last football camp. I wanted to get the oil changed...
I was kissed awake. "You're so cute when you sleep," Nancy said as she ran her fingers through my hair. I looked at the clock. There was an hour before my alarm was to go off. I grinned, having an idea why she had awakened me. "Good morning, Sunshine. Why are you so happy this morning?" "Because my man was so good to me last night I couldn't see sending him off to the salt mines without a little loving," she almost purred. I rewarded her by giving her a deep soulful kiss. Nancy...
I had called Peggy last night and we arranged to run this morning. She explained that since I was now dating her, I should come pick her up. That was why I found myself jogging up to her house. Mr. Pratt was coming out the back door to go to work. "Morning," I said in way of a greeting. "I want to talk to you," he said in an unfriendly way. I just stopped, and tried to figure out what his deal was. "Who do you think you are taking my daughter out and getting her drunk?" he...
I was on my way to the airport with Kendal. We were going to be gone for a four day weekend to finish up the on-site work for the movie. Our destination was the Northwest Territories. We would be staying in the small town of Yellowknife. It was called The Gateway to the North. I was excited about finishing up my portion of the movie. There would be some big chase and fight scenes that would allow me to use my newly acquired gun skills. Craig had called me earlier in the week and told me he...
Duke and I walked out my backdoor to run, when he darted into the backyard to do his business. I heard the low rumble of him growling, so I decided to go investigate. I found Precious guarding something, something furry. Oh Dear Lord, she caught one of Duke's squirrels. You have to understand, there was a sacred bond between dog and squirrel. It was the squirrel's job to torment the dog by bouncing around and then running up trees. The squirrel then twitches its tail and chirped at the...
Tami: I saw David as he walked out of the terminal and into the pick-up area. I waved, and when he saw me he gave me one of his dazzling smiles. I was sometimes amazed I knew this boy who was in all the magazines. I'd not been prepared for how good-looking he had become. He had really grown into a sexy young man. Before the summer of his growth spurt, he had been a slightly pudgy nerd. David was now six-four and a hunk. He had a lean, muscular build and a noticeable bulge in his loose...
When we got up, Nancy and I walked to the main house so I could say goodbye to everyone. We all had breakfast together, and they told me their plans for the day. Devin was taking them all horseback riding in the morning. In the afternoon, the guys were going to watch football bowl games. The girls were going to go to another movie. I caught a ride with Sandy to the airport, after Nancy gave me a kiss or three. It was a bittersweet ending to the vacation. I liked her a lot, but we were in...
When I went to school this morning I had an extra bounce in my step. I had a girl whom I loved, my movie obligations were done, for now, and best of all was baseball tryouts started today. I was excited about this season. We were finally going to get to play varsity ball. The other thing I noticed was they had broken ground on the new Field House. They planned on having it done by the start of the coming school year, next August. I could hardly wait to be able to use it. Dad was also...
Tim, Kim and Pam had been invited to Tracy's lake house for the day. There wasn't going to be a repeat of our last trip, because her parents were coming. The five of us played on the Jet Water Board all morning. Pam taught us some tricks she had learned skateboarding. I was going to New Orleans next week for a Range Sports shoot, and they planned on filming all afternoon with me on the Jet Water Board. Naturally, I was trying to learn everything I could. Sandy told me the more wild things...
My phone woke me up, and when I checked it was Tami. "Happy Easter!" I heard her and her host family call out. I looked at the clock. It was six-thirty in the morning. I tried to remember if she was five or six hours different. Anyways, it was too damn early for Sunday morning. "You are all evil. You do realize it is the crack of dawn here," I complained. "I know, but you love me, anyway. We are off to see historic folk dancing by the Morris Dancers. They assure me it is an English...
When I went to school in morning, I had an extra bounce in my step. I had a girl whom I loved, my movie obligations were done for now, and best of all, we would play our first baseball game this week. I had just finished lifting with Wolf, when Jeff came in. "Moose posted the varsity team on his door." Wolf and I followed Jeff, and checked the list. Varsity – Starters (batting order) (8) Tim Foresee – Catcher (4) Wolf Tam – 1st Base / Right Field (5) Mike Herndon – 2nd Base / Pitcher (3)...
Finals week! Just the whisper of that phrase caused the brightest of students to tremble. I sat at our lunch table and watched everyone lose their minds. I had never seen such stage fright since I was twelve, and had to piss off the back of my uncle's fishing boat, while everyone watched. This was ridiculous. We had all survived finals before. I didn't understand why everyone was suddenly freaked out. Being a man of action, I needed to solve this. "You're all a bunch of wimps," I...
I was beginning to understand the meaning of the word entourage. I was a little embarrassed when I saw how many people were boarding the plane to New Orleans for my Range Sports photo shoot. From Ford modeling I had Tiffany, my agent, and Deb Thomas, their Vice President of Talent Development for their Chicago office. Deb arranged to join us, because she wanted to talk to Devin and Sandy Range about their corporate relationship. It had been on shaky ground ever since our shoots in the UK,...
I'd gone out with Peggy Sunday night to celebrate her coming in third at State on Saturday. Mitch had come in second for the boys. She admitted he'd tried to hit on her again, and I was free to kick his ass. I saw him in the parking lot before school about the same time he saw me coming, and made it inside before I caught him. Peggy gave me a reward for being her hero. The kiss was nice, but she was still confused. She asked why all the varsity cheerleaders flirted with me, while we talked...
After living in the Netherlands for 33 years I was ready for a big change. I had been toying withthe idea of moving to another country to get away from the stress of it all for a while.I had girlfriends in the Netherlands. Wives.I had one nighters and 2 nighters. I wasn't doing bad for myself.But, there was something missing on the girl side. I love variety. I think I've been withevery kind of girl I COULD be with in the Netherlands. I started thinking about other countries.Other girls. Other...
I went to lunch and found Wayne and Ray at our table, again. This time they had been invited. I had gotten to know them over the past few days. Wayne had been a snot, at first, but soon learned that I could kick his ass (mostly due to Cassidy's teaching). Once that was established, he was a much nicer guy. I was less happy to see Maggie was back, and unfortunately nothing had changed on that front. I still felt she was too young, and I was not interested in letting her practice her games on...
FOUR BAD-ASS JOCKS, TENDERIZED AND READIED FOR USE."God Fucking Damn! ... I need me some ass ... NOW! ...", shouted the burly bro nastily. Stroking the outline of his cock in his army camo. He roughly squeezed the shoulder of master Lucas's bitch sitting next to him. "How about it Greg? Want to go another round on this?", joked Jeremiah. "Hands off my boy, Jerry! ... His ass is still gaping from the last time I let you borrow his hole.", said master Lucas sternly. "Shit man, ... If I don't get...
Peggy and I walked up to the front of the school. Pam saw me and hurried over. She didn't look happy. "Tracy withdrew from school," she blurted out. "Okay, I take it she is in treatment," I said. "Her parents took her, Friday. She is in a depression treatment center." "What can we do to help?" Peggy asked. "I don't know. I wish there was something," Pam said. "Have you talked to her or her parents?" I asked. "I talked to Mary for a minute. They were a little busy, so I...
It felt good to be home for the week. I didn't have to fly out to Oregon for the Elite 11 camp until Saturday night. Of course, that was the same day as my birthday, and also Uncle John and Bonnie's wedding. Last year Beth had staged a Birthday Week that would be hard to top. She had introduced me to a different girl each day. The kicker was the blindfold ... now that was fantasy. I wasn't planning on trying to top that, because I had Bo Harrington in town. He was preparing for the Elite...
"Get up! Get up! Get up!" Kara shouted as she ran into my room and bounced on my bed. I think somebody was a little over excited for six-thirty in the morning. Of course somebody had flown in from Italy, and her internal clock was messed up. I guess I should feel lucky that I got to sleep this late. "Should we go wake everyone up?" I asked getting into the spirit of things. She nodded with a gleam in her eye. I got up and went to put on my boxers. "No, let's go naked and wake them...
I opened the door to my apartment to let Duke out. I was surprised when he went towards the back of the garage, like he was stalking something. I had a mission though, so I let him have his fun. Mom bought doughnuts yesterday. She always bought us two each and only two Bavarian Creams. Dad and I had made a game of hiding them, because they were our favorites. We both knew we were not allowed to eat them, because Mom explained what would happen if we did. As I walked across the front of the...
I had just returned home from my morning workout, when Mom made me promise that instead of swimming at Beth’s I would go with her to the hospital. I’d been putting it off. Every time I thought of it, I would see Terri in my mind’s eye, the girl Mom was friends with at the cancer center at Stanford, and the girl who passed away. What finally convinced me was when Mom said I knew one of the children. As we parked, Mom gave me some pointers. “This is a traumatic time for these kids. Be patient...
Coach Hope called me before I went to church. He wanted to talk to me, and my parents, before he made his final decision about what to do with the drinking issue from last night. We had agreed to go to Granny's for a late breakfast, after Mom and I came back from church. When we walked in, Granny spotted me. She made a big fuss about my chin and thought I needed a cinnamon roll to make it better. "I see why you come here," Mom chided me. Before I could respond, the Hope family joined us....
I truly enjoyed my Sunday morning. I didn't have anything to do except go to church with Mom. I even skipped running, and slept in causing Mom to have to wake me up. Church was a little bit of a mad house with everyone wanting to talk about the football game. I was dismayed when I was noted for helping during the storm as part of the sermon. It had not been done it to gain notoriety. I had done it for the pies. None of us felt like cooking brunch, so we went to Granny's. My day got even...
First thing, I went looking for Tracy. She didn't see me come up behind her. I figured a little payback was in order so I gave her a hip check. Her head snapped around, and when she saw it was me, she got a big grin. "Hey, sexy boy," she purred. That got everyone's attention, and I actually blushed. She winked at me as she turned to go to her locker. It was nice to see her smiling. After school, I went to baseball tryouts. There were a lot of guys and even a few girls trying out. I...
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1991 I woke up long before my alarm clock was set to go off, feeling sick to my stomach. The anguish was physical, not just emotional. The events from the night before played out in my head while I considered what to do. I hadn’t missed a school day for being sick in years. And if I did call in sick, I couldn’t participate in any sport or activity that day. That meant missing the Homecoming game and the dance. The idea didn’t really seem so bad at first, but a larger...
At the end of my college freshman year my good friend Jerod, his roommate Kyle and I decided that we were going to move off campus our sophomore year. We found a nice small house to rent not to far from the college. I was excited to spend my sophomore year off campus but was a little unsure of Jerods roommate Kyle. He seemed a little arrogant and I just didn't really hit off all that well with him. Jerod assured me it would be fine as I got to know Kyle. We got along fine but his arrogance...
The Kick Part 2 - As a Sophomore (Drew switches from Track and Cross Country to Soccer, is injured during a match, and begins to live with the consequences of his injury.) For my sophomore year I wanted to try a different sport. Like, Track and Cross Country were fun but, for Cross Country especially, they were more individual sports than team sports and I missed being part of a team where everyone depended upon everyone else if the team was to succeed. Jeff was on the soccer team...
Kendal came and picked me up after church and brunch. We were meeting Tami, Missy, and Harper at the airport. Tami had gone home with Harper over the weekend. They had stayed for graduation at Wesleyan. The girls were excited about their big adventure. It turned out that they were seated with Kendal and Clare. Did I really want all of them comparing notes? I boarded first class to find a kid a little older than I was, was sitting in my seat. I hate it when that happens. "Hey, I think...
Tara's BayouLevel 1 - Fresh MeatI am watching TV and as usual my hand is on my dick. Shit I am so fucking horny! Tired of just sitting here night after night rubbing several out! I need to fuck someone and I need tO FUCK THEM NOW! It's a wonder my right arm doesn't look like Popeye! What the hell am I watching anyway!?This is so fucked up. I am too young for this crap. I am 24 years old living in a country-like town far in the north of Sweden. This shithole is a place where people come...
We landed in Newcastle just before five in the morning, local time. Devin had us quickly loaded in a travel van, and on the road to Ambleside. The driver said it would take two hours to get there, but Devin promised a big tip if we got there sooner. We arrived in front of the hotel at six forty-five. There, everyone got out except Devin and me. The Langdale Valleys are located in the Lake District National Park in the county of Cumbria, in the northwest of England. There are two valleys, the...
Bo Harrington met us at the apartment where we'd be staying. He'd found us a three bedroom within walking distance of the Camp, and Hunter and Ridge had agreed to room with me. Bo suggested we needed time away from the facility. Bo had rented the unit right across from us. I got settled into my room, and joined him across the hall. The West Coast guys were not getting in until late this afternoon. I'd caught the first flight out of O'Hare and had arrived just before lunch. Bo had food...
** This story is completely fictional. Please Enjoy! Rebecca could see up her skirt as she held Amy high above her head. “Nice ass, Amy.” That got a few chuckles from her fellow cheerleaders and a blushing face from her best friend. Rebecca and the other cheerleader holding Amy up released her feet and caught her as she twirled into their arms. Amy gave a death stare to Rebecca once she got back onto her feet. Rebecca just smiled back and laughed. She always enjoyed teasing Amy since she knew...

This story is quite outside my usual genre. It is hot, sexy and full of twists and turns. Fair warning, it is also a LONG story. Still, I hope you will enjoy it. Steffi the Sophomore Part Two I had no idea what Steffi was thinking at that moment, but I was practically terrified. Steffi and I had just gotten caught by my girlfriend while we were having sex. When I say caught, I mean CAUGHT! We were both naked on the bed in the guest room with Steffi laying spread legged on top of me...
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1991 “I’m out in the cold (out in the cold) Body and soul (out in the cold) There’s nowhere to go (out in the cold) I’m out in the cold (out in the cold)” Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers had it about right. I was out in the cold. Of course, I still slapped the snooze button and shut him up anyway. I had a riot of feelings to deal with. Two rejections, were weighing heavily on my mind. Sure, I had sort of patched things up with Shelby. At the same time, we were...
August-September 1978 The next week flew by. On Sunday, we used my tickets and went to another baseball game. The Reds were hosting the Cubs. Tom Seaver pitched a lousy game and the Reds lost 7-1. Bethany joined us this time, because Mary wasn’t able to go. As luck would have it, the same guys were sitting behind us. “Hey, what happened to the sexy blonde?” “She couldn’t make it today, but this is another one that he’s had sex with,” Melanie said. “Melanie!” I growled. “Oh stop, Steve!”...
I woke up early and ran. Today was a lovely summer day. You could smell the cut grass, which reminded me I needed to mow our lawn. I took in our neighborhood as it slowly came awake. As I began to run I knew I needed to think. I quickly fell into the zone. Tami dating Trevor had rocked me. I'd been making decisions based on our long term relationship above and beyond just friendship. She said nothing had changed, but for me it had. My other two best friends, Alan and Jeff, were nowhere as...
FRESH MEAT A tall statuesque blond suddenly leaned forward and stared predatorily at a young guy sitting alone at the bar. Ummm thought Sarah, slim build, not too tall, longish legs, cute butt, but best of all and at this point Sarah Jane purred, rather akin to a leopardess eyeing its quarry, he was "ALONE," fucking perfect!!! Jimmy Kaminski had just had a shitter of a day, he'd been for yet another job interview and again another fucking knock back, he couldn't understand it, he...
By the time I made it to school on Monday, there was lots of news. The first was Lindsey's tirade, which blew up on YouTube. My comment about Thank God that date is over was receiving the majority of the comments and Lily told me 90% were in my favor. The second was my confirmation of Adrienne having my love child. Lily was monitoring my twitter account and I had girls offering to show me the natural way to do it. Adrienne had called me on Sunday and asked if this was revenge for standing...
I had been feeling off all day Monday. I think the reality of life in New York finally sank in. That life had nothing to do with how I lived or wanted to live. The drugs and violence were not a part of my existence. The twins had been hurt. They came close to something truly awful happening. When I got home from school, I called Tami. She got onto the video chat and could tell something was wrong. "Is it your Mom?" she asked. "No, actually she is coming home tomorrow." "That's great...
March 15, 1983, McKinley, Ohio “I’m Clarissa Saunders and this is Mike Loucks! We’re Sophomores and we’ll be your guides for your campus tour, and we’ll do our best to answer any questions you have.” I surveyed the prospective Freshmen and wondered if I’d looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a truck when I’d been on my first campus visit. I probably had, and several of the High School Seniors in our group certainly looked that way, especially one guy who was about an inch taller...
I slept most of the ride back. When I was about a half hour out, I called Mona to see if she wanted to pick me up. I then called home and Mom answered. I told her Dad was off the hook for picking me up. She laughed and said they forgot they were supposed to come get me. It must suck getting old. They say your memory is the first thing to go. Mona was waiting for me when we pulled up. She suggested going to her place to talk, but her parents were home. I told her we could go to my place. I...
Today I was meeting with my speed training coach at the gym. There had been some hassle to get him in the gym, because they didn't like outside trainers. They ended up making me pay for a guest pass to let him use the facility. I met him at the counter at the entrance. He was a young guy in his twenties who looked like he worked out ... a lot. "Jack?" I asked. "You must be David. Bo told me you were in shape. I hear you need to make some quick improvements in your speed before next...
He was laying in her bed, pants strewn across the floor nearby. For the first time in over 2 weeks, his girlfriend was giving him head. Ally looked up at him wordlessly from between his legs, and kept working at him. He'd asked for a quick BJ before the two of them left for school, which she'd agreed to, under the condition that it was indeed, "quick". Jake, however, wanted to make the experience last. Ally'd been giving him major blue balls, lately, and he was trying to milk the...
It was a small shop. It carried the oddities of the world. The things that odd people needed for their potions and lotions and curative powders. It was dark, no matter how many lights he lit. The windows were covered with old dust and cobwebs. Shelves lined every wall, and every shelf was lined with vials and bottles and boxes of ingredients needed for many an unusual concoction or elixir. It was not a lucrative shop. But it was all he had. All Harold and his mother had, inherited from his...
SeductionDecember 26, 1982, West Monroe, Ohio “Shit!” I swore vehemently, and in English for effect, when I walked out onto the porch on Sunday morning. “Mikhail Petrovich!” Mom said sternly. I picked up the box on the front porch and turned to show her. “«Говно»!” she replied. I nodded, “Nice to know you agree with me.” The box was the one that held the two stuffed rabbits I’d bought for Jocelyn. The fact that she’d returned them spoke volumes, and short of putting up a tombstone, I wasn’t sure...
