FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1991
More punctual than ever, Lexie pulled the Hunter minivan down our long driveway. As the van pulled closer, I noticed Mitch was not in his usual place in the passenger bucket seat.
Mandy Prentice was in his place. This was odd, but nothing was ever ordinary when Lexie was involved.
As the van pulled up and I hopped in, I noticed all three girls were rocking their sunglasses. Mandy had identical aviators to both Lexie and my gorgeous girlfriend.
“Ladies,” I smiled as I slid next to Deedee and wrapped her up in a hug and a meaningful kiss.
“Muah!”
“I missed you, boyfriend,” she grinned, her cute dimples in full effect.
“I missed you too.”
“Awwwwwwww,” Mandy teased with extra syrup. “You two are so adorable.”
“It’s all her,” I stage whispered.
“He’s not wrong,” Lexie said tightly, but with a slight grin in the rearview mirror.
“So what’s the plan?” I asked casually.
“Well, there is the baseball game,” Mandy said airily.
“I don’t see any jerseys on you girls?”
“I never got one,” Mandy pouted. “But I don’t think these two want to go to the game anway.”
Deedee blushed a little. Lexie smirked as she pulled down our long driveway.
“Alright, is there a party?”
“Maaaaybe,” Deedee teased.
“You guys should have told me. I would have arranged for beer,” I complained.
“We have it all taken care of this time,” Lexie said flatly. “You took good care of us at the quarry. Let us take care of you this time.”
Deedee nodded with a predatory grin.
I shrugged. “OK, so then where’s Mitch?”
“At the game,” Lexie replied. “Didn’t want to miss his brother pitching again.”
I nodded at her in the rearview mirror in understanding.
That seemed to be all the information they would be providing, so I just relaxed back into the bench seat and leaned my head against my girl’s shoulder. She cooed as I snuggled up against her.
“Adorable,” Mandy sighed, sneaking a peek back at us.
Lexie mimed a finger down her throat and a queasy look on her face. Deedee kicked the back of her seat sharply.
I laughed hard at that. Deedee giggled as well.
“So where’s the party?” I queried impatiently.
“All in due time, Parker,” Lexie teased. “Burgers first.”
I could live with that. We pulled up to The Corner, which was not a happenin’ joint on that Friday night. Most were at the ball game, or wherever their early summer night might take them. There were only a couple of other tables taken.
We sat down at a booth, with Deedee sliding in first. Lexie followed Mandy into their side of the booth. A clearly bored Allison Grimes brought menus, stifling a yawn as she did.
“Hey guys!” she still put on a show of good service.
We ordered drinks, and I didn’t notice her sitting in another booth until Allison walked off with our drink orders, but I did my best to hide my reaction.
A flash of platinum blonde hair was peeking over one of the booths in my direction, and I made eye contact over my menu with Betsy Morris.
I couldn’t tell exactly who she was with, but it was a guy for sure. Was she on a date? Oh well, none of my business, really. “Whatcha gettin’?” Deedee drawled at me.
“Um, bacon double,” I answered after a pause. “What are you gettin’?”
“Pizza burger. Will you eat some of my fries?”
“For you, I could make that sacrifice,” I poured it on thick with my hand over my heart.
Deedee giggled, a pink hue rising on her dimpled cheeks.
“They’re so adorable it’s almost disgusting. You’re right, Lexie,” Mandy complained with a grin.
Allison came back with our drinks. Deedee and I were sharing a malt again. Allison took our food orders, and I couldn’t help but notice a set of blue eyes on me again. Betsy and I locked eyes once again, before she quickly looked away.
“An order of fried pickles for the table,” Lexie drawled.
“Fried pickles?” I asked with skepticism.
“You’ll fall in love,” Lexie dared me.
I let Mandy and Deedee order, then asked for a double bacon cheese, with fries and handed Allison my menu with a smile. She ran off to put our orders in.
Deedee waited for me expectantly at the malt between us. I popped two straws open and pushed them both into the thick, chocolate malt. We leaned in close and sucked up malt at the same time, looking into each other’s eyes and grinning around the straws.
“OK, why did I come here with these two love birds?” Mandy faux complained.
“I know a handful of a guys who would kill to share a malt with you,” I leveled at Mandy, pointing at the malt for emphasis.
“Eh, I’ve had guys. I’m waiting for a man. And I want to share more than a malt,” she husked with a wicket little grin, pointing at herself for more emphasis yet.
Lexie laughed out loud and Deedee giggled with fresh freckles and a blush.
“OK, then I know even more guys who would buy you a malt and skip ahead to the good stuff. Not sure about men just yet. What do you expect from us?”
“I dunno, so many immature boys still, even the juniors, like at the pool,” Mandy complained.
Lexie agreed. “Boys, making fart noises and pulling on ponytails. It’s tiresome when there are men to be had.”
“Men to be had?” I laughed. “You’re going to get MEN arrested trying to date them.”
“Present company excluded from the ponytail pulling and fart noises,” Lexie said almost warmly.
That was the closest to a compliment I think the icy girl had ever offered me. And the word ‘fart’ was very strange coming from Lexie’s mouth.
“Uh, yeah, I try, I guess.”
“Jake’s not like that at all,” Deedee admonished both girls.
I wasn’t exactly comfortable in this atmosphere of pure estrogen, but I tried to give as well I got.
“Lucky you got him first,” Mandy teased, looking at Deedee threateningly.
“Back off, bitch,” Deedee giggled. “He’s MY man.”
All three girls laughed at that.
“I suppose he’s a man, or as close as it gets for our class,” Mandy grumped.
“I’m sure you’ll find a nice man to boss around soon enough,” I teased the short raven-haired girl.
Just then, Allison was back with four small plates and “Fried pickles for the table,” she mimed Lexie with a giggle.
Well, they looked interesting. Crinkle-cut dill pickle chips in a golden brown batter with a couple of little plastic cups of ranch dressing.
Lexie grabbed one of the hot appetizers, swirled it in the creamy dressing and popped it into her mouth in a less than ladylike manner. She made a rapturous face, wiggled her eyebrows at me and then pushed the plate at me expectantly.
“Alright, alright, I’ll give it a try.
All eyes were on me as a snatched up a smaller crispy pickle chip and drowned it in the ranch for a few moments, then bravely tried it.
‘Oh, nice,’ I thought. ‘Crispy, salty, vinegary, and then creamy with the ranch.’
“I like pickles, so I don’t know why I didn’t think I’d like these,” I admitted.
“But are you in love?” Lexie asked airily.
“I’m going to need to put my mouth on a lot more before I decide,” I said, wiggling my eyebrows back at Lexie and giving Deedee a meaningful look.
Now it was Mandy’s turn to blush, which I wasn’t sure was possible.
Deedee was blushing a deep red, with freckles in full effect.
Suddenly, Betsy was standing at the table with the guy in tow.
“I hope you three ladies are keeping this one in line,” she chuckled.
“Hi Betsy,” I said warmly. “This is Mandy and Lexie, and I think you know Deandra.”
“Hi girls,” the beautiful blonde made a small wave.
“This is Royce,” Betsy blushed lightly.
“Hi, Royce,” I smiled.
Royce looked to be about 21, with longer-styled dark hair. He was well-dressed, handsome and around 5’11 with some beard stubble. Modelish? I guess. Kind of pretty for a guy in my estimation, but that could just be pure jealousy on my part.
“We’re doing our best to keep him in line,” Lexie filled in the awkward pause in the conversation. She was a master at such social graces.
I wasn’t.
“Have you two tried the fried pickles here? I just had one for the first time. Heavenly,” I exaggerated.
“Oh, I’m stuffed, Jake, but thanks,” Betsy waved me off.
Then Allison saved us all, carrying a big tray loaded with our burgers.
“Well, that’s our cue,” Betsy smiled. “Nice to meet you two, and see you two, Jake and Deandra,” she said awkwardly as she led Royce away.
We all waved goodbye. Allison put our burgers in front of us.
“Awkward,” Lexie said cooly.
“Now that,” Mandy groaned. “That is a man.”
“Psshhh!” the air escaped my mouth derisively. “That dude couldn’t change a tire if you spotted him four lug nuts.”
“I don’t need a tire change,” Mandy added wistfully.
I rolled my eyes and checked Deedee for her reaction.
“Jealous?” she smirked mirthfully.
“Of him?” I asked incredulously, jerking a thumb back to where he had stood. “Hardly. That dude probably had a salad.”
“Wanna bet?” Lexie leveled her gaze at me cooly.
“Absolutely. What’s the bet?”
“If I’m right, you owe me a favor. If you’re right, we’ll tell you where we’re going tonight.”
“That’s not worth it,” I shook my head, taking a bite of my burger. Oh, God, they made a good burger here.
Deedee was already trying to feed me fries. Mandy was rolling her eyes.
“Then what’s the bet?” Lexie asked impatiently.
“If that dude had a salad, you tell me the truthful answer to one question I ask you.”
“Deal,” she said decisively, and shoved her hand out at me.
“But you have to guess what he had if it wasn’t a salad, or it doesn’t count,” I added, holding my hand back from hers.
“Deal,” she said confidently. “He had a steakburger with everything on it.”
“Hold on a minute,” I laughed. “You think that guy had the biggest item on the menu? That guy?”
The steakburger was a full pound of grilled hamburger served with onions, peppers, cheese and bacon on it. It didn’t come with a side because no one could eat the side if they ate the whole thing anyway. Beast can take one on, but even he does so with abundant caution. I didn’t see this skinny clown carrying a to-go box. I felt confident.
I took Lexie’s smaller hand in mine and shook it firmly. “Deal.”
Allison was back to the table to check on us.
“Question,” Lexie smiled at Allison. “The guy with Betsy Morris, what did he eat?”
Allison had a sharp mind, and rarely forgot an order, but she had to shuffle through her tickets.
“Cobb salad,” she said quizzically. “Why?”
I slow clapped and laughed directly at Lexie for effect.
“As if!” Lexie complained.
The other two girls laughed out loud. Poor Allison was just confused.
“Sorry, Alli, she and I had a bet on what he ate. I guessed salad. She guessed steakburger.”
“Steakburger? That guy?” Allison covered her mouth with her hand. “He didn’t eat half the salad.”
“Told you,” I admonished no one in particular, and pushed a handful of salty, crispy fries into my mouth.
Lexie looked at me darkly. “Well, what’s the ‘one truth?’”
“Not right now. Just like you wouldn’t have cashed in your favor right now.”
Lexie’s eyebrows dropped and I knew I was right. Allison headed off for a couple of refills. Deedee fed me a crinkle cut french fry to my smiling delight, and even Mandy thought it was funny.
“Nope,” I looked at Lexie. “I’m going to put that one in my pocket for later.”
I took another big bite of my burger, hoping to finish it off before it got cold.
Allison returned with three tickets and a refill for Mandy and Lexie.
Deedee and I were still working on the big malt.
Lexie and Alli were discussing something about getting off early.
We paid, and I made sure Allison had a nice tip.
We piled back into the van and I leaned into my girl once again.
“I’m stuffed,” I sighed. “But I can make room for a few beers.”
The girls all giggled at me, trying to stifle their laughter.
“What?”
“Nothing,” Deedee teased. “You still have no idea where we’re going.”
In truth, I didn’t, but the surprise couldn’t last that much longer.
“Oh well,” I shrugged. “I’m in good hands wherever we go.”
“Awwwwww,” Deedee sighed, and touched her finger to my chin dimple, then kissed it lightly.
“They’re like friggin’ cotton candy back there,” Mandy grumped again.
A knock came on the passenger side sliding door. Allison had just enough time to change and catch us before we left.
I slid the door open for her.
“I hope I don’t smell like the fryer,” she cocked her head apologetically, slipping past me into the back bench.
“They should bottle that. Would drive some us guys nuts,” I deadpanned.
“Noooo!” she complained. “I hate smelling like that place.”
“You smell good enough to eat,” Mandy teased.
I slid the door closed and Lexie fired up the van. We were off once again, and I had no idea where.
I didn’t have to wait long to find out. Just a few blocks away, Lexie pulled in front of a few houses and parked along the street, shutting down the van. “Who lives here?” I asked.
“Lea lives here,” Allison blurted out.
“Alli!” the girls complained.
“Jake was totally in the dark,” Deedee giggled.
I just shrugged. Lea Rens was one of our classmates and someone who sat at the big table with us. She was a taller, talkative girl with long, dirty blonde hair in her ubiquitous ponytail. She was very much an athlete, playing basketball and volleyball, with track thrown in for good measure. She wasn’t precisely my type, but she had pretty blue eyes and an angular, modelish face.
The five of us exited the van, and I followed the always-confident Lexie up the driveway of a split-foyer home. I was hand-in-hand with Deedee. Mandy and Alli followed along. I had no idea of what to expect.
Lexie rang the doorbell, and waited with her hip thrust out to the side.
I was a little surprised to see an older man, likely Lea’s father answer the door.
“Come on in,” He said with a friendly smile. “They’re all downstairs.”
Lexie strode in confidently. The rest of us followed Lexie down the stairs.
The five of us stepped down into a large family room, with a big TV playing MTV to a room full of about six other bored teens.
“Lexie!” Lea squealed, then greeted the rest of us just as excitedly, doling out hugs as if it had been months since school had ended.
Allison was reunited with her boyfriend Chad Woody, already in attendance. Autumn Kent, Lea’s best friend, was splayed out in a beanbag chair in the corner, her mop of curly red hair laid out around her head. My baseball teammates Chris Anders and Corey Blank were sitting on the floor, fiercely playing a football game on the Nintendo on another smaller TV screen.
This basement was a sweet setup for any teen, even more so for a girl. There was even a card table in a corner with some snacks and soft drinks. I could tell this would be a dry party.
Since the surprise was over, Deedee spilled the beans to me.
“Lea has these little mini-parties once in a while. Her parents let her have about twelve or so people come over.”
I nodded in understanding, but I wondered how many of these had happened without my knowledge before. Also, if I were a single guy, I’d call this party a target-rich environment.
“This is why we laughed at you for thinking about bringing beer,” Deedee grinned at me.
“Yeah,” I blushed. “That would have been awkward at the front door.”
Three couches framed the room, with a square coffee table in the center, and the TV was the centerpiece of an entertainment center at the far wall. One door was open, apparently to Lea’s room, the other closed. This room seemingly took up about a quarter of the size of the whole home. Nice layout.
“Jake, welcome to my house,” Lea said breezily.
“Thanks for having me,” I said politely.
“Once in a while my parents let me host a small party, to keep me out of trouble, I think,” she said conspiratorially. “No sex, drugs or rock and roll.”
The Black Crowes were on MTV at that moment.
“Careful now,” I pointed at the TV. “That appears to be rock and roll.”
Lea giggled and slapped me on the arm. “You know what I meant.”
Deedee pulled me to one of the couches and plopped down, yanking me down with her. She snuggled into me and purred.
“Does this ever stop?” Mandy complained to Lexie.
“You said we were cute earlier,” Deedee tutted at Mandy.
Lexie rolled her eyes, and turned to talk to Lea.
The idea of no sex tonight held no appeal for me. I’d even stashed a condom in my wallet in case things got hot and heavy. I gave Deedee a mock pout.
“She said no sex,” I batted my lashes at Deedee.
“Awwwww, poor baby,” she cooed at me. “You weren’t going to tonight anyway,” she grinned. “My visitor,” she whispered.
‘Ah shit,’ I thought.
“It’s OK,” I admitted. “You know I can wait.”
“Best boyfriend ever,” she smiled, kissing my chin dimple.
“Ugh,” Mandy complained. “Get a room.”
I pointed toward Lea’s room helpfully.
“Oh no!” Lea said quickly.
“Just kidding,” I laughed, Deedee laughed along with me.
“OK, so what do we do here?” I asked innocently.
It was a good question. A few people were standing and chatting. Deedee and I held down one couch, while Woody and Allison held down the other. Autumn looked ready to fall asleep, but seemed to stir at my question. Chris and Corey were oblivious as the Cowboys and Steelers battled on the smaller TV they were glued to.
“Sorry, what?” Lea asked me.
“Um, just curious what we should do.”
“Well, have a party,” she said a little incredulously. “There’s snacks, and the TV and the Nintendo, and...”
“And people ready to sleep,” I finished for her, pointing at Autumn.
Lea looked a little hurt.
“No, no, I’m not saying we have to get wild, but maybe we should all do something together. Play a card game or something.”
Autumn sat up, fully in interest.
Lexie sighed. “He’s probably right. He does party more than the rest of us, so he knows.”
That wasn’t strictly true, but I knew boring when I saw it. Lexie and Mandy plopped into the open couch, leaving Lea to stand.
“I dunno, what card game can we all play?”
Slender little Autumn rolled out of the beanbag chair and stretched.
“Never have I ever,” she grinned with a raised eyebrow.
That might have been the most forward thing I’d ever heard her say.
A smile spread over Lexie’s face. Mandy raised an eyebrow.
“I dunno guys,” Lea said hesitantly.
“Well, it’s your house. Your rules,” I offered helpfully.
“Oh, it would be fun,” Lexie enthused. “Come on, get everyone around the coffee table!”
Lexie slid down the couch and folded over her legs to sit on the floor in front of the coffee table. Mandy quickly followed suit. Autumn grinned and plopped down on the open end of the square table with a thud. Deedee shrugged at me and slipped down to the floor. Allison dragged Woody down to the floor as well and I followed along.
Only Lea and the boys at the Nintendo weren’t at the table.
“OK, but we have to keep it down. I don’t want my parent’s to hear a word of this,” Lea admonished, before blushing and sitting down.
“Boys!” Lexie admonished.
“What?” Chris Anders complained.
“Get over here,” Lexie commanded.
Corey peeked over during his play selection. “For what?”
“We’re gonna play ‘Never have I ever.’”
Both Corey and Chris looked at the crowd at the table, then at each other.
“Nah,” both shook their heads.
“Wouldn’t be fair if they can hear but not play along,” Lexie grumped lightly.
“I don’t think they’ll hear a thing,” I said flatly.
“We’re fine,” Lea admitted. “Just keep it down.”
“So,” I asked the obvious elephant-in-the-room question. “How do we do this without beers?”
Lea groaned. “I have a table full of pop. Everyone go get some.
Everyone was up in a flash, grabbing a can of pop and sitting back down. I’d have to settle for a Coke this time. It wasn’t my preference.
“OK, who starts?” Autumn asked excitedly.
Her enthusiasm was uncharacteristic. Perhaps she’d been a little bored for a while.
“It’s Jake’s first time here,” Lexie said cooly. “Let him start.”
I shot a look toward Lexie, suddenly wondering if playing this game with her at the table was a good idea. Oh well, I had little to hide.
Everyone settled in around the table and looked at me expectantly. Chris and Corey’s refusal to play left this game very female-dominant, with only Woody and I representing the Y chromosome.
“Never have I ever...” I paused for a moment to think. Eight faces looked to me in suspense
“Never have I ever eaten sushi.”
My response was greeted with soft rush of exhales.
“That’s it?” Lexie teased.
“Did you mean that in some other way,” Mandy asked with her wicked grin.
“No,” I said flatly. “I’ve never eaten sushi.”
“Maybe there just aren’t a lot of things he hasn’t done,” Autumn added bravely.
I blushed a little at that, but noticed Lexie was the only one to drink, finally.
“How was it?” I asked Lexie.
“Oh, the sushi?” Lexie shot back. “There are no followup questions,” she winked at me.
There were giggles around the table at that.
“Who’s next?” Autumn asked excitedly.
“Deedee,” Lexie looked expectantly at my girlfriend.
“Never have I ever ... Driven a tractor,” she blurted out.
“I can fix that easily,” I said before taking my first sip of Coke.
Woody joined me. None of the girls did.
Autumn was up next and was thinking hard.
“Never have I ever been completely naked with someone of the opposite sex,” she blushed at a level of redness unseen even in Deedee.
I sipped. Deedee sipped. Mandy sipped. Surprisingly, both Woody and Allison sipped, with both of them blushing in embarrassment as well. Lexie and Lea did not sip, but made teasing noises at Alli and Woody.
The fun level had indeed been turned up a notch, and I saw a side to Autumn I’d never seen before.
“Woody, your turn,” Lexie admonished, clearly wanting the fun to continue.
“I’m thinking,” he complained.
“Never have I ever been in the girl’s locker room,” he finished quickly.
All the girls sipped. Woody and I did not. He made that easy.
Everyone looked to Alli expectantly.
“Never have I ever been totally naked in a car,” she grinned, blushing lightly.
I sipped, wondering if I might need a few more cans of Coke if the questions kept up in this direction. Deedee raised the can halfway to her mouth, then put it back down after a moment of thought. Mandy sipped.
I gave Deedee a questioning look.
“I was always wearing at least something,” she shrugged with a blush.
“NO followup questions,” Lexie literally snapped her fingers at me.
“I didn’t ask anything,” I laughed.
Mandy was up and deep in thought.
“Never have I ever had sex at school.”
No one moved a muscle, then I took a sip.
The intake of gasps was palpable.
“Where did you have sex at school,” Mandy asked before anyone could stop her.
“No followup questions,” I teased with a shit-eating grin.
Deedee gave me a sly grin, but had to know who I’d done that with. I wasn’t ashamed, just feeling a touch picked on.
Lexie was up.
“Never have I ever had a three-way,” she grinned, already looking at me.
I held the can for show, inspecting it before taking a quick sip.
“Not exactly a secret after the quarry party, Lexie,” I shrugged.
Mandy was giving me a wicked grin. Lea looked a little pale, but it was her turn.
“Never have I ever drank more than one beer in a night,” she intoned.
Everyone else at the table, even Autumn, took a sip.
It was already my turn again. I was a little tired of being picked on, but this game was tough for me to do battle, as I was a little ahead of the curve on most things.
“Never have I ever...”
I wanted to find something to get after the girls with, but I was struggling to find something I hadn’t done. Then it dawned on me.
“Never have I ever had had a cock in my mouth.”
Woody chuckled. I let my eyes wander around the table. Deedee took a sip. Mandy practically chugged a drink. Lexie sat cooly, but reluctantly took a drink. Allison didn’t move a muscle. Then Autumn lifted her can to her mouth with a grin, and a took a long sip.
“Whoah!”
Most of us all had that same shocked reaction. Pale, waifish Autumn, just shocked us all, her hazel eyes shining. It was like boisterous Lea and Autumn had changed places for tonight.
Lea had her mouth wide open at her best friend. Autumn smiled and blushed at the same time.
To break the silence, I reached over Deedee and held my hand up for a high-five.
Autumn giggled and slapped her palm onto mine.
“Holy shit,” Lea gasped, then covered her mouth at her own profanity.
“It was last summer at church camp,” Autumn said quietly.
“There are no followup...”
“Shut up!” I whispered harshly at Lexie.
Autumn looked around the table and must have sensed this was going nowhere until we heard more.
“OK, yeah, church camp,” she blushed. “We were playing truth or dare, and there was this boy I liked. I was dared to take a boy into another room with a lock on it and do whatever I wanted with him.”
Outside of the noise of the Nintendo, you could have heard a pin drop in the room. All eyes were on the painfully quiet girl as she let her story unfold.
“Anyway,” she blushed a deeper shade of red. “I took him into the room and locked the door. I let him kiss me, and stuff, and we had all the time we wanted, so I said if he showed me his, I’d show him mine.”
Eyes were wide open. No one dared breathe. Corey and Chris were oblivious to the shy redhead baring her most private secret.
“So we did that,” she giggled. “And he was all, I dunno, hard I guess.”
She covered her mouth to stifle a giggle.
“Soooo, I decided I would try it and I did,” she finished quickly, then covered her blushing face.
No one dared speak, but eyes were wide, mouths were open.
“Let’s switch to truth or dare?” I said, only half kidding. Deedee popped me in the shoulder.
“We will not be playing that in this basement,” Lea admonished quietly.
“I go to the wrong church,” Woody joked. Allison slapped his shoulder similarly.
We all rolled with laughter.
“Woody, you’re up,” Lexie pointed, obviously wanting to keep the game going.
“Truth or dare?” I teased.
“We are NOT doing that,” Lea grumped.
“Just kidding.”
Woody seemed lost in thought, trying to come up with something. Then, like a bolt of lightning, genius struck him.
“I’ve never, no wait...” He stalled for a moment’s time. “Never have I ever had to spit or swallow.”
He grinned at his own brilliance, and cast a knowing look at poor Autumn.
Deedee took a sip with a flourish. Mandy chugged the last of her Coke. Lexie took a rather reluctant sip. Lea sat frozen in place, as did Allison.
A sly smile spread over Autumn’s face as she put her can to her lips and took a dramatic swig.
“Ahhh,” she savored the drink dramatically.
“Autumn, you little slut,” Lea gasped as quietly as her surprise would allow.
“That does NOT make her a slut,” Mandy challenged.
The room was alive with giggles, gasps, and grins.
“Which was it?” Lexie cut through the din in a soft tone.
“There are no followup...”
“Shut up!” Lexie leveled at me.
All eyes were on Autumn again, who seemed to be ready to tell all for just the cost of admission once again. She fidgeted a little, squirming in her seated position on the floor, before leaning both palms on the table.
“I guess I didn’t expect it, so I didn’t know exactly what to do,” she admitted quietly. “But yeah, after it happened, I just sort of swallowed it.”
“Guys,” Lea interrupted before anyone else could ask another question. “We have to promise to keep all this a secret.”
There were murmurs of agreement and some of disagreement, but as we were all keen to hear anything Autumn had to say, we all sharply brought our attention to her again.
“Nope,” she said softly. “I don’t care who knows. I didn’t say his name. I’m almost 16, and I’m going to be a sophomore and it’s OK for me to have more mature relationships.”
That sentence, in its entirety, was likely more words strung together than I’d ever heard from her before this night, and they were profound. I had an entirely new respect for the quiet girl.
“So how was, ‘just bowling,’” Mikey teased, complete with air quotes, as he landed in the bus seat next to mine. I returned his jab with a bemused grin. “Fine, just fine.” His eyes searched me over, sizing me up. He raised an eyebrow and leaned in. “You got laid, didn’t you?” He accused, surprisingly quietly. “I most certainly did not,” I said in mock indignation. “And I’ll thank you not to spread such rumors, sir.” He burst into laughter, not sure if he’d guessed on the mark or not, but...
A strikeout, two walks, a single and a double. That’s how I did on a Friday night in front of a big home crowd. We played before the varsity game due to the rainout Tuesday. Mitch pitched a full game, but the game actually ended in the 6th at 12-0 on the mercy rule. Riverton was not good at baseball. Mitch had a 3-run homer in the first. There were at least two scouts at the game to watch his brother, but there was no doubt he wanted to put on a good show as well. He certainly did. I...
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1991 “I’m your dream, make you real I’m your eyes when you must steal I’m your pain when you can’t feel Sad but true” Waking up to one of the crunchiest guitar riffs of all time is not a bad way to start your day. I slapped the snooze bar and realized my palm was still pretty sore from that punt block. I was starting to wonder if the punter’s foot had connected with my hand. I had a bit of a bruise forming right in the center of my palm. Well, no matter. I couldn’t...
FRIDAY, JULY 6, 1990 Under of the guise of visiting Mikey, I took the three-mile bicycle ride to town on a sunny Friday afternoon. I set my bike in a rack at the park and waited at the swings, just as we’d agreed. The park was mostly empty, with some kids playing basketball some distance away. The pool would open soon. Not two minutes later, there she was, sauntering up to me from her open garage door. As usual, Melody looked fantastic in flip flops, short shorts and a tank top. She topped...
SUNDAY, MAY 26, 1991 My Sundays are my own. Well, my Sundays are supposed to be my own. Oh well. My family actually skipped church. Mom and dad were hosting their annual Memorial Day party the next day. I had to do some cleaning up around the yard, and set up the volleyball poles and net for the party. At lunch, I got to catch some of the Indy 500 on TV. I missed the end of the race, but Rick Mears won his third Borg-Warner Trophy. Dad had plans for me in the afternoon. The weather had...
FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1991 Just like the school year, the summer finds a pattern. Weekends aren’t much different than weekdays, other than the rhythm of the activities. Tuesday means a baseball game. Baseball practice Wednesday and Thursday. Tutoring Tuesday through Thursday. Finding a way to get to the varsity baseball games Friday nights. Oh, and a Saturday at the race shop. The calendar says spring, but the weather and the school year say it’s summer. Summer goes from Memorial Day to Labor Day...
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1990 I dreaded going to school Tuesday even more than I had Monday. At breakfast, mom was trying to fish for more information on what was going on between Mel and me. I wasn’t biting today. No way I would ever want mom to hear a word of the rumor going around, at least if it was just a rumor. On the bus, I had to let Mikey in on it. He hadn’t heard, which was a good sign. It took little to convince him that I didn’t know anything about it, but I was going to find out...
I walked into the freshman hallway of the school and made my way to my intended target. She was, again, talking to Lexie and facing away from me. She was filling out a set of acid washed jeans rather nicely, a pink sweater over another button down long-sleeve. This time Lexie didn’t raise her eyebrows as I approached. “Parker,” Lexie announced, suddenly surprising Deedee. “You’ll be a dear be sure to bring your home jersey for Deedee to wear tomorrow morning? I stared blankly for a moment,...
SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 1991 Time was running out before I would turn 15. Sure, it was more than a month away, but we had a lot of work to do to get the racecar ready to go. I was up early Saturday. Mom cooked a fantastic breakfast, as she’d left some bread out the night before to get crusty, then made her signature french toast with it. It’s a hell of a way to start your day, full load of sugar and all. Josh and I loaded up, and mom drove us to grandpa’s shop. Today would be a little different,...
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1991 “Jake, I need you to wake up.” “Wha?” “Jake, it’s time to wake up.” “Huh?” I complained through bleary eyes, then suddenly gasped and sat straight up in the bed in a panic. Dad took a half step back, after shaking me on the shoulder. Was last night a dream? Was the whole day a dream? “What day is it?” I asked Dad desperately. He chuckled. “It’s Saturday morning, son.” My eyes started to get used to the harsh light of the lamp on my nightstand and I caught...
While it was true that Sundays were my own, for the most part, my Saturdays belonged to someone else. Since the racecar was in pieces and not back from the body shop, I belonged to dad for the day. Grandpa Parker was running the disc. Dad was planting, but he still had plans for me. “I’m going to have you field cultivate about 50 acres of last year’s sorghum,” dad said as he attached the old 4440 to the implement he was talking about. “Start with the end rows, then just try not to miss...
Saturday rolled around quickly, and I was thrilled to head to my grandpa’s shop with mom in the driver seat and little Josh strapped in the back. I had asked mom to let me drive, holding up my learner’s permit, but she was hesitant to let me drive with Josh in the car. “That’s some confidence you have in your future race car driver,” I grumped. “Jacob, I only have two of you. I don’t like taking chances with you both in the car.” “Alright,” I acquiesced, deciding we’d get to the shop...
SUNDAY, July 7, 1991 I saw some of Sunday before I ever got a chance to sleep. Between the extra adrenaline of racing for the first time, and a few Mountain Dews drank too late in the night, I was wired for sound. Before we finally bid goodbye to everyone at the track and brought the car back to the shop, I was directed to stop at the pit gate to pick up my winnings for the night. I was handed an envelope with $125 in it. I had finished 12th that night, the first of my racing career. I...
SATURDAY, JULY 13, 1991 ‘Breathe. Remember to breathe, moron.’ By mutual agreement, we decided I’d opt to go to the back of the heat race again. I needed the laps of experience before starting up front. That didn’t stop me from ripping off some fast laps in hot laps. I actually came up on a slower car in front of me, and had to back down or figure out a way to pass him on this narrow, tacky surface. I let him get a lead on me again, then tried some different lines, letting the car drift up...
FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1991 Edited by WRC264 I rumbled into Mandy’s driveway at the appointed time. This time she did let me get to the door and I did have a short and awkward talk with her parents, who were very nice. I knew them from years of being around their daughter. We’d been classmates many school years. Soon we were off to The Corner for supper and shakes, or a shake, I should say. We shared a big one. I had an extra critical eye for Allison as she served us, knowing the advice Woody...
MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1991 “Here we go around, ‘round, ‘round She givin’ me the run around, ‘round, ‘round, ‘round” I was up early with Van Halen, but shut my clock radio off immediately. Today would be the first day of football practice. I’d been doing this since 7th grade, but something felt very different for my sophomore year. I was taller, leaner and looking pretty ripped. I hadn’t done quite as much farm work that summer, but I was in the gym or at the running track four days a week,...
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1991 Little drops of perspiration gathered in the lovely valley of her spine where her back joined the round globes of her sexy little ass. She sighed in pleasure as she slowly ground her hips back and forth atop me, my throbbing cock trapped deep inside her hot, wet folds. I admired the two little dimples at the base of her lower back, and slid my hands over her hips, placing a thumb pad over both of those indentations in her nearly-flawless skin. Her skin was hot to...
TUESDAY, JULY 16, 1991 “I’m learnin’ to fly ... But I ain’t got wings...” The haunting tone of Tom Petty woke me from a fitful slumber. I knew who Tom Petty was, but I didn’t really consider him a rocker until this latest album. I let the whole song play before shutting my alarm off, just as the DJ started talking about a new album coming from Metallica. I skipped the shower and put my workout clothes on. That meant a muscle shirt and cloth shorts. I picked Mikey up at his house just...
WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 1991 Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” is a hell of a way to wake up in the morning. I slapped the snooze button on my clock radio, almost instantly regretting it. Of course, that radio was hardly a stereo, so the sound quality suffered immensely. I loved the song, but it was getting constant radio play in early September. Of course, I had a bootleg copy of the cassette tape so I knew there were many more songs on the album that were just as good. I became more aware of my...
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1990 HOMECOMING A new week had made life all good again. We played a freshman football game Monday afternoon. I dominated at defensive end with a pair of sacks and four solo tackles. I made a nice catch at tight end for twelve yards. We won 35-6. It was our first Homecoming Week, and my friends and I were learning the traditions. Monday had been White and Blue day. We dressed accordingly. Tuesday was 70s Day, and I raided dad’s closet for a wildly-printed polyester...
FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1991 I did something I had never done for a girl before. I wrote her some little notes. Sappy? Silly? Romantic? Maybe a little of all of the above, but Deedee was going to be gone for more than two weeks with little chance for contact, and I wanted to stay connected to her. She was a very good girlfriend, and I wanted to keep her that way. The idea was simple. I grabbed a stack of 17 Post-It notes. On the first note, I wrote: “For Deedee every day. Please peel off one note...
FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1991 “Jake, wake up. Do you have plans this morning?” “Wha?” Roused from rather pleasant dreams of pretty redheads and curvy raven-haired beauties, I rubbed the sleep from my eyes to consider the source of this rude awakening. “Dad?” “Jake, wake up!” I shook my head groggily, wondering what strenuous farm chore awaited me outside. “Yeah?” “Any plans this morning?” I guess not.” “Good,” dad grinned. “Someone from the phone company will be here sometime between now and...
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...
The Adventures of American-man: Dreamworld By Paul G Jutras Chapter One: Doorway of Doom October 31, 3086, a historical team uncovered a weird chest with pictures carved all over the outside. Each was dressed in hiking boots, knee-high socks, too tight shorts, sleeveless shirts and pit helmets. As one of them broke open the chest a mist rose out and formed into a skull headed demon. Rays shot from it's eye socks, transforming the girls' skin to plastic. As they fell over, the...
South American Cock TormentAndy Douglas was eighteen even though he only looked much younger. Five seven, he had a nice balance of slim waist, good shoulders and a neat, tight butt. Plenty of sport and exercise in the open air had given him a great tan and a body with good muscular definition including a modest six-pack. The sun had also bleached his shock of naturally blonde hair. Coupled with pale blue eyes and a ready smile he looked good and attractive?and he knew it.He liked girls, but...
You know, when you read "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" with a modern understanding of science, as a person who understands chemistry, biology, and psychology, the rational part of your mind will tell you it's not possible. That it makes for a fun story, but you could not drink a potion and transform either physically or mentally like the title character of that book. You can't change yourself like that. But the irrational part, oh it wishes you could. It looks at...

“The fuck was that this morning in the hallway?” Mike boomed, setting his lunch tray down to my right. “QUIET!” I seethed. “Nothing. I don’t know.” “THAT was not nothing,” Shelby added quickly from my left. I dropped my spoon back into my chili and closed my eyes. Oh yes, chili, maybe my favorite school lunch. And it seemed to taste better than usual today. Then again, maybe everything had started to taste better lately. “Look, I’m as confused as anyone. I’ve known Alexis since what,...
Deedee was holding my hand tightly and giving me doe eyes as we were once again on the back roads headed to my first high school party. “No one has ever done that for me,” Deedee whispered. “It was amazing,” she husked. “Done what, exactly?” I teased in a half-whisper. She bit her lip and shoved me lightly. “You know what!” she whispered with laughing eyes. “Oh,” I said in mock recognition, then leaned to whisper in her ear, my voice deepening. “Do you mean the part where I ran my tongue...
The rest of the week went very well, and I was in high spirits. Every other lunch period was spent either with my crew or my new girlfriend, and each side seemed to appreciate my company more. Well, other than Morgan, who was still a bitch to me. Two new things happened during the week, though. Beast asked if I’d like to go cruising with Tree and him at some point over the weekend. I had to tell him Friday was out, as I was going to the game and the opening night of races came Saturday...
I was up and at it early again Saturday morning with rather pleasant thoughts from the night before. Mom hustled me to grandpa’s shop and I went to it. Grandpa had clearly made more progress on the pit cart, with some metal cabinet doors now in place, along with a thin steel plate top. Work benches were getting cleared off and this was starting to look like a proper race shop again. Grandpa was out to help about an hour after I arrived. He ambled into the shop with a big thermos of coffee...
Deedee and I had surprises for each other Tuesday morning. I walked up to her locker just before classes started and handed her a freshly pressed gray jersey. She eagerly took it and opened her locker to hand me my white jersey. I made a show of pressing it to my nose. “How does it still smell like you?” “A girl has to have her secrets,” Deedee giggled, tapped my chin dimple and gave me a peck on the cheek before spinning off to the girl’s room to change into my jersey. “Get a room!” Mike...
We walked back inside and I quickly discovered my Sunday wasn’t over. Beast was on the line. “Parker, you wanna shoot hoops?” “Yeah, sounds good. We need a fourth?” “I supposed, who you got in mind?” “Mikey?” “Yeah, I guess I can kick his ass as easy as yours,” Beast chuckled. “I’ll call him.” “I’ll pick you both up and we’ll go to Tree’s.” “Later.” I asked mom and dad if I could go shoot hoops for the afternoon. “Be home for supper.” I could hardly think about supper. I was still...
TUESDAY, JUNE 4, 1991 I saw her for the first time on a rainy Tuesday morning. I had never seen anything like her before. But I’m getting way ahead of myself. Let’s skip back to earlier in the morning. Dad had ordered a few items for the Mustang. In particular, a few interior items he wanted fixed. He bought a headliner, new carpet and new vinyl for the both front seats. With installation, this was going to put him back nearly $400. But where to get the work done? Dad had called a brand...
TUESDAY DECEMBER 25, 1990, CHRISTMAS DAY I hadn’t seen Mel since Friday, and while I did miss her, it was probably good for my soul. Every moment seemed tumultuous, and drama buzzed around her like bees to flowers. We did everything at full throttle, whether it was making love or just not getting along. A few days of quiet time around my family was welcomed. Our family had our traditional Christmas Eve meal of oyster soup and appetizers like ham-wrapped pickles with pineapple cream cheese,...
FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 1991 After the playoff loss and public dumping, we skipped any kind of celebratory meal and headed home. I lugged my heavy bag of baseball gear into the house for the final time of the season. I didn’t even have time to strip and get my uniform into a soak before the phone rang. A tiny part of me wondered if Deedee had changed her mind. “Hello?” “Why didn’t you call me?” The feminine voice at the other end of the line was insistent and accusatory all at once. “I just...
SUNDAY, JUNE 30, 1991 I leaned forward with my head in my hands, rubbing my temples. Shelby pulled some of the blanket around her shivering form. It was a warm day, but a body soaked in sweat would get chilly in the breeze. Her horses, Destiny and Doc, munched grass lazily, paying us little heed. “Why not?” I asked the prairie scene in front of me, not wanting to look her in the eye. Shelby sighed and put her hand on my shoulder. “I might have done a bad thing today,” she sighed. “I did...
JULY 4, 1991 “Happy birthday, Jake.” It was a pleasant way to wake up. No alarm had been set. I was allowed to sleep in a bit. It was mom who woke me up in a gentle way at around 9:30. But it wasn’t her words that woke me up. It was the smell of bacon in the oven. I rolled out of bed and felt the sharp sting in my lower half. ‘Fucking leg day!’ I swore to myself. We’d spent the early part of Tuesday morning on the track, running short bursts of sprints on up to a full mile run. Then...
SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1991 ‘Breathe, just remember to breathe.’ The heat, the humidity. Oppressive. Harsh lights shining down on me. Mercifully, my Nomex head sock is soaking up the sweat from my head, keeping the stinging drips out of my eyes. My helmet feels a little suspiciously loose on my head, but the chinstrap is tight. All is almost silent here in the cockpit. I flip my visor up as my breathing is creating a little fog under the lense, with more than two dozen tear offs piled on...
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...
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1991 “What’s on your mind,” I asked as I closed my car door carefully. Jen seemed to stiffen and forced herself to turn towards me in her seat so that she couldn’t avoid looking at me. “What I said about the dance wasn’t entirely true.” “So you DO want to go to the dance?” I said with a lopsided grin. “I don’t know,” she said softly. “Let me finish.” “OK,” I replied, letting her continue. “I have gone to a dance before. It was, it was horrible.” “Go on,” I...
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1991 “And homegrown and down-home, that makes one Cookin’ up that old time, long lost recipe for me, woh It’s gettin’ hard to find Guess it ain’t hip enough now You take an average guy, he can’t identify, uh And there’s a short supply of her fine, fine stuff Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on some of that Shake it up, bake it up nice, uh Lemme get on, lemme get on, lemme get on all that I so love my baby’s poundcake.” Van Halen was so much better with Sammy...
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1991 I woke with excitement Sunday morning. No alarm set, just the refreshing feeling of sleeping in after being worked hard for a few days. Well, that and the fact that I would be shooting hoops with a tall, gorgeous blond that day. The tantalizing aroma of a beef roast in the crock pot was what got me awake. I followed my nose out to the kitchen to see it bubbling away on the counter top. The parents had, as usual, let me have my Sunday while they headed to church...
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1991 Seven days of kisses and bliss. Jen got her kiss every day for a seventh day. Every time I saw her or thought about her, the butterflies were there. We held hands in the hallways and word around school was that we were the hot couple. The upperclassmen had accepted and welcomed me with open arms. If I’d been placed on the varsity team at the start of the season, I’d have likely faced some hazing. As it was, saving the big game and showing them I belonged put...
Harold Spencer Eversly was on vacation in Acapulco with his Mom. He was sixteen but looked younger. His father had died suddenly when he was only eight leaving his Ma a very rich woman. She was very possessive and Harold was something of a mother’s boy. They traveled around a lot, all over the world. Harold had been to a lot of different schools but not learned much. He figured he didn’t have to with the money coming to him from a Trust when he was 25. Until then he was quite...
American-Man At War By Paul G. Jutras "1,2, 3, 4...." Christine said as she stood in gold three inch pumps and a backless evening gown with spaghetti straps. With the clicking of drumsticks the band prepared to join in. Soto began to played the guitar in his usual leather jacket, pants and boots and red tee shirt. Mark played the drums, Luke the keyboard in their yellow and red striped coveralls, and Starshine the tambourine in her purple blouse, leopard print mini skirt...
Ida Hoe was waiting nervously back stage as her arch rival, Holly Keyhole, performed on stage riding Hoss Bigg cowgirl style on a trampoline. She could hear the audience shouting in delight. The raucous cheers were almost deafening.Ida was horrified that Holly might give an unsurmountable performance. Ida barely trailed her for first place in this grand finale episode of Miss American Pornstar. Winning the title of the first Miss American Pornstar would not only make her the newest rage in the...
Group SexNew Job for American-Man By Paul G Jutras Since American-Man's appearance the crime rate in Federation city had dropped way down. Too bad the number band of gigs his rock band had were also way down. Needing the extra pay, it was in his American-Man form that he became a bag man at a Federation City super market. The job was easy and American-man changed his costume with the bluish green shirt, black slacks and sneakers of the market. When he eyed a shoplifter trying to head out...
Okay, here goes nothing. African-American guys like myself have a certain image in the eyes of the world. We’re thought of as tougher, meaner and more athletic than the average guy. Also, people seem to think we gravitate toward either athletic pursuits or criminal endeavors, and nothing in between. Neither is exactly true for most Black men living in the United States of America. Just to prove to you how untrue these stereotypes are, take me for example. My name is Arnold Thompson. And I’m a...
“We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried. Most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, ‘Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.’ I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.” ― J. Robert Oppenheimer It seems sort of strange looking back on the unfolding events of...
-We learned in Part One of this story that I was a sixteen year-old virgin boy named James, who everyone called Jimmy, with a very thick, nine-inch-long cock. My neighbor Norm was forty-two at the time. His wife Lindsey was forty-one and their son Todd was eighteen and away at college.I went with Norm to open his lake cabin for the summer. We were skinny dipping on an unusually warm day for spring in Wisconsin and he convinced me that we should masturbate one another on the boat. That evening...
MILFTo begin, may I must make something perfectly clear. I’m virgin by my haughty cousin’s definition -- he says we may do it now because it is very assuered our families will marry us together -- but that doesn’t mean I have never made love. My story begins at St. Mary’s, an elite English-medium secondary school for girls. St. Mary’s has a Christian headmistress and several Christian faculty, but few of the students are of that faith. Christians know academics better than do mullahs and holy men....
The unlucky American. ? A reader of some of my other stories challenged me to write one about a terrified boy enslaved by a girl. This is the outcome of my efforts. ? Note: Tim’s private thoughts are marked by single inverted commas: ‘Shit’; direct speech by double: "Yes, Mistress". ? Part one. ? "I'm an American citizen, for chrissake.

Promises and Secrets: A Teenage Transsexual By Maria Ski Things changed for me after I was discovered trying on my sisters clothes. My mother had caught me. But there was no anger, no disgust, just a warm understanding smile and the love of a mother. From that day of being discovered, and after telling my sisters things seemed to change. Every weekend I became Maria. With a wardrobe of girls clothes of my own which I either bought myself or had bought for me. One thing led to...
Author's Note; This story is a dedication to Tom Petty. Song meaning to me are very subjective. I can take someone different out of song than someone else. I can even take something different out of a song depending on my mood. So with saying that this story is how I filled in the blanks of this great song. Debra Webster was an American girl who was raised on her mom and dad's promises.These promises were being able to be whatever she wanted to be in life, and their daughter would...
Alright, I can finally admit it to myself. I am a Muslim. I used to be one of those people who felt a strong dislike of Muslims, until I fell in love with one. It’s funny how these things happen, huh? My name is Solomon Kingsley Henderson, although many of my friends have taken to calling me ‘King Suleiman’ in recent times. It’s my Muslim name, though it’s not on my passport or anything. My wife Khadija Abdullah certainly likes it. She’s a lovely lady of Somali descent who saved my life back in...
