October 1980, Milford, Ohio
Thursday and Friday were normal and Dona didn’t bother Bethany. I was glad, but I was a bit concerned that there would be more fallout. I hoped that wouldn’t be the case, but experience told me that there might be.
On Friday morning, the Student Council started handing out the computer dating sheets. I got mine and wasn’t surprised to see Bethany at the top of the list. Kathy and Mary were fourth and fifth, respectively, and Erin was ninth. The rest were a mix of sophomores and juniors who I knew by name but otherwise didn’t really know, except for the girl in the number six slot. That was Tracey Jones, the girl in Miss Barkhurst’s biology class.
In chemistry class, I asked Kara about her computer dating list.
“I would never do such a thing!”
“Afraid you might have me at the top of your list, Kara?” I chuckled.
“There’s no way! That would never be possible.”
“What? That a guy like me and a girl like you could have stuff in common?”
“We don’t have anything in common, Steve.”
“I bet you’re wrong,” I grinned.
“I’m sure I’m right,” she said smugly.
“Let’s make a bet, then,” I said. “We’ll both answer the questions on the form, then we’ll compare them. I win if we agree on more than half, you win if we disagree on more than half.”
“Why bother? I know how it will turn out.”
“Me too. That’s why I want to bet,” I said.
“Fine. It’s a bet.”
“If I win, you have to go out for ice cream with me,” I smirked.
“What, like a date?” she winced in disgust.
“Yes, a date, Kara!” I answered. “Not so sure of yourself now, are you?”
“I am absolutely sure! If I win, you can’t speak to me for the rest of the year unless I speak to you first.”
“Deal!” I said. “I’ll bring the questions on Monday and we can answer them.”
“Fine,” she said as the bell rang.
I chuckled to myself. I’d found out enough about her so far this year that it was a lock that I’d win the bet, even with giving totally honest answers to the questions.
After chemistry, I went to Miss Barkhurst’s class. It was a dissection day again, and as usual, Michelle and Tracey were having trouble. Miss Barkhurst sent me to help them as I had the previous times.
“Steve, when are you going to ask me out?” Michelle asked, her voice sickeningly sweet.
“If you’re just looking for a good time, Michelle, any time,” I smirked. “But you need to deal with the dissection first.”
I directed her attention back to the crawfish in their dissection tray. It took a bit of effort, but they managed to complete the assignment. I got up and checked to make sure nobody else needed any help, then went back to my seat in the front of the room.
When the bell rang, I was surprised that Tracey came up to me, her face scrunched up, biting her lips.
“Steve, do you have a date for the Sadie Hawkins Day dance?”
“Nobody has asked me so far,” I replied.
“Do you think you could go with me?” she said, her lips quivering nervously.
“Can I think about it and tell you Monday?” I asked.
“I guess that’s fine,” she sighed, deflated, “but if you aren’t answering me now, I’m sure you’ll turn me down.”
“Why do you think that?” I asked.
“Because I’m not good looking and nobody wants to ask me out. I heard you tell Michelle you would go out with her for a good time. Nobody wants to do that with me.”
This was a girl who was seriously lacking in self-esteem. She was right that she was not pretty like Michelle, and she was a little on the chunky side, but I wouldn’t describe her as fat. If she asked, I could certainly show her a good time, so long as that’s ALL she wanted. And I’d have to be very clear about it.
“Tracey, I’m sorry. Yes, I’ll go to the Sadie Hawkins Day dance with you. I would have most likely said ‘yes’ on Monday, it’s just that I’m careful about making snap decisions. They tend to get me into trouble.”
“Really?! You’ll go with me?! You aren’t kidding?”
“Yes, Tracey, I’ll go with you.”
She lowered her voice, “And you’ll make out with me like we’re supposed to after the dance?”
“If that’s what you want, I absolutely will.”
“Thank you! Thank you!” she gushed, then kissed me on the cheek as she left the room.
“Wow Steve, I’ve never seen Tracey that happy,” Miss Barkhurst said. “She’s always kind of mopey. What did you say to her?”
“She asked me to go to the Sadie Hawkins Day dance with her, and I said yes.”
Miss Barkhurst laughed softly, “I’m surprised you don’t have a girlfriend, Steve. You seem pretty popular.”
If she only knew!
“I’m dating Bethany Krajick, though we’re not a couple. She’s my best friend and when my former girlfriend moved to Seattle, Bethany and I started going out. And yes, before you ask, she’ll be fine with me going to the dance with Tracey.”
“Bethany’s a good student and really cute, Steve. Don’t let her get away!”
“Thanks for the advice, Miss Barkhurst! I don’t plan on letting her get away.”
I went to lunch and found Bethany and told her about Tracey.
“That’s a surprise, actually. I would have expected Michelle to ask you, or maybe Erin, or even Kathy.”
“Kathy wouldn’t ask without talking to you first, I’m sure. Erin and I are just friends at the moment and as much as she would like to be with me, she wants a boyfriend.”
“What about Debbie V?”
“Shh! That relationship is mostly secret. Only a few people know about it. Remember, we saw her at Homecoming and she didn’t even ask to dance with me. We have great sex together, but we don’t want anyone else to know about it, well, besides you.”
“Great sex, huh?” Bethany giggled.
“Yes! You know me.”
“I do. Are you going to rock Tracey’s world for her?”
“That’s up to her, but you know I’ll discuss things with her first!”
“And what about Michelle?”
“I told her that I would go out with her if it was just for a good time. We’ll see. But I have a bigger shock for you.”
“Now what?” Bethany asked with an arched eyebrow.
“Kara Blanchard.”
“No fucking way, Steve! There is just no fucking way! You didn’t accidentally hang out with the stoners this morning and get a contact high, did you?”
“I’m not saying I’m going to screw her. I made a bet with her that I’m going to win. She has to go out for ice cream with me.”
“She’ll die if she has to be seen in public with you!”
“I know that!” I laughed.
“What was the bet?”
“That we’d match more than half the questions on the dating form. It’s a total lock. I’ll win easily.”
“You cheated!”
“Me? Cheat? Why would you say that?” I chuckled.
“Because you know that almost everyone matches about half!”
“I also know enough about Kara to be sure of it as well.”
“This is just too funny!” Bethany laughed. “I can’t wait to see what happens when she has to pay up.”
“Too bad it’s not a bet like when I used to play strip chess!”
Or like the Olympic bet Suzana had made with me! I smiled at that fond memory.
Bethany laughed hard, “As uptight as she is, I don’t think that girl gets naked in the shower!”
“Well, she’s got a body I’d like to see naked in the shower,” I declared.
“That will happen about the same time you can buy a real light saber!” Bethany giggled.
“Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, Bethany!” I said piously.
“Hmm. Blaster or light saber? I supposed you could call it either, depending!” she giggled.
“Cute! Anyway, just keep in mind that I’ll see you after school.”
“I can’t wait! I’m already wet just thinking about your light saber, Steve.”
I laughed, hard.
“Remember, I’m taking the SAT on Saturday so I’m going to want to be home by 11:00pm. I think five hours should be enough for the likes of you!”
“It’ll never be enough, Steve Adams. Never!”
I just shook my head. The rest of the school day was uneventful. We detoured by way of Klondyke and Overlook to drop Mary and Debbie V at home, then headed to the apartment where we made passionate love after I took off her purple bra and panties. It was simple and sweet and emotionally satisfying. And it was a hell of a lot of fun. I had Bethany home, fully satisfied, by 10:30pm. I grabbed a snack from the fridge before I went to bed.
On Saturday, I took the SAT test and, as I had with the ACT, felt that I had done really well. I’d have the results of both tests by the end of October at the latest and all my applications were in. I spent the rest of the day relaxing and writing letters.
On Sunday, I made my call to Karin. She had received the ‘S’ charm for her necklace and the sweater that Debbie had helped me pick out for her birthday. Later, I had my play date with Debbie. After lunch, I drove myself to Don Joseph’s house for the first time. I arrived before the Abbadellis, but after Larry and his family. I found Don Joseph and his friends on the bocce court as usual, though we all had on sweaters because it was only in the upper 50s. As usual, whoever I was paired with was winning, which continued to amuse Don Joseph.
When Joyce arrived, she did the same thing that she always did — cheered for me. Don Joseph simply shook his head and smiled at me.
“Go greet my granddaughter Steve, she still has no manners!”
I figured a hug would be the best approach, but Joyce had other ideas. She hugged me, of course, but then gave me a soul-searing French kiss and hugged me as tightly as she could.
“Well, hello to you, too,” I chuckled when she released me.
She gave me a huge smile and said, with a twinkle in her eye, “Go finish playing with grandfather, we can play later!”
I went back to the game.
“I see she is still madly in love with you, Steve,” Don Antonio said.
“It appears so, Don Antonio,” I said with a smile.
“You are still treating her well, if she greets you like that, Steve,” Don Joseph added.
“Yes, Don Joseph, it would appear so!” I said with a big smile. I had no clue what was going on with Joyce, but a kiss from her always put a smile on my face!
We finished the game, and I went to find Joyce. She was inside, talking with Larry and Sarah. I saw Connie but purposefully didn’t make eye contact with her. Joyce waved me over to sit next to her on the couch. When I sat down, she took my hand and held it while we talked. I was a bit surprised at the way she was treating me, and at one point Larry looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I just shrugged slightly because I had no more information than he did.
When it was time for dinner, Joyce and I were seated next to each other as we usually were, but Connie had a new spot on Joyce’s left, where she couldn’t even make eye contact with me. I assumed that was her mother’s doing because Connie still had a thing for me despite everything that had happened. And as always happened at the Grossi’s, I was ganged-up on by women insisting I eat more food than any human should ever eat in one sitting.
After dinner, Don Joseph invited me to join him and his friends for Sambuca. He poured me a full glass, I noticed, rather than just a splash as he had before.
“So, Steve, you and Joyce seem to be getting along quite well.”
This was dangerous ground, but I wasn’t going to say anything to make Don Joseph think there was a problem. There really wasn’t, and Joyce and I were getting along, we just weren’t even close to being a couple in the way Don Joseph assumed.
“Yes, Don Joseph. But we know that things will change when I go to college, most likely in Chicago. She’ll still be here at the University of Cincinnati.”
“This is true, though it is not too far away. You would come home on your breaks, or even for a weekend occasionally.”
“Of course.”
“How will you pay for college?” he asked.
“I have some money saved, and Beth and I will keep running our business, so I think I should be OK.”
“Steve, «figlio mio», if you need help, you must ask me. I will help you, of course.”
“Thank you, Don Joseph.”
“Now, go spend time with my granddaughter! If you wish to take her on a date, I will not be upset!”
“Yes, Don Joseph,” I said.
I went to find Joyce. She grabbed my hand and asked me to take a walk with her.
“I see you’re confused, Steve!” she giggled.
“Just a bit. Was all of that just a show for your grandfather?”
“No, of course not. You know how I feel about you. Granted, we aren’t dating, but he doesn’t need to know that. Things haven’t really changed that much, other than we aren’t sleeping together, and he doesn’t need to know THAT!”
“And your comment about playing?” I smirked.
“I was teasing. Well, mostly teasing. You remember our conversation?”
“I do. You know I’d love to play with you, Joyce!”
“Steve Adams, are you asking me to bed?” she said softly.
“This game again?” I chuckled.
It dawned on me finally, exactly what she wanted. She wanted to make love, but I had to ask her. If I did, she’d say yes and willingly make love with me. It was a tough decision, but I thought at the moment it was a bad idea.
“Joyce, if I ask you, I know you’ll say ‘yes’. And it would be glorious. We haven’t made love for almost a year and a half and I want you so badly. I can’t ask you right now, though. It’s not good for us.”
She sighed deeply, “Damn.”
I was right. That was what she wanted, but it would make a mess of things and put us right back into the cycle we had been in before.
“I want it, too,” I said. “I really do. But let’s wait. It’s not time yet. You said our time will come and I think you’re right.”
“Will you kiss me?” she asked quietly.
I pulled her to me and we hugged tight, kissing deeply, our tongues tangling around each other. Our kiss expressed our deep desire to make love, a desire that could not be fulfilled, at least not at this point. We broke the kiss and finished our walk, hand-in-hand. When we got back to the house, Joyce stopped me before we went inside.
“I want you to ask me when you think it’s the right time. I trust you to make the right decision,” Joyce said softly.
That was an amazing change for Joyce. She was beginning to trust my judgment about our relationship. Well, either that, or she was so horny she didn’t care.
“Can I say something without you getting upset?” I asked.
“Yes.”
“If you’re just that horny and you want to screw, we can do that. No strings, no promises, no commitments.”
She sighed deeply, “I want you in me right now. Every way. But no, I don’t want to just screw. When you’re ready to make love, you’ll tell me.”
“I will,” I said. “Count on it.”
We walked inside and had coffee with Joyce’s parents and Larry, and then I headed home. At home, I made my weekly call to Jennifer. I also called Katt to catch up. She missed me and was looking forward to Thanksgiving. She said her friends were helping, but she really wanted me with her. Of course, there wasn’t much I could do about that in the short term.
September 1982, Chicago, Illinois The weekend was quiet and besides homework, I worked on the program changes for Frank, called Karin, Tatyana, and Kara, and hung out with my usual study group. Monday was refreshingly normal. On Tuesday morning, I handed Katy my completed intake form. She put it in an envelope and stuck it in her bag. She said she’d let me know soon about the interview. On Tuesday afternoon, after having lunch with Stephie, I made my rounds and then I headed over to Sigma...
March/April, 1982, Chicago, Illinois When I arrived home on Sunday night, Elyse was sitting on the couch reading a book and listening to music. I dropped my bag just inside the door and took off my shoes. “Hi, Honey!” she exclaimed. “There’s tea if you want it. No Georgia Peach?” I poured myself a mug of tea and then went to sit on the couch. “I wasn’t sure what time I’d get in tonight, so I just let her know I’d see her in the morning. She won’t stay the night until Tuesday.” “Would it...
September 1981, Milford, Ohio Kara came into the living room when the dishes were done and took my hand and led me to the den. We sat in our chairs, as her father insisted. “Did you put your mom up to that ice cream date?” I asked. “No! I was just as surprised as you were. I could tell that dad was really upset at her. And when you stepped in, I thought he was going to blow a gasket. You agreed with him and made him look bad at the same time. And then, when mom did that thing with the...
May 1982, Milford, Ohio The drive back to Ohio had gone smoothly, and we had made good time. I had dropped Elyse at her house in Glen Este just before 6:00pm and then headed to Milford. I was very tired due to the mental exhaustion of exams, the wine, and then fooling around with Stephie and Elyse, but I wanted to see Kara. After I dropped my things at the Spencers’ house, I headed to Kara’s. She bounced out of the house as I pulled into the driveway and hopped into the car as soon as I...
March 28, 1997, Chicago, Illinois “You must be beat!” Sam declared when Kara, Jessica, Maria Cristina, and I walked into Bucktown Bistro just after 7:00pm on Friday evening. “I slept in this morning,” I replied. Which was true. After Karla and I had made love until the wee hours of the morning, we’d slept spooned together until just before I had to leave for the airport. We’d showered, skipped breakfast, and headed for Schiphol, arriving just in time for me to clear security and board the...
May 1982, Milford, Ohio On Saturday morning after Stephanie and I swam and ate breakfast, we picked up Bethany and Ed and did our shopping for the party. We went to K-Mart on Route 28 to get some decorations, as well as paper cups and plates and plastic silverware. Next we went to Fazio’s and bought all the groceries that we’d need. Finally, we stopped at UDF and picked up two gallons of ice cream. We headed back to my parents’ house and after we unloaded the car; I went to get Kara while...
August 1981, Chicago, Illinois On Sunday morning, I made my usual call to Karin. I described everything in the apartment and all the things I’d done during the week, including the reception. Both of us would start school in a week and we were both looking forward to it. When we finished talking, I went out for my run, showered, and ate breakfast. I made some tea, started a load of laundry, and then turned on the stereo. I put on an REO Speedwagon album and then relaxed on the couch with the...
October 1982, Chicago, Illinois The drive back to Chicago was as uneventful as usual, and I arrived at the apartment just before 6:00pm. When I arrived, Elyse and Stephie were sitting on the couch and Jackie was sitting on the loveseat. Stephie hopped up as I opened the door and greeted me with a hug and a kiss. “Hi, Peaches!” I said. “Glad you’re home, Yankee!” “Hi, Steve,” Elyse and Jackie both said. “Hey,” I replied. “How was the weekend?” “Well, it was just Kurt with me, Stephie,...
July 1982, Milford, Ohio On Tuesday morning, I kissed Kara goodbye and headed to my parents’ house for my usual morning routine with my little sister. She was happy that I could spend the morning with her and asked to take a walk, so we weren’t in the house with my mom. “Let me guess — this walk will end in the clearing,” I said with a smile. “Yes,” she said, taking my hand as we walked down Overlook towards Klondyke. As usual, we turned around and walked back, taking the path to the...
November, 1982, Chicago, Illinois On the Tuesday following Halloween, when I got to the Sig Ep house, I invited Dave and Cindi to join Stephie, Elyse, Eduardo, and me for a dinner party on Friday. They agreed and when Julia arrived, the three of us went upstairs to work on our next project. So far, we had solid A’s on all of our projects. For the next two weeks, we’d be building a 4-bit adder circuit, which was the most complex thing we’d done so far. When we finished, Julia asked me to...
April 1982, Chicago, Illinois On Wednesday, Stephie and I came straight home from class so she could help Elyse prepare dinner. They had baked a cake on Tuesday night, and I saw a couple of wrapped presents on the counter. The night before, Elyse had told me that she’d made the purchases I’d asked her to make and that she’d put the bag on the shelf in my closet. I hadn’t looked because Stephie had been there the entire time, but given the girls were busy, I went to my room and shut the...
November 1982, Milford, Ohio On Wednesday morning, after taking Kara to work, I headed back to my parents’ house to spend the day with Stephanie. After lunch, we went for a walk and I asked her advice in dealing with Kara and Joyce, after we agreed to set aside our rule about talking about sex between me and any other girls for the afternoon. Stephanie wasn’t sure what the best approach was, but she did say she understood what Kara might be going through. “You know how much I wanted to be...
June 1982, Milford, Ohio On Wednesday morning, I once again made breakfast for everyone. Joyce did the dishes after breakfast, and then we all sat in the living room with cups of coffee. The ladies from the church would bring lunch, and around 3:30pm we’d head to the Noakes Funeral Home for the visitation. I dreaded that, because I wasn’t a big fan of being in the same room as a dead body on display. There was just something that creeped me out about the whole idea. But I would be there to...
December 1982, Milford, Ohio When I arrived at the Blanchards’ at about 10:20pm, Kara was waiting for me. She quickly came out to the car, and we headed to the Spencers’. I opened the front door of the house with my key and we entered the mostly darkened house and went up to my room. I brought in only the things I would need for the night, deciding that I could bring the rest of my things into the house in the morning. Kara and I made love, then cuddled afterwards. “I never asked you what...
March, 1982, Milford, Ohio On Saturday morning, I was up early as usual. As I was leaving the house, Trudy let me know that Melanie and Pete would be home later in the day and hoped to see Kara and me. I asked her to let them know we could have dinner if they wanted. I was sure Kara wouldn’t mind that. I’d call her later to let her know, so she wasn’t surprised. It wouldn’t interfere with Kara’s and my playtime because Melanie and Pete would understand. I got in the car and headed to my...
May 1982, Milford, Ohio Thursday was very much like Monday, with swimming and breakfast with Stephanie, a lunchtime tryst with Dona, and then a quick lovemaking session with Kara before we went to the Krajicks’ to pick up the apartment key from Ed. Our next stop was Fazio’s to get the groceries for the menu that Kara and Joyce had worked out. We also stopped at UDF for ice cream for dessert. We arrived at the apartment a few minutes before Joyce and Terry — just long enough to unpack the...
November, 1982, Chicago, Illinois I checked my watch and felt I had enough time. We pulled the bed out and this time we made love the conventional way. After she had three good orgasms, I filled the rubber with cum. We were on a co-ed floor, so Julia lent me a large towel and I went to the guys’ showers to wash up while she did the same in the girls’ showers. We met back in her room, dressed, hugged and kissed and I headed to The Bog for a quick bite before my afternoon class. After class, I...
June 1982, Milford, Ohio Melanie, Kara, and I headed over to the Kara’s house to talk to her mom. I explained what Don Joseph had said and gave her the piece of paper with the phone number. “How is this even possible, Steve?” Nancy Blanchard asked. “I’ve been working for him for about five years, and I dated Joyce, who’s his granddaughter, for several of those years before Kara and I got together. He likes me and wanted to help, just as he did with the suit and the dresses.” “And this is...
July 1981, Milford, Ohio Tuesday’s lunch at Kara’s was similar to Monday’s, though Kara’s mom spent a bit more time talking to us. It became totally clear to me that she was supportive of our relationship. I didn’t think she’d do anything to clearly violate her husband’s decisions, but knowing that she was there for Kara made me feel a lot better. Kara and I exchanged a nice kiss when I left around 2:30pm for my date with Joyce. I went home and showered and dressed. I left a bit earlier...
December, 1981, Milford, Ohio Kathy and I made good time driving back to Milford on Saturday afternoon. We grabbed a quick lunch in Lafayette, but otherwise we drove straight through to Milford, talking quite a bit along the way. We discussed her relationship with Kurt and mine with Kara. Both of us were happy with where things were and how they were going. I let her know that Elyse and Warren were getting serious, and I let her know about Stephie as well. “Hmm. That might make it crowded...
October, 1981, Milford, Ohio “What do you want me to do?” I asked. “Oh no, you don’t! It’s not about what I want, it’s about what you want. And you have to be sure that what you say and what you do line up with what you want. Telling Kara you’ll get engaged to her next Summer but starting a relationship with a new girl in Chicago is hardly consistent! I’d say that qualifies as ‘misbehaving’ by any reasonable standard, AND so was sleeping with Elyse.” “OK, let me rephrase that. What’s your...
June, 1982, Milford, Ohio “You know what? We need to eat something,” I said. “Let’s see your sister and your dad first, and then we can go out,” Kara replied, sounding very tired. We pulled into the driveway at my house and after I parked, we went inside. First, I went to find my dad and asked if he’d come talk to me and Kara privately. My mom glared at me but said nothing. It was cool and overcast, but not raining, so we went out on the deck. “Dad, I wanted to let you know that Kara and...
October 1981, Milford, Ohio Kara and I headed to Frisch’s for lunch. Our food arrived quickly, and we started eating. “A lot has happened in the last week,” I said. “Oh?” “Bethany has a steady boyfriend in Madison.” “Really? I had hoped something like that would happen, but I wasn’t counting on it. I always thought she was going to wait until you actually married before she did something like that. So she’s really moving on?” “That’s a good question. I would say that she’s recognized...
August 1982, Chicago, Illinois I woke early on Sunday morning after a good night’s sleep. I was pleasantly surprised to not find Elyse in my bed. I wasn’t sure what our relationship was going to be, and I wanted to talk to her before anything happened, rather than afterwards. I went out to run, though I really would have preferred a sauna to help clear my head and organize my thoughts. When I got back, Elyse had just started a pot of coffee and I went to the shower. When I finished and...
September 1981, Chicago, Illinois, and Milford, Ohio When Elyse arrived home she found me sitting in a beanbag chair drinking some of the bourbon that I’d had Joyce get for me. The wine was stashed in my room, though I left two bottles on the kitchen counter. “Uh oh! What’s wrong?” Elyse asked. “Just thinking,” I answered. “About Bethany?” “Yeah. It’s good, but it’s sad. She’s always depended a bit too much on me and now she’s moving on. We didn’t break up, per se, but she’s going to...
November, 1981, Milford, Ohio Kara came out quickly when she saw me pull into the driveway. I barely had time to stop and go around to open the door for her, for which I was rewarded with a quick peck and a sultry look of promise for later. We headed to Skyline, where Kathy wanted to meet. Kathy and Kurt were already there when Kara and I walked in. I introduced Kurt and Kara to each other, then all four of us ordered, with Kathy insisting that Kurt get 5-way. We had a nice lunch and a good...
July 1982, Dawsonville, Georgia My drive south took me into Kentucky and I stopped for lunch at Wendy’s just after I passed through Lexington. As the countryside rolled past my windows, I reflected on the things that had happened recently. I hadn’t been keeping my journal as closely as I should have and resolved to spend some time alone at Stephie’s to put my thoughts on paper so I could put them in the computer when I got back to Chicago. I was a bit concerned about the situation between...
January, 1982, Chicago, Illinois On Monday, I woke up early to do my exercises and karate kata, then showered and made breakfast. Elyse showered while I exercised, and Stephie showered while I made breakfast. “You two had a good time yesterday!” Elyse whispered as I put the food on the table. “Yep!” I smirked. Stephie came out of my room and sat down at the table. The three of us ate and then Stephie and I headed to IIT. We stopped at her dorm so she could drop her overnight bag, then...
November, 1981, Milford, Ohio Stephanie was waiting for me when I pulled into the driveway and came walking out to the car. “So?” she smirked. “A wildcat, just as you predicted. She’s going to be sore for a couple of days, I suspect.” “Tell me about it! I sure was!” “You both asked for it!” I grinned. “Oh, I’d do exactly the same if I had to do it all over again. Did you get her unconscious?” “No, I did not. And I thought we weren’t talking about stuff like this!” “Special...
August 1982, Chicago, Illinois I woke up to the alarm on Monday morning, kissed Stephie, and quickly slipped on my running clothes and headed out. I took a slow, easy pace and worked to clear my mind and prepare to shift my focus to my schoolwork. The Summer had been a combination of fun, emotional highs, emotional lows, and adapting to the reality that Kara wasn’t going to be with me this year. On the other hand, I had Stephie, Elyse, Kurt, and Kathy close, and Kara was less than six hours...
November, 1981, Milford, Ohio On Sunday, I spent the morning with Stephanie swimming and eating breakfast, as well as making my call to Karin. I had lunch with Larry before heading over to Don Joseph’s house. The weather wasn’t good enough for bocce, so I sat with Don Joseph and his friends and talked before dinner and with Larry and Joyce after dinner. When it was time to leave, Joyce followed me outside. “Can I come spend the night with you?” Joyce asked. “Sure. I’ll see you at the...
May 1982, Milford, Ohio On Monday morning, I followed my usual routine for being in Milford and had lunch with Trudy Spencer after our sauna. That afternoon, Krista and Beth were coming over to talk about business. Kara would join us as well. Beth arrived about 2:30pm and Krista and Kara walked over from the school campus and arrived about 2:45pm. The three of us were very happy with how things were going. We had a total of twenty-two veterinary clients paying a monthly support fee, about a...
October 1981, Chicago, Illinois I went to my room, closed the door and dialed my old number in Milford and Stephanie answered. “Hi, Stephanie!” “Hey, Big Bro! How’s Chicago?” “Pretty good. A lot of stuff is happening. But I have a favor to ask. Well, really, it’s a favor from Ed. I’m coming home this weekend and I was wondering if I could borrow the keys to the apartment.” “You and Kara? On Saturday? I’m sure the answer is yes. Where are you staying?” “I was going to call Mrs. Spencer...
July 1982, Chicago, Illinois On Sunday morning after breakfast, Kara packed her things, said goodbye to her mom, and followed me to my car. I drove to the Spencers’ to pick up my things, where I thanked Trudy and reminded her that I’d be back on Friday. Kara and I took my bags to the car, loaded them in the trunk, and set off for Chicago. As usual, the drive was uneventful. I had encountered neither traffic nor an accident, nor been pulled over a single time despite all the back-and-forth...
March, 1982, Milford, Ohio “What’s the craziest thing you’ve done, Tracey?” “That one’s easy! Asking Steve to the Sadie Hawkins Day dance!” “What?!” Kara said, looking askance. “Think about it. I was a frumpy, shy girl with no self-confidence. I asked the school sex god to take me to the dance, knowing full well I’d probably end up losing my virginity, though I was worried he wouldn’t do it with me. Boy, was I wrong! Not only did he do it, but he spent the entire next day with me doing...
July 1982, Milford, Ohio Kara and I awoke, and she took a quick shower before we drove to my parents’ house so I could swim and have breakfast with Stephanie. My dad joined us for breakfast before he had to leave for work. After cleaning up the kitchen, we went to my old room to hang out with Stephanie for about an hour before heading back to the Spencers’. Nobody was home and there was a note on the fridge that said that Frank, Trudy, Pete, and Melanie were out for the day because Frank had...
July 1982, Milford, Ohio Sandy came into my room and shut the door, shaking visibly. She leaned against the door and didn’t move further into the room. “Relax, Sandy,” I said gently, trying to ease her nerves as best I could. “Are we going to do it now?” she asked, her voice cracking with emotion. “No. We’re just going to talk,” I said. I could see visible relief. That confirmed to me that she was very nervous about doing this and I needed to be very cautious. “Talk about what?” “About...
March, 1982, Milford, Ohio On Wednesday morning, I swam with Stephanie and we ate breakfast together. I avoided talking about Saturday or what we might do. I still had no clue what I should do, and the implications of my decision were huge. I wondered if Stephanie could handle the conversation about the deep meaning behind what she was asking, and I wondered if she understood the implications. The fact that she and Jennifer were talking meant that she and Jennifer could have discussed this...
February, 1982, Chicago, Illinois On Monday morning, while Stephie and I were driving to school, she asked what I was doing for Valentine’s Day. I let her know I was going to Ohio, but that I’d be happy to celebrate with her either on the 11th or the 16th, because I was taking the three-day weekend in Milford. “I guess that will have to do,” she sighed, “because it does make sense that you would be with Kara on Valentine’s Day.” “Are you going to be OK, Peaches?” I asked. “Do I have a...
December, 1981, Milford, Ohio As I drove to Kara’s house, I thought more about my conversation with Bethany. And the more I thought about, the more I realized that I had totally missed the signs. I had fallen in love with Kara without feeling the connection — in a sense, our kisses, and even our first lovemaking, didn’t feel different from many other girls I’d been with. But it was different. It was different because I loved her. And, eventually, we HAD felt the spark of the connection. We...
July 1982, Milford, Ohio Joyce, Kara, and I sat quietly on the lower bench while the steam built in the sauna. I was really going to miss the easy access to a sauna when I went back to Chicago. IIT had a steam room that I could use, but they required towels and it wasn’t ever quiet. It also wasn’t co-ed. “Joyce, I didn’t see Terry at your grandfather’s house yesterday,” I said after about five minutes of silence, other than the steam hissing and our breathing. “He’s sort of upset with...
December, 1981, Milford, Ohio I pulled into the driveway at the Spencers’ and went inside. Melanie was halfway up the stairs and turned to say hello. “Want to spend some time in the sauna with me?” she asked. “Only if you promise to behave. I need to make a phone call first, and it may take a bit of time.” “I do. And I’ll wait. If you want privacy, use the extension in my room. I can read while you’re on the phone.” I nodded and walked up to her room and shut the door. It hadn’t changed...
November 1982, Milford, Ohio After dropping Elyse in Glen Este, I headed to the Spencers’ to drop off my stuff and then drove to Kara’s house. Kara hadn’t been clear about me staying every night at her house, so I didn’t want to assume. “Hi, Snuggle Bear!” she said when she opened the door. “Hi, Honey!” I said, pulling her into a hug and kissing her. “Do you need to get your stuff?” she asked. “I wasn’t sure from our last conversation which nights I could stay here, so I dropped my...
January 1982, Chicago, Illinois Bethany and Gene arrived just before 10:00am on Sunday morning. The apartment was full as both Warren and Stephie had spent the night, and Kurt and Kathy were staying the weekend. The plan was to have a big meal together around 3:00pm so that Gene and Bethany could get back to Madison before 10:00pm. Bethany was in great spirits and seemed very happy. I hadn’t had much chance to talk to her in the past few weeks because both of us were busy with school, and I...
February/March, 1982, Chicago, Illinois I made good time on the drive back to Chicago despite the light drizzle that I ran into just south of Gary. I walked into the apartment to find Stephie and Elyse stretched out on the couch, each one leaning on an arm and their legs alternating so they could put them out straight. “You two look comfortable,” I said, taking off my shoes and coat and dropping my bag. “Hi, Steve,” Elyse said. “Hi, Steve,” Stephie echoed. Neither of them moved to get...
July 1982, Milford, Ohio Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were nearly identical — swimming and breakfast with Stephanie, spending the day with Kara, finding time for a sauna, and making love in the evening. I did end up sleeping alone on Saturday night because I took Kara home so she could go to church in the morning with her mom. She would drive to my house after church to help set up for the party, which was starting at 2:00pm and might even continue after fireworks, depending on how...
November, 1981, Chicago, Illinois “How are things going?” I asked. “Amazing!” Kathy said with a huge smile. “He’s just what I needed. Last night was the first time we could sleep in the same bed. Doing that with you was always my favorite thing!” “Oh, really?” I chuckled. “Actually, yes. You holding me in your arms while we slept was the most amazing feeling. Don’t get me wrong, the orgasms were out of this world, but feeling safe, secure, and loved; it’s the best thing there is. And I...
November, 1981, Milford, Ohio We made good time, arriving at Kathy’s house about 2:00pm. She and Kurt thanked me for the ride and we agreed that I’d pick them up at noon on Sunday so we could be back in Hyde Park by 5:00pm Chicago time and they could be back at Northwestern by 6:00pm. We agreed to have lunch on Wednesday, then I said goodbye, got back in the car, and pulled out of Kathy’s driveway to head to the Spencers’ house. Melanie and Pete were there waiting for me, and I got one of...
December 1981, Chicago, Illinois I really should have guessed that what Jennifer was saying was prompted by a girlfriend who saw me as a competitor, but I had to know if it was just Jocelyn, or if it was from Jennifer’s therapist as well. “And not your therapist?” I asked. “No. The reason Doctor Clauson didn’t want me to come is because she knows how I feel about you and that you’re in a serious relationship with Kara. She’s afraid that I’ll have a serious setback, or do something stupid...
April/May 1982, Chicago, Illinois I made very good time driving back to Chicago, assisted by the radar detector, and arrived at my apartment before 6:00pm Chicago time. As usual, Stephie and Elyse were sitting on the couch when I walked in. “Well, another fantasy up in smoke!” I teased. “Get your mind out of the gutter, Yankee!” Stephie exclaimed, getting up to hug me. “Did you have a good weekend?” “I did. How about the two of you?” “Same as always, though I didn’t have a date on...
August 1981, Chicago, Illinois We ended up not getting crazy that night. We made love and fell asleep in each other’s arms. We woke up the next morning and repeated what looked like was going to be the pattern for the school year — I jogged and Elyse showered, I showered, and then we ate breakfast. “Bye, Honey! Have a good day,” she said again. I headed to IIT and after parking I walked into the Stuart Building for Computer Science 200. I’d been permitted to skip CS100 because I already...
March, 1982, Milford, Ohio Tuesday started off like usual days had when I visited Milford and after Stephanie went off to school, I played some video games and practiced pool until it was time to go and meet Susan Pollard for lunch. We met at Skyline just before 1:00pm and both of us ordered Five-Way chili. We started out by catching up on our lives. It had been a really long time since we’d talked and said more than just a brief greeting. Susan was attending Clermont Community College and...
September 1981, Milford, Ohio Friday was routine until lunchtime. Afternoon classes had been canceled for both Elyse and me because of the Labor Day weekend, so I drove back to the apartment instead of having lunch on campus. Elyse and I packed our overnight bags and waited for Kathy and Bethany, who arrived as planned, and we left Chicago just before 4:00pm. It was my goal to make the trip to Milford in just under five and a half hours, which I could do if we grabbed fast food on the way...
December, 1981, Milford, Ohio On Tuesday morning, I swam and ate breakfast with my little sister and hung out with her until it was time to head out to see Anna. I was still surprised that she’d called out of the blue, and was really curious as to what it was that she wanted. Even though I hadn’t driven to her house before, I’d been there enough times to remember how to get there. I parked in the driveway, then walked up to the front door and rang the bell. Anna opened the door almost...
December, 1981, Chicago, Illinois I made good time on my drive back to Chicago, arriving just before dinner. Other than one stop for gasoline and the restroom, I had driven straight through. When I pulled up in front of the apartment, I didn’t feel like cooking, so I parked, dropped my things inside, and then walked to the Chinese restaurant and got takeout. I took it back to my apartment, retrieved two weeks’ of mail from the mailbox, then went inside. I set the food on the table and sorted...
July 1982, Milford, Ohio It was getting close to the time that both Kara and I had to leave, and Kara was still crying softly as I held her in my arms. I simply held her tight and occasionally kissed her hair and whispered that I loved her in her ear. “Kara honey, are you going to be OK to have lunch with your mom? Do you need me to call off my lunch with Anna and stay with you?” She sniffed, “No. I need to pull myself together. Mom’s expecting me and I don’t want her to worry or be...
March, 1982, Milford, Ohio At the Spencers, I quickly changed clothes, then headed to pick up Kara. Our evening followed the usual pattern for this week — dinner, lovemaking, a sauna, and then cuddling on the couch in the basement until I had to take her home. On Thursday, I swam and had breakfast with Stephanie, and after she left for school, I headed back to the Spencers’. I went to my room and wrote in my journal. I sat down in the beanbag chair to read my history text from school. I was...
April 1982, Chicago, Illinois and Washington, DC Sunday evening, after dinner, I excused myself and called Joyce. I knew she’d have good advice for me, knowing the full situation. “Shit,” Joyce said, “That is really bad. Some of those guys don’t care about age. In fact, they want the teenagers because they attract clients and they can actually charge more. Grandfather absolutely forbids his guys from using girls who are under eighteen. One time he found out about a girl who was only...
