Chapter 11

~Tuesday, October 14th~

Eleven days until my twenty-fifth birthday. My parents had started asking what I wanted for a gift, and if I wanted to do anything special. For a gift, I asked my parents if they’d get me a new computer monitor. The one I had been using was old, and I’d love a new curved one.

As for how we’d celebrate, I requested a family dinner. Then I asked if they’d mind if I went out with Alyssa. They were fine with it, and Mom was even happy at how close Alyssa and I were obviously becoming. We had always been sisters, but we had never spent so much time together.

My morning routine was the same as always, with one change; I skipped breakfast. Just the thought of food was making me feel nauseated, I was so anxious. The reason was quite simple, I had agreed to a date with Dave tonight.

It would be another first for me, meeting someone in person who I met off the internet. Dave asked me out Sunday evening, and I caved. I did want to meet him. He offered to pick me up, but I insisted on taking my own car. I had never met him, after all. A girl had to play it safe.

We had talked for awhile about what we wanted to do, and eventually agreed on the classic; dinner and a movie. I was definitely hoping it went better than my last dinner and movie date! Dave didn’t seem like an asshole, but neither did Ron at first.

Anxiety hit me immediately after agreeing to the date on Sunday night. I did not sleep well. Then I lost myself in work on Monday. I told Alyssa about the date, and she said she was happy I was trying new things, taking chances. Living.

I spent Monday evening reading and playing on my phone. I flirted with Ken and Dave, as well as a couple of guys from my dating apps. Chris reached out as well, and I chose to reply. Before bed, I practiced my blowjob skills on my dildo. I couldn’t take it very far in without gagging, but I think the practice helped. It was fun, at least.

Dave had wanted to call me before he went to sleep, and I agreed. The call led to phone sex, and I came really hard. Then I took a quick shower, and even sent Dave some sexy shower pics. Dave came for me twice Monday night.

A small smirk crossed my face as I reminisced about last night while working on Tuesday morning. Then I watched television during my break, skipping lunch as anxiety threatened to overwhelm me. Alyssa texted me about an hour after my break, while I was transcribing a doctor’s session.

Alyssa: You. Me. The club. Dancing. Friday. Deal?

Suzie: The club? Again? Didn’t we talk about trying new places?

Alyssa: We did, and we will ... probably. Maybe. Anyway, the girls and I go all the time.

Suzie: Speaking of your friends, they must miss you? You spend all your free time with me! :P

Alyssa: They do! Hence why we are all going to the club together!

Suzie: Oh. I thought it would just be the two of us.

Alyssa: Don’t be nervous! This is your chance to go out and be one of the girls. :)

Suzie: Last time was kinda overwhelming...

Alyssa: That’s why you need this. You fell. You need to get up and try again.

Suzie: Maybe.

Alyssa: Definitely. You’re a cocksucker now, you can do anything!

Suzie: Thanks?

Alyssa: You’re welcome! You have eleven acts left. Don’t lose your momentum now!

Suzie: Calling them acts? You’re starting to sound like me. :P

Alyssa: Just trying to help! ;) Tell you what, we’ll do one together!

Suzie: What do you mean?

Alyssa: Well, I saved your little list. Look at 7 and 8.

Setting down my phone, I checked my list, immediately focusing on the two uncompleted acts. Seven: give a stranger my panties. Eight: flash someone. Finishing those two would mean having acts one through twelve done. A huge accomplishment!

Both acts were early on my list because they didn’t involve touching, and I figured that would be my biggest obstacle. I hadn’t really considered just how outgoing a person I would have to be to just walk up to a stranger and pull my boobs out. Or hand over my underwear. After my last experience at the club, I wasn’t sure I could do it. Alyssa’s help might be the only way to find the courage.

Suzie: What do you suggest?

Alyssa: We both wear sexy dresses. You pick a number, and a couple of guys, and we do it!

Suzie: I don’t know...

Alyssa: Trust me, Zee. Come to the club with us. You’ll be safe. I promise.

Suzie: I’ll go to the club. I’m scared, but I’ll go.

Alyssa: You’re in good hands!

Suzie: What about the other stuff?

Alyssa: I know you’re anxious about your date tonight, don’t let it cloud your thinking.

Suzie: What do you mean?

Alyssa: You’re making huge progress, you’ve gone out a lot! And broadened your horizons.

Suzie: That’s true...

Alyssa: So, you and me, tits out or panties off. Or Both! You choose! Friday.

Suzie: Okay. I’ll do it.

Alyssa: That’s my girl!

Suzie: Yeah, yeah. I need to get back to work.

Alyssa: Me, too. Have fun tonight! Blow his mind. ;)

With that, I went back to focusing on what I was actually being paid for. Work. My head wasn’t in it, though. I kept ruminating, going over all my fears in my head about tonight. At the same time, I felt twinges of jealousy; Alyssa wouldn’t be nervous, she wouldn’t even think about it, she’d just dive in head first.

Could I ever be that confident? I didn’t think so, but even I had to acknowledge that I had made a lot of progress. I just had to keep managing my anxiety and going outside my comfort zone. Tonight was just dinner and a movie. Nothing I couldn’t handle. I hoped.

Work was finally over, so I logged out and started getting ready for my date. It was casual, so I just wore leggings and a light blue t-shirt. My butt looked great in the leggings as I admired myself in the mirror. I also put on a cute pair of dangling earrings and pulled my hair back into a ponytail so the earrings could easily be seen.

Once I was ready, I hugged Mom goodbye as Daniel made a wise ass remark about my date taking one look at me and leaving. I flipped off my brother as I opened the front door and left the house. Then I was in my car, my heart racing as I drove to the restaurant.

Standing next to my car, I leaned back against the driver’s side door as I looked straight up and let out a breath. I had arrived first, so I was waiting nervously. My mind was racing and my stomach was churning. I hoped I’d be able to stomach dinner.

“Suzie? Suzie Graves?” a male voice asked softly, making me jump in surprise.

“Ah!” I gasped, my head whipping around to see a guy I only recognized from pictures. “Dave? Hi!”

“Nice to finally meet in person.” he smiled, approaching me and spreading his arms for a hug.

“Yeah, it is!” I agreed as I hugged him back, my large breasts squishing against his chest.

Fuck. I was way under dressed. Dave was wearing tan slacks, a deep blue button down, and nice black shoes. Sure, he wasn’t incredibly dressed up, but he definitely put in more effort than I did. I could even smell his cologne as he held me close.

The guy really did look good. He had a cute face, only partially hidden by his close cropped beard. Average height meant he still towered over me. Dave had light brown hair and brown eyes. He wasn’t very muscular, but his stomach was flat and he appeared to be in good shape.

“You look amazing.” he commented when the hug ended and we stood a couple feet apart, giving each other appraising glances.

“Me? Look at you!” I giggled. “Way to make a girl feel like a slob!”

“What are you talking about? You’re breathtaking!” Dave insisted.

“Nah!” I replied, blushing slightly as I looked away coyly.

“You really do.” he said. “You hungry?”

“Yes!” I nodded, even though my anxiety was still bubbling away inside me.

“Shall we?” Dave asked, offering me his hand.

“We shall!” I stated, accepting his hand and letting him lead me inside.

Dave and I ordered drinks and an appetizer to share. Nibbling on the potato skins actually helped settle my stomach. Go figure! He could tell I was nervous, and did his best to put me at ease. Over time, his slightly awkward charm worked on me, and I forgot about being anxious. We settled in for a nice meal together, where I learned more about Dave.

I already knew about some of the things we talked about. Dave was twenty-seven years old and currently working on his PhD in physics. Yup, I was on a date with a genius! He and his roommate shared a two bedroom apartment near campus. It also came up how much he loved role playing games, video games, board games; all games, basically!

My anxiety was already known to him, but I explained more about how it came about. I was surprised that I was telling him so much about my medical history, but he was turning out to be very easy to talk to. He was a good listener, and I could tell he wasn’t judging me.

He insisted on paying for our meal, despite my numerous offers to split the bill. Then we left the restaurant, holding hands. When we got outside, we turned to face each other, and I immediately stood on my toes so we could have our first kiss.

The kiss was very tender, very sweet. We didn’t use tongue, but we stood there for several moments, lightly tasting each others lips as a few people walked around us, avoiding the public display. Yeah, shy Suzie was kissing in public. Crazy!

“That was nice.” Dave whispered when the kiss broke.

“It was.” I agreed with a cute smile.

“Ready to head to the theater?” he asked.

“I am.” I nodded.

We drove our cars to the theater down the street, choosing to park next to each other. Holding hands, fingers laced, Dave and I walked inside. Before I could even offer to pay, Dave revealed that he had already bought the tickets online. Way to be prepared!

Since we were a little early, we decided to hit the little arcade the theater had. Dave tried valiantly, but he failed to win me a stuffed animal. I still gave him a kiss on the cheek, it was the thought that counted!

Ron had taken me to a different theater, but the one we were in was structured the same. No large, reclining seats that were spaced out and assigned. Just old fashioned cheap seats that were all crammed in there. I had a naughty smile on my face as I led Dave to the very back row.

“You don’t wanna sit in the middle somewhere?” Dave wondered with a frown.

“No.” I shook my head. “I don’t want anyone behind us, and we’ll have the best chance of being alone.”

“Why?” he followed up with, trailing behind me.

“So we can make out, duh!” I giggled as we made our way down the back aisle.

“I didn’t think of that.” Dave admitted quietly.

“Someone more innocent than me? No way!” I teased as I plopped down in a seat near the middle of the row.

“I am not innocent!” he exclaimed in mock offense, sitting down beside me and placing his soda in the cup holder.

“Oh yeah?” I challenged, drink in hand. “Got some dirty stories to share?”

“Maybe.” Dave shrugged while taking a handful of popcorn.

“Mm, if you tell me,” I began in a smoky voice as I leaned over until our shoulders were touching and I was looking up at him with lust, “I might be willing to reenact them.”

Anxiety off, lust on! I was in full-on horny Suzie mode as I blinked up at Dave while my tongue snaked out and licked my lips. He was such a nice guy, a little awkward, just like me. I could tell he really liked me, and I felt comfortable with him.

The movie we had picked out had been out for awhile. As a result, the theater was almost empty. That pesky pandemic really did destroy the movie theater industry. Oh well, at least Dave and I had some privacy. The few other people in the theater were seated far away from us.

“Really?” Dave grinned, his eyes sparkling with lust as his little head took over the thinking and calmed his nerves. “I did have sex with my ex-girlfriend in the changing station at the beach. She used her arms to brace herself against the wall. Her bikini top was the only thing she had on, but it it wasn’t covering anything anymore.”

Of course. He wasn’t a virgin. We had never explicitly addressed that issue, though he did mention having an ex-girlfriend before. Dave knew about my anxiety, but not that I was virgin. I’m sure he suspected that I was inexperienced, but he probably figured I had given it up years ago.

“Would you like to see me in a bikini?” I asked, trying to both flirt and avoid talking about intercourse.

“Is that a serious question?” he retorted with a raised eyebrow.

I made a cute face and shrugged in response. Suddenly, the lights dimmed and the previews began. Dave and I shared the popcorn while sipping our drinks as we learned about all the upcoming movies. A couple actually looked good, and one was a sequel I had been waiting on for ages.
