Chapter 26

I raced into the house like a chicken without its head. I put the glasses in the dishwasher and ran into the living room to see if there was any evidence of fornication. I turned the stained side of the ottoman toward the wall and flipped the cushion on the couch. I could take care of that tomorrow. I sat on the couch going over what it was like making love to Susan, while Jasmine watched. This was far better than thinking about something else.

A few days had passed since Susan dropped her bombshell of information into my life. A couple of restless nights and worried days, but this day I was feeling fine. I had gone over it a million times in my head. I had finally convinced myself that with all of Mr. and Mrs. Davis’ trying, the chance that I dropped the magic seed was almost impossible. I also convinced myself that it didn’t matter anyway. Nobody, including me would ever know even if it was mine.

It had been hard work, but I had brainwashed myself into pretending it never happened. Mr. Davis leaving had nothing to do with me. Susan was my true love and I was going to focus all my emotional energy on her.

Jasmine’s foot interrupted my conversation with my friend Bobby when it connected with my ass. “Hey stud. Susan wants to talk to you after school, so make sure you stay home and wait for her to call you.”

Bobby’s mouth hung open as Jasmine’s lips touched my ear. “Here comes Stacy. Just play along.”

Jasmine wrapped her arms around my waist and her tongue around mine. She kissed my neck and took my ear in her teeth. I’m not sure if her passion was an act, but my lust wasn’t as my hands found her round ass cheeks, and I pulled her into my body.

“I said, play along, not do me in the hallway.” Jasmine’s voice in my ear registered a wave of pleasure all the way to my toes and my cock filled.

I could feel my dick pressing into her warm body as we held each other tightly. Then, Jasmine kissed my cheek and stepped back. “I got to go, lover. Don’t forget Susan’s call later.” She spun and headed toward her class as if she had never seen Stacy.

Bobby watched her round butt dance its seductive waltz down the hallway. I glanced in the direction of Stacy. She was leaning against the lockers staring in the same direction as Bobby. I would hate to see her hurt, but I sure hoped that worked. As much as Stacy was hot and a threesome with her would be a freshman’s dream come true, I didn’t want to do it.

As the bell rang for class, Bobby looked at me with a dazed look. “Did that just happen? You have some explaining to do!” I smiled and we headed in opposite directions for our next class. I tried to pretend I didn’t have a hardon and that there was nothing real to that encounter with Jasmine. “Just play along.” That’s all I was doing.

I sat in class wondering what Susan wanted that was so important. I wish she went to my school, so I could run into her during the day. I thought of the perfect place we could sneak off to at lunch. My thoughts were interrupted by Mrs. Parker’s voice, “Please come to the front and write out your answer on the board, Joe.”

Thank god my dick was laying flat as I stood up. I had no idea what the question was, let alone the answer. How stupid I suddenly felt must have been vividly displayed on my face. “Joe, please try and pay attention! We are talking about the meaning of Thanksgiving. Can you tell the class what Thanksgiving means to you?”

“A five-day weekend.” My already snickering peers burst out laughing as my perturbed teacher scolded me with her eyes. Good thing I didn’t say what I was really thinking.

“I’m sorry Mrs. Parker. I guess I’m already in the holiday spirit. I feel very blessed to have a great family, friends, and neighbors. I’ll spend Thanksgiving with them giving thanks for all the wonderful things we have and the freedom we enjoy in America.” I was so full of shit I was sure the class could smell me. Instead, the whole class stared in amazement.

Mrs. Parker said, “Very good. I didn’t think you were listening.”

After the forty-seven-minute class ended, I eagerly got out of the chair and headed for the door. I was hoping I could avoid Bobby and make it to my bus. I wanted to get home so I could wait for Susan’s call.

“Bobby, it was a joke. Please don’t take it seriously and don’t tell anybody. I don’t want any rumors starting.” I sure didn’t want to have to deal with that getting around about Jasmine. Surely, it would make it back to Susan eventually.

“Dude! If a rumor was going to start, that’s the one you should want! There is no way I am going to believe that was all an act. Not that I know much about making out, but I know enough to know when someone is pretending. You two were sizzling. I mean, I almost caught fire watching.” Bobby’s words only served to remind me of the months of conflicting feelings and my twisted love triangle.

“Well, then I better sign up for drama class because that was all an act to get someone jealous. Jasmine’s my neighbor and that’s it. Let’s face it buddy, she’s hot and almost sixteen. What would she want with me?” My statement wasn’t completely true, but I often asked myself that question.

“So, what’s up with her sister, Susan, who you have to be home for her call later?” Bobby never struck me as being that smart, but he did pay attention.

“She’s my girlfriend.” I hoped the shock on my face wasn’t as obvious as the look of surprise on Bobby’s face. I hadn’t thought; my answer came out easily. It felt right when I said it, but then I didn’t want to have to explain it.
