Chapter 44

Danny had his spring break, and he came back down to his old neighborhood. He of course stopped to see Jen. He was worried about her anyway, he knew she was upset.

Jen was thrilled. She hadn't seen Danny in awhile, since the last time he returned to their town. Maybe a year. But they had kept in touch and had become quite good friends since his letter. Now she was thinking about him again. He was still good looking, extremely sexy. She remembered kissing him during their brief romance. Before Ryan. She remembered the time he had kissed her when she had been with Ryan, remembering what his lips felt like against hers.

She thought about having sex with him. She tried to picture them in her bed. God she wanted him. God, she was horny. This was the longest she's gone without sex since she had first done it. Danny didn't have sex much, he'd only done it with one girl last year. She got more and more excited thinking about that night, knowing how great it was going to be.

When he came over she gave him a huge hug, pulling him into her house and squeezing him tight. He looked the same, although he commented on her different appearance. She shrugged, saying her hair was easier to take care of like that. He told her she looked nice.

He had brought Chinese food for them, and they sat on her floor and ate it while watching a movie. Jen was feeling the intensity, and wondered if he felt it too. He could try something and she wouldn't turn him down. She wondered if he knew that. Maybe she should make the first move.

Why not? she thought. She would wait for a lull in the movie. She stood up to get something else to drink, using that as an excuse to sit nearer to him when she came back. She sat right next to him, closer than she had been before. Her leg was touching his.

She stared straight ahead at the television, but she could see him looking at her out of the corner of her eye in the dark room. She looked over at him, and they looked at each other. She smiled. He smiled back.

She leaned in and touched his face, still smiling. She leaned in further, eyes closed, and kissed him on the lips. He kissed her back, opening his mouth as she moved even closer to him.

She straddled his lap where he sat, leaning against the foot of her bed. They continued to kiss. She gasped slightly from the pressure of his hardness between her legs. She was so turned on then, he was just so masculine, so hard.

She stood up slowly, taking his hand to pull him up too. She lay back on her bed, and he stared down at her. She pulled off her T-shirt, trying to look as sexy as possible.

"Comere... " she told him with a smile, patting the bed next to her.

He inched towards her, then stopped, still looking at her. Her smile faded. He looked away.

"What's the matter?" she asked him.

He shrugged. "Nothing's the matter. It's just that, I don't think we should."

Jen lay there, stunned. She hadn't considered he wouldn't want her. She sat up, not looking at him. "Oh."

"Jen, I mean, I want to do it, but, you know."

She didn't answer, pulling her shirt back on. She felt like such a fool.

"Jen! Come on," he said, sitting on the bed. He hugged her affectionately.
