Chapter 14

"Something's wrong," I said to Jenny. "Martin looked upset."

"I know. I hope he's okay," Jenny replied.

Jenny and I sat watching the door for Martin and my brother. About a half hour later, they came into the building. I looked at Kirk and could tell he'd been crying. Martin's eyes looked red too.

"What's the matter?" Jenny said.

"I'm moving. My dad's company is relocating him," Martin said sadly.

"When are you moving?" I asked. I watched my brother wipe his eyes with his sleeve.

"We're leaving next Sunday. Dad said they need him in Chicago as soon as possible. I asked if I could stay until the end of the school year, but I can't," Martin replied. "I start at my new school a week from Monday."

Everyone sat silently for a few moments. I smiled at Kirk when he took Martin's hand in his. Moving closer to my brother, I put my hand on his back. He glanced at me and smiled.

"Martin, let's go dance," Kirk said. "I don't want our last days together to be sad. Chicago is only a five hour drive from here. We'll be able to see each other after you move."

"You're right, Kirk. It's isn't the end of the world, is it?" Martin said.

"No it isn't. We can still go to college together as we've planned to do," my brother said.

Kirk and Martin got up. They went to the dance floor and started to dance together. I watched, hoping things would work out for them. Jenny and I decided to dance too. We went over near Martin and Kirk before taking each other into one another's arms.

The four of us danced close for several songs. The DJ changed from slow songs to fast music and back. A slow song came on and Kirk asked me to dance. Jenny grinned and started dancing with Martin.

"Are you okay?" I said as my brother danced with me.

"Yeah, I'm fine, Cindy. Martin and I have been talking about things and we'll be able to make it work if we want it to."

"Do you want it to work out?"

"I think so. When Martin told me he was moving, I felt devastated. Now, after thinking about it, it isn't as bad as I first thought. Maybe it will give me a chance to sort things out," Kirk said.

"Are you still confused?"

"Yeah, aren't you?" Kirk said.

"I guess so. I still think about what sex with a boy would be like. As far as love, I know I love Jen," I said.

Kirk chuckled and said, "Yeah, I feel the same way."

The song ended and we went back to our table. A few of the kids we knew stopped by to say hi and ask how we were doing. No one mentioned that Martin would move away in a few days.

I watched the door to see if Frank would show up. Jenny noticed and teased me about it. Janet York and Carol Burns, two girls that attended our meetings, came in together. Jenny saw them and went over to ask them to sit with us. Martin offered to get the two girls sodas. He and Kirk walked to the refreshment stand together, returning with sodas for all of us.

"I'm glad you guys decided to come tonight," I said.

"Thanks, we decided to check it out," Janet said. "This place is cool."

"Yeah, it's nice to have a place to come where no one hassles you," Martin said.

"Is everyone her gay?" Carol asked.

"No, some of the kids are bisexual," Martin said. "Many of the kids are still trying to sort things out if you know what I mean."

Janet blushed as she nodded. Carol giggled. I asked Jenny to dance with me. We invited Carol and Janet to dance with us. The four of us went out and began moving to the fast song. We all laughed and goofed around while we danced. A slow song came on so I took Jenny in my arms. Janet looked at Carol. They shrugged their shoulders and then began dancing together.

"I want your body," Jenny whispered in my ear. "I want your love too."

"Sweetie, you have my love. You can have my body anytime you want me," I said. I pressed my chest against Jenny's breasts to emphasize my point.

Jenny moved her hand down to my butt. She rubbed me for a moment and then squeezed one of my cheeks. I giggled and did the same to her.

"I think that Carol and Janet like dancing together," Jenny said. She turned me so I could see the two girls.

Janet and Carol held each other close as they danced. I could tell they were talking and giggling. Janet caught my eye. She grinned and then winked at me.

The six of us sat together and danced together. I felt disappointed that Frank didn't show up. I didn't feel attracted to him, but I wanted him to meet our friends. Then, almost an hour later, Frank came into the building. I got up and invited him to sit with us.

Frank seemed very nervous. He kept looking around as we walked to the table. Martin and Kirk welcomed Frank. Jenny, Carol, and Janet said hi to him.

"I'm glad you made it," I said to Frank.

"Thanks, I wasn't going to come, but then I decided that sitting at home didn't sound like fun. I'm not going to stay long," Frank said.

We learned that Frank's parents divorced. He moved to our area with his mom. Frank told us that he didn't have any brothers or sisters. As we talked, Frank began to relax. He sat at the table alone when the rest of us got up to dance. Janet asked Frank to dance with her and he did.

"Are you and Janet having a good time?" Jenny asked Carol.

"I'm having a blast! This is the first time I've been to a dance," Carol said.

"Is this your first date?" I said.

Blushing, Carol giggled. "It is with a girl."

Martin came back from dancing with Kirk. He walked over to Carol and asked if she wanted to dance with him. She got up and waked out to the dance floor with Martin. When they danced, they didn't hold each other very close. I noticed that Kirk watched them too.

For the rest of the evening, we took turns dancing with each other. Just before the dance ended, Frank asked me to dance. I agreed after Jenny winked and nodded at me.

"I'm glad you invited me tonight, Cindy," Frank said as we danced together.

"I hope you're having fun," I said.

"Yeah, it's been a lot of fun."

"I saw you dancing with Kirk. How did you feel about that?"

"Um, it was okay I guess. I like dancing with you better," Frank said.

"I like dancing with you too."

The song ended. The DJ announced the end of the dance and told everyone that a live band would play at the next dance. We all stood around talking until they flashed the lights.

"Want to stay at my house tonight?" Jenny asked as Kirk drove us home.

"Sure. I have to stop and let my parents know. What are you doing tonight, Kirk?" I said.

"I'm going over to Martin's house. His parents are in Chicago for the weekend," Kirk replied.

We stopped at my house so Kirk and I could tell our parents our plans. I took Jenny to my room so Kirk could talk to Mom and Dad. She sat on my bed, watching me put together an overnight bag. I sat on her legs, wrapping my arms around her neck. Jenny giggled and held my butt so I wouldn't slide off. She pulled my skirt up and rubbed my bottom.

Jenny and I kissed for a few moments. "Did you like dancing with that boy tonight?" Jenny said with a giggle.

"It wasn't as nice as dancing with you, Sweetie."

Jenny pulled her head back and looked into my eyes. "I love dancing with you too, Cindy. Being with you is wonderful."

"You miss going out with boys, don't you?" I said.

"No, I don't miss it. You know I like boys, but you know I love you. It seems that all boys want is sex. We can be happy just being together."

I nodded and smiled. Moving one of my hands to Jenny's breast, I said, "We can be happy having sex too."

Laughing, Jenny fell back, pulling me on top of her. We giggled and kissed each other. I squirmed against her, pressing my breasts against hers. Jenny rolled me onto my side and sat up. Before I could move, she reached under my skirt. I opened my legs as Jenny rubbed me.

"Stand up," Jenny said.

I stood up. Jenny pulled me close, reached under my skirt, and pulled my panties down. I lifted my feet so she could remove them. She toyed with my naked pussy, causing me to squirm.

"We should get going, Baby," Jenny said.

I reached for my panties, but Jenny grabbed them before I could. "You won't need these tonight."

I giggled and knelt on the floor. Jenny didn't resist as I removed her panties and then kissed her mons. "Then you don't need yours either."

Jenny and I went downstairs. Mom, Dad, and Kirk sat in the living room. Kirk got up and said, "Are you two ready to go?"

We told my parents goodbye and left. Kirk didn't say much as he drove to Jenny's house to drop us off. Jenny got out of the van and I moved closer to my brother.

"Everything is going to be okay, Kirk," I said as I hugged his neck.

"I know it will, Cin. Thanks for caring," Kirk said.

"Have a good time. I love you," I said.

"I love you too, Cin. See you later."

Kirk waited until Jenny and I walked into the house before he pulled away. We went in to the family room to say hi to Jenny's parents. Her mom asked about the dance and our evening. We sat down to tell her about Martin. Jenny's parents told us that they hoped things worked out for Martin and my brother. Her dad told us that he was unhappy that Mr. Baker had to move, but said it was necessary. Jenny reminded me that Martin's dad worked with her dad.

Jenny and I went up to her room. We listened to music and talked about the dance.

"I wonder if Carol and Janet are going to get together," Jenny said as she changed into a tee shirt and a pair of shorts.

"I was wondering the same thing. They sure looked like they were getting close," I replied. I got up and changed too.

Jenny and I went to bed. We cuddled, kissed, and made love. While hugging in the afterglow, I thought about dancing with Frank.

"What's it like, Jen? You know, being with a boy," I whispered.

Jenny rolled over to face me. She stroked my cheek, leaned close, and gave me a tender kiss. "It can be nice, but it can be bad too. Some of the boys I went out with were mean. They didn't care about anything except themselves. Some of them were rough and hurt me. Some of them just used me. It was fun with the nice boys though.

"Are you thinking of going out with Frank? It's okay you know. I love you enough that I wouldn't stand in the way of your happiness."

I hugged Jenny. Pressing my face into the crook of her neck and shoulder, I began crying. She rubbed my back, soothing me.

"I love you too, Jenny. I just don't know what I want to do when it comes to boys. Whenever I start to think about it, I think of you and me. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you," I said.

Jenny kissed me tenderly. She brushed a few strands of hair from my face and smiled. "Sweetie, no matter what happens we'll always have each other. You'll never lose me as long as you want me. We might find boys, but that doesn't mean I won't still love you."

Snuggling closer to Jenny, I said, "I hope we always feel this way. If I ever do find a boyfriend, he'll have to accept you and our relationship."

Jenny giggled and put her hand on my breast. "I feel the same way, Honey. Maybe if we find boyfriends, and they're very good, we'll let them watch us making love."

I laughed and sat up. "That could be interesting. I didn't mind it when Kirk and Martin watched us." Leaning over, I kissed Jenny's nose. "I thought that watching them was hot too."

Jenny and I snuggled and fell asleep in each other's arms. The next morning, we got up, showered together, and went down for breakfast. Jenny's mom and dad sat at the table with us, eating breakfast.

"What do you two have planned for today?" Mrs. Harris said.

"I have gymnastics practice. We're getting ready for another regional competition and the coach wants us to have as many practices as we can. That's why we're practicing on Saturday," I said.

"When is the meet?" Mr. Harris said with a chuckle.

"Two weeks. We're going to Lansing this time. Can Jenny go with me?"

Mrs. Harris smiled and said, "We're all going, Cindy. We enjoy watching you compete. I talked with your mom and we've made reservations for the hotel."

Jen and I giggled and nodded. "Are Cindy and I sharing a room again?" Jenny said.

"Yes, we got a room for you two," Mr. Harris replied.

We finished breakfast and then Jenny and I cleared the table. We watched television until it was time for my practice. My mom and dad came over to Jenny's house and we all went together.

Jenny sat in the stands with our parents and Shannon. I met Mary Jo in the locker room and we talked while changing into our leotards.

"Jenny and I have a room for the competition. Do you and Shannon want to room with us?" I said.

"That would be great. Are you sure you guys don't mind?" Mary Jo replied.

"I'll check with Jenny, but I don't think she'll mind." I giggled. "We had a great time last time."

Mary Jo giggled and nodded. "It was fun for Sharron and me too, Cindy. I don't think it will happen again though. We've decided that we want to be exclusive. It's nothing against you or Jen."

"That's cool. Are things still bad at home for Shannon?"

"Yeah, in fact, she's moving into my house until we can get our own apartment. Her parents have all but disowned her. My parents understand and they told Shannon she could live with us," Mary Jo said.

"That's great, Mary Jo. I'll bet you two are looking forward to it."

"We are because it'll get Shannon away from a bad situation. Her parents have been mean to her more than they used to be. If they talk to her at all, they call her names. It hurts me seeing her so sad," Mary Jo said.

Our practice went well. Mary Jo and I waved at our girlfriends several times and Shannon and Jen waved back. During a break, they came down so we could talk. I mentioned sharing a room at the meet and Shannon smiled. Jen winked at me, nodding her approval. Our coach blew her whistle and we started practicing again.

After practice, Mary Jo and I went to the locker room. We stripped off our leotards and went into the showers. Ellen and Karen came in to the shower room and stood near Mary Jo and me.

"Are you guys sharing a room again?" Ellen said.

"Yeah, we're staying at a hotel with Shannon and Jen," Mary Jo replied. "What are you two doing for the meet?"

"We have a room too. Maybe we can get together while we're there," Karen said.

"That would be great, Karen. We should plan to have dinner," I said.

Mary Jo and I showered while talking with Karen and Ellen. Other members of our team came into the showers and greeted us. We finished, dried ourselves, and dressed.

"Those two have been nice to us lately, haven't they?" I said as Mary Jo and I left the locker room.

"Yeah, they sure have. Neither of them has said anything nasty to us in a long time. I'm glad you stood up for us and said something to them," Mary Jo said.

I shrugged my shoulders. We went to the bleachers and found Jen and Shannon. They greeted us with hugs and smiles. My parents and Jenny's parents came over and told us how well they felt Mary Jo and I did during practice. We all chatted for a few minutes before leaving.

"We're going to share our room with Mary Jo and Shannon again," I said while Jenny's dad drove to her house.

"That's nice, Cindy. You kid should have fun," Mom said.

"Shannon is moving in with Mary Jo. I guess things are bad at her house," I said.
