Chapter 7

I ended up driving home that night on auto pilot. Getting home, I gave a shout upstairs to let my parents know I was home, and then took the dog out for a walk. This time I hadn't bothered to take my walkman out with me. I had enough in my thoughts to keep my mind occupied. Unfortunately, part of that was the thought that I was still turned on from earlier with Nicole. I had hoped that it would calm down on the drive home, but that wasn't the case.

Once I got back inside, I went down to my bedroom, and turned on the radio, to listen to some music. Flipping through a few stations and getting only commercials, I decided to put a CD in. Tonight's choice ended up being a Def Leppard CD, Adrenalize.

With the music playing, I changed out of my clothes and climbed into bed, and was, as usual, just wearing my boxer briefs to bed. Letting out a sigh, I looked down towards where my cock was still tenting up the sheet, with its arousal. I knew I wouldn't be able to go to sleep until it'd gone down, so with my right hand I reached down to grip it, pulling it out of my shorts. My left hand dipped down for the tube sock I used. With thoughts of Nicole's body and how she'd felt running through my mind, it didn't take long before I felt my cock exploding it's cum into the sock.

It was about ten the next morning, when I woke up. Pulling on a pair of shorts and t-shirt I took Grizz out for his morning walk. Once I was back from that, I decided to go out for a run. The time out on the road could do me some good. It did give me a chance to think about how things were going with Nicole. I liked her. I liked her a lot. I had still only known her for a couple of weeks, so I didn't have any illusions of whether we were set for anything long term, but I'd enjoy whatever we would have together.

Thinking about how things had happened the night before, I knew I had turned her on. I had possibly even turned her on a lot, if she was worried about losing control of herself. It was nice to know. I'd been trying to pay attention to how she was reacting, to the way I'd been touching her. It made sense to me that it was the thing to do; study how she reacted to what I did, to know what she liked, or when I was doing something right.

Most of the rest of the morning, and into the afternoon, went fairly typically for me. After getting back from the run, I'd showered and gotten cleaned up before making some macaroni and cheese for lunch. My two sisters were already out of the house somewhere, so, once again, it was just me. After I'd had my lunch I did a few errands around the house, cleaning up a little. I was, by no means, a neat freak, but I had to make sure things like my dirty clothes were put up where they belonged, that my clean laundry was put away and basic things like that.

I had chores too, that needed to be done on a regular basis. Each of us kids was responsible for vacuuming one of the levels on the house, as well as our own room. Since there were four levels and three kids, we also each had an additional duty to even things out. In my case it was also vacuuming each of the stairs. Since I had time, and also didn't want anything to mess up my plan for tomorrow, I went ahead and got my vacuuming taken care of.

Once I had the cleaning done, I gave Josh a call, to let him know that everything was still good for our plan, to meet at KFC the next day. The conversation went quick, as it seems to with most guys on things like that. Teenage girls could talk on the phone for hours, and still have things to say to each other. Most of the guys I knew, and I was included, would usually just keep a typical conversation short and sweet. Well, at least when it was with another male. When it was with a girl, I'm sure I could drag it out longer. I'd already had a time or two where I'd talked to Nicole for a half hour or more on the phone, and that was even after we'd just left each other.

I still had a little bit of time before I was planning on leaving for work, so I started up some music; today's choice being a Chicago CD that was full of mostly relaxing music. While the music played, I thought a little about how things had changed for me. As of last night, I had my first girlfriend. In thinking about it, I probably already had a crush on her at this point. She wasn't the first I'd had a crush on, that went to a girl I went to school with named Megan. The two girls actually looked somewhat similar, but I didn't think there was anything really noteworthy in that. Megan and I were friends; I'd even danced with her during some of the school dances. I could even remember a time where she'd actually asked me to dance, while we were still in junior high. Thinking back on it, that may have been a sign that she'd been interested in me. I tried to make a mental note of it, as something that could be useful, if or probably when things ended between Nicole and I.

I was a realist about Nicole and me. By no means, did I think that she was going to be the girl I'd be with the rest of my life. That type of thing only happened in the old stories; that someone would find and fall in love with their first love interest. I was still just in high school, people could change a lot over the few years we had in high school. It did have a romantic thought to it, of course, but that was the type of thing from a story book ending.

Thinking about it, I did have to admit that I wasn't like a lot of the guys I knew. I'd meant it, when I told Nicole that I wanted to wait until she was ready, for anything more to happen between us. I also meant it when I'd said that I wanted my first time to be special, not just something that happened in the heat of the moment. I suppose I had a touch of the romantic in me. Maybe I was even a little old fashioned. I knew a lot of the guys I went to school with were either not virgins, or were working hard to try to fix that problem.

Once the CD ended, though, I took a look at the time. It was almost 2:30 now, and I had to be to work at 3:00. Shutting the radio off, I changed into my work clothes, and then went out to get in the car and head to work. On the way in to work today, I had to stop to fill the car up with gas, so in the process of stopping at 7-11, I also picked up a 1 liter drink to take with me. Pulling into the employee lot, I parked the car and walked into the office, looking around for a minute, until I'd spotted Nicole. Going over to her, I slipped an arm around her waist.

We were only there waiting for a couple of minutes; we actually didn't talk much, beyond just asking how the other had slept. The rest of it was just spent enjoying being together, being close. Once the night's game assignments were given out, we had to head to our respective games. Once again, it seemed like we'd been assigned to games at opposite ends of the park. We ended up parting with a quick hand squeeze and a promise, that we'd see each other before the night was over, at the least.

Tonight I'd ended up getting assigned to a throwing game. It was one where you had to knock down three targets in three throws. Each of the targets was plastic surrounded by a fur type border, which made it look bigger than what it actually was. Of course people could tell that the border wasn't solid, so they knew to try to aim for the center, but it was still hard enough that it was easy to miss.

One of the nice things about this game was that it was fairly easy to work with; there was a rope that you pulled, which would stand the targets back up for you. Another nice thing about it was the presence of the balls themselves. If you got bored while you worked, you could toss one around or throw at the targets to show how it was done.

The night, as a whole, went fairly quickly, though; not really much going on beyond a few people I knew walking by and saying hi. I saw Tenille and Tanya go by together. From what they'd told me, they were going to go out and see the Shawshank Redemption, later that night. We'd talked for a few minutes, and I'd told them to tell me what they thought of the movie when I saw them again.

During dinner I'd run into Josh, and we talked about the plans we had for the next day. He'd taken his girl out a few times, as well, so each of the couples wouldn't be in a first date type of setting. He'd also asked me if I'd kissed her yet, because he didn't want to feel bad, since he was planning to bring a separate blanket out, for the two of them to make out on a little.

At the end of the night, it actually ended up being Nicole coming down to meet me at my game. I'd had the outside door halfway closed, and was in the backroom going through the boxes of inventory I had, when she came through the door. "Looks like I finished first, this time." She stepped in close to me for a kiss. Since the backrooms for most of the games were separate, it was easy to get away with, though there were a few games that shared a backroom.

During the kiss, I let a hand dip down to give her ass a squeeze, while I flicked my tongue out to dance with hers. We held the kiss and that caress for a minute, before breaking apart. "We should probably go ahead and get this finished, and then we can figure out somewhere a little more appropriate to continue." Nicole gave a nod of her head in response, and between the two of us it only took a couple minutes to have everything wrapped up. Once done, we stepped out and got everything locked up before heading back towards the office hand in hand. Getting into the office, timing was to my advantage, I was able to get checked out and get out in short order, and then we were back out the door.

After checking out, we headed back out to the parking lot, stopping over at her car, where I opened the door for her, before turning to face her. As was getting to be the norm for us, my hands slipped down to her hips, resting there while I looked at her. "Do you need to be heading for home, or do you want to go somewhere?" "I've got a little bit of time before I need to head back. How about we head back to that park again, tonight, and spend some time there for a little while?" I'm sure she thought it was a rhetorical question, after all, did she honestly think I was going to say no? "Sounds like a good idea to me, go ahead and follow me again, and I'll see you there in a few minutes." I let her climb into her car before closing the door, and then heading over to where I was parked, making sure she was behind as I pulled out and headed towards the park again.

We parked and both climbed out. This time she'd moved quick enough and was close enough behind, I didn't have the chance to get the door for her. Taking her hand, I took her back to our spot from the previous night, over against the tire ladder, feeling her settle in against my chest. As she did so, I actually started to chuckle a little, causing her to look up at me with a questioning look on her face.

"I just had an amusing thought." I leaned in to give her a kiss on the forehead. "Tomorrow was supposed to be our first date. I'd say we're doing pretty well so far, wouldn't you?" She thought about it for a second, too, and then laughed a little. "Yeah, I see what you mean." She got almost a wicked look on her face. "So maybe that means I should make sure I don't kiss you tomorrow. Wouldn't want you thinking you could get away with a lot, if I were to kiss you on our first date." I laughed a little at what, I could only assume, was a joke, at least hopefully. Just to test it, though, I leaned in closer to give her a kiss, feeling my lips meet hers, and then hers open a few moments into it as I slipped my tongue into her mouth. While we kissed, I could feel her mold herself up against me; her boobs pressing against my chest and her lower body pressing up against my cock.

While she pressed close and we continued the kiss, I used one of my hands to pull the hem of her shirt out of her shorts. Instead of going up the front, though, I let it move up the back, feeling the smooth skin at the small of her back. I let my hand linger there, caressing her lightly before moving it further down, over her shorts, and giving her ass a squeeze. While I felt her ass in my hand, I'm sure she could feel that I'd quickly hardened, after all, she was pressing up against my cock.
