Chapter 27: Three People on a Mission

After the very, very pleasant early a.m. with Mary, I pedaled to the Grocery store. My mind was all over the place, going from driver "ed". to Carly, to ways to make winter cash, to Carmen, and several times – to the deposit I had eased into Mary's mouth just moments ago. When I hit the parking lot of the market, it popped in my little peanut brain that – DUH – somebody I know works here ... and I started to wonder if Laura might be around mid-morning on a Saturday.

And sure enough ... there she was, right in the middle of the action, busting her tail to check out customers. I passed behind the long lines, but couldn't get her attention – she was that busy. So I got my basket, pulled out my list, and got down to the chore of picking up food for the house ... probably one of my easier tasks. I had reached aisle #3, when I saw Laura headed toward the back of the store. I yelled out what I hoped would be a not too obvious... "YO!" in her direction. Laura looked around, started to continue on – but then my second "YO" got her attention and her smile. We met halfway in the aisle, flashing big grins to each other. And even though there were no "security cameras" back in the day, we knew we needed to be a little cautious. She got to the front end of my basket, and grabbed it with both hands – I took that as a hug (haaaa).

I started with "how do you feel?"... "GREAT", she shot back, as if she had anticipated the question. "I see you're busy today, yourself", she remarked after looking in my basket. "Nothing like you – I saw you when I came in", I said... "You look terrific, girl" My compliment may have embarrassed her a little ... she looked down for a second, but then picked up her chin and broke into another broad smile. She grabbed the list from my hands, then carefully dropped it ... we both stooped down to "fetch" it, and that's when she touched my leg and whispered, "I want you to Fuck.me..." Then we both shot up to a full standing position again, she handed me the list, and I said "My, this is a very friendly littlestore..." That got me a little elbow to the ribs, then Laura turned on a dime, and continued to the back part of the store. It was very difficult to concentrate on the rest of my search, but I somehow got back to the plan...

When I went thru Laura's checkout line in about 20 minutes, she greeted me professionally, and even said the standard line "Sir, did you find everything you were looking for... ?" I smiled, but said under my breath... " ... not yet..." I was hoping like crazy she heard me ... When she was bagging my groceries, all I could think of was her NAKED. When the receipt popped out, she tore it off, and went to circle my savings ... I waited patiently, for some little secret clue from Laura ... and, I got it when she turned the tape around and "showed me" my great bargain ... alongside the circle was a phone number ... I stuck the receipt in my pocket, and thanked her very much ... When I got to my bike, I looked at the paper again, then laughed as I stuck it back in my pocket.

The groceries were cumbersome, making the front part of my bike a little top-heavy, but I managed to get home without mishap. When I got there, I found my stepfather watching a football game. I said HI, then "where's... ?" He knew "who" I met, and said "she took my check out of my hands the minute I walked in, and tore out of here ... I guess to deposit it in the bank, and run some errands ... I guess you know what we're supposed to do, as soon as she gets back ... right?" I gave an unhappy "yessssss", then ducked my head – we both laughed at that, to ease the frustration. I had a 2nd trip to make back to my bike, to get the remainder of the groceries. When I went outside, I cast my usual look down the hill ... and her was the beautiful Miss Carly, going up the steps to Bev's back door. I let out a "Heyyyyyy you!" and got a smile and a wave. But I kept at my chore.

Then I noticed when I went back for the last bag, she was still standing there on the porch. I set the bag down outside the back door, and moved down to the fence. "What's up?", I said to the basketball star. She said, "maybe I messed up on the time, but I thought I was supposed to meet Bev here for lunch..." So I said, "what are you going to do now?", noticing that the driveway was empty. Then I continued, "did your ride leave you here?" ... then Carly broke out into a proud smile, and – pointing to her left, she said "N-N-Nope!" Then I finally focused on a sparking new bicycle – a GIRLS bicycle, leaning against the side wall of the house... "well, nowwww ... you have moved up in the world!" We both laughed out loud, as I congratulated her on her new freedom, as much as I did on her new "ride". I looked around again, and said "so where IS our friend? ... uhhh, want to go for a walk – or maybe a bike ride?" Carly gave me the once over, and an enthusiastic YES. My mind was now in full creative mode, so I said, "give me a minute" ... I quickly went inside, then asked him just how soon "she" was going to be back ... without taking his eyes off the game, he said, "I really don't know..." Seizing the moment, I explained, "one of my friends is next door, would it be OK if I spent some time with her, until we have to go? – I won't go far, and I'll check for the car every few minutes". He shrugged his shoulders, saying "I'm going to head down to the basement and work a little ... so we'll both just wait her out..." When I turned around, I was doing my damndest to come up with a plan ... so I stuck a few slices of bread, and a small package of ham in a lunch bag, threw a pepsi in on top of it, and said – "maybe we'll go down the hill and have a little picnic – that way I can keep an eye on the street, and I'm sure I'll see her when she comes back in..." Still into the game, he nodded, and said, "sounds good to me..."

With that, I bolted outside, I joined Carly at the fence, and handed her the bag. "Feel like a little picnic... ?" She answered with a smile ... then I ducked into the basement and grabbed a thick blanket from under the chaise lounge (a soft item that had come in handy, during some previous adventures down there... ). I popped my head out the door, and with blanket under my arm, I said "taa dahhhh!" Carly laughed, but then when I stepped to her side of the fence, I took her hand and turned us NOT in the direction of the Park, but toward the woods in back ... I felt her stare at me from the side, but I just looked dead ahead, while talking about her game a couple of days earlier. We went into the forest, but this time we worked past the "nightclub"set, to a small open spot, maybe 50 yards further into the trees. We finally set up there, then I carefully looked around, to make sure we were alone. Carly sat down on the blanket, apparently very happy that we were having time together.

She opened the bag, as I said, "too bad you guys couldn't quite catch 'em on Thursday – but they were good". After Carly had emptied the bag, I took the cap off the bottle – wedging one of my keys under the lid – for big dummy had forgotten an opener – and handed it to her ... as she was sipping, I broke off a small portion of bread, put a little fold of ham in it, and – pushing her hand down, as she started to take it – I fed Carly the little treat, directly to her mouth. She smiled, then focused her eyes on mine as she chewed. When I put a second little portion in her mouth, she licked the tips of my fingers. Then I said, "now, what were we talking about last time... ?" Carly leaned toward me, putting her lips on mine, and whispered "here's a hint" ... then, "I'm glad she wasn't home, I really was hoping I'd see you while I was visiting her..." I said simply, "I'm here..." She gave me a couple of sweet kisses, then I took over. I reached inside her jacket, and started working on the buttons of her shirt, and quickly caught sight of her bra underneath. She saw the excitement in my eyes, and lifted my head up... "do you want me... ?" I didn't answer ... well, unless you consider burying my tongue as deep as I could in her mouth as an answer ... I worked my fingers thru Carly's beautiful long hair, and kissed all over her neck, making her start to shake... "tell me what you want..." I said, as I kept working on her... "I, I want you to love me..." she reacted. But I decided to probe for more..."no, tell me exactly what you want..."

She grabbed at me in several places, but mostly kept receiving my mouth on her ... finally she came out with... " ... touch me ... eat me ... FUCK me ... NOWWW..." I pulled her up into my lap, and getting her bra as loose and off her shoulders the best I could, I absolutely feasted on her two beauties. "Are you cold... ?" I asked... "Nooo", she merrily said. Then I licked her nipples, and pulled back to let the breeze hit them ... before I could ask for an update ... Carly barked out a "YESSS ... you ... you..." I sensed she was searching for a "cuss word" ... so I suggested, "Bastard? SOB?", between laughs, but she opened her shirt and wrapped it around my head, giving me the warmth of her chest, and said "Just Please don't stop..." I gave Carly a working over that I hoped she'd remember ... she was now moving her hips into my midsection, and giving me the look that matched her request. As I laid her down, I got very busy... "I'm pulling your pants off ... let me get inside your legs, then put the blanket over us..." she nodded to me with excitement, and grabbed the edges of the blanket on both sides of us, as I jerked her panties down. Carly's bush was beautiful, and in the "T" shape that I liked so much, with a row of hair down both sides of her clit and her slit... " You are so very beautiful..." I told her, as I eased her legs apart... "SHOW me..." was what I heard.

The moment I got my tongue inside her warm opening, she threw her legs on my back, and pulled the blanket up to cover both of us. I was so hard at work on her, with her legs pinning my ears to the side of my head, I can only say that I "think" she was saying things like "deeper ... more ... eat me ... EAT IT..." So I took that, and ate her out with a fury. She had that "right out of the shower" taste that was so fresh ... Carly started shaking and moaning "please" ... One climax led to a second, and we started rocking left and right ... She finally ended up on top of my face, now grinding hard on my mouth to get more – and almost shutting off all oxygen ... She then glided down my front, and tried to undo my buckle ... when I saw that her hands were shaking I started helping her, saying "Just pull..." Then the second that my zipper came down and I lifted my hips maybe an inch, she pulled my pants down with one motion. Then Carly came back up on me, gave me a quick lick on the back side of my shaft, and planted my Dick deep in herself ... She looked so damn tall sitting atop me ... She sighed, then moved back and forth with her eyes shut tight, then opened them to say "C'mon, FUCK ME..." I gave her everything I had and made her breathe hard out of her mouth ... Then she said, "finish me, I can't wait..." After one more minute of grinding in and out of each other, she lowered herself to my face, and with our lips together, she made one tiny little request... "I'm yours ... take me..."

I held Carly perfectly still – as she likely had no energy to move, anyway – then I just let my Dick throb inside her motionless body ... with the third throb, I felt a burst into her, making her moan. It was followed by two ... three more just like it ... with Carly gripping me with her body tighter and tighter. We laid there perfectly still, and I was on such a high that I never felt the weight of her body on me ... She lifted her head, looked at me, and opened her mouth, to drop her tongue onto my lips. Then she just let me work on it, in a slow twirl and massage. She got so relaxed, I actually thought she might pass out on top of me ... so I mouthed an "ummm?", still tasting her tongue ... Carly opened her eyes, gave me a kiss, then rolled over to my side. With the blanket back over the top of us, and two sets of legs now locking in for warmth, we were as content as we could be.

Then out of the blue, Carly said, "I'm sorry... " in almost a cowardly tone. I adjusted my arm from around her, neck, and raised up to an elbow ... When I looked into her eyes, she had started to tear up... "Whoa, whoa ... what's wrong... ?", I asked. "I just ... want to be more for you ... I know I can't do it as good as the other girls ... butttt ... I" -- I put my fingers on her lips to stop her ... I saw tears go out the corners of both her eyes, and drip down the side of her face... "Carly? ... Jesus, what's wrong? Talk to me..." I closed her shirt, and I said, "I'm not sure of what you mean... , but ... it's not TRUE ... why, you practically killed me just now with everything you gave me, and everything you did ... Where? What makes you think you did NOT make me completely happy... ? " Carly looked away, then said, "I've dreamed about making love with you three times in the last few nights ... every time I have that dream, I know it's you, and nobody else..." I nodded a quick "OK", then she said... "there's a lot of pressure at school from other boys, and Joy keeps wanting me to go with her, and..." I took the initiative to stop her and say, "well, we all know about Joy, don't we sweetheart? That girl is in a totally different place ... but remember, You are a beautiful, appealing girl, and others are going to see that ... and try to be with you ... I'm so sorry..." Carly rolled back into my grip, and said "But I can't give you what Mary can give you ... she's already a woman..." Then I realized I was in that "gray area", where I would need to pick my words as carefully as possible, from that point forward ... add to that, out in the middle of the woods, all alone with Carly ... there was NO escape from talking it out. How much could I say, how much did I dare reveal? This sensitive, loving, caring girl needed answers, or at least some kind of encouragement.

I sat up with Carly, and I put our foreheads together. I started with, "I think of lot of this has to do with where we are in life, and what we think we want..." Then she said, "All this kind of hit me in the last 5-6 days ... I'm not going to go with Joy and suck boys off, but some of them think I will, and they keep teasing me ... I was so happy when you really came to my game" ... then I nodded a big YES, and said "I told you no way I would miss it... " But she continued, "I got blasted by my Mom & Dad, after they gave you a ride on Thursday..." I know I must have had a skeptical look on my face, for she said "No, it's all my fault ... ever since I was... " – when she stopped talking, I knew she was about to say something about the time she was assaulted – "It's OK, I know ... go ahead" I said, cupping a soft hand behind her neck... "So ... ever since that they have been very protective of me ... and they think I shouldn't even talk to boys until I am much older than now ... they don't want me to get in trouble again." Then I sensed a dynamic in her home that made me instantly get angry – "in trouble?" – could her parents have somehow blamed HER for the attack years ago? WHAT?? ... I bit my tongue, and made myself swallow all the things I REALLY wanted to come out with... "I made it worse when I told them that we were good friends ... then, they more or less told me ' NO BOYS ' and that was final." Then, looking around the trees that surrounded us, she put her arms around my neck, and said, "but all day yesterday, I knew the only thing I really wanted was to be with you..." So then I got very brave, and into an "it's US vs. THEM" mode.

"OK, sweet girl ... first, you just made me as happy as a guy can be ... I can't imagine being closer to anyone than I just felt with you. We are NOT stopping here ... I have some news ... I have been given good reason to believe that I'm about to get driving privileges, in fact I already started checking into driver training. If I get wheels, I promise you that we will have the first date for either of us, in ' history '..." (Damn, that sounds so corny now, but I swear to all of you – it's a direct quote!)

Carly's face brightened, especially when I said, "think about it! there's the mall, there's bowling, we can miniature golf..." and I added, " ... and I think you like the new MacDonald's on Summit Avenue, RIGHT? " Carly started to giggle, shook her head YES, and flashed that very pretty smile. Then she said, " but how? ... they said ... I can't... " But I came back with "I figure the best way to handle this is head on ... no hiding, no secrets ... I have to build up a little trust in my house first, just to get the car keys ... then, when the time is right, I come to your house, be a decent guy right in front them, and leave no doubt that we want to see each other ... that's how we have to do it, in small little steps ... will you give me a little time to work it out on my end? ... then right after, we can start working on convincing them ... I mean ... it may be TV watching in your living room, and cooking "dogs" out back, or studying together on the back porch ... but it'll be a start, right?"

I could see her enthusiasm come back ... then she put her arms around me, and rubbed my back with both hands. "OK, OK let's try!" We laughed, then started to get ourselves together a little ... then I looked at her and said "We'll do it together..." When we stood up, Carly looked me in the eye and asked just one more question..."But ... does all that mean that we have to stop being ... close like this... ?" I took Carly's hands into mine, and said with full intent, "Nothing else changes between us, I would miss you too much ... so I guess we can have one teeny, tiny little secret ... what do you think?"

We held each other tightly as we slowly walked out of the woods ... right before we hit Bev's back yard, we kissed and hugged each other ... When we walked back out in to civilization, we saw Bev's driveway still empty. "Tell you what, I need to go inside for a second and check on things – my stepfather and I are supposed to head out ... but before I leave, I'll look back down here – if you're still sitting on the porch, we'll talk for a second ... the great thing is, you have your new Bike ... but if they've come back by then ... everything is cool ... Remember, You & I have a plan..." Carly nodded, now happy with me. When I looked around the corner, here was our blue Fairlane in the driveway. I ditched the blanket in the laundry room, and bolted inside. I got a dirty look from "her" but ducked around and got his attention, saying a simple "ready?" I saw that Carly had gone inside Bev's house, soooo when we reached the safety of the car, I asked how long had she had been there – he said, "You're in luck, only a couple of minutes..." ... that exchange ended with "well, then..." as I relaxed, and gazed out the passenger side window.

It was nearing 1pm ... when the barbershop came in sight, I muttered "awww ... Goddd". But my stepfather then said, "Let me pull in here ... jump out and see what it looks like inside... " I returned with "six waiting, and two barbers..." So he said, "get in, we'll take a short drive, and check back later..." It wasn't long before I realized we were heading in the direction of the "Ford place" downtown ... When we got there, he motioned at me to follow him toward the used cars ... then he pointed out to me a 1961 Ford Falcon ... it was a black two-door, with some sporty lines, and I could see plenty of room for myself inside, and it had sport wheels. I said, "but how do you like it..." He said it would be a fun car to work on ... the guy came out, and they shook hands immediately – indicating to me that this wasn't their first meeting. I left them to talk about price, as I gave it the once over. For a first car, I thought it looked damn good ... then I got back to them... "So that's your best price, huh?", my stepfather said. The salesman gave a nod ... So my stepfather asked him to give us a minute... "OK, I already drove the car a few days ago, and it's a smooth ride ... He says $1,300 is the deal, sooo ... if I come up with a thousand, can you take care of the rest??" I thought a second, and told him that I could put in $200 right now, and could I work for the other $100 and give it to him a little later... ? He said we could do that ... then he asked me to wait there. He and the salesman met down the line a ways, and shook hands. We got in the car, and he reported, "Alright ... here's the arrangement I made – we come back in a few days, pay him the "13" ... and drive it away. He'll hold it for us 'til then ... but you know what YOU have to do, right?" I perked up and said, "on Monday I will check on getting my driver training started." He grinned and said, "that's it – OK let's celebrate with a couple of MacDonald's burgers, what do you think?" I gave a happy "hell yes" nod, and slowly started to realize what a good Saturday this had been so far.
