A big 'Thank You' to Estragon for his editing and making this a much better read. This story could go in a number of categories: romance, and there is even a little group sex, swinging and even some loving wives. I hope you enjoy the story. There are six chapters in all. The story is finished but I will post a chapter a day do to the length.
Chapter 1
I may only be in my forties, but I've seen a big change in the morals of people since I was a kid, myself included. My parents were very strict and according to them my grandparents were even stricter.
I'm Jeff Adams, and I was sitting here thinking about my past and realized how much things have changed in my short lifetime. I have two older sisters and my parents didn't even let them date till they were sixteen, and then only double dating was allowed.
I was in the parking lot at the hall where my twenty-fifth high school class reunion was being held. I've never attended any of my previous ones and wondered why I was here now.
I need to go back and tell you more about my past while growing up, at least beginning with high school. My dad was a lifer in the service so we moved around a lot. As I mentioned I have two sisters, Grace and Hope. I was the youngest in the family, coming along six years after Hope.
By the time I was a senior in high school both Grace and Hope were already married. Dad had recently retired from the service and went to work for his dad, my grandfather. I had to finish up high school in another school since we moved to a suburb of Detroit.
It's hard meeting new kids in schools where everyone already knows everyone else. Most of the kids attended the same schools since grade school. I got in a couple of fights the first week just because a couple of assholes wanted to know how tough I was, seeing I went to school in the inner city.
I was somewhat on the quiet side, but I was physically fit and knew how to take care of myself, thanks to my dad and my upbringing. Dad had always told me never to start a fight but don't be afraid to finish it.
At least the fights were fair fights and they were over in seconds, unlike a few I had in the city where two or three against one wasn't uncommon. I ended up gaining a little respect and a couple of friends. I guess I became friends with a number of nerds. I tried to treat everyone equally; another rule my dad passed down. I almost felt like a bodyguard to some of the students.
I never played high school sports since we moved around a lot. I could play sports but just didn't excel in any. I ended up going into an office co-op program my senior year. I would go to school half a day and to an office job the rest of the day. So I really never got close to many students my senior year.
My best friend was probably Jenny Ames. Since we were often seated in alphabetical order, to make it easier on the teacher, Jenny and I sat next to each other in most every class we had together. She wore glasses, but was cute as any girl I've known. She was on the slim side and always smiling.
The first day in class she told me if I ever needed anything to let her know. I guess I had kind of an immediate crush on her. Good looks and a personality like hers don't come along often. The bad news was I found out a few days later. She had a boyfriend that attended the Catholic school in town. I'll tell you more about Jenny later.
Another girl I met at my part-time job after school was Mary Jenson. She had graduated the year before from the Catholic school and was a receptionist at the office where I worked. I was a combination stock boy/delivery man for the company. I would joke I was a boy doing a man's job, but Dad didn't think that was very funny.
I was there less then a week before Mary and I started dating. She was built a little heavier, but had the big breasts and liked to wear short skirts that showed a lot of leg. She was a brunette with shoulder length hair and was a little flirty, or maybe it was just her job.
My parents always told me to respect the girls I went out with. They would always say, "You have two sisters and you wouldn't want any guys to hurt them or disrespect them in anyway. Treat all women with respect."
I did follow that rule pretty much. If a girl said "No", I respected her decision, but if she didn't say no it was another story. Mary and I had sex often. Sometimes after work and we would also go out on the weekends.
Mary and I never really went steady but I did think we were monogamous. I liked her a lot and the sex was good but I can't really say I loved her even though we said it to each other a lot. I guess I was just a young horny guy, but I did my best to be faithful to Mary. My problem was I often thought of Jenny and a couple of other girls.
At the time, I still had feelings toward Jenny but wasn't sure what they were. I would hug her but never anything more. Then there was another quiet girl in my class, Tina Overhalt.
What can I say about Tina? She was as cute as they come. Nice build and always smiled at me when we talked. I wasn't sure who I liked being around more, Jenny or Tina. I know it should have been Mary, but it wasn't. She was becoming domineering and kind of gave me that "You owe me because I gave you sex" type attitude.
What I did find odd was all three were brunettes. Tina's hair had a tint of auburn or red in it. I guess at the time hair color wasn't all that important. Looks and personality meant a little more to me. I really wasn't that shallow but just a mixed up young man. I wasn't sure what I wanted. I stayed with Mary because of the easy sex.
Let me tell you more about Jenny. Her name was Jennifer and some people called her Jen, but I preferred Jenny. As I said earlier, she was my best bud in high school. I would often drive over to her house and the two of us would talk and joke around. She was so easy to talk to. I got along with her family but her boyfriend Mark and I weren't the best of friends. Usually if his car was parked at Jenny's house, I didn't stop.
Looking back I know I was probably trying to steal Jenny's affections. I think we would have made a great couple. She and Mark would fight or at least argue often, that's when she and I would talk and I would console her. Damn, I liked holding her in my arms.
She told me many times she wished Mark was more like me. I did my best to treat her more like a loving sister but it wasn't easy. It was months later when that all changed.

Tina, what can I tell you about Tina? We hit it off as friends right off the bat. She had a younger brother who I got along with. For a dollar he would usually leave us alone. Her mom and dad were divorced, so her mother didn't trust guys at all.
We didn't go out on our first date till after the Christmas holidays. I guess I can thank Mary for that. Right after Christmas Mary said she thought we should date other people. I later found out she'd already started going out with some older man named Rick.
I talked with Jenny that night and she told me that Mary wasn't good enough for me anyway; I deserved someone better. When I asked her if she wanted to go out, she laughed and told me if she wasn't going with Mark she would jump at the chance. She and Mark had been together since they started high school.
She told me she had never been with anyone but Mark. They were going to get married right after they both graduated. Mark's dad owned a large grocery store in town and Mark worked there after school. His dad was going to make him an assistant manager after graduation.
Jenny had taken the office classes in high school and would be working there also. They had been planning their future for a while. Since Mark was an only child he would someday inherit the business.
