From Chapter 02: Amy and I go on our first real date, with a lot of kissing and touching. After a weekend apart, Amy freaks, and has a meltdown, so I take her in for a couple of days to help calm her. I get her calmed with a whole body massage. The second day (Tuesday) continues with this chapter after a busy day dining, bowling, running, and loving. She shows me what a charmer she really can be, and my admiration of her deepens. What will come next, I haven't the foggiest clue!

My Dilemma: Janie or Amy ... or Kathy?
Part Four, Round Two with Amy:
Amy is ready to spend a second night with me. It seems, after the active day we have had, that it might be a rather sedate evening for us tonight. My promised second massage will likely take place later to get her relaxed for sleeping. I am thinking about my off-handed promise of an inappropriate touch or two during tonight's massage, and I know that Amy is likely counting on it. But, what the hell ... how much trouble can I get into, really?
As I begin to make dinner, I am thinking about a conversation I had with Kathy's friend Tammy at the cafรฉ the other day. Her motive is unclear, but I always thought that she had an interest in me, and would pursue it if Kathy were not around. So, there I sit having lunch by myself and Tammy comes in without her 'crowd' and plops her ample butt down at my table. Tammy is pretty and intelligent, but she is what you might call a shapely 'plus-size.'

"Hello Michael, mind if I join you?" she said with a bright smile.
"Sure Tammy, no problem." I say wondering what is going on behind those dark blue eyes of hers.
She orders a light lunch when the waitress arrives, and we engage in conversation about mundane things, but I notice that Tammy carefully avoids talking about Kathy, until later in the conversation.
"Michael, have you ever heard of Jason Nesbitt?
"Um, yah. I guess so." I answer.
"Well, um Kathy knows him too. I fact because of his 'reputed size,' she asked me to introduce him to her. Jason and I went to the same high school."
"Well, he has a reputation amongst the jocks as well ... what do they call him ... the stallion?" I respond.
Tammy giggles and blushes a little. "Yes. He would make a Shetland pony jealous from what I understand."
"So, Tammy, what interest does Kathy have in Jason, and why would you be telling me this?"
"Oh Michael, Kathy was just curious, you can't blame her after all, and I don't think she was with Jason more than once ... maybe twice. But, I know that she misses you during her visit home, and will be happy to be back on Sunday." She hesitated for a moment and then said,
"Um, Michael, I was thinking about going to Silvia's party on Friday, and if you don't have any other plans, uh, I was um, wondering if you might like to go um, with me."
There it is! Her reason for trashing her friend, she wants to move in on Kathy. Tammy would be a fine date, she is attractive and smart, she has a great deal of sex appeal with her pretty face and large boobs, and she has a lot of friends, but she is just a little too devious for my taste. I told her,
"I actually do have plans for Friday Tammy, but thanks for the invite, sounds like fun, but maybe another time."
"Oh, okay Michael, Um, I just thought you might be lonely with Kathy gone, but no big deal, and as you say, maybe another time."
We talk about a few other things, but Tammy finishes her lunch quickly, and leaves with a "thank you" after I offer to pick up the tab.

Later, dinner prep with Amy is underway, and I am still thinking about my lunch with Tammy, and her information that behind my back, my "girlfriend" fucked the guy with the largest cock on campus ... as far as anyone knows. The rumor is that he is packing twelve inches, and has been very popular with the girls on campus. I just figured that my girlfriend would not be one of them. If Tammy's informing did not help her, I might just help Amy. I may be making a decision I have been leaning toward for a while.
I start making some rice, steaming some veggies, and broil a couple of good-sized chicken breasts. Amy is helping by selecting the wine to go with it. She selects a Pinot Noir, which is a light red wine, and not a bad choice. I set her to the task of chopping the veggies after she pours both of us a glass of the smooth Pinot. Amy is almost twenty, and nearly old enough for alcohol, so her having some wine is okay with me in private. With our tasks complete to the point where everything is cooking, we two friends clink wine glasses and toast each other.
She turns her glass around with her lip print toward me, and offers it to me for the toast, and I do the same with mineโkind of a vicarious kiss you might say. I have a lump in my throat looking down into Amy's lovely brown eyes. We both recognize the heavy romantic element to the moment we are sharing in silence as I watch her eyes glisten a little. She breaks the spell of the moment by softly saying,
"Michael, I love you! You know that I have loved you since I was fourteen. If you picked me up right now and carried my into the bedroom, I would let you make love to me. I know that you have always thought of me in only one dimension ... as just a brat ... just Janie's kid sister. But, I am much more than that! And all that I am Michael, I am offering ... to you."
I look at her for a long time, as my look of surprise melts into a loving smile with my own eyes starting to glisten. I see tears form in Amy's eyes, and I know she is worried about what I might tell her. I have to be very careful about what I say to her, so trying to organize my thoughts, I start out with,
"Amy, you are lovely person. You are smart, you are joyful and playful ... and you are quite a sexy girl. And yes, your heart is a deeper ocean that I ever gave it credit for ... I oversimplified you and I apologize for being such a fool. Perhaps I oversimplified your sister Janie too, considering her just 'arm candy' back then."
I take a breath and with Tammy's information in mind, I continue, "Hell Amy, I don't really know what love is, do you? I know for certain that I care for you ... I care very deeply for you, Amy. Let's just see how things go tonight."
Amy is riveted to every syllable I am saying as I put down my glass, I gently place my hands on her shoulders and tell her,
"Amy, I honestly do not know my true feelings for you. You are such an attractive and sweet person, and God, you are such a blast to be with! We have been at different places for so long, and I am racing to catch up ... it might not be too long honey."
Amy quickly moves her fingers to her cover her mouth to stifle her bursting out in tears. She swallows hard, clears her throat, and after many seconds gives me her reply.
