Chapter 6 - Learning is Fun
I went out to run some errands for my mother and when I returned, she told me that Carrie had called wanting to know if I could stop by and see her sometime after she got home from work and had a chance to eat dinner. "Call her back and see if there's a specific time she'd like you to stop by," Mom said.
I couldn't wait to do just that, but instead, I put away the groceries I had just brought back from the store and puttered around some more before mom reminded me, "Don't forget to call Carrie back!"
I called her from my cell phone and she answered after the second ring. "Hi!" she said excitedly. "Can you stop by this evening?" Since Mom was standing just a couple feet away, I tried to remain neutral. "Sure. What time would be best for you?"
Carrie picked up on the vibe and her voice became more normal. "How about 6:30? That will give me time to get cleaned up after work and have some dinner."
"Sure. I'll see you then," I agreed. We said our goodbyes and hung up.
The rest of the afternoon and through dinner, I could barely contain my excitement at seeing Carrie, but worked hard to remain indifferent in front of Mom and the others. While I helped clear the table, my mother even felt the need to remind me of my appointment with her friend. "Oh, yeah," I said casually. "I should probably start heading over there now."
Carrie met me at the door and as soon as I was inside we embraced in a long, sensual kiss. "Mmmmm....," she whispered. "I've been looking forward to that all day!"
"Me, too!" I replied before giving her another, harder kiss. I'm sure she didn't miss my hardening dick pressing up against her middle from under my shorts.
"Easy there, Tiger," she commented while drawing back a little. "I was thinking about what you said the other evening and thought maybe we could learn more about each other and have a little fun at the same time."
"How's that?" I asked.
"I was thinking we could play a little game," she answered. "Follow me." Pulling my hand, Carrie led me back to her bedroom. Things were already looking interesting.
We both sat on the bed and she explained. "The rules are simple. We take turns answering a question from the other person. Nothing is off the table, so you can ask about anything you want. After every other question, we get to have the other person take off one article of clothing. The game ends when we're both naked." She gave me a wolfish grin.
I couldn't help but smile back. "Sounds like fun! Are you sure that's when the game ends, though?" Carrie laughed and for the first time, I didn't feel inadequate. "Ladies first?"
"Sure!" she answered. The game didn't last long, since I was wearing just a pair of shorts, a t-shirt, my underwear and some flip-flops. Carrie wasn't wearing much more; just a t-shirt, loose shorts, her bra and panties, and sandals. By the time we were both naked, I had learned that until me, she had not slept with a man since her divorce nearly ten years before; she liked to read and romantic novels were her favorite, closely followed by mystery-adventure books; and she had a small collection of sex toys that she had not used in a while.
I had plenty of questions I wanted to ask about the pictures that had been on her old computer, but we were having fun and I didn't want to dampen the mood by prying into a subject that I was sure she wanted to keep buried.
She learned from me that I had never had a serious dating relationship with a girl, I enjoyed reading non-fiction books in the science fields, I liked listening to a lot of my Mom's classic rock music collection, in addition to smooth jazz and some of the more contemporary rock bands. "Tell me one of your fantasies," she asked. At the time, she was wearing just her panties and sandals, while I was wearing just my flip-flops.
My mind went blank and then started racing. "What do you mean?" I stalled.
