I wait for my girl around the corner from her house. It's better that way. No tiresome questions. No polite cups of tea on the front parlour sofa with, "So what do you do for a living, Eric?" No complications. Just my sexy girl and my sapphire Chevrolet Bel Air with the wide bench seats so nice for laying on... and me.
I see her. The afternoon light catches her hair. Her candy-striped hips are swinging. She walks towards me down the street beneath the row of pink ornamental plum trees. A nice street in a nice neighbourhood. A nice girl who's about to get bad with me.
This is our first date, sort of. Well, maybe our second. Not sure how you count it. We met at a party and she ended up on my knee with her big red party dress spread over us. And that wasn't all she ended up on, if you catch my drift.
She opens the car door, and slides into the front seat and I scoop her over beside me and kiss her. She's clutching books to her chest.
"What's this?" I say.
"Library." She's out of breath because I kissed her so hard.
I toss the books on the back seat. "What do you want those for? You got me now. I can teach you so much more, babe."
She smells of shampoo and lavender water. Her eyes go deep and wet when I kiss her neck and the curve of breast beneath her neat white blouse.
"Not here." She pushes me away with the flat of her hand. Sunday-school girl, but I know the secret heat beneath. My heart starts beating funny and my hands start sweating. I want to hold her and protect her from the world. I want to punish her and make her moan. I want to take her hard and fast and make her scream for more. Sweet girls do that to me.
"Somewhere better, then." I bring the engine to life with a grin. "Let's go baby."
She leans against me as I drive. I feel her eyes on me, watching my hand curve around the gearstick, letting the wheel slide smoothly through my palms as we round a corner. I'm in control, driving my car, and driving my sweet baby. I know where we're headed, and I know what the end will be. Just a quiet grassy spot down a red dirt road near the lake. In my mind I'm already laying her on my leather jacket with her ankles round my ears, her fingers digging into my ribs, feeling that tight little pussy stretch round me. The car throbs under me in sweet anticipation.
She nestles into my shoulder. Her hands fondle my grey gabardine shirt. She rubs my chest and runs her fingers under my rolled up shirt sleeves. Then she finds my tattoo, eagle fighting snake, circling my upper arm like a thick blue band. The blue skin throbs, sensitive under her questioning, exploring fingers. That drives me absolutely wild. My pants are tightening fast.
I seize her chin in my hand, turn her face up to me. "You touch my tattoo, you take the consequences, baby."
She gives a nervous giggle and bites her lip and keeps right on touching my arm. My boyfriend's got a tattoo. My boyfriend's so cool. She's loving it, almost purring with pride. Her fingertips trace fine blue lines of the snake beneath my sleeve. We drive past the Sunday afternoon bandstand crowd in the park, past the school with the picket fence and still she's rubbing my tattoo.
I swing the car into main street, and stop at the crossing for a old Ma Parkin with her piecrust hat full of fake roses and her string bag full of root beer. The sun off the drugstore awning across the street burns my eyes. My girl is determined to rile me. I grab her fingers. "Your panties. Take them off. Now!"
She looks disbelief at me with her big kitten eyes. "But we're...But this is..."
"Yeah babe, Main Street. I said there was a price to pay. Now drop 'em."
She slides low on the vinyl seat and reaches under her skirt. The wiggle of her hips as she removes the panties drives me wild. Her cheeks are flushed and she's panting slightly. I know this is making her wet. A kid with a hula hoop and a mom with a pram cross the street inches from my chrome front fender. I nod politely. My girl's white cotton panties hit the floor. I scoop them up and stuff them down the back of the bench seat. "You won't be needing those again today."
She's wearing the usual tangle of stiff petticoats that lift the skirt right off her thighs. Their fullness hides the movement of my hand towards her pussy. I slick her slowly with my finger. She's wet all right. A family toting paper grocery bags makes the crossing. Seems the whole town is out to slow us down today. A miss in a poodle skirt and polaroids waves at my girl. My girl flaps her hand weakly. She makes like she wants to sink below the dashboard. I push my finger inside her hard and she moans.
