It turned out that Lynn changed her mind about the "theater sex" escapade I had proposed for the day we had picked up our yearbooks. She thought that wearing blue jeans would be awkward for her during such a stunt. Also, I think she needed a bit of time to think things over and get ready for it.
So on yearbook day, we went to another venerable Bronx venue, the RKO Fordham, and we saw
Emperor of the North Pole.
It was a rousing epic of hobos versus railroad men during the Depression. Lynn loved it, but so did I; I'd watch anything with trains, especially steam trains, in it.
A few days later she called me and told me she'd be ready to go on the following day, assuming I was up to it as well. It was to be at the Paradise, as I originally proposed. I said yes, and she had one condition for me. She wanted me to pick her up outside her building on Wallace Avenue.
I asked her, "Sure, but is there any particular reason for that?" It wasn't that far out of the way for me and I had done it before.
She replied, "Oh, you'll find out when you get here."
The next day I was outside her building when she came down. I had spoken to her on the intercom first. When she emerged from the lobby, I saw that she was wearing a short black skirt with white dots. It was shorter than any skirt or dress that I had seen her in before. Her pale, slender legs emerged below the hemline.
After kissing me, she said, "So, what do you think of this?"
I tried to be cool about it, and I replied, "It certainly looks notable." I had said something like that on graduation day.
"Just notable, huh? As you can probably guess, this is the reason I had you meet me here today."
"Actually, I don't get it."
"All right, I've never worn something this short before. I think if I walk around in public like this, I'd get too many guys ogling me and maybe trying to pick me up or otherwise giving me a hard time."
"What makes you think that?"
"Because I know how guys operate. You should see yourself; you're gaping at me."
I tried to deny it, "I hadn't realized that. So am I supposed to be your protector or something?"
"Guys usually won't mess with a girl when she's with her own guy." She laughed. "Even someone like you."
I must have had an expression of being offended or that my feelings had been hurt. She said, "Hey, don't worry about it. But be honest; what are you really thinking about right now?"
It seemed like a good time to appear clever and cocky, so I told her the truth. "First of all, I'm wondering about what kind of panties you have on, assuming you have them at all. The second thing is that I'm imagining putting my hands under your skirt and yanking them off."
"I am so wearing panties. They're quite cute, in fact. When I get a chance, I'll give you a flash." She gave me an appraising look. "You see what I mean about guys? You already have an erection; it's pushing against the front of your pants."
All I could say was, "I can't help it"
"Yeah, I bet you can't help it."
I looked down at her feet. "What's with the tennis shoes?"
"I never wear sandals on New York streets. I need a little more between my feet and whatever is lying around on these pavements." Then she patted a cloth bag she had over her shoulder. "I also have an extra, longer skirt in here in case I have to go off on my own."
"I thought some women like to display themselves."
"Well, not me so much, except to people I know and trust." She took my hand. "Let's go and have some cinematic fun."
As we crossed Pelham Parkway to get to the bus, we cut across one of the malls separating the roadways. When we were a in a small grove of trees, Lynn looked around and then raised her skirt above her waist. Her panties were very nice skimpy pink ones. They might have been the same ones she had worn on graduation day.
She shook her ass at me; then she turned around to give me the front view. When she dropped her skirt, she said, "I bet you're really getting hard now."
