I first met Monica in my senior year of high school. She made quite an impression. I know, because I remember it like it was yesterday.
I was walking down the hallway with a gaggle of my cronies, talking about every eighteen year old male's favourite subject...girls...when she stepped out of a classroom in front of us, going the same way we were.
"Jesus! Will you look at the ass on her?" my friend Craig gasped. I didn't need him to point her out to me, as I saw the bum in question immediately. She truly looked like she was poured into her jeans. The word 'tight' doesn't do it justice. The jeans fit her perfectly formed ass like a denim second skin, accentuating every curve. She had undoubtedly the most attention-grabbing rump in the school, the perfect balance between youthful resilience and womanly maturity. It flowed up into a taut, narrow waist, and down into a pair of legs that were long, lean and moving quite gracefully. Her hair was a dirty blonde colour, pretty straight, but with a gentle wave to it, and hung down her back to nearly halfway.
"What's her name?" I asked, trying to maintain my reputation as the cool one of our group. We weren't a cool
group
, trending more toward the geek end of the high school social spectrum, but I was the level headed one.
"Monica," Alan said. He was the drooler of the gang, and was staring at her ass as it wiggled along ahead of us. "Don't know her last name."
"Pud-something," Mark laughed. "I think her family is Polish. If you like the rear view, you should see the front. She's in my History class."
"Really?" I asked. "I'd like to see that." I was referring to the 'front view', not the History class.
We reached the end of the hallway. My locker, and most of my buddies' as well, were to the right, but Monica went left, turning up the stairs. I followed, despite the fact that we were headed to lunch. It was worth missing a few minutes of free time to get a look at this beauty. One other student was between her and I, but that just put her ass at a more convenient viewing height while climbing the stairs, and the view was remarkable. Even better, there was a landing midway up, where the stairs turned 180 degrees to continue.
Mark says the front is as good as the back. We'll see,
I thought. She reached the landing, and turned.
Mark, buddy, I'll never doubt your opinion again.
How do you say 'wow' in Polish? She was gorgeous. Absolutely gorgeous, with huge blue eyes, and a truly beautiful face. My first impression was that she looked a little like Paulina Porizkova, the former Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. I was so taken with those eyes that I almost missed her chest, which was obscured by her armload of books, but looked quite ample.
I followed her all the way to her locker, which turned out to be in the upper hallway, above my own. I'd
like
to say that I stopped and talked to her, but I wasn't
that
cool and confident. No, I just walked on by, checking her out for as long as possible.
That pretty much summed up my involvement with her. Call it silently lusting from afar. Well, that was it, until the beach party. Then things changed.
It was a typical high school get together. A diverse selection of cliques. More like several concurrent parties happening in close proximity to one another...until the football came out. A game of catch that just kept growing until it became a too big, two teams were picked, and it was on. It was a mix of guys and girls, and despite that, the girls wanted to play tackle. None of the guys were going to argue, because you tackle with your hands, so it meant getting to touch.
Most of the game was uneventful. The tackling was gentle, and the licensed groping was kept to a minimum. I was perhaps a little
too
into the score of the game, so when Monica (you remember her, right?) caught the kickoff and ran forward, I moved in to stop her. A scrum of bodies appeared in my path, and I weaved through them, diving to the right to tackle her.
I swear, as God is my witness, I didn't intend what happened. I was just trying to get a hand on her...not get a hand on her, um, boobs. Quite the way to introduce yourself, but not recommended. Anyway, I brought her down, with a handful of her sweatshirt and her left breast. Since I landed on top of her, and my hand was trapped under us, all she had to do is follow the arm, from my still full hand, up to my face, and the culprit was identified.
She glared at me, those beautiful blue eyes full of anger, while I tried to extricate my hand.
"Sorry," was the extent of the conversation, as I apologized and stepped away. What was I supposed to say... "Hi, I'm Dave. Those are really nice tits. What are you doing Saturday night?"
The game broke up, and the party soon after. I felt awful, pardon to pun.
***
Nearly two years passed. I completely forgot about Monica, her perfect ass, blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, and soft, luscious breasts.
See? Hardly remember anything about her, at all.
I got invited to a party, more of a backyard barbecue / potluck. I only knew the person that invited me, but maybe I'd find someone interesting there to talk to.
I arrived at the address I was given, parking on the street. My contribution to the meal was an extra large pizza with nearly everything on it, demonstrating my distinct lack of cooking skills. I walked up to the front door, and rang the bell.
There was a name plate next to the door. P-U-D-Z-I-A-N-O-W-S-K-I. I was mentally trying to get my tongue around that when the door opened. A rather attractive older woman stood there, looking strangely familiar. Something about her eyes...but before I could figure it out, she just waved me in.
"Hi," she smiled, "I'm Karlyn. Everybody's out back."
"I'm Dave," I said, offering my hand, which she took graciously. "May I ask...how is your last name pronounced?"
"Just the way it's spelled," she laughed. Obviously not the first time she'd had the question, she continued, "the easiest way is POOJ-YAN-OWSKI."
"Poojyankowski," I repeated, incorrectly, despite her succinct example.
"Not 'kowski', she said,"... 'nowski'. Pooj-yan-owski. Look, just call me Karly...it's easier."
I walked into the kitchen, placed the pizza box on the countertop, and turned to go out to the backyard.
"You! What the hell are you doing here?" the voice said, and I looked up, startled. There was a tall, beautiful blonde standing a few feet away, shooting daggers from her incredible blue eyes.
"Monica?" I asked, stunned.
Shit!

I should have just left, saving myself from the embarrassment of having her tell everyone about the reason why she hated me. That would have been the smart thing to do, but that's about when my friend, the one that invited me to this little gathering, saw me, and dragged me outside. He introduced me around to some of his new acquaintances, almost distracting me enough to forget about Monica.
I say 'almost', because every time I happened to cross paths with her, she gave me that look again, reminding me that me first meeting with her, almost two years ago, hadn't ended well. It also reminded me how wonderfully soft and sexy her breast had felt in my hand, the reason for the nasty looks.
When the dinner bell rang, the entire herd thundered inside to load up their plates with food, then filtered back out to eat. When I came out, I noticed that Monica was sitting by herself, off to the side. My presence had sullied her mood, and she was trying not to let that fact ruin the fun for everyone. I had to say something. She had her head down, and didn't see me approach.
"Monica?" I asked quietly. She looked up, and her eyes flared again.
"What do you want?" she spat.
"May I sit down? I want to apologize...again, for what happened, and for ruining your fun today." I spoke softly, begging forgiveness, but two years builds up a lot of scar tissue.
"I don't care," she grumbled, "Go ahead and sit. It's a free country...just stay over there, and don't touch me."
"Thank you," I said, taking a seat out of touching range. "Who are you here with?" I thought small talk might help loosen her up.
Think again.
"It's my fucking house, and my fucking party!" she growled.
Oh shit...that really means I need to fix this, or I'll forever be the guy that felt her up, then ruined her party. Not that I had higher aspirations than 'tolerated acquaintance', I just didn't like being the 'hated vermin'.
"Monica," I said, putting my plate aside and turning to face her. I was still no Lothario, but I had learned that if you want a woman to take your words seriously, you give her your undivided attention. "I owe you a huge apology. There's no excuse for what happened on the beach that day. All I can say is that it was an accident, and I'm very, very sorry. I hope it didn't cause you any embarrassment. I don't expect you to forget, but if you could find it in your heart to forgive me, I would be grateful." There was a long silence, while she contemplated her response.
"Why do you care if I hate your guts?" she asked, with less venom. "We're not friends, and we never were."
