Several weeks later, Johanna and I were taking in the sites of the harbor. Sitting on the ledge of the semi-circle seating in front of the ferry launch, we ate our fries in the new days afternoon sun. It was a Sunday, and as another of our rules, Johanna and I took Sundays off to unwind from a usually busy week.
"So," I said casually to Jo. "My mom called yesterday."
"Oh really? Did she ask about your 'job' at the factitious dentist office?" Jo said as she shoved a fry into her mouth.
"Yeah. I told her it was going good. She is happy to know I am getting free teeth cleaning." I said smiling slightly, which turned to a sigh. "She wants me to come and visit this week." I let the statement set into my own head, as well as Johanna's.
"Are you going to go?"
"Maybe...I told her that I had a friend I worked with at the office," I smiled. "She told me she would love to cook for another person."
"Any cute boys in Pennsylvania?" Jo asked squinting through the sun.
"Oh yeah.... several. Who do you want to know about?"
"Hmmm. What about that Josh guy? I've heard you talk about him once or twice."
"Oh yeah. Josh." I smiled with remembrance and laughed as I looked at Jo.
"So, I am assuming you fucked him." she said matter of factly.
"Hell yeah!" I said, "He was my first love, my first heartbreak, my first fuck. Took the virginity from me like a starving man wants food." I laughed again. Jo crumpled up her now empty fry container and took the last swig from her soda. I did the same with my gyro wrapper and pitched in my trash on top of hers.
"So, tell me," Jo said getting excited. "What was it like your first time with Josh? I lost my cherry so long ago, I can't remember which one of my boyfriends or Uncles had the honor." We sat again, and stretched out our short laden legs into the sun. I though for a moment before speaking.
"Well, I think I was 16. He was older, 18 or 19 maybe. My mom and his mom worked together on some committee and when they had their little meetings, she would often bring him over with her. I don't think she trusted him home alone a lot. He was known as a 'bad boy' around town." I smiled and leaned back on my hands. "Anyway, one day while our moms were talking about one event or another upstairs in the kitchen, we were watching a movie in the basement......"

I looked over at Josh to my left and I noticed that his hair was hanging in his eyes.
"Don't you ever get a haircut?" I asked with my arms crossed my breast.
"Don't you ever wear a bra?" he asked back accusingly.
"God, excusing me for living." I paused. "You can change the movie if you want."
"Nah, this is a good movie." He said picking up the DVD box. "Its about cousins who get stranded on an island and grow up there. Then, one day, they just start fucking." He smiled at my shocked expression.
"That's not a nice way to put it."
"What, don't you know what fucking is?" he asked.
"Of course, I'm not an idiot, but shouldn't it be 'making love'?"
He scoffed. "I don't think so. It's fucking. F-U-C-K-I-N-G. It's a hard dick sliding into a tight wet pussy." He looked at me to see my reaction. I didn't want to let on that the words he just spoke made my center tingle.
"God, you are so vulgar. No wonder your dad wants to send you military school." I knew that his father never mentioned this because my mother tells me everything that goes on with everybody, but I was hoping to get him mad. He was glaring at me in a weird way, and I uncrossed my legs and then crossed them again, trying to find a position to reduce the heat between them.
