This is a Docufiction (part fact part fiction)
The summer when I turned 18 was something I never experienced before. I mean it was my first time, and I will never forget it. However, it is time to move on.
After I came back from Brazil, I felt different. I wouldn't say I was confident but I felt a little more confident than before. As low as 2 seems on a scale from 1 to 10 its still higher than 1. For some reason I had decided that I would now wear boxers. I felt like I was mature, and that was a mature thing to do.
No one really cared about this, or paid attention to me. To the rest of the world, I was still the same person as before, nerdy, awkward, and a virgin. I knew, I was different and I finally didn't care if anyone else saw it. If I asked someone out and they said no it didn't bother me as much. Them saying no would not change how I felt about myself anymore.
However, there were some that went out with me just to take advantage of me. They just wanted a free meal, movie, or to be taken out. That did hurt. Not having someone to appreciate what I wanted to do for them made me upset.
Then one day while I was performing my assistant instructor duties, at the martial arts academy I trained at, in walked a blonde long-legged woman.
The head instructor walks up to her and says "It has been a while, Amelia."
She smiles and says "It has sir."
The instructor then calls me over and says "Hey come meet someone. This is Amelia, an old student of the academy. She struggled on her punches and throws, but she has a great kick."
I smiled awkwardly and said "ok, we'll see."
A couple of days later Amelia came back for a class. It was a typical Monday class. I was responsible for warming up the class and going through the basics. We then did some bag kicking. I would hold the bag so that I could see how everyone kicked and helped them. Amelia is next in line.
"Ok let's see the famous kicker in action", I say.
Amelia smiles and kicks the bag. I can tell she didn't use full power.
"Come on superstar", I say with a smile.
She kicks a little harder.
"Last chance champ, better make it count", I say.
Well, the last kick definitely counted. As she kicked the bag, I wasn't ready and it took the air out of me a little. She giggled and went to the back of the line. I groaned, but inside I was happy that she was able to kick that hard.
Before class ends, we do some sparing. It is important to do sparing at the end of the class because fights happen when you least expect and you should always be ready. The instructor paired me up with Amelia.
"You can push her but if she hits you its your fault", he says.
I knew she had a strong kick from a ready position so I was ready for that. I moved my way around her and didn't let her stand still to set up the kick. We kicked, punched, and moved around each other. After a little bit of time, I saw an opportunity to go in for a punch. I go in for the punch to end the match. As I get closer, I see Amelia quickly step back and throw a kick. At the last second the kick stops in front of my face with my punch just missing her.
"Well, I guess you can kick", I say.
After class I went up to her and said "You're going to come back, right?!"
She blushed and just walked away. After a couple of sweaty, exhausting, and sometimes bruising sparing sessions I finally asked her out.
I didn't plan our first date properly. I picked her up and took her to the movies, however by the time we got to the movies there wasn't many options left. The only options were a kid's movie or a horror movie.
I looked at her and said "Want to watch a horror movie?"
She shrugged and said "Sure."
As the movie started, she moved her hand towards my arm. She grabbed onto my arm and held it all night. There was actually no kissing during the movie. I took her home afterwards.
"I can't have anyone in my room with the door closed, but we can lay down outside and be alone", she said.
This is months after my summer trip. I had not kissed or touched a woman since then. I finally found someone that I enjoyed being with and thought something would surely happen.
We laid in the grass and started kissing. Amelia does this thing with her mouth that I call the fish face. When she kisses her mouth doesn't open much. The kiss was not exciting or sexy at all. It felt like several pop kisses together. There wasn't passion or excitement, but it was the first person that wanted to kiss me and I couldn't say no.
She looked at me after some kissing and said "Want to dry hump me?"
I was confused. I had no idea what this was or if it was even enjoyable.
"What do you want me to do", I asked.
"Lay on me and just rub on me", she says.
I laid on her and started moving up and down; with all of our clothes on. I didn't know what I was doing but apparently either my leg or my jeans made her feel good and she started making noises.
This was not exciting to me at all. I wouldn't say it was boring but the only enjoyment I got was looking at her. I felt this was a way for her to get close to having sex but never having sex. I couldn't tell if it was a tease or her just being prude.
After a couple of minutes of doing this, I said "Well I have to go."
