As the end of October came, things were going pretty good. Hell, better than good. They were great. Becky and I had gone out on a few dozen dates, but were taking things real slow. Which meant that we hadn't even kissed yet. Meanwhile, I spent a lot of time locked out of my room because Jake and Lisa were going at it like rabbits after being dosed with some super powered sex drug.
But I wasn't bitter or jealous of them. Becky and I were getting along great. She and I were connecting on a level I never knew existed. Granted, the only other relationship I had was the five and a half months I had with my ex in high school. That still didn't change the way I felt when I was with Becky.
"ARGH," Becky said one night while we were working in my room. I was writing a paper for one of my classes while she was studying for an upcoming test she had.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing," she said, slamming her astronomy book closed. "Just getting a bit of a brain overload from all this studying."
"Aw, my poor baby," I said, to which she grabbed my pillow and hit me with it. "Hey."
"Serves you right," she said with a little smile. God, I loved that smile.
"Sit down there," I said, pointing at the floor. She eyed me for a moment, and then moved down to the floor. "Turn around and lean back against the bed." She did. I then sat behind her on the bed and started to rub the side of her head with a couple fingers in small circles.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"Trying to help your headache," I said. "Just relax."
I felt Becky relax a little, but not all the way. I continued to rub her head to alleviate her headache, and after a few minutes, she was sighing in content.
"Oh, that feels so much better," she said. "Marc, can I ask you a favor?"
"Anything," I said.
"Anything?" she questioned.
I thought for a moment on that. "Well,' I said after nearly a minute of silence. "Almost anything."
"Can you rub my neck and shoulders," Becky said. "I'm feeling kind of tense."
Slowly, I moved my hands down from the sides of her head and onto her shoulders. As I worked out the tension in her shoulder and neck muscles, Becky let out little moans as she really started to relax.
"God, your hands are like magic," Becky purred.
I really didn't know what to say to that. So I didn't say anything and just smiled to myself as I continued. This went on for another fifteen minutes when Jake and Lisa came in, talking and laughing. Becky quickly jumped up and sat down on the bed next to me.
"Okay," Lisa said. "I saw that. What were you two up to in here?" She had said it in a way that made me think of two kids getting caught by one of their parents.
"Nothing," Becky quickly answered. "I... I got to go. See you tomorrow Marc." She grabbed her books and ran out of the room.
"That was weird," Jake said as he and Lisa sat on her bed, entwining their legs together and her resting her head on his shoulder.
"We didn't interrupt anything special, did we?" Lisa asked.
"No," I said. "She just had a headache and was a bit stressed from studying, so I gave her a little neck massage to help her relax."
"Oh," Jake said.
"Yeah," said Lisa. "For a moment there I thought we walked in on you about to get a blowjob or something."
"Nope," I said. "Nothing like that. Just a neck rub."
"So you guys still haven't done it yet," Jake said.
"We're not in any rush," I said.
