"Oh. My. God." Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped before her mouth curved into a mischievous grin. "It's so small!" She burst into laughter. "Let me see you stroke it."
With puckered lips she held up her pinky finger and in a voice one might use with a small child or a pet, she playfully taunted, "Stroke your teeny weeny like this!"
Using only her index finger and thumb she mockingly stroked her pinky.
"I can't believe how turned on you are! What a pathetic little bitch. I've never seen one so fucking small."
Abruptly I slammed his laptop shut.
"Holy Shit" I whispered under my breath.

Swish. The buzzer was almost hard to make out over the noise of the crowd. The student section rushed the court after I hit the winning shot. In that moment I was the big man on campus. But as great as it was, deep down I was bummed that Ella wasn't there. After celebrating, a local news interview, and showering off I walked back out into the gym.
"Nice work out there buddy!" Kelly beamed with pride as she gave me a hug. "I'm so proud of you!" She said.
When my parents passed away Kelly took me in. I was thirteen when it happened and she really stepped up to the plate becoming the new mother figure in my life.
She's not technically related, but she was my Mom's best friend. They loved the phrase, "friends are the family you choose" and my Mom had asked her to be my godmother.
"I'm gonna miss all this next year!" She said as we walked to the parking lot. I recently turned 18 and she's been sentimental ever since. "Im gonna visit you at college whether you like it or not!" She said making me laugh.
"Hey, where's Ella? I didn't see her tonight but she's welcome to come over if you want!"
Our seat belts clicked and I turned the ignition.
"Um..." I said uncomfortably. "We broke up."
"Oh my goodness!" Kelly said. "I'm so sorry.
But tonight let's just enjoy the win okay? Maybe you can tell me about it soon?"
I was thankful Kelly didn't push but I also looked forward to venting to her about it later. I've always felt comfortable venting to Kelly and enjoy having someone I trust to confide in.

The smell of bacon filled the house when I made my way out of my room the next morning.
Kelly always makes bacon and crapes for breakfast after game days.
"So ya wanna talk about it or no?" She said setting my plate down on the table.
"Yeah I guess" I said picking up my fork.
"I broke up with her Thursday after school."
"I thought you seemed a little off" Kelly said.
"I figured you were probably just stressed about the big game. How come you broke it off?"
I took a big bite to buy myself some time to figure out how I was going to answer. By the time I swallowed I decided to just be honest.
"Well, Ella was wanting to take our relationship to the next level and I just didn't really feel good about it." I said.
"What do you mean, 'take it to the next level'?" Kelly said with a quizzical look on her face all of a sudden. When I hesitated Kelly jumped back in before I could answer. "Like sex?" She asked.
I blushed and again Kelly spoke before I could think of a response.
"Holy shit Mike I figured you two had been doing it all along!"
"No we never did" I said bashfully. Kelly looked stunned. "Wow" she said. "Why not?"
"Well she wanted to. And so did I but... I guess I just wasn't comfortable with it."
Kelly leaned forward to ask me a question. "Mike, are you a virgin?"
Once more, my cheeks turned red giving her an answer before my words could. "Really?" She asked having taken my blush as an answer. I nodded yes confirming her assumption.
"I mean that's great Mike, good for you! I'm just surprised that's all." She said taking a sip of her coffee. "I mean I know you're interested in girls." She said setting her coffee cup down. "You've been known to spend a suspicious amount of time in the bathroom ever since you hit puberty!" She said with a smile that crinkled up her nose. "Kelly!" I said slapping the table. She laughed and quickly apologized.
"Seriously though Mike, if you want to wait that's great. But you said you're uncomfortable? I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from. You seemed to really like Ella and she clearly adores you. Not to mention I'm pretty sure any girl in this town would be thrilled to drop their panties for you. You're tall, handsome, smart, sweet... not to mention your full ride scholarship to play basketball!"
Her candor made me feel both uncomfortable and horny at the same time.
I pushed the food around my plate with a fork not knowing what to say. Kelly waited patiently for me to reply. "I guess I'm just a little insecure." I said.
She quickly responded,
