Marcie kicked a stone that skittered along the sidewalk and bounced off the curb into the street. She carried her damp towel over her arms, folded across her chest. Her sandy blonde hair hung loose in straggly wet strands that touched her bare shoulders. The sun was warm on her back and dried her wet bikini top slowly. Her bikini bottoms left wet marks in her cut-off shorts. Beside her, Sheila carried her towel over her shoulder. Her dark hair was pulled back in a ponytail. Her wet bikini was drying, too, but she wasn't wearing cut-off shorts over the bottoms.
"So what'd you do last night?" Sheila said.
Marcie shrugged. "Not much, just watched tv. What'd you do?"
"I went over to see Philip last night. We got in so much trouble."
"What happened?" Marcie said.
"We were like, making out on his bed in his room and he wanted to have sex with me, but I couldn't because I was like, having my period and everything, and he didn't have a condom and that was like, such a drag."
"What'd you do?"
Sheila chuckled. "He said he had to get his rocks off because his balls hurt, so he took out his dick and asked me to jerk him off."
"Did you?" Marcie said, staring at her friend with wide eyes.
"Are you crazy? Of course I did. I'm not gonna turn a guy down when he shows me his dick."
"How'd you get in trouble?" Marcie said.
"His Dad busted us. He was so pissed."
"Oh my God."
"He said he was taking me home like right now and he grounded Philip for like, the rest of his life. And get this, when we were in his car he asks me what we were doing."
"No way. What'd you tell him?"
Sheila shrugged as if it was nothing.
"I told him I was jerking him off, what do you think, and he's like, you were jerking my son off, what are you, some kind of slut, so I'm like, I'm no slut, he wanted it. So he like, pulls the car over and says why don't you jerk me off? And I'm like, whip it out dude, and I will, so he like, whips out his thing, right in front of me."
Marcie's mouth hung open. "What'd you do?"
"I jerked him off, what do you think?"
Marcie covered her mouth and laughed. "Oh my God. You jerked off Philip's Dad in his car?"
"Yeah, and we were like, right in front of the school, too," Sheila said with a grin.
"Was he like, really big?"
Sheila shrugged. "Not much bigger than Philip."
"Oh."
"Why, were you hoping his dick was like, real fat and long?"
"I guess," Marcie said.
Sheila sighed. "Yeah, I guess me, too."
They walked on quietly for a bit, passing some of the shops on Fort Street. When they walked past the bike shop, a couple of guys inside stopped to stare at them. Marcie grinned but didn't look back. Something about the town was different, now that she and Sheila were eighteen and high school was done. It was going to be strange to go to college at the end of summer.
"You know what happened next? Philip's Dad told me my hand wasn't enough. He wanted me to blow him," Sheila said.
"Did you?"
"Yeah. What else was I gonna do? I needed a ride home. Besides, he's kinda cute."
"Was it gross, I mean, putting his thing in your mouth?" Marcie said, wrinkling her nose.
Sheila shook her head. "Not really. It felt kinda cool, actually, the way it rubbed on my tongue. My jaw got sore. But then he shot his wad in my mouth and that was really gross, I mean really gross. I just rolled down the window and spit it out."
"Yeah, that would be gross," Marcie said, but in her belly she felt a pang of envy. She remembered the one time she jerked off Dean in the bathroom at McDonald's after the senior prom. He wanted to have sex with her then, and she said no. Instead, she rubbed him until his stuff spilled over her hand. She wished she had let him shoot his wad in her mouth.
"Are you gonna be pregnant now?" Marcie said.
Sheila stopped suddenly and grabbed Marcie's arm. "Oh my God, I hope not. I don't what I'd do if I got pregnant. My Mom would kill me. If I do, though, I think it'll be with Philip's Dad. I hope he gives me a ride home in his car again. Next time I wanna do more than just blow him. I'm gonna let him fuck me. I don't care if I get pregnant. It'll be worth it."
