THIS IS PART FOUR OF AN ONGOING STORY
Nine days had passed since my friend Tara had introduced me to the world of prostate stimulation and the amazing things that a woman can do with strong vaginal walls. Since then I hadnât seen my friend Erin at all â she said she was working on a project for school, but Tara had called me and told me that she had gotten the information about vaginal strength to Erin and that she was quite certain that that was what she was working on. The fact of the matter was, I hadnât gotten laid since I had seen Tara. However, if these exercises worked out for Erin, then the wait was going to be more than worth it.
It was Saturday, November 20th â the day before my twenty-third birthday. I was bored as all hell. Fresno State football wasnât going to the playoffs â AGAIN â so marching band was over for the year. Most of my friends were out of town. Erin was âworking on her project.â I didnât feel like watching any of my movies, and as is usually the case, there were 137 channels and nothing on.
So I was sitting in my dorm room, just feeling sorry for myself, when I heard a knock on my door. I opened it to a very unexpected person.
My friend Kat is a good five years younger than me. She was originally a friend of my sisterâs when I was growing up in Pasadena, but after we worked a summer together at a camp in southern California, we had gotten to be very good friends. She was in her senior year of high school, and if my memory served, her 18th birthday had been a mere two days earlier.
Quite surprised, I said, âKat! Well, this is an unexpected pleasure!â
Kat smiled and said, âWell, I was bored, and I knew that tomorrow was your birthday, so I figured Iâd drive up here and deliver your birthday present myself.â She had a large Macyâs bag with her, so I figured that must be it â although I couldnât for a moment imagine what the hell she might have bought me at Macyâs. I hate Macyâs, for goodnessâ sake.
âWell, that was certainly sweet of you,â I replied. âStill, thatâs a good four hours drive up here from Pasadena!â
âThat should give you an indicator of how bored I was,â she laughed. âEven being as close to L.A. as Pasadena is, itâs still boring as hell on the weekends. Besides that, my parents are really getting on my nerves, and so I decided to exercise my new-found adulthood and get the hell out of town for a few hours.â
A few hours? I looked over at my clock â 2:00 PM. âKat, a few hours? You couldnât have left any later than 10:00 this morning, and even if you left RIGHT NOW, which I very much doubt youâre going to do, you wouldnât get back until 6:00!â
Kat laughed again, but it rang hollow. âTrust me, I donât want to be at home right now.â
Uh-oh, that did not sound good. âWhatâs wrong?â I asked.
I thought she was going to start crying as she started explaining. âMy older brotherâs getting divorced, and heâs constantly fighting with my parents about it. No matter when Iâm home, one of them is on the phone yelling at him. Then, if theyâre not yelling at him, theyâre sitting around the house crying. My dad hasnât given a decent sermon in almost a month, and Iâm afraid that my brotherâs just going to wreck my parentsâ mental health.â
I was completely taken aback. Katâs father, a pastor in Pasadena, had always been one of the most stable people I knew, and here she was telling me that he was yelling at people, crying when he wasnât, and delivering crappy sermons. What was going on?
I couldnât think of anything to say, so I reached out to her and embraced her. At that point, she simply broke down, with huge sobs coming out one right after the other. I knew there wasnât anything else I could do, so I just held her and let her cry.
After a few minutes, she stopped crying. Pulling away, she dried her eyes. âIâm so sorry,â she said. âI came up here to give you a birthday present, and here I am crying on your shoulder.â
âNo, no, thatâs okay,â I quickly replied. âIf Iâm going to actually be a psychiatrist one day, it doesnât hurt to get some practical experience beforehand. Besides, most of my friends rely on me to be a shoulder to cry on, so I wouldnât want you to think any differently.â
âThank you,â she said. âThat really means a lot to me.â
Taking a deep breath, she composed herself, and it seemed that her demeanor brightened almost immediately. âOkay,â she said. âIf youâll give me a moment, Iâll go get your birthday present ready for you.â
She had to get it ready for me? âUh, okay,â I said. âWhatever you need to do.â
With that, she picked up the Macyâs bag, strolled into my bedroom and shut the door behind her. I turned the TV on, and just for kicks, tried Comedy Central. Fortune of good fortune, The Daily Show was on â by far my favorite show on television! When I turned it on, Lewis Black was on, lambasting Britney Spears, as Jon Stewart looked on, doing his best to keep from laughing.
Lewis Black was about to reach his final scathing point when I heard a click. Turning, I saw Kat walk out of my bedroom â wearing nothing but a sheer black teddy. Now, Kat is extremely attractive, with a 36C chest, and her measurements coming in at the classic 36-24-36, but the only thing that was running through my mind wasâŠ
What the hell was this?
âWhat⊠what are you doing?â I asked, extremely confused.
âWell,â said Kat, seemingly unsure as to what to say. âI guess⊠this is your birthday present. Me. My virginity.â
What? Wait a second.
âNow, just wait,â I replied. âI canât do that. I mean, you came here, completely emotionally disturbed⊠youâre a virgin⊠youâre 18⊠I canât do this. I feel like I would be completely taking advantage of you.â
âNo, you donât understand,â she said. âYouâre not the only person getting this birthday present. You can consider it your birthday present to me as well. After all, my birthday WAS just two days ago.â
I considered that, but still⊠âI donât know,â I said. âIt just doesnât feel right. It still feels like Iâm taking advantage of you.â
She walked around my chair and stood right in front of me. A fire that I had not seen before was blazing in her eyes. âLet me put it to you this way, then, Jason Garrett. I WANT it. I came for something, and Iâm not leaving without it.â
Shit. Now what was I supposed to do?
