It was a beautiful, sunny day, with the temperature around 78 degrees - perfect for my combination birthday / graduation party on our patio. I turned 18 one week before graduation, so my mom and dad invited a few people to help me celebrate both. My two aunts and uncles were there, along with my four cousins, whom I really liked. My two best friends were there, as were a couple of neighbors who knew me since I was born. My dad rented a giant grill and was cooking hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken breasts.
About a half hour after everyone was there, someone walked up behind me, wrapped their arms around my shoulders, and pulled me hard against them.
"Look at how big my boyfriend has gotten!" I heard, and a huge smile immediately crossed my face.
I turned around, and there was Ashley, looking as hot as ever. A beautiful face, blond hair that went half-way down her back, sparkling blue eyes that looked even better with subtle makeup, and a nice chest - I suppose a small C cup. She returned my smile and gave me another hug, smashing those incredible breasts against me. I started to get hard, but I didn't think she could feel it.
Ashley was six years older than I; she used to be my babysitter. I think she must have started sitting when I was eight. She was my favorite babysitter. She played games with me, she taught me - or, I suppose I should say she TRIED to teach me - how to dance, she'd play video games with me, and she'd read me stories at night after I was in bed. I remember the time I asked her if she'd be my girlfriend. She laughed and said she'd LOVE to be my girlfriend.
Ashley lived three houses away, so I'd see her all the time. Even when I was twelve and no longer needed babysitters, I'd still see her walking to or from a car. And by the time I was twelve, I knew she was gorgeous. She lived at home her first two years of college, and my friends would make fun of me - though I'm sure it was jealousy - if we saw her and she said hi to me. But I hadn't seen her in a couple of years - she had gotten a job in New York.
"ASHLEY! How nice to see you!"
"It's good to see you, too, Patrick. You look great!" she replied.
"Thanks. What brings you back home?"
"I just came back for your birthday party," she said.
I laughed loudly.
"Yeah, I'm sure this party is WAY more exciting than that dinky city you live in - what's it called? New Pork?"
Now Ashley laughed.
"Okay, MAYBE I came home to watch the dogs while my parents are out of town. But your party was
almost
as important."
"I wondered why your parents weren't here," I said, since my parents were close with hers and I obviously knew her parents pretty well.
"Yeah, they left to go visit my sister in Texas," she said.
We talked for a while, and then I returned to my friends.
"Holy shit, Patrick, she got even more beautiful!" one of them said.
I turned to look at her again; he was right. She really did look great. I knew what I'd be thinking about later that night when I crawled into bed.
When the party started to break up, everyone gave me a hug and wished me happy birthday again. When Ashley hugged me, she pulled me hard against her.
"Promise to stop by to chat while I'm here this week?" she asked.
"Of course!" I said excitedly.
Later that night, I thanked my parents for the party. It was a great way to celebrate turning 18 and officially being in college.
Monday morning, I slept in. I wasn't starting my summer job as a lifeguard for another week, and I had no specific plans. Once I finally crawled out of bed, I went for a run. When I put in my earbuds and play music when I'm running, I lose track of time. It allows me to go further distances without getting bored. I try to always run a different route, again, to break the boredom. It was hotter than the previous day, and I was really soaked with sweat by the time I got home.
After showering and eating a turkey sandwich for lunch, I went online to figure out which classes I wanted to take my first semester at school. I was going to orientation in June, and I wanted to be prepared. I planned to go into business, so I had to make sure I took the right classes to transfer to the business school.
The next day, I followed a similar pattern: slept in, ran, showered, and ate lunch. In the afternoon, I sat outside on the patio listening to music on my phone and catching up on my favorite web streams.
Sometime around 4:00, my phone buzzed. It was a message from Ashley.
Ashley: I'm done with work for the day. Want to stop by to talk?
Me: Sure! I'll be over in about tern minutes.
I was surprised - but excited - that Ahsley even contacted me. I guess she was already bored being back in our small town. I finished investigating a couple of potential classes and then headed over to her house. I rang the bell and waited. After just a bit, Ashley opened the door. She looked great, wearing a red halter top and navy shorts.
"Hi, Patrick! I'm glad you could come over. Work sucked today, and I need to get it out of my mind. Come on in."
"Hi, Ashley. I'm glad you texted."
She gave me her usual tight hug, and when I put my hands around her and felt her bare back, I definitely got a little excited. Ashley held the hug longer than she did yesterday, and I hoped she didn't notice I got a little hard. She broke the hug and told me to come in. We walked into the living room, where I sat on the couch and she sat on a chair across from me.
"So, why was work so bad?" I asked.
"Jesus, People can be really stupid sometimes. I was following up with people who promised they'd complete stuff by now, and half of them hadn't even started their tasks. It's really frustrating. But I don't want to talk about that. Are you excited about going to college?"
"I am. I'm a little nervous, but excited."
"What are you nervous about?" she asked.
"I don't know. I won't know anyone. I haven't had to make new friends in a long time."
"Don't worry, Patrick, you'll do great. Everyone likes you."
I smiled.
"How come there were no girlfriends at your party?" she asked.
"Gee, Ashley, I've never had a girlfriend. I'm not really comfortable talking to girls," I replied, a little embarrassed we were talking about this.
"What do you mean?" she replied, "you never had trouble talking to me. Did you know I'm a girl?"
I burst out laughing.
