Turned out my last thought had proven correct: Stephanie kept our little dalliance a secret from everyone, even her BFF, Elizabeth. Was it shame? Or was she just concerned about upsetting the apple cart? In any case, much as I wanted us to, Steph and I didn't have the lust-filled reunion I had hoped for after I got out of the hospital. It drove me
nuts
.
We had been so completely comfortable with each other for so long, it was a shock to see the anxiety on Stephanie's face when I returned to school. The other girls even noticed something was up with her, but she just made something up about being nervous for an upcoming test. The whole situation was starting to freak me out.
Worst of all, there was nobody I could talk to. If Stephanie hadn't told the others about what happened, that meant she didn't want them to know -- and I wasn't about to break her trust.
Listen, I know what you're thinking:
"Why didn't you just text her?"
Well, kiddies, this all happened in an ancient, long ago time called the "nineties," and back then nobody but drug lords and stock brokers had cell phones.
When I got home, I did my best to focus on all my makeup work, but it was hard to think about anything else than Stephanie. I was so hungry to play around with her beautiful naked body, I thought I was gonna have an aneurism--but at the same time I was desperate to fix a problem I feared could ruin the perfect group dynamic between my friends and I.
I phoned Steph after my family had gone to bed, but the call went to the answering machine, and I couldn't exactly leave a midnight message of "Hey, Steph, it's Ian. When you get this, could you call me back so we can discuss that time we fooled around after you illegally broke into my hospital room?" I hung up and suffered through another unsuccessful night of attempted sleep.
The next day, I took out my frustrations with exercise, putting everything I had into my after-school run with Amy. I was punishing myself to the limit, especially considering how recently I had been let out of the hospital. Amy didn't say anything, she just upped her own pace to match mine and we ran in silence.
I was a mess of feelings. Fears about my friendship with Steph, insecurities about my first sexual experience, and an unrelenting, unbearable state of arousal. Every time I stopped to think, my head overloaded with memories of Stephanie. Her orgasmic moans, her soft fingers on my hardness, her buttocks in my hands...
At the end of our runs, Amy and I would race to the finish. Without fail, I would always fall behind my beautiful friend. No matter how hard I tried, Amy was always the better athlete and she would always outrun me.
That race started like any other. Amy pulled ahead of me, as always. And my eyes locked onto the incredibly toned ass in those tight cotton shorts, as always. I had fantasized about that ass constantly for the better part of a year, but on that day I was so frustrated, so insecure, so goddamn horny that I couldn't stand it. I was filled with the sudden impulse to tackle Amy to the grass and tear those shorts off with my bare hands. I wanted to hold her down and bury my face between her legs, licking and teasing her into a state of absolute bliss while my hands grabbed onto the amazing ass she had tormented me with for so long.
She would scream in pleasure, begging me to make her cum, oblivious to all the other people gathered around, watching in stunned surprise. She'd slide her hands up under her sports bra and aggressively tug at her own nipples in an attempt to bring herself to the orgasm I denied her. She would shout out every known obscenity, bucking her hips against my face, slathering my cheeks with her hot juices. Her red hair would toss back and forth like wild fire--
FUCK! She's your friend! You're JUST friends! What is wrong with you, Ian? Why does everything have to be about sex?
I ran as hard as I could. Ran until I was cold and my legs felt numb. For the first time, I actually outran Amy; put her behind me just so I wouldn't have to see her ass anymore. By the time we reached the end of our run it hurt to breathe. I collapsed onto my back and let the sky above spin in my vision. Amy caught up a few seconds later, positively shocked--maybe even a little angry she lost.
"What is up with you today?" she panted, flopping to the grass beside me.
I couldn't have told her even if I wanted to. I was fighting just to get air in my lungs, so talking was out of the question. She pulled her knee up into a stretch that accentuated that goddamn motherfucking perfect ass of hers. She thought for a moment, then asked, "You got blue-balls or something? No chance to rub one out in the hospital?"
"You have no idea," I managed.
"Come on, up," Amy ordered, socking me in the shoulder, "I've got something to show you."
Amy's house was just up the block, but my legs still barely made it there after that run. Amy lived alone with her police officer dad, and he was on duty that evening, so we had the place entirely to ourselves. She led me inside her smallish bedroom, adorned with macho action movie posters, a litany of athletic trophies, and a frilly pink bed. The girl really lived the contradiction.
Amy ducked beneath her girlish bed and pulled out an old VHS of
The Little Mermaid.
"Why is that under your bed?" I asked.
"Because it's not a Disney movie," she answered naughtily. She slid the tape out of its case and I saw that it was actually labeled
Cum-Drenched Wet Fucking 5
or something. I don't remember exactly. I just remember thinking it was hilarious that the franchise was popular enough to merit a fourth sequel.
Amy pushed the tape in her VCR, explaining, "I know girls aren't supposed to be into these, but I call bullshit. My theory is it's because so many of the guys in porn are gross looking, I don't know. You just have to know what to look for."
She fast-forwarded through the opening credits until a handsome stud with a six pack walked onscreen and robotically announced to nobody in particular, "Oh crap I am late," and ran out the door.
"You see that guy?" Amy asked, "HE is the reason I stole this from my dad. I've watched this one like a thousand times. I showed it to all the other girls and they all got off watching it."
I swallowed at the implications of what she'd just said. "So, you lent it to them and they told you they liked it?" I asked.
Amy fast-forwarded through another boring part as she answered, "No, they were all here for a sleepover. We were crashing on the living room floor in our PJs and I put the tape in to prove to everyone that porn could be hot for girls too. Sure enough, everyone started getting really turned on, until Talia finally crawled under her blanket to cover up--and announced that she was so horny she was just gonna get herself off and would everybody just please not look."
