I've had a "thing" for the girl next door for as long as I can remember. Ever since Elise and her family moved in next door I thought she was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. She's also the sweetest, funniest, smartest, and the sexiest girl I've ever known. We've always been best friends and only recently has that friendship grown into something more. From my perspective, it's like I've been given the greatest gift I could possibly imagine. I've got the girl of my dreams, and she's got me.
Elise and I have been "dating" since the start of our Senior Year and neither of the two of us has had any kind of love relationship before (by the way, my definition of "dating" really comes from when our first kiss took place). I think part of the reason we never had a love relationship before is because like I started to say, she and I were always best friends, and we were always together, so there was really no room for anyone else. One other major contributing factor for us not having other girlfriends or boyfriends is that we live pretty far from anyone else, so for just logistical reasons, neither of us had anyone to play with or hang out with while we grew up OTHER than each other.
That having been said, school has now come down to the closing few weeks and the excitement about graduation is amongst us. I guess with the spring also comes a whole feeling of being free, loving the outdoors, and there certainly has been a lot of sexual tension in our lives recently to add to all the rest of the activity that's going on. As a graduation present, my parents gave me a Honda Element two weeks ago (they were going to wait until graduation day, but my car blew up so they decided to go ahead and do it). The reason I tell you about the Element is not to brag about getting a new car (it's not actually new, just new to me), but to bring into the picture another important part of the scenario. In case you don't know, a Honda Element is a real utilitarian kinda car/suv and it has seats that fold down to make beds, and it's the perfect campout vehicle. It's even sold for that and comes with a curtain that you put up over all the windows to keep people from looking in on you while you sleep...etc. Cool...huh?
So anyway, Elise and I have a bunch of school friends and we are all planning on going camping down by the Tennessee River at this one particular place a bunch of us hang out at on the weekends. We all have a campfire and this weekend we found someone to get us several cases of beer, so we're set for a good night of drinking and just generally partying. Well Elise is dragging her ass getting ready to go and I've been chomping at the bit all week for this! It's finally Friday night at around 7:30 and she's packed up and heads over to her friend Jennifer's (Jenn's) house to meet up with her and they're going to take off from Jenn's house and come down to the river in Jenn's Mom's minivan. Elise told her parents that she was spending the night with Jenn and Jenn told her folks she was staying with Elise, so it's all cool.
I go to the river with my boy James (Jenn's boyfriend) at about 6 pm and we set up the Element in a very level place near enough to everyone to still be with the group, but far enough away, so that we're not "up in everybody's business". I put the curtains up and I am ready for business. Elise arrives with Jenn at about 8:10 and I've already had a couple of beers. I get the two girls a beer and we (about 6 or 7 couples and a couple of singles) sit around the campfire and drink, talk junk, and laugh our asses off until about midnight.
By that time no one is tired, but all the couples are pairing off and going to their respective tents, cars, etc. and a few single guys are left at the fire and I finally convince Elise to head to the Element. Well we get in the car and we get comfortable. I take off my shirt and shoes and Elise gets out of her jeans, bra, shirt and shoes, and puts on some sleep pants and a t-shirt. We have the back seats stretched out into a bed and we both lay down and start hugging and kissing, looking up at the full moonlight through the sunroof.
