"I want to get laid," I told Cathy. Cathy is my best friend and I was visiting with her for the weekend. Right now she was looking at me as if I wasn't quite sane.
"OOOKKK," she said slowly. "And you're telling me this because. . .?"
"Because you are going to help me," I said.
Now Cathy was looking as though she was convinced I was mad.
"Why do you need my help? You've turned eighteen. You're free to go and get laid anytime you like. Just let any of the boys around here know and they'll be lining up ready to help you."
"That's part of the problem. I'm eighteen and still a virgin and at times I feel I'm a rabbit with a few dozen wolves in close pursuit. I need to pick someone who can make me an ex-virgin but do it with some style."
"I thought you already had. You seemed remarkably friendly with Peter up until your eighteenth. What happened then? You seemed to break up with him awfully fast."
"Would you believe that his idea of finesse was to send me a text message on my birthday saying 'You're eighteen now. We can spend the night fucking. You'll like it.' I mean, there wasn't even a suggestion that we'd have sex on my birthday before that and then here he was demanding I go to bed with him."
"Suzy, do you think you may have over-reacted? He might have just been teasing you, you know."
"Cathy, dear, he came around, and as soon as we were alone he tried to jump me. He was literally trying to tear my panties off. I fought him off and he got offended. Told me to put out or get out. I pointed out that we were at my house and suggested that he should be the one to get out, and he did."
Cathy laughed and I gave her an evil look.
"It's not really funny. I get the impression at times that men I meet are looking at me and wondering how they can drag me off somewhere private. It's irritating, and what's worse is that I do want to get laid. I just want my first time to be something to remember rather than something I want to forget."
"OK. So I assume that you've come with an evil plan that will get you de-virginated the way you want it to happen?"
"Apart from the fact that there's no such word as de-virginated, yes, I have. Part One is my staying here this weekend."
"Then Part One is a success. What is Part Two and how do I get involved?"
"Part Two is arranging for either Simon to accidentally catch me naked or for me to accidentally catch Simon naked. Then we can let nature take its course. You can help me work out a way to do that."
"Simon? My brother, Simon? You want him to be your first? Eww. That's gross."
"Cathy, look at your brother as a woman, not as a sister. He's a hunk. He's also polite and considerate and a generally nice man. He'd be fantastic as a first time experience. For almost anyone but you, that is."
"So he's a nice, polite, considerate hunk, who just happens to have a steady girlfriend who I am quite sure is getting experiences from him on what is probably a daily basis. Why will he want to jump you? No offence, but he is a nice guy. I don't think he'll cheat on his girlfriend."
"Maybe not, but if we can arrange for him to walk in on me when I'm naked in the bathroom, or if I can walk in on him, things could get interesting."
I giggled as a thought struck me.
"Even if I can't manage to seduce him, I'll have had the fun of flashing myself before an attractive male. If nothing else, it'll make him remember me."
Cathy giggled in reply.
"All right," she said. "Let's see what we can do. He probably wakes up with what the boys call a morning wood, so when he goes to have his shower will be the best time."
We settled down to work out a few details, but I was quite happy about the way things were going. With any sort of luck I was finally going to get laid.
I should have guessed that something would go wrong with my plans. They never seem to work out the way I expect. What happened this time was this. It was getting late and around eleven we decided to go to bed. Cathy said good night and went to her room and I headed off to the guestroom that I use.
Before I could close the door I had an interruption.
"Excuse me, Suzy, but could I see you for a minute before you go to bed?"
It was Andrew, Cathy's dad. A bit of a stickler. He wouldn't dream of being alone in my bedroom with me. What would people think?
"If you could just step into my office for a moment," he said, indicating the door on the other side of the hallway.
Seeing he was officially my host I decided that I'd better see what he wanted. I walked into his 'office', slightly surprised to find it was actually his bedroom.
"I call it my office," he drawled, "as it's the only place I can get any privacy to do a little work. Take a seat."
The only place to sit was the bed, so that's where I sat, hands folded in my lap and a demure look on my face and curiosity inside. What did he want?
Andrew looked at me thoughtfully for a moment. Then he broke the news.
"I have some bad news and some good news for you," he started. "First the bad news. I overheard you discussing your little plan with Cathy this morning and I'm afraid that I just can't allow it to proceed."
What was he talking about, I wondered. What plan. The only thing I'd really discussed with Cathy was. . . Oh my god. I could feel my face turning red.
"It's not that I object to Simon having a chance to get laid but I don't think it's really fair to be putting temptation in his way right now. He is really quite serious about his current girlfriend and he doesn't need you complicating the situation. I'm sure you understand."
I nodded, saying nothing. God I was embarrassed. All I wanted to do right now was get out of the room and hide. Hopefully somewhere that would allow me to avoid Andrew for the next hundred years.
'OK. Now the good news," Andrew continued. "I've been considering your little problem and I've come up with what I think you'll find is a workable solution."
My problem. I would have to guess that he was referring to my problem of wanting to get laid. My face felt hotter than ever. I was probably blushing all the way to my toes. How could he possibly think I'd want to discuss something like that with him? Or any man?
"I decided that, as I'm ruining your plan, it's up to me to make amends."
Colour me puzzled. Make amends how? I was given a clue pretty damn fast. Andrew took a step closer, put his hands on my shoulders and gently pushed me back until I was lying on the bed. Before I could say 'what the hell' he'd transferred his hands to my waist and was tugging my yoga pants down. Now I did say what the hell, or words to that effect.
"What the hell do you think you're doing," I squeaked. And I mean squeaked. The surprise had almost made me lose my voice.
"I'm taking down your tights, or whatever you call them these days," Andrew calmly said.
"They're yoga pants and why are you pulling them down?"
He wasn't mucking around, either. Even while I was asking what the hell I was watching them slide down, leaving my legs bare.
"Because if I'm going to take Simon's place I'll need to undress you, now won't I?"
I'm sure my eyes must have been popping. What the hell did he mean, take Simon's place? Surely he didn't think I was going to let him have sex with me? Then I saw my panties were going the same way as my yoga pants and I realised that he thought just that.
I was so shocked by this stage that all I did was watch as my panties went down and off, leaving me half naked. Half naked and lying on a man's bed. A man who'd just suggested that he was going to have sex with me. I hurriedly sat up, hands in my lap. Protective, this time, rather than demure. I defy anyone to look demure when a man's just peeled off their panties.
I should have stayed lying down. Sitting up just made it easier for Andrew to start pulling my top up. "Arms up", he said and I just mindlessly obeyed, and my top was history.
"Bra" he said, and I found myself reaching back and unhooking it.
