This is a story about a woman that I will always remember with gratitude and lust even when I am too old to do anything about it. Jenny was a young girl, my own age that lived several houses down the block. Jenny was what I would now call an “athletic” girl, not really a “tom-boy”. She played baseball and soccer on my little league teams since I was six years old, and certainly was as good as most of the boys on the team. She was also very pretty, but was feminine enough that you knew that she was more than “one of the guys”.
Jenny was also my friend, but not so close that we spent too much time together. Because of the convenience of location, she would sometimes practice soccer or throw the baseball with me. She was also a good swimmer at the local community pool where we were both members.
Jenny and I went to the same school, and sometimes we would walk home together. I really enjoyed her company, but at that age we still couldn’t be too close without being subjected to a tough time from our peers. Well, time has a tendency to progress, and we both started to mature. I really noticed some major changes had developed when we went to the swimming pool for swim team practice. Jenny had developed tits, and such a delicious looking figure that I couldn’t help but gawk.
The summer before our senior year in high school, things really began to change. The hormones were definitely flowing in both of us, and I was also sporting a bigger bulge in my swimsuit. She had the same natural beauty that she had when she was little, but now had the sex appeal of a young but maturing woman.
Jenny would have her eighteenth birthday in a few days, and we had gone from “kids” to the “seniors” of the school. Our birthdays were only days apart and it was not unusual for us to celebrate our birthdays together. I guess we had done something together on our birthdays for so many years that in fact it had almost become a ritual. Now, number eighteen was only days in the future.
Jenny and I had been friends for over twelve years and really knew each other better than average, but now the circumstances were changing dramatically. I really thought that Jenny considered me the “nice nerd kid” that lived down the block. To be honest, I always had a crush on Jenny, but thought that she was probably too good to ever be interested in me. In the past year though, the reality was that I also had changed. I had grown to be almost six feet and actually had to shave – at least every few days.
As our birthdays approached, I happened to see her after swim practice. I was having trouble keeping my eyes off of her magnificent figure when I finally realized that she was talking to me. I had to concentrate to avoid staring at her chest while she began to explain to me that she was hosting a small “girls only” party this year to celebrate her birthday. She did mention that she hated to break our tradition of celebrating together however, and hoped that maybe we could do something together around my birthday to keep up the tradition. To be honest, I was thrilled that she would remember, but didn’t really expect anything to happen.
My eighteenth birthday happened to be two days before school started for our senior year. I was really just planning to have pizza with my family and a few boring friends from the swim team. Maybe we would even go out for a movie afterwards. The evening before my birthday however, the doorbell rang and I was surprised to find Jenny outside carrying several presents. She said that if I was not busy, she would like to go for a walk with me and give me a present. She also brought a small cake that she had baked herself.
I could hardly take my eyes off of Jenny. Her beautiful dark blond hair hung down on a tight white tank top, framing some exquisite rounded breasts. I opened the rectangular gift that she presented to me and found a framed photograph showing the two of us together as young children playing in the mud. The image caught the innocence and joy of youth. It was definitely a unique gift that could not be equaled. After I put the presents inside the house, we walked together a couple of blocks to the park where we had spent so many hours together over the years.
Twilight had come, and we talked about our many fun memories from the distant past. The first slight chill of autumn had filled the air, and while I tried not to stare, Jenny’s nipples were tenting the fabric of her shirt forward. I don’t quite know quite what came over me next. Somehow, I had the nerve to lean forward and give Jenny a kiss. I almost felt dizzy when her lips met mine, and her soft breasts nestled against my chest.
“That was really nice," she said.
I can’t believe it, but I admitted that it was the first time that I had really kissed a girl. Jenny simply smiled at me and told me that she was pleased that she could be the one. A minute later, Jenny kissed me again, but during our kiss she took my right hand and guided it under her shirt to her left breast. She was not wearing a bra, and it was my first opportunity to feel the unique softness of a woman’s breast and her erect nipple. I almost felt weak at the knees. My face must have flushed and we both knew there was an obvious pressure in the front of my pants. I was really embarrassed, I am also sure that Jenny felt the pressure exerted between us.
“Happy Birthday," Jenny said as she smiled and gradually began to lead me back toward my house. I know my heart was pounding as I felt a sensation like none I had ever felt before deep in my soul. I don’t think I will ever quite forget that birthday present.
Soon school started and life quickly returned to the usual routine. Jenny and I were both very busy once the activities of school began. While I certainly would have liked to have spent more time with Jenny, I realized that it just wasn’t practical, nor did I seem the type to fit in with her usual friends.
The next two months flew by. I would occasionally see Jenny in the halls after classes. She was always very friendly and occasionally would give me a hug. As I mentioned before, she was exceptionally beautiful, not to mention very popular at the school. Jenny was elected a varsity cheerleader, but despite her numerous commitments, she maintained a very good academic average. While I did well (particularly in swimming), I was far from being someone that most people would consider exceedingly popular. To be honest, I did not think that I was in a league to be taking her out. I pretty much just hung out with some boring guys from the swimming team, and occasionally would go with friends to the movies.
