I am the exact opposite of my sister, Cheryl. Cheryl is into drinking, partying, and frankly, she dresses trashy. Plus, she's not exactly particular about who she sleeps with. More people have been in her than the Albert Hall.
I'm not into drinking or partying. In fact, I've never had a drink of alcohol in my life. I don't dress trashy the way she does; I dress sexy, but not trashy. And I'm also not promiscuous the way she is. I'm a virgin.
Cheryl is 20, and I'm 18. Cheryl has brown hair and a stout figure which stood 5'2". While I have wavy blonde hair and stand 5'7" and about 120 lbs. I'd say she and I are both pretty, but in our own ways.
We both live with our Dad. Our Mom passed away when we were both little girls. Our Dad has a full-time position as the manager of a supermarket, where he works nights. He was working that night.
The doorbell rang. I stirred in my bed and groggily lifted my head up to look at the clock. It read 3:30 a.m. Forgetting my bathrobe, I went downstairs with just my nightie on. I was not at all surprised at being woken up at this hour. I opened the door to find my drunk and half-dressed sister, along with a tall young man. She was laughing hysterically.
I put my arm around her shoulders and lead her into the house.
"Come on, let's get you inside," I said.
"I'm so glad you're home," the young man said. "She was so drunk, I got so worried about her."
"You, you're the b-best Greta," she said giggling.
"That's very flattering, but my name is Grace," I told her.
"I knew that," she replied with a burp.
"Thank you for taking her home," I said to the young man. "You can have a seat on the couch if you'd like."
"Sure, thanks," he said, and plopped on the sofa
I wrapped my arm around Cheryl's waist and lead her upstairs to her bedroom. Her words were slurred as she explained to me, in great detail, who she had slept with that night.
I helped her get into bed, and took off her jeans and shoes so she'd be more comfortable. I laid the comforter over her. She wiggled around and went into one of her coma-like slumbers. I quietly shut her door and went downstairs to the young man.
"Thanks so much for taking her home," I said, sitting beside him.
"No problem," he said. "I'm Jeff, and you are Grace?"
I nodded, "Yes, I'm Grace. Nice to meet you Jeff."
We chit-chatted about the party Cheryl and himself had been to that night. While we were talking, I noticed he was pretty cute. A thick head of dark hair, and such pretty blue eyes. Beneath his nose, laid a set of pretty lips. He looked maybe around 23 or 24 years old.
He didn't look like the "party type". Instead of being filled with alcohol, he was filled with sobriety - I like that in a man. He was a little bit on the shy side, and was soft-spoken, which I've always found very sweet.
I looked at his lap, which seemed to have a lump in it. I looked back up at him to see he had been looking at me the whole time. I blushed.
"Anyway," he continued. "Cheryl was the drunkest girl at the party. I thought I had better bring her home before something happened."
"Oh, so you didn't go together to the party?"
"No. She's not my girlfriend, if that's what you're asking."
I slightly blushed again. He smiled at me. I giggled a little shyly. We sat there for a moment in awkward silence.
"Jeff, would you like to come in the kitchen? I can make you a snack if you'd like."
"No thanks, Gracie...Can I call you Gracie?"
I nodded. Suddenly I felt self-conscious, sitting there with just a short nightie on.
"I should go get my bathrobe on," I said, getting up.
"Oh, that's alright. I should be going anyway," he said.
I got up to show him to the door. We stood there awkwardly for a moment. He gently lifted my chin and leaned down to kiss me. His soft lips touched mine, and he slipped his tongue in my mouth, then he straightened up.
"Bye sweetie," he said quietly, and left. I watched him leave and drive out onto the road. Shutting the door, I went up to my room and snuggled into bed. I made no effort to get back to sleep, I knew it wouldn't do me any good. I laid on my back and folded my arms behind my head.
I never met anyone like him before. Most young men are so rude and so grabby, but he wasn't like that all. He was a gentleman. Just a nice, young gentleman.
The next day Jeff called me up, and we started going out on dates as often as we could. One date led to another and another, and pretty soon we saw each other as much as we could. Weekends, weeknights, whenever we could be together.
On one particular Saturday afternoon, we decided to go on a picnic. It was mid-May, and the weather was so pretty out. By that time, we had been dating for a month, and we hadn't had any type of sex. We only necked a few times too. I think both of us were too shy to try and make the first move when it came to sex.
I was wearing a tiny pair of jean shorts (Jeff had seen me in them before and commented how cute they were) and a v-neck.
We sat on the blanket, having just finished our lunch. There was a lake nearby and I slipped off my shoes and ran into the water. I was about knee-deep when I called out to him.
"Come on!"
He sat there for a moment, just smiling. I ran back up to him and leaned over, knowing full well he could see down my top.
