“I can’t believe she said yes! Dude you’re so lucky!” Phil said as he walked down the hallway his hand slapping Tim’s back. “I mean, Julie, she’s like the hottest girl I’ve ever seen.”
Tim felt a little uneasy. Why was she going out with him? I mean it wasn’t his idea really. It was almost like his dad talked to her dad and then suddenly they were going on a date.
Tim was always a little shy with girls. Never sure what to say or how to act, he usually just stood there silent and watched all the people around him make fools of themselves. Now, all of a sudden, he was thrust into dating.
“Dude,” Phil continued, “I mean look at her! She’s gorgeous.”
Tim raised his head and watched as she walked across the hallway in front of him. He couldn’t stop looking at her, the blonde hair swaying gracefully, her blue eyes glimmering in the afternoon sun.
“I don’t think I can go through with this,” Tim looked at Phil. “I mean I can’t even have a conversation with her. The other day I went to her to say “Hi” and all I could manage was a “Haaaa””. It was awful.
“Dude, you have to it. Don’t stop now, you had the balls to ask her out didn’t you?” Phil looked up to Tim. “Well?”
Tim’s knees wobbled as he nervously looked at the figure of beauty as it passed the row of lockers and turned the corner.
“I…” Tim started to answer, “I don’t know what happened.”
Phil looked at him confused.
“Well I have to get home!” Phil shouted excitedly as he walked backwards down the hall. “I’ll see you tomorrow! You can tell me all about it.”
Tim looked up at the clock and slowly walked towards his car.
“Only three hours,” he whispered to himself. “And to think, here I am 18 years old, almost ready to leave for college and I’m afraid of a night with a girl. A woman now, I guess she’s eighteen. I don’t believe it.”
“What?” a guy looked at him, “Were you talking to me?”
Tim looked up embarrassed, “I’m sorry. I was just talking to myself.”
The guy looked at him with a weird look and yelled out “Freak!” and walked briskly away.
Tim thought about the incident his entire drive home. What makes him a freak? Why do people look at him and think he’s weird? It doesn’t make any sense that the most beautiful girl in the school would go on a date with him.
He walked up the driveway and towards the mallard green door to his house and inside.
“Dad, are you home?” he called out. “It’s me.”
He dropped his keys onto the table and fished through the day’s mail.
“In here,” his father finally called out. “I’m in here.”
Tim looked around.
“Well you’re not very descriptive,” Tim called out. “Where the hell is here?”
“In the basement smart ass,” his father responded.
Tim dropped the L. L. Bean catalog into the recycle basket as he slowly walked to the basement door. He hadn’t been in the basement for years, ever since his mother died. He felt his heart in his throat as he slowly opened the door.
“Dad, I’m home okay,” he called out over the clang of his father hammering something. “Can you hear me.”
Tim peered into the basement, the dim lighting glimmering off various bits and pieces of metal.
“Dad?” Tim called out again. “Can you hear me?”
The hammering stopped but still no answer.
Tim walked towards the first stair and bent over to peak in a little further, his heart now pounding harder.
“Dad?”
There still wasn’t an answer. Tim was petrified. He grabbed onto his chest and slowly bent himself further down the handrail. He couldn’t see anything.
Slowly he reached out his foot to the first stair and then the second.
“Dad?” Tim whispered.
Tim’s eyes were adjusting to the light and he saw the outline of a man leaning over a workbench, another man next to him.
Suddenly their heads flew backwards and Tim let out a shriek.
“Oh man! That was the best tequila I’ve had in years,” his father blurted out before turning to see what made that horrible noise.
“Tim! Haaloooo,” his dad called out. “You know Mr. Davis don’t you?”
Tim settled down, his heart still thumping against his chest.
“Yes, I know Mr. Davis,” Tim answered softly.
Mr. Davis slowly approached Tim.
“Hello son,” he reached out his hand, “I heard you’re going on a date with my Julie.”
Tim looked up at the tall man, his hair graying at the sideburns and thought about his daughter.
“Yes sir, I believe I am,” Tim reached his hand out and shuddered as Mr. Davis shook it with strong grip.
“That’s great. Isn’t that great Roger?” Mr. Davis turned around to look at Tim’s father.
“Yes it is,” Tim’s dad looked at his son, “Yes it is.”
Tim looked at his father and then Mr. Davis.
“It was nice seeing you again sir,” Tim nodded at Mr. Davis. “I should go and get ready.”
Tim slowly walked back up the stairs.
“Oh Tim,” Mr. Davis called out, “I brought Julie over, she should be waiting for you upstairs.”
Tim felt his stomach drop as he walked away, not answering. How was he going to get ready if she was here?
He looked into the living room but she wasn’t there. Slowly he turned down the hallway towards his room, hoping she wasn’t inside, he hadn’t had time to clean.
His fingers wrapped around the handle, slowly turning it, listening for any sound of Julie.
Slowly pushing the door open, the bottom catching against yesterday’s clothes, he slid into his room.
“Hello,” Julie looked up at him from a chair. “You know, you really are a slob,” she kicked a pair of his dirty underwear towards him.
Tim looked at her horrified.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t know you were coming over!” he blurted out, “I would have picked my room up.”
Tim bowed his head in embarrassment.
“You know, from now on you’ll have to be cleaner than this,” Julie stated. “I mean this is just unacceptable.”
Tim looked up at her not sure what to make of that last statement.
“Come here,” she commanded.
Tim didn’t know what was going on, but he slowly felt compelled to walk towards her. Pausing in front of her, he felt his cock stiffen as he peered down past her blue eyes and towards her cleavage.
“You like what you see don’t you?” she looked up at Tim her finger slowly drawing across her chest and then up to her waiting tongue.
“I, uh…” Tim stammered as he noticed her finger sliding into her mouth, her other hand slowly reaching out towards his now hard cock.
