Checking his pockets, Timmy Knudsen saw he had four dollars. It wasn't enough for a triple bubble gum snow-cone from the Sweet Oak Sno-Cone stand. It was enough for a double, if he didn't get the condensed milk added to it.
Stepping up, he placed his order and watched to make sure the girl added enough syrup to the shaved ice. Taking his cup, Timmy then looked around for a place to sit and enjoy the cold treat. He frowned, vaguely remembering the young man sitting at one of the benches.
"Hi Timmy; how's it going?" the young man smiled genially.
"I uh, it's going," Timmy shrugged, trying to remember the man's name.
"You want to say 'Jared,'" Jared Pearson smiled easily. "Been out with Cindy a couple of times."
"Oh, oh yeah! How you doing?" Timmy asked, sitting at the young man's bench.
"Aw, you know," Jared said, giving his Styrofoam cup one last scrape with the plastic spoon.
Timmy remembered Jared and Cindy disappearing into Cindy's bedroom for more than two hours. The bumps and bangs and gasps and squeals that came from Cindy's room left little doubt to what was going on in Cindy's room. The noises had drowned out the Grand Theft Auto game Timmy and Rusty had been playing.
Before they'd closed the door to Cindy's room, Jared had been friendly to Timmy and Rusty, Timmy's best friend. When Jared emerged from Cindy's room a few hours later, shutting the door behind himself, Rusty had snickered and asked Jared if Cindy was a good fuck.
"I have no idea," Jared had smiled, then shrugged. "She is a wonderful kisser; I had a terrific time kissing her."
"Aw come on dude!" Rusty had protested. "We heard all that noise. You going tell us..."
"I don't know what you think you heard," Jared had smiled easily as he walked to the front door of the trailer. "Like I said, Cindy is a fantastic kisser."
"What?" Rusty just could not let the matter drop. "All that 'oh yeah' and 'oh God' and you going..."
"Shut up, Rusty," Cindy had screamed, raw hatred for the pimple-faced Russell Barnes quite evident on her pretty face.
"Hey, Beautiful," Jared had smiled as Cindy skipped up to him, pulling her short robe tightly around herself.
"Hey you," Cindy had simpered coquettishly, stretching up for a kiss.
"I was just telling them you are one of the best kissers I've ever been around," Jared had smiled, wrapping his muscled arms around Cindy.
"Kissing, my ass," Rusty said as the hem of Cindy's robe had risen, revealing her nude buttocks to the two young men.
When she and Jared had finished kissing, Cindy had whirled around. The flaps of her robe had flashed both Timmy and Rusty her landing strip of brown curls. Neither Timmy nor Rusty could miss the sight of Cindy's inner lips, puffy and swollen.
"Yeah, right, kissing," Rusty had chortled, earning himself another hateful glare from Cindy and a solemn shake of his head from Jared.
"So, uh, why you ain't been back?" Timmy asked as Jared casually placed the Styrofoam cup on the bench between them.
"What makes you think I haven't?" Jared asked, draping his arms on the back of their bench.
"I, you have?" Timmy asked.
"Your sister is a truly beautiful woman, and a fantastic kisser. I also enjoy talking with her," Jared smiled easily.
"Yeah. Talking," Timmy scoffed.
"Oh? And what do you think we do?" Jared asked, smiling as a gangly red headed girl glanced toward them.
"I uh, you know," Timmy said.
"No. I don't know. I know we kissed, we talked, we kissed some more," Jared said, smile growing wider when the red head blushed and looked away.
"Aw come on, dude," Timmy said.
"Timmy, let me ask you something," Jared said, now turning to look at Timmy. "Let's say you and I, we went back to my house. We drink a couple of beers, maybe even bust up a few buds."
"Aw yeah!" Timmy enthused. "You got..."
"And while we're laying there, feeling good," Jared said and nodded as the red headed girl again looked at him then quickly looked away. "And we blow each other. Hey, just two guys, you know?"
"Do what? I ain't..." Timmy screeched.
"You want me telling anyone what we done?" Jared asked.
"No! 'Cause we ain't never going..." Timmy blustered.
"Hey, like I said, we're a little drunk, a little fucked up," Jared said. "It just kind of got out of hand and..."
"That ain't never going happen," Timmy continued to protest.
"Okay, it didn't happen," Jared conceded. "But, hey, suppose I want everyone thinking you some kind of fag. You appreciate me telling everyone you did?"
"I'd kick your ass," Timmy threatened angrily.
"Uh huh," Jared shook his head. "Anyway, you wouldn't want me telling anyone that shit, would you? Well guess what, dude? Girls don't like it either. They don't like guys talking shit about them. Even if it's Easy MacSqueezy, she don't want hear you been running your mouth 'bout her."
Easy MacSqueezy?" Timmy laughed.
"Yeah, you know; girl everyone's fucked, 'cept you," Jared said and again focused on the red headed girl.
The girl blushed again and looked away. She pretended to find a green pickup truck extremely interesting. Jared gave her a polite nod with his head when she peered at him out the corner of her eye. She flamed even redder and looked into her cup.
"Course, you find out, everyone's been talking shit; she really don't fuck," Jared said. "But you want to be known as the guy couldn't get none of that? When everyone knows she does?"
"Huh," Timmy thought aloud.
"Or, I mean, seriously, your buddy Rusty? Let me guess; he fucks more girls than you've ever met in your whole life, right?" Jared asked.
"Just about," Timmy laughed.
"And you know ninety nine point nine percent of that is just bull shit," Jared said, getting to his feet.
Timmy watched as Jared brought his empty cup to a garbage can. Jared then walked directly to the red head and sat down on the bench. She froze, spoon halfway to her mouth. When Jared slid a little closer, she quickly jammed the spoon in her mouth.
Timmy watched as Jared playfully showed the girl his deep purple tongue. The girl laughed and displayed her vivid green tongue. Timmy couldn't hear what the handsome young man was saying, but saw Jared point to the girl's cup. The girl tilted the cup and showed Jared the contents.
As Timmy watched, the girl playfully held out a spoonful of her snow-cone to Jared. He leaned forward and laughed when she playfully jerked the spoon back. Jared caught her wrist and took the offered spoon into his mouth.
The girl laughed as Jared pretended he'd been poisoned. Jared then scooted even closer to her, draping his arm across the back of the bench, close to her.
As Timmy watched, the girl finished eating her snow-cone. Jared took the empty cup from her hand and brought it to the garbage can. Then he helped the red head to her feet and wrapped an arm around her slim waist. Timmy watched her sweetly rounded buttocks wiggle and waggle as Jared led her around the corner and out of sight.
A week later, Timmy saw Jared again, sitting on a bench at Browner Park. Jared was sitting, facing the swings, seemingly content to just sit and soak up the sun's harmful UV rays.
"Hey Timmy, sup?" Jared said easily.
"Hey," Timmy agreed, plopping down on the bench.
For a few moments, neither young man said anything. There were no children on the swings, just one boy on the tall slide a few yards beyond the swings.
"Other day, that, damn man! I mean, dude! You just went right up and next thing I know, you're walking off with that girl," Timmy blurted out.
"Melanie? Very sweet girl," Jared smiled.
"Uh huh, and let me guess, all y'all did was kiss, right?" Timmy said.
"Mm hmm," Jared agreed. "She's a very smart young lady. Wants to be a lawyer. Right now? She's majoring in History at Connelly."
"But I mean, you just walked right up to her and..." Timmy said.
"Mm hmm. And?" Jared asked. "What? I should have been too afraid to?"
"Well, yeah, I mean, damn!" Timmy said.
"Whatever," Jared shrugged, getting to his feet. "Come on, take a walk."
Timmy got to his feet and the two walked along the trail. The sun was broiling hot and Timmy wiped his forearm across his forehead.
"Anyway, Melanie was giving off the signals," Jared said. "You know, looking over, looking away, looking back."
"Really?" Timmy asked.
"Mm hmm, but let me guess; you were looking over at the three blondes by the water fountain, right?" Jared asked.
"Well, yeah!" Timmy agreed. "I mean, dude, they were hot!"
"Mm hmm, and a complete waste of time," Jared said, pausing by a water fountain.
Timmy watched as Jared let the first gush of water spill into the bowl. From experience, Timmy knew that first spurt of water was near boiling temperature. Then Jared took a long sip from the spurting water.
"How you can say that?" Timmy asked after taking his own drink of water.
"Three of them? Together? You'd never get anywhere with any of them," Jared said. "See, you pay too much attention to one of them? The other two get all pissed off. And they tell their friend you're an ass hole and she listens to her friends, even if she thinks you're really cute so you wasted your whole time for nothing and got nowhere with any of them."
"Huh," Timmy said.
