Lenny and I had been hoping for one last fling of summer. The three months between high school graduation and college (for us the University of New Hampshire) is supposed to be a superb period of existence, poised between two different chapters of your life cycle, adolescence in the rear view mirror, the whole horizon expanded in front of you, the grand future beckoning, sex and love and new partners within reach, all of that, but I will tell you it had mostly been a bust.
I had worked that summer in construction for my uncle's housing empire, the lowest level worker on what could not even be described as a totem pole. I was the young whipper-snapper slave whom everyone else ordered around, fetched tools and supplies, and I didn't even learn as much as I had hoped. My sweet mentoring uncle had turned overnight into an exacting taskmaster.
Lenny was a little better off, working at the farm/apple orchard job he'd had for two years, but his girlfriend Arlene had ditched him (with cause, frankly) in June, and we had each had a summer of excruciating celibacy.
So, we vowed to make one last foray down to Cape Cod on Labor Day weekend, and undertook the long drive through Boston and along the coast, so that we could cruise the bayside beaches of the Cape, staying at a family friend's vacation rental in Barnstable.
Due to a rather over-exuberant night Saturday, we had gotten a late start Sunday and hadn't gotten to the beach until after noon, and we had set out for the far end of the sands, where we knew more of the college-age folks hung out, with even a rumor of a clandestine clothing-optional area, which we never actually found.
The late summer midday sun was hot and everyone looked pretty good to us. We made out way slowly along the waters edge, trying to strike up conversations with young females while we checked out their charms and tried to exude as much coolness as we could muster.
One particularly stunning girl, real dark tan, maybe even Latina, with dark straight hair and dazzling teeth, seemed promising until her boyfriend emerged from the water and we beat a hasty retreat. Our casual conversation must have gone on a little too long for comfort.
She had worn a white bikini, with enough cleavage showing to make our mouths water. Her chest was not particularly large, but the movement was enthralling as she walked, and I couldn't help thinking how nice it would have been for her to run her breasts over my face and down the rest of my body.
Another pair of wenches were a long shot, since they looked a good three or four years older than us, but we stopped to admire the fetching hips of the slender one with red hair, and make small talk about the water temperature. They too did not exhibit much enthusiasm for us, and we continued on toward Howard's Point.
We were just about ready to turn around, since the beachgoers were thinning out and we were fairly convinced that the most attractive females remained behind us and perhaps ready for second assault, when Lenny steered us towards a knoll a little ways from the water.
Three handsome women were sunbathing, one of them under an umbrella with a book and a cooler. She had dark hair and looked pleasing, although it was hard to read her face behind her dark glasses. It looked like they had at least ten years on us but that had never stopped Lenny.
One of her other companions had dark hair also, lying prone on a towel, while the third had sandy blonde hair streaked quite light in the sun. The one under the umbrella had a one piece bathing suit, while the two sunbathers wore enticingly brief bikinis.
The dark-haired one on her stomach had untied her top, presumably to get an even, uniform back tan -- always a lure. Lenny had fantasized many times about coming up on a girl in this situation and doing something outrageous or startling just to see if she would sit up quickly, exposing her chest. He was capable of all kinds of stunts, but I was never convinced he'd be able to pull something like that off.
"Any chance of bumming a beer or two from you folks?" Lenny began, pointing towards their cooler.
Now, I admit as an opening line this was neither particularly elegant or even likely of success, but I was much more the follower in these matters, and Lenny had a one-pointed focus that was often an effective, if rather primitive approach in our forays.
He was taller than me at five-foot ten, but his sturdy German heritage left him with an early-onset gut and a barrel chest, compared to my smaller but more wiry constitution. Neither of us would win any handsome contests, but of course that was not our main goal in life.
The shaded woman looked us up and down and glanced at her companions, who had turned their heads to check us out.
"What makes you think we have any to spare?" she asked mildly.
"You look well supplied," said Lenny, pointing to their cooler.
"We were hoping you might take pity on a couple of overheated young bucks," I volunteered, "sure is hot today."
The blonde haired woman, who I had noticed had strong looking calves and really nice shoulders, the kind found on serious swimmers, looked over at us and asked, "Just how old are you guys?"
This was always the problem with this sort of opening gambit, since although eighteen, we were still clearly underage for legal drinking and knew we looked it.
"We're at UNH," Lenny said, not technically true since we hadn't started yet, but he was hoping we seemed a little closer to twenty-one than they thought.
"We'll be glad to swap some of our provisions," I said, pointing to our backpacks stocked with lunch items.
The shaded woman smiled. "That won't be necessary. What do you think Sherry?" she asked the blonde one.
"Sure, why not?" and they tossed us each a beer out of their cooler.
Damn, I thought, this is looking a bit more promising than I had expected. We sipped from the cans and tried chatting up our prospects.
"I heard the beach has a no-swimsuit section over beyond the point," Lenny said, gesturing.
"Hot enough today as it is, even a swimsuit is oppressive."
