"Do you want to go to the Prom with me?"
"Excuse me?"
"Can you...can you be my date to the Prom?" Amber replied, now a little unsure of herself.
I stuttered in response, glancing to my mother for guidance. "I...um, when is it?"
"May 14."
"Yeah, um, I guess, school will just have finished."
"Okay, great!" she smiled.
We looked at each other awkwardly as we stood in the driveway, my parents sitting in the car that was about to take me to the airport and back to the University. What was I supposed to do? The whole thing had caught me so off guard I didn't know what to do. One moment I'm tossing my suitcase into the car, the next moment Amber Castle is standing there asking me to her Prom.
"Um, okay," she smiled. "Have a safe trip. Bye Mr. and Mrs. Towson!" she waved and then walked away.
"What was that about?" Mom asked as I got into the car.
"I'm taking Amber to her Prom."
****
I had known Amber for years, she lived only a few houses down. I had looked out for her a bit when she entered high school as a freshman, and I was a senior, made sure no one was picking on her. And now I was going to take her to her Prom. Only now I was a 21-year-old college junior, and she was an 18-year-old high school senior. I hadn't really seen her in over 3 years, and the time had been very good to her. She was absolutely stunning, blonde hair, trim, looked pretty stacked too from the brief glance I took when she surprised me. Time had been good to me also, in a way. I was going to school halfway across the country. I had participated in many wild parties with lots of girls. I had tried dating but it was just too much trouble, so I just hooked up at parties. Girls were a fun distraction, I had no time to date.
I started Skyping with Amber. We did 'dates' every Friday, skyping for hours. I seriously started falling for her. Perhaps distance does make the heart grow fonder. Our 'dates' became more frequent. One night her best friend hadn't left yet and I got to meet Katy. Katy was also gorgeous and looked like she had some Indian in her, with tan skin and long, black hair.
One Saturday night after a few hours our Skype turned sexual. As the night went on, Amber confessed that she was a virgin and that she wanted to lose her virginity to me after the Prom. She even flashed me a few times. I felt honored and troubled. I wanted to do things right for her, make sure her first time was wonderful. As things worked out, my exam schedule meant that I flew home the morning of the Prom. I ended up arriving just in time to get into my tux and heading over to pick up Amber.
Amber was simply stunning. Blonde hair down, red dress and heels, she was amazing. Even with her mother there I couldn't resist giving Amber a passionate kiss. Finally getting to touch her after a month of just talking to her was pure heaven. Amber introduced me to Katy and her date, Adam. Katy was also dazzling in a blue gown, almost matching my Amber in hotness. We took a few photos in the backyard and then went in to wait for our ride. Something about Adam just didn't feel right, but I had never been a people person, so I brushed it of.
I have to say, the girls looked great at the prom. One thing that I quickly noticed was how immature the guys were. I was only a few years removed from High School, but these lugnuts seemed like they were all twits. Fortunately I had my Amber. The night progressed and Amber and I enjoyed ourselves, dancing and chatting. We had gotten separated from Katy and Adam, and then some girl ran up and whispered into Amber's ear. Her eyes widened, and she quickly excused herself, leaving me alone in a crowd where I knew no one.
It turned out that Katy had just caught Adam getting blown by another chick. Katy was distraught, and Amber was not about to leave her best friend. I found them on a bench outside, Katy crying on Amber's shoulder. I figured the night was a waste, but joined them on the bench. Amber was working tirelessly to cheer her friend up, and I followed her lead, telling Katy how beautiful she was and how all the college guys were going to drool over her. I left out the part that they were probably just going to want one thing from her, but you know. I finally offered to call the Limo to take us home. The cabin I had rented for the four of us was probably going to be wasted, paid in full and everything.
"Yes," Amber agreed. "Let's go home, get our bags, and then the three of us will go to the cabin."
I didn't like the idea, and Katy didn't either, as she didn't want to be third wheel, but Amber insisted. Amber worked on her friend the whole ride home. By the time we dropped Katy off, she was smiling. We went back to Amber's house to get our stuff, and she spoke up.
"Kevin, there's no easy way for me say this, but I need to tell you now." I nodded, wondering where this was going. "I've never done...it." I nodded again. "And I know this has been a crazy night, but I still want to do it with you. Tonight." My hearts soared.
"Amber, I...," I started.
"But I am not going to abandon Katy, not after what that asshole did to her. So please be patient."
"I...okay."
When we got back to Katy's she had a change of heart and again didn't want to join us, but Amber talked her into the car. Amber joined Katy in the back seat. We talked happily for the entire drive to the isolated cabin in the woods. Amber really was a sweetheart, keeping the conversation light and fun and continuous. Katy put her things in one room, and we took the other. I returned to the living room and started the gas fireplace, still in my tux shirt and pants. We reconvened in front of the fireplace. The girls had changed into shorts and camis, and I kinda think I could see Amber's nipples through hers. Katy's had a pattern on it. The cabin had a few games on the shelf. One was an adult game, and Amber read a few of the frisky questions. Katy pouted that we couldn't play it.
"We...could play it," Amber offered, with a glance to me.
"Yeah but, I wouldn't have anyone to...," Katy started before following Amber's eyes to me. "Oh."
I swallowed and shrugged. This was not happening. Amber looked back to Katy and then smiled.
"Let's play!" she giggled and brought the game over.
Now, I knew the game. We had played it more than a few times at the Frat. The game pretty much assumed a boy-girl group, and had lots of cards with things like "Kiss the person on your left." or "Simulate your favorite sex act with the person on your right." A lot of left and right directions, and different levels getting progressively more provocative. I wondered how far Amber would let this go, and whether I would be seeing Amber and Katy make out. As Amber set up the board I quickly seized control and declared that we would be starting the with the PG deck of cards. Everyone was sober after all and I wanted to be sure that things out light and fun and not too sexual at the start. We gathered around the board on the floor set down our pieces. I drew a card and started the game.
The first cards were easy: Tell the person to your right 3 things that are attractive about them. Do a sexy dance. Would you prefer fame or sex and why, Are you a giver to taker, etc?. I drew the sexy dance card and did my best male stripper routine, taking off my shirt and wiggling my hips in both girls faces. We laughed a lot and both girls were having fun with it. I had to remind myself not to stare at Amber's nipples.
After a while Amber made the decision to skip the next level of cards and go straight to the 'R-rated' ones. She handed me the deck to draw for her.
"Give a lap dance to the person on your left," I read. Amber and Katy looked at each other for a moment, since she was to her left. "Remember, you wanted to do the R-rated ones."
"Do I have to...take off my top?" she asked me.
