Sure, I had had sex before but my boyfriend of almost five years had always insisted on using a condom when we made love. He was very quick to put one on and I had hardly ever seen his bare dick. And, of course, I had never felt one in my pussy. Not one drop of cum had ever made its way into my body. So, at twenty-three years of age, I felt that I was still like a virgin.
This was starting to really bother me and I was coming to think that I should do something about this situation. I didn't actually want to cheat on David but I didn't think I was going to get any relief with him. As time wore on I was beginning to resent his reluctance to take me to completion. I started to look for opportunities to finally lose my virginity. My attention was more and more drawn to Reggie, a black guy I worked with at the hospital. Like me, he was a nurse and he was constantly bugging me to go out with him. I always told him I had a boyfriend, but he kept at it. I had almost decided to do it, and finally the opportunity came up. David was in his last year for his masters at the university and he was offered a ten-week internship at a company in Cincinnati. He decided to take it and David left two weeks later.
After another unfulfilling night of sex before David left, I lay in bed and decided to go out with Reggie. The next night Reggie and I worked the same shift, and, as usual, he asked me out. I surprised the hell out of him when I told him I would love to go out with him.
"Oh, did you see the light and finally dump that boyfriend?"
"No, but David will be out of town this weekend, and I don't feel like staying home by myself."
"Does that mean I get you for the whole weekend?"
"Now, I didn't say that, but why don't we have dinner and maybe catch a movie Friday night. You are off that night, aren't you?"
"Yeah. I don't go in till Monday night. I really love those twelve-hour shifts. Four days off every week fits my lifestyle just fine. Next week I'm on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday."
"I've got Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Why don't you pick me up at seven? That'll give us plenty of time to get to know each other better in a non-work situation."
"You can bet I'll be there. I've been waiting for this ever since I first saw you. You aren't on a curfew, are you?"
"David doesn't own me! I can stay out all night if I choose."
"Great! I'll plan on that."
"Slow down, big fella, dinner first and then we'll see what happens. See you at seven."
For the next two days, I didn't see Reggie because we were working on different shifts. I couldn't believe how excited I was over our date. I had decided that if Reggie was just a little bit aggressive, I would not be a virgin by Saturday morning. When I woke up Friday afternoon at about two, I figured I had enough time to get my hair and nails done. I didn't want anything to discourage Reggie. I was ready by six-thirty and my stomach was in knots-I didn't want to make a fool of myself by being too eager. My nervousness disappeared when Reggie stepped into my apartment, hugged me, and gave me a quick kiss right on the lips. Bingo! I knew right then how the evening would turn out.
As we drove to the restaurant, I sat close to Reggie and casually let my hand rest on his thigh. I'm sure he liked that and I was sure that he got the message because when we got there, he turned to me and gave me another kiss-not a quick one this time but a good one which I returned with relish. While we were waiting for our food I told him that rather than go to a movie, I would rather go to a video store and pick up a couple movies so that we could watch them at my place.
When we finished eating and were back in Reggie's SUV, I told him that there was a video store, just a couple blocks from my apartment. As we headed that way, I told him that this store had an X-rated section. "I think we should get a couple of hot movies. You do like sexy films, don't you?"
"I love them, but how did you know?"
"Well, you're a guy, aren't you? As a matter of fact, since we are an interracial couple, I think we should get one or two of that kind."
"So, we're a couple now?"
I put my hand on his thigh and replied, "Yeah, I guess we are. For tonight anyway." Reggie pulled over to side of the street. He threw the car into park, turned and grabbed me. We melted into each other, kissing like the lovers we were going to become. "Oh, Reggie, you have been asking me out for three years. I'm really sorry I didn't say yes a long time ago."
"But Beth, what about your boyfriend?"
"Well, he's not here now and I actually told you a little fib. He isn't going to be gone just for the weekend-he took an internship in Cincinnati and will be gone for nine and a half weeks."
"Wow! A nine and a half week date. Let's get to the store so we can get back to your place pronto."
"Yes, let's hurry." Another kiss and we were off. "You pick out the movies, Reggie. I'm sure you know more about this than I do." I knew I wouldn't be worrying about my virginity for much longer. I was already getting wet.
