âJack so wants you!â Melissa Webber told her friend Jennifer as the pair walked to the Webber house together, after school.
âHe does not,â replied Jennifer, laughing.
âYes he does,â Melissa said, her face splitting into a wide grin. âHe wants you baaaaad.â She laughed along with her friend.
âWell, it doesnât matter anyway,â Jennifer said, âbecause Iâm not interested in him.â
âWhy not?â Melissa asked.
âBecause I donât go for the jocks. Theyâre too pigheaded.â
âWhatever,â said Melissa. âI think youâre crazy.â Jennifer turned to her friend and stuck out her tongue. Melissa laughed in reply and slapped her friend on the butt. âCâmon,â she said, âI wanna get home, itâs so hot out here.â
The two 18-year-olds hurried their pace, waving at old Mrs. Mitchell as they passed by her house, with its immaculate garden.
They arrived at Melissaâs door a few minutes later, glad to step into the large air conditioned house. The first room was an enourmous space that held the kitchen, mealâs area and lounge room in one, with no separation between the areas. It was modern, with polished boards on the floor, grey leather furniture in front of a large flat screen TV and black marble counters in the kitchen. Jennifer liked Melissaâs place a lot, and luckily, she spent a lot of time here.
âYour momâs not home?â Jennifer asked.
âNah. Must be out shopping.â
The pair dumped their bags beneath the kitchen counter. Melissa set about making two tall orange smoothies, which the girls downed in seconds.
âAh,â Melissa sighed, smacking her lips together as she set down the glass by the sink, doing the same with Jenniferâs. She then spread her arms, leaning on the kitchen counter and staring at her friend with an expectant look. What now?
The extremely loose fitting white shirt that Melissa liked to wear to school sagged down under gravityâs influence, exposing the 18-year-oldâs lacy white bra and the curves of her breasts. They were smaller than Jenniferâs, but still quite ample. Her skin, though certainly not pale, lacked the glamorous golden colour of Jenniferâs, and her dark brunette hair was in contrast to her friendâs sandy blonde mane. Jennifer wore it perfectly straight, or sometimes in pigtails, whilst Melissa often opted for a high ponytail. Realising she was so closely observing her friends body, Jennifer came up with an answer to Melissaâs unspoken question.
âLetâs go upstairs,â she said, walking around the counter and taking Melissaâs hand. Melissa smiled, clearly hoping theyâd been thinking the same thing.
Melissaâs room was a girly kind of room, white in the background with a dotting of pinks and yellows and pale blues. Plush toys sat propped against her lacy pillows, staring with unblinking eyes at the large closet, covered with posters of equally cute animals. An incongruous black CD player sat on top of a chest-of-drawers, with a stack of CDâs standing on the floor beside it, yet still managing to achieve the same height as the CD player.
Melissa shut her door and walked with her friend to the bed. They sat on separate sides, their legs facing oppositely but their torsos twisted in to meet each other. Melissa grinned, eyeing Jenniferâs ample bust, straining beneath her much tighter white school shirt. Both girls kicked off their shoes and socks, exposing their long, shaven legs that disappeared at mid-thigh under their chequered school skirts.
Jennifer made the first move, putting a hand on Melissaâs shoulder and leaning in toward her until their lips touched, both girls grinning. Even after three weeks of sporadic ventures into this unknown territory, the taboo of it still rocked both girls. They couldnât kiss properly, owing to the fact that their mouths were still stretched into wide grins. Melissa merely shut her eyes and revelled in the contact of their skin. She was still shy and hesitant, Jennifer noticed, but at least now she enjoyed it.
Jenniferâs smile faded first, by her own will. She slid her hand around her friendâs neck, cupping it, and pulled her closer to plant a moist lip-smacker on her mouth. Melissa giggled, turning her cheek to her friendâs mouth in embarrassment. Jennifer adjusted quickly, attacking Melissaâs neck instead. That always got Melissa going. She turned back to her friend, returning her kisses tentatively, still smiling. She began tracing a finger down Jenniferâs tanned arm, drawing circles on the back of her hand.
This was what exhilarated Melissa the most, the touching. It was so much more than just kissing. She spread her fingers and closed her hand around Jenniferâs left breast, creasing the material that housed it. Jennifer giggled, sliding a hand up Melissaâs shirt in return. She drew circles around her belly button, elated at how soft the skin on Melissaâs belly was.
Jennifer then went for the legs, wrapping her hand around Melissaâs left ankle, and sliding it up her shin, then her thigh until it disappeared up her skirt, Jenniferâs fingertips touching lacy panties. Melissa grinned against Jenniferâs neck, where her mouth was now pressed.
They continued rubbing each otherâs skin, over every exposed bit of flesh, always stopping at certain boundaries. Mere contact through their school clothes was enough. They never considered going further. They were just experimenting, and enjoying themselves without the worry of being pushed to far by an overpowering guy. It was sexual release for the both of them, going a step beyond masturbating, which they both did in their own time. But thatâs all it was. And it was lucky that they stopped.
ââLissa,â Mrs. Webber called from the stairs, obviously climbing them from the sound of her voice.
Melissa lowered her skirt quickly and tried to hide her guilty smile while Jennifer smoothed out her shirt, briefly admiring the creases her breasts created between themselves in her shirt. There was knock on the door.
âYeah, mom?â Melissa said loudly.
âCan I come in?â Mrs. Webber said.
âUhâŚâ Melissa reached out and seized two girl magazines, giving one to Jennifer and spreading her own open in front of her. âYeah, sure,â she finished.
The door opened and Mrs. Webber stepped into the room.
âOh, hi Jennifer,â she said, noticing her daughterâs friend.
âHi, Mrs. Webber,â Jennifer replied politely.
