I pulled up outside her house and Maria climbed off the pillion. Her racquet was slung across her back and she reached behind and pulled it over her head.
She was smiling; in fact she never stopped smiling except of course when I tried to put my hand up her dress. Then it was, "Please stop; I don't want you to. Why do you always have to spoil everything by being dirty?"
I had no wish to spoil anything, I just wanted to put my hand between her legs and feel her pussy. Even when I put my hands on her tits she said, "You're doing it again and I've told you not to touch me there."
She turned and smiled then blew a kiss with, "See you Friday."
I watched her run to her gate and then along the path towards her front door. A leggy, skinny, churchgoing virgin who happened to be my girlfriend.
How she ever got to be my girlfriend was a mystery to me. At the tennis club we had drawn each other in the mixed doubles and a couple of Cokes later we were 'James and Maria'.
Each night in bed I would fret about it. I knew what was going to happen. They would start asking, "When are you two going to get engaged?" and then, "Have you fixed the date yet?"
Every time I tried to grope her she would say, "I keep telling you, I don't want to do it until we're husband and wife."
During the marriage ceremony I would be the only virgin in the congregation; that is apart from Maria.
I often pleaded, "Why me God? Why won't you let me feel just one little pussy?" All my mates were shagging their brains out, or so they said, and all I did was pull my plonker. I wanked so often I knew eventually I would have to wear glasses. I could go through a box of tissues in a week. The one condom that I possessed was so old I could have sold it on eBay as a collector's item.
Why wouldn't she let me feel it? I wasn't going to damage it or push it out of shape or something.
Of course I knew what one looked like; I'd seen enough porn on the Internet. The porn ones were hardly pretty; great big, squidgy things you could paddle in. They had to be to take some of the cocks. I'm six feet tall and on the Richter scale I reckon mine is an eight. That's after comparison with the other guys in the shower or peering over at someone else's while at a latrine. Well we all do that don't we?
The point I'm trying to make is that after comparison with porn studs, I am merely average. Surely the producers must realise what it's doing to men's confidence?
Inexperienced wives who see porn for the first time probably think that all cocks are supposed to be that size and therefore think that their husbands are underprivileged.
Consequently I am of the opinion that woman should be banned from watching porn altogether and millions of men would be greatly relieved. I feel very strongly about it.
I just wanted to have my own pussy to play with, but of course it had to be attached to a female. I wanted a tiny sweet furry little thing that opened like a flower when I kissed it.
I wanted to say to it softly, "Hello little pussy, you belong to me and I'm going to look after you. I'm going to play with you and stroke you and make you go all soft and wet. And when we get to know each other better, I'm going to introduce you to a friend.
You're going to get very fond of him and he'll visit you occasionally, well quite often actually, and he'll pop in and check that everything's okay inside. So you have to trust him and let him do his thing which I know will be lots of fun for both of you."
The likelihood of that ever happening was remote because my very existence was total shit. Whoever said, "Life is a bitch and then you die," was talking about me. It wasn't even as if I was repulsive to girls. They would say hello and often walk along with me, but then they would always ask about Maria.
I was sure that I could probably have dated some of them but I was lumbered with a girl who thought that sex was just for making babies.
At that time, I was about to leave college to try to find a job. With my meagre qualifications, what was I going to say in the interview?
"Got a degree?"
"No."
"Any experience in IT?"
"No."
"Ever fucked anybody?"
"No."
Prospects of landing a job; nil.
Added to which I was totally broke and my only asset was a three-year-old moped that I would still be paying for when I was seventy years of age. I didn't smoke, I couldn't afford to drink much and my tennis club subscription was two months in arrears.
My Mum and Dad were great and they had helped me out as much as they could afford, but Dad had a basic job and they had their own lives to live. They were actually proud of me although I could never understand why.
On the other hand, Maria's parents were shining examples to the rest of the local community. He held an executive position with an insurance company and she was involved in just about every local organisation. They were staunch churchgoers and their darling daughter Maria sang in the choir. She was their only child and they treated her like she was a princess. In their eyes she was perfect.
Mrs Anderson was quite pretty. I figured she was close to forty and had nice dimensions. But she was always dressed like she was going to a wake. If she had raised the hem of her dress twelve inches and worn a blouse instead of those drab knitted things, she could have turned a few heads.
Mister Anderson always wore a suit with a waistcoat no matter what day or occasion it was. He had inherited his grandfather's gold watch and chain and was never seen without it. At every opportunity he would lift it from a waistcoat pocket, flick up the lid and announce the time.
He was a councillor and was jointly involved with his wife in the local community. He even sat on the tennis club's executive committee although he never played because he had a suspect heart. He was several years older than his wife.
When Maria took me to her home for the first time, their suspicion of me was palpable. Mrs Anderson even took me to one side and said warningly, "Our daughter is very precious to us so we don't want you leading her astray."
