Letter One:
I Did This
I remember the night I met Lady Louise; it started with a wicked idea.
"She fell asleep, didn't she?" I whispered over the darkness.
You looked at me, then at your girlfriend under the plaid red blanket of your bed. You smirked.
"Of course she did. She hid under the covers for most of the movie, might as well make herself comfortable." You laughed, throwing off half of the covers. Your legs were getting too hot. I could almost feel the heat rising from the bed. I was sitting at the other end of it after all.
"We didn't have to watch Saw," I smiled. "She's been easily freaked since we were kids." I knew this of course, but I also knew she wouldn't risk looking weak in front of you, especially not when I was there. So when I suggested it, we were watching it, no matter what.
"Well, you would know, you're her best friend."
"And you're her boyfriend..." I smiled. You should know I had perfected that smile, not just for you. I practiced it in my bathroom mirror until the glint in my eye reflected back to me, until the dimple in my cheek looked so indented it nearly looked carved in. However, I will admit I perfected it for a night like this.
And you invited me.
I couldn't believe it. Darlene said it was your idea, and she had—I remember the joy I felt to this very hour—the smallest whiff of jealousy in her voice when she told me you wanted me there. You wanted me...
You caught my smile; of course you did, and looked away—at the glowing television screen, at the Hendrix poster hanging on the wall, at anything else...except me.
It was working.
I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror hanging on the back of her door and suddenly felt how easy it would be. Every glow in the room seemed to amplify what everyone since has called my "supple beauty". My breasts were cast in the pale glow of the movie trailer, my face lit up by the warm red glow of the lava lamp, flushed and youthful. I sat with my knee up, my denim skirt stretched across my thighs, and in between my knee swinging from left to right, I watched you stare at my pink panties underneath—pink with a little dark spot.
All I needed was the right lie.
"You know me and Darlene used to be really close," I began, biting my nails. "We even, um, experimented with each other I guess." I laughed; this caught your attention. Boys are all the same.
"You mean like..." You let your face finish the thought.
"Yeah, I mean, like that," I rolled my eyes. "In college, I had this boyfriend, if you could call him that. He liked it rough; he'd fuck me in the back of his van every day and because he was my first, I didn't know any better. I lost it to him humping me like a dog foaming at the mouth, imagine that...thank God it would always only last, like, two minutes..." I rolled my eyes again, actually annoyed at the memory, even then. Now, I've been trained to kill a man like that by Lady Louise. At eighteen, I just wanted to be wanted. But that night, and for years leading up to that night, all I wanted was you.
You shifted to hide your boner.
You could imagine it, couldn't you? The Daphne sitting in that bedroom with you was cherry-haired and reckless; sitting on a reputation of sticky summer night fumbling's with the Mississippi State football team. You knew of me through Darlene even if you didn't know me; but once upon a time, I was shy and downy, freckled and untouched.
I wanted you to imagine it—deeply.
I wanted you to imagine my hair swinging back and forth over my face. Imagine every freckle on my body, how my flesh would turn soft and pink when all the heat rose to the surface as I tried to hold my breath, wincing but trying not to show that virgin pain. And my titties finally grew in that semester. The girls said I had a boob job and the guys didn't seem to care. I was always skinny and pale and suddenly I had two milky breasts bouncing off my chest begging to be squished together and sucked on until they turned black and blue and pink. And for a long time I would let them in the parking lot... all those dry humping, backseat titty sessions that would leave them with sticky pants because I wanted to wait for you. I was sure you noticed me, that you were just waiting for the right time--
Then Darlene brought you home.
Imagine the heartbreak. No...imagine me. I wanted you to imagine me the way I imagined you. You always had me by the hips, fucking me with every inch of your dick that Darlene made sure to brag about. She knew I liked you. But I knew from friends of friends that you favored breasts like mine, and Darlene's tits looked like two little plastic bag tips filled with water. Nothing. She had nothing. And I... You couldn't stop staring at my breasts that night. I loved it.
I squinted as if to see inside your head. What were you thinking that night, Peter Hyde? I knew you would give your soul to see my tits bouncing in your face. You'd give anything to grab them. My top had a silver zipper going down the front; it would've been so easy. I toyed with the zipper. I felt so wet; your huge dick would've punctured me, wounded me probably. You would've had to hold my legs open...what were you thinking that night, Peter Hyde? Was it really for them?
"What are you thinking?" I asked. I broke. I had to know.
"Uh, just how much that must've sucked for you," You said, snapping back to reality.
Sure.
"Yeah," I said, sighing, resigning. "Fuck Bobby."
"Bobby? Bobby...Bowman?"
"Yeah?" My eyes got wide and I quickly covered my mouth with my hand to stifle my shock. "You know him?"
"Yeah, he's my brother's best friend. Fucking douchebag." But there was something about you. I couldn't quite place it then—a sudden guilt.
"He is!" I whispered excitedly, still stunned at the coincidence without recognizing it's true nature. I let it go. I wasn't focusing on Bobby Bowman, not when I was so close. "But anyway, Darlene would help me. She would..." Suddenly, against my will, I started blushing and giggling. You laughed. I know you never thought you'd see a shred of innocence left in me. I didn't realize I had much left myself.
