She was a new girl. Trying out for the freshman's team. Right wing. She had a face like a cherub, lips like a whore, and a body like an angel. She was from Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, somewhere like that. Somewhere foreign. She arrived last week. Her name's Ju Dai. Like all the freshman year she was eighteen, or nineteen, somewhere there, but unlike most of the others -- I blame the college diet -- Ju Dai was absolutely, mouth wateringly, gorgeous. (Though right now, it has to be said, she wasn't at her best. She was lying, face down, in a quagmire of mud in front of goal.)
I didn't move. Not a muscle. This is exactly what I'd been praying for since the game began. (Somebody up there loves me!) I waited. She didn't get up. Two teachers were around her. One was kneeling on the pitch getting her tights wet. The other was standing over her, talking to her, cautioning her -- pointing out that she was getting her tights wet, perhaps? I waited. I said another prayer, Please, whoever is up there, if anyone is, make the luscious little sweetie have to leave the pitch. Make her injured, just a little bit. Somewhere interesting, preferably. Pleeeeeeeease.
The teacher with the now-wet tights came to her feet and shook her head.
Pleeeeeeease, I continued my supplication to any important being who was listening. I'll do anything!
Well, almost anything.
Next thing I know they're helping her off, and I'm heading off, to cut them off. Waddling round the touch-line like it's the hundred meter sprint. Me, Ben Johnson! Whoooaaay!
My name's not really Ben Johnson. (That's just my little joke.) Name's really Sid Devonshire. I'm the groundsman at St Jennifer's Advanced Catholic College for Girls. It's in Suffolk, South West England. Teaches Domestic Science, Secretarial Studies, Flower Arranging, How to snag a husband, Say prayers, Stuff like that. Nice College. Very genteel sort of young lady you get here too, in the main. And sometimes, just sometimes, you get a drop dead gorgeous little honey like Ju Dai. She was an absolute scorcher!
Trust me.
Next thing I know I am waddling at breakneck speed round the back of the goal, so fast I am threatening to slip and land in the quagmire of mud myself! Miss Shepherd has an arm around the injured girl and is heading her towards the changing shed. They've replaced her with another on the team. Twenty minutes to go in the half. "Miss Shepherd!" I call out, breathing hard. "I have the key." I hold it up, to prove it. My waddle, and her cautious tights-sodden gait, and the lithe long legs of the drop dead gorgeous bit of slightly-injured crumpet in her arm, are taking the three of us in the direction of the changing-shed. It is perched at the edge of Blayers Wood. But I have the key ... as I've explained.
Miss Shepherd is coach to the team and so -- or so I am figuring here -- she will want to get back to her game to see how her team fares. It couldn't be better, really.
"I've called Miss Frere," I say, out of breath by the time I catch up. "Should I call the doctor?" I add, going the other side of the shapely piece of injured crumpet and slipping my arm round her waist. "I'll take her. You get back to the game." I gasp this out, trying hard to catch my breath, while trying equally hard to look as if I am something more responsible than I appear: an overweight, underfit, drooling, lusting, grounds-person who is waving this key in air, as if it's a badge of rank. Or something.
I fully expect Miss Shepherd to tell me to piss off; that she will handle things until Miss Frere arrives; that I should get back to the game, in case the goalposts need moving, or something ... but she doesn't. She merely glances over her shoulder at the game, the other team attacking the line rather threateningly. "Well ... I suppose ... if Miss Frere ..." she says, haltingly, eyes on the game, seeing where her team is going wrong.
"Called her already," I lie, again.
But I will.
Call her.
(Later.)
"Okay, Mr Devonshire. If you're sure ..."
And with that she relinquishes her delicious charge into my care. I have one hand with the key aimed at the lock to the changing room shed mere paces away, the other around her incredibly cuddly right wing. I am staring at the lock as hard as I can so that neither of the ladies, young or old, can see how red my face is, or how big my eyes have become, or how much my hand is shaking.
I can hardly get the key in the f***ing lock!
"Thank you, Mr Devonshire," says the coach, unaware of the upheaval in my soul, (there are prayers, you see). And she goes on to say, in a softer tone, "Ju Dai, Mr Devonshire will look after you until Miss Frere arrives. You'll be fine."
"Merci, Miss Shepherd. But I fine, I think," the little cutie says, accent all mangled and foreign-like. "No prob," she goes on, the voice more music than utterance. "I sure I feel better already."
"No, no, no, Ju Dai. Best you go in with Mr Devonshire. You should rest. Wait for Miss Frere. We don't want to take any chances."
"D'accord," or something, the little filly answers. And with that the teacher takes off. "Come on, St Jennifers!" she shouts, returning to the fray.
I get the door open at last. I kick it wide with my foot and ease Lu Dai inside. My arm is firmly round her waist. Once we're inside I kick the door closed. I hear the lock click too. I wonder if she did? (Seems that she didn't.) I head for the treatment table -- massage mainly, so they say. I've never seen it used. It is over by the entrance to the showers. Speed is of the essence here. Speed is what this is about. Speed and keeping the luscious young thing off balance. "On the bench. Face down. Chop! Chop!" I snap, as if I am really important.
She doesn't know me from Adam, of course. She may have seen me around, know my face, but doesn't know who I am. All she knows for sure is that I am MISTER Devonshire, for that's what Sister Shepherd called me. Shepherd and her flock. One little lamb cut out. Wolf in sheep's clothing and all that good stuff. "That's right," I say, as the shapely little dreamboat hops up on the table and my eyes slowly strip her spectacular rump. Jeez, but she has a beautiful Ass! Next thing I know she is face down on the table and I have my right hand wrapped casually around one of the world's most firm, most pert, most shapely buttocks that may ever have existed, even since the dawns of time!
Speed!
It is all about speed.
"Right," I am waffling away, explaining what might be the trouble when she fell, why it should be treated right away, how Miss Frere always relies on me to do the first-phase-damage-limitation, as I call it, though where the hell I got the expression from I have not the faintest idea. My right hand has started, of its own accord, to caress the girlish buttock in my hand: the one within the muddy pleats of her lacrosse skirt. "Just breath deeply," I am saying, "and tell me if it hurts." What the heck I am looking for, I cannot even guess. I hope she can't either.
Both my hands have slipped down her legs and are now cupped over them, just behind the knees, just above the top of her lacrosse stockings. After some 'medical evaluation' of that part of her body, my hands move up her legs. They head towards the pleats of her short lacrosse skirt. The smoothness of her skin is quite awesome. Like warm silk. Smeared here and there with mud. Coated there and here with sweat. My hands are at the hem. "To tests the reflex curvature ..." I am saying, not knowing what that means as I lift the pleats of her skirt out the way.
Just like that!
