Chapter 7 – Mystery Man
Sunday November 10
I WAS USED TO WAKING up early, and this was a special morning. Jennie Wesleyan’s glorious naked body was snuggled next to mine. Nature called, so I eased out of bed, took care of business and brushed my teeth. The room was chilly. I quickly got back into our warm bed. I loved to sleep in a cool room with a big comforter. Getting back in bed woke Jennie. She stretched and then leaned over and kissed me.
“Good morning, lover.”
She got up and headed to the bathroom.
“Brush your teeth.”
She looked back and stuck out her tongue. I admired her backside as she went into the bathroom. She came back and crawled on top of me. We made out for a few minutes before she pulled back and looked me in the eyes. I had no idea what she was wanting.
“I wish you went to Wesleyan. I could see waking up every morning like this.”
“You’d be sick of me in no time.”
I think she purred.
“Lover, if you do me like you did last night, you can be as big a douche as Mark and I’d never kick you out of bed.”
“How did Mark keep from being sent back to California?”
“The locals stormed the castle. They couldn’t lose their quarterback if they had a chance to go to State.”
She sat up, still straddling my stomach. I enjoyed the view of her breasts as they swayed when she moved.
She wanted to learn about sex. We spent time talking about what I’d learned. I helped Jennie explore her body and find her G-spot. She was able to give herself an orgasm. When she came to her senses, she suddenly leaped up and tackled me. She rained kisses all over my face and neck.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“I think I just made someone’s day.”
I couldn’t get the goofy grin off my face.
“Someone’s getting a reward.”
She leaned over, got a condom off the nightstand, and opened it. It took her a moment to figure which way it went on. She lifted up my member and sat down, taking me in one stroke. Her hands were on my chest for balance, and her eyes were closed with her head back. This left her breasts swinging free. I reached up and tested their weight in my palms.
She started to ride me. It sent pleasure up and down my manhood as she made love to me. I played with her breasts. I pinched one of her nipples and she moaned. I took my other hand, grabbed the base of her neck, and pulled her down so that I could kiss her. At this angle, she couldn’t move, so I raised my hips and took control of the action. Neither one of us wanted a marathon session. When we were done, she snuggled into my chest and sighed.
Jennie started to tremble, so I wrapped my arms around her as I hushed her softly.
"David, I think I’ve fallen for you,” she said haltingly. Her jaw quivered. “We’re two friends who shared some orgasms and pleasant feelings. Wasn’t that supposed to be all it was? I’m not supposed to fall in love. I can’t love you, and I think you know we shouldn’t. You’re leaving me today, and I won’t see you for I don’t know how long."
Sex changes things. I didn’t care if people say it’s just fun. When you have sex with someone, your feelings change. You can’t help it when you do something that intimate. I needed to fix this before our emotions got the better of us. We were in danger of going somewhere that wouldn’t be good for either of us. If we were both going to the same school, it might be okay. The way things were, we didn’t need to be more than good friends. I needed to refocus Jennie on what was important to her.
“Jennie, I care about you very much, but your instincts are right. We shouldn’t fall in love. Right now, you’re feeling the after-effects of what we’ve done. When I’m not around, that feeling will start to go away. Why don’t we spend the day together and enjoy every moment? When the day ends, there’ll be no regrets. I’ll head home, and you’ll go back to school.”
She had gotten upset when I started to talk but calmed down as I stroked her back and held her in my arms.
“Why has sex never been this way for me before? I’ve been with older guys, and it was nice, but something was missing.”
“I think it’s because we have a connection. Sex is a lot of fun, but it goes to a different level when you care about someone.”
“You’re right. I never thought I was in love with any of them. This morning was actually better than last night for me. I can feel you care about me, and I feel safe. I can just let go. I know you’ll never hurt me.” I felt tears on my chest. “I’m sorry. My period is coming on, and I sometimes get emotional. I know I’m not supposed to, but I love you.”
“Ah, Jennie, it’s okay to love me as long as you don’t fall in love with me. After this weekend, I love you too, but I’m not in love with you. Do you understand?”
“I think so, but all I heard you say was that you loved me. You’re all mine today.”
We heard the door creak open, and Carol snuck in.
“You two look so sexy,” Carol smiled. “If I didn’t love my sister, I’d be all over your cute butt. Now you both have to get out of bed. We’re meeting mother and dad at the country club for brunch. And you, sister-of-mine, have to do the walk of shame and get home and get changed.”
Jennie pulled away from me and got out of bed to find her clothes. Once she was dressed, the two of them left.
I WAS READY WHEN THE girls came back to pick me up. Before she left, Jennie had picked out a specific outfit for me. I had on a pair of silk-blend pants, turtleneck sweater, and sports coat. When I got in the car, she just smiled. She grabbed my hand to claim me. I liked holding hands. It seemed to say ‘I like you’ without having to say it out loud. I think it also made a girl feel safe. I remember my uncle told me that they think back to their childhood when a parent would hold their hand to protect them.
When we got to the country club, it seemed that every man wore a jacket. I was glad that Jennie had decided to dress me. I hadn’t looked forward to meeting Jennie’s mother, but she surprised me.
“Why, you must be David. I’ve heard so much about you.”
She stood and kissed me on the cheek. Jennie’s dad stood and shook my hand.
I walked behind Jennie and helped her sit down. I did the same for Carol before taking my seat. My parents had covered that little bit of etiquette. Lunch was a buffet and had several foods I’d never tried before. Jennie helped me try different dishes she thought I would like. I found I loved shrimp and grits. I wasn’t very excited about duck liver pâté.
“So David, tell me about your family,” Jennie’s mother asked me.
“My mom is a realtor and my dad is a manager for the district parks and rec department. I have one brother who’s a senior in high school. His girlfriend recently had a little boy, and they live with us.”
“A baby must keep you up at night.”
“Well, I have my own apartment, so I get a good night’s sleep. My nephew Kyle is a good baby. I try to take him for a while each day so that my brother Greg and his girlfriend Angie can either nap or spend some time alone together.”
“I wish Teddy felt the same way you do,” Mr. Wesleyan commented. “We could have used the sleep with Carol.”
I was confused.
“Didn’t you have help?”
“I wish, but I didn’t get my trust fund until I was twenty-five. Abigail and I were in college when we had Carol.”
“You and Abigail met in college?”
“Actually, I met Jerald through Teddy,” Abigail answered. “Teddy was my brother’s roommate in both prep school and college. I had the biggest crush on Teddy. Then he was engaged. I was devastated. Teddy invited me to his engagement party where I met his little brother Jerald.
“At first I didn’t like him. Jerald has always been a little intense. I was looking for fun. We were both in Teddy’s wedding. At the wedding, I got a little drunk. Let’s just say that Jerald was intense in other ways that I really liked. We were married the following year. A year later, Jerald was working on his law degree when I found I was pregnant with Carol.”
