My Step-Brother Jacob
Chapter 51
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up early the next morning, and decided to go downstairs and start
a pot of coffee for Grandma and myself. Gently I extricated myself from
under Andy's arm and leg, which were both draped over me. He stirred
slightly, but within a minute, his soft steady snoring resumed. I stood
over him for a moment looking down at him, marveling at how beautiful he
was, and how lucky I was to have him. Once I was able to tear myself
away from staring at my lover, I located my jeans and a T-shirt and put
them on. Then I headed downstairs.
As I descended the stairs, I heard some soft clicking from the keyboard
of the boys' computer, which was in a corner of the livingroom. When I
rounded the bottom of the staircase, I saw that the twins, who were still
in their pajama bottoms and t-shirts, were engrossed in reading something
on the computer screen. Silently I crept up behind them. I peered over
their shoulders and saw that they were perusing their favorite sexual
information site - Jackinworld.com. They were reading an article about a
rather involved masturbatory technique someone had written in to
describe. This caused me to snicker, which in turn caused both boys to
start and yelp in surprise. Scott immediately pressed the "power" button
on the computer as well.
"Calm down! It's only me," I said laughing.
Both boys relaxed when they realized it was me.
"Sheesh! Don't scare us like that!" John complained, as I snickered some
more.
"Sorry, but I just couldn't help myself!," I said, "So you learning
anything 'interesting'?"
Both of them tinged pink in the face, but didn't say anything. I
snickered again and said, "I don't care if you visit 'Jackinworld', but I
don't think Grandma would appreciate it, and she wouldn't appreciate you
going to any other sites she'd consider pornographic! So be careful you
don't get caught! Anyway, if you have any questions, you know you can
always ask me OK?"
"OK," they chorused, grinning.
"So I understand you guys had a little fun with Harry last night?" I
asked.
They both blushed profusely, and looked down then.
"It's OK," I said, "but I want you to remember that Jacob and Harry are a
couple. If you're going to mess with them - make sure you mess with both
of them, not just one of them, OK?"
"OK," they chorused again, still blushing, but smiling up at me shyly.
I mussed their hair, then headed to the kitchen.
* * *
I put on a pot of coffee. Then, I rooted around in the refrigerator,
until I found a couple pounds of bacon and a couple dozen eggs. I pulled
these out and set about starting breakfast. As I was frying up some
bacon, the twins wandered into the kitchen. They got themselves some
cranberry juice, then pulled a couple of bar stools over to the stove,
and sat on them on either side of me.
"What's up?" I asked, after they'd both sat a minute or so, quietly
watching me work.
"Well, we just read something, and wondered if it's true," John said.
"What'd you read?" I asked, as I started flipping the strips of bacon
over.
"Well, it said that guys who have sex together like to lick each other's
assholes, and shove their tongues up each other's butts, and that it
feels really good! Is that true?" John asked.
I snickered and said, "Well, not all guys do it, but some do, and yeah,
it feels really good if someone does it to you!"
"Ew! That's so gross!" Scott exclaimed.
"Do you and Andy do it?" John asked.
Grinning, I said, "sometimes."
"EW!" Scott said again, "aren't you licking each other's shit?"
"NO!" I said, chuckling, "you have to make sure you're good and clean
ahead of time."
"Oh," Scott said.
"I'd like to know what it feels like," John said.
"Well, you'll just have to wait for someone to offer to lick your asshole
then," I said, grinning at him.
They were quiet for a minute, then I noticed the two of them were looking
at one another. I snickered as I looked down and saw that both of them
had erections tenting their pajama bottoms. Both of them tinged red in
the face when they realized I had noticed.
"Uh...I'm gonna go shower," John said in a husky voice, and he got up
holding his hand over his crotch and walked swiftly out of the kitchen.
I glanced down at Scott and saw that he was looking at me with an
embarrassed look on his face. "Does it really feel good?" he asked.
I smiled and said, "Yeah, if it's done right, it feels awesome! And if
you and your partner are both nice and clean, it's not gross at all!"
He gave me a small, embarrassed smile, then got up, and said he was going
to go shower too. Unlike his brother, he didn't try to hide the fact
that he had a hardon, as he walked off.
I snickered and went back to frying the bacon.
* * *
After I'd finished the bacon, I set the table. I was about to start
slicing some rye bread to make toast with, when Jacob and Harry came in,
wearing just their jeans. Their hair was all messy yet from sleeping on
it.
"The twins are hogging the shower," Jacob complained, as he got a glass
of V-8.
"Yeah, and whatever they're doing, they're really enjoying it!" Harry
added, snickering.
I snickered, and said "They'll be out in a bit."
"Yeah, but not until they use all the hot water!" Jacob said ruefully.
"Now you know how I feel about you two sometimes!" I said snickering.
"So how are you two doing this morning after Harry's turn at bat with the
guys last night? Everything OK with you two?"
"We're fine," Jacob said smiling, as Harry blushed, and looked a little
embarrassed. "We've agreed not to do anything with anyone, well except
for you and Andy, if we're both not there."
"Andy and I rate differently?" I asked.
They both grinned then and Jacob said, "It's different because the two of
you are like brothers to the two of us, so while we love you guys, it's
not romantic love, and we both know it won't ever turn that way."
I grinned and said, "I see. That's true. You two are our brothers. We
both love you very much! And you're right, it's not romantic. Even
though I love you both so very much, it's a different kind of love than I
feel for Andy."
"Yeah, that's what I meant," Jacob said, blushing a little.
"You feel the same way Harry?" I asked.
Harry grinned and blushed too, but said "yeah, I love you and Andy a lot,
but I love Jacob in a different way. And we both think it's OK for us to
still be with you and Andy, whether we're both there or not, but not
anyone else. Is that OK?"
I grabbed both of them and hugged them, and kissed them on the forehead.
"It's a perfect way to handle it guys! Andy would agree too!"
"John, do you think it was OK for us to have sex with John and Scott? Or
would you rather we hadn't?" Jacob asked.
"As long as you remember they're both a lot younger than you are, and
you're careful with them, and don't do things with them that they're not
ready to do, or don't want to do, I guess it's OK. I know they think of
you like older brothers, and I think you guys have similar feelings for
them, so I expect anything you get into with them will be OK," I said.
They both smiled.
"You've never done anything with them have you?" Harry asked.
"Nope," I said.
They both looked at me curiously.
I smiled and said, "I know they're cute, but they're a lot younger than
me. Besides, I feel more fatherly toward them, than brotherly. There's
just something about that which makes me want to not do anything with
them. Why? Did they mention it?"
"No," they both said.
"OK then, is that all? I have to finish cooking breakfast!" I said.
They both grinned and told me that was all. I grabbed them both again
and we stood hugging each other for a minute.
* * *
As we were having our group-hug, Grandma walked in, looking half asleep
yet. "Mornin'!" she said, as she padded over to the coffee maker and got
herself a cup of coffee.
"John, you didn't have to cook," she said, as I started toasting some
slices of bread.
"Don't worry about it, no reason you have to do all the work!" I said.
"Well, carry on then, and I'll go get the newspaper" she said, and headed
out of the kitchen.
Andy stumbled past her, into the kitchen, yawning, as I was finishing up
the toast and getting the eggs ready to cook.
"Hmmm, I rather thought it was you two who were in the loo together," he
muttered to Jacob and Harry, as he went to the refrigerator and pulled
out the milk.
"We don't take THAT long!" Jacob shot back at him.
"Yeah, Right!" Andy said, and we both snickered.
"What?" both Jacob and Harry asked in unison, looking at us.
"You two take just as much, if not MORE time in the shower together than
the twins do!" I said, and Andy and I snickered some more, while the boys
both looked annoyed.
Just then we heard the water shut off.
"C'mon! It's our turn next!" Jacob said.
"Not so fast. Let's eat breakfast first," I said, "Besides, it'll give
the hot water tank some time to re-heat.
They both groaned and went and sat down again. Grandma wandered in with
the paper and sat down at the table as well, as I began cooking the
eggs. Andy joined everyone at the table. As I was just finishing the
eggs, the twins walked in. They were dressed and both were smiling
happily. They blushed a little as I winked at them and snickered.
I served up the eggs and sat down to join everyone. It was a pleasant
meal. After we'd finished eating, I sent Jacob and Harry up to shower
and dress, while I had the twins help me clean up the kitchen. By the
time we were done, the shower had shut off already. So Andy and I went
up to shower and dress.
"See? We CAN be quick!" Jacob said, smiling sweetly at us, as they
emerged from the bathroom.
"Yeah, but did you have as much fun as the twins did?" Andy shot back at
him. We both snickered then, as Jacob scowled, but then grinned at us,
and headed for his and Harry's room.
* * *
Andy and I went into the bathroom then, and as I took a shit and Andy
brushed his teeth, I told him about my little conversation with the twins
about rimming, and how they'd quickly come up to shower. He got laughing
and couldn't finish brushing his teeth.
We hopped in the shower together a few minutes later, and as I bent over
to turn on the water, something familiar poked me in the ass. Once the
water was going, I turned and looked down to see the tip of Andy's hardon
twitching in front of me.
Snickering, I said, "and this means you want to....????"
"Follow in the twins' footsteps," Andy grinned.
"Well, let's wash up then," I said, waggling my eyebrows.
I took the bar of soap and reached behind Andy and started soaping his
ass up. He turned around and let me slide the bar of soap between his
cheeks. I rubbed it all over him, then put it down and rubbed him all
over his backside with my hands, making sure to wash his ass crack and
asshole thoroughly. After I'd soaped and fondled Andy's ass throroughly,
I rinsed him off, then I dropped to my knees and parted his ass cheeks.
I stared at his beautiful pink pucker a moment, then dove on it,
attacking it with my tongue.
"OH God!" Andy gasped, as my tongue pressed through his sphincter. He
quickly grabbed the safety bars and pushed his butt back toward me, as I
began fucking in and out of his hole with my tongue.
As I jammed my tongue in and out of Andy's asshole, I soaped my hand up
and reached between his legs and began fondling his cock, which was stiff
as a board.
"Oh!" Andy whimpered, and I felt him begin to move his hips back and
forth.
I began masturbating Andy's cock, as I continued tongue-fucking his
hole. Soon, he was groaning continuously, and I could tell that his
orgasm was beginning to build. I began jerking him off, and
tongue-fucking him a little faster. Within about a half minute, I felt
Andy's body tense up, then with a gasp, his sphincter clamped shut and he
fired a Huge rope of cum against the shower wall. I kept working on him,
and he moaned and spasmed several more times. Finally, he was finished,
and I felt straightening up, so I pulled off him. He stood breathing
heavily, leaning against the wall, looking down at me with a big smile.
"God that was AWESOME!" he said finally, grinning at me.
I smiled up at him and said, "How awesome was it?"
"Change places with me, and let me show you," he said.
Grinning, I stood up and we swapped positions. First Andy washed my ass
thoroughly, then he knelt behind me and began slurping at my asshole with
his big, soft, hot, wet tongue, giving me the same pleasures I'd just
given him. He reached around in front of me and used his soapy hand to
masturbate me, as he began pressing his tongue through my sphincter, and
shortly my cum had joined his on the shower wall, as I stood clutching
the safety bars, gasping. When I was finished cumming, I thought my legs
were going to give out they were trembling so.
After I'd recovered, we rinsed off, then got out and dried off, before
running to Lynn's room, and throwing on some shorts and T-shirts.
* * *
By the time Andy and I were dressed, all four boys were waiting
impatiently for us to leave for the beach. We packed up a cooler with
drinks and some snacks and got our beach blankets, umbrellas, boogie
boards, frisbees, shovels, and other paraphernalia together.
As we were loading it into the car trunk, Scott sidled over to me and
said "so were you and Andy eating each other's butts in the shower?"
I looked down at him, as he smirked up at me. "Were you and John doing
it earlier?" I countered.
He tinged red, but grinned and shook his head 'yes'.
"Like it?" I asked.
"Uh Huh!" he said, still grinning, "So were you doing it too?"
I snickered and said, "yeah Scott, and it was great for us too!"
Grandma came out then and told us she was going shopping, and we should
be home by 6:00 at the latest. I told her we would be. Then she got in
her car, waved, and took off.
* * *
After the car was loaded, we ran in to change into our swim suits.
"Make sure to put on plenty of sunblock too!" I told the boys.
"OK" they all hollered.
Andy and I went into Lynn's room and stripped.
"Want me to do you, and you do me?" I asked. Andy grinned and nodded,
reaching for the bottle of sunblock.
I closed my eyes and pursed my lips, as Andy rubbed sunblock all over my
face. He did my ears, and neck too. Then he started working his way
down my body, doing my shoulders and back, then my sides. He playfully
tweaked my nipples, and ran his hands through my chest hair as he did my
chest, and I felt my dick begin to stiffen. By the time he'd gotten to
my lower back and hips, I was sporting serious wood. Andy squeezed
another handful of lotion. I thought he was going to do my thighs with
it, but he surprised me by lubing my cock with it. Then he began sliding
his hand up and down my stiff rod, as his other hand reached behind me
and he began rubbing my ass.
"Oh God!" I gasped as Andy's middle finger slid down into my ass crack
and his fingertip brushed over my anus.
Andy's hand began flying up and down my slippery cock, and his finger
began rubbing firmly back and forth over my pucker. Content to let Andy
molest me, I closed my eyes and tilted my head back and rested my arm
over Andy's shoulders to steady myself. It had to be less than a minute
before I felt my orgasm beginning to build up. A few seconds later, I
was gasping and moaning as I squirted shot after shot of cum all over bed
sheets.
When I was finally through, I straightened up and opened my eyes, to find
that we had an audience. All four boys were standing in our doorway,
staring at us with wanton looks on their faces. They were all still
naked and each had a hardon, which they were each
fondling, as they watched us.
"What the...?" I said, blushing profusely.
"S-sorry!" Scott said.
"You were kinda loud and we wondered what was going on," John said.
"And you left your door wide open!" Jacob pointed out. He and Harry just
smirked at us, but the twins looked a little uncertain about how I'd feel
about being watched.
I glared at them all for a minute, then finally said, "Well, now that you
all know the proper way to apply sunblock to each other, go do it!"
They all snickered and headed for their rooms then.
Andy apologized for not having shut the door, and shut it. Then he
quickly finished up sunblocking my legs.
When he was finished, I applied sunblock to him too, and made sure he got
off as well.
When Andy and I were done, we opened the door and stepped into the
hallway. We both snickered as we heard some gasping coming from the
twins' room. I noticed that Jacob and Harry's door was wide open though,
and they weren't in there. Andy and I looked at each other, and he
started smirking at me. We leaned against the wall then to wait.
When the twins' door opened a few minutes later, all four boys emerged
with their swim trunks on, and they all looked flushed and happy. They
blushed profusely when they saw the two of us watching them all come out
together.
"Everybody get treated the same as I did?" I asked.
Turning purple, they all just smiled shyly at us. Finally Jacob said
"You have to ask?" We all laughed then.
* * *
Within a few minutes we were all loaded up, and were in the car and on
our way.
As we drove along, I heard Scott whisper "you ask him."
"No! You ask him," John whispered back.
"Guys! One of you ask!" I said.
Looking in the rearview, I saw them both go red in the face.
"What's wrong?" I said.
"Nothing!" they both said.
I eyed them in the rearview, but they both looked upset, so I let it
drop.
* * *
We stopped at City Hall and I bought myself and the guys beach passes.
Then I turned north and headed into Allenhurst.
"How come we're going this way?" Scott asked.
"Well, I have a boogie board, and you guys have boogie boards, but these
guys don't!" I said.
"Exactly what does one do with a 'boogie board'?" asked Andy, looking
puzzled.
"You'll see!" I said, grinning at him, as the twins exuberantly started
proclaiming how much fun they were.
As we headed down Main Street in Allenhurst, I stopped at Spellbinder's
Surf & Snow shop.
"C'mon! Let's all run in and see what they have!" I said.
About 20 minutes later we left the store. Andy, Jacob, and Harry each
had a new boogie board, and everyone had new T-shirts. I'd also picked
up more sunblock and some Solarcaine, as the sun seemed to be beating
down brightly.
* * *
Shortly we arrived at the beach, and I found a parking spot along the
street that ran up to the beach where we'd said we'd meet the guys. We
all piled out of the car, and I unloaded our stuff. I loaded Andy, Jacob
and Harry down and told them to head down the path through the dunes and
see if they could find the guys. I held the twins back.
As I handed them things to carry, I said, "OK so what do you need to ask
me?"
They both looked at me and blushed again.
"Well?" I asked.
Finally, after they'd both squirmed a few seconds John blurted out "Do
guys always cum as much as you did back at the house when Andy was
lotioning you?"
I felt myself blush, and looked at him a couple seconds, then I chuckled
and said, "some guys do, some don't. I've been told I cum a lot, I don't
know as I cum that much more than other guys though. How come you ask?"
"Neither one of us cums as much as you do," Scott said, looking at me
sadly.
I snickered and said, "Well, you're younger and smaller than me, so
you're not supposed to cum as much, at least not till you're older and
bigger. How much cum do you shoot?"
"I don't know, maybe a few globs like this," John said, and he made a
small circle with his thumb and forefinger to show me the size of the
globs of cum he usually shot.
I grinned and said, "That's plenty for a guy your size, so don't worry
about it, OK?"
"OK," they both said.
"Anymore questions?" I asked.
"No," they said together.
"OK, then let's hit the beach!" I said.
We picked up the last of our things and locked up the car and headed for
the dunes.
* * *
The beach wasn't very crowded yet, despite the hot, sunny weather. So
when we got out on it and looked around, we easily spotted the guys
waving to us, about a hundred yards to our right. No sooner had we
joined them than the twins had dragged Jacob and Harry off, with their
boogie boards, to the swimming area near the lifeguards.
"Well, that's the last we'll see of them for a while!" I said, chuckling.
"Hey Horse! Hey Whizzer!" Steve called, walking up to us from the
water's edge.
Trailing behind him was a tall, thin, good-looking guy, who appeared to
be our age. He was very tan, and had short bleach blonde hair. I
wondered if it was his natural color or not. His eyebrows were the same
color, but I noticed he had a sexy dark brown treasure trail that ran
downward from his navel, disappearing into his swim trunks. The hair in
his armpits was a sandy color. He smiled pleasantly as he approached
us.
"Hey Bone!" I said, as he reached us and we bumped fists. He and Andy
bumped fists as well.
Pete, Mitch and Craig all gathered around as well. I was surprised, but
happy to see Jeremy hiding behind Craig. We all said Hello to each
other, then Boner pulled his blond friend forward and said, "Horse, Whiz,
I'd like to introduce you to a new friend of our's. He just moved up
here from down in Spring Lake. This is Julian Feinstein. We call him
'Jewels'. Jewels, this is John Wilder and Andy MacDoogle. Better known
as 'Horse' and 'Whizzer'."
"Or 'Walnut', we call Whizzer 'Walnut' sometimes too!" Mitchell added,
snickering.
"Pleased to meet you guys! Um, why 'Whizzer' or 'Walnut'?" Julian said,
as he shook hands with Andy.
Andy blushed, and before he could answer Mitch snickered again and said,
"cause he has to pee right away after only one beer!"
Everyone laughed, as Andy stood there smiling, but blushing profusely.
"And 'Horse'?" Julian asked, looking at me.
Craig chuckled and said, "that's cause he's hung like a horse!"
Everyone laughed again.
"So Julian, why are you called 'Jewels'?" Andy asked.
Julian blushed and was about to say something, but Boner burst out "it's
because his prick's really tiny, but he makes up for it with HUGE
balls!"
Everyone roared, as poor Julian turned red in the face and hollered,
"Hey! My prick is NOT tiny!"
"Compared to Horse's it sure is!" Boner teased, laughing even harder.
"See, I've known these assholes for years! So it's hard to get rid of
them. What I wonder though is, WHY would someone like you, who's only
known them a short while, stick around and take all their abuse???" I
said.
Everyone laughed some more, especially Julian, who grinned at me when he
finally got control of himself. "I keep asking myself that all the
time," he said, still chuckling.
"So seriously, why are you called 'Jewels'?" Andy asked again.
"Well, my mom started it, because of my name. You know - Julian -
Jewels. Besides that, my last name means 'fine stone' - which could be a
jewel," he said.
"See, even your own mama knew back then that you had 'fine stones'!"
Boner hooted, and everyone laughed again.
"God! You guys are worse than ever!" I said.
"HEY!" Pete yelled, "Boner might be! Don't go lumping us with him
though!"
We all laughed again.
"Well, welcome to our motley crew!" I said to Julian.
"Thanks," Julian said.
There was a lull then, during which Boner looked at me and seemed to
hesitate a moment.
"What?" I asked.
"Uh...well...Julian's a pretty good guitar player," Steve said.
Everyone became silent and looked at me. I glanced around at them.
"And?" I said.
"Well, we were wondering if maybe we should ask him to play with us once,
to see if he'd fit into the band?" Steve said.
"I see," I said, "Sure. Why not? Um, maybe we can get together tonight
or tomorrow and jam a little."
Steve and the rest of the guys smiled then.
"Am I the only one who hasn't heard him play?" I asked, eyeing them.
"I haven't heard him yet," Pete said.
"Me either," Craig said.
"I have. Boner's right. He's really good!" Mitchell said.
"OK, what about tomorrow afternoon?" I asked.
Everyone said they could make it, so we agreed to get together at 3:00 at
Turkey's house.
* * *
Boner changed the subject then and involved us all in setting up a volley
ball court.
As Pete and Mitchell were unrolling the net, Julian sidled up to me and
asked me if he could have a word with me, and motioned for me to walk
down the beach with him. I followed him, and he stopped a little ways
away from the guys. I saw Boner look up and say something to the others,
who all looked in our direction. They looked away abruptly when they saw
I'd noticed.
"I'm sorry if they sprung that on you," Julian said, "I know about Mike.
They told me about him, and that he was your best friend. If you'd
rather not have me join you guys, just say so, and I won't."
I smiled at Julian and said, "They just caught me by surprise, that's
all. Besides, if you're nice enough to say what you just said, I expect
you're a pretty nice guy, so I think it'd be great if you joined us
tomorrow. And, I'm curious to see just how good you are! Boner's pretty
hard to impress, so you must be good!"
I winked at Julian, who smiled then and thanked me.
"No problem," I said, "C'mon, looks like they're gonna start a game."
We ran back to the group. They all looked up, and seeing our smiles,
grinned.
* * *
As they went back to haggling over teams, I noticed that Craig and Jeremy
were standing off to the side, with their backs toward us, deep in
discussion. They kept glancing toward me though. Andy noticed too and
nodded in their direction. So, when they weren't looking, I sidled over
to them. They both jumped when I put a hand on each of their shoulders.
"Jeremy, why don't you and I go take a little walk. I want to talk to
you. That's all!" I said.
Craig smiled, but Jeremy looked very nervous.
"C'mon," I said, nodding sideways with my head and heading toward the
shoreline.
"Where ya going?" Turkey called.
"Be right back. Put us on opposite teams and we'll join in shortly," I
hollered.
We walked silently a couple minutes, then finally I said, "Are you still
scared of me?"
"No...Yes...no...well... maybe a little," Jeremy said, glancing sideways
at me.
"Don't be," I said, "I'm not a violent person, unless someone tries to
hurt my family or friends. You hurt Craig, so I had to get rough with
you! Craig assures me you've been a great guy ever since. So it's
over! You don't have to be scared of me anymore."
Jeremy stopped walking. I stopped and looked at him.
"I never meant to hurt him! You have to believe that John!" he said, his
eyes watering, "I don't know why I didn't stop when he told me to that
day. I love Craig. I can't believe I was capable of hurting him like
that! I do know I'll never let anything like that happen again though!"
A tear rolled out of Jeremy's eye and down his cheek. He flinched
slightly, as I reached out and wiped the tear from his cheek with my
thumb. I smiled and held the side of his face in my hand a moment.
"I believe you Jeremy, and I trust you now. It's time we stop dwelling
on the past. It's time to focus on the future. Craig's a close friend
of mine. We're like brothers. He loves you! He'd like us to be
friends. I believe him when he says you're a good guy now, so I'd like
to try and be friends with you, OK?" I said.
Jeremy put his hand over mine, as it rested against his cheek and jaw,
and he held it there.
Smiling he said, "I'd really like that John! Craig can't say enough nice
things about you, and I'd really like to be friends with you!"
I grinned and pulled Jeremy toward me.
"I think we're gonna end up being really good friends," I said, and gave
him a hug.
Jeremy hugged me back and said, "I'd really like that!"
We parted and looked at each other grinning a minute, then I said, "Why
don't we go join that volleyball game then?"
"OK," He said smiling at me.
We walked back to the group then. Jeremy joined the team Craig was on,
and I joined the one Andy was on. Craig couldn't stop grinning at both
of us.
It was a great game of volleyball. Our team won, but by only one point
at the last minute.
* * *
As we were taking a break between games, we suddenly heard a few girls
screaming "Hi Boys!" from behind us.
Turning we saw several girls from school. Among the group was Jenny, who
came bounding over to me.
"Damn it to hell," I heard Andy mutter under his breath. I winked at
him, as he gave me an annoyed look.
"John!" Jenny cried and ran up to me smiling, and gave me a big long hug,
as the guys all smirked at me.
"Hi Jenny. How are you?" I asked.
"I'm fine! How are you?" she replied.
"I'm good thanks. You remember my friend Andy, don't you?" I said.
"Of course! Andy! How are you?" she bubbled, and gave him a hug as
well, much to his dismay.
"I'm fine thank you Jenny," he said.
"Do you mind if I steal John for a few minutes?" she asked.
Andy looked at me blinking, and finally said, "um, sure, whatever."
The next thing I knew, Jenny was dragging me off down the beach. I
turned and winked at Andy, who looked rather non-plussed.
"What's up Jenny?" I asked, as we walked along in the surf.
"Nothing really, I just wanted to spend a little time alone with you.
It's been so long since we've had any time to talk, just the two of us,"
she said.
"Oh," I said, "Well, what's going on with you?"
"Um, not a lot, same old, same old, studying for exams, and oh yeah, I
got a job for the summer waitressing at the Perkatori Cafe!" she said.
"That's great Jenny!" I said.
"Will you be moving back home now that school's out, and you're 18 and
all?" Jenny asked.
"No. I know that had been my original plan when I left, but then Dad
died, and just before he died, my stepmother got pregnant. She has no
one other than my stepbrother, so I'm going to be staying to help them
out. Besides, London's kind of grown on me. I didn't think it would,
but it did. I'll be back for visits though," I said.
"Oh," she said, sounding disappointed, "I'd hoped you'd be back."
"Well, I'm here for a while now and we'll be seeing a lot of each other.
I'll be in school till the end of classes, and I'm going on the DC trip.
Schiavo even said Andy could come with us on that. And I'll be at the
ball, and picnic, and graduation, and all the parties." I said.
"Y-you're going to the ball?" she asked, perking up a little.
"Uh, yeah, I am," I said.
"Oh," she said, "Are you bringing someone?"
I looked at her a moment. Then, before I said anything, she burst out
with, "I'm bringing a cousin of mine, but he's only a stand-in, he's not
a real date. If you don't have a date - I could tell him I don't need
him to come, and we could go together!"
I thought a moment, then I said "Jenny, there's something I need to tell
you."
"What?" she asked.
"Jenny, I'm involved with someone. It's someone I love very much, and
intend to spend the rest of my life with." I said.
Jenny couldn't hide her disappointment, and even wiped her right eye with
the back of her hand.
"I'm sorry Jenny. I love you as a friend, but I don't love you
romantically. You're a wonderful girl and you deserve to find a nice
guy, and I'm sure you will." I said.
"Thanks John. I pretty much figured you'd have found someone in
England. Is she pretty? What's her name?" Jenny said.
I thought a minute, then decided I might as well tell her, since she'd
find out at the ball anyway. "Um, this might come as a bit of a
surprise, but the person I'm in love with isn't a girl. It's a guy.
See...I'm bisexual. To answer your questions, yes, he's quite handsome,
and you already know him, it's Andy."
Jenny stopped and stood stock still, staring at me, not even blinking as
a wave crashed against the back of her legs. Finally, she said, "You're
in love with a GUY?"...
