Choices.......Part Five

Lilly was up all night thinking about the next day. She was very nervous about being alone with Jim and ditching a whole school day. She wondered what was going to happen, however, in the back of her head she knew. She knew that if she wanted to keep nineteen year old Jim around she would have to go to the next step. Touching. She was afraid there would be more, but Lilly put that thought right out of her head.

Next morning JoAnn and Lilly meet at the park. Lilly was a basket case. JoAnn assured her that he would never do anything she didn't want to do. JoAnn was going over too and that lessened the fear in Lilly, a bit.

Bob showed up in his blue Impala and the girls got in. They stopped at the store for some Strawberry Hill. It was 8:30 in the morning and they were going to drink already. Lilly was rather happy about that. The wine would calm her nerves. And she had the whole afternoon to sober up, before she had to go home. Lilly asked Bob where Jim was and he said he was cleaning their apartment. In reality, he was just getting out of bed.

They trio arrived at the apartment and Jim had the stereo playing. Lilly was feeling very grown up at her boyfriend's "apartment." She liked the way that felt.

The two couples sat around for a while listening to music, talking, laughing and drinking the wine. This time they had more wine than usual. Lilly was feeling very happy and was no longer nervous. JoAnn actually told Lilly that she was nervous and Lilly helped calm her. Told her to have another glass of wine.

About two hours after they arrived, JoAnn and Bob slipped away to his bedroom. Here it was, the big moment she so feared the night before. Jim was very nice to Lilly and asked if she needed anything. Lilly asked for some more wine. He gave it to her and sat down next to her on the couch. They began kissing and she really liked it. Even more than before. He slipped his hand up under her top and tried to push her hand toward his lap. He asked her to go into his room with him. Lilly was ready.

When they got in Jim's room, Lilly wondered why he didn't have any pictures on the walls and tried ask him about it. He put on an Eric Clapton record and told her he didn't want to talk anymore. Lilly was going to say no, but she couldn't resist.

They did it, they had sex. It was painful for Lilly. She didn't enjoy it at all. She felt horrible for giving in and the high from the wine had worn off. She didn't know what to do after they were done either. She was completely out of her league. She started to get up and Jim pulled her back toward him and told her to stay with him for a while. Finally, Jim told her it was time to get up, because he had things to do.

While they were getting dressed, Jim asked her how her first time was. Lilly told him that it hurt and she didn't enjoy it much. Jim told her that she would enjoy it more the next time. He told her she needed to learn what to do and not just lie there. Lilly was very angry and knew the next time, would not be with him.

Lilly would forever hate the song, "I Shot the Sheriff." It played while they were having sex and she would never forget it. Funny, she didn't remember the other songs on the album.

Lilly walked out of the bedroom and slammed the door. She was furious and very embarrassed. JoAnn was in the bathroom and Bob was sitting on the couch. He asked her if she was okay. Lilly said, No, and she told him that she hated Jim for telling her she just laid there. She told Bob she was only 14 and it was her first time and what the hell did Jim expect from her? Bob said he was sorry.

When JoAnn came out of the bathroom, she could see how upset Lilly was and asked Bob to drive them back to the park. They could go to Lilly's house until after school because her parents were at work. They could not hang out in the park for fear of a policeman driving by and picking them up and taking them back to school.

Jim came out of the bedroom all smiles and happy. Lilly didn't even want to speak to him. He grabbed her hand and told her he would like to see her again and tried to kiss her. She told him she never wanted to see him again and pulled away from him. When Jim asked her why? She said Bob could tell him when he got back. But, comeback queen that she was, she got in the last comment. She told him, Next time you have a ninth grader over, maybe you will want to give her a playbook before you take her into your bedroom. She walked out the door with JoAnn and Bob closely behind her.

The drive back to the park was very quiet. Lilly thought JoAnn must have enjoyed herself, because she was sitting very close to Bob and he had his arm around her. They would have to talk, Lilly thought.

Bob stopped at the park and Lilly got out and without saying a word, started walking home. She heard JoAnn tell Bob she had to go. He told her he would call her.
