Gina and Mike by Buffy Andrews Page B

Jack-ster.”
    “Dang! Mom will go parental on me. She hates cheaters. Every time I try to cheat in Monopoly, she catches me.”
    “But wouldn’t you rather be the one to tell her and not your teacher?”
    Jack sighed. “I suppose. I wish I could start today over.”
    I rubbed the top of Jack’s head. “Some days are like that, bud. It’s called life.”
    Jack shifted in his seat. “Oh, forgot to tell you. Mom said that you should go to your high school reunion.”
    “Oh, yeah? How does she know about that?”
    “She ran into someone who went to school with you and they mentioned it. Mom said she hopes that you go; something about Gina.”
    “She mentioned Gina?”
    “Yeah. Who’s Gina?”
    “Just someone I went to school with?”
    “Was she your girlfriend?”
    “Yeah.”
    “Was she hot?”
    “Jack!”
    “Just asking if she was hot, dad. Geez.”
    “Yes, she was pretty.” I looked at Jack. “OK, Hot. She was pretty hot.”
    I dropped Jack off at Lisa’s and went home. I picked up the reunion invitation and read it again. Oh, what the hell. Guess I’ll go. Even if I don’t stay for very long, as least I can say I went. And it might be nice to see some of the old gang again. Most of them moved away after high school.

    Gina
     
     
    Every day, I’d run after work and I’d look for Rob. I felt like a pathetic teenager with raging hormones, but I wanted to see if I felt that tingle again or if it was just a freak thing. I call the tingle The Mike Effect.
    I’ve been with a few guys since Mike, and none of them made me feel the tingle.  We had OK sex, but nothing that wowed me like when I was with Mike. Even the first time Mike and I did it, it wasn’t as bad as most of my friends had told me it would be. We were both virgins, and Mike was so gentle.
    I remember the night so well. You never forget the night you lose your virginity. We were under our make-out tree on his sleeping bag. We were all over each other, and I felt like I was going to die I wanted him so badly. My body quivered and I felt his hardness against me. I couldn’t take it anymore. I pulled him toward me.
    “Gina, baby, are you sure?” Mike asked, stopping to hold my face still so he could look me in the eyes and see that I really meant what I was guiding him to do.
    “Yes, please. I want to.”
    “God, baby, I love you.” And Mike was kissing me in places I never knew could bring me so much pleasure.
    He grabbed the condom he had brought, just in case, and I heard it rip open.
    “I don’t want to hurt you, baby. If I am, please tell me and I’ll stop.”
    Mike eased his way into me all the while kissing me and telling me how much he loved me and wanted me. I felt a little pang but it didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. Mike came so hard I thought he was hurt. And it was the first and only time I didn’t have an orgasm. After that, things got pretty incredible pretty fast and sex with Mike was like a drug I could never get enough of.

    I was about ready to give up on Rob when he and Molly turned the corner. I saw Molly’s head before I saw Mike.
    My pink shirt was soaked with sweat and I was sure I reeked, but I stopped to whisper a breathless hello.
    “Whoa, Molly!” Rob pulled slightly on Molly’s leash so she would stop. “I was hoping to see you here.”
    I wiped the sweat off my forehead with my running towel. “Really?”
    “Yeah, I … I wondered if you’d like to get coffee sometime.”
    I huffed. “Coffee?”
    “Yeah.”
    “I’m more of a tea girl.”
    Rob laughed. “OK. Tea for you and coffee for me.”
    I huffed. “When?”
    “Is tonight too soon?” he asked. “I’m headed out of town tomorrow.”
    “Sure. Tonight’s great. When and where?”
    “Nine at the diner on the corner of Park and Roosevelt?”
    I nodded.  “See you then.”
    I picked up speed and ran as fast as I could the rest of the way home. I couldn’t
