Chapter Two
The Real First Time
"Ugh!" Jessica sighed almost a week later, on Friday morning as she
rushed around her room, failing to locate her white mini. She'd wanted to
wear it that day because Jeremy was picking her up after school and she
wanted to look good. "Where the hell could it be?" she muttered,
riffling through her closet.
Fifteen minutes later, Jessica had found her skirt, changed, and done
her makeup. She was currently working on her hair when she heard a knock
on the door. Before she could say anything, Melissa had walked in and
over to her.
"Hey Jess!" She chirped, smiling at her friend.
Jessica was slightly shocked. "Hey Melissa. What are you doing here?"
she asked, confused.
Melissa rolled her eyes. "Um, hello? Don't you remember calling me last
night and asking for a ride to school today? I just got her early so your mom
let me in."
Oh. Yeah, Jessica remember. The Jeep wouldn't start, and her dad had
said something was wrong with it. "Yeah, now I remember."
"You look great." Melissa said, handing Jessica a clip. "Jeremy is going to be
drooling."
Jessica laughed. "No, I don't think so. My honey is a little more
sophisticated then that." She kissed her finger and touched it to the framed
picture of Jeremy that was sitting on her dresser.
Melissa rolled her eyes, but smiled anyway. "You're lucky to have Jeremy.
He's so sweet."
"And sexy, and handsome, and caring, and wonderful…"
"And shut up before you make me jealous." Melissa cut in laughing, then
looked at the clock. "And if we want to be at school in time, I think
that we had better leave."
*********************************************************
Conner cursed under his breath as he walked to his car after school on
Friday afternoon. If he didn't get his butt moving, he was going to be
beyond late for work. "This has to have been the worst day of my life."
Conner muttered as he unlocked the Mustang, throwing his book bag in
the passenger seat.
That morning, Elizabeth had felt so sick that Conner's mom had refused
to let her go to school. Conner had managed to leave his calculus,
English, and physics homework laying on his desk at home, as well as his
draft for creative writing, which he'd scribbled out during passing
period. In English he got a lecture on Mr. Collins homework policy, and a
C-minus on the paper that would account for half his second semester
grade. He'd done even worse on his last creative writing assignment. And to
top it all, he was late for work.
Making the turn off for the Valley Mall, Conner sighed. The last thing
he wanted to do was work the five hour shift at Music Stop. He was
exhausted, the night before, Elizabeth had thrown up repeatedly. No matter
how hard she'd tried to be quiet, Conner had heard her and usually come
in and checked on her. So when he got home he'd also have to deal with
a girlfriend that was probably in a bad mood.
Hurrying inside, Conner pushed that thought out of his head. He loved
Elizabeth more than anything, but she wasn't fun to be around when she
felt bad. That's when Conner saw the long line that was creeping out the
door of Music Stop. It was going to be a long night.
Later that evening, Jessica was trying her hardest not to giggle at her
boyfriend's eating habits. Jeremy had picked her up from school, then
they'd spent some time around his house, making out, and now were eating
at a little Italian restaurant about forty five minutes up the coast.
Jeremy was having a little trouble mastering the talent of not letting
his spaghetti hand out of his mouth.
Finally she couldn't take it, and let loose a few short giggles. Jeremy
blushed. "I'm not laughing at you," Jessica said, smiling, "It's just
you're so cute when you do that."
The comment made Jeremy blush even more. "Thanks a lot, Jess." He said,
pretending to be mad.
Jessica laughed, and took a bite out of her fettuccine alfredo. "You're
very welcome." She teased, leaning over the table and giving him a kiss
on the cheek. "You know I only tease you because you're cute when you blush."
Jeremy rolled his eyes. "You're so weird." He smiled. "But I like it
that way."
Jessica stuck out her tongue. "You should talk. You're the weird one in
this relationship."
Thirty minutes later, the couple had finished dinner and decided to
take a walk along the beach before driving back to Sweet Valley. By the
time they'd walked outside, the sun had just started to set.
"So," Jeremy asked, taking her hand and guiding her toward the shore.
"What are your plans this weekend?"
Jessica leaned her head against his shoulder. "Well, my parents are out
of town this weekend." She said, smiling.
Jeremy pulled her back. "You're kidding, right?"
"No," she said, confused.
Jeremy laughed. "So are mine." He took her hand again. "And Emma and
Trish are staying with our grandparents."
Jessica let out a quick squeal of delight. "Well, I think my plans are
going to be to spend it with you." she said coyly.
"Oh, was that a come on?" Jeremy shot back.
"You bet."
Elizabeth slowly walked down the stairs to the kitchen, and checked the
time on the grandfather clock. It was almost eight thirty, which meant
Conner would be home soon. She'd noticed that he'd left some of his
homework at home, and she also knew that he hadn't gotten much sleep the
night before. Her fault, actually, but Elizabeth figured he'd be tired
and in need of some time alone with her. That was how things usually
worked out when he'd had a long shift on Friday nights.
Walking over to the refrigerator, Elizabeth opened it and pulled out a
can of diet Coke. At that moment, she heard the front door swing open.
A few seconds later, Conner appeared, giving her a hug and a quick kiss.
"Hey baby." He said, kissing her again. "How are you feeling?
"Oh, better, but still not great." Elizabeth said as he pulled her in
close to him. She rested her head on his shoulder. "So, how was your day?"
Conner pulled back from her, but kept his arms around her. "Pretty bad."
"Pretty bad?" she asked, looking up into his emerald green eyes.
Conner shrugged. "I forgot some of my homework, and got some bad grades
in English and creative writing."
Elizabeth frowned. "I'm sorry sweetie. I know you've been pretty stressed lately."
Conner let go, smiling. "It's okay. This late in the year it's not
going to do much." He let go of her, and took her hand instead. "Now, do we
have any food around here? I haven't eaten since lunch."
*******************************************************
Jeremy looked up at Jessica, admiring the way her skimpy, silver bikini
accented her perfect figure. After dinner, they'd decided to go back to
her house and swim in the Wakefield's pool. At the moment, she was
about to dive off their diving board.
He felt the water splash against his face as she entered the water. A
few seconds later she emerged and swam over to him, where he was
standing in the shallower water. Jessica pushed her feet on the bottom,
wrapped her arms around his neck, and gave him a firm kiss.
"So," she asked when she pulled back, "Was that good?"
Jeremy stared deeply into her blue green eyes, his mind still swimming
from the kiss. "What? Your dive or the kiss?" he asked, placing his
hands on her hips and pulling her closer.
"The dive, stupid." She said, rolling her eyes.
"Very nice Jess." He said, leaning in to kiss her again. "I'd give it a
nine." Then Jeremy got a teasing look in his warm brown eyes. "The kiss
too."
Jessica put her hands flat on his chest, and pushed him under. When he
emerged a few moments later, she laughed. "Cute Aames. Very cute."
"I know."
Jessica smiled, but then a cool breeze chilled her. Otherwise, the
night in late February was warm and comfortable. "It's getting cold. Why
don't we get out and go inside?" Jeremy nodded, taking her hand and
pulling her toward the swim ladder. Once out, he tossed her one of the
towels they'd brought out.
After they were semi-dry, the couple walked back into the Wakefield's
house. Jessica saw that it was just after ten o'clock. "Do you need to
shower?" she asked Jeremy once they were up in her room.
One the way home from the restaurant, they'd stopped by Jeremy's house
to get some of his stuff. Since their families were out of town,
Jessica had asked Jeremy if he wanted to stay at her house, and he'd happily
agreed.
"No," he answered, "I'm good."
Jessica nodded. "I don't think I'm going to either." She walked over to
her dresser and pulled out her baby doll nightie. "I'm just going to
put on my nightclothes. You can too."
Jeremy nodded, and grabbed his bad from where he'd dropped it on her
messy floor. "Okay. Now about tonight…" he smiled. "Where do you want me
to sleep?"
Jessica giggled. "Well, I guess you can sleep in Steven's room… but I
sure wouldn't mind if you slept in here."
Jeremy nodded, grinning. He grabbed his bag and walked toward her
bathroom. "I'll change in here, okay?"
Jessica nodded. "Sure."
Five minutes later, Jessica had taken off her bikini and changed into
her nightgown, when Jeremy stepped out of the bathroom in his boxers and
a white t-shirt. Amazing, she thought, he can even looks good in his
boxers. She walked over to her bed and sat down, and he sat down next to
her
Almost immediately, Jeremy pulled her into his lap, and began kissing
her. Jessica quickly became lost in his kisses, and then felt his hand
slid up on her thigh. A moment later, they fell back on Jessica's bed.
In her mind, Jessica thought about what they would happen if they
didn't stop. It was almost inevitable. She knew she was ready to take that
step, and Jeremy was the one she wanted to take it with.
