Point Place, WI
Today is the wedding between Eric Forman and Paige AllenAugust 19, 2006 (Saturday)
5:45AM
Eric Forman was sleeping soundly. The rings were in his son's possession, the
tuxedo hung on the closet hook in a garment bag, and his fiancée left the house early
to get started on her odyssey of marrying the man of her dreams.
Jacen was up since four thirty in the morning. He helped Paige get all of her things
together as they waited for her boss/maid-of-honor Dina to pick her up in her beat up
2000 Toyota. Jacen looked just like Eric did when he was a young man. He was
slender but due to the weights he lifted in gym class no one was ever going to call
him scrawny and he was going to eventually be taller than his father.
Jacen wanted to start his own family tradition. He filled the mop bucket with mild
soapy water. It was lemon scented from the dish soap he squirted in as he headed
to Eric's room.
The morning sun was starting to peek through the semi open blinds as Jacen lifted
the pail into the direction of his father's sleeping body.
"Good Morning, Dad!"
SPLASH!
It was better than any alarm clock.
"J-Ja-a-cen!"
"Surprise! Someone's getting married today!"
Eric smiled, "You are SO going to get it later." He wiped his face with the purple
towel that Jacen tossed over.
"I just wanted to add to today's memories."
"And you can do so by cleaning up this mess."
Jacen laughed, he had the smile of his father. "Of course, Dad. What do you want for
breakfast today?"
Eric got out of the wet bed. He thought of Paige and his head happily swirled.
"I'm too nervous to eat."
"Dad, you have to eat. Dina is taking Paige to Denny's. I'll make you homemade
waffles with peach syrup."
"I don't think Paige is going to eat much either."
"All the more reason for you to."
"Is that supposed to mean something, Jacen?"
"Think about it," he winked, "I'll see you in a bit, Dad."
Eric laughed.
Even though he was soaking wet thanks to his son adding to the memories of the
day, Eric went over to the corner shelf that housed a stupid x-wing fighter model that
he made post-Donna but pre-Paige and he threw it under the bed. That light tan
triangular shaped nook was not for models of fictional spaceships anymore. That
nook was reserved for their real framed wedding picture.
6:15AM
Paige couldn't eat her omelet. All of that oozing cheese was making her feel
nauseous. She was too nervous to eat. She waited semi patiently for this day to
arrive ever since she was an afraid little girl in small town America. It was her
wedding day. It wasn't a day of compromise or convenience. It was day of long wish
fulfillment realized. She finally found her soulmate. Yes, it was corny, and many
people would hate them for having a love so true but she found her reason for living.
The feminist lie that Donna Pinciotti was passing on to her two daughters was that
you didn't need a man to feel complete. No, a fish may not have needed a bicycle,
and you could go your whole life working in an ivory tower and never experience one
ounce of love and life. Why would any one deny themselves of true, everlasting love?
Eric. Her beautiful Eric Forman. Paige felt her eyes water as she put her hands
around her orange juice glass. The only real dream she ever had in her life was
about to come true in less than eight hours.
"P-Paige…"
She was snapped out of her thoughts, but not from Dina who was not at the table
with her.
"J-Jackie. What are you doing here?"
Their last words were not very kind. Jackie and Paige bickered all the way from
Paige chasing her car to the side of the road and Jackie's desire that she would
rather lie on the street than to go into Paige's car to the hospital. Where they
continued to verbally spar until she was admitted.
"May I sit down?"
"I suppose. Where did Dina go?"
"She went home. You'll see her later at the church." Jackie took off her peach
colored blazer and placed it over the chair.
"This is my wedding day and I'm in no mood. My dress---"
"Is in my car along with the rest of your stuff."
"Why? We don't exactly like each other."
"I know. I can't stand you either, Paige. This is my gift to you and Eric. So you better
eat your omelet," Jackie replied as she flagged a waitress down for some coffee
and a cherry Danish.
To bring a tiny piece of peace in the valley was Jackie's gift to the both of them.
10AM
"Dad," Jacen knocked on the closed bathroom door already dressed up in his
tuxedo with the aforementioned lavender matching bow tie and cummerbund.
"Mr. Harvey said that everything is going fine. The limousines are leaving the Peach
Street facility right on schedule. If Paige is getting picked up in a limousine how
come we have to take our sensible car to the church?"
"Because my last name is not Gates."
"Can I open the door?"
"Sure. We're all the same," he doubted that his son had his state of panic bodily
insecurities anymore, and if he did he never brought the subject to him. "Jacen."
"What?"
"You look snazzy."
"Thanks, Dad so do you. Do you want me to pin on your boutonniere?"
A white rose from Paige's bouquet.
"Sure. I see you already put yours on." A sprig of Freesia the closest he could get to
the fair Mindy's dress.
"Yeah, while you were getting dressed. Which reminds me why didn't you want to get
dressed in the church?"
"Because once I set foot in there I'm going to be a total nervous wreck. I'm going to
count on my best man to get me to the altar on time."
Jacen smiled at his father. "Yes, yes."
Time was short and Eric couldn't wait until after the ceremony to give his son a hug
when he could do so right now.
11:23AM
Paige was not going to admit that the time spent with Jackie was not so bad. Partly
because it was as phony a thing as a b-actresses breasts. It had nothing to do with a
real friendship. Something Paige Allen never had with another woman. Besides she
was in a peach colored plastic smelling vinyl smock under a hairdryer at the local
salon looking through the pages of a back issue of Vogue and not having to talk
to Jackie while she was off looking at the nail polish display. Maybe that's why the
time spent with Jackie was not so bad.
12PM
Eric was nervous twisting his fingers as he sat in one of the back offices of the
church. He was thankful that he didn't marry Donna because that would have meant
that his marriage to Paige would have been his third trip down the aisle. He wished
he could've met Paige when he was in high school. They could have held hand in the
school corridors, he would have hit Hyde or Kelso if they teased him about it, but he
wasn't sure if that wasn't just the thought of a middle aged man or if he really would
have had the confidence to stand up for himself especially concerning Hyde. He
heard voices outside the door. The giggles, pauses, and short whispers could only
mean his son was talking to Mindy. Jacen should have been back here ten minutes
ago to report on the goings-on but Eric knew he was going to get sidetracked. He
got up and opened up the door a crack. He didn't mean to spy.
"What's that?" Jacen asked as Mindy took a small clear bottle out of her purse.
"Close your eyes."
"Okay."
Eric rolled his eyes when he saw that it was lip-gloss. Mindy put on two coats before
putting her hands on his son's shoulders and kissing him on the lips.
"Mm—Mindy. You smell like peaches."
"It's called peachy keen and I got it in the drugstore."
"Could we do that again?"
"Just for you, Jacen."
"I'll close my eyes, too."
She reapplied her lip-gloss and Eric let them have their second kiss before opening
the door.
"I thought I heard voices out here."
"H-hi, Mr. Forman. Congratulations on your upcoming nuptials."
"Hello, Mindy and thank you."
"Dad…" Jacen had on his please-don't-tell-me-that-you-were-spying-on-me face on.
"I have to go. Jackie said she was going to do my hair and make up."
"I'll walk you…"
"No, no, no you won't Jacen. I'll never see you again."
"All right, it is your wedding day after all. Bye, Mindy." Jacen smiled and waved.
"Bye, Jacen."
He stayed in the doorway until Mindy disappeared from his view.
"Son!"
"What?" He turned around after he realized Eric was calling him.
Eric smiled, "You treat her nicely."
"I learned from the best."
The comment made Eric's heart swell with pride. Like it or not his son was getting
another hug. Someday Eric thought that he'd grow up to be thankful for them. He
always wanted Red to acknowledge him like that. As someone special, his son.
12:15PM
Jackie opened up her silver and chrome beauty train case. As she fingered through
foundation bottles and compacts she caught Paige's reflection in the mirror. She was
a pretty woman. But underneath the pretty was a very insecure woman. She had this
look in her deep-set brown eyes that she half expected for Eric to abandon her at the
altar with only a single peach to nibble on. Jackie still didn't like her and didn't think
the two of them would ever have a real friendship but at that moment she couldn't
help but feel sorry for her.
Mindy picked up a round dual eyeshadow compact out of Jackie's mini beauty
supply store. It was neutral palette of sheer gold and luck 'o the Irish green. She
thought it would match with her hazel green-flecked eyes.
"I like this shade, Jackie."
"That's pretty, Mindy. Why don't you sit down for a bit while I do Paige's face."
"Okay. I peeked at your dress earlier, Miss Allen. It's beautiful."
Fearful tears were in the corners of her eyes. "Thank you, Mindy. You can do her
make up first."
"No. I have to set your foundation." Jackie thought Paige should be the happiest
woman on Earth right now.
"Don't make it cakey."
"Please. I know how to apply make up, Paige."
"Doesn't Jacen look handsome today?" The usually reserved in front of adults Mindy
asked.
"Yes, he does." Jackie and Paige replied in unison
"Do you have a lipstick that matches my peachy keen lip-gloss?"
The physical feelings inside the fifteen year old girl were strong. She was very glad
that her mother took her to the OB-GYN as soon as she got her first period two years
ago but her uptight mother took her for health reasons not the reasons that caused
Mindy to sneak to the nearest Planned Parenthood office a year ago.
"I'm sure I have something, dear. You have nice skin texture, Paige."
It was true. She could be a very breathtaking woman if she only let herself believe
that she was.
She couldn't take the compliment. "I just want to be pretty for Eric."
"You will be and yourself too."
Even if all those other things didn't happen between them Jackie was certain she
could never be a friend with a woman like Paige. But that didn't mean that she
couldn't transform her into a beautiful bride. After all she was Jackie Burkhart queen
of the makeover.
12:52PM
Jacen smiled at his father. He got him to the altar on time just like he promised that
he would.
"Are you still nervous?" Jacen whispered
They had a pretty decent sized turnout but most of the people were from Eric and
Paige's workplaces. Paige's boss Dina would still be her maid of honor, when she
asked Jackie about it she could only reply, "We're not friends. I'm just getting her
ready." There was no Grandma Kitty or Grandpa Red, but he was certain that they
were happily watching from wherever souls go.
"A little," Eric reached for his son's hand, "Waking me up with a bucket of water
aside. Thank you for all your help today."
"You're welcome, Dad." Jacen looked to see Mindy sitting in the first pew on the
groom's side next to Jackie who quickly took her seat next to her.
She was so beautiful with her hair up and set with a delicate silver tone butterfly clip
that Jacen noticed from where he was standing.
When the organ started to play "The Wedding March" Eric's heart jumped out of his
chest and he swore into the rafters.
"It's going to be okay, Dad. You have to be strong for your lady." Jacen advised.
Eric lost all sense of time and space when he saw Paige make her entrance.
She was the most vision of lovely that Eric has ever seen in his life. She held on to
her white rose bouquet firmly as she was afraid she might have tripped herself up.
Her normally straight blonde hair was in these magnificent curls that were pushed
away from her face by "invisible" hair clips. The dress was like someone took a
perfect ivory colored pearl and melted it to sheer perfection. It was strapless and
showed off her milky shoulders. The dress had a swirl pattern that lightly went off to
the side. Eric wouldn't notice until she appeared by his side that the back of the
dress had a delicate corset style detailing. She was the most beautiful woman ever
as he let one tear of gratitude fall down his face. To get to this moment to go from
what he thought was real teenage love with Donna Pinciotti where the bad times
seemed to outweigh all the good times to a half-hearted marriage to his ex-wife only
for the sake of giving Jacen a stable home life to this elegant woman standing
before him made Eric Forman feel like the luckiest man in the whole world. Before
the pastor would marry them Paige and Eric both requested when they made their
plans that they would do their vows first.
Their true promises to one another written on fancy lined peach stationery from
Halverson's department store. Paige's hands were shaking as Eric's smile soothed
her.
"Eric, when I saw you that day, in the library, something inside me clicked. I have
loved you from afar for so long, but because you were married I never had the
nerve to let you know. I am so blessed that my dream came true. You have given
me strength and love--unconditional love. But there is no one else I would rather
fight with, or cry over than you. You make my life complete. From the first moment
I saw you and Jacen, my heart leapt from my chest...and I knew that maybe
someday...someday we would be right here. In love. I thank you Eric, for giving my
body life and my soul fire. You and Jacen mean the world to me. I couldn't ask for
a better set of men to spend my life with. I can only hope to be as good of a
stepmother to him, as you are a father. Thank you, Eric Forman. For loving me,
and letting me love you."
She couldn't help but cry and hoped that this make up that Jackie put on her face
was waterproof. Eric's hands were shaking too and Jacen gave him a silent nudge.
"Here we are, darling. After all this time who would have thought that I would find
love, let alone this far in the game? But I found you. You have touched my life in
ways that I never knew possible. You have given me so many things that I never
knew I even deserved. But you showed me that I did. You showed me that I could
be loved. I appreciate that every day. I appreciate every moment that we spend
together. Which is why I can't stand to be without you for a single moment. Life has
its ups and downs, its good and bad times. I am just lucky to have you by my side
through all the twists and turns. You've helped me to believe in second chances
and to love again. Real love. I cherish everything about you. As a wife and lover, a
mother to my son. I feel that we are finally a family. A complete circle. Thank you
for believing in and loving me. I will always love you."
That was when Jacen's misty eyes met with Mindy's a silent heartfelt gasp between
them. Jackie reached for a handkerchief in her purse. She was genuinely happy for
the both of them especially when the pastor concluded the ceremony twenty minutes
later with "you may kiss the bride."
"I love you, Eric Forman."
"I love you too, Paige Forman."
"Guys, the pastor said kiss the bride not talk to the bride!" Jacen exclaimed Eric
wrapped his arms around Paige and pulled her to close to give her the kind of kiss
usually reserved for romantic, sensual movies. People never had this in real life. It
did Jacen's heart good to know that, that was not always the case. He looked at
Mindy who looked so pretty in her ankle length lavender a-line dress with its
appropriate length v-neck. Jacen's imagination took care of the rest. He almost
didn't notice that Paige and his father were done kissing.
"Congratulations, Dad!" He hugged him "And Paige!" he hugged her and kissed her
on the cheek.
He might never call her 'mom' and that was okay. She was overjoyed that he at least
liked her.
"Paige, are you ready to start our new life?" Eric put her arm in his.
She blinked to stop from crying, "Yes, Eric, yes."
Eric and Paige agreed to a small reception at the private room in The Vineyard.
Their limousine ride over was nothing short of tender kisses and warm embraces.
"The best is yet to come," Eric whispered into her ear. "M'lady."
"Eric, do you think our pictures outside the church are going to come out nice?" She
rested her head on his chest.
"With you in them how could they not?" He kissed her hand. He loved looking at their
simple white gold wedding bands.
We're married!
"You're too sweet, Eric. And the same goes for you too."
"Is the radio bothering you?" Eric asked
"No, I didn't even notice that the driver had it on."
Eric slid the panel open to talk to the driver.
"Please turn the music off. Thank you."
DJ voice: That was Peaches and Herb with the song, "I Pledge My Love"
Jackie was glad to have the chance to sit down. She drove Jacen and Mindy in
Eric's car and left her vintage rental at the church. She would work out the details
later. Her feet were killing her in her pink pointy-toed heels. She drank a passable
gin and tonic. Point Place was never going to be New York City but it was always
going to be home in her heart.
"Hi, Jackie!"
"Oh, Jacen, you scared me."
"Sorry. What were you thinking about?"
"Nothing. I'm just tired. It's been a long day. Where's your girlfriend?"
"We're not dating yet. Dad won't let me go out on what is quote unquote real date
until I'm sixteen. She's in the bathroom."
"She looks gorgeous in her lavender dress."
"She always looks gorgeous."
"You really do love her, honey?"
"Yes! We're going to get married someday. Dad and Paige should be arriving soon.
I'm going to get Mindy a soda. Do you need a refill?"
"No, I'm good. Are you two going to dance later?"
"I don't know. If she wants to, I guess." He nervously played with the plastic peach
sword shaped swizzle stick that Jackie had put on the table. She did allow him to
touch the back of her knees in the car just like they did on the way back from their
Chicago trip. Where they had their first adolescent kiss on the lips. Jackie smiled as
he nervously walked away.
He got two mini bottles of soda from the bar as he waited for Mindy to come back.
"Hi, Jacen."
"Hi, Mindy. I got you a soda."
"Thank you. Did I tell you that you look very handsome today?"
He blushed. "Dad and Paige are going to be arriving soon would you like to wait
outside for them?"
"Sure." She wanted to say more to him. Was Jacen her boyfriend now? but she
left her confidence in the ladies room.
It was a quick reception for the happily married couple as Eric surprised Paige with
tickets to California. He thought about Hawaii but the more he thought about it he
didn't want to travel outside of the continental United States. He also didn't want to
be too far away if Jacen needed him. The weather was rain and the forecast called
for more rain. Eric thought about the last time he came to California. When it was all
for Donna. How his heart filled with hope that their reunion would make their
relationship stronger. It did but only for a little while. Then it was back to the same old
everything-he-did-was-wrong-and-everything-she-did-was-right routine. He needed
to come full circle and make California a happy place. Otherwise it just would have
been a bitter place for his memory bank. They stayed at the Culver hotel in Culver
City, which was fifteen minutes from Los Angeles. Paige laughed as Eric carried her
over the threshold.
"What's so funny?" Eric asked
"You! I can't believe we wore our wedding outfits on the flight!"
"I'm proud to me married to you. I wanted the whole world to know."
"I'm proud to be married to you as well, Eric." She kissed his neck.
He walked her into the honeymoon suite. He placed her gently on the bed, and
kissed her tenderly.
"I am the luckiest man alive." He kissed her hand and looked deeply into her eyes,
"After all of these years, I have finally found my soulmate. You make me happier than
I have ever been." He touched her face gently, and she smiled.
"I feel the same way Eric. Until you came along, I was so empty and lost. I felt as
though my life was just nothing. I love you. You make me whole. You and Jacen."
"We love you, Paige. I love you. You mean everything to me." He leaned in and
kissed her passionately. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back,
biting his bottom lip. He stepped back and smiled at her. "Wait right here, I have a
surprise."
"What is it?" she said.
"If I tell you, it isn't a surprise." He walked over to the kitchenette area, coming back
with a large bowl. He walked to the mini bar and brought over the champagne. He
grabbed two glasses and placed them on the table. He popped off the cork, and
champagne exploded everywhere. She squealed, and laughed at Eric as he tried to
avoid getting soaked. He poured them each a glass, and brought it over to her. She
took her glass and raised it.
"What shall we toast to, Mr. Forman?"
"Mrs. Forman, let's toast to our love, and a happy life together."
"That's a wonderful toast. To us!" They clinked their glasses together and drank the
champagne. She put her glass down and smiled at Eric. "Okay, what's my
surprise?" Eric walked over to her, hands behind his back.
"Close your eyes." She obliged and he proceeded to blindfold her.
"Eric, you're kinky."
"No, that's not what this is for. I have a game for you. Well, kind of a game. I, Eric
Forman, your husband, am going to put random things in your mouth."
"WHAT!?" she replied, and began laughing. "You said this WASN'T kinky..."
"Your mind is in the gutter, young lady. Just trust me, okay?"
"Okay." She smiled, blind to the world and excited about what her new husband was
going to do. He reached over to the bowl, picked it up and brought it over to the bed
where she sat. He picked up a piece of fruit and placed it on her lips.
"Can you tell me what this is?" She let him push it gently into her mouth, and then she
bit down and tasted it.
"Mmmmm, strawberry. Very delicious." She swallowed it and smiled. "Is there
more?"
He put another piece to her mouth, and she tasted it as well. "Pineapple. You
remember my favorites."
He gave her several more pieces of exotic fruits; some she knew and others
weren't as recognizable. The last piece sat in the bowl, and he moved the bowl back
to the table. He placed his hands on her bare shoulders. He traced his hands down
her arms and to her back. Shivers went up her spine at his touch, he always knew
how to get that reaction out of her. He began to untie the ribbon of the corset that
held her dress tight, loosening the string gently. She began to undo his tie, ripping it
off his neck.
"You do that pretty good, blindfolded, you know." he said, laughing.
"I know your body like the back of my hand." She replied, unbuttoning his pants. He
gently pushed her hands away, and kissed her gently.
"Let me show you how much I love you Paige." He stood her up, letting her dress fall
to the floor. She stood in a beautiful white merriwidow, strapless with white stockings
and high adult styled Mary Jane designed heels. He took a step back, holding her
hand to help her step out of the dress.
"You are stunning. You take my breath away." He kissed her again and she brought
her hands to his waist.
"I love you Eric."
"And I love you." He eased her down onto the bed, and placed small yet sensual
kisses along her collarbone.
She let out a soft moan, comfortable with his mouth on her as a pen in a writer's
hand. He moved down to her breasts, caressing them with his left hand as his right
reached underneath her to undo the fastens on her lingerie. As he slowly peeled it off
of her, he looked down at her body, glowing in the sunlight now fading into night.
"You are gorgeous." He kissed her stomach and ran his hand down to her thigh.
"Eric." she said breathlessly. He looked up at her.
"Yeah?"
"Can I touch you?" He laughed a little.
"Of course you can." She put her hands on his shoulders as he moved his body
down, finding a spot in between her legs. He kissed her navel as his hands traced
the lining of her panties. He looped his fingers around the fabric and pulled them
down to her knees. He moved slightly so he could bring them down to her feet, and
eventually off of her body completely. He reached over for the bowl, pulling out the
last piece of fruit. He placed it halfway into his mouth, and brought himself back up to
her stomach. He placed the exposed part on her stomach, leading a trail to her thigh.
She shivered, with the fruit being cold. She moaned again, softly and got goose
bumps from head to toe. He moved the fruit over her clit and
traced it, sliding a finger inside of her. She arched her back slightly, and let him
continue working his magic. She had never been this excited before; her
nipples became rock hard as she started grinding her hips in time with his fingers.
He stopped suddenly, pulling his fingers out, and placing the slice of
fruit inside of her. He began to suck gently on her, and she let out a gasp and a
moan. She grabbed his hair with her hands and brought her legs up into a
bent position.
"Eric, that feels so good." she whispered. He put the fruit back into his mouth, and
climbed up on top of her. He bit the entire slice, then kissed her
passionately with the piece still in his mouth. She bit a piece of it, and smiled as she
chewed it and swallowed.
"Peaches. Hmmmm." He took the blindfold off of her, and smiled at her.
"I take it you like peaches." He kissed her neck and licked her ear.
"If I didn't before, I sure as hell do now."
He lie down on top of her, each one of them kissing and caressing each other. They
made love several times that night, neither one wanting the morning to come, both
too in love and happy to care about anything else in the world.
It was a new beginning for the both of them.
After Eric and Paige left the reception in their rented limousine, Jacen asked Jackie
if he could walk Mindy home. She saw the sparkle in his blue eyes and how could
she no to her godson? They stopped at his house first. Jacen and Mindy sat on the
porch swing gazing into the sparkling night sky. She reached her hand over and
grabbed his, interlacing their fingers. He smiled and turned a little to face her.
"It was a nice wedding, Mindy."
"Yeah, it was beautiful."
"You are beautiful."
She leaned forward and kissed him gently.
"Thanks, Jacen."
She stood up, and he put on leg up on the swing. She sat in between his legs and
leaned her back into his chest. He instinctively wrapped his arms around her.
"Thanks for coming." His heart leapt out of his chest having her body this close to
his. The day had been perfect for his father, and was now perfect for him. "You like
weddings?" He couldn't think of anything to say, he was so wrapped up in Mindy and
his feelings for her that he could have been talking about calculus and he wouldn't
have known what he said.
"Yeah, I want to have a wedding like that some day. What about you?" Mindy
surprised herself. She was always goal minded from the time she entered pre-
school with her the specialty school supplies her overachiever parents purchased for
her.
Jacen thought to himself about all the times he dreamed about getting married to
Mindy.
"Someday, as long as it's with the right girl."
Mindy turned to face him.
"How do you know when you'll find the 'right girl'?
"I'll just know. Here." He patted his chest, right over his heart.
"She may be hard to find," she said leaning back onto his chest. "Maybe you'll never
find her." He ran his hands up her arms to her shoulders.
"Maybe, I already found her." He leaned forward and kissed her shoulder. She made
a slight noise, and turned to face him again.
"Jacen, it's getting a little chilly out. Do you want to go inside?" She stood up and
held her hand out to him. He grabbed it and they walked inside.
They went to his room and sat on the bed.
"Can we talk?" she asked nervously
"Of course. Mindy, I have to tell you something. I have wanted to tell you for some
time now."
"Go ahead." she said, smiling.
"I really care about you, and you know that I don't talk to any other girls, and I need to
tell you."
"Yeah, tell me what?" He gulped and jumped off of the proverbial bridge, head first.
"I love you, Mindy." He blushed, and looked down at his hands, planted firmly in his
lap. She touched his chin with her finger and smiled at him.
"You love me?" she asked, and he nodded. "Jacen, I love you too."
She leaned in to kiss him. His heart raced and his pulse began to quicken. She had
her hands on his hips, pulling him closer to her. She took his hand and placed it on
her chest. Scared, he held it there for a full minute, until she laughingly told him that it
was okay to touch her any way that he wanted to. For the young woman that wanted
to take things slow and both of them constantly cheating their parents "no official
dates until you are sixteen" rule, the events that were happening now got quickly got
hot and heated, with her allowing him to third base without hesitation. He cleared his
throat and backed away. Which scared the Hell out of Jacen Forman who once told
his father he had a plan for everything. He had a notebook after all.
"Umm, Mindy..."
"Yeah Jacen?" She ran her fingers in his hair as she lie on the peach colored sheets
of his full size bed.
"Are you sure you want to--you know--'keep going', so to say?"
"Are you asking me if I want to make love to you?"
"Um, yeah I guess so. Because this is happening all so fast, and I want to make sure
you want this."
"Do you want this?"
"Yes, more than I think you know."
"I love you Jacen, and I want to show you how much."
'Oh God!' he thought to himself. 'I have NO clue what I am doing' She stood up and
undid the back of her dress, letting it fall at her feet as Jacen's jaw hit the floor as
soon as he saw the peach colored lace bra and panties. She walked over to him
and began to undress him. She slipped underneath the sheets, and he climbed in
after her, boxers still on. They kissed each other passionately, grasping and rubbing
up against each other.
"Jacen..."
"Yeah?" he said, looking up at her.
"Turn off the light."
"Oh, yeah. Okay." He got up and turned off the light, but lit a candle before returning
to the bed. "Better?"
He almost laughed when he thought of Paige buying those home and hearth scented
candles at the mall.
"Yes." she said, pulling him down to her. He reached over and turned the radio on.
He looked back down at her.
"I love you, Mindy."
"I love you too, Jacen." She fingered the waistband of his boxer shorts, and he
jerked back a little. He had never been touched there by anyone before, (with the
exception of himself) and he was scared that this would all be over before it even
started.
"Slower, Mindy." he laughed, and she wiggled his boxers down and off. He looped
his fingers around her panties and pulled them off. She pulled him back down on top
of her, and he jumped up.
"Shit! I almost forgot something." He reached over and grabbed his wallet, and
pulled out his 'safe-sex' condom. He had trouble opening it and Mindy laughed a
little, as he got frustrated. "Your laughing isn't helping."
"Here." she said, grabbing it and tearing the wrapper with ease. "You are just tense
right now."
She would tell him later about Planned Parenthood, as she didn't want to ruin the
moment.
"No kidding." He tried three times to put it on, his hands shaking so badly that he
dropped it on her twice. After finally getting it on, he positioned himself between her
legs and looked down at her. She was beautiful, loving, and ready to give herself to a
boy who loved her more than life.
"Mindy, are you sure, sure?"
"Yes yes."
He guided himself into her slowly, and she made a slight moaning noise, that he
couldn't tell was pain, or pleasure. He stopped.
"Are you okay? Am I hurting you?"
"It always hurts the first time, I am okay. Keep going." He moved slowly at first, and
gradually picked up a pace that she seemed comfortable with. He couldn't believe
that this was happening, with the girl he loved, right here right now.
'And my dad thinks I'm too young. What does he know?'
Suddenly, a slight orgasm ripped through him, and he yelled out. Before he knew it, it
was over. He looked down at her, and she smiled.
'Five minutes, tops. I should have done better than that!'
They kissed again, and then stood up to get dressed.
"So, this is what it's like to not be a virgin..." He broke the after first time sex
conversation ice.
"Jacen, are you okay?" she said laughing.
"I'm good. Are you all right? Did I hurt you?"
"No, I am fine."
"Good. Mindy, I can't believe we just..."
"I know. We just had sex. It's a crazy world."
"You liked it, right?"
"Well, yeah. It was a little what's the word--weird though."
His chin hit the floor.
"Weird?"
What did she mean by that?
"Well, yeah. I just--when you hear about sex, it's supposed to be like, skyrockets or
fireworks."
"Yeah, and it wasn't? I mean—"
"For YOU it was, but for me—it's just different for a girl. It was good, okay?" She
kissed him on the cheek. "I am going to go get a drink, do you want something?"
He felt terrible. She was never going to let him touch her again. It was awful. He just
knew he wouldn't be able to do it right.
"No, I'm good." He lied as he threw his body back on the bed.
It was a new peachy keen beginning for the both of them.
For all of them.
