Tim shifted on the bench and moved uncomfortably in his suit coat. Using his fingers to brush back his long hair he let out a disgruntled snort. He couldn't believe he was actually going to have to go in there and testify at Coach Dickey's trial. It was such a bunch of bullshit, but he had no choice. Julie and her parents were with him, but he was still nervous. Courts of law weren't exactly on his favorite places list.
Tim looked up and saw Julie standing down the hall with her mom and dad as they talked to the D.A. Coach had stuck by him like he said he would and had dealt with everything up until Tim had to actually testify. Julie turned her gaze to him and gave him a small wave. He took in her sweet smile and leaned back against the wall thinking back over the last month.
She'd been great. They had been on the receiving end of some crap from kids at school, but Tim chuckled as he remembered Jules telling Lyla, with venom in her voice, to go find a different relationship to mess with when she had started sniffing around him again. He had a new found appreciation for Julie Taylor after that and he never wanted to be the recipient of her wrath. She was definitely her father's daughter. Matt had been scarce after State, but he seemed to be coming around to the idea that Julie really was Tim's, having started to join them at their table during lunch.
Tim had gone to the Taylor's every Saturday night since State and actually had a good time hanging out with all of them. They had some epic Monopoly battles and Julie had improved her ping-pong game to the point that he and Coach actually had to concentrate in order to beat her. Her parents had allowed her to walk him to his truck to say goodnight and they enjoyed a few minutes of serious make-out time. He was nervous the first time, but when Julie remarked she highly doubted her dad wanted to watch them kiss he relaxed enough to maul her in the driveway. His desire to throw her down right there and seal the deal was getting to be a little difficult to overcome. He began to worry the bicep in his right arm would be noticeably bigger than the left due to all the jerking off he was doing. Hell, he hadn't spanked it this much since 8th grade. He was brought back to reality when he saw the group had walked up to him.
Coach sat down and put his hand on his shoulder. "Son..."
Tim looked at Coach's face and could tell this wouldn't be good news.
Eric Taylor turned his head away and Tim could hear him clear his throat. Looking back at him he said, "You're not going to have to testify."
Tim was stunned. "What's going on?"
Tami stepped forward and he could see tears in her eyes. "Peggy Dickey died last night."
Tim knew that was Coach Dickey's wife. That sucked, he couldn't imagine what that guy was going through. Life was so fucked up sometimes.
"Tim," Coach said, "the DA's office has agreed to plea Dave out on a lesser charge as long as you're OK with it."
"You know I am, Coach. I never wanted this in the first place." Tim was steamed. That poor bastard had to spend his last moments with his wife worrying about this shit. Julie sat down beside him and hugged him. He turned to the attorney.
"So this is done?"
"Yeah, y'all can go. I have some paper work to finish with the court, but you can consider this case over." The man replied.
Coach stood up and shook his hand and motioned for his family and Tim to follow him.
"Let's go home."
Tim and Jules sat on the couch playing with Gracie Belle. The fugly little kid had a special place in Tim's heart and he took pleasure in making her laugh by tickling her in the crook of her neck. He'd never made anyone laugh like that and to hear her deep chuckles made him laugh himself.
"You OK with today?" Julie inquired.
"It's done, let's just leave it." Tim replied.
She leaned her head on his shoulder and he turned to give her a kiss on the top of her head. He let his mind flash forward to what it would feel like to be married to Julie and have a home and baby like this. 'Hopefully a few more of my genes would be in the mix,' Tim thought wryly while looking at the bugeyed baby.
Mrs. Taylor come into the room and sat down, "Hey, kids."
"Hi, Mom."
Coach Taylor came in and sat down too. "Julie, your mom and I have something to say to the both of you."
Tim sat up a little straighter and looked at Julie who seemed as clueless as he was.
"I know I wasn't the biggest fan of this whole thing," Eric said waiving his hand in their direction, "but I gotta admit..."
Tim could see the man struggling for words. He could imagine what it would be like someday when he had to let his own daughter be with a guy like him. Tim made a mental note to have shotguns hanging over the mantle.
"Julie, what your dad is trying to say," Tami said, coming to her husband's rescue, "is that you are no longer grounded."
Julie flew from his side and rushed to her parents, throwing her arms around them. She kissed her dad on the cheek and Tim saw Coach give him one of his sternest looks.
"This doesn't mean you two can go all crazy and do just whatever you want. I want to see you maintaining your grades and curfew is still 11:00. Is that clear?"
"Crystal, sir." Tim responded.
"So," Tami said brightly, "why don't the two of you go grab some dinner and see a movie?"
"Seriously?" Julie said excitedly.
"Yep." Her mom answered.
Julie turned and grabbed his hand practically pulling him off the couch. "See you guys later." She said dragging him toward the door.
Tim laughed and turned to thank the Taylor's but all he was able to do was give them a quick wave. 'Damn,' he thought, 'this little girl has some serious strength.'
He watched as Jules jumped in his truck and bounced up and down on the seat like a little kid.
"Where to?" He asked.
"Take me to the library."
He gave her a weird look and all she did was laugh.
"Drive! I promise you'll be happy you did."
"OK..." he shook his head in amusement.
When he pulled up outside of the Dillon Public Library she jumped out and said with a sly grin for him to wait there for her. About five minutes later she came strolling out with a few papers in her hand.
"You'll need to read this later. Now drive to the theater."
"What is it?" He said watching her fold the white sheets and place them in the messy glove box.
"A synopsis of the movie we're going to see."
He laughed, "Where'd you get it?"
"There's a spoiler website that publishes entire plots of movies. Think of it as a cheat sheet." She said tossing him a knowing look. It wasn't like he had never had one of those before.
Tim did her bidding and drove to the movie theater. He was surprised that she wanted him to know the plot before the movie, but thought it might be one of those foreign jobs with subtitles knowing her. He hadn't heard of 'Atonement' before, but bought tickets to the 7:30 show without argument.
"So what do you want to do until the movie starts? Alamo Freeze?" He asked.
"Tim..." she said looking at him with a bewildered look on her face, "we're not really going to see the movie."
He was confused, then why the hell did he just spend 18 bucks on tickets?
"Drive us someplace." She said, placing her hand on his thigh and her tongue in his ear.
The pieces clicked together and Tim looked at Julie through narrow eyes, 'vixen' was the word that came to his mind. He fired up the truck and headed out of the parking lot and over to his place.
"Sit tight." He told her.
He was back in a few minutes and threw a bundle into the bed of the truck. He gave her a wink and started driving out of town, he knew just the spot.
Tim was lying with Julie on a blanket in the back of his truck looking up into the night sky while slowly drawing his fingers through her hair. The radio in the cab was softly playing country tunes. Her head was resting on his chest and she was tenderly running her fingers over his tight abdomen. He could feel little electric sparks pass from her finger tips onto his skin with each pass. She slowly lifted up his shirt and began kissing his chest with tiny, light touches. Tim's mind reeled. He knew it would take all his strength to let this girl leave him that night with her virginity intact.
"Jules..." he sighed.
"Just enjoy it."
"Enjoying it isn't the problem."
"Tonight there are no problems." She responded, continuing her exploration of his chest, slowly drawing the kisses downward toward his jeans.
He knew he should stop her, but he just couldn't bring himself to. He felt her start to remove his belt and unbutton his jeans. He opened his eyes and saw a look on her face that was new. Julie was being the aggressor and he liked it.
"You sure?" he asked.
"Very."
He assisted her in taking off his jeans and boxers. Tim was completely satisfied to let her control everything. He saw her looking down at his naked and highly erect form and wondered if this was the first time she had seen a guy like this before. He quickly stopped caring when she brought her mouth back down to his body and began licking his stomach. Positioning herself between his legs she ran her hands down his chest and as her hair spilled onto his skin he thought he would lose it right there.
"Oh, God..." he moaned.
Julie moved her hands down to take his erection in her hands. This was the first time he felt the softness of her skin on his. They had done plenty of stuff in various closets around school and rushed sessions on her couch, but their clothes had always remained on. This was definitely much better. She began stroking him with a slow, steady pace and ran her tongue around the base of his penis. When she placed it in her warm, wet mouth Tim knew he didn't have long. Julie had just found her rhythm when he realized this was it. He motioned to her that he was about to come, he was fully prepared to deal with the cleanup himself, but when she pushed him back down on the bed of the truck and continued he almost lost his mind. Not able to hold back any longer he unloaded into her mouth. 'Holy crap, she swallows' was all Tim was able to process before the power of his orgasm stopped all thought.
Tim laid in the bed of the truck trying to recover.
"Wow..." was all he was able to say.
Julie seemed to be very pleased with herself as he gave her a glance. She wore a smug expression and he knew she liked the power she held over him, but it was time for Tim Riggins to take control.
Flipping her down on the bed of the truck and leaning over her, he simply said, "My turn."
She was laughing at his swagger, but soon stopped when his fingers began drawing her top up. She leaned up and allowed him to take it off. His breath was taken away when he saw her angelic hair fanning out on the blanket as he laid her back down. Her delicate white bra couldn't hide the fact that she was aroused and he brought himself down to slowly tongue her erect nipples through the lace. Her body writhed beneath him and she let a low moan escape her lips. Tim knew he was going to give Julie more pleasure than she had ever felt in her life. He slowly unhooked her bra and removed it with his teeth. She began giggling again at his silliness. It felt good to Tim to be so free with her. This wasn't just physical, it felt so natural to be like this with her.
Seeing her supple breasts free from their constraints had been a fantasy of Tim's for a while now. Fantasy had nothing on reality. They were fantastic. He cupped them in his hands and flicked his tongue on each nipple until they were rock hard. He knew she was in another place by the sounds coming out of her. This was going to be fun.
He worked his way down her taught stomach with his mouth and began to feel a little nervous. His desire to taste her sweetness was strong, but his love for her stronger. Tim didn't want to do anything with Julie that she wasn't ready for. He rested his forehead on her stomach and slowed things way down. She lifted his head up and looked into his eyes.
"Don't stop." she implored.
"Jules..."
"Tim. Don't. Stop." she demanded.
With that he slowly removed her jeans and looked at her beautiful body. She was wearing just the smallest of white panties. He buried his face in them and could feel how excited she was at his attentions. He mouthed her wet mound through the fabric and as she arched her back in ecstasy he adeptly removed the last barrier that stood between them. Plunging his tongue into her depths, he dug his fingers into her flesh. She threw her legs around his neck and drove his face deeper into her with her hands. Tim felt her nails digging into his scalp as his tongue expertly brought her to her climax.
The couple took their time getting dressed, sharing tender kisses and touches. Tim took Julie by the hand and helped her from the bed of the truck. He gently spun her around and started slow dancing to a song on the radio. Tim reached out for her face and held it gently in his hand while placing a warm kiss on her mouth.
"I love you, Julie Taylor."
She looked into his eyes and replied, "I love you too, Timothy Riggins."
AN: Many thanks to those of you who took the time to review. I greatly appreciate your thoughts and praises for my first ever FF. I hope the finale didn't disappoint. Cheers, Scarlett
