Getting to Know You

Simon and Jeanette's story

Part XVII

Writers note, because of some questions about my character designs, I have posted a chart for each character as I see them when I write on my profile page if you get lost or confused. Yes it includes links to pictures, and yes they are completely human. they just record like the Chipmunks and Chipettes.

Previously, on Getting to Know You…

Long story short, Simon asked Jeanette out on a date and she said yes, and Bill came back and seems intent on taking Jeanette from Simon. Jeanette made Simon promise not to mess with Bill unless he had to protect someone and the kids recorded some more songs. Now on to the date!

Jeanette was waiting rather impatiently for the bell to ring in eighth period and dismiss the school for the weekend. She had once had a lot of trouble understanding girls like Britney who got all worked up for the weekend to start, and now she found herself in the exact same position. Life was funny that way. Finally, the bell rang and for once, she was the first one to reach the door and be out the front of the school waiting by her car when Simon came walking over, his face looking just as excited about the evening as she felt.

"Hey!" he greeted her, beaming, "You ready to get going?"

"Yeah." She replied happily, "But shouldn't we wait for the others?"

"Uhhh, let me think about that… no." he answered quickly, "Alvin and Britney are already gone and Theo and Ellie are doing who knows what over at the sports shed."

"Oh." Jeanette replied shocked, she would probably never get over the fact that her little sister was just shy of being a nymphomaniac, "How did you find all that out?"

"I texted Alvin on my way over and Theo had that stupid grin on his face all lunch like he was expecting something and then Eleanor asked for his help in the sports shed and that look just grew bigger so…" he answered a little embarrassed, though not embarrassed enough to keep him from nudging Jeanette to get into his car so he could drive her home.

She giggled a little bit when she realized that she was holding them up, then she crawled into the passenger seat and they peeled out of the parking lot and headed for her house. When they reached the Chipettes house, Simon unlocked the car doors and let her know that he would be back at six to pick her up and warned her to dress casual. She nodded, smiled at him, and walked in the door, her hips swaying seductively, but not at all forced. Simon thought for a minute about how fluidly she could move when she wasn't spacing out as he took off for home to make himself presentable for her on their first real date.

Jeanette ran inside to get ready. She was so excited to go out tonight that she didn't even notice that her mom was waiting at the dining room table with her arms crossed.

"Mm-hmm" Miss Miller coughed, startling her daughter enough to make her jump.

When she had recovered and saw who it was that had made the noise, Jeanette smiled and asked how her day was.

"My day was good, yours?" Miss Miller replied, "I remember hearing that you and Simon have a date tonight, is that correct?"

"Yes ma'am," Jeanette answered respectfully, she had been expecting an interrogation, but she wished that her mom would just cut to the point, "He's taking me to the observatory to see the light show."

"Light show?" Miss Miller asked, "What exactly is that?"

"They project scenes from the telescope onto the ceiling and play music in the background. It's one of the things that I've always wanted to do." She explained, hoping that her mom would be reassured and not assume the worst.

"So you're going to be in the dark for what, two hours?" Miss Miller continued, a stern look coming over her, "What are you going to do after that?"

"I think he said something about going to get some food and then bringing me home."

"Well, you're the last of your sisters to go out with their boyfriends alone, so you know what I'm going to say now right?" Miss Miller questioned, finally getting to the part that Jeanette had been secretly dreading.

"Yes Mom, and I can assure you that I'm not going to let anything unsafe happen between me and Simon. he's just as uncomfortable as I am about moving fast." She explained.

"Is that so?" her mom asked, her eyebrows raising slightly at the mature decision, "Well, even if that is the case, I still want you to be careful and dress modestly tonight."

"Mom," Jeanette interrupted, blushing slightly, "We're going to the observatory, what makes you think that I'm going to dress provocatively, besides, he said to dress casually. Now if you'll please excuse me, I have to go wash up."

"Of course sweetie, I just worry about you sometimes."Miss Miller tried to justify, "I mean, your sisters are already active, I guess I just want to keep you pure for a while longer."

"I understand mom." Jeanette said, smiling softly at her adoptive mother, "But you do realize that I'm not exactly a little girl anymore right?"

"Yes I know, but I can still try right?" she responded, grabbing her middle daughters hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.

After sitting there for a minute more, Jeanette stood up and walked upstairs to the shower, her mother watching her until she was out of sight before putting her head down on the counter and sighing deeply. When Jeanette got upstairs, her first stop was inside her room to pick out her outfit. She pretty much had just the one look, jeans and a t-shirt, but she tried her best to pick out something nice anyway. She eventually settled for a plain thin purple shirt and a pair of faded jeans and some thin lace panties. She didn't think it would matter later, but they always made her feel beautiful when she wore them. She also borrowed a pair of Britney's ballet flats to complete the look. When she had her outfit ready and laid out on her bed, she took her clothes off, wrapped herself in a towel, and headed for the shower.

Jeanette turned the faucet on to warm and climbed over the edge of the tub to step into the heated stream of water as it made her skin prickle with sensation. As she began to lather her hair up, her thoughts turned to the conversation she had just had with her mother. She thought specifically about how soon her sisters had lost their virginity after going out with their boyfriends. Sure Ellie had at least waited at least a good two months, but she was pretty sure that that had been because of the close quarters in the tour bus. Now, Ellie and Theo were having sex about once or twice a week. She just couldn't see what the allure of the whole sexual experience was. She had masturbated before and had even had a couple of orgasms, but to have someone alien, even if it was Simon, touch her like that, she didn't see how she would ever get over the initial embarrassment.

As she imagined what it must have been like for her sisters their first time, her face flushed and her body grew warmer not from the water, but from her heart racing faster; she finally turned the water to cold and relaxed under the drops that fell upon her skin. When she stepped out of the shower, he mirror had condensed to the point that she had to take her towel off and use it to wipe down the glass. When she was able to see her reflection, she wrung out her hair over the sink and tried out a couple different styles before finally deciding on just letting it hang down before blow drying it. When she was through with her hair, she moved on to her makeup. She rarely used any on a usual day, so she decided not to use too much for tonight. When she was satisfied that her breath was fresh, her hair neat, her skin smooth and her eyes successfully accented, she walked out of the bathroom and went straight to her room to get dressed.

While Jeanette was getting ready at her house, Simon was busy being nervous and venting to his dad…

"Dave, what do I do if she thinks I'm trying to make a move when I'm not?" Simon asked nervously.

"I'm sure Jeanette won't assume the worst of you Simon, you've been friends long enough that I think she'll trust you. Now Miss Miller on the other hand…" he joked, laughing when Simon looked back at him with abject terror in his eyes.

"That's not even close to being funny." Simon grumbled, crossing his arms over his chest when he realized the joke.

"Aw Simon, I'm sure you'll have a great time together. Just remember what I told you okay?" Dave reminded, causing Simon to flashback uncomfortably to their awkward conversation about sex just a few minutes ago. The only way Simon had gotten Dave to stop talking was to remind him that he had taken sex ed. and that he and Jeanette had agreed to go slowly.

"Alright then," Dave said after a few minutes of silence, "You should go get washed up and dressed."

"Okay dad." Simon responded, getting up from his spot at the counter and heading upstairs to get in the shower.

He stepped into the stream of water when he had given it a chance to warm up and a chill ran up his spine as the drops fell on his skin and began to slough off his body, a small river forming in the valley in between his abs and falling off his broad shoulders. He thought momentarily of all the times when he was little that the other boys had made fun of him and his inability to put on any muscle. Now he was over six feet and was built with the form of a professional athlete. He lathered up and washed his crop of hair out and watched as the suds that rinsed off spiraled down the drain. After spending a little more time under the relaxing torrent of moisture, he grudgingly reached for the nozzle and turned the water off. As usual, his body immediately wished that he hadn't as the blast of built up cool air rushed into the space that the steam had occupied just moments ago. He reached for his towel quickly in an effort to stop the slight shivering and wrapped himself comfortably in the soft cloth.

Once his top half and his legs were dried off, he stepped out of the hard plastic of the tub and padded his way across the small enclosure and swiped the mist off the mirror. When his hair was wet, he was always surprised to see how long it had grown, there was a time that he had always kept it short, but this year, he had found himself neglecting his usual trips to the barber and was still surprised to see the curtain of black hair reaching down to his shoulders. He sighed in defeat and brushed the bangs out of his eyes and tied it all behind in a ponytail with a rubber band he had found on the counter. When he was satisfied with how he looked and how he smelled, he walked into his room to get dressed.

Simon's color had been blue for the longest time, just like Alvin's had always been red and Theo's green. But tonight, he figured he'd try something different. Due to his brothers and his success in the music business, he now had a wide variety of clothes to choose from. He had told Jeanette to dress casually and decided that he should try and do the same thing. After looking in his closet for a while, he finally decided on a thin maroon shirt with a giant black spade with some rock logo's surrounding it. The colors actually complimented his dark hair and the thinness of the material complimented his slim and muscular physique quite well. To finish the look, he slipped into some faded black jeans and laced up his high tops and walked out of the room to get the car started and say goodbye to his dad before leaving to go pick up his date.

It took him a grand total of five minutes to get to Jeanette's house from his by car. Luckily, he had been able to borrow Dave's the whole day, especially since he didn't own one. Anyway, he pulled up to the girl's house at about ten to seven. Surprisingly, Miss Miller was not on the porch like she had been when Alvin had asked Britney out. Maybe she just did that for the couples that she was concerned about. Oh well, he could ask her that when he went inside.

When the doorbell rang, Jeanette instinctively looked at the clock on the kitchen wall. It read 6:50; that meant that it was probably Simon at the front. She got up from her seat and walked over to the front door. When the door was opened, her jaw just about fell off of her face; Simon usually looked haggard from long nights of studying and a stressful environment usually caused by Alvin, but tonight, he must have taken a lot of care with his appearance because he looked drop dead gorgeous. His muscles were vaguely outlined by the thin shirt he wore underneath his long hair pulled back so that his face had an old world look to it.

"Can I come in?" He asked smiling at her.

"Of course! Come on in." She replied, trying to contain her excitement and surprise.

When he was shown into the front room, Miss Miller came in from her room and sat down across from Simon. Jeanette had been afraid of this. She had made a big show about Britney when Alvin had come to pick her up, but she had thought that she would at least tone down the intimidation act a little for her sake. To his credit, Simon took the sudden appearance of her mom very well, smiling graciously the whole time.

"So you and Jeanette are going to go out tonight to the observatory?" Miss Miller asked.

"That is the general plan yes." Simon responded.

"And what are you going to do after the show is over?"

"Well, I was thinking of going out to the field in the park and doing some stargazing with her before heading home."

"And how long are you going to just stare at the sky?" Miss Miller continued, clearly not done with the inquisition.

"Depends on Jeanette, I can get in as late as I want tonight, but I don't want to get her in trouble with you." He answered.

"I want her here, at home, safe and sound no later than 11:30." Miss Miller supplied, her icy gaze drifting momentarily from Simon to Jeanette.

"I have no problem with that ma'am." Simon said respectfully, "Just so you know, the show is over officially at 10:30."

"I thought you said it ended at 11:00." Jeanette said confused.

"The guy who works the projector is sick," he explained, "So they decided to start the show earlier and get him home sooner."

"And how do you know this?" Miss Miller asked curiously.

"I know him from a summer job freshman year and we still keep in touch." He explained matter-of-factly.

"Well, in that case, you should get going then shouldn't you?" Miss Miller said, ushering them both out the door, obviously pleased that she could trust Simon.

When the door was shut behind them, Jeanette looked up at Simon just in time to see him breathe a sigh of relief. She giggled a little and asked what he had been nervous about.

"If you must know, your mom can be a very scary woman." He said bending down to whisper conspiratorially in her ear, eliciting only more laughter from her angelic voice.

They walked to the car, their arms wrapped around each other's waist, Miss Miller watching the whole time from the window, unseen. As they pulled away into the afternoon light, she smiled as she remembered being a high school girl on her first date. She closed the curtain hesitantly long after they had disappeared on the horizon line and went to sit in her chair and take a nap to the evening news.

They had been driving for about five minutes with only the sound of the radio playing Journey when the curiosity finally got the better of Jeanette.

"Where are we going?" she asked excitedly, sounding for a second like she had when they were little kids.

"Well, like I told your mom, I'm taking you to the observatory for the show and then to the field, and finally back to your house." he answered, smiling slyly before continuing, "What I didn't tell either of you though, is what we're going to do before the show."

"But it starts at nine." Jeanette said, "What are we going to do until then? It's 8:15 now."

"That's part of the surprise." Simon hinted mysteriously, "I have no idea what we're going to do. I was going to let you tell me where you want to go."

Jeanette had never seen this side of him before, Simon was always the one with the plan, at the moment, he was flying without any hint of a map. She wasn't sure if she liked this side of him or was intimidated by it. Nevertheless, if he could step out of his comfort zone, so could she. She told him that she really wanted to go get something from the mall. He immediately changed lanes and took the back road to the mall and when they parked, he got out and walked over to her side of the car to open her door.

They walked through the doors and were taken captive by the vast array of colors that the various medley of shops was bathed in. There were the neon lights of the skate and tattoo shops, the softer tones of the clothing shops, and the rotating signs on the electronics and gaming stores. There was even a softer kind of pastel that served as the main décor for the book store and coffee shops. Jeanette saw that Simon was hesitant to lead the way so she took point and grabbed his hand to help him navigate the crowds towards one of her favorite shops, not that she would admit it to anyone outside of family and Simon.

The Cat's Eye was a relatively small affair in contrast to the rest of the shops nearby, but that was part of the allure of it all. Jeanette had been in only a couple times before, and though she had never bought anything before, she had always wanted to get something. The clothes on the wall weren't exactly something you'd find on the property of an Old Navy or Dillard's and that just added to the mystique of it all.

She turned around to see what Simon's reaction would be, what she saw was quite possibly the reddest face in the history of the world. Although she didn't see the point in him being embarrassed, after all, he looked the part with his deep blue eyes, long Black hair pulled back, and tight dark shirt, to fit in well enough at a Goth clothing shop. She squeezed his hand to let him know that she was still there and was surprised to see him jump a little before refocusing on her. He smiled nervously and walked with her until they found the back where the more risqué outfits were kept.

"Excuse me, can I help you?" a voice asked them from behind as Jeanette was looking at the selections of black skirts, ripped jeans, and revealing tops all scrawled with bands that she had never heard of.

They turned around to see a girl that looked about their age standing almost inches away dressed in similar clothes to what they had just been looking at.

Jeanette stepped forward clutching a black skirt with the edges shredded and red strips of cloth mixed in that made it look like the wearer was dripping blood, "I was wondering if you could help me out, I need to find this in a size 7?"

"Sure, just follow me." The sales person said, smiling at them before taking one of the skirts off the rack as well as a couple of blouses and leading Jeanette off into the back to show her the changing room.

Simon was left alone to wait there in the back of the shop alone amongst the strange clothes and the images of the heavy metal bands. After a few minutes, he looked around lazily and saw someone who looked a lot like Jeanette walking forward. The person smiled at him and said hello. He gave a polite nod and went back to looking around at the band posters and logos.

"Simon?" the stranger said impatiently, "What do you think?"

It took a few seconds to register, but eventually Simon realized that the stranger was Jeanette in a different outfit. Not just an outfit, her hair was redone somehow. It had the same length, but instead of being pulled back, it hung down almost to the middle of her back. Just how long had she been back there in the changing room?

When he regained his power of speech, he blushed and told her that she looked beautiful. And she truly did.

"Do you really think so?" she asked, sounding unsure of herself.

"Absolutely babe," he reassured her, stepping closer to get a better look at her new look.

"Sydney helped me pick out the shirt." she explained as the sales person, Sydney walked around the corner and smiled at Simon.

"So what do you think?" she asked, gesturing to Jeanette, "I could help you pick out a new outfit if you like. But I think we would have to go to the guys section…" She offered.

"Oh please do it Simon!" Jeanette egged on excitedly, "I want to see what you would look like as a Goth."

"He could actually pull off the look quite well." Sydney agreed, "Especially with the hair and the build."

"If you really want me to…" Simon conceded, much to Jeanette's excitement.

He allowed himself to be led away to the guy's section where Sydney picked out a couple of shirts, thankfully without bands on them, and a couple pairs of jeans and finally some belts before leading him into the back with the dressing room. She handed him one of the pairs of black jeans and a blood red shirt with black trim and swirls that took the profile of a smoky skull in the dead center on the front and back. When he stepped out, Sydney's jaw dropped and she muttered something about all the good looking guys being taken before leading him out to Jeanette.

With their similar attire, Simon and Jeanette actually looked like a couple. As they walked to the front to pay, Simon's treat of course, Sydney showed him a small glass vial of milky white liquid and told him that if he really wanted to have some fun, to just take the small applicator inside and pass it through his hair for some white stripes in his dark hair.

"Not even kidding, this stuff would look great on you no matter what you wore." Sydney mentioned, and at Jeanette's request, he bought the small glass bottle.

Before they left, Sydney even took the time to apply the first few stripes in his hair, much to Jeanette's amusement. They walked out to the bustle of the crowd of teenagers and got several approving glances from some of the surrounding populace who were in similar outfits. Simon had to admit, he definitely felt different in the new clothes and Jeanette had a new glow around her, almost like the change in fashion had brought out a new side in her personality. He liked it.

"So what are we going to do now?" she asked, interrupting his thoughts.

Simon looked at his watch and saw that they had about fifteen minutes to get over to the observatory for the show. When he explained to her that they were ten minutes away and that they needed to get back to the car, her face lit up in excitement and she practically dragged him out of the mall to drive them to the show. One thing was for certain, had he not known that it was Jeanette, he would have been very confused to see such an exuberant Goth out on the streets.

They arrived at the observatory with about three minutes to spare. They hustled up the steps to the front and were pleasantly surprised to see that the manager standing at the ticket counter. He looked at them suspiciously before realizing who they were. When he recognized them, he smiled and handed Simon the two tickets and showed them to their seats before hurrying out of the room to start the musical light show.

"What's it like Simon?" Jeanette asked quietly, careful not to disturb the other people in the theatre.

"You'll love it Jeanette," he replied, grinning like a maniac, "They start out with a view of the night sky from right overhead, then they start to show you what it's like to fly through the cosmos, and they even do close up fly-by's of the planets before finally rounding back to the sun and plunging you headfirst into a solar storm."

"Do they play music like I read?" she continued, her eyes twinkling in almost child like delight.

"Yeah, I don't know if they changed the playlist since I was here last, but last time, they played all the best songs. There was Bon Jovi, Quiet Riot, Culture Club, and there was even a few Queen songs mixed in." he told her, remembering how nice it had been to see the entire solar system while listening to some of his favorite songs.

"Is it going to start soon?" she persisted, turning in her seat to look around the spacious room.

"Sit down Jeanette, they're about to." Simon instructed her, smiling to himself at how easily amazed she was. It was just one of the many things that he liked about her.

The lights dimmed and a voice came over the speakers and announced that they were about to embark on a trip through the stars. When the voice was done, the opening riff to Coheed and Cambria's Welcome Home roared over them and they were whisked out of their seats and into the heavens.

Jeanette's eyes filled with wonder as they left the atmosphere and looked back in time to see the city zoom out as they got further and further away as they flew towards the moon and changed course right before impact to fly through the largest crater on the light side. They saw the flag from the Apollo 11 mission before continuing on. The pinpoints of light grew blurred as they accelerated enough to rapidly close the distance between the moon and Mars. In the background, Simon took note of the song reaching a crescendo in the middle of the solo.

"Here laid to rest, is A love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs
They continued through their tour of their corner of the galaxy, but by this point, Simon was concentrating on the lyrics to the song rather than the visions overhead.

You stormed off to scar the armada
Like Jesus played martyr
I'll drill through your hands

The stone for the curse you have blamed me
With love and devotion, I'll die as you sleep."

"One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl,
I'd do anything for you

One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl
Before I hope you die."

When the song was over, he refocused on the scene overhead and tried to figure out where they were. He had effectively zoned out for the whole of Jupiter and Saturn and they were now fast approaching the moons of Uranus. As the music died down and they rounded the largest moon Titania, the song changed from the angry, warlike tones to a mellower and gentler tone. While Jeanette was enjoying the view of the heavens and the lights, Simon tried to figure out what the song was. It took him a few seconds longer than normal, but he eventually remembered the name as Ecstasy of Gold by Ennio Morricone.

While the notes played out poetically, Simon relaxed into his seat and wrapped his arm around Jeanette's shoulders. She sighed and reclined against him as much as the seats would allow for the rest of the song. It was a short but blessed moment in Simon's life that he would remember for quite some time to come. As they finished their tour of all 27 moons and the planet itself, he found himself getting slightly excited at the approach of his favorite planet, Neptune.

When Neptune was in sight, a faint bluish haze on the sky, the songs again shuffled. They began to play the unforgettable opening riffs to The Final Countdown. As the first few lines started, the view on the dome above closed in on the icy surface of the planet and took them down a ravine in the barren crust. Simon mouthed the lyrics as they went down into the vein of weakened crust and came up out of the other side and made their way back to the first three planets so fast that the stars seemed to melt away.

"We're leaving together
but still it's farewell
and maybe we'll come back,
to earth, who can tell?

I guess there is no one to blame
we're leaving ground (leaving ground)
will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown.

The final countdown.

Oh, We're heading for Venus (Venus)
and still we stand tall
cause maybe they've seen us
and welcome us all, yeah
with so many light years to go
and things to be found (to be found)
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so
It's the final countdown."

The music continued and Jeanette's grip on Simon's shoulder continued to tighten as they continued to accelerate, finally slowing down as they passed Earth. They did a rather rushed tour of the Venus and Mercury as the music reached its crescendo before plunging straight at the surface of the sun. Though the image and light were artificial, Simon still had to squint to keep his eyes from being burned up from the sheer intensity of it all. Suddenly, the room grew dark once again and the lights came on as the song and subsequently the show ended.

Jeanette continued to stare at the dome for a few minutes before turning to Simon and grinning like a lunatic. Her only words were, "Wow"

"So I take it that you liked that?" Simon asked sarcastically.

"Yeah!" she replied excitedly, "That was the better than anything I've seen in the movies in forever."

"Yeah well, next time you want to come here for it, just let me know okay." He offered, satisfied that she had enjoyed it, "You ready to go see the real night sky now?"

"As long as you're there." She said silkily, leaning her head on his shoulder for a minute or two before getting up and dragging him behind her to get going.

They got to the car in record time thanks to Jeanette's eagerness. The strange thing was that she was very talkative all the way up until Simon turned the key in the ignition and she suddenly quieted down. Simon didn't think anything of it until about ten minutes had passed during their drive and they were almost to the field.

"What's bugging you?" he asked suddenly, abruptly shattering the silence that had fallen over her.

"Huh?" she responded, surprised at first, her face flushed red, "Oh, I was just thinking about something that Britney told me about her first date with Alvin."

"What was that?" Simon inquired, having heard nothing about his brother's relationship with Britney, he was genuinely interested.

"It was something she told me about what happened after the movie was over." Jeanette said, trying to build up to what she was actually trying to say, "She said that after the official date was over, that they did stuff." Her face was now absolutely crimson.

"Well, what kind of stuff?" Simon asked, still not quite getting the clue.

"You know, like… personal stuff." She continued, still unable to fully articulate what she wanted.

"They talked about stuff in their personal lives?" he guessed, this time showing just how totally clueless he was.

"Sexual things Simon," Jeanette blurted out, causing him to tense up a little, "they did sexual things."

"Oh…" was his only response as he parked the car and got out to open Jeanette's door for her.

"I just made this whole thing awkward didn't I?" she asked ashamedly, stepping out of the car and grabbing the blanket that she had brought from the backseat.

"No, you didn't make it awkward." He reassured her, laughing a little bit at the hilarity of the whole situation.

"Simon?" she started, trying to get his attention.

"Yes?" he responded, looking back at her as he led the way down the path toward the open space a few dozen yards away from the parking lot.

"Can I just say something now," she began, starting again when she saw his head nod that he was listening, "I really like you a lot. More than any guy I've ever met. But I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me based on my sisters."

"I know you three are different from each other." he interrupted, "that's why I go out with you instead of Eleanor or Britney."

"What I mean is… I would do anything for you that you could want; I just don't want to have sex." She said, half expecting him to try and persuade her differently. She was therefore surprised when he smiled in agreement and started to speak reassuringly.

"I agree with you." He began, enjoying the expression of shock on her face before continuing, "I like you more than any person on the planet, but I don't think we're ready to do something like that yet. No matter what our siblings do; but I want to make something completely clear…"

"What's that Simon?"

"I want you to know that if there's anything that you want me to do short of actually having sex, don't hesitate to ask and I'll do anything I can to make sure you're happy."

"Okay Simon." she agreed, smiling because there was something she wanted him to do for her that she had heard about from Britney. But she would wait and bring it up when they were out in the high grass of the field. She wanted the mood to be just right.

They got to the center of the field and laid out the blanket. When it was all set up, Simon took his jacket and rolled it up in a long tube so that they could have something soft to rest their heads on, and they lay out under the canopy of stars overhead. Simon was staring off into space when Jeanette decided that he was a better pillow than his jacket and she put her head gingerly on his chest. He didn't complain, rather, he enjoyed the fact that she felt so comfortable around him.

She suddenly spoke, "Simon, I can hear your heart beating."

"Oh? What does it sound like?" he asked.

"It sounds like it's speeding up a little bit." Jeanette answered, her hand moving from on top of her stomach to across his chest.

"Uh-huh…" he said as he took notice of Jeanette moving her hand across his chest, fingers splayed to feel every inch of him.

"Do you know what I want to do?" she asked, looking into his eyes.

"No, I thought that you wanted to go stargazing. Do you have something else in mind?" he answered.

"I was thinking something more along the lines of carnal delights." She answered, surprising him by going suddenly from on her back to kneeling on top of him, her legs on either side of his hips.

"Jeanette?" he asked, confused and a little taken aback by her sudden show of dominance.

"Shhhh, let's just enjoy this night okay?" she instructed, silencing him suddenly by crushing his lips with hers in a passionate kiss that stunned him completely except in one particular place that Jeanette felt clear as day.

"Ooh, looks like some parts of you are ready to have some fun." She said seductively, running her hands across his chest as she moved her kissing down his jaw line and finally onto his neck.

Simon just lay there stunned and amazed as the beautiful girl he loved ground her hips against his rock hard erection. He knew that they didn't have a lot of time out here, but he'd be damned if they didn't have some fun. He grabbed her around her waist and rolled until he was on top of her and he was kissing her while his hands roamed along her sides moving upwards.

Jeanette thought that she was in heaven, she had hoped that he would take the hint and take control, but he had definitely exceeded her expectations when he flipped them and dominated her absolutely. Now she got to lay there and relax as he overloaded her with sensation. His mouth was roaming up and down her neck as she began to moan slightly from pleasure. But the real fun was happening lower as his hands began to move up her sides and brushed her chest so softly that she yearned for more. Then his knee moved from her side to in between her legs. She was confused about what he was doing until he brought it up, moving her skirt with it, and began to grind against her aching arousal. She didn't think it could get any better until one of his hands stopped roaming her side and moved down until it was brushing the bare flesh of her upper thigh.

Simon had NO idea what he was doing, but judging from her reactions, he was doing something right. He finally decided to gather up his courage and moved his right hand, the one running up and down her side, down to the hem of her blouse and pulled it out slowly, waiting for her to object. The objection never came and he continued. Once he was able, he slipped one hand under the fabric around her torso and ran his fingers, nails down, across the soft skin of her stomach until he found what he was looking for. While this was all happening, his left hand had inched up her thigh slowly and was now brushing the edge of her panties that clung so tightly to her wonderful form.

"Ooh Simon!" she moaned, her nails sinking slightly into his back as she held him closer.

"Mmm-hm." He answered, his mind already preoccupied with what he had planned for her.

His hand crept around her back and flicked the small flap of hooks that restrained her. When he felt the slack in the material, he took both hands from what they were doing and pushed her shirt up until she noticed and raised her arms to help him. When her shirt was thrown away from them in a wad, Simon was hit by the realization that this was actually happening. He grinned maniacally as he helped her edge the bra off and started to gently massage her breasts. Jeanette threw her head back as a wave of new sensations hit her like a truck and she found that she completely loved them.

When he put his lips to her stiffened nipples, she felt like she was going to burst into flames from her arousal. This did not go unnoticed either, Simon saw what he was doing and took his right hand and led it slowly down her stomach and across the front of her skirt until it once again found the edge of the fabric. He went out of his way to brush her inner thigh lightly as he got closer to the heat of her arousal. She gasped when he found his target and smoothly ran his fingers over the outline her mound made underneath the thin lace and felt the moisture coming from her warm slit. Who knew Jeanette could be this sexy?

Jeanette was in heaven. She was laying there as her boyfriend took her on a cruise of pleasure. The least she could do was return the favor. While he was fumbling around with her breasts and feeling her up over her panties, she reached down and roughly gripped the bulge that had been growing since they started. She wasn't sure who was more surprised, her or him. She was amazed by the size of him, and he just looked stunned that she was actually groping him. He didn't stop though, so neither did she; while he peeled her underwear away from her groin, she reached for the buckle of his pants and flicked the small piece of brass. When that was out of the way, she unzipped the fly and reached in, amazed to feel just how hot he was. She could feel his pulse going through his cock and when she pulled it out, started to stroke it softly, slowly, afraid that she would hurt him if she did anything wrong.

Simon was so happy he didn't know what to do. While Jeanette was fumbling with his erection, he had been trying to take care of her as best he could. He had heard stories from Alvin and had seen videos online so he felt he knew what he was doing as he gently ran one finger up the moist slit and found the clitoris at the apex of the lips. He flicked it gently and noticed a shiver run through his girlfriend. He wondered for a second if she was okay, but decided that there was only one way to tell for sure, so he flicked the small nib of flesh again and was pleased to hear her groan in pleasure. After a few more seconds of playing with her, he gently pressed his middle finger to the folds of moistened flesh and was surprised at how easily he slid in. he pushed until his middle finger was buried in her up to the knuckle and was pleased to see that she had started to stroke him harder and faster than before as a response to the sensations she was feeling.

Oh my god! Jeanette thought to herself, she was in ecstasy, she could feel him entering her and it felt so good. There was a small twinge of pain at first, but that was because she had only ever used her own fingers and his were much larger. But the best part was when he reached up and scraped the top of the wall. His fingernail actually managed to find in an instant her G-Spot and there was nothing to compare the sensation to. He must have noticed her seize up around him, because he kept pumping his finger in and out, careful to scrape her clit and her G-Spot every time he penetrated her. If he didn't stop, she would cum.

Simon liked what he was able to do to her. In under a minute, he had not only found her clit, but also the one spot that seemed to elicit the biggest reaction out of her he had ever seen. His arm was beginning to get sore, but he didn't mind in the slightest. She had long since stopped pumping him, but that just made it easier for him to concentrate on pleasing her. He kept pumping for another minute and suddenly, she lurched forward and threw her arms around him, holding him close. As he felt her nails dig into his back again, he also felt the walls of muscle around his finger go rigid and start pumping against him. He started to pull out of her, but Jeanette stopped him by whispering, "Please, don't, it feels so good." When her orgasm had finally stopped, he looked down at her and saw her staring right back at him, a new emotion in her eyes than he had ever seen before. Was this what Desire looked like?

Jeanette pushed herself upright when Simon had rolled off of her to let her breathe. And she really needed it after what had just happened. That was the most intense orgasm she had ever felt in her life. Better even than what she normally did for herself. She looked over at him and saw him staring off into space, literally. She looked up and was amazed to see why, she saw a trail of light as a small meteor shower pass by…it was beautiful. When it had passed, she turned on her side to smile at Simon. He looked at her and smiled back, a small glow coming from him as he did. She wondered quickly just how much of a glow she had. Jeanette was ready to keep going, but Simon suddenly sat up and grabbed her bra and shirt. He tossed them to her and she caught them, a confused look on his face.

"Come on sweets," he said, using the pet name no one else knew about, "It's time to go before your mom kills me."

"What time is it?" she asked, looking at her cell phone as she did. Her jaw dropped when she saw that it was almost quarter after 11. It took at least ten minutes to drive to her house.

She hooked on her bra quickly and threw on her new shirt while Simon gathered up his jacket and rolled up the blanket, she realized with a blush that she had probably left a fresh spot of cum in the middle of it from their little adventure. When they were all collected, they ran for the car. Jeanette had never been so glad for the lights over the path in her life. They got to the car in just under a minute and were on the road in even less time, peeling off towards her house.

"I really liked tonight." She said, trying to break the silence.

"Yeah, I really liked tonight too." Simon answered, grinning at her out of the corner of his mouth.

"Can we do it again sometime?" Jeanette asked, longing just barely veiled in her voice.

"The show or the park?" Simon retorted.

"I was hoping we could go do something different next time, but I definitely want to end the night the same way." She told him, a childish joy in her words.

"Okay, we'll see how it plays out then. Who knows," he said slyly, "I could get some tips from Theo about places to have a little fun somewhere new."

"I'd like that a lot," Jeanette said seriously, "But next time, I think you're the one that's going to have the most fun."

"Now that's a promise I like!" he replied excitedly.

They pulled up to her house with five minutes to spare, but Miss Miller was still out on the porch, a baseball bat across her lap and a no nonsense look in her eyes that shone through the darkness and the distance. They walked up to the porch and she gave a grudging nod of approval before telling them that they had three minutes to say goodnight and then she'd be back outside to shoo Simon away. When the door was shut, Simon turned to Jeanette and started to say good bye.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow?"

"As long as we can have some fun alone," she answered silkily, "I'd love to."

"Okay then, I'll see what I can do then." Simon promised before leaning in to kiss her gently on the lips.

They stood there on the front porch for who knows how long before pulling away and going their separate ways, each one looking forward to the next day and the promise of pleasure to come.

WELL, I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THAT. SORRY IF IT WENT A LITTLE MORE MATURE THERE TOWARDS THE END, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY, "It's always the quiet ones." IN ANY CASE, I'M SORRY FOR THE LONG DELAY, BUT I HAVE BEEN HAVING COMPUTER PROBLEMS. I AM A LITTLE TIED UP FOR THE MOMENT SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO POST CHAPTER 18, BUT I WILL STRIVE FOR SATURDAY OR SUNDAY. R&R AND SEND ME A MESSAGE WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR IDEAS.

Happy Reading,
