“ You should know better. I’ m just a dumb kid,” Justin said as they ran for the door. Thanking his dad for teaching him how to drive, he picked up the keys to Nicole’ s little car, thinking.“ You didn’ t tell me about sex, Dad, but you taught me to drive and it’ s coming in pretty handy right now.” Justin had driven his father’ s truck for the last year every time they went fishing. Nicole’ s car on pavement was easy compared to the truck on dirt roads and cow paths. Nicole had even let him drive around the empty school parking lot a couple of times.
Opening the door for Shelby, he ran around the car, climbed behind the wheel and started the car.“ Buckle up,” he laughed, and was a little late with the suggestion. He drove her home with a few minutes to spare.“ Wait here. I just have to let them know I’ m home. And you drive pretty good,” Shelby said climbing from the car and running for the door. Justin watched as she stuck her head in the front door and yelled something. Shelby returned to the passenger seat.“ We can continue the debate and find out if making out in a car is as good as the couch,” she said reaching over and turning off the car. Shelby explained her parents would call on her phone when they wanted her to come inside. They picked up where they left off. The phone notified them time was up an hour later and Shelby had to say good night.“ I’ ll call you tomorrow,” Justin said.“ That is what I expect from my new boyfriend,” she said, putting a period at the end of the sentence with a quick kiss.
They put the seats into their upright position. He drove home carefully. Only one car passed him on the way. When he saw the headlights he prayed it was not a cop. His heart hammered in his chest as he pulled the car into the driveway. The house was quiet as he plopped onto the sofa. Shelby had left his head spinning. He was not sure what was expected when he drove her home. When his hand brushed her breast she said,“ Too fast.”“ This is my first time driving a girl home,” he shrugged.“ Tell me something I don’ t know.”“ I think your beautiful.”“ It’ s a figure of speech,” Shelby laughed.“ I know. But I like to hear your laughter. It sounds like church bells,” he said bringing forth more of the sound he could listen to all night.“ That’ s an odd analogy considering...” she said, looking at the position they had taken in the car.“ Yeah but it made you laugh.”“ I’ ve laughed a lot today. This has been the best date ever.”“ This has been the best day of my life,” he stated, looking deeply into her eyes.“ I know I said too fast when you touched me and I appreciate the fact that you stopped. But I would kinda like to see what has been between us all evening,” she said, sliding her hand over the front of his jeans and began to unbutton his shirt. Justin looked around nervously as she whispered that her parents were cool and would not come out to check on them. She felt him gasp as her fingers traced the bare skin just above his belt.“ Okay?” she asked, as she loosened the belt. He nodded and found her lips again. She felt him tremble and it turned her on to know she was the one in control. Freeing him from the confines of his jeans, she decided to give him a hand in relieving the pressure she had caused.
Shelby liked the way he kissed and he never moved his hand to the back of her head asking for more than she was willing to offer. He also did not try to undress her in the driveway of her home. She knew he would call and remain a faithful boyfriend when she felt him moan in her mouth. Her tongue moved over and around his. Her hand matched the rhythm of the heated kiss as she finished what she started. Finding a box of tissue in the glove box, she placed the sheets from his neck to his navel.“ Can’ t have you going home like that,” she said, helping him get back together. She placed her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat as he softly stroked her hair.“ I had the best day too,” she said and stayed just like that until her phone chimed.
The stair squeaking interrupted his daydream. Nicole looked into the den.“ I need Shelby’ s address so I can get my car,” she said.
