"You're very quiet tonight. Something wrong?"
Since leaving the movie theater, Joey and Tessie had walked, side by side, in silence. It was a hot night, and Joey's pale yellow knit shirt clung to his back. He shrugged his shoulders, trying to unstick the shirt from his skin. Tessie's quietness made him feel even more uncomfortable.
"Did I say something to upset you?"
Looking at the ground as she walked, Tessie shook her head to indicate that he hadn't. Tears brimmed in her eyes and she didn't want him to see them.
"Tessie, please talk to me. You're making me feel terrible."
She looked at him then, tears trickling down her cheeks. "It was the movie: it made me sad."
"The movie made you sad?" he asked incredulously. "I didn't know you found time to watch any of it, what with all that we were doing."
Tessie laughed, appreciating his attempt to make her feel better. "I guess that was a silly answer. I'm just depressed, I guess. Nothing big deal though."
They walked a while longer, silence between them again. Tessie didn't say anything else and Joey felt awkward, not knowing how to handle the situation. He liked her, liked her more than he wanted to, and he felt bad that she was upset.
"Tessie, why don't you talk about what's bothering you? Maybe I could help." He put his arm around her, drawing her closer to him and hugging her affectionately. "I'd like to help."
"Why? It has nothing to do with you." For some reason, Tessie said the words defiantly. Immediately feeling sorry, she added: "I don't want to burden you with my problems… Besides, I'm not even sure I know what the problems are."
Slightly annoyed by how she had spoken to him, Joey dropped his arm from around Tessie's shoulders. "It isn't a burden… We have been going out for a long time now." And, adding sarcasm to sarcasm: "You'd think you'd trust me by now."
"Joey! It has nothing to do with trusting. If you want to know, I'm just concerned about… about… well, about a lot of things. They'll puzzle themselves out eventually."
They walked past an all night diner, and, seeing that it wasn't too crowded, Joey asked Tessie if she'd like to have something to eat. Always eager for a midnight snack, Tessie agreed and they entered the diner and found an empty table, all the way in the back, against the wall. Tessie always picked the most remote table she could find and this night was no different.
After the waitress took their orders, pancakes for her, cheeseburger for him, they looked across the table at each other, each pair of eyes seeking a clue as to how the other felt. When their eyes met, they both smiled. Joey looked away, embarrassed by his show of affection, and Tessie giggled, glad for it.
"I'm sorry, Joey. I didn't mean to snap at you. I really would like to talk to someone… to you." Her eyelashes fluttered.
"I'm still listening." Joey poured ketchup on the cheeseburger in front of him, then salted it and placed the pickle directly in the middle of the burger., "Talk to me now, there's no one close enough to hear anything."
Tessie stopped forking the heavily syruped blueberry pancakes into her mouth and took a swill of hot coffee. It burned down her throat but she took another sip anyhow. Then, sighing, she sat straight back against the red plastic seat, and fumbled in her bag for a pack of cigarettes. Lighting one, inhaling deeply, she was ready to tell Joey what had been bothering her.
She told him all about how she wanted to lose her virginity and how she had plotted to do so. She told him about Mr. Sands, about Nick, and about Jeanie. And she told him that now she was all confused, not sure what sex was really all about, or what she wanted from it. She admitted to liking it, liking it very much, that she was bothered that maybe she even liked it too much.
All the while she spoke, Joey stared wide-eyed at her, amazed by every detail, hardly noticing that he had eaten his entire cheeseburger and two pickles. out of the bowl on the table. He had had no idea that Tessie was so promiscuous. He was stunned and he was hurt.
"Jesus, Tessie! Was I part of your fucking plot? Do I get a prize for being the lucky bastard who split your cunt?"
Tessie jerked her head in astonishment. She didn't understand why Joey was angry. Why should he be angry? Who she fucked around with shouldn't bother him, and besides, he should feel good about being the one to have gotten her cherry. Only one guy in the whole world could get the damn thing. It was a prize of a sort.
He shoved his plate out of his way and put his coke in its place: "So what's your problem? Don't know who to fuck next?" He sipped the coke up through the straw, angrily drinking down the sickly sweet soda, trying to fill his belly with something else besides pain.
"Joey, what the hell are you mad at? I really don't understand." Tessie felt like she was about to cry again.
He looked at Tessie, his eyes squinting, concentrating on her. She looked helpless, frightened even. His anger left him and he wanted to hold her again, he wanted to kiss her. Joey called the waitress to bring the check, and he put a tip on the table.
"Come on, we'll take a walk, and we'll talk.
I'm not really mad, I just wasn't prepared for what you told me. It just isn't what I expected."
Joey paid the bill and they left. Walking down a side street, he took her hand and squeezed it tightly, glad that the night was dark and she couldn't see his face… or he see hers.
"Tessie it hurt me to hear about all those guys. I… I thought that I was the only one that you did it with. I guess that was foolish. I just took it for granted. There really isn't any reason for you not to… er, not to go with other guys, or play around with Jeanie."
She tried to look at him, but it really was too dark to make out his features. "Joey, don't you fuck other girls? She was afraid he'd say no, more afraid he'd say yes. She tried to shut her ears, grimacing her face up in the attempt.
"Well, yeah! But not half as much as you… as you fuck around. Christ, Tessie, I don't think anyone does." At least he hoped not. He'd hate to have been missing out on something good.
"Well, maybe I like it more than most. Is that so terrible? Is it, Joey? I really want to… really need to know."
He thought about it a moment. He wanted to tell her that it was, that she was wrong, that she should stop, but he couldn't find a logical reason to give her. He had to face the fact that his reaction was just pure jealousy, that he really cared more for Tessie than he had allowed himself to believe.
"No," he unhappy conceded. "It isn't terrible at all. It is very normal and very healthy… for your head and for your body. I'm sorry that I said what I said." He dosed his eyes and took a deep breath, screwing up his courage to say just one more thing. For him, these were the hardest words of all. "I like you, Tessie, very much, and I'm jealous of all those others. What you've done isn't wrong, but I… I don't like sharing you."
They turned down another side street, still. holding hands. The night had grown slightly cooler, and occasionally they'd see a cluster of stars, twinkling faintly against the blue-black sky.
"I like it best with you, Joey. With you it's different. I never think of you the way I think of the other guys. With you I feel relaxed, like it isn't just fucking, but something else."
"What is it?"
"I don't know."
"Oh."
"I feel something good with you." She thought about it another moment. "I think it is because I like you and I don't necessarily like the others."
"Did you like me when you got me to take your virginity?"
Tessie laughed ironically, and shook her head "That's the funniest part about it all. You are the only person I didn't figure on. I didn't even think of you as having a cock when I first went to your place that day."
"Thanks."
"Oh come on," she soothed the ego she had offended. "Honestly, all I meant was that I liked being with you, 'cause you were nice, and different – right from the start. Besides, you didn't even think of sex, if you remember. I had to throw myself at you."
"Well, I'm the type you gotta hit on the head, I guess." He squeezed Tessie's hand again, feeling even closer to her now.
"Joey, I'm glad it was you. I'm glad you were my first, 'cause no matter how much time goes by, I'll always remember the first time with you and how nice you made it."
He didn't know what to say, so he said nothing.
"Do you really not want me to… do it, with anyone else?"
"I'd like it if you wouldn't, but I don't know if I'd make such a promise."
"Maybe I won't then, I gotta think about it some more."
"Me too."
He stopped walking and took her by the hand, bringing her up against his body. Joey's arms went around her waist, and he kissed her, softly, fondly on the lips. And a moment later he was thrusting his tongue passionately into her mouth, suddenly very much aroused.
Tessie parted her lips and hungrily sucked his tongue into her mouth, then licked at it with her own eager tongue. She slithered her body along his; his cockhead nestled between her legs. Tessie's panties slipped between her cuntlips and nudged her clitoris awake.
"Joey," she whispered, "I like you very much. With you it is very special. You've taught me that sex isn't what I thought it was… It is really so much more… It's – "
He kissed her again, his hand sliding up to cup her breast through the lightweight summer shift she wore. He felt for her nipple and, finding it, crushed the palm of his hand against it.
"It's more, Tessie, because we are… you and me. We mean something to each other. Tessie, I… I have a lot of plans, plans that I want to carry out, and…"
"Joey, we are fifteen years old, and we both have plans. Let's just ride it out. Okay?"
"Okay."
They looked at one another, each staring deeply into the other's mind, each wondering, each confused. Their hands held tightly for a moment, and then they kissed again. This time Joey caressed both of Tessie's breasts, melting the flesh concealed beneath the dress.
"You want to go up to the roof?" Joey indicated the building behind him.
"Mmmmmm."
The door of the apartment house was unlocked, so they opened it and climbed the six stories to the roof of the building.
It was dark and spooky on the roof, and cool summer breezes stirred sooty dust all about. But the young couple didn't notice all that as they embraced, leaning against the brick-enclosed skylight.
Joey's hands groped at Tessie's dress, lifting it up over her thighs and bunching it together around her waist. His right hand undid the zipper of his jeans, and he pulled free his penis, hard and ready to fuck into Tessie's creaming cunt. As he freed his hard-on, his left hand tugged at Tessie's panties, pulling them away from her body so that he could finger her pussy.
"Oh, nice," she breathed into his ear, and then licked her tongue around the sensitive earlobe. "Mmmmmm!"
His fingers found her moist slit, and he slipped one finger inside of it, as far as it would go. Tessie spread her thighs and squatted down onto the finger, rotating her pelvis at the same time. Her cunthole dilated, making room for the two more fingers he tickled up inside her. As he masturbated Tessie, Joey's cock throbbed against her belly, searching for the warmth of her body. Wetness coating his fingers, Joey was hotter than ever tonight, and he took his prick in hand and aimed it between her pussylips, bending awkwardly to maneuver the hot pole into her.
She stiffened her back and stood on tiptoes, trying to help Joey's cock get into her, and, between the two of them, they conquered the uncomfortable, strange position. His cock stabbed up into the hot entranceway, his thickness stretching her cunt walls open, and he was buried up to the balls inside Tessie's cunt.
"Aggghhhh!" Tessie drew in sharply, her breath catching in her throat as he fucked into her. "Oh, Joey, I like it. It feels so very good."
He pumped up into her, slid slowly down, and then pumped up into her again. On the down strokes, his prick shaft stroked along her clitoris, making the love button quiver with arousal and anticipation. On the in strokes his prick pressed the bud down, making it grow harder. She felt his balls slapping against her and she reached down to cup them in her hand, kneading them gently, squeezing them erotically. His cock grew harder, longer it seemed, and he filled her cunt with his heat.
"Oh, Joey… I'm going to come. Come with me, come inside me." She wiggled her pussy on his prick, her cunt massaging the pulsating rod within her, her ass scraping against the brick wall as she leaned against it. "Oh, oh… nice… it is… ooohhhhhHHHHI"
When she began to come, Tessie's body went limp and she slumped against Joey, almost pushing him away from her. He held the wall with one hand, Tessie with the other, and he savagely pierced his cock in and out of her. Her juices coated his organ, making it slide more easily in and out, as he pistoned up and down faster now: Her orgasm induced his, and he thrust his tongue into her mouth as he came, both tongue and cock moving deeply into her, as if to meet somewhere inside of Tessie.
Tessie's orgasm started to subside, her hips slowing their movements, but when she felt Joey's sperm sear into her, filling her pussy with its stickiness, she fucked him back again. He's coming, coming inside my pussy, she thought, and the idea of his spunk jetting into her brought about still another orgasm.
Her come poured down onto his cock, coated it and oozed along its length. His come squirted up to her, filled her and then joined with all the other hot liquids bubbling inside of Tessie's gripping quim. Thick blobs of fuck juice leaked out of her spasming pussy, puddling between their bodies, both of them becoming smeared with the raunchy sex.
When their passions quieted, Tessie and Joey cleaned up the pools of come, using Joey's handkerchief, and readjusted their clothing. Afterwards, the young teenage couple stood at the edge of the roof, picking out familiar places as they spotted them, counting stars, and talking about everything, from what had happened in school that day to what they wanted to be when they grew up.
"That's my building over there," pointed Joey, remembering the English textbook opened on his desk, waiting to be studied.
"That's where I catch the bus to home," Tessie indicated, remembering Jack and wondering if she'd get his bus tonight.
"Maybe. we'd better be getting home," Joey suggested
"Yes, my mother is going to be really pissed. What time is it?"
"I don't know," Joey shrugged. "Probably close to morning."
Their bodies moved together again, and seconds later they were lying on the dirty, tarred ground of the roof, humping against each other, tearing at each other's clothing.
Once more, she thought.
Just one more time, he thought.
They fucked again… and again… and…
