"Charlene," Peter startled me.  I hadn't seen him come up 
on my left.  "May I have the pleasure of this dance?"  He meant 
the  formality to be ironic.  Peter's sense of humor is his best  
characteristic; that and his loyalty.  But still.... 

"I don't think so," I told him. 

"Then dance with me and make me miserable.  C'mon Sharl, Dave 
is dancing with Melissa.  You dance with other boys." 

"But you and I were an item once, Peter -- a long time 
ago." 

"Before you were a cheerleader."  Before I had boobs, he 
meant. 

"If it was only a dance, I might.  But you want the past back, 
and it's gone.  I'm Dave's girl now.  Find your own." 

"C'mon Sharl.  All I asked you for was a dance.  Do I have to 
beg?" 

"Please don't.  You know I hate that."  Peter's begging had 
always annoyed me, even when he was the only boy who looked at  
me.  It was his worst characteristic.  That and his persistence.  
It is hard to tell persistence from loyalty sometimes, but even  
so.... 

We stood there until the music stopped, not talking to each 
other but not quite ignoring each other.  Sometimes I miss the 
friendship that Peter and I had.  It had started out much less 
boy-girl than friend-friend.  We had studied together, played 
together, and talked together.  When I had first gone after Dave, 
Peter had even given me advice.  He'd taken me to dances when 
Dave had ignored me.  The year I went from a training bra to C 
cups, he was the only boy I would trust at all.  That is when our 
friendship really turned into dating.  Then I went up from C to 
D, my hips started to catch up with my bust, and Dave did notice 
me.  Now we couldn't -- I couldn't -- go back. 

"Get lost, dweeb," Dave said.  I hadn't heard him come up 
either. Peter left.  "If he bothers you, tell me and I'll punch 
him out." 

"He wasn't bothering me."  Not in that way. "Peter's an old 
friend; I wouldn't appreciate your beating him up.  It's not your 
style, anyway.  You pick on kids your own size." 

"You're my fan club, Shar," Dave said with a smile.  "I keep  
telling you.  Backs don't pick on the defense.  I only bump into  
a guard when I do something wrong." 

"Modesty!  I didn't know you had it in you.  Even when  you're 
carrying, not blocking, you go in the way of danger."  Every word 
of that was true, except the modesty.  Dave is good and knows 
it. 

"Anyway, let's dance."  That's another thing I like about  
Dave.  He doesn't quite twist my arm, but he decides.  A man  
tells you, he doesn't beg you. 

We look good together on the dance floor.  We're not one of  
the spectacular couples, but we do have some good moves.  Anyway,  
the fanciest dancers are only known as dancers.  Most of the  
school looks up to Dave-and-Charlene most of the time.  I need  
that, I was miserable my freshman and sophomore years; I'm going  
to be a freshman again next year.  I'll be damned if I'm going to  
spend my senior year as a Cinderella. 

Then they changed to a slow tune.  I came into Dave's arms  
and followed his lead.  It's only a symbol, but it's an important  
one.  Dave takes the lead all the time. 

He decided when we would leave the dance, as well.  I knew  we 
were headed for our usual place, the shadow of a culvert over  a 
dry wash.  We park enough below road level to give us some  
privacy, but *way* above the floor of the ravine. 

He had driven me there on our second date, going directly  and 
not searching at all.  I had known then that I wasn't the  first 
girl he had taken there, but I hadn't cared.  We had kissed  
then, kissed for the longest time.  Dave is a gentleman by his  
own standards; we hadn't parked on our first date, he hadn't  
groped my breasts on the second.  When he had removed my bra on  
our fourth date, though, I had been afraid that he would try to  
have me naked on the next one. 

I needn't have worried.  The breasts had been what he was  
after, on every date he has lavished them with kisses, stroked  
them, sucked on them, buried his face in the valley between them.  
I've snickered at girls who come to school with hickeys on their  
necks; since I have gym Thursdays this year, none of the girls  
have seen the hickeys that Dave sometimes leaves on my 
breasts. 

This night, after we moved to the back seat, all of Dave's  
attention while he was kissing me was on unzipping my dress and  
unfastening my bra.  Once that was done, however, he stopped  
rushing.  The breasts got his undivided attention until long  
after I was ready for him to go on.  My desire had peaked into an  
ache before he buried his head between them and kissed to each  
side.  That was part of the ritual. 

We kissed again while he made his preparations.  He moved  
back and reached under my skirt.  When my panties and pantyhose  
were on the back shelf, he kissed each nipple in turn before  
pulling my skirt up to my waist.  I wanted him, if a little less  
than I had five minutes before.  I wanted him to pleasure me, to  
fill me, but also to cover me and control me. 

He opened the door on the left side, and I straightened out on 
the seat.  The air was cool on my feet, but I wouldn't feel that 
for very long.  His own feet stretched much further out while he 
fitted himself between my legs. 

"Put me in," he said.  I spread myself with my left hand  
while holding him with my right.  The feel of the greasy rubber  
didn't excite me, but it did reassure.  Still I waited, feeling  
his eagerness, his hardness, his desire -- thwarting him for one  
second. 

"I love you, Shar," he said.  Then, fitted into my entrance,  
he took back control.  He pressed forward until I was full of  
him, then paused while we both made adjustments.  I reached up  
with my right hand to feel his back and the hard muscles flowing  
beneath his skin.  The back of my left hand felt the tension in  
his stomach.  He held my shoulder with one hand and held himself  
up with the other. 

Then he raised up a little further and began moving in and  
out.  His driving thrusts filled me, pushed me forward as his  
hand pulled me back, spread and raised my thighs each time.  His  
excitement pushed me towards the edge.  When he sped up, I knew  
to stroke myself.  Between the fullness, his friction within, and  
mine on my little nub, I spiraled higher and higher. 

"Oh fuck!" he called as he lost all control, "Oh God!"  The  
driving pressure took me over.  I barely heard his grunts as he  
emptied himself into the rubber. 

Then we were lying there.  Dave was sprawled over me,  
weighing me down.  I couldn't catch my breath and my feet were  
freezing.  My shoulder was sore where he had been grasping it, my  
head was pressed against the door, and my neck was bent at an odd  
angle.  Finally he stirred and raised himself.  He passed me a  
pocket package of Kleenex.  I cleaned myself up while he removed  
the rubber and wrapped it in a couple of tissues. 

He kissed my breasts one last time before he let me put the  
bra on again.  He dashed into the front seat with his clothes,  
slamming the back door behind him.  I needed the space for  
struggling back into my dress.  Still I wished he would talk to  
me then. 

It hasn't always been like this. 

Last spring, he had driven me out away from everything on a  
Saturday.  After we'd had the simple picnic I'd made for us, he'd  
shaken out the blanket that we'd eaten on.  Then he'd folded it  
over and put it on a level piece of ground in the shade of his  
car.  While we'd lain on this, he'd given real attention to  
kissing my mouth and face and ears and neck.  It hadn't been his  
usual -- something to do while he unbuttoned the top.  He had  
unbuttoned the top, though, and had continued down to the breasts  
he loves so much. 

When we were both topless in the full daylight he'd turned  to 
these, lipping, licking, sucking, teasing -- holding,  stroking, 
patting, even squeezing.  I had been more turned on  than I had 
ever been before his hands had gone to my waist.  I hadn't been 
planning on that, but neither had it been a total surprise. 

Ridiculously, my greatest worry just then had been his  
response to the old, faded panties under my jeans.  So I'd  
accepted their removal without even token complaint. 

He'd kissed my mouth again.  They were full kisses, hungry  
kisses, wet kisses.  But they hadn't kept his full attention.  
When his clothes were off, he'd continued those kisses while  
stroking between my legs.  With his hand there and his mouth on  
my breasts, I felt myself spiraling upward; but I was still  
worried. 

"I'm not sure," I had told him.  "I'm scared...."  Scared of  
what might happen, scared that it might hurt, scared that my  
parents would be able to tell, scared that he'd tell his friends.  
I was scared of crossing a line I couldn't cross back. 

"Don't be," he'd said, "I have something." He'd climbed  
between my legs.  "Here feel."  I had felt, felt the slippery  
rubber, felt the size of what he wanted to put in me. 

"I don't," I'd started. 

"Yes you do.  I love you Shar, I want us to be one.  Now put  
it in."  I still hesitated as he pushed forward.  "Put it in,  
Shar!"  I guided it to my opening.  He pushed forward until the  
tip was lodged within me.  "Oh Shar.  Oh, I do love you." 

He'd pushed a little further; I'd felt stretched, not quite  
stretched enough to hurt.  "Oh, Shar.  You are so tight." 

Then he'd shoved himself half way in.  It had hurt.  What I  
had minded most was that he hadn't cared whether it would hurt.  
Then all that resentment had changed.  "Are you okay?" he'd  
asked. 

"Could you stop there?" 

"As long as you want.  Well, if you want me to stop too  long, 
I'll come out instead.  May I move enough to kiss you?" 

I'd looked up at him.  He doesn't ask permission to kiss,  had 
not done so even the first time.  He had taken my look for  
permission, kissing gently all over my face -- mostly the top 
part, he'd been a little too high on me to reach my mouth.  He 
had begun to slip deeper in me. 

"Oh Sharl," he said.  "Did that hurt?" 

"No.  I'm fine." 

"I didn't mean to go further.  Here."  He'd moved his body  
back a little.  From there he'd been able to bend enough to reach  
my mouth.  He'd pecked at my lips and licked them before  
searching for my tongue.  "Can I come in now?" he'd asked when  
that kiss was over.  At my nod, he had eased forward very slowly.  
Finally, our groins had been pressed together. 

"Does it still hurt?" 

Truth to tell, it barely had.  "Just move slowly."  I hadn't  
wanted that pain again. 

"I'll move in a minute.  Now I want you to get used to me.  
And I want to get used to you, too.  You're a lovely girl, with  
lovely face and breasts and body.  But your pussy is lovely  
around me too, the tightest hug that you could imagine.  Oh,  
Shar, I love you.  I love your face and body and breasts and  
pussy.  I love all of you, dear Charlene.  As slow as I can  
bear." 

Then he had pulled back very slowly until he was almost out  
and had pushed in more slowly yet, if anything.  I'd lost most of  
my excitement when the pain had hit, but the idea had still been  
exciting.  We had been doing it at last; I had been doing it and  
had crossed the line into being a woman.  The motion had become  
exciting as well, especially after he had sped up.  I had started  
to anticipate more excitement from his motion when it stopped.  
He'd shoved deep into me and grunted a few times.  Then he had  
sprawled on top. 

He had moved off in response to my shove -- off and a foot or  
so away.  I'd lain there with my eyes running.  To this day I  
don't know whether it was because of what I had done, or because  
he was lying so far away while I was naked and alone under the  
sky, or because of the barely-remembered pain.  I had known that  
I wasn't what I had been, and I was alone. 

He'd returned to me, however, kissing the tears away,  holding 
me tight, whispering.  Slowly, he'd petted me back to  desire.  
He'd talked all the time that he wasn't kissing me.  I'd  been 
afraid when his hand had returned to my sore valley, but  
needlessly.  He'd sucked my breasts and stroked my nub until I  
finally came.  Then he'd kissed and hugged me. 

"Now we are one," he'd said.  "Dave and Charlene.  together  
forever." 

He'd kept talking as we got dressed and drove back.  He'd  
told me that he loved me, that I was beautiful, that the  
afternoon had been the crowning point of his life. 

It really must have been an effort on his part.  I don't  
remember his ever talking about anything for so long, even  
himself.  At my house, he had suddenly changed the subject.  But 
he had parked the car in the driveway and walked me to the  door.  
His kiss had been short and gentle, maybe to fool my  parents and 
the neighbors, maybe because he had hurt me. 

He certainly wasn't talking in the car this night.  He  slowed 
on another culvert to throw away the Kleenex, and the  rubber.  
When he let me off, I rolled my hips a little more than  I needed 
to as I walked up to my door.  He smiled from behind the  wheel.  
The boys envy him as much as the girls envy me. 

I'll be going to Tempe.  He'll be going to Texas A&M.  We  
haven't talked much about the future since he announced that.  
That's okay; in the fall, we'll both be freshmen.  Nobody in  
college cares what you were in high school.  Nobody but you. 

I'll at least have the memory of this year.  I'm a 
cheerleader, one of the best known girls in the school; my looks 
and my bust raise envy in the girls and something else in the 
boys.  He's a running back, good enough to get a sports 
scholarship, good enough to disappoint the school when he didn't 
make all-state. We might not always talk when we're together, but 
we look good together. 

I deserve the recognition that I get this year; we both do.  
We deserve each other.
