How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Carol Hitchcock - 
Part 3 (FF, rom, exh, anal, college)
by Rogue Writer (roguewriter@hotmail.com)

***

QUICKIE DISCLAIMER - Look up. Don't like it, don't read 
it.

VERY IMPORTANT! READ THIS FIRST! - When we last left 
our heroine Carol, she was walking into the bathroom 
where Kim might have already committed suicide. I only 
mention it because someone told me the start of this 
part might confuse some readers. So don't be confused. 
(P.S. - notice the chapter title!)


CHAPTER 11: THE WAY WE WERE

I woke up that morning thanks to the sun blasting 
through the window. That was odd because usually I 
close the drapes before I go to bed. My eyes opened 
before my brain could communicate what a horrible idea 
that truly was. It felt like someone stuck hot pokers 
into my sockets and they burrowed into the back of my 
brain. My hand reached out, took a pen from my 
nightstand and threw it at nature's invading force. The 
pen might be mightier than the sword, but unfortunately 
it can't do shit against sunlight. When my hand landed 
back on the bed it touched skin. 

Not my skin. 

My eyes flew open and my head popped up to see a mess 
of blonde hair on the pillow next to mine. There was 
the quickest moment of uncertainty. Oh yeah, the club 
last night. The girl determined to get the DJ to play 
KMFDM. Katie. No, Kelly. Kerrie. Kim, that's it. It 
surprised me that I'd forgotten, but then I remembered 
how much I drank. More than I ever had before. I was 
never a big drinker, and always prevented myself from 
going overboard by bringing only twenty dollars with me 
whenever I went to a bar or a club. 

But this Kim kept buying us rounds. I had one of those 
hangovers where part of you is still a little drunk. 
Yet it didn't hurt so much looking at that mess of 
blonde hair, the emotions from last night coming back. 
That excitement you feel when meeting someone new, the 
electricity in the air when you realize you're not the 
only one feeling the attraction, the anticipation of 
that first kiss. 

That first kiss happened in the parking lot. The club 
was closing and I told Kim I'd walk her to her car. We 
exchanged numbers and arrived at that awkward moment 
when you either both say goodnight and walk off or you 
take a chance. As usual, the little war in my head 
between the two sides was fighting a battle. The 
rational side was telling me to walk away because it 
was too soon for a kiss, while the naughty side said to 
go for it for obvious reasons.

"Having a hard time there?" Kim asked.

"Um, what?"

"I can see it on your face," she said. "You can't 
decide what to do right now, can you?"

Oh shit, I thought. Was I that obvious? Have I always 
been that obvious? Has everyone always been able to see 
my indecision? Or does this girl have some kind of 
psychic ability? That would suck, dating a psychic. How 
could you plan any surprises? Or lie to her when she 
asks if you were checking out another girl? Hell, she 
wouldn't even have to ask, she'd already know. That 
would really suck. And why the hell was I rambling on 
in my head like this?

"Uh." I said. While that may sound like part of some 
brilliant strategy to stall for time to think, it was 
really because I was drunk, embarrassed, caught off 
guard and scared. Not an ideal combination. I managed 
to save myself somewhat by looking down at the ground 
and saying, "yeah, I think so."

Kim burst out in laughter. I stood there feeling self-
conscious. When she finished laughing, Kim looked up at 
me and said, "Tell you what, I'll decide for you." And 
with that she put her hand on my cheek, leaned in and 
kissed me. It was a light kiss, using just lips at 
first, but soon our tongues wanted to play and we let 
them have at it. I put my arms around her and held her 
tight, pinning her upper arms to her body. Kim managed 
to put her hands on my waist. She started sucking on my 
tongue, and I loosened my grip on her upper body. My 
hands slid down to her ass and squeezed her jean-
covered cheeks, making her moan in my mouth. We slowly 
broke the kiss, and for a moment just stood staring at 
each other.

"Ahem."

We were both so preoccupied we didn't notice we had an 
audience. A car had pulled up beside us and my roommate 
was sitting in the passenger seat. "Sorry to interrupt, 
but I've got to work in the morning. We need to get 
going."

I was going to say I'd be there in just a minute, but 
suddenly I heard, "I'll take her home." I turned and 
Kim was smiling. "If that's okay?"

Before the car took off my roommate smiled and said, 
"Good luck."

A little while later I was depending on that good luck. 
Kim was racing down the road with the top down and the 
music blasting. At first I was excited because I'd 
never been in a convertible before. But when Kim 
started making the engine perform like what it was made 
for, I suddenly realized how open and vulnerable a 
convertible made you. My body cowered down in the seat 
a little and I braced my left hand against the 
dashboard while my right held tight onto the door. Kim 
laughed at my reaction. I was positive she was well 
above the legal limit, both in alcohol and speed. All I 
kept thinking was seat belts or not, if she crashes we 
are so dead.

I knew we were at my place when Kim said "You can open 
your eyes now." I did and actually breathed a sigh of 
relief. "So how was your first ride in a convertible?" 
she asked.

With a cracked voice I said, "I'll never forget it." 

Kim laughed again. "You are so cute when you're freaked 
out."

We went up to my apartment and sat on the couch. I 
turned on a local radio station and kept it low even 
though my roommate's bedroom was on the other side of 
the apartment, and then I went to the kitchen to get us 
something to drink. When I came back Kim had taken off 
her shoes and was sitting with her back against the arm 
of the couch, so I took up the same position on the 
other side. She brought her knees to her chest and her 
feet were facing me. 

While we sat there and talked I took in her beautiful 
face, the cute button nose and those piercing blue 
eyes. But my attention kept getting drawn down to those 
beautiful feet. They were perfectly formed, with toes 
that were thin but still had a good shape to them. At 
first I thought her toenails didn't have any polish, 
but then I noticed they were coated with a clear gloss. 

I can usually manage to check out a girl's feet and not 
get caught, but my eyes couldn't resist the toe ring on 
her left index toe. It wasn't one of those thin toe 
rings that you have to give a second glance just to see 
if it's there, this was a thick one that screamed 'Look 
at me!' 

While I was never big into body jewelry, foot jewelry 
always gained a little extra stare from me, and that 
combined with feet as beautiful as Kim's had me working 
hard not to be obvious. But it became hopeless when she 
pulled up the legs of her jeans to get more comfortable 
and exposed the gold chain around her right ankle. I 
kept up the conversation, but a couple of minutes later 
Kim interrupted me, asking, "What are you looking at?"

"I was just noticing your jewelry there," I said, 
hoping to cover.

"Noticing? You were pretty much speaking to them 
instead of me."

"Sorry," I said, "they're just nicer than other one's 
I've seen." It was a lie, but I had to try something.

Kim's eyes narrowed as she looked at me. "You have a 
foot thing, don't you?"

That's it- she was psychic. The girl could read me like 
an open book. At that point I was convinced this was 
going nowhere. She had noticed every weakness and 
strange behavior I have. Figuring I may as well own up 
to this one too, I swallowed hard and said "Kinda."

"What do you like to do to them?" she asked.

That caught me off guard. "I, I've never really done 
too much before."

Kim looked at me for a second with this grin on her 
face. Then she lifted her left foot and extended it 
towards me. "Go ahead," she said. It felt strange and 
exciting all at once. Strange because I couldn't 
believe this girl who I just met was indulging me with 
one of my fantasies. Exciting because I never really 
had the guts to try anything with a girl's foot before 
and now I had permission. I cupped the bottom of her 
foot with my right hand so she didn't have to hold it 
up. With my left hand I started stroking up and down, 
my fingers along the arch and my thumb on the bottom. I 
used some pressure with the thumb so as not to tickle 
her. 

I was a little hesitant to use my mouth, but when I 
looked at the toe ring my embarrassment was overcome by 
desire, so I opened my mouth and leaned down. Capturing 
her big and index toes, I sucked lightly at first and 
slid my tongue left to right under them. I heard a soft 
moan from Kim, so I gradually increased the pressure. 
Looking at her feet when we were talking I thought I 
was as turned on as I could be, but this brought it to 
a whole other level. I could feel myself starting to 
get wet. The sensations of the toe ring against my 
mouth added something as well, reminding me that I was 
only admiring it minutes ago and now I had it in my 
mouth.

I looked at Kim to see if this was freaking her out, 
but she had a thrilled look in her eyes and a smile on 
her face. My mouth let go of her first two toes and I 
started sucking on the last three. This time I started 
moving my head up and down a little.

"Mmmmmmm," was Kim's vocal response. I let my lips roll 
over the toes as I pulled away. Holding up her foot a 
little higher I extended my tongue and licked the 
bottom, just at the base of the toes first, then in 
little sections going down towards the heel. The first 
time I tickled her she laughed and yanked her foot 
away. I was afraid that she was going to stop it there, 
but she just said, "You can't stop making me laugh 
tonight," and put her foot back in my hand. As I 
continued licking I realized what she said was true. I 
was worried because Kim was seeing all the things I was 
self-conscious about, but she had been laughing at 
them. And not a malicious laugh, but a sweet one that 
made me realize she saw those things as endearing.

When I got to the heel of her foot I looked up at Kim. 
She took her foot back and put it on the couch. I was 
about to say thanks when she picked up the other one 
and extended it towards me. "Can't let this one feel 
left out, can we?" I liked this girl.

I took her right foot in my hands and decided to do 
something different. I started by using my tongue to 
lick each toe individually, front, back and around the 
sides. Kim occasionally flexed and curled her toes as I 
did this. I looked up and saw that she was leaning 
back, her eyes closed and her mouth open, her hands 
playing with her breasts through her top. I took this 
to mean she was enjoying my treatment and gave myself a 
mental pat on the back.

"I have never seen someone get off on feet like you 
do," Kim said. That made me think about how turned on I 
was at the moment, how wet I was. I decided to be bold 
and do something about it. My right hand went to my 
skirt and pulled it back a little. Reaching underneath, 
I felt the wet spot against my panties and got an 
electric jolt when I pressed against them. I started 
rubbing the area and gave a little moan as I got off on 
the dual sensations of licking a girl's toes and 
playing with myself.

Suddenly I felt something on my hand. It was Kim's left 
foot. I looked up and saw she had opened her eyes and 
was propped up with her elbows behind the couch arm. 
"Why don't you let me do that," she said. I smiled and 
moved my hand away, letting her foot take over. 

"Mmmm," escaped my lips as I felt her toes press 
against my pussy. She used the ball of her foot a 
little too. I sucked on the side of her instep, going 
up and down with my mouth. Kim told me to stop for a 
moment and pulled her foot from between my legs. Using 
both arms she pulled her top over her head and tossed 
it on my coffee table. Her exposed breasts gave me 
another jolt of excitement, but I would have to wait to 
get at them. We went back to our little three-way 
pleasure pyramid. 

Kim was getting pleasure by playing with her breasts, I 
was getting wetter and wetter with her foot job, and I 
know we were both getting something from my sucking her 
foot. I took to licking her ankle, my tongue going over 
the skin and anklet at the same time. I'm not sure how 
long we continued on, just that I could feel my orgasm 
building, ironically enough, from my toes. I started 
sucking hers when I was about to go over the edge. Kim 
was using her big toe, curling it up and down against 
my lips. As I came I moaned with her toes in my mouth. 
When I was finished, Kim lay back on the couch and 
motioned me to join her. We held each other in this 
serene, quiet moment where I could feel my heart 
pumping in my chest.

"That was so weird and so wild at the same time," Kim 
said, echoing my earlier thoughts.

We cuddled for a while as Kim stroked my hair. Looking 
into those eyes of hers I felt like they were staring 
right into my soul. I leaned in and lightly kissed her 
on the lips, keeping my mouth right next to hers 
afterwards. We stayed in that position for a moment and 
I realized that all my fear was gone, drowned in this 
moment of bliss. And I knew it was because of Kim. 
Something about this girl quieted the war inside my 
head. I leaned in again and this time kissed her with 
more feeling, more passion. 

Our open mouths danced together as my tongue felt the 
warm softness of hers. We tightened our embrace, our 
mouths let go and we showered each other with little 
kisses. I tasted the slightly bitter tang of dried 
saliva on skin. It was like an aphrodisiac that made me 
even more abandoned as my tongue went in after hers 
again. My hand went down to find her bare breast and 
squeezed it, making her moan in appreciation. I pulled 
away from Kim and with fire in my voice I said, "Let's 
go to my bedroom."

When we got in there we started kissing again as I 
guided Kim towards the bed. We fell onto it as our kiss 
continued, she managed to undo the strings for my top 
and pulled it off without breaking our bond. Her 
fingers danced on my globes, driving my already escaped 
naughty side crazy. I pulled away and told her to stay 
there as I went into one of my drawers and came out 
with a scarf. I climbed on top of Kim and told her to 
trust me as I took her hands and tied them up. I 
brought her hands over her head and tied the other end 
to the bed frame.

For a brief second I felt trepidation, but all I had to 
do was look at Kim and it went away. My mouth started 
with her neck and made its way down to her breasts. I 
licked the valley between them, and then gave light 
kisses all over each of her tits. The last kiss I gave 
was on her right nipple, which I sucked between my lips 
as my other hand fondled her left breast. I had only 
done this a few times before, but I was getting high 
off of being able to touch and lick someone else's 
skin.

It was while I was doing this that I got my first 
exposure to Kim's sweet talk during sex. "Oooohhh fuck. 
Suck my goddammed tit. Suck it harder. Shit. Fuck." I 
sucked harder, and then gave a little nibble with my 
teeth before moving over to her left breast. I licked 
all around the areole before zeroing in on her nipple 
by flicking my tongue back and forth over it. Kim 
started pulling on the scarf as her mouth spewed more 
obscenities. I went down to her tummy and licked her 
shallow belly button while my hands clumsily worked on 
undoing the button of her jeans. When I finally got it 
open I slid down the zipper and pulled them off, 
revealing a pair of yellow panties. 

I leaned down and buried my nose in them, inhaling her 
sweet scent. Sticking out my tongue I flicked it 
against the material that was denying her the pleasure 
I had to offer. Kim gasped at the action, so I did it 
again and again, trying to see how long I could torture 
her before she freaked out. I used my nose between 
licks to rub around where her clit hood would be. Even 
though her eyes were closed I could see the frustration 
in her face, I had tied her hands well so she couldn't 
undo the knot herself. Finally she broke. "Fucking stop 
it!" she screamed.

"Okay," I said, and sat up from between her legs.

"No! Wait! I meant stop teasing me!"

"I did." I said it with a smile on my face.

Her eyes flew open and she looked at me with a 'Don't 
give me that shit' look. "You know what I mean!" For a 
second I thought I'd really pissed her off, but there 
was half a smile on her face after she said it. I slid 
my hands up along her legs until I got under the sides 
of her panties, grabbed them and slowly slid them down. 
Kim pulled up her feet to help get them off, but before 
she put her feet down again I gave a quick lick on the 
bottom of her right foot. Kim let out a quick laugh 
from the tickle. "Stop it!" she yelled, then slapped me 
in the face with her foot.

"Ow!" I rubbed the side of my face. It was a mild hit 
but it still hurt.

"Oh shit, I'm sorry." Kim started to rise and forgot 
her bonds. "I just-," She fell back onto the bed and 
got frustrated. "I didn't-," she tried to pull out of 
the scarf, but got frustrated and gave up. "Dammit! I 
want to hug you but I can't get up!"

I chuckled at her predicament. Kim brought up her legs 
and wrapped them around my waist in a pseudo-hug. 
"There," she said, "you feel better?" We both erupted 
in laughter that lasted for several minutes. When it 
died down she asked, "Seriously, you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. They breed us farm girls tough down in 
Kentucky."

"Well if that's the case, and it's not too much 
trouble, I'd like to have my pussy eaten sometime 
before the sun comes up."

"Ah'd be happy to oblige, young lady," I said. My hands 
took Kim's legs from around my waist and held them up 
so I could give small, light kisses down each one. 
Don't ask me why I didn't notice her pussy was shaved 
until I was right on top of it. I'd seen shaved pussies 
in the locker room back in high school, but this was 
the first time I was going to lick one. I started by 
continuing my light kiss treatment on her mound, which 
caused a deep sigh from Kim. 

My tongue came out and ran over her bare mons using 
long, slow licks, and then my hands spread her open. 
Before I did anything else I brought my nose right up 
to Kim's open flower and inhaled her scent. I did that, 
I thought to myself, I was the cause of a series of 
events in her body that resulted in what I was smelling 
right now. The thought of that simply amazed me. Of 
course, all that thinking meant I'd stopped acting.

"Hey," Kim said, "are you torturing me again?"

I smiled. "No, just being a nerd." Before Kim had a 
chance to respond to that I pressed my lips right up to 
her pussy and gave it a kiss. Kim moaned and I started 
licking. She squirmed and started her ode to my 
abilities. "Fuck! Uh! Eat me. Eat my fucking cunt. 
Shit! Fuck yeah! Fuck!" I couldn't believe the mouth on 
this girl. I knew truck drivers who didn't swear this 
much. Really.

I sucked on her inner lips and savored the taste I had 
a hand (and tongue) in causing. Then I slowly slid my 
tongue inside of her. I loved that warm feeling, the 
contractions of her walls on my flesh, the sensations 
of softness and moisture. I moved my tongue in and out 
a few times before removing it completely and replacing 
it with my index finger. Kim gave a long, slow moan as 
I carefully moved my finger inside of her. I started 
lapping and sucking at the hood of her clit as my 
finger moved steadily in and out. 

Kim wasn't saying anything anymore, just moaning, 
grunting and sighing. Her eyes were open and staring 
down at me. I would occasionally look up and make eye 
contact with her. Those looks we exchanged kept driving 
me on, giving me more and more sexual energy. I started 
going wild on Kim, eating her out with fury. In my few 
past experiences I was slow and methodical when going 
down on a girl because I was nervous and shy. But that 
night my inhibitions were gone. 

I had always wanted to lick a girl's feet and now I'd 
done it. I'd always wanted to tie a girl down and I did 
it without even pausing for thought. Suddenly I was 
eating out Kim with a passion that was making up for 
every thought I'd second-guessed, every desire I'd 
buried, every opportunity I'd passed up.

Part of that passion was bringing her to the brink of 
orgasm and then slowing her down. I'd bring her right 
to where I thought she was going to cum and then I'd 
stop moving my fingers and slow down my tongue or keep 
it up with my fingers and stop my tongue completely. As 
soon as I heard Kim's breathing slow down I'd start up 
again. This went on until I finally judged wrong and 
went too far. Kim let out a cry as I licked her clit 
and she went over the edge.

I sat up and looked at her. Kim was breathing heavy and 
there was some sweat on her brow. I realized I could 
smell some sweat on myself as well. I leaned over her 
and untied the scarf. As I did she lifted up and sucked 
on my right nipple. I cooed. When I had her loose she 
pulled me down on top of her and kissed me 
passionately. After the kiss she looked into my eyes. 
We didn't say another word as we both got under the 
covers and hugged each other. I'm not sure which one of 
us passed out first, meaning I probably did.

After the sun woke me up the next morning (it seemed to 
have no effect on Kim) I got up and closed the drapes, 
then got back into bed and passed out again. The next 
thing I remember feeling was incredible pleasure. 
Actually I can't say I would have used those words 
then, because I was still asleep, but now I know how to 
describe it. I just felt a warm, comfortable sensation 
all over my body. I woke up slowly, my eyes fluttering 
to rid them of sleep. There was a big lump under the 
covers and the only thing on the pillow next to me was 
a pair of legs bent at the knees, the feet I fell in 
love with last night hovering in the air. 

"What are you doing?" I sighed it more than said it.

The lump under the covers moved and said, "Waking you 
up with sex. Isn't it the shit?" While Kim spoke I felt 
her fingers playing where her tongue had just been.

"Yeah," I breathed.

Kim's tongue went back to work. It felt wonderful, 
still half asleep and receiving this kind of attention. 
If I didn't have such a hangover in my head it would 
have been perfect, but it was still the best wake up 
call I'd ever received. Kim stopped again and said, 
"Sorry, I'm having a little trouble breathing here." 

I grabbed the covers and tossed them off the end of the 
bed, giving me a wonderful view of Kim's naked body. 
She took in a deep breath and said "Thanks." She licked 
my clit as her fingers played with my lips. I put my 
hand on her ass and started stroking the cheeks. I felt 
Kim's finger sliding down my slit, but she didn't stick 
it inside. Instead she kept going down and I when she 
went past my vagina I wondered what she was doing. She 
started poking it around and I gasped when she found my 
rosebud. Her finger started pressing on it and I 
realized what she meant to do. My rational side spoke 
up. "Um, what are you doing?"

"You've never played with that?"

"No," I said.

"Well," she said, "if you're not comfortable with it I 
can stop."

I got stuck again. The thought of it intrigued me, but 
something about it seemed wrong as well. Kim wasn't 
looking at my face, but I'm sure the prolonged silence 
was a giveaway.

"Can't decide again?" she asked with a slight 
impatience in her voice.

"I want to but I don't."

"Tell you what, why not try it and if you decide you 
don't like it then you know not to do it again."

Now why didn't I think of that? "Uh, yeah, that sounds 
cool."

"And while you're at it," Kim moved her body so it was 
over mine in a sixty-nine position. "Give yourself 
something to do. Maybe that'll keep your mind off of 
itself."

I smiled. One thing I did have experience with, thanks 
to my roommate, was a sixty-nine. I loved the idea of 
giving and receiving at the same time. My arms went 
under her legs and over her back so my hands were on 
her ass. I stuck out my tongue and started licking. The 
thing I like to do most in a sixty-nine is mimic my 
partner's actions, so when Kim licked top to bottom, 
sucked on my lips or targeted my clit, I did the same 
to her. Her finger pressed on my asshole, which is the 
one thing I didn't want to do to her yet. She would 
push a little, stop, push some more, stop again, slowly 
stretching the area until she had half her finger in 
there.

Soon we were both sucking on each other's clits. I 
thought it would be cool if we were to cum at the same 
time, but Kim's finger worked more into my asshole and 
suddenly I felt a wave of pleasure erupt from that 
area. All of a sudden I couldn't help myself and I was 
cumming. My mouth came away from her pussy with a yell 
and my legs stretched out into the air. After that I 
remember making some kind of satisfied sound and Kim 
asked, "Can I take that as a sign you liked it?"

I was still trying to catch my breath. "I'd say so."

My hands kept playing with Kim's pussy, keeping her 
aroused while I recovered. Finally I put my tongue back 
in action and targeted her clit. Kim's body started 
moving wildly as she grunted every breath. "Uh, yeah! 
Oh God! Uh! Goddammit! Whore! Fuck!" Somehow I imagined 
everyone in Kim's hometown could tell me the date and 
time of Kim's first sexual experience. 

She came and dropped on top of my body. We lay like 
that for a while, with our head at each other's feet, 
until Kim worked up the energy to turn around and pull 
the covers back up. We got cozy and laid there for a 
while in each other's arms. All of a sudden I said, 
"Thanks."

"For what?" she asked. 

Honestly I wasn't quite sure myself. I thought about it 
for a moment while she stroked my hair. "I don't know. 
I just feel so comfortable around you. Like I don't 
have to be on guard all the time."

Kim smiled and her eyes narrowed. "Why do you have to 
be on guard all the time?"

I shrugged. It wasn't really something I wanted to get 
into at that point, and she took the hint and let it 
go. We kissed and cuddled for about half an hour more, 
until Kim mentioned that she was hungry. My stomach was 
growling too, so we got up and went to my kitchen.

"Crap," I said when I opened the fridge. "We don't have 
much here."

"The hell you don't, you've got whipped cream and 
chocolate syrup. Do you have ice cream?"

"Yeah."

"Great. Sundaes for breakfast."

While we made our special meal Kim asked how my face 
was doing. I had forgotten about the incident with her 
foot. I hammed it up and told her I'd know after I saw 
a doctor. Then I really gave it to her when I said a 
proper hug would have really helped.

"Well I couldn't get out of the scarf thanks to that 
crazy Girl Scout knot you tied," she said as she 
started laughing. "What did you learn that one for?"

"Dominatrix Badge," I said, and we both cracked up. It 
was the kind of good feeling you get when you find 
someone you really click with.

We took our sweet treats to the living room. Kim's top 
was still on the coffee table and there was a note on 
top of it, obviously from my roommate, saying "I know 
I've seen this top on someone in the past 24 hours, but 
I can't quite remember who it was. I'm sure you'll be 
able to remind me later." My roommate was from 
California, and sometimes her sense of humor escaped 
me. She was also a gossip hound and the note made it 
clear she wanted details. Kim had brought the whipped 
cream can out to the living room and every few bites 
she refreshed the supply in her dish.

"You can never have enough whipped cream," she said, 
anticipating my wisecrack.

"I don't remember that one in nutrition class."

"They teach you nutrition in Kentucky?" she said with a 
smile.

"Yeah, and they also taught us manners, like never call 
a lady a whore."

A surprised look crossed her face. "Are you implying I 
did that?" I nodded and she asked, "When?"

"In bed."

"Oh. I didn't necessarily call you a whore." Kim 
noticed all my whipped cream was gone and shot some 
into my bowl.

"Well I didn't see anyone else in the room, so unless 
you were directing that comment at yourself, I think 
you called me a whore."

"Well I'm sorry."

I nodded and said, "Okay." We sat there for a moment in 
silence, eating ice cream. Then, without looking at 
her, I quietly said, "Bitch."

"Slut."

"Douche bag."

"Cunt."

My eyebrows raised on that one. "Getting a little rough 
there, aren't we?"

"What, poor little country girl can't take a harsh 
word?"

"I just think it's a little offensive."

"No, it's very offensive, which is why I used it."

I shrugged my shoulders, said "Fine," and we went back 
to eating ice cream. Suddenly she said, "Shit head."

"Wench."

"Doofus."

"Tampon breath." With that one we both burst out in 
laughter. 


CHAPTER 12: FUCK HAPPY ENDINGS

That laughter was still ringing in my head when I 
walked through the doorway of the bathroom in Rio.

Kim was sitting naked in the tub. There was no water in 
it. She was alive.

Her forehead was leaning against her knees and she was 
sobbing quietly, unaware that I was standing there 
watching her. I could feel the smile grow across my 
face as a happiness spread throughout my body. It was 
different from the joy I had with writing. More like 
extreme relief. I reached over and turned off the CD 
player. Kim looked up. Her eyes were red and puffy and 
her face was a mix of surprise, anger and disgust. 

"Hey whore," I said.

"Fuck off you fucking bitch!" she screamed. 

There was so much hurt in her face. I'd never seen Kim 
that vulnerable before. It was like seeing some 
celebrity without makeup for the first time. There are 
plenty of words you could use to describe Kim, but one 
thing she has never been is weak. Yet here she was, 
looking like you could knock her over with a feather. 
And that was my fault. I felt like crying. Actually I 
think I needed to cry, but I knew one of us had to hold 
it together for this conversation. Finding her alive 
was only half the battle, now I had to win her back.

"I'm not going anywhere," I said. Taking a deep breath, 
I continued, "I was wrong, about a lot of things. I 
will say in my defense that I wasn't working off all 
the information. But I still made a lot of mistakes on 
my own. I took this long, stupid, complicated road when 
I should have just talked to you. Been more open with 
you." I choked on that last part, and almost lost it 
completely. But I held it back, took another deep 
breath and gritted my teeth. "I'm just hoping that you 
can forgive me for my mistakes and give me another 
chance. Even though I probably don't deserve it."

"You don't deserve it! Now fuck off!"

I bit my lip. Most people might have taken that as the 
final word and walked away. But I reminded myself that 
this was Kim I was dealing with, and the fact that she 
yelled something as opposed to taking the soap dish and 
throwing it at me was a good sign. I tried to muster up 
enough courage to say what I needed to. 

"You remember the morning after we first met, and you 
asked why I felt like I had to be on guard all the 
time? I used to think it was because I was afraid of 
letting go, of my naughty side taking control and doing 
all these things I was afraid to do. But now I 
understand what I was really on guard about. I was 
afraid of how people who knew me were going to react 
when they saw that side of me. I feel like everybody 
sees Carol Hitchcock as this nerdy bookworm who is the 
essence of normal. And I was so worried that if I let 
loose I'd lose everything and never be able to get 
myself back." 

I took a deep breath and continued, "But with you it 
was different. That first night you saw so many things 
about me that no one had ever seen before and you 
didn't judge me. Hell, you encouraged me."

Kim looked at me. There was still anger in her face. 
"Go away!" she yelled, and then she put her head back 
down on her knees. This wasn't working. My chest 
started to feel tight. I couldn't have gone through all 
this just to still lose her. My mind raced, trying to 
think of something else to say, something to convince 
her I truly understood that I'd made a mistake. I kept 
drawing a blank. My breathing came in short, heavy 
gasps. The longer it took me to think of something the 
more tension I felt in the room, and it was almost as 
if the physical distance between us was growing.

But then I stopped myself. I closed my eyes and forced 
my mind to remain calm. I slowed down my breathing and 
pushed my thoughts back to how I felt earlier when I 
wrote. I kept myself in that state until something came 
to me, something the tattoo guy had said to me earlier 
that day. I opened my eyes and spoke.

"Kim, when we started dating I felt so comfortable with 
you, and that made me feel comfortable with myself. But 
I didn't really understand why that was. Normally I'd 
have put more thought into it, analyzed it." That got a 
snort from Kim. She always complained that I 
complicated things with thought. "But I didn't, because 
for once in my life I was just going with the flow. And 
it felt good. So good that I didn't pay attention to 
anything else, and that's when I got into trouble. All 
of a sudden I lost that feeling you gave me. I blamed 
you for it." 

I took a deep breath, walked over to the tub and 
kneeled down beside it. She didn't resist as I reached 
out, cupping her chin and turning her face towards me. 
Her eyes wouldn't look directly at me. "But I got that 
feeling back, and I did it on my own this time. And 
doing that made me realize how important you are to me. 
Not just for who you are, but how you bring out 
something in me that I didn't realize I was missing in 
my life... happiness."

There was a long silence. Finally Kim looked up and her 
eyes met mine. "I thought I was the worst thing that 
ever happened to you."

"That was until I met the worst thing that ever 
happened to you," I said.

Kim was about to say something when the look on her 
face changed. "What the hell happened to your head?"

I reached up and touched it and flinched from the pain. 
A bruise must have been forming. "The cavalry came to 
its senses and realized it needed to come rescue you."

"From who?"

"From yourself."

Kim showed some teeth, but I wasn't sure it was a smile 
until I heard her chuckle a little bit. "I hate to tell 
you it was for nothing," she said, then sniffed and 
wiped her nose with her hand. "All my talk about being 
over the top and I couldn't even work up the guts to 
turn on the water."


An hour later we were sitting in the kitchen, and I had 
a bag of ice on my forehead. Kim looked a lot better 
now, more in control - her old self. The smile on her 
face was the same sweet smile that made me feel so 
comfortable when I first met her. "I just want to say," 
she started, "that little speech you gave in the 
bathroom was the sappiest piece of shit I've ever 
heard. It's like you were channeling Meg Ryan or 
something."

We laughed an infectious laugh that went on for a 
while. As it died down my mind tripped over a thought 
I'd had earlier, when Mrs. Ross first mentioned the 
divorce. I hated to bring the conversation to serious 
matters, but I had to know. "Your parents were never 
coming on this trip, were they?"

Kim smile faded slowly. Her eyes looked at the floor. 
"They gave me this trip to, quote, soothe my nerves 
about the divorce, unquote. My little consolation 
prize."

"And so you lied to me about this trip? Why didn't you 
ever tell me about how fucked up they are?"

Kim sighed. "You had enough problems, I didn't want to 
lay all of mine on you. I figured you'd think I was too 
much trouble and leave me."

"But Jesus Kim, you've got the mom from hell! And I'm 
guessing you're dad's not so great either. You could 
have at least told me that, I would have been a lot 
more understanding before now."

"I didn't want to expose you to them. My parents have 
managed to fuck up every inch of my life, and you're 
the best thing that's ever happened to me. I figured 
the further away I kept you from them the better."

She was probably right, considering the offer I'd just 
gotten from her mom. But I wasn't thinking about that 
right then, since I felt the tears welling up in my 
eyes as I stared at her. "What?" she asked.

"I'm the best thing that's ever happened to you?"

She shook her head. "You are such a fucking sap, you 
know that?"

I took her hand in mine. "I'm so sorry," I said, and 
then took a deep breath because I had plenty to 
apologize for. "The way I've been treating you, 
starting that argument, sleeping with someone who 
robbed you." I swallowed. "For what you read in my 
notebook."

Kim snickered, "Anything else?"

I grinned. "I'm not sorry about getting a tattoo 
without you, because I don't even remember doing that."

She laughed, and for the first time in a long time I 
felt the tension between us easing up. When she 
finished, Kim turned serious and said, "You know what I 
kept thinking when I was reading your notebook?" I 
shook my head and Kim continued, "That it's your own 
damn fault Carol. You complained to me about not having 
enough time for school stuff, but I figured that was 
the scared side of you making up excuses. If you sat me 
down and had a serious talk I would have listened, and 
I would have taken you seriously."

I sighed. She was right. I'd assumed how she would 
react and it bit me in the ass, big time.

"You need to learn to speak up more," Kim said, 
"especially with me. Be more open and shit. Tell me 
what's on your mind, what problems you're having."

I arched my eyebrow. "So do you," I said. That reminded 
me of something. "Speaking of which, your mom said 
something about you having influence over where the 
money goes in the divorce. What was that about?"

Kim frowned and sat there for a moment. I felt tension 
from her again and realized I probably shouldn't have 
brought it up. Her eyes were looking at the floor when 
she said "I was like, sixteen when my mom came home 
drunk one night. She and my dad had been at some party 
and she was pissed off because of some woman that was 
there. She thought my dad was cheating on her. Anyway, 
she comes to my room and starts talking up a storm. I 
didn't know if she was trying to bond with me or what, 
but she..." Kim stuck her tongue in her cheek and let 
out a soft sigh. I realized this wasn't easy for her, 
so I squeezed her hand to let her know I was there for 
her.

Kim continued, "She told me this had happened before, 
when she and dad were in college and they were just 
dating, she found out he was cheating on her. She 
wanted to get back at him, but she wanted to keep him 
too, so she.she." Kim swallowed hard and looked right 
at me. "She stopped taking the Pill."

It took a moment for me to process what that meant. 
Then it took a moment for my jaw to work its way back 
up to the rest of my mouth. "Holy shit," was all I 
could say.

There were tears in Kim's eyes, but she shrugged and 
smiled. "Yeah," she said. "I went from being 'The Great 
Mistake' to 'The Vicious Revenge'."

"So your father doesn't know?"

She shook her head. "Mom's afraid I'll tell him and his 
lawyers will tear her a new one in court." 

No wonder Mrs. Ross was willing to take a chance on 
trying to bribe me. I sighed. "Well, that confirms it," 
I said. "I'm the worst judge of character in the 
world."

Kim smiled. "Don't worry about it. She puts up an 
awesome front." 

We sat there for a moment in silence. Then I leaned 
over and kissed Kim on the lips, pulled back and looked 
into her eyes. "I love you," I said, "and I really mean 
it this time. I know that doesn't exactly sound like a 
happy ending line, but it's what I really feel."

She reached out and stroked my cheek. "Fuck happy 
endings. This is good enough for me." 

"That mean you can forgive me for being so stupid?" I 
asked.

"I think stupidity runs in our relationship," she said. 
We went upstairs and fell asleep on the bed. 


CHAPTER 13: FROM HERE ON

When I woke up the sun was just setting. Kim was still 
sleeping, and while I watched her a memory flooded back 
into my head, causing a smile to grow on my face. We 
had fallen asleep with me spooning behind her, so I 
slipped out and laid Kim on her back. I spread her 
legs, lay down between them and used my fingers to 
spread her flower. With long, slow licks I worked on 
her pussy, going from bottom to top. She made some 
noises and moved a little, then she gasped and her eyes 
fluttered open.

"Hey there," she said.

I kissed her clit hood and said, "Sorry, I got hungry."

She smiled. "Don't apologize, I'm always on the menu."

"Remember when you taught me this?"

Kim's brow furrowed for a moment, but then it relaxed 
and she smiled. "Oh yeah," she said. Her whole face 
took on this happy glow.

"Now that I've got you all worked up, I'm going to 
torture you by starting at the beginning."

"Rotten bitch," she said.

I moved down to the end of the bed and started with 
Kim's toes, running my tongue in-between them, sucking 
each one into my mouth. I licked the bottom of her 
foot, using my tongue to tease her ticklish spots. Then 
I softly kissed the top of her arch, making my way 
slowly to her ankle. Once there I sucked on both sides 
of her anklebone, then used my tongue to trace around 
each one. Kim moaned, so I kept it up for a while until 
I started to move up her legs, running my tongue up the 
inside of each where she is most sensitive. 

I skipped over her pelvic area and licked a line from 
her lower stomach, over her bellybutton, between her 
breasts and up her chin until I dipped my tongue into 
her mouth. I kept the kiss short and traced the edge of 
her jaw with my tongue.

Her breasts were calling to me, so I licked her left 
areole first, using my tongue to lather the area with 
my saliva. Then I sucked it all up, along with her 
nipple as well. Kim rewarded my efforts with a soft 
moan. I felt her hands reach for my breasts, squeezing 
the globes at first, and then pinching the nipples. I 
kept up my sucking, occasionally flicking the tip of 
her nipple with my tongue. I gave the same treatment to 
the other nipple and finally proceeded to move between 
my lover's legs. 

My left hand spread open her folds and I slowly licked 
over the whole area, which made Kim spread her legs so 
wide that my left hand was suddenly free of it's duty. 
I brought my mouth down onto her pussy and let my 
tongue play around as my hands reached up for her 
breasts. My tongue licked her treasure as my hands 
softly squeezed her globes, but when I found her hole I 
stuck my tongue in and pinched her nipples 
simultaneously. This time my reward was a sharp cry of 
ecstasy. I tongue fucked her for a while, then moved up 
to her clit and sucked on it while my hands pinched her 
nipples.

I continued my dual assault as I felt Kim's body begin 
to shudder, her body jerking until she let out a high 
pitched moan and I felt her come. Then I crawled up to 
her face and kissed her. We shared her taste for a 
minute before Kim broke the kiss.

"Still hungry?" Kim asked.

"Actually, I am. Turn over." Kim gave a questioning 
look, but I just smiled and she complied. I decided to 
teach her the little something new I'd learned from 
Maria, just like she'd taught me something new the 
first time she woke me up with sex. I licked her ass 
cheeks all over and then gave a slow lick up her crack 
without spreading her cheeks. That caused Kim to let 
out a sharp breath. I used my hands to spread her 
cheeks and gave another lick, this time right in her 
valley. She moaned that time, so I did it again and got 
the same response. 

I looked at her rosebud for a moment before I did 
anything more. I wasn't sure I'd like giving as well as 
receiving, but I wanted to try. I stuck out my tongue 
and started licking it. A slightly sour taste, but it 
wasn't anything horrible. And for the reaction I got 
from Kim it was well worth it. She said, "Oh my God, 
Carol, oh my God." For all the times she caught me off 
guard it was great to finally surprise her for once.

Kim cooed as I kept licking. I was getting off on it 
myself, mostly for the fact that most people frown on 
what I was doing. My naughty side whispered something 
in my ear and I went with it. I stiffened my tongue and 
started to poke at Kim's rosebud. She began to give out 
sharp little cries each time I made contact with her 
puckered hole. Suddenly I felt it give a little and the 
tip of my tongue slipped inside, and that's when Kim 
yelled. The truck driver in her came out again and she 
spewed obscenities between gasps. I tried pushing in a 
little more but it wouldn't go, so I came back out and 
resumed licking.

"This is so fucking good," she said. I tried sticking 
my tongue in there again, but I didn't get any farther 
than the first time. Still, Kim went wild again and I 
knew it was something we'd be working on over time. 
Finally I gave her rosebud a little kiss like Maria did 
with mine and I crawled up onto Kim's back.

"Like that?" I asked.

"Not as much as having a girlfriend who would think to 
try it," she said. "You're a bad, bad girl." 

I laughed as I slid off to her side. Our arms pulled 
each other into a tight hug. I kissed Kim's shoulder 
and held her tighter, feeling a spreading sense of 
warmth and security in her embrace. I suddenly realized 
I now knew what being in love felt like. No longer 
would I ever say the word without understanding the 
feelings that are behind it. I smiled at the thought of 
my new knowledge. 

We lay in each other's arms for a while, relaxing, 
telling jokes and calling each other names. Soon we 
were kissing and then she told me to lie on my back as 
she began kissing the side of my neck. I held her head 
there as long as possible because she knows this drives 
me wild and I know she never spends enough time doing 
it. Finally I let her move on, she used her tongue 
along my shoulders and chest until she got to my 
breasts. 

Kim always started the place I like the most, the 
sensitive skin under my breasts. Her tongue traced 
along the undersides slowly until I begged her to touch 
my aching nipples. She pinched them with her fingers at 
first, teasing them until she let her tongue lick the 
globes from the outer edge inward. Finally Kim's lips 
encircled my right nipple and she sucked it hard, 
making me moan like crazy.

After treating the other breast in the same slow, 
deliberate manner, Kim moved down to my belly button 
and gave it a rim job, teasing me with thoughts of what 
was to come. Next, she moved down and picked up my 
right foot and opened her mouth wide so she could put 
all of my toes in her mouth at once. She sucked on them 
and then licked them with her tongue. Kim repeated the 
process on my left foot, then put my feet together and 
pushed my legs up and over until I was bent in half 
(gymnastics was my thing in high school). I held my 
legs in front of my face while Kim buried her face in 
my pussy.

"Ohhhhhh, uhhhhhh, you uhhhhhhh, cuntlicker, uhhhh." 
She laughed at my use of foul language.

Just when I was getting good and riled up Kim took a 
break to lick the globes of my ass. When she started 
sucking a finger I made a little bet with myself which 
hole it was going into. Kim's hand went down and I felt 
pressure on my asshole, winning me a long, hot bubble 
bath with my favorite vibrator. The finger slowly 
worked its way in as I felt my sphincter open up.

"Ohhhhhh yeah," I moaned. Kim started pumping in and 
out as her mouth went to work again and found my clit. 
She sucked on it hard and I was saying her name as I 
came. I let my legs go and turned on my side as Kim 
spooned her body behind mine. I was still breathing 
heavy when she hugged me and kissed my neck. I closed 
my eyes.

The next day Kim and I went to the beach. Walking 
along, hand in hand, I asked her a question that had 
been gnawing at me. "Did you have any idea I was 
planning on breaking up with you?"

"No. Why would I?"

"I was just thinking about when we met. That first 
night I thought you were psychic, it seemed like you 
could read me so well."

Kim gave a chuckle. "Yeah but that's just when you're 
having that struggle between being good or bad. It's 
all over your face. I can't tell when you're having a 
real problem with something. That you need to tell me 
yourself."

"Great, now I'm taking advice from a girl whose family 
belongs on Jerry Springer." That made her laugh, and I 
laughed with her.

When we got back to school Kim and I found an apartment 
together. It marked the start of some big changes for 
the both of us. Kim has promised not to push hard about 
going out, and so far she's been good. I've also 
promised to pull my head out from the books once in a 
while and go with her. The one thing that has surprised 
me the most is that she's not going out all the time 
anymore. Ever since we moved in together she's been 
staying home with me more often and every once in a 
while she even cracks open a book. I think I'm having a 
good effect on her.

In the spirit of our new openness with each other, Kim 
and I discussed what to do about the problem with her 
mom. We came to the conclusion that she wouldn't tell 
her dad the truth, but that made for some leverage 
against her mom to keep out of Kim's life. While the 
divorce would be finalized at some point, she said her 
dad would probably sue her mom if he ever found out, so 
that gave Kim leverage for life. 

Up on the wall of our bedroom is the picture from Rio, 
the one of Kim and I in the outdoor bar- two topless, 
drunken fools grinning like idiots and holding up our 
drinks in a toast. We didn't just put it up to appease 
my exhibitionism, but to help us remember to always 
communicate with each other. The picture reminds us 
because of its great irony- there we are looking like 
we're having the best time of our lives, when both of 
us were really dying inside. Now that we know true 
happiness we know what it took to get here. Like Kim 
said, fuck happy endings, I'm learning real life takes 
a lot of work all the time.

So what did I learn this summer? Topless beaches are 
great. Be open and communicate with those you love. 
Don't pick up strange women in bars without expecting 
to be drugged and robbed. Never run up the stairs, even 
when you're on a rescue mission. Group sex can be a 
great learning experience. The right clothes get you 
attention but its hell on the buttons when someone's 
tearing them off of you. Oh, and no one is as nice as 
they sound on the phone.

The End.
