When I was a firefighter
Chapter 4 part 7 of 11
I sent back, ‘?for you… You said 3 to 4 days away, right’
was her response.
I replied, ‘until you get your…’ friend’’.
Understanding she texted, ‘Oh, yes.
‘Because 3 days ago...!’
Instead of a text, my phone rang. Seeing it was her, I answered saying, “Hey…”
Cherry’s voice had a smile to it as she said, “You are so crazy! Did you forget? Three days ago was my first time!”
Not understanding what her point was, I said, “What does that mean?”
She explained her logic, “You can’t get pregnant when it’s your first time!”
My heart sunk to have to tell her, “Cherry—babe—you absolutely CAN get pregnant your first time. It happens all the time.”
Still, neither convinced nor worried, she asked, “Are you sure?”
I said, “Yeah; I’m sure.”
Cherry thought for a moment before saying matter of fact, “Well, if I am pregnant, I am pregnant. And hopefully, Mom will wait until after I have the baby before she kills me! Seriously, though: do not worry about it for now. We will know in a few days, and we will go from there. OK”
I just said, “Ok,” not sure if she was simply putting on a brave face or if she was truly not worried. Either way, I admired her for her reaction.
Changing the subject, she asked, “Are you still coming to the game tonight?”
Almost laughing I said, “YEAH! Of course! I would not miss it.”
“The game starts at 7:00, but you can show up earlier if you want. It is $5 to get in.”
I joked, “I think I can come up with that much cash on short notice. I will sell some of my stuff if I have to…”
“Funny guy… Oh, here comes my mom; I got to go.”
We quickly said our ‘goodbyes’ and told each other ‘I Love you’ before ending the call. Once off the phone, I was already anxious to see her again. Even though I knew it was too soon, I got ready for the game and left.
I parked in the middle of the school parking lot. There were plenty of open spaces a lot closer to the gate ( I was one of the few cars in the lot), but
I didn’t want my car to start catching the attention of Cherry’s Mom—I figured that by the time she came to get Cherry, the lot would be full and my car would ‘blend in’. And just in case her mom dropped her off, I stayed in the car so that I would not be standing out by the ticket stands when she drove by. Trying to make time pass quickly while sitting alone in a parked car is difficult, but it helps if you have a smartphone with a few stupid games on it.
Sometime later, the parking lot was about 20% full and I received a text from Cherry.
‘I am at school. When can you get here?’
I texted back, ‘I will be there in…two hours ago!’
‘???? R U here?!’
I sent her a smiley face with a big grin, indicating ‘yes.’
She replied, ‘OMG! Where are you!’
‘Right in the middle of the parking lot.’
‘I see you!’
Out of nowhere, I saw Cherry running the way only a girl can run when she is excited—more of a trotting, skipping run with her hands hooked together—towards me. I could not contain my grin while I watched as her ponytail bounced and flew in the air rushing past and how her short uniform skirt mimicked her hair. She did not even slow down as she got close to my car. Electing to use it to stop her momentum, my rock rocked to the side with a thud as Cherry attempted to tackle my car. I was still reaching for the door handle when Cherry beat me to it and opened my door. She helped pull me out of the car and planted a firm kiss on me for a few seconds before she broke it to look around. She explained that “PDA” (Public Displays of Affection) was not allowed while in her uniform and she was making sure no one saw her.
We walked back in the direction she came from and sat on a bench to talk.
She said, “Last night and this morning was amazing. And I am glad you fell asleep with me; that was so romantic.”
“YOU are amazing. And I was sure we were going to be busted when your mom woke you up and wanted you to open the door. That is a nice cover story”
I said.
Cherry agreed and said, “UGH! That was SO embarrassing! I was not even masturbating!”
I said, “No, but it was the perfect, acceptable explanation and she bought it. Besides, it was better than telling the truth!”
“Yeah, well, you didn’t hear the conversation after I left you in my room!”
“I heard the first part of it… You two were still talking about it on the way to the car,” I laughed.
She asked, “You think that is funny? That conversation was still going as we sat here in the parking lot! She is STILL bringing it up!”
I said, “Oh my god, I am sorry. But you must admit it is funny.”
