Endless Summer Part 2

The next morning Desmond woke up with a slight headache, and 15 minutes after 8. Perhaps this is why Lumi had told him not to drink too much, he guessed it was a hangover. Shrugging, he got changed into his running gear and went out for a jog, by the time he had returned he felt much better. After a cold shower, he felt no more ill effects of the previous nights drinking. As he ate breakfast, Mary came down and gave him a hug, asking him how his night was, and was glad that they got home safely. Desmond decided not to share the Steve story, it was not his place.

The rest of the day passed without much event. Lumi stayed in her room most of the day, Desmond assumed she was hung over much worse then he was, and probably dealing with the fact that Steve and her…well they probably weren’t together any more. He felt kind of bad about that, he had reacted more then anything. Then he remembered the kiss he’d gotten form Lumi, and his thoughts got even more jumbled. Was it just a friendly thing like she said, or…was it as Desmond hoped, something more. He knew he shouldn’t, it was taboo to the extreme, but he could not help it. She was beautiful, there was nothing else to it.

After dinner Desmond was sitting out around the fireless-firepit staring up at the sky as the sun set. Looking over towards the skyscrapers, he thought of his life, and how this summer would pan out. Would he regret staying here? He doubted it. He heard someone walking up behind him and turned as Lumi put her hand on his shoulder. “Hey, how’s it going? Fully recovered?”, she said with a smile as she sat down.

“Yeah, I doubt I was in as bad a shape as you were last night. Have you?”, Desmond said with a soft smile.

“Oh, yeah. Sorry, I guess I kind of hid away all day. I was just dealing with…well Steve. Thanks for not saying anything to my parents. Well, I guess our parents, but you know what I mean. I’ll let them know tomorrow, I just don’t want them to think it happened at the party, I doubt I’d ever be allowed out again if I said anything.”, she said laughing. She turned suddenly serious and said in a softer voice, “I really meant thank you last night, if you weren’t there…well,” she grabbed his and and squeezed before letting go again, “I’d rather not think about what might have happened.” Desmond smiled awkwardly and looked away to stop from blushing under her intense green eyes.

“Hey, it’s nothing. I’m your brother, I’m supposed to look out for you, right?” He really didn’t know what else to say, and he just kept wishing she’d grab his hand again. “So, aside from that blemish, was your night enjoyable?”, trying to change the topic.

“Oh yeah, it was! I danced a bunch and had some great white girl wasted chats with some friends that I really needed. I couldn’t find Lauryn for some of the night, do you know where she went?”, she looked at Desmond meaningfully. He had not mean for the conversation to go in this direction so he decided to just go with what seemed like a safe bet.

“Yeah, I saw for a bit, but I’m not sure maybe she left. She’s pretty nice, and I suppose quite pretty too.” Desmond said, trying not to sound too awkward and forced. He was pretty sure he failed, horribly.

“Oh, so did she ever end up making a move on you?”, Lumi asked glancing over at him, and she smiled. “I know that look. So,so,so! Tell me what happened!” Desmond explained in as little detail as possible. “Oh c’mon!”, she said exasperated, “I want to hear more detail! I’ve never heard a story like this from a guys perspective before! I never have really given either so…well…yeah I wanna hear!” Even she blushed a bit during this exchange.

“Oh okay, well, I guess so. If you really want to know, I don’t know how well I’ll explain it.” He then continued on to explain what had happened between Lauryn and him. He didn’t know the rules on who to tell, and who not to, but to have Lumi hang off his every word, especially about something sexual, was well worth the risk to him. By the time he was finished, he was undeniably aroused.

“Damn,” Lumi said, a bit flushed, “that’s the hottest story anyone has ever told me. I…damn. I’m a bit jealous now, you got to have an intimate experience, and I had a dick boyfriend try to force himself on me.” She said with a laugh. Desmond took a chance, and reached out and touched her hand slightly.

“Well I’m glad I was around to help you out when you needed it. I think it’s only fair, you gave me a how-to-not-get-blasted, I was only repaying the favor!” He said smiling. She looked him in the eye and in light tone responded as she grabbed his hand again.

“Oh, I think that for helping me you deserve much more of a reward then that. I’ll just have to figure something out.” She said with a mischievous grin. She was still holding his hand when she got up and as she got behind his chair, she wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed his cheek again. “I’m just not sure what you’re up for.” With that she turned and walked back inside. Desmond ran his hands through his hair he stared up at the sky. What the hell did she mean? Figuring he would never understand, he resolved to ask her, at some point. You know, when the moment was right. He didn’t want to mess up whatever it was they had right now, losing her as a friend would make for a very lonely summer, and a ‘look but don’t touch’ policy was slowly becoming a ‘touch but don’t taste’ policy, and he could definitely get behind that idea. He was not going to push his luck, he thought, as he headed to bed for the evening.

The next few days passed without anything too exciting happening. He spent lots of time reading online textbooks that he could find that were at least somewhat related to his upcoming College courses. He was scared, of course. Both for the workload, and for the idea of the ‘college life’ that people talked about. Of course, at the idea of repeating the kind of things that he did with Lauryn, he figured it couldn’t be all bad.

On Thursday afternoon, Desmond heard a knock on his door and walked over to open it, only to be greeted with the sight of Lauryn and Lumi. “Oh, um, hi,” Desmond said awkwardly. The girls smiled back at him.

“Get grab your swim trunks, you’re coming with us to Lauryn’s and going swimming. Hurry up, she’s got towels and we’re not waiting, so just grab them. No, you don’t have a choice!” Lumi said as she pushed Desmond back into this room and he grabbed his trunks, and shut off his laptop. He turned around to find them walking away and she called back, “We’re outside, let’s go!” Meeting them outside, they all piled into Lauryn’s ’05 Jetta, and she sped off blasting really bad pop music that both girls sung along to, loudly. Desmond just rolled his eyes and smiled as he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes,hoping that when he opened them again,

When they got to Lauryn’s place, he that perhaps there was more then he thought to this girl. She lived in, for lack of a better term, a mansion. It wasn’t ostentatious, but it was definitely a very expensive house. As they walked into the back, he saw they had an Olympic sized pool with enough grass for a badminton net. She, or perhaps better put, her family, was loaded and yet she didn’t come across spoiled, even if she was. It gave Desmond a new found respect for this girl that had originally seemed quite shallow.

“Hey, Desmond you need to get changed right? Follow me.” Lauryn said grabbing his hand and memories of leading him during the party flashed in his mind and he started to get hard. As she led him towards a room inside, she reached the door and opened it, turned around and kissed him full on the lips. Desmond was so surprised he froze for a second before gathering her in his arms for a full on lust filled kiss. When they finally broke it they were both breathless and she said, “Wow, that was…wow. Now get changed, I need to go cool off after that!”, and spun around and hustled back out the way she’d come. He heard a splash and a yelp as he closed the door to get changed.

They spent the afternoon swimming, they played around, splashed, all those things you’d expect. Nothing sinister though, never more then a few seconds of contact. Which, Desmond realized, was probably good for humilities sake. Especially considering that both these girls he was highly attracted to. As they got tired, the got out and wrapped towels around them selves, Lying down in a lawn chair, Desmond saw the sun blocked briefly and opened his eyes to realize that the girls were flanking him now, both sitting facing him with appraising looks. As he sat up they locked eyes, and then looked back to Desmond. He was worried, what was going on? Had he done something wrong? Ah! Panic! Taking a deep breath, Desmond tried to sound non-chalant as he said, “So, what did I miss?”

Lumi glanced over and her friend and was the first to talk, “So, I told her that you told me.”, seeing the look of panic in Desmond’s eyes, she hurriedly added, “don’t worry, no one is upset. I was just curious, had YOU ever done anything like that? I mean, I have never had a hook-up that hot. Are you a regular sex machine or just lucky?” Desmond looked at both of them and laughed awkwardly.

“Well, to be honest, that was the first time I’d really ever gotten a blowjob. I had sex once with a girl, but it was a hurried affair that was more about primal desires then, well, making it enjoyable for either of us.”, Lauryn looked at him quizzically, “Not to say that the sex wasn’t good!
