The Loverboy (5 page)

been available and she seemed younger than him. She never heard
from him since then and she had made no attempt to contact him
again. Their “fling” had just been a way to pass the time at
camp but there had been no really feelings with it. She had not
longed to see him when they were apart. The exciting part had
been the sneaking around and not him. He had been a tool in the
adventure and she was pretty sure that he had felt the same way.
She had never longed for anyone like she did now. She got
up and took her shower. Then she woke Ally up and Ally got
herself a bowl of cereal while Kim got dressed. She had saved
the outfit he had bought her for today.
“Would he notice?” she had wondered.
Then she went into her mom‟s room and put on some of her
mom‟s make up. Just a little, she didn‟t want to look like a
slut. Ally got dressed and looked at her curiously.
“Why are you wearing make up?” she asked.
Kim just shrugged not wanting to try and explain it and end
up telling more lies. Her quota of lies had been filled for the
rest of the year and it was only February. They left for the bus
and got on, Ally got off the bus at the middle school and Kim
continued on. At the high school she got off and she went
through the motions of school on autopilot. When the final bell
rang and she was finally done, she shot out of the school en
route to the mall. If anyone asked her what she had learned at
school that day she couldn‟t have told them a single thing. The
whole day had seemed like a blur which had been one big
daydream.
When she got to the mall it was almost four. She spotted
the Porsche in the parking lot and was instantly in a great
mood. He was really here and she hurried to the food court to
find him sitting there at an empty table. He noticed her
immediately and jumped up almost knocking the chair down. He
clumsily caught it and prevented it from hitting the tile floor
with a loud bang. She laughed and he kissed her on the cheek.
“Are you hungry?” he asked.
“Just a little” she said.
“Mind if we go somewhere else?” he asked.
She shrugged and said “Sure.”
She didn‟t mind. This place would be crawling with kids
from her school soon just like every Friday afternoon and she
had spent enough time with them already. He grabbed her hand and
led her to the exit. On the way out they passed a few girls from
her class and they immediately started whispering. That was the
perfect amount of exposure. They saw her with this handsome man
and it would go around the school like wildfire. But she didn‟t
need to spend any more time with them. They got to the car and
he opened the door for her. She slid in, he got in on the other
side.
“I have to be home by five thirty” she said apologetically.
He smiled and pulled out. They headed south, then west on
Bluemound. Soon they pulled into the lot of Kopp‟s, which had
the best custard ever. The weather was freezing and he took her
to get ice cream. Weird she thought but somehow it was perfect.
They both had a vanilla cone and he told her how beautiful she
looked. She blushed.
“Like my outfit?” she asked.
He nodded and said “I should take you shopping more often.”
They sat there for a while eating their ice cream
pretending that was preventing them from talking so the silences
weren‟t that awkward. When they were done it was five.
“I should take you home” he said.
She nodded and they left. He opened every door they passed
for her and helped her into the car and she loved every minute
of it. Nobody had ever been so attentive to her. People normally
just took her for granted but not Jake. She just couldn‟t
believe her luck. They sped off to her apartment frequently
staring at each other. He stopped around the corner again and
leaned over.
“I really like you” he said, “and would like to see you
again.”
“I‟d like that” she admitted, her face must have been as
red as a ripe tomato she thought.
He leaned in closer and kissed her gently on the lips. It
was a quick kiss and no touch she had ever felt had been this
good. She quickly kissed him back before he could pull back. He
didn‟t seem to mind and the kiss extended. Mouths opened and in
seconds tongues were dueling. Nate‟s kisses had never felt like
this. This was not just exciting to not get caught. This was
like a fire that erupted inside her and she couldn‟t get enough
of it. Finally the kiss broke off and they stared at each other.
She opened the door and got out. She had to process what just
happened.
He looked a little surprised at her quick exit and asked
“Next Friday? Same time, same place?” wondering if she was still
going to go for it. She nodded and walked away.
Chapter 6:
She walked into the apartment closed the door and leaned
back against the door. Her head was spinning and she couldn‟t
comprehend what was happening to her. When she saw the clock and
noticed it was five thirty she remembered she had to pick Ally
up at Mrs. Simons. She went to the bathroom and washed the make
up from her face wanting to avoid any questions she didn‟t want
to answer and then she headed out and knocked on the door of
apartment four. Ally opened the door and said hi.
“You ready kiddo” she said and Ally grabbed her bag and
coat and waved to Mrs. Simons.
Then they went back to their own apartment.
“You look red” Ally said, the statement being more a
question than a comment.
“I ran home” Kim lied.
I might as well spend next year‟s quota in lies while I‟m
on a roll she thought. She couldn‟t explain what she couldn‟t
make sense of herself. She had this raging fire still going
strong in her gut. In the apartment she pulled a pack of
microwaveable lasagna out and shoved it in the microwave. Four
minutes later it beeped and she dished it up and put it on the
table.
“Dinner” she yelled and Ally came into the kitchen to grab
her plate to take it back to the living room so she could watch
another iCarly that she had already seen more times then she
could remember.
“Aren‟t you eating?” she asked seeing only one plate.
“No, not hungry” Kim said, “I need a shower.”
“Didn‟t you shower this morning?” Ally quizzed.
“Yes, but I‟m sweaty from running” she said and thought
“and another one.”
This lying thing is getting to be a habit. She walked into
the bathroom and turned on the shower. She dropped her clothes
on the floor and got in. The fire just wouldn‟t go away. She
turned the shower colder but she was still sweating. Then she
took the showerhead of its holder and guided it over her
shoulder, across her breast and past her stomach to her vagina.
She maneuvered it so the spray was on the right spot and with
her other hand she caressed her breast as she would picture him
doing. She was so turned on that it took but a few moments
before she erupted into the most intense orgasm she had ever
had. She put the showerhead back in its holder and sat down in
the shower. Warm water still running over her she tried to catch
her breath. She sat there for an undetermined period of time.
Finally as the warm water was running out she turned off
the water and dried herself. She put on her bathrobe and threw
the clothes in the hamper. The fire was gone. She felt weird,
weird because here was this guy that she had only spent less
than two and a half hours with and he had made her feel like
that. Sure the showerhead had helped and it had never worked
that well before. She had never felt like that and hungered for
more. She wanted him to take over from the showerhead though.
The weekend and rest of the week went by way too slow. She
wanted it to be Friday again. At school the rumors were flying
around but she didn‟t respond to them. She only told Annie and
Annie just ate it up. She thought it was the most romantic thing
ever and confessed that she wished that Matt would kiss her like
that.
“Matt who?” Kim responded.
“Matt Pierce” Annie shot back irritated “you know the guy
in our class that I‟ve told you I like?”
“Yeah, I remember. Sorry” Kim said not meaning the apology.
Matt was not worth talking about when Jake had to be
discussed. They couldn‟t be in the same context. Matt was a nerd
and Jake was a god. Annie dropped it disappointed in her
friend‟s reaction and got up and left. Kim said bye and didn‟t
even notice her friend‟s disappointment.
After Annie had left, the cheerleading squad stopped by
asking “Where‟s your loverboy?” in a childish and obnoxious
tone.
She didn‟t even warrant it worthy of a response and grabbed
her backpack and raced after Annie. “Annie, hold up!” she
yelled.
Annie stopped and turned to see her.
“Sorry” Kim told her, “my brain isn‟t working, there is too
much bouncing around in it and I didn‟t mean to be so self
absorbed.”
Annie smiled and nodded “Yeah, sometimes you can be a real
bitch” she said jokingly and they laughed.
Friday came around again. She woke up early again but
stayed in bed until she heard her mom close the door behind her
when leaving the apartment. She hadn‟t felt like talking and her
mom had let her off easy the week before but surely today she
would have demanded more information. Either way see didn‟t want
to risk it. She took her shower and woke Ally up. While Ally
took a shower she looked through her clothes for something to
wear. The outfit had been washed but she couldn‟t wear that
again. She couldn‟t find anything decent though. Just a top that
was passable but not great by any stretch of the imagination.
She decided to wear it with the jeans from the outfit. Then it
would be a bit different she thought.
The day went by in a haze again and Annie had wished her
good luck and told her to be careful. Careful for what, she had
thought, this is Jake we are talking about. What would she have
to worry about? She got to the mall after school but didn‟t spot
the Porsche. It was a large parking lot that was situated all
around the mall so it could be anywhere. When she got to the
food court he wasn‟t there. She waited anxiously for fifteen
minutes before digging into her pocket. She found his card and
went looking for a pay phone. Just outside the food court. She
found the pay phones. The first one was missing the receiver.
She moved on to the second one and picked it up. She dug into
her pocket for change but couldn‟t find any. Just then she saw
him walking toward her.
“Sorry” he said apologetically “I got stuck in a business
meeting.”
“I‟ll make it up to you” he promised.
“I have to be home in an hour” she said trying not to sound
too disappointed.
“I can take you, so we have a little time” he said with a
sheepish smile, “if you can forgive me for being late that is.”
Of course she could.
“Are you busy tomorrow night?” he asked. She thought and
remembered that her mom had told her she would be home Saturday
night so if she wanted to hang out with Annie that would be ok.
She shook.
“Want to go with me to 67?” he asked.
The 67 was a brand new club that opened a few months ago.
It had immediately become one of the hotspots. Some of the
richer girls in school with college boyfriends and parents that
didn‟t keep track of them had tried to go. Only a few had gotten
in with fake ID‟s and even then they had been in line for over
an hour and a half.
“Sure” she said with a huge smile on her face”But I don‟t
have a fake ID to get in and I hear they are very strict there”.
“Don‟t worry about that” he said, “Do you have a dress?”
She shook, thinking of the dresses she had in her closet.
She was even embarrassed to wear those to a family gathering. No
way was she going to wear any of those to the hottest club in
the greater metropolitan area. He grabbed her hand and before
she could speak he dragged her to one of the fancier stores. In
the store he approached a sales woman who looked her over with
disapproval. He pointed at a red sparkly mini dress. The dress
was strapless and looked amazing. The woman grabbed the dress
and directed her to the dressing room. In the dressing room she
put on the dress and it fit perfectly. She looked in the mirror
and she looked amazing. This was not Kim Brown the plain girl.
This was Kim Brown femme fatale! She walked out of the dressing
room and both Jake and the sales woman nodded approvingly. The
woman got some red high heel shoes that fit the dress and they
too were a perfect fit. What where the odds? She wobbled as she
tried to walk around and quickly stopped not to look like an
idiot or worse and wipe out.
“We‟ll take them” Jake said not even checking the price.
She changed back into her normal clothes and they wrapped
up the dress and the shoes. Before she knew it they were out of
the store again.
“I‟ll take you home now” he said as he led her to the
parking lot and helped her into the car. They got back to the
apartment with 15 minutes to spare. He leaned over and kissed
her again. She immediately kissed him back and they made out in
a fury of passion. When they finally came up for air she grabbed
a piece of paper and scribbled down Annie‟s address.
“Pick me up here” she said.
“Ok” he said grabbing the piece of paper, “I‟ll be there at
seven.”
He kissed her again and she opened the door. She definitely
needed another shower she thought. When she got inside she
quickly hid the shopping bags under the bed again. Then she went
to get Ally at Mrs. Simons place. She got Ally some dinner and
took her shower. When she came out Ally was watching
iCarly….again! She grabbed the phone and went into the bedroom
and called Annie. She told Annie the whole story and asked if
she could help out. Annie wasn‟t comfortable but didn‟t want to
disappoint Kim so she agreed and they made plans. Tomorrow
around noon she would go to Annie‟s and spend the night there
she would tell her mom. Annie‟s parents were in some African
land tending after oil business again and they would have the
house to themselves. Jake would pick her up there at seven and
drop her off there again and Annie would cover for her. It was a
perfect plan.
When her mom came home she asked if she could spend the
night at Annie‟s. Her mom hesitated but Kim told her that
