Last weekend I received a call from my cousin Linda. I hadn't seen or heard from Linda in years. We were very close in our younger days, but had drifted apart as we grew older. We both have been married for over 40 years and have Grandkids. It's so hard to believe we were once young and carefree.
After we talked for over two hours and caught up the best we could, I found myself drifting back to that one summer night back in 1977. I don't often think about it, but my conversation with Linda must have triggered something if the recesses of my mind. Something I had not thought about in years.
The year 1977 was very eventful for me. Both Linda and I were two years out of high school, we were 20 years old and attending the same local Community College. We also had both gotten engaged early in the year. Both of us had met our boyfriends in our junior year of high school and always had great times double dating and just hanging out together. Linda's family lived out in the country on a beautiful 15 acre estate. Her father owned a construction company that provided them with an upscale lifestyle. Their house was spacious and well decorated. The yard was gorgeous with lavish gardens, a full sized in ground pool and a large patio area that was great for cookouts and parties.
My fiancee, Chad, was the first boy I ever got serious with. I had dated quite a few other guys before we met but when we got together I knew I had found the right guy. From the make out session on our first date, things just got hotter the more we dated. We were both somewhat sexually unaware but we learned quite a bit fairly quickly. I dated a few guys who got to second base with me but never further. Chad was the first I really explored with. It wasn't too long into our relationship before we were into some heavy petting and eventually into the discovery of oral sex. Not too soon after that, we had our first venture into intercourse. It was the first time for both of us. I guess you could say we grew up together sexually.
When mid July of 1977 rolled around Chad had to return to college for his Sophomore year. Since he attended school on a football scholarship he had to be back early for summer workouts. We talked almost daily on the phone and I was able to drive up to school to see him once in a while. It just wasn't the same as having him around. We both missed each other greatly. Chad always said I was the perfect girl for him. Smart, pretty face, long dark hair, great legs, a killer ass......and loved sex as much as he did. He was the same for me. Strong, muscular body, broad shoulders and chest, sturdy legs, great hair......and the best kisser I ever knew. Fortunately for the both of us, we had learned how to take matters "into our own hands". That would have to suffice sexually until we could visit.
Linda's fiancee, Brett, had also graduated in 1975 from a neighboring high school. Upon graduating high school, Brett and his best friend Phil enlisted in the US Navy. They were both outstanding athletes in high school but had always dreamed of making the Navy a career. Shortly after Chad had to return to school, Linda called to say that Brett was going to home for a week on leave from the Navy. He and Phil would be in town for that week and wanted to know if Chad and I would want to hang out with them. When Linda told him Chad had returned to school for summer practice he suggested that Linda invite me over to her house while they were in town. Since Linda's parents were away on vacation we could get together there, grill some steaks, swim in the pool and enjoy some R & R.
