The day after my shower with Paige I went to work and my head was not right at all. Part of my distraction was the realization that I had a gorgeous new girlfriend. Mostly though, it was the fact that my girlfriend was a high school girl. Should I bail out now before this ship ran aground? I did not want to and that was the rub. I actually wanted a relationship with her, not just to fuck around. The age gap would not mean much in ten years but right now it was bigger than the Grand Canyon. 18 to 25 is a huge jump. Was she expecting me to give her my class ring? Is that what the shirts meant? Fuck me.
Brad came by to distract me in my office cube.
"Paul, what happen between you Reba? Heidi says she is pining for you worse than ever."
"Really I thought I rejected her and I wasn't nice about it."
"How so? I think she wants to date you now."
"I shut her out hard for not being..." I almost said 'For not being like Paige'. For not turning me on the way Paige did. For not being as sexy as Paige.
"Being what?"
"For not being someone I could fall in love with."
"You think too much. What's so bad about hooking up and seeing where it goes? It worked for Heidi. She got me." Brad was grinning. Good for him. "What did you two do after the club? She seems to be stuck on you."
"Ask Reba. Fuck if I know."
"Reba wouldn't say."
"How's Heidi?" I just wanted to get the conversation off Reba.
"Good. Have you called Reba lately?"
"No"
"She wants another go around."
"I'm okay. Thanks."
"Just a heads up. She says she is going to call you. She has something special planned to impress you."
"I'm really not interested." Brad cocked up an eyebrow. "I just don't like her this much. Better to end it now, before someone gets hurt." like Paige.
"Your loss, but you should really stop thinking so much."

The rest of the week went well. I successfully dodged Reba. I talked to Paige on the phone just before bed the nights she did not stop by. She stopped by the back door fully clothed Tuesday and Wednesday just to hang out, eat dinner, feel each other up, play video games and chat for a bit. We kissed deeply when she arrived and left. We were enjoying each other's company.
Wednesday I asked. "Have you lost interest in your tan?"
"Well, I have a confession." She looked down very embarrassed. She reiterated, "There's something I need to tell you." she paused again. What kind of grand secret was she going to unveil? It was all very dramatic. "I hate to sunbath."
I roared in laughter.
"It's not funny; I was torturing myself for you. I just wanted to come over and it seemed like a good way to get your attention."
I couldn't stop chortling, so I tried to mask it as fake crying and feigned depression, "No more 'booby shows'?" I stuck out my bottom lip in a pout to further express my deep sadness.
"I never said that. You're such a baby" she lifted her shirt and showed me her bra encased 'girls'. "There, happy?"
"They were less captive last I remember. Happy and roaming free."
Off went her shirt and she threw her bra at me. This time she seemed very comfortable with my looking. "Ahem" she reached across the table and pull at my sleeve. I took my shirt off too. I led her to the sofa where we sat stoking each other's chests kissing. Later she went home after a long kiss goodnight or two or maybe thirty.
Before she left we made special dinner date plans for Friday. Her parents would be away all weekend so there would be plenty of time to get ourselves into trouble.
On Friday Paige arrived while I was still cooking. She was gorgeous in a striking way. Her little black dress showed lots of cleavage, black shear stockings, six inch black heels. But what had me most shocked was her hair. She had cut it shorter into a bob style. Before she had been a perky ponytailed high school girl, now she was a strikingly beautiful brunette woman.
She smiled unsure. "Do you like?"
I stood with my mouth hanging open, trying unsuccessfully to find my words.
