This is the second in a [potential] series of stories that Iâm working on. Theyâre based on reflecting about some âwhat ifâ situationsâsituations where I made a more conservative decision and, perhaps, just missed a once-in-a-lifetime (for me, at least) opportunity. That said, theyâre based, at least loosely, on people that Iâve known (and either admired or lusted after) over the years. My apologies regarding the first one, What If Ch. 1; I had intended for it to have this preface but in my first submittal, I managed to completely botch it.
I enjoy writing, and hopefully Iâve written something that you enjoy reading. Iâd love to hear your feedback and constructive comments. And please remember to vote when youâve finished the story.
I hope you enjoy it!
âAre my tits the only thing you think about when you look at me?â
I have to confess, thatâs the first time I was asked that question and I immediately paused. Now, mind you, itâs not the first time that the thought had occurred to me where Jackie was concerned (and the answer was: âYes, most of the time they are the only thing I think about.â). But it was the first time it was actually voiced. And sitting directly across from Jackie, you can probably guess where I immediately looked. Come to think of it, you can probably guess what my immediate reaction was (my shorts began an obvious tenting).
But maybe I should back up a bitâŚ

Jackie was a neighborhood friend of mine. She was two years older than I was, going into her senior year at our high school while I would be starting my sophomore year, but in spite of the age difference she didnât ignore me or treat me as if I were significantly lower on the evolutionary ladder. I wasnât her best friend or anything; however, she actually said âhelloâ and chatted with me when she saw me. It probably had as much to do with the size of our high school and neighborhood (both were tiny) as it did with the way she treated most everyone (friendly and accommodating). In fact, it was precisely that attitude that would get her into trouble, but more on that later.
As far as I knew, Jackie didnât date regularly. Part of it was that, in some respects, she was unremarkable. She was quite short, only five feet tall. She was a little on the plump side, with an oval face that some would say still had a trace of âbaby fat.â Personally, I thought she was extremely cute and looked kind of pixie-ish. Her hair was unremarkable as well, a blondish-brown that she wore for at shoulder-length for most of her life. Recently, sheâd gotten it cut very short (further emphasizing the pixie look in my mind) and it really looked good on her.
The remarkable part about her was her breasts. They were huge. They were big and firm and they stress they had to put on her bras would have given any engineer a nightmare. Or a hard-on. Most likely both. And they werenât the soft, floppy tits that many well-endowed women have. These looked gravity straight in the eye and said: âPiss off.â Wow.
Not surprisingly, these local landmarks garnered the attention of nearly every male in the neighborhood. And more than one of us had attempted to get a look at them. Or better yet, a handful of them. For a number of my fellows, that was the primary activity of that particularly boring summerâtrying to get a good look at Jackieâs tits.
Our neighborhood was much like any Midwestern small town. There were plenty of aging houses, standing shoulder-to-shoulder and facing the street, with an alley in the back to provide access to the garage and the back yards. The back yards were separated from each other by the regulation, waist-high, chain-link fence, while the back of the yard, where the detached garages were located in most of them, was filled with shrubbery and other greenery. This was the part that we boys truly relishedâthe backyard shrubbery.
Like most boys, we were always on the lookout for places to hide; places that could be our own. Where we could think and talk about all those thoughts that we were certain no one else had ever thought. And like most boys, we found more than one of those places (you had to have a few spares, they were kind of like âsafe housesâ). Many of those places were in the local âwoods.â What we thought were wilderness areasâpopulated by a mix of wild animals and wilder nativesâwere really just undeveloped and overgrown areas. One or two of those areas were in the middle of the neighborhood, within the overgrown and untended shrubbery that had been allowed to grow wild over the years. And in one of these, the shrubs had grown up next to a low wall so that that there was a hollow inside, large enough for several of us to sit comfortably inside and be completely invisible to a passerby. This particular hidey-hole quickly became our favorite, partly because of its close proximity and partly because of the danger of being so close to potential discovery.
As we got older, the nature of the activities and the discussions inside our hidey-hole changed. We stopped talking about how icky and disgusting girls were and started talking more about what they might be like under all those clothes. A couple of the boys would regale us with their extensive knowledge about the detailed anatomy of women in general (and a few, like Jackie, in particular). Usually, these were the ones with older brothers who had tried to impress them at one point with their superior knowledge. Rarely, very rarely, they had some sort of first-hand experience of a glimpse here or a feel there that theyâd expand into a truly epic tale.
And for the truly lucky ones, these places became the focus of the exploration of Playboy and group masturbation activities, which I never was fortunate enough to participate in. (For years, I had mixed feelings about this. Partly nervous about whether I could do that in front of everyone, and partly envious that I never got the chance.)
One day, three of us, Greg, Corey, and I, were sitting in the hidey-hole, shooting the shit, and trying to stay out of the hot summer sun. We had just finished an exhaustive comparison of the breast sizes of all the girls in our small borough and had lapsed into a brief silence while we individually entertained deep thoughts about a sea of local breasts (we hadnât progressed quite far enough to discuss nipple sizes yet). In the middle of this brief silence, Jackie poked her head into the hidey-hole.
âHey! Mind if I join you?â
Jackie was one of the few girls who know about the location of the hidey-hole. However, I doubt she had even a vague idea of what went on in there or she would never have risked coming in.
âNahâ Corey said. âCome on in.â
Jackie squeezed through the opening and joined us in the circle between Greg and I. We all swallowed as she twisted and ducked through the opening. Jackie was wearing a pair of extremely tight and short white shorts and a very snug yellow, sleeve-less, v-neck top. As she bent forward coming through the opening, we got the most perfect shot of the huge valley between her boobs.
âSo, what were you talking about?â
Silence.
âCome on, what were you talking about?â
âNothing, reallyâ I said.
âBullshit. I could hear your voices as I was walking around the outside. I know you were talking about something.â
