My name is Andrea and my senior year of high school was coming to a close. Graduation was only 2 weeks away. I had just turned 18 in February. All my immediate girlfriends talked constantly about sex, but to be honest, I had not met anyone that I would have even wanted to have sex with. Several of the boys I dated in high school were awful. On the first date, they would be pawing at you and hinting suggestively. "Forget it," I would tell them. My reputation as being cold and untouchable spread fast.
Right before the end of school, I was invited to a party that a friend was having. When I got there, I noticed a boy named Paul. He was tall, with wavy brown hair that seemed a little disheveled. Very cute, I was attracted to him from the start. Paul was a friend of a friend. He didn't attend the same high school as most of us so I never saw him at other parties.
I noticed Paul was eyeing me and I shot him a smile. He came over and introduced himself. When I told him my name was Andrea, he commented that it was a beautiful name. I had never liked my name until I heard it roll off his lips. We spent most of the night talking. I found out that he was also a senior and had plans to attend the same college I was going to attend. He was pleasant, easygoing and a great listener. Paul was truly interested in my likes and dislikes and kept me talking most of the time. It turned out that we had a lot in common. We even shared the same birthday. At the end of the night, he offered to take me home. I had arrived with my best friend who was nowhere to be found so I accepted.
He drove me home, walked me to the door, reached over and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and asked if he could call me. Naturally I said yes. Wow! What a difference from some of the other boys I dated. The last one must have been an octopus because he had 8 arms all over me. I crawled into bed and could hardly sleep thinking about him.
The very next day, Paul called and we went on our first date. We both had a great time and soon we were inseparable. All summer was filled with magic. I was having the best time of my life. Paul was even well liked by my parents and younger sister. He was as confident talking to them as he was to any of our friends.
Summer was ending and we were making plans for school. We went shopping together, sometimes with my parents, sometimes with his. They treated me like a daughter and I became very fond of them as well.
The first couple of weeks of classes were hectic. He was living off campus in a nice apartment with two roommates. I was in the dorms. We tried to see each other as much as our classes allowed. The campus was large and there was plenty to see and do. We went to movies, saw some great concerts, and attended sporting events. On the weekends, we would usually make the 2 hour drive home. One weekend he would drive the other I would drive.
Even though we had many opportunities, we still had not had sex. He could pleasure me with his touch and I was always eager to reciprocate but we had not progressed any further.
