OâGradyâs was a young peopleâs bar on the near north side of Chicago. You could enter from the alley or the street; the bar itself ran almost the entire length of the room ending in a long âJ.â I sat at the end of the âJâ where I had equal opportunity to observe who entered from either entrance. I sipped my beer that early Friday evening; the crowd would start in about an hour. Shortly afterward it would be elbow to elbow; smoke and noise. Females would be slightly outnumbered, but not by much. That statistic was the reason for my early arrivalâŚmaybe tonight would be the night?
Larry Jackson is my name. I am a recent graduate of a Midwest college where I majored in computer science. My first interview was my last; I joined a major software company located in Chicago and was in my second month of a lengthy training program. At six feet tall with brown hair and brown eyes and no fat on my 190 pounds, I thought I was good, but not great looking. However, if some girl tonight decided on great, I wouldnât argue too hard.
For two months, several times a week I sat at OâGradyâs. I never missed Wednesday or Friday night, since those two nights seemed to attract the greatest number of females. Despite my due diligence, my score card was pretty empty. I grew up on a farm far from the nearest town so I never received the proper socialization required to attract and keep the opposite sex entranced. I long ago concluded that my efforts to enjoy the pleasures of sex rated at least a B, but my execution was an Fâand that score might be generous. So I took up my position at OâGradyâs, hoping for the best and expecting the usual.
The bar had by now started to fill. There were two empty seats left at the bar and the waiters were starting to attract beer orders from clumps of people commingling on the floor. I heard a female voice next to me yell at the bartender, âDamn it Frank; if you would look around you might find 500 or so customers that need a drinkâŚespecially me! Will you get off your ass and bring me my usual?â
Frank grinned at her from down the bar, gave her half a finger in a joking way, and shuffled over to mix her drink. While she waited for speedy Frank, I checked her out. She was a nice looking blond about five feet six inches or so, big breasts hidden by a colorful sweater, and very nicely tapered legs showing beneath her skirt.
âCan I buy you that drink?â I heard myself say. She turned to check out the offer. She had blue eyes and high cheek bones; definitely a class face. I saw instantly, however, that I missed one key item; she was old, at least twenty-five or so to my twenty-one.
I knew that she also spotted the age difference; the four years were like 20 for those into the bar scenes. I could see her thoughts turning to voice as she was about to put me in my place. For some reason she stopped whatever she was about to say, gave my hand a little squeeze and with an ironic grin said, âThanks, but Iâm a little too old for you, and Iâm usually a pain in the ass, but thanks for the offer.â
It was a gentle put down, but the arrow went deep. She saw my hurt, but Frank came up with her drink and she was gone.
I couldnât help itâI sipped and sulked for another hour or so. OâGradyâs was now packed. Chairs at the bar were sold for ten dollars so that someone could sit next to their date. The floor was packed; the waiters fought through the crowd to deliver beers and accept tips. I thought to myself, âAnother 45 minutes or so of sipping and I will call it a night.â
My elbow was tapped from behind me twice. I swiveled in my chair and found the nice looking, but tough blond in front of me. She grinned and said, âYour luck is as good as my luck; why donât you offer to take me for a walk out of this smoke filled den of sin and booze.â
I dropped a couple of bucks on the bar for Frank and we were off through the alley exit. We came out on the street of barsâall of them like OâGradyâs but with different names. We walked without talking for a block and she turned onto a quiet street. Not a word had been spoken yet. Finally she said, âMy name is Jenny CollinsâŚ.and you?â
I answered, âLarryâŚLarry Jackson that is. Iâm a computer nerd going through a year long training program. OâGradyâs gives me the chance to remind myself that the world isnât just made of computers.â
Jenny replied, âNothing is wrong with computers or the ones that make them go. There is money in those things.
âIf you donât mind walking a bit to get the smoke out of us, tell me about yourself Larry.â
And so I told her about growing up on the farm, the high school and college highlights and how impressed I was with myself to finally be living in a big city like Chicago. She asked me questions and got me talking some more. We walked for an hour and Jenny asked the questions and I did the talkingâI couldnât stop talking to this female, who was beautiful, who was paying so much attention to me.
Finally Jenny stopped walking. We were in front of an apartment on one of those Chicago tree streetsâOak, Elm, Chestnut or one of those. She looked at me and said, âThis is where I live. Do you want to come up for a while?â
I was shocked. Jenny was way beyond my league, and yet she was asking me to go into her apartment late on a Friday night. I was elated; I was scared. I was hoping that I could fake my lack of experience.
âSure,â I said. âIâd like that.â
She took my hand and led me up the stairs to the second floor. She unlocked the door and pulled me in. Her hand flipped a switch and a table lamp came on somewhere in the room. I looked into her eyes; afraid to do something, and afraid to do nothing. She grinned and stepped closer to me. She said in a teasing voice, âCanât a girl get a kiss without waiting forever Frankie?â
I moved into her and brought my lips to hers. I felt her tongue force itself between my lips and our tongues met, and teased each other. I pulled her closer and felt her breasts pushing against my chest. I kissed her harder. She took my arms and pulled them down. Taking my hands in hers, she raised them to her breasts and covered each of her breasts with my hands. I felt the softness of them; I squeezed them gently, not wanting to hurt but wanting to feel. She took my hands again and brought them to the bottom of her sweater. They slipped under her sweater and I felt her bare midriff. My hands explored her stomach moving up to her breasts and our kiss continued. As I reached her breasts she said, âTake off my sweater; it will be easier for us.â
She lifted her arms as I pulled the sweater over her head. She stood there in her bra. Her breasts strained against the material. She whispered, âNow my bra.â
My hands went around her searching for the clasps. I found them, but they wouldnât open. I was embarrassed that I could not get Jennyâs bra off, but my fumbling so close to her breasts was causing me to have an enormous erection. Finally, one of the combinations worked, and her bra fell from her arms. I stepped back and saw her breasts. They were large with a little sag, the nipples were small. I touched one of the nipples and it began to harden.
Jenny suddenly grabbed my hand and dragged me into her bedroom. We stood face to face. Looking at me she kissed my lips and stepped back. She kicked off her shoes and removed her hose. Then her skirt fell. She slipped her fingers around the elastic of her panties and pushed them down. She stepped out of them and faced me. My eyes went to her pussy. It had been trimmed for a small swimming suit bottom. I looked up and she stepped up to me; she undressed me.
By the time she pulled my shorts down to my ankles, my erection was unbearable. She pulled me as she lay on her back on the bed. My lips went to hers and we kissed, I assaulted her nipples with my tongue. My penis was moving over her vulva searching for an opening. It found her vagina and entered her. I came almost immediately.
The release was fantastic. My thoughts were horrible. My first time and I did everything wrong. Did Jenny come? Was she even aroused? I was embarrassed.
Jenny drew my body up to her and gently kissed me on the lips. Jenny said in a quiet voice, âI did a very unfair thing to you and I want to talk about it now. I knew that you had little sexual experience; itâs not hard to spot. Maybe this was even your first time?â
