Chapter 14: In Plain Sight
Rob had practice every morning starting the day after Christmas. The state championship match would be held at the University of Richmond on New Year's Day. My parents surprised us by saying they wanted to come to the game to support Rob. Rob was touched and happily gave them hugs upon hearing the news.
Three days before the championship game, Rob and I went out to lunch at the deli. The deli was quiet with just a couple other people drinking coffee and eating at the counter. We sat in a booth by the window. We were eating our sandwiches talking happily. I realized that this was the first time we were out in public after people knew we were a couple, though I doubted anyone in the deli knew. We weren't overtly sexual, and there weren't any public displays of affection, but it felt good.
"I was thinking we'd go visit grandma on the 2nd; that is if you wanna come along..." I mentioned, putting down my sandwich. Rob put down his sandwich and grabbed the top of my hand with his.
"Of course I want to go with you Bobby." Rob said as he gazed into my eyes. Our gaze was broken when we heard a throat clear. One of the old men at the counter got up to leave and saw Rob holding my hand and gave us a scolding look as he headed to the door. He was older, in his seventies or eighties. His brow was furrowed as he put on an old green trucker hat that had an emblem of a brand of fertilizer. Rob patted my hand a couple of times before he returned to his sandwich.
"Don't worry about him Bobby." Rob said after taking a sip from his drink.
"I know. I just wish people wouldn't judge us like that." I said before wiping my hands on a napkin. "Let's go home Rob."
"Let's get some pie before we go babe." Rob suggested and I reluctantly agreed.
We were finishing our last bites of pecan pie when the waitress came to retrieve our plates. She appeared to be in her fifties with dark hair in large curls that had a tint of gray. She was petite, maybe five foot four inches tall.
"Don't worry about that ol' coot. I think you two make a very handsome couple." The waitress' grey eyes conveyed her honesty, I read 'Shirley' on her name tag and we smiled and thanked her as she walked away. Rob went up to the counter and was talking to Shirley. He came back with a piece of paper and we headed to the truck.
"I'm going to try to get a part time job after football, save some money for college." Rob said as I buckled my seat belt.
"Rob, I'm sure my dad will help you out."
"I know Bobby, I just feel bad being dependant on your parents. It'll be good for me anyway." I understood how Rob felt, but couldn't help feeling bad, maybe I'd try to get a part-time job too.
Rob wanted to rent a movie, so we headed to the store. There were quite a few people waiting in line at the vending kiosk. I missed the stores with racks of DVDs on the walls, where you could take your time and peruse in peace. I started to shiver as it seemed to take forever for everyone to pick out the movie they wanted to see. Rob unconsciously pulled me into a sideways hug and held me against his larger, warmer frame. There was a twenty-something year old guy in front of us. He had longer blonde hair down to his ears, and an earring in each ear. After he picked out his movie he smiled at us and winked as he headed off. I was still huddled against Rob as he went through the selection of movies before finally settling on an action flick. We hopped in Rob's truck and quickly headed home to warm up and watch the movie. I was snug on the couch with my head resting on Rob's shoulder watching the movie. I must have fallen asleep because Rob nudged me awake and we both headed to our room to go to sleep.
The following day Rob was cheery after practice.
"Coach said we had a great practice today Bobby." Rob spoke as he closed the door behind him. "Coach gave us vouchers for the movie theater in Onancock, wanna go?"
"Sure, should be fun Rob." I replied. I got ready to go as Rob looked on the internet to see what was playing.
"It's only a single screen theater, but this movie looks good and starts in 45 minutes. If we leave now we should make it. In the driveway Rob quickly opened the passenger door for me before jumping in the drivers' seat and pulling onto the road.
I bought a large popcorn and Cherry Coke for us to share before we headed into the theater. It was a matinee so it was mostly empty, just a handful of people scattered around the back of the old movie theater. We got a seat in the middle of the third row as the last preview ended. We scooted the arm rest between us up and I leaned against Rob. We shared the popcorn and drink as we watched the movie. Halfway through the movie I felt Rob rest his hand on my thigh. I put the dregs of the popcorn and soda on the ground below our seats as he started rubbing my thigh. I looked at him and saw my lust reflected in his glistening, gorgeous, green eyes as I placed my hand on his thigh.
Our hands got more intimate and we were soon groping each other through our jeans. I was hard and leaking in my tight underwear. I felt Rob's hardness under my grasping fingers. "Let's get out of here." I whispered in Rob's ear.
"Thought you'd never ask." He said as he eagerly jumped up and we rushed out of the theater, throwing our trash out on the way. We were in the truck driving back towards home. I was still occasionally groping him, just enough to keep him aroused, not enough to cause a wreck. I knew where we were going when he turned down a dirt road and pulled into the empty gravel parking lot of the wildlife refuge. Rob parked and turned his truck off.
Rob scooted from behind the steering wheel and was beside me on the middle of the bench seat. His lips were instantly on mine and his hand was checking my arousal through my jeans. With the heat off in the truck it was starting to get cold, but I knew Rob would keep me warm. I deepened the kiss as I fidgeted with the button and zipper on his jeans. He lifted up and I managed to get his jeans and boxers down to his knees before he sat back down. We were cramped and in awkward angles as he slid my jeans and boxer briefs down to my ankles. Our shoes were still on and kept our jeans trapped around our legs. I rubbed Rob's beefy, hairy thighs before I was slowly stroking up and down Rob's hard, long, thick, velvet-soft shaft as he moaned into my mouth. He was doing the same to me. I was so horny and needed to feel Rob deep inside me.
"Fuck me Rob." I moaned when I broke our kiss."
Rob shook his head before speaking. "Sorry babe, no lube. I don't want to hurt you."
I whimpered in disappointment until I got an idea. "Do what you did the first time."
