When you are still in high school and living at home, the technical legal status of being 18 or 19 years old doesn't mean a great deal. Just because the law considers you an adult, rarely means the 'rents do. Really, really rarely!
That not only creates some additional tensions as a teenager, but almost guarantees you will be hearing 'So long as you are under MY roof...' as the final judgment handed down to almost any attempt of invoking your age as some kind of defense. You eventually learn, you certainly have better odds of simply 'pleading the fifth' than ever having 'But I am 18...' getting past the jury. 'But, I'm an adult...' is only slightly less insane, the few times you bother to ASK permission to do something first. I quickly learned the futility of trying it either way, and just accepted the 'their house - their rules' mandate.
So had Derek. Very suddenly.
His big 'This *IS* the way it's gonna be' lecture after trying to use the lame 'But I'm 19' line, came only 36 or so hours after our 'helping out a buddy' mutual hand jobs in my bed. He was caught fucking one of the easiest cheerleaders in his usually safe, well secluded, basement bedroom in the middle of Saturday afternoon.
I look back now, and think a lot of the reason for banging her, was not because he was 19 and always sniffing for tail. It was just typical Derek to be hornier than a 65 year old man at a strip joint; with the cash from his first social security check, and a freshly filled Viagra prescription; both in his pocket and ready to really celebrate retirement. Nah...it had to be more about trying to prove to himself that he WAS totally straight, in spite of what had happened between us two nights previous.
Anyway...it wasn't the first time together for them in his bedroom; but it sure was the first time they had gotten busted. His mom showed back up at home a whole lot sooner than expected from her shopping trip, and Mrs. Austin had quietly wandered down to his room to ask for help unloading all the groceries in the mini van.
Instead of finding her normally helpful, 'little boy' watching Bugs Bunny cartoons on his television; she was treated to her very adult son, uttering male porno movie star moans; 'Fuck me harder jock stud' female demands mixed in; and his fully naked body slamming his hips hard into the also totally nude girl under him on his bed.
Now Annie Austin was no prude, but was definitely less than thrilled when Derek pulled out and rolled over in shock at the sound of her voice. According to him, his mom being '180 degrees from happy' didn't even come close to describing her next reactions...when he came all over himself and his latest, regular trollop...right as his mom's eyes had glued themselves to his pulsing seven inch soldier. Mothers do tend to freak some when seeing their little boys with grown up equipment at full attention the first time. Saluting AND spitting out white bullets only makes it worse.
I had nearly laughed myself sick when he told me the story and the resulting 'You just can't DO shit like that son' sermon his dad gave him after dinner, when we met up to play pool later that night at the mall game room.
Course, I had always followed the guideline about 'no messing around in your bedroom,' my 'rents had laid down. Since 'with girls' had always been at the end of that oft mentioned dictate, it was an easy one to obey. Now if my mom or dad had any clue I might be gay, and made it no sex at all, period; I would still have joined the ranks of 'felony level, house rule breaker' two nights earlier...and happily done even more than just whack Derek's pretty cock while he whipped mine.
* * * * *
I don't know if it was due to getting caught screwing, or just the extra time we started spending together again the next week; but Derek didn't even bother to ask anyone to the Christmas dance. He had suggested we both go stag, and see who we could get lucky with; but I attempted to beg off by using the excuse I would rather just sit at home and play Nintendo, than have to make out with the skanks or zit-faced freshman wall flowers that would be there by themselves.
I really didn't want to go to a dance with Derek, only to be left hanging around the refreshment table, abandoned by my best friend. Shoveling stale Oreos in my mouth and drinking lukewarm eggnog punch; while his easily distracted cock had him in the back seat of his Camaro with any chick that showed enough interest by the end of the first set the band played; wasn't my idea of a Christmas date.
I really, really liked my best friend; but damn; he was such a male whore. But Derek; being typical Derek; managed to use his charms and charisma, and finally convinced me over the next week to show up at the dance. The final offer he made to sway me, was: "If you go with me, you can stay at my place and we'll order a pizza and play Nintendo in my room all night, afterwards." Since the dance was being held on a Wednesday night, and winter break began on Thursday, I knew my 'rents wouldn't have a problem with me sleeping over in the middle of the week.
The only downside would be that I was pretty sure any bed sharing we did, would only be that: 'bed sharing.' Any chance of a Thanksgiving night rerun, would most likely be previously satisfied by his normal school dance goal of fucking in the back seat or getting blown in the front one, before the last song played. Little did my always over-active, but still somewhat naive, mind know!
The dance was even worse than as I had predicted to myself. Derek was boffing his brains out in the car before I had even gotten the chance to say 'No, but thanks,' to the second pudgy, sophomore girl...probably treasurer of the Latin club, or the only female member of the chess team...that asked if I wanted to dance.
One advantage; if it could even be called that, for me at least; of having a best friend like Derek, and hanging out together; was that he was a fantastic babe magnet. It was like being Richie Cunningham and him being 'The Fonz.' Just the dregs and overflow of willing high school tits & ass that would schmooze up to him was huge. When they would shift their attention other directions when he politely brushed them off, meant you were the closest next option. Had my biggest desire still been wanting to pop my male cherry with a female, it wouldn't have been all that hard.
