During the summer, life for Will was a continuous blur of lazing around, sleeping, more lazing, the occasional swim in the river, and more sleeping. While school was in, he lived a few hundred miles away in the dorms (at least they were the nicer new dorms). The college was located in a good sized city with plenty of things to do when not in class; boredom was a thing of the past. Every summer though, he came back home to live with his mother and sister (his dad had died when he was only two years old) in their house, well removed from the city on a large piece of land. His sister, Beth, went to a local college and lived at home year round.
Because they lived so far out of the city, most summer activity was centered at home or the surrounding wilderness. Will went down to the river behind the house every day or two to swim or fish, maybe a little canoeing now and then; mostly though he stayed in and watched TV (at least they had satellite here) or played video games on the computer, not that he had any talent at them.
Now, he was sitting watching some bad 80's action film on a movie channel and talking on the phone to one his college buds.
"Aw man, no way!" said Will.
"Yeah, it was right after I got back from the airport."
"Lucky man, lucky. How was it?"
"Fucking. Incredible."
"How the hell did you pull it off though?"
Some explosion ripped across the screen, mildly catching Will's attention. Explosions were good, but discussing sex always won in comparison in the mind of any 20 year old.
"She had just broken up with her boyfriend," the voice on the phone said, "after catching him with some other girl. I think I was in the door for three minutes before she knocked and asked me to go out to dinner."
"Shit man, wish I had rented with you this summer, she woulda been asking me instead."
"Whatever man, she's had eyes for me since last fall. You remember that time at Beaver's party (Beaver was the nickname for one of their party crazed friends)?"
"Well her eyes were all over me that one day at the pool. Figures you weren't there to see it though."
"Yeah, that's cause there wasn't a pool, because that day never happened you fuckin' liar."
"Ah, fuck you. Anyway, what happened then?"
"Mostly she just bitched about him while we were eating. I was kind of hoping she'd shut up about it. She finally did though and began asking me about myself. She seemed really interested in every fuckin' thing that I said."
"She must have been stoned then because you're about as interesting as a fuckin' dead moose," Will said sarcastically.
"Yeah well, this dead moose just fucked Tina Frank, asshole."
Will laughed. "I'm not sure I'd want to be involved with a girl that likes fucking dead mooses."
They both laughed.
"So, we go back to the apartments and I get to her door, and she turns around and starts slobbering on my face. Pulls me in the door and starts tearing my clothes off."
"Damn! I'd be all over her if she did that," Will said, imagining Tina Frank pulling him in her apartment for wild sex.
"Shit, I was kind of stunned and just stood there. Eventually though, yeah, I was all fuckin' over her. God she gives an amazing blowjob. Then we fucked a few times before I left." "Left? Fuck, it'd take an army to get me out of her bed after that. Does she want to do it again?" "She didn't really say, but I kinda got that feeling. I'll be waiting for her when she comes home though, that's for fuckin' damn sure. What have you been up to?"
"Christ, you know there's nothing to do in this wasteland. I've been doing a whole lotta nothing real fast."
"Is that one chick still living nearby?"
"Naw man, I went by but it looks like the family moved or something. The house is empty. I'll ask Mom about it," he said, remembering Sarah, a cute girl that had lived close to him since he was seven. Her parents' property started on the other bank of the river and they had often swum together during the summers. "Fuckin' shame."
"Too bad, she was pretty cute."
The conversation played out a few more minutes while cars exploded and bullets flew on the screen. After hanging up, Will decided that was enough bad action for today. Time for a swim.
He changed into some shorts and went out the door heading towards the river. It was about sixty yards from the house, across a lawn with the occasional tree. The banks of the river were about six feet above the water, lined with thick foliage. The river itself was probably 30 feet across at this point and only about 6 feet deep; enough for swimming. A mild current usually ran through this part. Further downstream, the river opened up to as wide as 100 feet and ran as deep as 30; a few shallower rapid areas up in the next county. Still, it provided mild entertainment in an otherwise dead-boring locale.
He climbed up the banks and looked in at the water. Same as yesterday (and a few eons before that), cool and wet. He glanced upstream and was caught by a surprise. There was a girl there standing on the banks kicking off her shorts. She was standing naked dipping her toes in the water testing how cool it was.
It was obviously a good temperature because she began to wade out into the stream. From here, Will couldn't see who it was. Maybe there was another house that had been built nearby recently. Maybe there was a girl here that would want to be fuck buddies for the summer! That was his hope anyhow.
