Jenny and I seemed closer than ever after our early December, late-night "chat". I found that I really enjoyed her company, that I often thought about her when we weren't together, and that I actively tried to spend time with her. She seemed to enjoy our time with each other, and she gave me the impression that she also wanted to share her time with me. Three days a week, we had the same lunch hour at school, and we usually spent that time together, alone with each other, in the school cafeteria. We shared each other's chores and ran errands together. We even did most of our Christmas shopping together.
And, several nights a week, she unwittingly shared her moans with meāthe moans that came through the common wall of our bedroom as she fingered herself to orgasm. Naturally, I jacked off, wrapped in thoughts of her naked body, of her tits, and of her pussy, when I heard those noises.
In the days that followed our nocturnal "chat", I found myself thinking deeply about Jenny and about the relationship between us. And I came to a conclusion that I thought she probably wouldn't like. But I needed to discuss it with her.
That discussion had to wait until we could be sure that our parents would both be gone long enough to give us the privacy the discussion required. That finally happened on the Monday before Christmas, when Mom and Dad spent most of the day together, out of the house, doing their Christmas shopping. Since Jenny and I had been little, they'd liked to have what they called "a medium fancy lunch" together and then spend the afternoon doing their shopping. But they always managed to put it off until pretty late in the season, because, during the first weeks of December, they were busy giving final exams, grading them, and figuring out what grades they were going to give their students.
School was out for the winter holidays, so neither Jenny nor I needed to be anywhere that day. I'd heard Mom and Dad moving around when they'd gotten up around eight that morning, but I'd managed to force myself back to sleep. And I hadn't awakened again until about ten. Maybe I didn't always sleep well at night, but I was at least as good as most teenagers at sleeping in when opportunity presented itself.
When I got up, Jenny's door was closed, and I assumed that meant that she was still asleepāeven though she usually couldn't compete with me at sleeping in. So I went downstairs and got something to eat. As I was eating, I heard the toilet flush upstairs, and I knew that she was finally awake. But she didn't join me in the kitchen. When I finished eating, I went back upstairs to see what she was up to.
Her door was open, now, and she was sitting on her bed. Except for her bare feet, she was fully clothed, wearing a pair of jeans and a flannel pullover shirt. She had her back propped against the headboard, and she was reading a book. Hearing my tap on the doorpost, and she looked up at me. Smiling, she greeted me, "Hi, sleepyhead! Come on in and have a seat." And she moved over to make room for me.
I kicked off my shoes and joined her on the bed, remarking, "Your door was closed when I got up, and I thought you'd out-slept me."
"Nah," she replied. "I got up a little after Mom and Dad did, and I didn't want to deal with them this morning. After breakfast, I just felt like I wanted some private time. I heard you get up, but I was still happy by myself. I'm ready for some company now; I'm glad you're awake. What's up?"
"Not much," I answered. I paused, and then went on, "I've just been doing a little thinking."
She grinned at me. "Don't hurt yourself!" she offered.
"Awwwā¦" I responded. I didn't have a good response; I was still thinking about the two of us. And I'd confirmed the conclusion I had reached earlier. I was even more certain, now, that she would find what I had to say unwelcome.
"That's it? 'Awwwā¦'? Are you feeling well?" At least she was in a good mood; I wasn't sure that mood would survive what I had to say.
"No," I answered. "I've just been thinking about some of theā¦
stuff
we've been doing." Then, hastily, I added, "I know it's wrongā"
"Yeah. And not just wrong." As she interrupted me, her smile evaporated, to be replaced by a much more serious expression. "A lot of people would say that what we've been doing is⦠wellā¦
sick!
"
I nodded in agreement. "I guess that's right. By most people's standards, I guess it's pretty sick for us to be fucking each other."
She smiled at me, gently this time, and said, "I know I told you we needed to quit doing that with each otherāI knew we needed to stop. But then I decided I wanted to do it with you another time. So that one was my fault. But, when we did do it again, I sure did enjoy it."
I smiled back at her. "You made me glad we have insomnia," I answered.
She delivered a mock punch to my shoulder, and said, "You did that for me, too!"
"But I've gotta tell youā¦" I went on. I paused for a second and looked into her eyes. She returned the look. "Your body is so wonderful; it turns me on so. Andā¦" I stopped.
Her smile deepened at the compliment, and she prompted me, "What? 'Andā¦' what?"
"ā¦and your pussy feels so good, I guess."
Now she was smiling broadly. "Your dick feels pretty good, too, you know."
I couldn't help myself; I grinned back. "I modestly admit that I knew you would say that," I cracked.
She grinned back. And the remark got me another mock punchābut not quite as mock as the previous one had been. "Dope!" she replied.
We paused for a moment; again we looked into each other's eyes, and I felt like our souls were communicating.
I sobered a bit, and I said, "There's more to it than that, Jen. I need to be serious with you."
Her expression changed; she could see, now, that I really did have something on my mind. "Okay, Jer," she said quietly. "What is it?"
"Jen," I began, "I can't figure out a good way to say this. So I'll just say it directly, and then I'll live with the consequences."
"It's okay, Jer," she encouraged me. "I can't think of anything you might say that would put me off. Just go ahead and say it."
