THE BEST GIFT

Tessa sat on her bed staring in disbelief at her latest birthday gift. To say she was shocked was an understatement. It wasn't that she didn't like it, she did. Just seeing it made her feel all kinds of ways. Yet it sent her mind and her heart into turmoil.
The past six months had been horrible and she had hoped her 19
th
birthday would somehow help her put all the ugliness behind her. So far it had helped, but this gift... What did it mean? Her mind swirled with memories and thoughts that she found disturbing and exhilarating at the same time. She left her bed and stood in front of the mirror as she grabbed her hairbrush. Brushing her hair helped her think and she needed a lot of brushing at this particular moment.
Tessa just let her mind wander hoping that somehow meaning would arise out of the chaos of her jumbled thoughts. Oddly enough she started thinking about her mother. Her mother as she lay dying in her hospital bed.
When Tessa was thirteen her mother, Marion, was diagnosed with mid-stage cervical cancer. Despite surgery and chemotherapy she eventually succumbed to the disease when Tessa was fourteen. To help deal with the pain and also to prepare for what she knew was her probable demise, Marion had turned to religion. She and Tessa would read from the Bible and pray together and as the end approached, In her final days Marion prayed long and hard with her daughter. She would then grab Tessa's hand. "This is my punishment, sweetie. I don't expect you to understand very much but I was a bad girl. I was wild before your father and I married. Promise me, promise me to be a good girl. Save yourself for the right man and stick with him." Tearfully, Tessa had agreed.
Even at fourteen Tessa knew about the birds and bees as her dad called it, so she knew what her mom meant about being a good girl. She vowed to live up to her pledge to her mother.
Shortly after her mother's death, she became involved in the Purity movement but had not joined it entirely, since her father refused to have anything to do with it. He said he supported her decision but thought that the whole thing was archaic and sexist. So while Tessa never attended a purity ball or had a purity ring, she did pray and pledge sexual abstinence until marriage. Her main goal was simply to save herself until marriage, to be faithful and constant to one man. As she grew older she realized what her dad meant and didn't like many of the sexist concepts behind the Purity movement.
Because of her mother's protracted illness Tessa missed a lot of school and had to repeat her Freshman year. Fortunately, she found a wonderful guy, Ian McAffee, who was only a few months younger than herself, his birthday was just after the cut off date to start school. Ian felt the same about abstinence as she did. He was smart, athletic, and very religious. The perfect boyfriend for her. Shortly after starting to date him, Tessa was totally in love. They were a couple from their Freshman year to the start of their Senior year. They even planned, much to her Dad's frustration, to get married shortly after their High School Graduation. Her Dad never really liked Ian, he tolerated him but said there was something Eddie Haskall-ish about him. Of course, her dad would use some ancient TV series to describe someone.
Tessa's father Phil was an associate professor of Film Studies at The School of Design. He was pretty popular because of his personality. Every year he had one or two female students who gave him trouble. At least that's what he called it. They would become overly attached to him and try to get him to give them extra lessons. Phil part of it was the whole professor thing and part of it was because they thought he had connections to Hollywood. Otherwise, they wouldn't be giving a dumpy, balding old man like him a second look.
Tessa disagreed with that assessment. Although her dad was a bit out of shape and his receding hair was turning gray, he still had a handsome face. Plus his humor made most people forget about any of his perceived physical flaws. Tessa could see why some of those girls would be attracted to him.
Once they were in their senior year, Tessa hinted to Ian that perhaps Ian and she could become a bit more physical in their relationship. Not copulation, but since they were older and planning on getting married, passionate kissing and touching would be okay. Even after four years, it was still hand-holding and chaste kisses on the cheek. Tess craved more than that. Much more. Ian laughed off her suggestions. He said she was just getting those feelings because she was getting close to the age to become a mother. He also said, with his disarming smile, he didn't trust himself to become more passionate or else they might break that sex before marriage rule.
Tessa frustratingly went along with it because she truly loved Ian. Then in October, everything went to hell. Tessa started getting anonymous text messages that Ian was cheating on her. She refused to believe it. However, after two weeks of constant messages, she finally asked him about it. He laughed it off but there was something odd in his voice.
As jealousy and doubt began to plague her mind she had to quell the impulse to stalk him. However, when a text came in that said if she wanted proof of his infidelity, hurry to Ian's car which was parked in the Cotter's Field. This field was near the high school. It was the former site of Cotter's Department store. Several years ago the store had been bought by a chain which promptly closed it. The abandoned building had been bulldozed and the land cleared for a shopping mall. The investors in the planned mall lost their money in the big recession. For over a decade, the ownership was tied up in court so the land overgrew and became a well-known parking spot. Ian and Tessa had gone there a few times at Tessa's suggestion. She thought perhaps Ian would be inspired to do more than kiss her cheek but no all they did was listen to the radio and hold hands.
Tessa drove up to Cotter's field. There were ten cars parked inside the field a bit back from the road. She thought perhaps this was a joke when she spotted Ian's car. It was far away from the other cars and half hidden by bushes. Although there was a similar Highlander parked on the other side of the field Tessa recognized the scratch down the driver's side. Although she felt like a creepy stalker, she just had to know! Tessa made her way to Ian's car to look inside. Although the windows were fogged up the back window had been left open a crack to let in the fresh air. Even a few steps away she could hear grunting and moaning.
She peered through the crack and what she saw almost made her faint. A short, skinny guy wearing glasses was naked and kneeling on the back seat of the car. He was driving a rather impressive penis into someone's anus. This anus was attached to a body had had muscular, hairy legs and a broad-muscled back. A male body without any doubt. This was confirmed when the ass getting stuffed shifted enough that Tessa saw a large erect penis poke against the car seat.
