With that, she stomps into the kitchen and grabs a glass and a bottle of wine and goes into her bedroom. I turn around to find Grady giving me the thumbs up, a grin split across his face. I can’t help but roll my eyes at him, that did not go well, but desperate times and all that shit.

I crack a smile as the eighties music comes back to life in her bedroom. Just like that, the picture of her dancing with that tight little butt pops back into my head.

“Come on, man,” Grady snickers, “I’ll help you get your stuff in since she won’t.”

Well, I guess I’m moving in with Nina. Hopefully, I don’t regret this.

TRAVIS

Lying in my new room on the floor because I don’t have a mattress yet, I stare at the strange things her roommate left in the room. There’s a creepy clown doll in the closet that I keep avoiding, but I feel like it continues to stare at me. A weird plant is sitting in the corner of the room that smells like some kind of rotten fruit, and a poster on the ceiling of a group of monkeys with their faces painted like The Insane Clown Posse. Clearly, she had a thing for clowns.

If I wasn’t so full, I would clean out the room now. But Mom had fixed meatloaf for dinner, and I’d been treated to the fine stories of Brian, Lindsie’s well-traveled boyfriend. Now I’m full, stuffed like a little pig because I had three servings. It’s hard to get comfortable, so I turn on my side, facing away from the closet and close my eyes.

I can’t help thinking about the night I decided it was time to leave town. Seeing Nina again has brought back a lot of emotions and memories I pushed down.

Stepping out of my house, I find dressed up kids, and lit pumpkins line the streets. Nervously, I walk down the sidewalk to the Halloween party I’m going to just to impress Nina. I know she loves Top Gun. She watches the movie all the time. While I don’t care for it, I still dressed up like Maverick. The plan is to show her that I really know her and that we should make it official, tell everybody that we are together.

I’m not going to lie; I feel pretty cool in my jacket and shades when I make it to the party. Most people are already drunk when I walk in, and the house is so packed, it’s hard to move through the crowd. Considering how huge this house is, it’s crazy to think how many people must be here.

Upstairs was for drinking and dancing, and downstairs in the basement, they set up a haunted house. He even hired people to act, it’s totally legit. I’m planning on taking Nina through it later, hoping she’ll get scared and cling onto me. The thought of her has blood rushing to my dick. Damnit, being a teenager sucks sometimes. One more year and I’ll be twenty, maybe then I can think about Nina without getting hard.

I finally had her two nights ago. It was her first time, and she was nervous, but everything was perfect, she was perfect, just as I knew she would be.

Pushing the thought of Nina coming apart while I thrust deep inside of her out of my mind, I go looking for her instead.

I spot Grady in the center of the room watching Tucker getting ready for a keg stand. He sees me and waves me over.

“You up next?” he asks when I’m close enough.

“Nah, I’m good. I will, however, take a video for blackmail if he falls or pukes.

“Chug, chug, chug.” The crowd gathered around the keg chants as Tucker stands up with his legs straight in the air. To our displeasure, he didn’t fall when they let him down. Instead, he lets out some sort of war cry and tears his shirt off before running out into the crowd of people.

“He’s going places,” Grady says with a laugh.

I shake my head, “Probably not good places. Hey, you know where Nina is?”

“Not sure,” he shrugs, “walking around with Tati somewhere. Why?”

“Just wondering,” I try to sound nonchalant. Luckily Grady is already buzzed and doesn’t seem to notice how nervous I am. I want to tell him so badly. I’m done hiding how I feel about his sister, but I can’t do this until Nina gives me the go.

After a while, I go back to searching for Nina, leaving Grady to drink with the rest of our friends. As soon as I enter the kitchen, I spot her talking to Tati. I can’t tell what she is dressed up as, but I know I love what she is wearing. It’s a tight red dress that fits her perfectly. It accents every delicious curve of her body and my mouth waters as I remember having my hands all over her.

Tatiana’s voice is high-pitched, and she seems to be upset about something, which is normal for her. Tati is the drama queen of the group, always has to be the center of attention. I roll my eyes, listening to her complain about who knows what. I wait for a break in the conversation because they still haven’t seen me yet.

That’s when Nina says something I didn’t expect, “I just wanted to get it over with and lose it, Tati. I’m sorry you feel that way, but seriously, Travis was just a way to get rid of my virginity. Now it’s done.”

The words hit me like a punch in the gut. The air is knocked out of me, and I stumble back. Turning around, I start walking out of the room, running into people left and right, but I don’t stop until I’m outside, and cool air fills my burning lungs.

I spend the rest of the night walking aimlessly around town, reliving what she’d said. She’d just wanted to get rid of it. Now it’s done. That’s all I was to her?

I come back out of the memory and roll over and I wonder if Nina is asleep. Part of me wants to confront her over what I heard, somehow make sense of it. Then, of course, it wouldn’t change anything. What’s done is done.

A few days after that party, I decided to leave town. I couldn’t be around her anymore. I closed my eyes and put my finger on a map. I didn’t care where it would lead me. I opened my eyes, drove six hours away, and got a job. I stayed, dated crazy women, and talked to Grady almost every day. I never asked him about Nina though.

God, I really just want to go to sleep. I close my eyes and try to count sheep jumping over a cloud, when that doesn’t work, I imagine kegs rolling down a hill. As a last resort, I imagine boobs bouncing as Nina runs on a beach naked.

That finally does the trick. I fall asleep, but unfortunately, it’s a restless one. The first night we were together in the biblical sense infiltrates my dreams.
