The Next One Ch. 01

"You'll notice that you are fully dressed and if you check yourself out you'll see that nothing happened to you. There's a coffee and an Egg McMuffin on the vanity counter for you. You need to do whatever it is that you are going to do so that I can run you home or to wherever you left your car."

I turned on the TV and was watching the news and weather and working on my coffee when the bathroom door opened and she cautiously came out. She looked at me and then the food on the counter and she picked it up and sat down on the edge of her bed. She took a bite of the McMuffin and asked:

"Who are you and what is going on here?"

I didn't tell her my name, but I told her what I had observed and what I'd done.

"I am so in trouble" she said' "My parents must be frantic right now. I'm going to be grounded until I'm eighty-five."

"It could have been worse."

"How?"

"You could have woken up naked on a mattress in a frat house bedroom."

"Oh God; don't say that."

"Do I take you to your car or drive you home?"

"I don't have a car. I was with a date last night."

"What happened to him? How did he let you get into the situation that you were in?"

"He got drunk and was passed out before we were even there an hour."

"Well we need to get you home then. The sooner we do that the less likely your folks will have the cops out looking for you."

She gave me her address and told me how to get there. When I pulled up in front of the house she hesitated for a few moments and then started to get out of the truck.

"You're coming in to tell them what happened, right?"

"Oh no. I'd be the guy closest to hand and I'd be the one to get all the blame. No thanks. Good luck."

I put the truck in gear and pulled away. As I drove off it occurred to me that I didn't know her name. No matter; she didn't know mine either and that is what counted. No way for her parents to get to me. Or so I thought.

Saturday afternoon I got a call from Gloria Buggins telling me that a bunch of kids I'd graduated with were having a skating party at Skate City and she asked me if I wanted to come. There were maybe eighteen kids from my class there and Gloria attached herself to me and stayed my skating partner pretty much the entire evening. I did skate with Harlina Collins and Nancy Neubert a couple of times each, but Gloria took up the majority of my time.

When things broke up we all headed for the Sonic Drive In. Gloria had ridden to the rink with Pauline French, but Pauline had left the party early and Gloria asked me if I would give her a ride. There was a full moon out that night and when we got ready to leave the Sonic Gloria asked me how long it had been since I had been out to Steven's Point to see the full moon reflected off the lake. Steven's Point was the local 'make out' spot so I had a pretty good idea of what Gloria was interested in and I also had a pretty good idea of the reason why.

Something had happened between Allison and Gloria several years back and the two of them despised each other. I would have bet a month's pay that a trip to The Point with Gloria would reach Allison's ears by noon the next day. It didn't take any thought on my part at all. After all, I didn't owe Allison a thing.

Gloria was not shy in letting me know what she wanted. After ten minutes of making out Gloria said:

"I've been on the pill since I was sixteen Frank."

I looked her right in the eye and said, "And Allison finds out how? You going to tell her yourself or do you have someone else set up to do it?"

"Why honey; how could you possibly think that of me?" and then she laughed and said, "I'm going to do it myself."

I unbuckled my belt, pulled down my zipper and said, "Go for it."

Gloria laughed and said, "I never thought it would be this easy. Pull your zipper back up. My folks are gone for the weekend and I would much rather use a bed than the seat of a truck."

I drove to her place and she led me to her bedroom. As I undressed I asked:

"If it wasn't for Allison would I even be here?"

"If it wasn't for Allison you would have been here a long time ago."

"How is that?"

"There were several girls besides me that were interested in you, but Allison stuck to you like glue and we couldn't get to you. I was surprised when you came back that the two of you didn't get back together. I decided to make my move before Allison got her head out of her ass."

"Head out of her ass?"

"She's been hanging with Tony Spears and he is a prime twit and a total asshole. She is going to realize that sooner or later and by then I hope to have you firmly under my spell."

By then she was naked and she spun around in front of me and asked, "You like?"

Yes indeed I did and I spent the next four hours showing her just how much. Gloria had no limits and didn't hesitate in asking for what she wanted. She sucked my cock and then asked me to eat her pussy. I'd only done it once and I told her I might not be very good at it and all she said was:

"Good. I can teach you how I like it done."

She had me work on her for about ten minutes before she told me "Enough, at least for now. Get up here now and drive the nail home."

It had been a while for me and so I came quick and I'd no sooner pulled out than she went down on me to get me hard again. As soon as I was up again she mounted me cowgirl and then she did most of the work until she got us both off again and then she said:

"Eat me again Frankie."

"But you have cum in you,"

"So what? It's yours. It won't kill you. Swing around into a sixty-nine and we can do each other."

I hesitated and she said, "Come on Frankie; you've got a good thing going here if you don't screw it up."

I took that to mean that we were going to be together for a while if I went along with her program and I got to thinking that eating her might be a small price to pay for steady pussy and so I prayed that I wouldn't upchuck and ruin things and I bent to the task. It didn't kill me and when Gloria got me up again she said:

"Good boy. Are you ready for your reward?"

"My reward?"

"Yes Frankie; your reward."

She got up on her hands and knees and said, "Do my ass Frankie; fuck me in my pooper."

When we were done she led me into the bathroom and washed my cock and then she went down on me for the fourth time that night, but I was done and she couldn't make anything happen. I got up and went over to my clothes and she asked:

"Where are you going?"

"Home."

"Oh no you don't. You are going to wake up here and then I'm going to fuck you and feed you breakfast."

I looked at her for a moment and then said:

"And Allison gets a blow by blow account of the whole thing?"

"What do you care?"

She was right. What did I care.

It happened like she said. I woke up and she fucked me and then fixed breakfast while I took a shower.

"My parents will be home sometime today so we won't be able to do it here tonight so why don't you get an air mattress for the back of your truck and pick me up somewhere around four. I'll let you take me to a movie and by then it should be dark and we can go out to the Point. Sound okay?"

I picked Gloria up at four and we caught the six-twenty showing at the Rialto. When the movie was over I took her to Harry's for burgers and fries. As we sat there eating and talking I saw some of Allison's friends eyeing us and I wondered how long it would take for Allison to hear about it not that I cared.

After eating we left and I turned right out of the parking lot and Gloria said:

"Where are you going? The Point is the other way."

"I'm not in favor of truck beds in the dark and out in the open. I got paid Friday so I've got enough for a motel."

Gloria was quiet for a few moments and then she said, "I'm not doing this just so I can rub Allison's nose in it and I won't even tell her if you don't want me to."

"I don't care if she finds out about it or not."

There was another silence and then Gloria said, "You aren't my first Frankie; you aren't even my tenth, but if things break right Frankie you could be my last."

It was my turn to be silent for a bit and then I said, "It is a little early to be talking like that. We need to know each other a lot better than we do right now."

I pulled into the parking lot of the Starlite Motel and told Gloria to sit tight while I got a room. Once in the room we stripped quickly and spent the next three hours repeating what we had done the previous night in her bedroom and then it was time for me to take her home.

"Tomorrow?" she asked when I walked her to her door.

"What time?"

"Six?"

"I'll be here."

++++++++++++++++++++++

I had a good day at work and I was looking forward to a good evening with Gloria, but the good mood disappeared when I got home and walked into the house. My mom, Mrs. Ames and Allison were sitting on the living room couch.

"Oh Frankie" my mom said, "We were just talking about you. Come on Jan; lets leave the youngsters alone."

Mom and Mrs. Ames got up and headed for the kitchen. I looked at my watch and saw that I'd have to hurry to be at Gloria's on time. I nodded at Allison and headed off to get ready for my date. Five minutes later my mom came into the bathroom where I was shaving and said:

"What is wrong with you Frankie? You were rude to Allison. I know you were raised better than that."

"If I wanted to talk to Allison I would have called her. You and Mrs. Ames need to stop trying to push us together. I have a date tonight and I need to be there by six. I'm tight for time and I don't have any to waste on Allison."

"What happened to you when you went into the Army? You never used to be this way."

"Nothing happened to me. Allison chose to get another boyfriend while I was gone and she chose to stay with him when I got back. That was her choice. I had nothing to do with it. Now if you don't mind, I'm running late and I walked out of the bathroom, went to my room and finished dressing. When I went to leave Allison and Mrs. Ames were gone.

+++++++++++++++++++

I saw Gloria two or three times a week for the next three weeks and then one Wednesday when I got home from work I found Allison sitting on my front porch waiting for me.

"Hi Frankie. Do you have time to talk?"

I didn't have a date that night so I said okay.

"What happened to us Frankie? You don't call me anymore and you are running around with that whore Gloria."

"What happened to us Allison was that you took up with Tony Spears before the tail lights of my bus were out of sight. Then when I get home in time to take you to your prom like I promised -- and remember you told me you were going to hold me to that promise -- you tell me that you already have a date for the prom and it is too late for you to break it. All choices that you made Allison."

"But Tony means nothing to me. I needed dates for a lot of school events and you weren't here. I picked Tony because he was harmless."

"Horse crap Allison. In the first place you did break a date to go to the prom. You had a date with me and I came home in plenty of time to do it, but you broke that date with me and if you could break a date with me you could have broken a date with Tony. Secondly, you say he means nothing to you? He meant enough to you that you gave him your virginity. The most you ever let me do was play with your tits through your top. I never even got a hand inside your bra"

"That is a lie Frankie. I don't know where you got the idea that Tony got my virginity, but that is just plain bullshit!"

"Don't tell me Allison; tell everyone else. Tony is out there telling anyone who will listen that he popped your cherry and that you give the best blow jobs ever."

"He's lying! It isn't true Frankie; I swear to God it isn't true."

"Doesn't matter Allison. You stuck with Tony so I started seeing Gloria."

"She's only dating you to piss me off."

"It doesn't matter why she is doing it Allison; she is doing it and I'm satisfied with it."

"You are wrong Frankie. I did not stick with Tony after you got home. I told him I would go with him because it didn't look like you were going to be home in time, but I haven't gone out with him since the prom."

"Makes no difference Allison. You made your choice when I got home and you told me that you had a date for the prom and that you wouldn't break it. After I found out that you started dating Tony as soon as I was gone we were done. Anything else?"

"You aren't being fair Frankie."

"Probably not, but that's life" and I went into the house and left her on the porch steps.

+++++++++++++++++++++

For the next three months, with the exception of my Guard weekends, I kept steady company with Gloria and then it was time for me to go off to my two weeks of Guard training camp.

It wasn't what I expected. I thought I'd be sleeping in a pup tent, crawling around in mud and going through field exercises, but what I ended up doing was taking refresher courses in my specialty. The two weeks went by quickly and then I went home.

As soon as I unpacked I called Gloria, but her mother said she wasn't home so I decided to run down to Harry's and see if there was anyone around that I knew. There was. Through the window I saw Allison and two of her friends sitting at a table so I got back in my truck. I decided to try the penny arcade next to the theatre and just as I was pulling into the parking lot I saw Gloria come out of the theatre with Ronny Belson. He had his arm around her and she was smiling up at him. Just then Gloria saw my truck, recognized it and shoved Ronny's arm away from her. I continued through the lot and drove on home.

I was not thinking good thoughts about girls. First Allison and now Gloria. I was just pulling into my driveway when my cell phone chirped. It was Gloria.

"Hello?"

"Hi Frankie. When did you get home?"

"About three hours ago."

"Why didn't you call?"

"I did. Your mother told me that you had gone out. Have a good time with Ronny?"

"I was lonely and he asked me to go to the movies with him. That's all it was baby; just a night at the movies."

"Must have been one of those 'feel good' movies. You sure seemed to be feeling good when you came out. All smiling at Ronny with his arm around you."

"It was nothing baby, we were just in a good mood."

"If it was nothing why the quick pushing of his arm away from you? Figure that it wouldn't pass the boyfriend test? Well I've had a long day and I'm tired. I'm going to bed" and I disconnected. I didn't call Gloria the next day and she didn't call me.

+++++++++++++++++++

I was home two days from training when I came home and found mom and Mrs. Ames waiting in the living room for me.

"Frank honey" my mom said, "Can we talk to you?"

"As long as it isn't about Allison."

"What is wrong with you Frankie?"

"Allison and I are done mom. I'm going with Gloria now and I have no plans on changing that."

"We have talked with Allison Frankie and we are sure that it is all just a misunderstanding."

"I said we could talk mom, as long as it wasn't about Allison" and I left the room.

She followed me.

"I won't have this! I am your mother and as long as you are living in my house you will not disrespect me by walking away from me while I'm talking to you."

"You are right mom and I apologize. I'll start looking for a place of my own tomorrow" and then I turned and left the house as my mom called after me, "Wait ; I didn't me..." and the closing of the door cut off the rest of what she was going to say.

I headed for Harry's and on the way I stopped at a newsstand and got a copy of Apartment Finders Magazine and over a cheeseburger and fries I looked for a place that I could afford. Gary Kinson came in and saw me sitting there and he came over to join me. We talked for a bit and I saw him as he kept glancing over at a table in the corner. I looked over and saw Tony Spears and a couple of other guys and looked back at Gary. He had noticed me checking and said:

"I was just curious. I know you were with Allison before she started going out with Tony and I wondered if there was going to be trouble and I should get out of the way."

It turned out that there was indeed trouble for Tony, but not from me. I was looking past Gary and saw Allison come walking in the door. She walked straight back to the table where Tony was sitting, picked up the milkshake that was sitting in front of him and poured it on top of his head as she called him a lying mother-fucker. Then she looked around the room and said loud enough for every one to hear:

"This worthless piece of shit is a lying mother-fucking bastard. He did not take my virginity and I have never given a blow job in my life much less one to this worthless piece of shit!"

By then Tony had worked his way out of the booth and had stood up which turned out to be a bad move on his part since it gave Allison a clear shot at his crotch and she rammed her knee into it. He fell to the floor and she proceeded to kick him until Harry pulled her off. She looked my way and gave me a look that clear as day said "Fuck you!" and she walked out of the place. Gary looked at me and said:

"I'm betting that it will be a long time before Tony talk's trash about a girl again."

I just shrugged. Gary got up and left and I went back to the apartment guide. I found half a dozen and I made a list of places that I could check out after work the next day.

I was just finishing when Gloria walked in and sat down with me.

"You haven't called."

"I didn't want to cause problems for you and Ronny."

"I told you; Ronny and I just went to the movies and that's all."

"All I can say is that it didn't look that way to me."

"Look baby; I told you when we first started that you weren't the first or even the tenth. Remember that?"

I nodded my head yes.

"Well Ronny was one of the first ten and we have remained friends and that's all, just friends. If you also remember I told you that if things worked out right you would be the last and you have been. I have a lot of friends Frankie, both female and male and if you are going to get bent out of shape every time I see old friends and enjoy myself around them I guess you are right in ending it between us."

She got up to leave and I said, "Stay Gloria. You are right. I'm sorry. My only excuse is that Allison stepped out on me when I was gone and when I got back and saw you with Ronny I said "Shit! Not again! I jumped to conclusions and I'm sorry."

"Want to make up? It's been two weeks for me too."

And we did.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

The next day after work I went apartment hunting and I decided on the third one I looked at. It was reasonably close to work and so I put down the first and last months rent and a security deposit.

I went home and started to pack. My mom wouldn't talk to me and my dad asked me what was wrong. I told him that I was tired of being ambushed by mom, Mrs. Ames and Allison whenever I came home.

"I've told mom several times now that I'm not with Allison anymore and that I'm dating another girl, but she and Mrs. Ames are dead set on pushing me and Allison together and I'm tired of it. The only way I can see that will put an end to it is to move out on my own."

Dad shrugged and said, "I guess I can see your point."

I hit Goodwill for some furniture and moved into my new digs. It was a Friday night and Gloria's parents had gone somewhere for the weekend so Gloria spent her first night there to christen the bedroom. Saturday we christened the living room. And the dining room table. And the kitchen counter.

I invited mom and dad over for dinner Sunday and dad came but mom didn't.

"Give her time" dad said. "She's just a little upset right now."

"Why? I'm grown. I wasn't going to live at home forever."
