Ben's Day Ch. 07

Juliet had the strangest sensation. It was like waking up from a dream about waking up from a dream--but she had been awake for twenty minutes already. A strange, tingling pain flared up her spine, giving her a moment of pause, but then it subsided, and she resumed bobbing her head on Harry's stiffening cock as he moaned a pleased moan, finally waking enough to put an encouraging hand on her head.

Last night had been their second date--and their first time in bed together--and since Juliet was going to a concert over the weekend with Sam, she wanted to make sure that while she was gone, Harry remembered how much fun they had and that when she came home he would be aching for more. This was, of course, in addition to the fact that when she had seen his big half-hard cock sticking out of the scrunched-up leg of his boxers in the dim red glow of her alarm clock, just below the smooth, defined v of his lowest abs beckoning her towards it, she just couldn't resist putting him in her mouth again.

He tasted like deliciously musky, salty manhood, the flavor becoming more pungent as she slid her mouth up and down his pulsing length, sucking her cheeks in and pressing her tongue against the veiny contours of the underside of it. She could feel the pulse of his heartbeat quickening against her tongue.

"Shit you're a good cocksucker," Harry breathed, and Juliet smiled--or at least did the closest thing she could while her lips were still fastened around his girth--pleased at the compliment, "yeah...keep sucking my dick you hot little...yes...fuuuuck"

Juliet's phone rang, lighting up on the bed next to her: it was Sam. She popped her mouth off of Harry's cock with a slurp, swallowing the musky mix of sweat and pre come in her mouth before answering the phone with her right hand while her left hand slithered up Harry's leg and encircled his slippery dick, sliding up and down it to keep him hard while she looked past his cock and up his athletic body, flashing him a naughty smile.

"Hey Sam--I'm up, don't worry. I'll be ready when you get here," she said; Harry, clearly disappointed that she had traded her mouth for her hand, used the hand he had on the back of her head to pull face back towards his cock, tightening his buttocks to thrust his dick against her lips as he did so.

Juliet resisted a bit at first, shooting him a look of mock irritation as his dick slid off her lips and left a sticky trail across her cheek, but then winked and licked up the side of his cock as Sam answered.

"Great, we're actually pulling onto Harry's street now, so you can come right out," Sam answered.

"What?" Juliet said, shocked, pulling her phone away from her ear to look at the time: four AM, "Shit...sorry Sam, I'm up but I thought it was earlier...can you wait like, five minutes? I'm not dressed yet."

Harry's hand pulled her back towards his cock again, and Juliet smiled back up at him and popped his cock back in her mouth while still holding the phone to her ear, letting it stretch out her cheek as she teased it with her tongue rather than trying to take it down her throat again just yet.

"Uh...I guess," Sam responded hesitantly, "We don't have a lot of time before the bus is supposed to leave...and if we miss the bus we need to pay for new tickets..."

Juliet popped Harry's dick out of her mouth again to answer, "Ok...I'll be out as fast as I can. Sorry Sam!"

She hung up, and started to jack Harry's dick faster.

"Think you can come quick for me? I gotta go..."

"Maybe if you put it back in your mouth," Harry breathed impatiently, pressing her face into his dick again.

Juliet engulfed him obediently, still pumping her hand up and down his cock as she started to bob her head fast, making loud wet sounds with each bob, hoping to finish him off fast. His cock was pressing into her throat now, filling it more with its fleshy girth each time she went down, and as she sucked her cheeks in around it and swirled her tongue across the warm, veiny length of him. She started to taste his precum even more: salt and musk and lust.

"Fuck yeah. I love the sound of you slurping down my cock...," Harry muttered, his hand starting to pull her head into him faster, forcing her to take him deeper into her throat, "fuck yeah, suck it!"

A minute passed, and Harry's hand was starting to grip her hair a bit painfully now, and Juliet decided that she would do this for another ten seconds before she gave up. She gave it her all, slurping and squeezing his cock with her tongue and lips and cheeks, gagging it down her throat further with each bob...but he was still hard in her mouth, and she pulled off of him despite his insistent hand, coughing a few times before she could speak.

"Sorry Harry...I really need to go!" she said apologetically, wiping her mouth on her arm, "I was hoping it would be a nice way to say goodbye before I go but..."

Harry groaned with disappointment, grabbing his cock in his own hand and pumping it impatiently.

"Come on! You got me so hard...your friend can wait can't she?"

Juliet winced, shaking her head.

"I'm so sorry, Harry! I thought it was earlier..." she smiled, "I promise that I'm going to be spending the next day and a half dreaming up ways to make it up to you. How does that sound?"

Harry sighed, waving her away.

"Yeah...ok" he said, grabbing his phone off of the bedside table and looking at the time, "Jesus it's early."

Juliet smiled and turned to get cleaned up and dressed as fast as she could. Luckily, she had already packed and set out her clothes the night before, so it didn't take her long--she even managed to swirl some mouthwash in her mouth while she was pulling on her clothes so that her breath wouldn't smell too much like Harry's cock. After a quick goodbye to Harry, Juliet stepped out of her boyfriend's apartment and into the frigid pre-dawn air and hurried over to the idling car just a few steps away, opening the door and sliding into the back seat.

"Hey, sleepyhead," Sam teased, turning back from the passenger seat and smiling.

"I'm so sorry! Sorry Mr. Strahovski!" Juliet gasped as she closed the door behind her.

"Don't worry about it, Juliet," Sam's father responded with a friendly, if tired, smile, "I'm sure we'll get you to the bus on time."

He turned back to the road, and Sam gave Juliet a teasing smile, waggling her eyebrows. Juliet blushed and looked out the window.

It was a short drive to the bus station, and when they got there, the bus had yet to arrive. They waited for several minutes, Mr. Strahovski making friendly conversation with the two of them while Juliet did her best to put Harry's disappointment out of her mind. He would forgive her--she would make sure of that when she got back. When the bus finally arrived, Juliet and Sam said their goodbyes to Sam's dad and both of them hurried through the cold and onto the bus.

"So... how was your night?" Sam said in a hushed voice as they settled into their seats; Juliet blushed.

"It was... nice," she answered cagily.

"I bet. Your first night staying over. How was he?"

Juliet looked around the bus and leaned closer.

"Good. Really good!" she whispered, "He's so hot. I... I lost track of time this morning because I was... I was trying to get him off before I left."

"Harry has stamina then?" she whispered back, "Let me know if you ever want to share him!"

Juliet giggled at that, and then was suddenly overtaken by yawn. Sam nodded, yawning in response. The bus's engine rumbled as the doors closed, and the lights went out.

"Let's try and sleep, at least a little bit," Juliet said, "You can lean on me if you want."

Sam nodded in the darkness, and the two of them snuggled into the most comfortable position they could manage before drifting off to sleep.

The sleep didn't last long, though. As soon as the morning light started to come in through the windows, both of them were awake again, Sam rising from Juliet's shoulder and stretching like a cat. Since neither of them were able to sleep, they tried to fill the time with idle conversation--at first about the upcoming concert, then rumors about their mutual friends--but eventually the conversation came around to Juliet's college crush, Ben Lannon.

"I'm surprised--and happy--things are going so well with Harry...a few months ago and I would have thought you were still holding a candle for you-know-who."

Juliet flushed a little bit.

"Yeah well, I sort of ruined my chances there after what I said to Vic--and I need to move on."

"Victoria? Are they still..."

"Yeah, Ben's still with Vic," Juliet sighed, "that's actually why Vic hasn't spoken to me in the last month."

It was at that moment that Ben's head popped up over the back of the seats in front of them.

"Hi Juliet. Hi Sam."

Both of them froze for a second, their eyes wide, as he seemingly had appeared at the mention of his name.

"I'm...s-sorry I--" Juliet started, mortified at what he might have heard, but Ben just smiled.

"Look. It's fine. I know all about it. I just thought it would be better to let you know I'm here now rather than make things awkward later," he explained casually; Juliet felt a heavy, hot weight in her belly as she was overwhelmed by embarrassment, "and Vic and I aren't really together anymore. She's been cheating on me for years--in fact she's planning on fucking some guy named Harry tonight."

Juliet gasped and put her hand to her mouth.

"You don't need to worry about me," Ben said, his voice a little weak, "I'm...I'm working through it. I just thought I should let you know I'm here. I'm gonna try to go back to sleep."

Ben smiled for their benefit before disappearing behind the seats, leaving Sam and Juliet to stare at each other in silence. Juliet couldn't help but think of everything he had just heard...did he know that she liked him? Did she just say that she did? And what about that thing he had said about Vic fucking some guy named Harry? Could he mean her Harry? Juliet stood up to peer over the back of the seat back at Ben to ask him, but he was already leaning against the window, earbuds in and eyes closed. She took a moment for herself to watch him like that--admiring the line of his jaw, the lean muscle of his arms--before shaking herself and sitting back down.

Sam gave her a questioning look, and Juliet shrugged.

"He's got his headphones in."

"So..." Sam whispered teasingly, "he's single now..."

"I'm with Harry now," Juliet replied, "I can't just--"

"What about what he said?"

"That can't be the same Harry. Look--just--I don't know, ok?" Juliet looked at her phone, seeing that it was still before nine AM; too early to call Harry and interrogate him, "I guess I'll just have to wait and see."

They were quiet for a while then. Sam tried to comfort her, but the longer she thought about it the more convinced she was that Harry was cheating on her. The bus stopped to take on more passengers, and the two of them stepped out to use the bathroom. On the way out, she saw that Ben was awake, and despite herself she smiled a bit, waving to him. Ben waved back before going back to searching through his bag for something. In the bathroom, as they were both washing their hands, Sam finally said something.

"You mentioned...on the bus...that Victoria wasn't speaking to you anymore," Sam said hesitantly, "and that it had something to do with Ben. Right?"

Juliet nodded. After what Ben had said, she was having a hard time not dwelling on the possibility that Harry might be cheating on her.

"I think you...I think you might have a good reason to be worried then," Sam said, sighing heavily, "that's kinda why she and I have never gotten along. She's... well she's a horrible bitch. I know you've been close with her before but... she basically ruined my first relationship in college by fucking my boyfriend in front of me just because her boyfriend saw me naked."

"Jesus, really?"

Sam nodded.

"And if she thought she had a reason to be jealous of you..."

Juliet felt a weight drop in her stomach. Harry was...well he was hot, and sweet in his own way, but now that the thought was planted in her mind she couldn't help but think of him in the worst light, and imagining Vic--with her curvy body and mischievous eyes--offering him sex, it was easy to see him accepting; he was just so...driven. He was great in bed, but part of that was just how much he wanted sex, and if someone who looked like Vic was offering it...

Once back on the bus, the two of them settled into an uncomfortable silence, and as new passengers started coming onto the bus, Juliet decided to try to take her mind off of things by listening to some music as she stared out the window, drowning out almost everything apart from the lively conversation happening in the seat in front of her between Ben and some woman who had just boarded the bus. Even without making out most of the words, and trying not to pay too close attention, Juliet could hear that the woman was laying it on pretty thick with Ben.

After listening through the Red Marionettes first two albums, trying to ignore her own thoughts about Harry and the heavy flirtation going on in the seat in front of her, the bus finally started to pull into the station. The two of them got off the bus, Sam clearly guiding Juliet away from Ben and the ridiculously fit, busty blonde woman who was practically throwing herself at him.

"So," Sam said after she had steered Juliet around a corner, "what do you want to do in the city today? We've got over eight hours until the concert starts. We'll probably show up a bit early, but that's still plenty of time to kill..."

Juliet smiled weakly back at her friend.

"I mean...I should probably call Harry..."

Sam shrugged.

"If that's what you want. I was thinking more...grabbing a nice lunch...maybe getting some drinks somewhere...buying some new clothes...picking up a guy or two for revenge at Harry..."

"What?! No, I can't do something like that. I don't even know if he's really cheating on me! That could ruin everything! Plus...I've never...just...like picked up a guy. I go on dates and have a boyfriend. I think I'd be too scared and nervous to just do it with some random guy. I don't think I even could!"

Sam raised her hands in mock surrender, unable to suppress a smirk.

"Ok...maybe we don't try and get you some strange dick just yet. But everything else I said might be fun?"

Juliet looked at her phone hesitantly. It was still pretty early, considering it was a weekend, and they had a...long night, the night before. Harry might not even be awake yet.

"Ok. I'll just text him now, then we can go do something fun. But I'm going to need to talk to him eventually.

Juliet quickly tapped in a message to Harry.

J Just got to the city. Give me a call when you're up?

She waited for a few seconds to see if he would respond before tucking her phone into her purse.

"Ok," she said, breathing out a heavy sigh, "let's do...something. Coffee?"

Over the next couple of hours, the two of them got some disappointing coffee and an early, greasy lunch at a diner near the bus station, the cold so oppressive that neither of them were willing to spend much time finding a better place. Sam spent the time doing her best to distract Juliet from the thought of Harry cheating on her, but nonetheless Juliet found herself checking her phone anxiously for some kind of response. After lunch, Sam looked up a nearby shop that she could drag Juliet to.

"Look, we need to take your mind off of this...but we also both need better clothes for the concert. It's going to be crowded and hot out on the floor...and we should look our best. Plus, if he's not cheating, maybe you can reward him with something sexy to wear for him, and if he is, maybe it will make you feel better to wear something sexy for yourself!"

Juliet allowed herself to be pulled along, despite not being much of a shopper. She liked nice clothes, obviously...and finding something that made her feel sexy and confident always felt good, but she had never really enjoyed the experience of shopping as its own pastime.

The store they went to was in a small urban shopping center nearby, and as they walked in, Juliet thought she saw the busty blonde woman Ben had been talking to leaving in a rush, blushing...but she couldn't be sure, and didn't mention it to Sam. Once inside they found the women's section and started looking through dresses, each of them picking a few to try on before Sam urged Juliet towards the lingerie section.

"Just pick something out...it'll make you feel good about yourself no matter what Harry's deal is!"

Juliet relented...it was easier to follow along and do what Sam said rather than think about Harry cheating on her or wonder why he was taking so long to call her back. She picked out a few things, with Sam nudging her towards a few of the more revealing options in the lingerie section, before they split up and went into changing rooms across the hall from each other.

The first dress she tried on was a tight, knee-length, yellow strapless thing with a slit that ran up her left leg almost to her hip and a thin diamond shaped window at the center of her chest. The dress's stretchy material hugged her body a little more tightly than she was usually comfortable with, and the shape of it also meant that she had to wear it braless. Juliet wasn't so busty that going braless was likely to end in some sort of disastrous wardrobe malfunction like some of her friends were, but nonetheless she still had enough curves that it made her feel a bit more jiggly and exposed than she usually preferred. Still, she pulled the thing on and looked at herself in the mirror, swiveling her hips to see how the clinging skirt drew attention to her butt. She sighed, shaking her head, and started to reach up to pull it off, but was interrupted when three quick knocks came on the dressing room door.

"Jules, can I come in? I need you to zip me up."

Juliet opened the door and Sam came in, one hand behind her back, holding her dress together, the other holding her own pile of clothes against her chest.

"Wow! Jules, that dress looks good, are you going to buy it?" Sam said as gawked, plopping her clothes on the bench.

"I dunno...It feels a bit...tight and clingy and slutty for my tastes."

Sam turned her back so that Juliet could zip up the back of her dress.

"It's not slutty. It's hot," she said, peering back over her shoulder, as Juliet zipped her up "It shows off what you have. What do you think of mine?"

Sam turned and struck a pose. Her dress was a shiny, silky blue, sleeveless, with a deep, plunging neckline that made it almost all the way to her belly button. It wasn't as tight as Juliet's, but it showed off a lot more of her skin, from her long legs to her freckly shoulders and sternum to the swell of her modest breasts which, while smaller and perkier than Juliet's, still had the volume to peak just a hint out either side of the thin strips of fabric that covered them.

"Wow Sam, you look so pretty! I wish I was tall and thin like you! I look like a hobbit next to you."

"If you're a hobbit, you're a hobbit with curves!" Sam said with a naughty smile, giving Juliet a playful spank, "besides...some guys like a girl they can toss arou--"

She was cut off by the sound of Juliet's phone ringing in her purse on the floor. Juliet scrambled to grab it, pausing before answering it.

"It's Harry..." she said, hesitating while looking at Sam for guidance.

Sam shrugged.

Juliet took a deep breath, and answered the phone.

"Hey," she said, not sure where to start.

"Hey...how's the city? you said you wanted me to call?"

"The...the city's fine, I guess? Cold. Anyway...sorry this is weird Harry but...I just...I heard something that I don't think is true but...but I thought I should tell you that I heard..."
