The phone rang three times before Kathryn answered, "Hello? Carlson residence."
"Hey, Kathryn. It's Courtney Jones. You know..."
"Hello Courtney! Happy Birthday."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Oh come now, I've known yo since you were born. No need to be so formal. I'd like to think we're friends."
"Of course we are Kathryn..."
"Please, call me Kate. You used to you know."
"Well, yeah I know that. But I'm a student of yours and..."
"And when we are in school you can be formal. We are not in school now, now are we?"
Courtney giggled, "That's true. Only two week left then summer vacation. Then off to college!"
"That should be a fun time. In a lot of ways my life didn't start until college. So what can I do for you Courtney?"
"Well..." Courtney paused, trying to figure out how to say what she wanted, "I don't know how to say this. I'm...I'm a virgin, see?"
"And there's nothing wrong with that. I was a virgin until college as well. It is simply your state of being. That is all."
"I know that. I'm not ashamed of it. It's just...I...I want..."
"You want Jeremy to be your first?"
"You're good! Yes...but I'm nervous. I've heard it can hurt. And...and what if Jeremy thinks I was...you know...easy. I...couldn't handle that Kate."
"Trust me on this. You could walk over to his house right now, and jump him in his bed and I doubt he would think you were easy."
Courtney played that scenario through her head, her nipples tingling at the thoughts. She absentmindedly brought her free hand up to rub them through her bikini top. "You think?"
"I know. I remember how you two looked at each other when you were kids. I think it's fitting in many ways that you would want this. How about this. I have a friend, she's a sex therapist and educator. She should be in this afternoon. How about you talk to her. She's better equipped to deal with this than I am. In fact..." Kathryn paused a second, "All of your friends are eighteen now, right?"
"Yea..." Courtney said slowly, drawing the word out like a rubber band.
"I think I can get her to do a seminar for the lot of you. Educational and all that."
"I'll see if they want to come. This friend...it's Jasmine?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll make some calls...what time?" Courtney said.
"About three I guess. That gives her time to settle in, and prepare."
"Sounds good, thank you Kate!"
"My pleasure." |
