The only bad part (so far anyway) about deciding to commit to Nick was breaking the news to Kevin. That was definitely not an easy thing, but unfortunately it had to be done and Corinne and Nick decided the sooner the better would be best. Neither one of them wanted to hurt Kevin, but they both knew it would hurt him, which sucked.
Corinne stood there in front of Kevin in his house after breaking the news to him and waited. He was quiet for a moment, thinking things through. He had already mentally prepared himself for this moment, so it was no big surprise, but he did have something to say.
“Rin… Corinne, I just have one question for you and I guess I already know the answer, but I still want to ask it.”
“What is it?”
“Why is it that you’re willing to put up with all the celebrity bull-shit with Nick and yet you’re not with me?” Corinne felt Kevin’s eyes burning through her soul and she swallowed hard. What the hell could she say to that? She knew the answer would just hurt him.
“Oh, Kevin… I…”
But Kevin held up his hand. “You don’t have to answer that. I already know the answer. It’s because you love Nick and you don’t love me. It’s so funny how you’re willing to put up with things when you’re in love, isn’t it? Well, anyway, I wish you guys well.”
Corinne stood there in shock. He verbalized the words she was unwilling to say… and yet it was almost worse to hear him say them and in such a sorrowful manner. Her heart was breaking for him. It wasn’t that she didn’t love him; she did and always would, but she loved Nick differently and her life with him made more sense to her right now because she had changed. She was a different person than she had been when she first got together with Kevin. But to try to make him understand all that would just be cruel and unusual punishment when the end result was the same, so it was time to say goodbye.
“Thanks. I appreciate it. I will always… care about you. I’m sure I’ll see you again one of these days. I wish you all the things that you desire in life.”
He just nodded. Corinne knew it was time to go, so she gave him a kiss on the cheek and said, “Goodbye.” And left. That was it. That was six days ago and she had not heard from him since.
As difficult it was for her to leave Kevin, she decided there was “no turning back” and went full force into the whirlwind romance with Nick. And whirlwind it was. They spent time together whenever they could; before work, during lunch, after work and the weekend so far had been glorious. Spending all day in bed on Saturday; making love, eating, watching lots of movies, giggling and making love again. Corinne felt like she was 18 instead of 34. It was like she was with her first boyfriend, Rob Baylor all over again. He was her “first”, stealing her virginity on a downtown Pasadena sidewalk in the middle of the night while they waited for the Rose Parade to start the next morning. The friends they came with were busy either talking, sleeping, making out or walking around and other parade “waiters” were all doing the same; they paid no mind to the two teenagers wrapped in blankets “doing it” on the frickin’ hard cement. Rob had worked on Corinne for a good hour beforehand, priming her by “feeling her up” over her clothing, then sneaking in underneath her sweater for a good feel; massaging her breasts, snaking a finger into her vagina; smiling when he heard her groaning her appreciation. Corinne was trying hard to resist; hoping to remain a virgin at least until graduation, but here he was groping her on December 31 and she was losing her resolve. What sent her over the edge though was when he turned her over and started massaging her back; she always loved when guys did that and it melted away the last of her resistance.
“Okay, Rob, if we’re going to do this, I’m going to need some pillows. This sidewalk is hard!” She told him.
“That’s not all that’s hard!” she heard Rob saying, snickering, but he complied and grabbed some nearby pillows that they had brought. Corinne put them underneath her, sighing with relief and she tried to nonchalantly remove her pants and then her panties without making it obvious. She kicked them off in a corner of the blanket and she could feel Rob rummaging around, trying to pull his jeans and underwear off at the same. It must have looked comical if anyone cared to look, but he finally succeeded in getting naked and he wasted no time is inserting his cock into her.
“That’s the wrong hole!” Corinne hissed. There was no way she was getting fucked in the ass; at least not without substantial lubrication. Her friend, Laurie had a guy screw her that way and she said it hurt like hell for a few days afterward.
“Okay, okay. Help me, then.” Rob said and Corinne raised her knees up underneath her and reached around to grab his hard organ. Wow, that’s big! She remembered thinking. Oh, my, God, that’s going to hurt! She winced, but still guided his dick to the right hole. Rob wasted no time in inserting it; seemingly forgetting that she was a virgin and to take it easy. No, he was a hormone-crazed teenager intent on only one thing; getting off.
“Ow! Slow down!” She whispered.
“Oh, sorry!” He breathed and tried to take it easy, but it still hurt either way. Corinne was biting her lip to keep from crying out in pain and kept thinking, it will get better; it will get better. However, Rob didn’t give her enough time to find that out because a couple more thrusts and he shot his load right inside her, groaning and lying spent on her back. Oh, wasn’t that a thrill! Corinne thought. Shit! I’m bleeding! How am I going to hide that? She could feel liquid coming out her and she realized that it was probably a combination of blood and semen. Great, just great! How was she going to hide that stain? She thought.
Eventually he rolled off her and they scrambled to put their clothing back on. Thankfully, none of their friends figured anything out and neither of them “fessed up”. Rob, stuffed the blood/semen-stained pillow in his backpack so no one saw the evidence of their tryst. Corinne was so thankful that he was so cool about everything. He was very concerned about her feelings, too. He apologized profusely for coming so quickly and promised to show her how good it could be when they were alone sometime. Rob had lost his virginity the year before to an older woman who had taught him the ways of lovemaking, so he was eager to show Corinne later. And the second time for Corinne was much better, in fact, she actually came the third time and it just got better and better every time after that. Rob had introduced her to the world of sex and after that, she never wanted to stop having it.
Corinne shared that little tidbit of her past with Nick and he found it all very amusing.
“Well, no wonder you’re so damn good at sex.” He had teased her.
“Well, I guess I don’t need to ask you about your first. I think the world knows about that.” Corinne teased him back. Debbie LaFave had been in the news recently after molesting one of her 14-year-old male students and Nick had confessed she had been his first when he was 15 and she was 14.
“Yeah, well, you don’t know everything about me.” Nick leaned up on his elbow to smile at her.
“Well, I’d like to. But right now I just want to know how hard you are…” She said, snaking her hand down to his crotch, grasping his penis eagerly. To her delight, he was hard and she smiled.
“For you, baby, always.” He grinned and swooped down for a kiss.
On Sunday, they decided to go out hang out at the beach all day. After sleeping in and eating a late breakfast, it felt good just to lie in the sun together, soaking in the rays. Suddenly, Corinne’s cell phone rang.
“Hello?”
“Mom! Hi!”
“Oh my God, when?”
Corinne listened for a little while and Nick looked at her curiously.
“She’s there already? Wow. Okay, we’ll be there in a few minutes!”
“What’s up?”
“My sister, Megan went into labor two hours ago. I guess her water just broke so her contractions are pretty close together and I promised I’d be there, so…”
“Let’s go!” Nick said. So, they packed up and headed over the Good Samaritan Hospital.
“Thanks for taking me, Nick, I really appreciate it. You can just drop me off if you want.” Corinne said on the drive there.
But Nick shook his head. “No, baby, I’m with you all the way. I would like to meet your family, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon.” He said, nervously. Suddenly, the words from his song, “I Just Wanna Take You Home” came to mind:
"Don't you hate it when you sweat
And it makes you go real numb
Then you get that feeling of regret
And it makes you wanna run
But then I am playing nice
Meeting your parents..."
