   Chapter 36
   ==========
   Most of the wedding party ended up at our house for breakfast on Sunday.
Mom out did herself with the food.  Abby and Will came too, before they
headed to the airport for their honeymoon.  Mom and Dad's wedding gift to
them was five days in the Virgin Islands.  They planned to spend time
soaking up the sun on the beach, snorkeling and scuba.  Of course all of
that would come after they spent some quality time together in bed.
   Before they left for the airport Will teased Mom, "Who knows, maybe
we'll see about making a third grandchild for you 'Granny'."
   Abby grinned and added, "Yes Mrs.  Martin.  We want to have a large
family."
   Mom smiled at their joke.  She responded, "Let me make a few things
clear.  You don't need to rush to have kids just for me.  Two is more than
enough grandchildren for now.  Second, no one - and I mean no one - calls
me Granny.  I will answer to Mom-Mom, Gram or Grammy.  I will NEVER be
GRANNY!  Lastly, Abby you are family now.  Please call me Sharon."
   Abby answered, "That's a deal Sharon.  I'll keep taking the pill for
awhile."
   Mom hugged Abby and then Will as they headed out the door.  Every one
went outside to wave good bye to Will and Abby when they left.  Andy and I
had snuck out during breakfast to "decorate" Will's car with streamers, a
'Just Married' sign and two strings of cans tied to the back bumper.  Will
and Abby laughed at the sign and removed the streamers.  They didn't see
the cans.  We waved as the cans rattled when they pulled away.  Will drove
to the end of the block before he stopped and removed the cans.  He gave us
a wave before he hopped back in the car.  I assumed the sign stayed on the
car until they got to the airport.
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   The twins woke me at 6 am on Monday morning.  It was too early to get up
and too close to time to get up for school to go back to sleep.  I just lay
on my bed thinking.  I had 3 hours and 32 minutes left in my high school
career.
   I would be free!  Free of the pain in the neck teachers.  Free from the
school principals.  No more study halls.  I would be eighteen in a few
weeks.  No more curfew.  No more junior license.  The world was filled with
opportunities for me.
   I grabbed a shower and shave a few minutes earlier than usual so I
wouldn't have to wait for Andy or Liz to finish in the bathroom.  I had a
leisurely breakfast while I waited for Liz and Andy.  Penny met us at my
car and we headed off to school.
   I teased Andy and Liz on the way to school.  "You realize that the two
of you are back to taking the bus from here on.  No more rides in my Golf
to and from school." I smiled evilly when the groaned in response.
   I had three classes left.  First period was Graphic Arts.  Mr. 
Henderson went over our final projects and gave us half a period to talk.
Frau Madel did a proper deutsche Unterricht for second period.  She talked
with each of us individually before the period was over.
   Frau Madel told me, "Viel Glück Herr Martin an der Penn State.  Ich
hoffe, daß sie viel Erfolg im Football haben werden." [Good Luck Mr. 
Martin.  I hope you excel playing football at Penn State.] I wished Frau
Madel good luck when I left (auf deutsch of course).
   Third period was my favorite class of the year - History of World War
II. We ended up debating the British-American strategy to end the war in
Europe in 1944-5.  Should we have followed Patton's plan for a southern
thrust into Germany, Montgomery's idea of a northern thrust through the
Ruhr and on to Berlin or Eisenhower's broad front strategy?  We debated the
question most of the period.  Mr.  Adams was my favorite teacher from my
four years in high school.  I was going to miss him.
   I watched the clock tick off the minutes to 11:32 while we debated.  The
buzzer finally rang when the hands reached the appointed time for the end
of third period.  Mr.  Adams announced, "Good luck to all you seniors. 
I'll see the rest of you tomorrow." That elicited the expected groan from
the sophomores and juniors.
   Mr.  Adams asked as I was walking out, "Kyle, are you still planning to
become a teacher?"
   Mr.  Adams and I had a few talks this year about my career plans.  "Yes,
I'm going to get a degree in education at Penn State.  I plan to teach and
coach football after I finish college."
   "Good luck son.  I think you'll make a fine teacher."
   I headed downstairs to empty my locker.  I carried my things out to my
car and deposited them in my trunk.  Penny met me.  She put her things in
the back seat.  The parking lot was full of seniors.  All of us were ready
to leave but didn't want to let go of our time together.  One of the guys
suggested we all go hang out at the park.  Sixty or seventy kids all left
together, horns blaring to announce our joy at departing and drove down to
the Paradise Township Park.
   We spent the afternoon together enjoying our friend's company one more
time.  In the past thirteen years we had become quite close.  We wouldn't
ever be together like this again after graduation tomorrow night.  The
crowd of friends finally started to thin late in the afternoon.
   I managed to sleep late Tuesday morning.  Noah and Connor were fairly
quiet.  I did hear Andy and Liz leave for school.  It felt glorious to be
free.  Well, mostly free.  I had to go back to school after lunch for
graduation practice.
   The principal went over in excruciating detail everything that would
happen that evening.  It took him an hour to go over all of it.  My friends
and classmates got restless by the end of the rehearsal.  Norman Henderson,
one of the stoners in our class, decided he needed a cigarette just as we
were finishing.  He popped it in his mouth, lit up and took a long drag
before any of the faculty realized what was going on.  The principal
dismissed us quickly so he could have a serious talk with Norman.  Norman
didn't give a damn, so he kept on smoking.
   It was a stupid thing to do.  I wondered what became of him when my
friends and I left.  Would they let him graduate?  Who knew?
   Ed, Jeremy and I headed for the locker room.  We had one last passing
drill to run before we were finished.  Coach Caffrey joined us part way
through the drill.  He stayed with us and watched as our guys went through
their paces.  They looked good to me.
   When the kids went back inside to change at the end of practice, Coach
Caffrey said, "I'm so proud of all of you.  Jeremy, you set the tone on
defense.  You made everything work.  I'm going to miss you." He shook
Jeremy's hand.
   "Thanks Coach.  I appreciated everything you did for me in the last
three years." Jeremy answered.
   Coach continued, "Kyle - you were the catalyst on offense.  Your speed
and later your knowledge of football made our team an offensive powerhouse
for the past four years.  I don't know how we'll replace you."
   I replied, "Thanks Coach.  Andy will do fine next season filling my
spot. We've already seen that.  Thanks for all your time and effort
teaching me football.  I owe my scholarship to you."
   Coach turned to Ed.  "Ed - your leadership and drive made our offense
the potent force it was.  You played better over your three years than any
quarterback I've ever coached.  That includes the Hayes brothers.  You ran
the spread offense just like they book says.  Hell, they could take clips
of film of you and put it in the damn book.  Thank you son."
   "I loved every minute of learning from you coach.  I'm going down to
Florida and make you proud."
   "I know you will.  All of you will make me proud this fall.  I'm glad
Notre Dame, Penn State and University of Florida play so many games on TV.
I will be watching you, I guarantee it."
   We all shook hands and departed.  We were no longer Wolverines.  I
gathered up Andy and headed for home.
   My classmates and I wondered why we needed to dress up in a dress shirt
and tie for graduation.  Everything was covered under our graduation robes.
Some of us said we should show up in shorts and T-shirts.  No one would be
the wiser.  Mom insisted I dress up.  I did.
   The graduation ceremony took longer than I expected.  Evelyn Andrews
talked on and on when she gave her speech.  I was glad she made
valedictorian and not me.  I wouldn't have wanted to speak to this group.
Finally it was time for the handing out the degrees.  The guys, all dressed
in red caps and gowns lined up on the left side of the auditorium.  The
girls, dressed in white, lined up on the right.  The superintendent of our
school district read off our 219 names one by one.
   I day dreamed as he called graduates forward.  I started paying
attention when I heard names from my home room called.  "Julie Ann Martin"
Julie sat two seats in front of me in home room.
   "Justin Hershey Martin" Yes, he was one of those Hersheys.  His great
grandfather was Milton Hershey's cousin.  It shouldn't be surprising -
after all, Milton Hershey had a chocolate store in Lancaster before he
built the town of Hershey.  Justin walked across the stage to receive his
diploma.
   "Kyle David Martin" I strode across the stage confidently and accepted
my diploma from Dr.  Hollinger.  We shook hands and I walked to the
opposite end of the stage and down.  I headed to my seat as I heard
"Matthew Dean Martin" called.
   I was finished with the public education system.  I wouldn't ever need
to set foot in this school again, unless I wanted to.  I had some excellent
teachers when I was here.  I had some bad ones too.  For better or worse, I
was moving on to bigger things.  I hoped I was ready for them.
   I sought out Penny when everything was over.  I asked, "What do you want
to do tomorrow?"
   "I'd like to spend a quiet afternoon with you in your bedroom." My cock
stirred at the idea.  "What I'm going to do is go to work.  Doctor Chu
needs me to start tomorrow.  The receptionist has the day off."
   "How about tomorrow night?  Can we get together then?"
   "Of course." Penny replied.
   The Fritzes, the Brookes, the Longs, the Norths, and the Trimbles joined
my family and Penny's family.  We talked about our plans for the graduation
party on Saturday afternoon.  Our seven families, along with the Hendricks,
were throwing a monster sized bash at the township park to celebrate our
high school graduation along with Will, Abby, Nikki and Adrian's graduation
from college.  Nikki and Adrian broke the news of their engagement the day
after Will and Abby's wedding.  Penny's parents were delighted to welcome
Adrian into their family.
   Our parents reviewed the assignments for every family for the party.  My
family was responsible for the coordinating with the barbeque caterer and
bringing salads.  We were going to roast three whole pigs along with 150
pounds of chicken.
   The rest of my week was glorious.  I managed to get extra sleep in the
morning after Andy took Noah and Conner downstairs at breakfast time.  I
got up late in the morning, had some lunch and then worked on preparations
for scout camp and for college.
   When I got back next Friday night from the week at the beach with my
friends, I would have one day to get ready for six weeks at scout camp. 
After six weeks at camp, I would come home on Thursday evening, July 30th
to get ready for college.  I was due to report to Penn State before lunch
on Saturday August 1st.  Team practice would start on the 3rd.  It would be
a huge help to get most of the packing and preparations done before I went
to scout camp.
   Penny and I enjoyed evenings together.  We didn't do anything big, just
spent the evenings together - watched TV together, went out for ice cream,
that sort of comfortable evening activity.
   Ed, Jeremy and I agreed we wouldn't attend the final passing drill on
Thursday afternoon.  We wanted Jake Kring, Kenny Weaver and Brett Fulmer to
be responsible for running the drills.  I couldn't resist stopping by the
school to see how things went.  I planned to slip into the parking lot and
watch from a distance.  Ed and Jeremy had the same idea.  We watched
practice together.  Jake kept practice moving.  Kenny and Brett handled the
defense confidently.  Andy and Tex helped the team leaders set the proper
tone.  Ed, Jeremy and I left before practice was finished and we were
discovered.  All of us were confident we had left "our" team in good hands.
   My group of friends and I got incredibly lucky for senior week at the
beach.  Brandon McCafferty's uncle owned a beach house in Ocean City, New
Jersey.  He was willing to let us use it without charge for a week.  We
agreed that Hal, Brandon and I would drive the group down to the shore.
   Thursday after dinner I asked Dad, "Can I get my allowance now?"
   Dad answered, "Can you give me about fifteen minutes Kyle?  I have a
couple things to get ready.  See me in my study."
   "Sure." I said.  Get ready?  Usually Dad just pulled a twenty out of his
wallet and handed it to me.
   Fifteen minutes later I knocked at the door to Dad's office.  "Come in
Kyle." Dad answered.  I stood expectantly in front of his desk.  I waited
about fifteen seconds before Dad said, "Have a seat Kyle."
   I sat down beside his desk.  This certainly wasn't what I expected.
   "You have graduated from high school and will turn eighteen in a few
weeks.  Effectively you are an adult now.  It isn't appropriate for you to
continue receiving an allowance." My face fell.  Dad stared into my eyes.
He smiled.  "Relax.  I'm not going to cut you off cold.  I know how little
they pay you for working at scout camp.  We're going to work out new
arrangements for you."
   "What did you have in mind Dad?"
   "I'll make sure you have a reasonable amount of spending money.  In the
future it will be in the form of a loan.  I don't expect you to repay it
right away.  I will keep a running tab of your loan while you are in
college.  You can repay me when you get a job after you graduate from
college.  How does this sound?"
   "OK, I guess." I answered.
   Dad reached into his drawer and handed me a plastic card.  It was a Visa
card with my name on it.  "I have a credit card for you to use for
emergencies in the future.  It is in both our names.  The bills will come
here."
   "And you'll put it on my tab?" I asked.
   "Exactly.  It's time for you to take more responsibility for yourself.
That's what it means to become a man.  Do you have any questions?"
   "I think I understand what you expect.  I do have a question.  Can I get
a hundred dollars for senior week?  I don't have much cash left."
   Dad pulled out his wallet and offered me a twenty dollar bill.  "This
should keep you going for a couple days.  I suspect you'll have plenty of
money after the graduation party on Saturday." Dad said.  I saw Dad make a
note on a tablet as I left.  I was officially in debt.
   Will and Abby returned from their honeymoon late Friday evening.  Both
were deeply tanned, rested and relaxed.  For the next week Will and Abby
were going to spend their nights at Abby's house since a married couple
couldn't share one bunk in a bunk bed with me in the bunk above them.  They
promised to come over for breakfast on Saturday morning and tell everyone
about their vacation.
   Will and Abby entertained us with stories from their trip to the Virgin
Islands over breakfast on Saturday.  We teased them that they probably
didn't see anything more than the inside of their hotel room.  They assured
us that they actually got out of their room for fifteen or twenty minutes a
day.  Will and Abby enjoyed holding and playing with Connor and Noah while
we talked.
   Mom put all of us to work after breakfast.  We chopped veggies, tore
lettuce, browned hamburger and mixed ingredients as Mom directed.  When we
were done an hour later we had a seafood broccoli salad, a taco salad,
carrot and raisin salad and enough veggies to make an excellent salad bar
for the party.
   Mom decided it would be all right for Noah and Connor to come to the
party.  She and Liz dressed them in cute sailor suits.  They carried the
boys out to her Caravan while the rest of us brought assorted bowls and
containers of salads for the afternoon.  We loaded up and headed over to
the park in four cars.
   The Fritzes, the Longs and the Hendricks were already there when we
arrived.  The barbeque caterer was set up beside the pavilion.  Dad said he
had been there with his huge smoker trailer since 3 am.  We set our salads
on a couple tables on the west end of the pavilion.
   The other families arrived soon after us.  We ended up with macaroni &
cheese, baked beans, stuffed mushrooms, potato salad, macaroni salad,
chow-chow, vegetable tray with dip, fruit tray with dip, and assorted pies,
cakes and cookies.  The smell of the roast pigs filled the air with a
pungent sweetness.  Our guests were going to have a feast.
   I had proudly worn my Penn State jersey to the party.  Ed and Jeremy had
the same idea.  Ed wore his Florida jersey.  Jeremy had on his Notre Dame
jersey.  We all hung out with our girlfriends greeting our friends and
relatives as they arrived.  Paige made it to be with Ed.  Ed was enjoying
being a part of a couple again.
   Noah and Connor were the hit of the party.  Everyone had to come over
and fuss over them.  Andy proudly showed off his sons.
   Each family's relatives congregated together.  Penny and I moved from
table to table visiting with my relatives, her relatives and our friends.
   The whole Baer clan showed up for the party.  Justin and Sherry brought
their sons Billy and Wesley.  Joe and Barb brought Betty and Jeffrey.  Mr.
and Mrs.  Baer hung out with my parents.  Jon and Amy Miller came too with
Brian.  The seven year olds, Billy, Brian, and Betty, zoomed wildly around
at the park, checking out everything.  They were closely followed by five
year old Jeffrey, who desperately wanted to be included with anything they
did.
   Thirteen month old Wesley had just learned to walk.  He toddled from
parent to parent to grandparent to anyone else.  He exercised his three
word vocabulary saying "Da-Da", "Mama" and "cookie" constantly.  Wesley
attracted almost as many oohs and aaahs as Noah and Connor.
   Will and Abby hung out with friends from their earlier trips to
Algonquin.  Rob Stevens and his fiancé Cindy, the two Baer couples, the
Millers, Jason Sauder, Katie Landis and her boyfriend, and Zack Hayes all
traded remembrances of their time together in Canada.  Alex Weaver joined
their group a little later.
   The caterer did a fabulous job with the barbequed pigs.  The sandwiches
were excellent.  The rest of the food our families made was good too.  No
one went away from the party hungry.
   Our parents called all the graduates over after an hour so we could cut
the cake.  Actually it was cakes.  We had a red velvet cake, a yellow cake,
Boston cream pie and a marble cake.  Penny and I enjoyed our favorite, the
Boston cream pie.
   My friends and I challenged Will's friends to volleyball when the
dessert was done.  We taunted them for being "old farts", just like we had
done four years ago on our first trip to Algonquin.  They teased us for
being wet behind the ears, smart aleck kids.  We "kids" dominated the first
game, winning 21-13.  The "old farts" pulled out a close second game,
22-20. We won the final game going away, 21-10.
   My friends shook hands with the "old farts" when the game was done. 
Most of Will's team headed off for more food.  Alex Weaver and Zack Hayes
hung out with us.  Alex looked around and said, "Gee, almost all of my old
Algonquin crew is here today.  Everyone except Steffany.  Is she here
somewhere?"
   Ed answered, "No.  Stef and I dated for awhile after that trip.  We had
a bad break up.  She doesn't hang with our group anymore."
   I looked at Alex and asked, "I didn't know you and Zack knew each
other."
   Alex said, "Sure, Zack and I go way back."
   Zack added, "We were in Boy Scouts together.  We joined Venturers
together.  We've been friends for years."
   Alex said, "You remember our first trip to Algonquin six years ago?"
   Zack answered, "Remember it?  That trip changed my life.  I found out I
could how hard I could work on that trip.  That 3 ½ mile portage from
Dickson to Opeongo showed me just how tough I could be."
   Penny said, "Dickson to Opeongo?  We did that portage two years ago."
   Zack continued, "That trip to Algonquin made a man out of me - in so
many ways."
   Alex chuckled.  "I guess.  Especially that last night.  Will's
demonstration of how to go down on your girlfriend was memorable."
   I interrupted, "My brother demonstrated that?"
   Alex answered, "Yes.  Rob Stevens and I bugged him the whole trip to
teach us how to do that for our girlfriends.  He finally taught us how to
do it at the outfitters the last night."
   Zack smiled a bit.  "That was the night Beth and I lost our cherries."
He sighed.  "It really made a man out of me." Zack lightly punched Alex on
the shoulder.  "No thanks to you.  Beth is ready to surrender her virginity
to me and this turkey wouldn't share a rubber."
   Alex protested, "Hey.  Terri and I had only been doing it for a few
days. That bag of condoms represented a lot of future sex to me."
   "Will had to practically order Alex to give me one of them."
   Penny asked, "Let me get this straight.  Alex was in your tent when you
had sex the first time?"
   Alex laughed.  Zack said, "Um... It was the cabins at the outfitters. 
The whole group was in the same cabin.  Will and Abby had just finished
doing it.  I think Rob and Cindy were still going.  Alex and Terri were in
the bunk below Beth and me screwing away when Beth said she was ready to
fuck."
   Ed said, "That whole thing sounds pretty wild - group sex in one of
those small cabins."
   Zack answered, "It wasn't group sex exactly.  We didn't swap the girls
around or anything."
   Alex added, "There was a lot of closeness that trip.  Terri and I lost
our virginities in a tent we shared with Will and Abby.  They were asleep
inches away from us the first time we made love."
   Zack asked, "Do you still go with Terri?  I remember the two of you were
an item all through high school, even after she moved away."
   Alex answered, "No.  Long distance relationships suck.  We managed to
stay a couple for the year we were separated.  We both attend the
University of Maryland.  We stayed together for awhile in college.  The two
of us had changed too much the year we were apart in high school.  We ended
up agreeing it was best if we broke up."
   Zack said, "I'm sorry to hear that.  You and Terri were good together.
Have you been with anyone else since then?"
   "I've had a couple girlfriends, but nobody serious.  How about you
Zack?"
   Zack chuckled.  "I'm in a committed relationship - Coach Burton, the
film projector and me.  We're inseparable." Everyone laughed at his joke.
Zack got a serious look and stared at Tammy and Kathy.  "I understand the
two of you are going to college with your boyfriends.  I hope you
understand just how much time they will have to put into football.  You
aren't going to see much of them."
   Kathy said hopefully, "Not during the season - I know."
   Zack answered, "We're talking Division I-A for all of you guys.  You
don't have an off season.  You have a time of the year where you play
games. The rest of the year you prepare to play games." Zack turned and
looked at Penny.  "You're the smart one.  Break things off clean and go
somewhere else for college.  Kyle isn't going to have any time for you this
fall."
   I saw Penny's face display her dismay.  I spoke up.  "We aren't breaking
up Zack.  She is going to continue to be my girlfriend."
   "Mmmm." Zack looked at me skeptically.  "Sorry, my bad."
   "We love each other.  We'll make it work." I said emphatically.  I
wished I was as sure as I tried to sound.  I gave Penny a kiss.  I
whispered in her ear.  "We'll make it work - some how." She returned my
kiss and hugged me.
   Zack turned to Ed and asked, "Before I put my foot in my mouth again,
are you and ... uh..."
   Ed said, "Paige - Paige McGowan."
   "... trying to stay a couple during college?"
   Ed said simply, "No."
   Paige always had a flair for the dramatic.  She held up her hand. 
"Everyone.  I have an announcement to make." We all paused.  Paige grinned.
"I want to announce that Ed and I are breaking up tonight.  Right after a
good bye romp in bed - right Pookie?"
   Ed sighed.  "Right." He gave her a kiss.  "I wish you would come with us
to the shore tomorrow."
   "I know.  I wish I could too.  My girlfriends and I spent too much money
on a beach house in Rehobath for next week.  I can't ditch them."
   Zack said, "I see you're going to arrive at Gainesville free as a bird.
Coach Meyers will appreciate that." Zack scanned the faces in our group. 
"All of you guys are playing Division I-A ball.  You're going to have to
work your tails off to be successful." Zack stared into my eyes. 
"Especially you Kyle.  I'm counting on you again like I did back in high
school.  You better come through for me."
   I gulped.  I knew Zack meant exactly what he said.  I better not let him
down.
   Zack and Alex said their good byes and headed off for the food pavilion.
The other couples scattered, meeting and greeting more friends and family.
   Heather Miller agreed to help Andy take the twins home when it was their
nap time.  She was going to bring our family van back to the picnic after
Andy got the boys settled.  The party was starting to wind down when she
finally got back a couple hours later - around 5 pm.
   My friends and I helped our parents get the party cleaned up when the
guests finally left.  We packed all the leftovers in the cars and headed
home.  Dad presented me with the box all my friends and relatives had put
their graduation cards and gifts in.  It was nearly overflowing.  Penny
rode home with me.
   When we got to my house I asked Penny, "Do you want to do anything
together tonight?"
   "No silly.  I need to pack for tomorrow.  I'll see you at 9 o'clock."
   We kissed before we parted.  I pushed my tongue in her mouth.  She met
it with hers.  The kiss quickly escalated beyond what I planned.  I dropped
a hand down and gently squeezed her left breasts and flicked my thumb
across it.
   Penny suddenly broke away.  "We need to keep that for tomorrow Kyle."
She got out of the car.  "I have to pack tonight." She blew me a kiss. 
"Keep that thought, that very dirty thought in your mind.  We can act on it
tomorrow night."
   I called, "I love you." as she walked away.
   "I love you too sweetie."
   I popped my heads in Andy's room when I went upstairs.  He was getting
ready to give the boys a bath.  I asked, "You and Heather?  Did you?  The
two of you were alone here for a long time this afternoon."
   "Did we what?"
   "You know....  end up in bed?"
   "No!" Andy sighed.  "She is willing to be friends again but that's all.
I've learned to accept that.  We spent the whole time in the kitchen
talking after Noah and Connor went to sleep."
   "The two of you make a nice couple." I said.
   "It isn't going to happen Kyle." Andy insisted.  "She says we are too
combustible."
   I felt bad for Andy.  Andy wanted to be with Heather more than any of
his other girlfriends.  I wished there would be a way I could help him but
there wasn't.  Hopefully someday he could find someone as good as Heather
for him.
   I finally had time to look through the graduation cards a presents.  My
haul from the afternoon was astounding.  My friends and relatives had given
me close to $650 in gifts!  That was going to help immensely next week when
we went down to the shore.
   -----------------------------------------------------------
   My friends and I were very lucky.  Brandon's uncle owned McCafferty
Construction, one of the biggest firms in Lancaster County.  His uncle
loaned us his vacation house in Ocean City New Jersey for a week at no
charge.  I doubt we could have spent Senior Week at the shore otherwise. 
Renting space down there was too expensive for me or my friends.
   We met in front of my house Sunday morning at 9 o'clock to head for the
shore.  Penny rode with me.  Ed rode with Brandon.  Hal drove Tammy, Jeremy
and Kathy.  Hal and I followed Brandon's black Accura to Gap and then south
on Route 41.  The traffic wasn't bad.  Few people were heading for the
beach on a Sunday morning.  Traffic picked up a little after we crossed the
Delaware River in Chester.  We passed a lot more people heading home as we
drove further southeast into Jersey.
   All of us stopped for lunch at a small restaurant on the way.  We
finally reached Ocean City around noon.  Hal and I followed Brandon through
town, street after street until we found 23rd Street.  I followed Brandon
around the corner when we got to Haven Avenue and pulled in the concrete
driveway behind him.  Hal pulled up to the curb in front of the house.
   The house was a huge two and a half story wood sided house painted light
gray.  The garage doors on the left were framed with columns.  The entryway
door was in the center with a bank of three windows on the right.  There
was a small balcony above the garage on the second floor.  Brandon told us
the house had four bedrooms and three baths.  It was located only a few
blocks form the ocean.  It must have cost his uncle a small fortune. 
Brandon confirmed that.  His uncle paid $3.2 million for the place two
years ago.
   Everyone followed Brandon up the steps to the front door carrying our
suitcases.  Brandon unlocked the door and swung it open.  We stepped inside
and marveled at the ground floor.  The living room opened to the right.  It
had big overstuffed beige chairs and two matching couches.  A dining room
table separated the living room space from the kitchen.  The kitchen
featured a wrap around island.  The family room was to the right from the
kitchen.  It had a full entertainment center and a fireplace.
   We set our stuff down on the polished hardwood floor and stared at our
home for the next week.  We certainly weren't going to be roughing it on
this trip!  Brandon announced, "I guess Ed and I should take the back
bedroom upstairs.  It's for my cousins.  It has two single beds.  We can
draw names out of a hat for the other three.  Is that OK?"
   We all agreed.  We went upstairs and quickly checked each bedroom out.
Brandon drew names from a hat.  Penny and I got lucky.  Our names came up
first.  We chose the master bedroom.  It had a bowed back wall lined with
windows.  The windows looked towards the sea a few blocks to our east.  It
was painted plum with a white ceiling.  Penny and I even had own bathroom
with a large two person shower.
   Hal and Tammy ended up with the front bedroom with the balcony.  Jeremy
and Kathy took the other front bedroom.  Their room was done in green.  It
was smaller than mine or Hal's but it still beat any tent we ever slept in
on our camping trips.  Ed and Brandon's room was painted in blue.  It had a
skylight to light the room better.
   We carried our things upstairs and then scattered to take care of our
appointed tasks.  Our group was used for working together on trips.  Each
couple took an assignment.  Penny and I were responsible for buying food.
Hal and Tammy were going down to the boardwalk to get our beach passes and
information about the town.  Jeremy and Kathy were going to find the local
beverage distributor for sodas.  Ed was responsible for getting ice to fill
our coolers.  Brandon was going to get the air conditioning, water heater,
electricity, and gas turned on in the house.
   Penny and I returned an hour later with a large supply of groceries.  We
were unloading our purchases when Ed returned.  Jeremy came out to help him
carry in the ice.  Three 10 pound bags went in first.  Penny and I were
putting the food away when they started carrying in the beer.
   Jeremy and Ed each carried in two cases.  I looked at them and asked,
"Do you guys think you brought enough?"
   Ed replied, "Don't worry.  There is more in the car."
   Penny and I smiled at each other.  Ed and Jeremy did like their beer. 
They carried four more cases into the house.
   I exclaimed, "Jesus Christ!  Do you think you brought enough?"
   Ed looked at me a little funny.  "What's wrong?  I have two more cases
to bring in.  Don't you think it will be enough?"
   I asked incredulously, "You brought ten cases of beer?"
   "I didn't want to run out."
   I replied, "Ten cases are enough for a case a person.  If you add up
every beer I ever drank, I doubt it comes to a whole case."
   Jeremy said, "We don't want to run out Kyle.  After all it's Senior Week
and we don't know anyone old enough to buy us more beer if we run out."
   I asked, "Who picked this up for you?"
   Kathy explained, "That would be my wild and crazy older sister." Kathy's
older sister Jenny was noted for her abilities at partying.  She once had
been Will's girlfriend when she was in eighth grade.  Later she was a close
friend and frequent bed partner of Zack Hayes.  I could see her going to
the beer distributor back home and buying ten cases of beer.  This week was
going to be wild and crazy.
   Penny and I took the first turn at cooking.  We made the group spaghetti
for dinner.  We hung out in the family room, talking and drinking beer that
evening.  It was a very mellow way to start our vacation.  Penny and I
retired to our master bedroom around ten o'clock.  We took full advantage
of our privacy to make passionate love that evening.
   We settled into a comfortable routine quickly.  We slept until 10 or 11
each morning.  Each couple made their own breakfast.  The group would head
to the beach to swim, tan, read and play volleyball.
   Ed and Brandon prowled the beach in search of female companionship.  Ed
ended up inviting a really cute girl named Shelby home for dinner on Monday
evening.  The eleven of us headed for the boardwalk after dinner.  We rode
the amusement rides and ate too much junk food in the evening.  Our gang
headed back to the house around ten o'clock.  Shelby came along with Ed. 
All of us ended up having a few beers and then heading to our rooms for
some bedtime fun.  Brandon offered to sleep on the couch so Ed and Shelby
could have some privacy.  Shelby demurred.
   I enjoyed being able to sleep late in the morning without the Noah's and
Connor's late night and early morning crying.  My only early morning
disturbance was when Penny got horny and couldn't wait to get laid until we
got up and showered together.
   Ed was sitting on the couch downstairs when Penny and I came down after
our long shower and lovemaking session.  I asked, "Did Shelby stay the
night?"
   "No.  Shelby and I made out a little last night.  She's got a great set
of knockers on her.  We had some fun but she didn't want to go all the way
until she got to know me better."
   Penny said, "You can be a bit of a pig sometimes."
   Ed answered, "What?  Shelby and I know what we're doing.  This is just a
beach fling.  She didn't do anything last night that she didn't want to do.
I didn't force her to do anything either.  All we want is some old
fashioned dirty fun together."
   Penny just shook her head at Ed's explanation.  We made our breakfast.
   Tuesday brought more of the same.  Swimming at the beach, boogie
boarding, relaxing in the sun, volleyball and goofing around with our
friends occupied our day.  Brandon managed to hook up with a well built
young lady named Rose.  Shelby decided to spend the night with Ed that
evening.  Brandon disappeared with Rose around ten o'clock.
   Shelby came downstairs the next morning while Penny and I were eating
breakfast.  I asked, "Where's Ed?"
   "He's still in the shower."
   "Would you like something to eat?"
   "Sure.  Do you have any cereal?" Shelby asked.
   "Sure." I answered as I gave her the box.  Penny passed the milk to her.
   "Ed's a nice guy.  I had fun last night." Shelby said.  She paused for a
few seconds.  "The only thing I wonder about is this wild story he told me
last night about playing quarterback for the University of Florida.  That
can't be true, can it?"
   "Absolutely." I answered.  Penny nodded in agreement.  "Ed was recruited
to play for them last fall."
   "That is hard to believe." Shelby said.
   "If you have trouble believing that, this is going to knock your socks
off.  Most of us are going to play Division I-A football.  Jeremy is going
to be a middle linebacker at Notre Dame, Hal is kicking for Rutgers and I
am going to play wide receiver for Penn State."
   "Wow, that's hard to believe." Shelby shook her head.  "I'm going to go
to Rutgers too.  Who did you say was going there?"
   "Hal.  He's in the front bedroom across from us." I answered, motioning
to Penny and myself.
   Brandon finally dragged himself in at noon.  He looked pretty worn out
but very happy.  He headed upstairs to catch some Zzzz's.  The rest of us
headed back to the beach for another day of relaxing.  Shelby took off for
an hour to go back to see her girlfriends and let them know she was OK.
   I was more than a little shocked when I discovered our group had managed
to go through over half of the beer already in the first three nights.  I
had four that night.  They tasted good after a day in the sun at the beach
and boardwalk.  Our group of friends along with Rose and Shelby passed the
evening talking and drinking.  All of us had a nice buzz by the time we
headed to bed.
   Hal and Tammy headed to their bedroom first.  Jeremy and Kathy weren't
far behind.  Ed and Brandon conferred before Brandon took Rose upstairs to
his bedroom.  Penny and I left Ed and Shelby making out in the family room
when we went to bed.
   The house was filled with the sounds of college bound teens doing the
nasty.  Penny and I added to the noise in the house when we gave each other
oral orgasms.  We rattled the bed too when I rode her to another loud
orgasm.  Penny and I had to laugh when we heard Shelby vocalize her ecstasy
when Ed brought her off downstairs.  The house finally quieted down after
midnight.
   I found Shelby draped over Ed on the couch in the family room in the
morning when I finally got up.  I threw a sheet over the two lovers for
modesty's sake.  Penny and I quietly made ourselves some bacon and eggs
while Ed and Shelby slept in the next room.  Brandon and Rose joined us a
few minutes later.  I made more eggs for them.
   Penny and I got to witness the end of one beach romance that morning. 
Rose gave Brandon a big hug and kiss when she finished breakfast.  "I wish
I didn't have to go home Brand." She stared into his eyes.  "I'd love to
spend more time with you sweetie."
   "I'd like that too Rose.  Are you sure you have to go home?" Brandon
asked.
   "I have to be at work tomorrow." Rose said.  Brandon leaned down and
kissed Rose on the lips.
   "Maybe you could play hooky a little longer."
   "I'd love to take a ride on your cock one more time." She kissed Brandon
again.  "I... I can't.  I have a five hour drive home.  I'll... I'll always
remember the past two nights."
   Brandon answered, "I'll remember you too Rose." He gave her a kiss.  She
pulled away before it could go too far.
   "I've got to go." Rose said.
   "I'll walk you back to your townhouse." Brandon offered.
   "No.  I can't go through another good bye." Rose declared.  She headed
for the door.  She paused before she left.  "Good bye Brandon."
   "Bye Rose." he answered.
   Brandon turned back to us.  "Damn, I'm going to miss her.  I didn't
think I could fall for a girl that fast."
   Penny gave him a hug.  "You'll survive." Penny gave Brandon a kiss on
the cheek.  He blushed a little and smiled.
   Hal, Tammy, Jeremy and Kathy joined us a few minutes later.  We had
finished breakfast and headed for the beach before Ed and Shelby woke up.
Ed and Shelby finally joined us at the beach around 2 o'clock in the
afternoon.  Ed and Shelby held each other, stared at each other and
constantly touched each other all afternoon.  I was surprised Ed would fall
for a girl in a summer romance so quickly.  The signs were unmistakable.
   Shelby came back to our house for dinner.  Jeremy grilled some steaks
for us.  We spent a couple hours amusing ourselves on the boardwalk after
dinner.  All of us headed back to the house together to enjoy some liquid
refreshment.
   This was going to be the last night of the trip for Ed and me.  We had
to head back home to pack for scout camp.  We were due to report for duty
at noon on Sunday.  Ed and I were a little melancholy at the end of our
last summer vacation for at least four, maybe more years.  Penny was
disappointed that I was leaving in the morning.  Brandon was missing Rose.
All of us hit the beer pretty good that evening.  The ten to twelve of us
had managed to make a big dent in the ten cases of beer over the course of
the week.  I personally had six that evening.  Penny had four beers.  We
weren't feeling any pain at all when we helped each other stagger upstairs
to our bedroom.
   Penny and I stripped naked and jumped in bed together.  Penny and I
brought each other to mutual orgasm with our tongues and fingers.  We heard
Ed and Shelby in the next room rocking the bed when we recovered from our
first orgasms.
   Penny played with my cock until she got me hard again.  Penny demanded
that I fuck her deep penetration.  I pounded and pumped her for ten
minutes, doing my best to get her off before I came another time.  I
collapsed on her when I came.  Penny rolled me on my side when I was spent.
   I used two fingers and my tongue to bring Penny to another climax.  She
rolled on her back when the rush passed.  "Damn!  I wish I had brought
`Little Kyle' along.  I'm so horny I'm going crazy."
   I crawled over my lover and kissed her.  "I can try again if you want
honey." I kissed her.  Our tongues dueled for a minute or so.  Penny
reached down and manipulated me until I was erect again.  Penny splayed her
legs wide to give me access to her pussy.  I positioned my cock against her
hole.
   Penny pushed against my stomach to stop me when I started to push inside
her tunnel.  I was confused.  Penny stared into my eyes.  "Do you love me
Kyle?"
   "Of course."
   "Do you trust me honey?" Penny asked.
   "Of course I trust you."
   "I... I wondered if....  Um... could we try a threesome Kyle?" Penny
begged.  She implored me with her eyes.
   "Umm... uh....  Who?" I asked.  Could I really share my girlfriend with
a real guy?
   "Uh... I was thinking of Brandon." Penny suggested.
   "Brandon?" I said.  Now I had a face to put with this image of someone
else sticking his cock in my lover.  "Ummm... I..."
   "Please?" Penny begged.  "I'm so horny.  I really want to know what it
feels like to be royally fucked.  Please Kyle?"
   "Brandon" I said quietly.  We had been friends for our entire lives.  We
got to be friends when we were in pre-school.  I trusted him with my life.
But....  Penny was more important than my life.
   "You know you can trust him completely." Penny stared into my soul. 
"This is just a passing thing.  I don't want to try this again.  Just this
once."
   I remembered how Brandon had broken up with Penny two years ago when he
realized that she still loved me.  He'd never do anything to hurt either of
us.  Quietly I asked, "Are you sure?"
   Penny's face brightened.  "I would like to try it once.  Just to find
out what it is like."
   My good sense screamed that this was a bad idea.  My good sense was
drowning in all the alcohol I had consumed that evening.  Penny rubbed my
hard erection against her slot.  Damn!  She was so wet and warm.  I sighed.
"OK.  Do you want to get Brandon?" I asked.
   "Would you ask him for me?" Penny begged.  I pulled a pair of boxers
over my hard shaft.  I padded across the room and down the hall to
Brandon's room.  I could hear Ed and Shelby in there making love.  I headed
downstairs.  Brandon was on the couch in the TV room.  He had his cock in
his hand.  I cleared my throat.  He hurriedly pushed his cock back inside
his boxers.
   I said, "I guess it's kind of hard to get to sleep around here when you
don't have a girl."
   "Yeah.  It's really hard." He grinned at his pun and patted the bulge in
his boxers.
   "I've got something I want to ask you.  I... well... Penny has a
fantasy. She wants to uh....  Have sex with two...."
   Brandon asked, "Two?"
   I hesitated.  What the hell was I doing?  I sighed.  "She would like to
have a threesome with two guys."
   Brandon stared at me, looking slightly shocked.  He raised his eyebrows.
   "She would like you and I to both fuck her." I said.  Brandon turned his
head a little and stared at me.  "You know... at the same time.  A
threesome."
   Brandon stared at me for a few more seconds.  "Are you sure you want to
do this Kyle?"
   NO!  I'M NOT FUCKING SURE!  Why would I want to share my girlfriend with
anyone else?  I sighed.  My lover wanted to try this.  Why not?  I said,
"Both of us trust you.  Penny really would like to fulfill this fantasy she
has about being screwed by two guys at the same time.  Could you help me
with this?"
   Brandon stood up.  "I will if you're sure Kyle." I nodded my head. 
"I've never done this before."
   I motioned for him to follow me.  "I did this once three years ago. 
I'll help you through this." We walked to the bottom of the steps.  I
explained, "I love her Brandon.  I can't fulfill this dream by myself. 
Please help me." He followed my up the steps.
   WHAT THE FUCKING HELL AM I DOING?  My logic screamed.  My little head
was thinking for me that evening.  My erection had slipped above the top of
my boxers.  I glanced back at Brandon.  The tip of his hard cock was
sticking out the front hole in his boxers.  I knocked at the bedroom door.
"We're both here Penny.  Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked.
   "Yes.  Please come in." she answered.  I opened the door.  Penny was
naked in the middle of our king-sized bed.  Her legs were spread wide,
giving both of us a great visual of her pussy.  Penny said, "Thanks for
agreeing to do this for us Brand.  You're the best."
   "Um....  sure.  I always enjoyed going to bed with you... you know...
when we went together two years ago." Brandon said.  He clearly wasn't
totally comfortable with the situation.
   Penny held her left hand out to him.  He approached our bed.  He
hesitated when he got to the edge of the bed.  He started to take off his
boxers and then stopped.  I pulled mine off to encourage him.  Brandon
dropped them to the floor, exposing his hard cock.  I stared at it for a
few seconds.  I hadn't seen him hard in years, not since our last circle
jerk with Ed, Hal and Jeremy back in eighth grade.  He had grown a lot
since then.
   His cock was probably as long as my seven incher.  It tapered at the
head more than mine.  It curved up and a little to the right.  It looked
like it would do the job Penny needed.  She pulled him into bed on her left
and gave him a kiss.  It started out tame but then Penny sucked Brandon's
tongue into her mouth.  They sucked tongues and lips while I climbed in bed
with them on Penny's right side.
   I cuddled up to her and nuzzled and kissed her neck while she and
Brandon kissed.  I could see him relax as Penny turned him on with her
tongue.  I kissed my way down her chest to her right breast.  I licked and
then sucked on her nipple.  Penny shuddered when I did that.
   Penny pulled away from Brandon's mouth and kissed me.  Our tongues
wrestled.  I saw out of the corner of my eye that Brandon had taken her
left tit into his mouth and was suckling on it.  Penny moaned into my mouth
while Brandon turned her on some more.
   Brandon and I exchanged places, one of us kissing Penny while the other
played with her tits.  Penny got more and more sexed up as we stimulated
her.  Finally she pushed me roughly to the head of the bed and got between
my legs.  Penny demanded, "Fuck me Brandon!" She dived down and sucked my
cock into her mouth.  I shuddered as she blew me.
   Brandon positioned himself behind my kneeling lover, his hands on her
bare ass.  I watched fascinated and horrified as he careful pushed his cock
into my lover.  He began pumping in and out of her tight pussy.  Penny's
body transmitted each of Brandon's thrusts down onto my cock.  He thrust in
and pushed my cock deep into Penny's throat.  She pulled off my cock a
little when Brandon backed out of her pussy.  Penny's tits rocked back and
forth as we screwed.
   Brandon screwed Penny vigorously while she sucked my aching cock. 
Brandon grunted, "Unhh... You're ... still... unnhh... on the pill?
   Penny had my cock buried deep down her throat.  I said, "Yeah...
ooohhh... She's still on ....  Ohhhh....  Shit!  The pill."
   Brandon took that as his cue to fuck her furiously.  Brandon groaned and
slammed his cock into Penny.  He stiffened and grunted as he blasted his
semen into my lover.  Penny held herself steady for a short time while she
felt Brandon fill her up with his sperm.  Brandon laid his body down on her
back when he was spent.  Penny went back to sucking my cock.  I lasted
about thirty seconds after Brandon came.  My poor over-stimulated cock
blasted a large wad of white goo down her throat when I came.
   I flopped back against the head of the bed.  Penny sagged and let my
cock fall out of her mouth.  Brandon pulled out of Penny and sat back and
looked at the two of us.
   "Damn!  This is hot.  I've never done anything like this." Brandon
exclaimed.  Penny rolled on her back and laid her head on my lap.
   "Wow!" is all Penny could manage.  Her eyes were slightly glassy.  I
stroked her hair while she recovered from her experience.  It took her a
couple minutes to recover her senses again.  When she was ready Penny
asked, "Kyle, I didn't cum.  Could you eat me?"
   "Sure honey." I answered.  Penny flopped around so her pussy was towards
me.  I bent down and started to lick the outside of my lover's labia.  It
was covered with her juices mixed with Brandon's white cum.  I expected to
gag when I tasted his sperm but I didn't.  It wasn't really any different
from mine.  I had licked my own off her pussy often enough to be used to
the taste.
   Penny motioned Brandon to climb over her face so she could bring his
limp cock back to erection.  I continued licking and teasing her pussy and
clitoris.  I could see Brandon big hairy ass inches from my head as I
licked my lover.
   I worked two fingers of my right hand into Penny's pussy so I could
stimulate her G-spot and bring her off.  It took me a minute or so before
she shuddered and moaned as she climaxed.
   I pulled my fingers out of her when she came.  I stared at the two
digits covered with Brandon's white sticky spunk.  WHAT THE HELL AM I
DOING? My rational brain screamed.
   Penny grunted, "Get me ready guys.  I want both your cocks now." Brandon
shrugged his shoulders to say `now what?' I took my bottle of lube off the
dresser and poured a little of the slippery liquid on my fingers.  Penny
rolled over and presented her butt to me.  I carefully lubed her asshole to
get her ready to take one of us.  Penny directed things when I had her
ready.  "Kyle, I want you in my pussy."
   "OK honey." I answered.  Brandon looked a little confused.  I asked,
"Have you ever done back door?"
   "No." He answered.
   "It isn't a big deal.  I have Penny lubed up.  Put your cock in her
slowly." I explained.
   "How does this work Kyle?" Penny asked.
   "I'll go on the bottom honey." I said.  I lay on my back and spread my
legs apart.  "Get on top of me honey."
   Penny started to get in position when Brandon teased me, "I hope you
meant Penny sweetums." Penny and I didn't laugh.  "Just a little joke to
relieve the tension." Brandon explained.  "A very little joke."
   Penny straddled my waist, positioned my cock at her opening and then
impaled herself on it.  I found out what it was like to experience sloppy
seconds when the cum was someone else's.  I could feel Brandon's semen seep
out of Penny and run down my shaft.  Penny asked, "OK Kyle.  Now what?"
   "Lie down on my chest sweetie." I directed.  I wrapped my arms around
her and pulled her down onto my chest.  I gloried in the feel of her
nipples pressing into my skin.  I said, "OK Brandon.  It's your turn."
   "Umm... OK." He answered.
   Brandon positioned himself behind Penny.  "You two are sure about this?"
he asked.
   "Do it Brandon.  I want it." Penny answered.
   I felt his legs rub against mine as he got in position.  I concentrated
on the hot pussy wrapped around my cock.  This is not gay!  I insisted to
myself.  This is not gay!  Then I felt it... The spongy head of Brandon's
hard cock rubbed along the shaft of my cock.  Brandon tried to press his
cock into the hole I was already in.  My eyes widened.  THIS IS NOT GAY!
   Penny instructed, "You're too low Brandon.  Move up a little."
   "OK" Brandon's cock pulled off the underside of mine.  I exhaled in
relief.
   "Ahhh..." Penny groaned.  I presumed Brandon had just penetrated my
lover.
   "Mmmm...." Penny moaned.  I felt Brandon slowly force his cock inside my
lover's bowels.  Just like the time with Ed and Jenny, I could feel his
cock penetrate into her through the thin membrane separating his cock from
mine.
   When his penetration stopped Brandon moaned, "God, this is tight."
   I asked, "Are you all right honey?"
   I felt Brandon's cock pull out part way.  Penny moaned "Yes." I felt
Brandon drive his cock back into Penny.  "JESUS!  This is so wild." Penny
locked her mouth over mine and kissed me.  Our tongues met and danced
together while Brandon stroked his rod in and out of my lover.
   I was supporting Penny's weight and part of Brandon's weight on my cock.
I did my best to thrust up into Penny while Brandon worked her over.  I
didn't get much penetration on each stroke but I did provide plenty of
stimulation to Penny.  She ground her clit on my pubis while Brandon fucked
her and shook our pile of bodies against each other.
   Penny reached her first orgasm after a couple minutes.  It wasn't a big
one but I could feel her pussy clench my cock while Brandon continued
drilling her from the back.  We thrust our cocks into our flesh sandwich
while Penny came.
   Penny calmed down after about thirty seconds.  She whispered to me,
"This is ....  Unnhh..." Brandon drove his cock in deep again. 
"Unbelievable.  Thanks for ...." His cock skewered her again.  "Unnhh.. 
understanding." I kissed her while Brandon boinked her bottom.
   We managed to bring Penny to two more orgasms before the stimulation
brought Brandon off.  He drove his hard cock into Penny one last time,
groaned and blasted his sperm into Penny's bottom.  Brandon collapsed on
top of our heap of sweaty bodies.  The weight of Penny and Brandon's nearly
three hundred pounds made it hard for me to breathe.  I grunted,
"Can't..... breathe...."
   "Sorry" Brandon replied.  I felt his prick pull out of Penny.  He
climbed off the pile of bodies.
   Penny sat up on my cock and said, "Oh God, that was amazing!" I grinned
to her.  "Did you get to cum honey?"
   "No.  not yet." I answered.
   "We can't have that." Penny declared.  She rose and impaled herself on
my cock vigorously.  I reached up and played with her nipples while she
fucked herself on my cock.  I twiddled with her clit when my groin started
to tingle to warn me of my impending explosion.  The clit teasing brought
Penny to orgasm just before me.  She groaned and shimmied on my cock until
I spurted my cum into her wet, sloppy pussy.  Penny collapsed on me as our
mutual orgasms drained our remaining energy from our bodies.  I hugged her
tight to my body while we recovered.
   I saw Brandon come out of the bathroom while we lay there.  He said,
"I'll go now." He started for the door.
   Penny rolled off me and said, "No.  Don't go.  Share our bed tonight." I
nodded my head in agreement.  Brandon climbed in bed on the other side of
Penny.
   We lay together in the bed, not speaking a word.  Each of us
contemplated the union we had just experienced.  Penny spoke first.  "I
better clean up before I make a complete mess of this bed." She headed for
the bathroom.
   Brandon and I looked at each other for a few seconds after Penny left.
Brandon said, "That was the most intense sexual experience of my life. 
Thanks for letting me share Penny this evening."
   "I did it for her.  She has been fantasizing about a three-way since she
found out that I did it three years ago.  Thanks for being willing to be
the third guy.  I doubt I would have done this with anyone else except
you."
   "Literally it was my pleasure." Brandon answered.
   "I don't think I ever thanked you for helping Penny and me get back
together two years ago.  Thank you."
   "It was nothing.  The spark wasn't there for Penny and me.  She still
wanted you.  All I did was get out of the way and give her a nudge in your
direction" Brandon explained.
   Penny rejoined us and climbed in bed between Brandon and me.  We both
cuddled up against her.  We fell asleep quickly.
  
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
   I woke up in the morning with my right hand on Penny's bottom.  I rubbed
my hand across my lover's cheeks.  Except... it was a lot bigger than I was
used to - and it was hairy!  My eyes shot open and I pulled my hand away
quickly when I realized; I had just fondled Brandon's butt!  I rolled away
and sat up at the edge of the bed.  My head throbbed to remind me that the
six beers I had last night were too many.
   I got out of bed unsteadily and staggered to my suitcase.  I grabbed the
aspirin and headed for the bathroom.  I took two pills and climbed in the
shower.  I looked down across my body while I waited for the water to get
hot.  I was a total mess.  I had dried cum matted in my pubic hair.  I
still smelled like a brewery.  I stepped into the stream of hot water and
let the aspirin and water work their magic.  Fifteen minutes in the shower
helped me remove most of the pain from last night's excesses.  I pulled on
board shorts and a T-shirt and went downstairs.
   I grabbed some orange juice from the fridge and turned the TV on. 
Brandon came down about fifteen minutes later.  He poured himself some
juice and sat down on the couch beside me.
   "I hope this doesn't mess up our friendship Kyle."
   "I don't think so Brandon." I answered.
   "When I was waking up this morning I thought the whole thing had been an
erotic dream.  I realized it wasn't when I opened my eyes this morning and
found my hand holding Penny's breast."
   I chose not to tell Brandon what I was holding when I woke up.  "I guess
we were a little drunker than we realized."
   "We were." Brandon answered.  The two of us sat together for a few
minutes, neither one of us saying anything.  Brandon got up and went out to
the deck in back and stared toward the ocean.  Our protests that this
wouldn't affect our friendship felt slightly hollow.
   Penny came downstairs fifteen minutes later.  We hugged and kissed as
soon as we met.  Penny held me tight to her body and said, "You're the only
one I love.  You know that don't you?"
   "I do.  I love you too."
   "I hope you don't feel too bad about last night.  They say be careful
what you wish for - you may get it.  That is how I feel this morning.  I
know I bugged you for months to try this.  Now that we did I wish he
hadn't. I'm sorry that..."
   I kissed Penny.  "Don't apologize.  I was an active participant too. 
Hell, I went downstairs to ask Brandon to join us.  This isn't your fault."
   "It was our last night together before you go to camp.  We should have
made love.  What we did last night was just fucking.  I wish..."
   "Shhhh!" I insisted.  I silenced my lover with a kiss.  "This isn't our
last time together this summer.  I'll be home from camp on July 30th.  We
have two more nights together." Penny returned my kiss.  I asked, "How do
you feel?  Is your head OK?"
   "I have a headache" Penny admitted.
   "I'll get you some aspirin.  Why don't you get breakfast?"
   "OK" Penny answered.  She headed for the kitchen.  I went upstairs for
my bottle of aspirin.  The others were getting up when I got upstairs.
   Everyone in our group was quiet that morning.  We had toast and cereal.
When we were done eating we finally brought up the subject on everyone's
mind - our departure for college and the break up of our tight little group
in a few weeks.
   Training camps started for all four of us on Monday, August 3rd.  Ed was
flying down to Gainesville on Friday, July 31st.  Jeremy was driving to
South Bend, Indiana and had to leave that same morning.  Hal and I had it
easier.  Each of us had a three hour drive to our colleges.  We were
leaving on August 1st.  We agreed that the whole group would get together
one last time on the evening of the 30th for a round of mini-golf.
   Ed and I packed our things in my car after breakfast so we could head
for home and scout camp.  Penny and I said our good byes.  I promised to
write her every day from camp.  I gave my girlfriend a final hug and an "I
love you." before I left for home.
   We had just left Ocean City when Ed said, "I couldn't help noticing that
Brandon didn't sleep downstairs last night."
   "Yes.  Penny found out last fall about us having a three-way with Jenny.
She has been fantasizing about trying it for months.  I was drunk enough
last night to agree to let her try it.  Brandon spent the night with us."
   "That wouldn't have been my choice for a last evening with my girlfriend
if I was you."
   "It wouldn't have been my choice if I had been sober." I answered.
   Neither of us said anything more about the events last night after that.
I thought about it the whole way home.  I was leaving my girlfriend behind
for two days in Ocean City with the guy she fucked the previous night.  Was
I crazy?  Then I thought about Brandon.  I couldn't ask for a better
friend. He would never, EVER, take advantage of Penny.
   Ed and I stopped at a Wawa Market for sandwiches on the way home.  We
were back in Paradise around 3 pm.
   I threw myself into preparations for my six weeks at scout camp when I
got home.  Mom had a list of clothes I needed to get for college before I
left for camp.  I did my shopping before dinner.
   Will and Abby stopped by the house for dinner.  When it was over Will
pulled me aside.  He asked, "Is there any chance you can come to camp
early? I got some bad news earlier today that changes my plans at the pool.
Justin Finnegan's parents were in a bad accident.  His father was killed
and his mother is in critical condition in a coma.  He can't come to camp."
   "No.  This is horrible.  What do you need?" I asked.
   "Obviously Justin won't be coming to camp, at least not for awhile.  I'm
short an assistant director.  I need more help setting up for camp.  Can
you come after lunch tomorrow?"
   "Sure.  I can do that." I said.  "Have you talked to Trent?  I'm sure he
can help too."
   "He's coming early too." Will explained.
   I felt horrible for Justin.  I knew he had a fifteen year old brother
and a twelve year old sister to look after now in addition to taking care
of his mother.
   I talked to Ed after dinner.  He was supposed to ride up to camp with me
on Sunday morning.  He agreed to come to camp early too and help us set up
the pool for the staff's arrival on Sunday.  I spent the rest of the
evening packing my things and loading them in my car.
   I slept in on Saturday morning.  Noah and Connor were getting better at
sleeping during the night.  Ed met me at 11:30 and we headed north for
scout camp.  We grabbed lunch on the way.
   Camp was nearly deserted when we arrived.  Ed and I checked in with the
camp director, Mr.  Holloway, and then moved our stuff into our usual tent
in the staff area.  Will and Abby had arrived a little ahead of us.  His
car was parked in front of Abby's cabin.  No - actually it was going to be
Will and Abby's cabin this year.
   They were married now.  It was acceptable for them to live together in
scout camp.  My brother was a lucky guy.  He got to work the summer at
scout camp and get laid every night too.
   Mr.  Holloway asked me to see him when Ed and I got moved in.  He had me
sit down when I arrived in his office.
   Mr.  Holloway said, "I guess you heard about Justin's parents?"
   "Yes, Will filled me in last night."
   "I'm going to be short an assistant aquatics director this summer. 
Would you be interested in the job?"
   "Sure, I could do that.  Would I work at the boat docks or at the pool?"
   "That's up to Will.  You can work that out with him and with Trent."
   "Cool." I said.
   "This promotion comes with a pay increase.  An assistant director makes
30% more than an instructor."
   "I can handle that Mr.  Holloway.  Thanks for asking me."
   I went to the pool to see what help Will needed.  He directed me to the
health lodge so Abby could check my medical.  I met Ed there.  When Abby
was done both of us headed back to the pool for our swim test.  Some things
are mandatory no matter what your job was in camp.  I needed to prove I
could swim even though I was going to be an assistant aquatics director for
the summer.  Trent arrived just after I finished my swim test.
   Will put Ed to work cleaning the shower house and around the pool. 
Trent and I got our first lesson on pool maintenance - how many chemicals
to use in the pool, how to clean the filter, how to test the water -
everything that went into keeping the pool safe to use for the summer.
   Will took us into his office when we were done with our first lesson in
pool maintenance.  He explained our responsibilities.  Trent would run the
pool this summer and I would be in charge at the boat docks.
   When Will was done explaining our duties I asked, "Who will I be working
with this summer?"
   "I thought you could work with Dustin Carter the first three weeks."
   "How about the rest of my time here?"
   Will answered, "Eric Connell."
   "Eric?  He didn't say anything to me about working at camp last Saturday
when I talked with him.  I thought he was going to be mowing lawns again
this summer."
   "Eric didn't agree to work here until Thursday."
   I asked, "How in the hell did you convince him to come here for the
summer?  He and Samantha are joined at the hip."
   Will smiled.  "I didn't.  Eric and Sammy are a package deal.  She is
going to work at the handicraft pavilion this summer."
   Trent said, "Damn!  What a lucky son of a bitch."
   "I know.  I wish I could bring Penny to spend the summer here with me.
Do Eric and Sammy know they can't sleep together at camp?"
   "I explained to them about the tenting arrangements.  They have agreed
that they will set a good example for the campers and the younger staff
members." Will explained.  He grinned at us.  "Now, I don't plan to go
searching for the two of them on Sunday mornings after the Cub Scouts
leave."
   I laughed.  "So you're going to condone two staff members having sexual
relations?"
   "You're a good one to talk.  Have you forgotten about a couple years ago
when you and Julie did it on your birthday in the boat house?" Will asked.
   "You knew about that?" I asked.
   Will replied, "How could I miss it?  The smell of pussy in the boathouse
on Saturday morning was overpowering."
   Trent asked, "What are you going to do when Kyle and I leave for
football camp?"
   "I don't know.  John... uh, Mr.  Holloway and I will cross that bridge
when we get there.  I have six weeks covered with you two.  We'll find a
way to cover the rest before you leave in August." Will explained.
   Rob Young, the program director and Jerry McMichael, the Pioneer Scout
director came while we were talking.  Trent and I gave them their swim
tests.  We ended up doing ten swim tests on Saturday afternoon for the
various department heads.  The cook made a nice dinner for the fifteen of
us in camp that evening.  We went for a long swim in the evening to relax.
   We finished preparations to welcome the rest of the staff on Sunday
morning.  Ed, Trent and I tossed a football for awhile before lunch.  Mrs.
Snader, the camp cook, made sandwiches for us.
   Our friends and coworkers started to arrive at 12:30.  Will, Trent and I
gave swim tests to everyone as they arrived.  The first day of staff week
was like a big reunion.  It was great seeing all our friends for the first
time since last summer.
   Staff week unfolded just like previous years.  We had training in the
evenings.  Monday and Tuesday were devoted to finishing set up in the
campsites that the Order of the Arrow hadn't set up the previous weekend.
Wednesday and Thursday Dustin, Eric and I set up the boat yard.  Friday was
skills day.  In the morning the aquatics staff demonstrated our swimming
and lifesaving skills for Will and Trent.  In the afternoon they came to
the boat yard and demonstrated to me that they remembered their boating
skills.  Will wanted every aquatics staff member to be capable of teaching
every merit badge if needed.
   During free time Trent, Ed, Dustin and I would practice our passing
game. Ed and I didn't use speed routes against Trent and Dustin.  We all
knew I could beat them anytime I wanted that way.  I concentrated on
becoming a better possession receiver.  I wanted to be able to catch the
ball in tight places with one or two guys covering me.
   The four of us ran each evening with Will.  Some days Eric Connell would
join us.  He wanted to be in better shape for his trip to Algonquin later
in the summer.  Eric was the crew leader for one of the two crews.  He was
going to have to help his group of mostly 14 year olds through the portages
and hard work up there.  Eric had grown to six feet in height since the
last trip.  He had a quiet confidence to him that complemented his obvious
brain power.  He would do a good job in Canada.
   I always made sure I checked my e-mails each evening.  Penny always sent
me something.  I replied before I went to bed.  Eric had wired the staff
lounge for Wifi.  It was really convenient.  I could use my laptop to
compose more "personal" (and erotic) e-mails to my lover that way without
other guys looking over my shoulder.
   The Boy Scouts arrived on Sunday, June 21st.  I felt like I was in the
perfect place for me - teaching kids.  Dustin and I traded off teaching
Canoeing and Rowing Merit Badges each week.
   Ed took the first week of campers off so he could go out to Shippensburg
to play in the East vs.  West game.  The game pitted 33 graduating seniors
from the eastern half of Pennsylvania against 33 seniors from the western
half of the state.  Ed and his teammates spent the week practicing for the
game on Saturday, June 27th.
   Ed was in a great mood when he returned to camp on the 28th.  The East
won the game 31-24.  Ed threw three touchdowns in the first half.  The West
came back in the second half to tie the game.  Bill Robinson, the other
East QB, pulled out the win by leading a fourth quarter drive to regain the
lead.
   Ed was in a talkative mood when it was time for bed.  He said, "We
almost blew the game yesterday.  The West's best tailback was
unbelievable."
   "Who is he?" I asked.
   "That's the thing.  I showed have known him.  Number 31 - he played for
Strong Vincent.  I just don't remember anyone like him when we beat them
for the championship.  His name is....  Darren... uh... Thomas... or
Thompson.  Something like that.
   "Thompson?  Damian Thompson?"
   "Yeah - that's the name.  He's a hell of a running back.  He isn't real
tall, but man is he a load.  You know a guy is good when Jeremy tackles him
squarely and can't stop him.  They ran the ball right up our gut after
halftime.  It took at least two of our guys to stop him on every play.  We
were lucky Bill Robinson was on our team.  Bill moved our team right down
the field and scored the winning touchdown before time ran out."
   "That shouldn't surprise you.  We both know how good he is.  Do you know
where Bill is going to school?"
   "Pittsburgh." Ed answered.
   "Cool.  Bill will do well there."
   Ed said, "I wish you'd have played in the game too.  It was a blast."
   "I need the money more.  I couldn't give up one of my weeks to work."
   "I guess that makes sense.  I'm going to miss playing with you.  One
more time would have been fun."
   "I know.  I'll miss playing with you too." I replied.
   "I guess we better get some sleep.  Polar bear swim comes too early for
you."
   "Yeah - good night Ed." I said.
   --------------------------------------------------------------
   Mr.  Holloway called a special meeting of all the staff for 9:30 in the
evening Monday.  We gathered in the dining hall.  Everyone was wondering
what was going on.
   Mr.  Holloway announced, "I have some sad news for you.  Most of you
know Justin Finnegan who has worked here the past five years.  I received a
call from his aunt earlier today.  His mother passed away this afternoon.
She had been severely injured in the car crash that killed Justin's father
a few days before camp opened."
   You could have heard a pin drop in the room.  This isn't supposed to
happen to guys when they are twenty years old.  It just was wrong.
   Mr.  Holloway continued, "I am sending flowers to Mrs.  Finnegan's
funeral in the name of the entire camp staff.  I would appreciate it if
everyone would sign the condolence card tonight so we can send it along
with the flowers."
   Every member of the staff from Mr.  Holloway down to the most junior CIT
signed the card.
   My troop and Trent's troop came in Week 3.  None of my friends came to
camp.  They all wanted to earn as much money at their summer jobs as
possible before college.  Christian did the same thing.  Ed and I moved
into a tent in our troop site for the week like we did every year.
   Matt Sauder, Cody Stevens and Dave Mitchell joined Ed, Trent, Dustin and
me after lunch each day to work on their passing skills.  Matt threw to
Cody or Dave while Ed threw to me.  Cody and Dave matched up better with
Dustin's skill level than I did.  Dustin made them work hard to catch any
passes.
   My birthday was Thursday night that week.  Mom, Dad, Andy, Liz and the
twins came to visit camp and to deliver my birthday cake and my mail. 
Penny bummed a ride to camp to.  Andy and Liz each carried a twin in a
backpack baby carrier while they toured camp, showing off their charges.
   Cody joined Liz as soon as he found out she was visiting camp.  They
were inseparable the rest of the evening.  I saw more than a few of the
kids Cody's age were envious of him for getting a visit from his girlfriend
while they were in camp.
   My big brother, God love him, told me I wasn't needed for any staff
duties that evening.  He even suggested that Penny and I could find some
quiet and privacy in his cabin for a couple hours.  He and Abby wouldn't be
back to the cabin until 9 pm that night.  Penny and I took full advantage
of the open and generous invitation to use their cabin for lovemaking.
   Penny and I rutted frantically our first time that night.  We had a
month of lust to quench.  Our second coupling was slower and more sensual.
We cuddled and talked after our mutual orgasms.  We decided to take a
shower about a quarter to nine.  Being the horny eighteen year olds we both
were, we ended up fucking in the shower just before Will and Abby arrived
at their cabin.  We dressed and headed up to the troop site for the
birthday cake and ice cream that Mom and Dad brought.  It turned into as
good a birthday as any I had ever had.
   Mom and Dad brought my mail that night.  It included a letter from Penn
State Housing, Food Services and Residential Life.  It told me I was
assigned to Room 407 Beaver Hall and that Christian Robert Hunsecker was my
roommate.  Unnecessarily they gave me Christian's address and phone number.
Penn State wanted me to contact my prospective roommate so we could get to
know each other before the semester started.  I had that covered already.
Christian and I were going to be a step ahead of the other freshman since
we were good friends already.
   Eric Connell started working at the boatyard with me that week.  I was a
little leery about how he would work out.  I've known some smart kids who
couldn't explain anything in a way a normal person could understand.  You
know - book smart but no common sense.  I was wrong about Eric.  His
lessons in canoeing were spot on.  I was confident he would be able to
handle his end of things after I left for college in a couple weeks.  Will
still hadn't said who would be in charge at the boatyard when I left.
   I found out in the middle of the fourth week.  Mr.  Holloway announced
that he had hired three more staff members.  They were going to arrive on
Thursday evening.  Justin Finnegan had straightened out most of his
parent's affairs.  The other two hires were Justin's 15 year old brother
Patrick and 12 year old sister Erin.  Patrick had been in my canoeing class
last summer.  He was going to help in Aquatics too.  Erin was going help
Abby in the Health Lodge.
   Abby welcomed Erin when the Finnegans arrived.  Will put Patrick to work
at the pool immediately.  He needed to earn BSA Lifeguard before he would
be much help to us.  Justin filled the rest of the Aquatics staff in on his
future plans on Saturday morning while we cleaned the pool.
   His parent's death benefits and life insurance paid off the mortgage on
their house and still left enough for Justin, Patrick and Erin to live on
until Justin finished college in two years.  Justin transferred his credits
to Millersville State University.  He was majoring in Communications and
they had a good program at Millersville.  He was going to raise his brother
and sister while he finished college.  He didn't want them split up and put
in foster homes.
   Week 5 of campers was my last week at camp.  Will decided that Justin
would run the boatyard when I left for college.  He visited a couple times
early in the week to make sure he remembered how things should run.  Justin
hadn't worked the boatyard in three years.  Justin had everything down by
Thursday.
   Ed and I packed our things at lunch that day.  We wanted to leave as
soon as the last class of the day was over.  I stopped by the pool after
sixth period to check out with Will and leave my keys with Justin.  I found
both of them in the pool office.  I handed my keys to Justin.  He said,
"Good luck in college Kyle."
   "Thanks Justin.  I hope everything works out for you, Pat and Erin." I
said.  We shook hands.
   I turned to Will.  "I have my class records up to date for Rowing Merit
Badge.  Justin knows where everything is.  I briefed Eric too before we
shut down the boat yard today.  He knows what each of the scouts taking
rowing has left to finish their badge."
   "Good work Kyle." Will said.  I turned the boat yard keys over to
Justin. "Get out of here.  Knock `em dead at Penn State."
   "I'll try Will." I started out the door but turned back again.  "Look
after Penny for me.  I'll feel better knowing she has friends on campus."
   "Count on it little brother." Will answered.
   I headed outside.  Trent was in the lookout chair guarding the staff
swim that was just starting.  I walked over to him.  "I'm heading out now.
Good luck this coming season Trent."
   "Thanks Kyle.  Good luck to you too.  Look after Christian for me."
   "I will.  See you later." I said.
   "Yes, later.  Maybe we can get together of Christmas break."
   "I hope not Trent.  I expect to my team to be in a bowl game.  I
probably won't be home for Christmas."
   "Duh!  I knew that Kyle.  Good luck." Trent reached down to shake hands.
"Until we meet again." We shook.
   "Until we meet again." I answered.  Trent was working tomorrow since he
didn't need to do freshman orientation like I did before he started
football training on Monday.
   I headed back to my tent to meet Ed.  We loaded up his things in the
back of my car.  I had packed my things in the trunk at lunch time.  We
walked over to the camp office to sign out.
   Mr.  Holloway met us as we signed out of camp.  I said, "I turned my
records and keys over to Justin a few minutes ago.  I checked out with
Will."
   "I gave my keys to Jerry.  He's all set." Ed added.
   Mr.  Holloway said, "Excellent men.  Are the two of you planning on
working here next summer?"
   I said, "I will if I can."
   Ed added, "Me too." Mr.  Holloway shook hands with each of us and then
we were on our way home.
   I dropped my laundry off in the basement immediately when I got home.  I
changed clothes and headed straight over to see Penny.  I got there about
fifteen minutes before we were supposed to meet Jeremy, Kathy, Hal, Tammy,
Ed, and Paige.
   Our group drove over to Strasburg for a late evening of mini-golf and
then ice cream together.  We had fun together our last night but the
impending break up of our group cast a melancholy air to the evening.
   Paige was spending the night at Ed's house.  Ed's parents had left on
Wednesday morning to drive his things to Gainesville, Florida.  Paige was
going to drive Ed to the airport in Harrisburg on Friday morning so he
could meet his parents in Florida.
   Jeremy was leaving with his parents early on Friday morning for the long
drive to South Bend, Indiana.  Hal and I had it easy.  We didn't need to
leave for college until Saturday morning.
   We parted at the end of the evening with hugs and kisses (for the girls
only).  Football players are supposed to tough guys, but we all shed a few
tears too when we said our good byes.  We promised each other we would keep
in touch during college.
   Penny had to work on Friday.  It was just as well.  I had too much to do
to get ready for college to spend time with Penny during the day.  My
wonderful lover made arrangements with our parents for me to spend our last
night together at her house.  We agreed to go out to dinner and then to a
movie.
   Noah and Connor had learned to sleep through the night better in the
seven weeks I had been away from home.  They only woke me once during the
night.  Noah and Connor were so much bigger than they were in June.  Andy
said they were almost 5 pounds heavier and 2 ½ inches taller than when they
were born.  I did my best to get to know my nephews in the time I had at
home.  I wasn't going to see them for a long time.  I hoped they would
remember their Uncle Kyle at Thanksgiving.
   I spent Friday packing everything I thought I would need for college. 
My TV went.  My sound system stayed home.  I took the speakers for my
computer.  My MP3 player would be enough for now.  My old desktop computer
stayed at home.  All my camping gear stayed at home.  I didn't expect to
have any time for that at college for that this fall.  I packed my favorite
books so I had some reading material.  Of course my new laptop went to
college.
   Coach Burton indicated that I would be required to travel in coat and
tie when the team had away games.  I packed my good suit and a sport coat,
slacks and a couple ties.  I packed casual clothes, khakis, and a bunch of
jeans.  I boxed up lots of T-shirts.  I threw a couple swim suits in.  I
hoped to take advantage of the natatorium to get some cardio workouts in
during the season.  By late afternoon I had everything loaded up in my VW
Golf.
   I gave Christian a call before dinner to find out his plans for
tomorrow. His parent's were driving him up first thing in the morning.  I
gathered all my check-in information and put it in the front seat of my car
so I would be ready in the morning.
   I had earned $200 a week at scout camp with my promotion.  I had put
nearly all of the $900 Uncle Sam left in my paycheck in the bank.  With the
$650 I received from my friends and relatives at the graduation party, I
had more money then I ever had in my life.  I paid all the money I borrowed
from dad back.  I knew what I had wouldn't last all year at college, but it
was a good start.  I decided to splurge and take Penny to dinner at Chris'
Restaurant for our final date before college.
   The dinner was fabulous.  Penny and I talked about our experiences this
summer - me at camp and Penny with her work for Dr.  Chu at the veterinary
clinic.  This past summer made her more convinced than ever that she wanted
to become a veterinarian.
   I found out what Penny's sister Niki and her fiancé Adrian were doing.
That was still up in the air seven weeks earlier at our graduation party.
Niki was accepted into the University of Virginia's Law School.  Adrian
found a job at an insurance company in Charlottesville, Virginia.  They
moved into an apartment near campus three weeks ago.
   We headed to Millersville for a movie.  We went to see Meredith Fowler's
latest movie.  It was great.  She's a tremendous actress.
   We stopped at my house when it was over so I could get an overnight bag.
I left my car at my house and walked with my lover to her house three doors
down.  Penny and I popped into the family room when we got there.  Her
parents were watching TV together, cuddled on the couch.
   Penny said, "Hi Daddy.  Hi Mom, we're home.  We're going to go to bed
now."
   "Hi honey.  Don't I get a good night kiss?" Mr.  Edwards asked.  Penny
gave her dad a kiss and then one for her mom.
   I added, "Thanks for letting me stay here this evening Mr.  Edwards.  I
appreciate it."
   "I tried to chase you and the other boys away.  It didn't work.  I guess
if my little girl has to have a boyfriend, she could have done worse than
you." Mr.  Edwards answered.
   "Daddy, I'm not a little girl anymore." Penny protested.
   He sighed.  "I know honey.  That's why I've learned to live with the
fact that you and Kyle are sleeping together.  I hope the two of you have a
nice evening.  Do try and get a little sleep.  Kyle has a long drive in the
morning."
   "We will." I promised.
   Mr.  Edwards had disliked and distrusted me when Penny and I dated as
freshmen.  He had made his peace with me in the past two years since Penny
and I had gotten together again.  I had managed to earn his unspoken
respect by taking the best care of his daughter that I could manage.  He
still teased me about stealing his daughter's virtue but his actions spoke
louder than his words.  He trusted me with his most prized possession - his
daughter.
   We headed upstairs to Penny's bedroom.  We undressed and climbed into
bed together.  We made out for a few minutes and then pleasured each other
orally.  We used our intimate knowledge of each other's body to bring our
partner to a glorious climax.  Penny wanted me to make love in the deep
penetration position.  She wanted to feel every inch of my manhood.  Penny
lifted her feet up to allow me to take position.  I positioned my cock at
her entrance and sank slowly into her, penetrating her to the core.
   "Oh God!  I love you Kyle." A tear rolled down her cheek.  "I can't lose
you."
   I balanced on one hand and wiped the tear away.  "This isn't the end
honey.  We will be together again after tonight.  I love you too much for
this to be the end." I leaned down and kissed Penny.  I pulled out slowly
and then pressed my erection back in.
   I wanted this to last so I worked my cock in and out as slowly and
tenderly as I could.  The sensations of my bare cock sliding against the
walls of her warm womanhood heightened our passion.  Soon I was thrusting
and bucking into her hard and fast as she pushed back against me.  Penny
climaxed first.  Her pussy coaxed and begged my penis until it bathed her
insides with my sperm.  We collapsed together in a sweaty heap.
   We held each other while we recovered.  My slimy cock eventually plopped
out of Penny's sloppy hole.  We cuddled together and fell asleep.
   Penny had set her alarm for 6:30 am.  I needed to be on the road by 8 am
to get to my dorm on time for lunch and orientation for freshmen football
players.  Penny turned the alarm off when it rang and nudged me in the
ribs. "Go take your shower honey."
   "OK" I murmured, half asleep.  I threw on my spare bathrobe and headed
down the hall to the bathroom.  A good hot shower finished the job of
waking me up for the morning.  I brushed my teeth and headed back to
Penny's room.  She was awake.  She put on a nightgown while I was gone.  I
dropped my robe and started dressing.
   Penny watched as I did it.  After a minute Penny asked, "Do you think we
made the right choices for college?"
   "Certainly." I answered as I pulled on my pants.
   "I'm not sure if we can do this.  We've done everything together for two
years.  How can I manage without you?"
   "You're one of the smartest people I know.  You'll do well with your
school work."
   "I need your body too.  I get so horny when we can't make love.  Little
Kyle only does so much for me." She was referring to her big dildo she used
when I wasn't available.
   "I'm going to miss you too.  I need my time with you." I sat down beside
her on the edge of the bed and hugged her against my bare chest.  Penny
wrapped her arms around me.  We clung to each other, silently considering
our separation.
   I thought about how long we were going to be apart.  Thanksgiving was
almost sixteen weeks away.  Could I do better this time than I had with
Julie?  I had to.  I knew, absolutely knew Penny was the girl for me - the
one I wanted to spend my life with.
   I felt Penny begin to sob as we held each other.  "Shhhh... It'll be
OK." I said quietly.  What if I... I... got tempted?  I could hold out
against Johara for a month, maybe two.  I knew I had the strength to do
that.  What would happen in... say October?  I was going to be so horny
after a couple months without sex.
   I had barely managed to keep myself from fucking her last fall.  It was
just as hard in April to stop myself from jumping in bed when she offered.
What was I going to do?  My eyes welled up.  I'm NOT going to cry!  I did
anyway.
   We sobbed as we held each other for another thirty or forty seconds. 
This was wrong.  I had to control myself.  I took a deep breath and said,
"We can do this honey.  Look at me."
   We released our embrace.  Penny turned and stared into my eyes.  "We
love each other.  You made the right choice to go to Penn.  You're going to
make a great veterinarian."
   "But... but... we won't see each other for....  for four months!" Penny
exclaimed.  She started to sob.
   "Shhhh...." I said.  I wiped the tears from her eyes.  "I'll write
everyday, just like I did this summer."
   "You will?  How can you have time while you're playing football?"
   "I promise.  I'll never go to bed without answering your e-mail.  I
guarantee it." I said.  I wasn't going to make the mistake I made with
Julie again.
   Penny stopped crying.  "Do you really think we'll make it for four
years?"
   "We don't have to worry about four years.  I'll be with you for
Thanksgiving.  It's fifteen weeks and a couple days away.  That's only
twice as long a time as we were apart last summer.  We'll do this one step
at a time."
   Penny breathed in deeply.  "Do you really believe that we can do this?"
   "Absolutely.  We love each other too much to let a little distance
separate us." I said decisively.  I wished I was as sure as I tried to
sound for Penny.
   I glanced at Penny's clock.  It was 7:15 am.  "I need to go honey.  I
have to leave by 8 o'clock and I need to say good bye to my parents too." I
hugged her and gave her a parting kiss.  I pulled away and wiped another
tear from her check.  "I love you so much."
   I stood up.  I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes again.  I bit
my lip and tried to control my emotions.  I turned away to hide my eyes. 
"Good Bye Penny.  I have to go." I picked up my shirt and slipped it on. 
"I love you." I declared.  I picked my overnight bag and headed for the
door.
   Penny called to me.  "I love you Kyle."
   "I will be thinking of you constantly." I said.  I closed the bedroom
door behind me.  I sniffled and struggled to keep my tears in check.  I
managed to get my emotions back under control by the time I walked to my
house.
   I headed for the kitchen when I got home.  Andy was feeding Noah at the
kitchen table.  Liz was feeding Connor on the high stool in the corner of
the room.  Mom asked, "Did you have breakfast yet honey?"
   "No.  I took a shower at Penny's house but I didn't eat."
   "What would you like honey?"
   "Bacon and eggs?" I asked hopefully.  Mom rarely made breakfast for us.
I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity.
   "Bacon and eggs it is Kyle.  I trust you don't need any of the clothes
in your overnight bag?"
   "No.  These clothes are staying here.  I don't need them at college." I
explained.
   "Put the bag on your bed.  I'll wash them when I do laundry later
today." Mom said.  She threw bacon in the frying pan.  Five minutes later I
was chowing down on breakfast.  Dad came downstairs while I was eating.
   "All set bud?" he asked.
   "I think so Dad." I answered between mouthfuls of egg.
   "Are you sure you don't want me to follow along and help you move in
Kyle?" Dad asked.
   "No, you don't need to do that.  I'm eighteen, I can handle moving my
things into my dorm." I answered.
   "OK.  As you wish." Dad said.
   Dad waited until I finished my breakfast.  Dad said, "Kyle, you are
going off on your own for the first time.  Please keep in mind the purpose
of college - you are going to get an education.  Everything else -
football, girls, parties - all the things kids do at college take second
place to getting an education."
   "I know Dad."
   Mom added, "You are going to be free to set your own rules Kyle.  You
need to be careful with your new freedom.  You need to watch out for
alcohol Kyle.  It can make you do crazy things."
   "I know Mom.  I remember from ninth grade when I got drunk.  I'll be
careful.  I promise." I stood up.  "I have to go check my room and make
sure I haven't forgotten anything."
   I headed upstairs for a final look around.  I didn't see anything that I
would need in the next four months.  I went back downstairs.
   I said my good bye to Andy and Liz.  I gave Noah and Connor good bye
kisses.  "Remember you Uncle Kyle boys." The whole family followed me
outside to say good bye.
   Mom handed me a tin of cookies as I climbed into my Golf.  "Good luck
Kyle." Mom said.  She was blinking her eyes rapidly, trying to fight back
tears.  She got me started again.  I bit my lip to control my emotions
again.
   "Good luck son." Dad called out.
   I started the car.  "I'll see you at Thanksgiving." I called out as I
put the car in reverse.  My family waved good bye as I pulled into the
street and drove off.  It took me most of the block to get my emotions back
in hand.  I headed west for Lancaster and my destiny at Penn State.
   -------------------------------------------------------
   The drive to Harrisburg was routine.  There wasn't much traffic on the
road at 8:00 o'clock on a Saturday morning.  I followed 283 west to 83,
then north to 81 and finally to 322.  I looked at the Susquehanna River on
my left.  I smiled as I passed the miniature Statue of Liberty in the river
near Dauphin.
   I drove across the Susquehanna River.  I felt I was leaving my old life
in Lancaster County behind for an unknown but promising future.  The sun
sparkled on the Juniata one hundred feet below Route 322 as I drove up the
hill after Amity Hall.  I thought about what I had learned in the last four
years.  I was still a little kid adjusting to a suddenly big body when Zack
Hayes and Coach Caffrey asked me to try out for football that spring
afternoon at the end of eighth grade.
   Girls were a complete mystery when I left the middle school.  I'm not an
expert now, but at least I have a clue.  I am in love the greatest girl in
the world.  Our future is uncertain but we are going to give it our best
try to make our relationship last through four years of separation during
college.
   I left the middle school known as Will's little brother.  I managed in
four years to forge my own identity.  No one called me Will's little
brother anymore.  I had the respect of my teammates and classmates.
   I was a follower when I finished eighth grade.  Scouts and football had
taught me about leadership.  I had the confidence now to take charge of a
situation - to make sure my group succeeded.  I had succeeded athletically,
academically and socially.
   I was heading for Penn State to join the national champion football
team. I had managed to go from an unknown kid to a highly recruited wide
receiver who earned a college education on a full scholarship.
   I may not know the exact route my journey in life would take, but I knew
the destination.  When I was finished with college and finished with
football I would teach kids and coach football.  I'd marry the girl I loved
and raise a family.  I hope I can manage to negotiate all the hazards
between where I was now and that destination.
   I had been a big star on our small high school stage.  I was going onto
one of the largest stages in the county when I arrived at Penn State.  It
was a rush to play in front of 18,000 fans during the playoffs last winter.
The next time I stepped on the field I would be appearing in front of
107,000 fans.  Did I have the talent, the willingness to work and the
football smarts to succeed?  Would I still have the drive to excel?  I was
going to find out soon.
