" Jerry and I were sitting in my bedroom shootin' the shit. I'd met him recently at the local junior college where I was taking classes. We were in a ...ouple of classes together and liked to eat at the same fast food joint off campus so I guess that's our version of hitting it off. Martina is in our English class and all the guys lust over her. My name's Walt and I'm 18 years old."Go for it, dude," said Jerry."Yeah, sure," I responded. "She won't even give me the time of day much less let me. What if someone else walked in the dunes? He responded very sweetly. He reassured her that no one ever came to this spot. After some time she started to relax. The warm sun on her body was like an aphrodisiac. A week later he had taken her to the same place again. That second time they had fucked like rabbits in the hot sand. Her phone beeped. Tom had sent a message, “On my way home. Love you.” She knew he would be there in thirty minutes. She opened her laptop again and went straight to their. “It’s a fucking beauty,” she whispered, apparently surprising herself as much as she surprised me, for she quickly brought her hand up to her mouth and started giggling.I started pulling up the trunks and looked at her as she giggled; her bright black eyes looking into mine with something like admiration or love.“Put it away quickly, before it knocks me over,” she said and burst out laughing heartily.I looked at her, smiling myself, as her body shook with laughter. She wiped the water coming. She had no clue whatthe next morning held, much less what the rest of her life was going tobe like.She curled up in the soft covers of her bed and prepared herself for themost restless night of her life as she mulled in the maelstrom ofthoughts in her mind.***Zach lay stiffly on the couch with his eyes wide open. He had stayedoutside for a while to have some much needed time to himself. Strangelyenough, when he had finally decided to come in, his mother was nowhere tobe found and her room was.
