Lydia

Jake and I decided to wait until our exams were over before telling our parents that we were together. The day after our last exams, I went over to Jake's place to join him on a Skype call with his mom and dad. We were going to break the news to them first, and then to my parents.

We were so excited about coming home for the summer as a couple. I told Reggie about Jake, but she didn't seem overly excited.

"I'm not surprised. You two always had some chemistry going on," she said.

To be honest, my friendship with Reggie was growing distant. Carrie felt the same too, between herself and Reggie. It's a natural progression in life that some people grow apart, while others stick. Reggie found a new crowd she bonded with.

Carrie looked forward to spending the summer with Johan. They were going to spend some time at the beach with some of his old high school friends and his sister, Kelsey. Carrie said Jake and I were more than welcome to visit and join any time.

After our first time together, Jake said he wanted to be closer to me. He wanted to really feel me when we made love. He trusted me and asked me to do the same for him. He promised me he would remain faithful. A week later, we went to the doctor at the campus clinic, and I was back on the contraceptive pill.

Before we drove back home, Jake asked me to join him in telling his parents the good news. I felt the palpitations of my heart go faster in nervous excitement.

"Mom, can you hear me?" Jake asked as the screen showed his parents sitting in their living room.

"Yes, honey, we can hear you loud and clear," chimed Angie, his mom.

"We're looking forward to having you home, son," Robbie said.

"Mom, Dad, I have Lydia here."

"Hi!" I waved and smiled at the camera.

"Lydia, hello!" Angie excitedly greeted me, and Robbie waved.

Their eyes widened with surprise when they saw Jake's hand around my waist. He noticed too, so he pulled me in closer to him and pecked me lightly on my lips.

"Mom, meet my beautiful girlfriend, Lydia Coleman," Jake announced, with a wide grin and a proud shine in his eyes.

Angie covered her mouth with both hands and her eyes widened. Then... she squealed!

"Oh my goodness, Robbie look at that! Congratulations you two! I'm so happy for you!" Jake's mom was glowing with excitement.

"Congrats, Jake and Lydia. I can't say I'm surprised," Robbie said, hiding a smile.

"Oh, May will be so surprised to hear the news!" Angie's face changed to nervousness when she realized my mom would eventually find out. Mom wasn't exactly warm to the idea of boyfriends. I think it hit Angie too that Jake might not be an exception to the rule.

"Have you told your parents yet, dear?" Angie inquired.

"Um, no. We're going to tell them when we get home tomorrow," I responded.

"Okay, honey. I won't say anything until you tell them."

The conversation continued, with Jake telling them how much he looked forward to coming home.

The car trip would take a couple of hours to drive to my parents' home. I told them that I was driving with Jake and that he would sleep over.

I chatted with Jake and sang out of tune to the radio in the car to keep him company. He laughed and placed one hand in between my thighs.

"Jake, you'll need both hands on the wheel," I chastised him.

"Yes, Mom," he smiled.

"Jake, what are you doing? It's the wrong exit!"

He had a smirk on his face as his eyes looked to the road.

Within a few minutes, Jake pulled over, and we were parked in the middle of nowhere.

"Jake? What's going on?" I eyed him skeptically.

He turned to me, slid his hand between my thighs and gave me a naughty grin.

"Wanna fuck?" he asked, as if having sex was like playing ball or going for a swim.

He unbuckled his jeans and pulled his hard, thick length out. It sprang to life, erect and proud.

"Jakey, you can't just..." My lips quivered, and I was shaking. I realized that Jake was used to girls who were more sexually forward and brazen. Girls who took what they wanted from him. Girls who used his body. Girls like Elsie. Katie. Thea. Reggie.

That thought crossed my mind. Had Reggie and Jake done more than make out?

"Jake, you're a male slut!"

I unbuckled my seat belt, got out of the car and slammed the door. I started walking towards civilization. Wherever that may be.

"Lydia, wait!" I heard Jake shout behind me.

"Wait up. Whoa, baby girl, slow down."

"Don't baby girl me! I'm a grown woman!" I shouted back at him.

"You may look like a grown woman, but you sure as hell don't act like one!"

I turned around. His eyes flashed anger and pain. His hair was ruffled, and his body looked hot. He looked sexy, and he was mine to taste. To eat. To take.

On one hand, I was upset that he treated sex so lightly and casually. On the other hand, I wanted to use him too. I craved a slice of my cake. A wave of guilt and pleasure washed over me, so I walked back towards the car.

"That's it? Just like that?" His voice was right behind me.

He demanded an explanation. I wasn't ready to give him one.

"Let's just get in the car," I said.

A few minutes later, we both sat in the car in silence.

"I'm sorry, Jake. I really am. Something inside just snapped."

"Babe, it's okay. I'm sorry too."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

I looked at him, and his eyes expressed a blend of empathy and remorse.

"I'm also sorry for the crude sex joke I made before history class at the start of the semester," he confessed.

"Apology accepted," I replied. I smiled at him.

I eyed what was between his legs.

"Are you... in the mood?" I asked seductively, glancing at him.

"Nah. Not now."

An hour later, after the storm calmed down, I asked Jake to pull over. We stopped at a quiet place, on the side of an abandoned off-track road.

"Jake, would you consider being a porn star? I mean, you're so handsome and, um, big," I teased him.

"What?"

"You're impressive," I teased, batting my eyelashes. "I think you could do porn."

"What the fuck? NO! Why would I want to do that?" Jake's eyebrows shot up. His eyes looked surprised and bewildered.

"It was just a silly fantasy," I replied, sighing.

"Oh, really? Am I your porn star in your fantasy?" Jake's smile was back. His left eyebrow raised upward, and he slowly released a seductive smile.

I unbuckled my seat belt and planted a warm kiss on his mouth. We kissed deeply and passionately before I undid his jeans and played with him.

I pulled my top and bra off so Jake could see my breasts. I craved him. I bent my head down to kiss his hardness. To taste him. I wanted my share too.

An hour and a half later, we arrived at my family home. I was in a good mood and so was Jake, after our hot session. We rang the doorbell and waited for Mom and Dad to open the door.

"Here we go," I said.

Jake smiled, kissed me on my cheek, and held my hand.

Mom opened the door and greeted me with two words, "You're late."

She glanced at me, then at Jake, then at our clasped hands. Her eyes grew large when she looked at our entwined hands, but she surprisingly managed to overcome the sight and gave us both hugs.

"Come on in. Your dad's preparing dinner," Mom said.

We both walked inside. I felt at home in familiar surroundings. Jake let go of my hand and said he would bring my stuff inside. Within minutes, he brought all my gear and left it on the side of the stairs. He also brought in his backpack, which had extra clothes, his laptop, wallet and other things. He placed his keys on the counter inside the foyer and locked the door.

"Ben, Lydia and Jake are here," Mom called out to Dad.

Dad came to the living room to greet us. He gave me a hug and shook Jake's hand.

Jake wrapped his arm around me, and his hand rested on my waist. Mom eyed our togetherness and nudged Dad. Dad cleared his throat and adjusted his shirt collar when he glanced at Jake's possession of me.

"So, Jake. Lydia. Anything new happened since Christmas? I see that you... uh..."

"How did this happen? And when?" Mom's shrill voice interrupted Dad.

"As you see, Jake and I have some news. We're together!" I beamed a smile that could light up the entire house.

"We only started dating a few weeks ago. Right before exams. We wanted to tell you in person, after exams," Jake answered Mom's questions. "Lydia's always been a very special woman to me."

"Jake asked me out, and I said yes," I added.

"What do you mean when you say Jake asked you out?" Mom's lips pursed, and her eyes were bordering annoyance.

"I think she means that Jake asked our daughter to be his girlfriend. Is that right, son?" Dad looked at Jake for confirmation.

"That's right," Jake replied.

"He's my boyfriend," I said.

Mom and Dad looked at me. Then at Jake. Then at me again.

Mom shook her head in disbelief.

"Lydia, why do you always need a boyfriend? Couldn't you just leave Jake alone?" she sighed heavily.

"Umm, no. I couldn't just leave him alone. I don't always need a boyfriend, either. It just felt right," I retorted.

"Jake, son, are you sure about this? Lydia, you too?" Dad looked at Jake first, then me.

"I'm sure," Jake said. At the same time, I said, "We're both sure."

"Do your parents know, Jake?" Dad had to ask.

"I told them right before we left," Jake answered.

"I hope you're both using protection. I'm too young to be a grandmother," Mom blurted.

"Mom!" I raised my voice. "I'm on the pill!"

Jake squeezed my hand to calm me down.

Dad changed the topic. "Well, we'd better start eating dinner before it gets cold. Come and take a seat at the table."
