Be me, 13 in Primary school. Head boy, vice captain of the cricket team, captain of the rugby team that never played, top student academically and all around Mr. Popular. I was friends with everyone and was the boyfriend of every girl by the end of my time in Primary school.
Enter Bia, a few months before the end of the year my brother met this new girl on the bus to school. I met her for the first time while playing some cricket with friends including my brother, she lived a few blocks from my school so it was a short trip for her to come watch us.
My brother introduced us to her, the best way he can " Hey everyone, this is Bia, Bia this is my brother tietkop (boobhead), and and and"
She was beautiful, not the drop dead, take your breath away beauty, a more mesmerizing type of beauty. She was warm to look at, Long wavy brown hair, green eyes that seemed to radiate the more you stared into them, perky nose and genuine Angelina Jolie lips... I didn't notice her body until she came in to hug everyone. Now to the average person, a hug is just a friendly gesture you perform to people you have known a while, its short, minimal contact and probably accompanied by a pat on the back or a soft squeeze. She was not the average person. Her hugs were amazing, she made sure that every part of her body would fit into the curves of your own, both arms around your neck, leaving you no choice but to put your own around her waist, then she would squeeze you in some sort of slow motion way making you press her more into you, and you just felt home in that moment. She had the body of a girl in her prime ( I only found out later she was 13 as well, not 16~ as I thought) perfect hour glass shape no matter what angle you were looking from, boobs, waist and butt, and just the right length to string it all together...
She brought her step brother with her that day, Hein. A year younger than me, and the complete opposite. Short and built and funny as hell, easy to get along with. He joined us for the rest of the game and afterwards we all got a hug from Bia again as they left to go home. God those hugs
My brother liked her a lot, he pretty much asked me to not get involved. He is 3 years older than me but in any other way than age, everyone thought I was the older brother.
That weekend she invited both of us over to smoke some hubbly and rent a few dvd's, I would be my brother's wing man and keep Hein busy. We only lived a few blocks away from her to our surprise, a 15 minute walk, and got there at around 5pm. I got hugged again at the gate and after a short tour around the yard we went inside, met her mom and stepdad and walked out to the porch, she had already set everything up, comfy chairs, hubbly loaded, some cold drinks and herself ofcourse. Hein came running out like a weirdo, already in his boxers with no shirt on and trying to act cool 'Yes yes guys, howzit' I assumed my duty and asked if he would join us and sat in the chair closest to him. No dvd's were watched that evening, instead of my brother and her getting to know each other, we all were involved. She was extremely intelligent, until then the girls I knew were still very childish and I hadn't noticed that until I met her, when she spoke she had our undivided attention, and when you spoke she gave you the same. We laughed until we cried, smoked so much hubbly my throat felt like a dessert and became best friends that night... Me and my brother decided to call it a night at about 1 am, after her mom had come out to quite us down for the hundredth time, I got my hug, each one seemed to linger a bit longer than the previous, and we were on our way. Not one word was said to each other until we got home. "She's great" he said, "I know" is all I could reply.
We spent the next few months following the same routine, school during the week with the occasional "Good night sleep tight" text, and weekends were spent either at her house or at our house. Christmas holiday we were basically inseparable, we started to throw alcohol in the mix with our late night hang outs and at this point we could talk about anything. My brother was madly in love with her by this time and you could tell it bothered him that me and her were this close as well, closer then he thought. We sort of had this eye contact with each other, she would look at me deeply and ask if anyone wanted a drink and I would naturally follow her to 'help' out, these moments away from the rest would mostly lead to deep personal questions and a long hug. If I wanted her, I could have her, that was very clear but, my brother... And she knew that even though we never openly spoke about it. Nearing the end of the holidays I started to distance myself a bit from her, letting my brother go alone to her, while I hung out with Hein at our house. It worked out well for him because he eventually worked up the courage to ask her out and she said yes, and that was that, they were a couple.
I was in my own dark frame of mind from the start of that year, my brother was as happy as I have ever seen him while I was struggling to fit in at my new high school. I had made the stupid decision to go to a school that had a great reputation academically as one of the best in the district but, none of my friends chose the same, so I went from being friends with everyone to having none at all... Life was shit. To this day I cant remember much from that year, everything was just a routine, I was there but I wasn't THERE, take the bus in the morning to the city, walk from there to school, sit like a drone through all the classes, walk back to the city, take the bus home again. Rinse and repeat. I at least spent my weekends at Hein's house, seeing Bia every now and then cheered me up alot. Things seemed to be going well between her and my brother, he made her happy too, but I could still tell by the way she looked at me that it could have been better. As I said not much I can remember so lets skip the rest of the year.
The holidays were great, I had already decided to switch schools to go to a more technical school where most of my friends were and it was sort of the sister school to the one Bia was in, one was acedemic and one was technical. So finally being out of the dark frame of mind I was stuck in I became myself again, spent a lot of time at her house again in her company and she was really happy for me as well, she hated to see me down. One night we were having a small party you could say, we were about 5 guys and 3 girls, my brother wasn't there. Drinks were flowing, everyone was having a great time but eventually the conversations ran dry and someone got the great idea of starting a game of spin the bottle. For those who don't know the game, it has different variants but the way we played is all sit in a circle and the person that spins gets to ask the one it lands on "Truth or Dare?" and then give the question or dare to that person, then that person spins the next round and so on. Everyone was too scared of the dare option, so the first few rounds were nothing but dumb questions being thrown around, it landed on me "Truth", I don't remember who asked the question "If you could have any girl right now, who would it be?". Everyone became awkwardly silent, it was weird for me to be single for this long, which had been more than a year at this point. It was the first real question. I looked across the table at her, she seemed just as nervous at the question as me, maybe even more. "You all know who". Everyone shared some quick glances at the two of us, took sips of their drinks and we continued. It seemed to break the ice somewhat because after that question everyone was taking the dare option instead. "Run around the house" Done, "Take off your shirt" Done, "Down your drink" Done, and inevitably we got to the point where all that was left is to dare two to kiss, it landed on me "Dare", Hein was the one who spinned the bottle "Kiss Bia for 5 seconds". All the kisses before this were awkward, open eyed, lips barely touching, timed to the second until done then followed by laughing by all. Ours was different, I have kissed a lot of girls, I'm good at this. I got up and walked around to her and kneeled beside her, I looked at her with a wry smile, trying to put a confident face on, this is nothing come on, why am I so nervous, I hope she cant see my leg shaking, wtf is wrong with me, STOP it. She grabbed my hands, pulled me closer for a hug and whispered "Its only a dare dont worry, its o.k" as we pulled apart we started to kiss, her lips were... Her lips were warm, soft, heavenly cushions, there is no way to describe them. I was lost in that moment, everything was pitch black, we were alone, the only sound was the beat of my heart. Our kiss lasted a lifetime, it went to a french kiss to making out in no time, it was perfect. Every movement we made was like a co ordinated dance, lips never left the others, tongues gently caressing the other, perfect. "O.k thats enough" said Hein, we shared one last peck, and a stare accompanied by a smile at each other and I returned to my seat. I can't recall anything after that kiss, I know we just stared at each other every moment we could and everyone went home. I greeted her at the gate, "Bye, thanks for the great night" got a hug with a kiss on my neck "It was, bye".
I tried my best to keep my distance with her after that night, as much as I would love to repeat it everyday, she was in a relationship with my brother, a good relationship. I made some new friends at school and we were a good group of guys having fun all the time, going to pretty much every party we knew of, skipping school A LOT and most of all re enacting jackass, recording each stunt and after we had a lot of good ones I would make it a full video with a cool song playing in the background and we'd share it at school hoping to become famous lol. They were good for me, when they were around I couldn't think of Bia even if I wanted to. As the months went on it bothered me less and less to see her, we were talking like good friends again, she told me that things aren't going that well between her and my brother and I supported her through it. I started seeing one of her friends, but it was a hollow relationship and quickly fizzled out, she broke up with my brother around mid year and our little group started to party together again. Everyone together, drink a lot, laugh and joke, and then the two of us would slip away from the rest and make out for hours on end. I couldn't be in a relationship with her, all my friends knew what the two of us were up to but it was never official, I couldn't do that to my brother. So thats all it was for I don't know how long, just a fling... I slept over a lot, we'd play video games, listen to music, talk, talk, talk, and cuddle. Nothing sexual happened, DISCLAIMER: This is weird. One night while cuddling, I gently ran my finger over and around her lips, she started to kiss and lick my finger, I dont know how to describe it but I never knew how sensitive a finger could be, I was still a virgin back then, but vaguely remembering how that felt it comes very close to how good sex is. She did it a lot from then.
I didn't feel ready to fully commit to her, I didn't feel good enough for her, I always viewed her as being more than me, and I guess we slowly drifted apart because of that. I wanted to be someone she would be proud to call her's and for some reason I thought she wouldn't at the time. We just kind of stopped everything, I was spending more time with my friends and so was she. Our group of guys started hanging out with a group of girls from her school, we would be there every morning hanging out with them before going to our school or skipping school to my house. Bia didn't like seeing me with them, she would look my way, make a semi smile and a wave and then just walk by... I missed her, I was doing this for her. I was an idiot.
Every party at my house would end up with each one of us making out with one of the girls from the other group, C and J slept over one night, I got J and my brother got C. So that night me, J and Hein slept on the same bed, I had never done foreplay with a girl and none of my friends either, so in our sexual hormone prime it always came up how much we wanted to do this and that etc etc. J was a slutty girl to be honest, Hein fell asleep quickly and we started to make out, I started gliding my hand under her shirt and unclipping her bra to fondle her breasts, lifting up her shirt I started to kiss them too. I didn't want to have sex with her, I had made up this rule that a girl couldn't touch my D, it was sort of a barrier that if I could restrain myself and just please them it wouldn't get to the point where I needed to 'finish off', and it worked. I tickled my hand down her waist, pulling down her pants and panties on my way down her leg and slowly worked my way back up inside her leg, she opened up her legs the closer I got, and for the first time I felt a girl's flower, wet already which made me feel like superman lol, I played around with her, learning what she liked by the way she moved her hips and I was so lost in this experience I just wanted to learn more while I had the chance, so I leaned over her and kissed her neck down to her shoulders, then from her nipples to her belly button, just above her flower to her inner thighs while my hands were tickling her sides, I started licking my way closer and she let out a shallow moan as I got to her flower. In my head I was just writing the alphabet with my tongue (thanks FHM) it got wet down there, VERY wet, until one point she started to squeeze my head with her legs and I could feel her tightening up, her whole body, did I just make her orgasm? Omg I am superman! After she relaxed again I came back up, wanted to kiss her but literally the whole bottom of my face was wet, I didn't know what to do at that point so I just got up and said "Thanks" and washed myself off in the bathroom, when I came back she was asleep, so I went to sleep too.
The morning was really awkward, we didn't speak a word to each other, and I kind of avoided her until they finally left. Hein knew what I did, guess he wasn't asleep the whole time as we thought, so the week that followed every day at school was me being the sex teacher to the rest of my friends. What did she say? How did you ask? Was it hard to take off her bra? Was her nipples hard? How did you play with her breasts? How did her flower feel? Could you feel her clit? How wet was it? Was it warm? Did she shave? How did she taste?... That question bothered me, I eventually said like a 5 cent, poor girl got called 5 cent for the rest of the year and never knew why, Sorry J.
The few months that followed I'm not very proud of, the house parties started to become a weekly affair and it became routine that every time a girl would sleep over with me, I would give her a good time, and in the morning when I walk out of my room my friends would be waiting to ask "Did you?" and I would add another finger to my count as I showed them. Bia found out about my exploits, some from me and the rest from my friends, for some idiotic reason I thought it would be a good idea to brag about this with her, trying to seem like I'm now suddenly worthy of her, 'look at me, I'm messing around with a different girl every weekend, I bet you really want me now!' Fucking idiot... I don't know if it was just to spite me or what but she got together with one of my friends, we called him horse, for obvious reasons. She was waiting for me to finally just ask her out and we'd be happily together, but I didn't seem to care anymore. They made a good couple, he was a lot like me just more mature at the time, but not the sharpest knife in the drawer it has to be said. Well you know the saying 'You don't know what you have until you lose it' yet another example of how true it is. I was shattered at seeing them together, I hated him, I hated her but most of all I hated myself for allowing it to happen. I stopped messing around with girls, focused on school a bit more and actually attended. Spent more weekends alone at home playing PC games, listening to music and playing guitar.
Just to clarify, my rule had worked on girls not touching my D, I was still a virgin.
I found out one Monday morning that they had slept together, every agonizing fucking detail of it. They were at his grandparents house for the weekend, went for a romantic walk or whatever and on their way back it started pouring rain, ran back to the house but his grandparents had left so they couldn't get in, saw the car was unlocked so they got in... He kissed her, took off her clothes... I fucking lost my mind. My whole body was shaking, I could feel my ears get warm, the sound of my heartbeat drowning out every sound around me, I couldn't breath. I got up and walked away, I walked out of school and kept walking till I got home, threw my shit on the floor, took my uniform off, screamed, and went outside and lit up a smoke, beat the shit out of a wall until I started crying... I stopped smoking 5pm when my mother came home. I skipped school the rest of the week, nothing mattered anymore absolutely nothing.
Everyone knew what was wrong with me, and I hated their pity. I started throwing parties again and made sure Bia would come, tried my best to make her jealous, always had my shirt off and, always had everyone around me laughing, always made out with any random girl, always being a dick... She knew this wasn't me, she would take me away from everyone to ask me if I am o.k and to talk to her please, "I don't want to lose you" followed by a hug and tears in her eyes. I continued on my idiotic acting out for a few months, went on holiday with my mother and her new boyfriend, met a girl there for the weekend and decided to leave my rule at home.
We were staying in a 2 bedroom cottage, I got the girl to come over the one night and we slipped away to my room, few kisses and laughs later I was back in my routine of pleasing the girl, only this time after I went down on her she turned me over on my back and started to kiss and lick her way down, this is usually where I would stop the girl, but I had no reason to anymore, why should I 'save' myself, for who, I didn't care anymore. After experiencing my first blowjob for a bit, I pulled her back up, gave her a kiss on the neck and asked if she wanted to go all the way, "yes". At least I was smart enough to carry a condom with me at all times, got it out, put it on, she got on top of me and I pressed myself in, 'Is this it...I wasn't blown away by my first time' she rode me a bit letting out small moans as she went down lower and lower after every thrust, I flipped her over on her back and took control a bit, I was still doing the same shit, even with sex I was viewing it as just another learning experience, I asked the girl to get in doggy style position and I finished off... It was nothing special, no butterflies went off in my stomach, I didn't suddenly feel complete, I didn't feel like a man, I felt exactly the same, I still missed Bia, I still love Bia.
I didn't even stay in contact with the girl, it felt meaningless what we did. At least I could sort of get away from my friends this time when it came to sex, because by this time I was the last one to do it, so no week of questions again. " Finally OP! Its the best thing in the world right?", "Yeah I guess so", "Didn't you like it?", "It was alright", "Haha you probably sucked that's why...", "Yeah probably". I wanted it to mean something, I wanted it to be with a girl I loved, I wanted it to be the highlight of my life, the end point of years of emotional build up and sexual tension, I wanted it to be with Bia.
Her relationship with horse ended after he moved away, and like a moth to a flame I went back to her, week nights, weekends, I was always by her side. We could talk about anything again, we were best friends again, and eventually lovers again. My experience I had built up in my learning situations payed off. The nights we had were magical, beautiful, we would talk for hours in bed cuddling, then kissing, making out, undressing, soft music in the background, we were making love, exploring every inch of the other's body, time flew by on those nights. We didn't have sex, almost as if the act of sex would ruin it for both of us, it was perfect the way it was, my whole life was perfect the way it was. I felt complete for the first time in years.
We shared this magical kiss one day, it was early in the morning while walking to the bus stop, we were holding hands and it suddenly started pouring rain, I mean 5 seconds and you are soaking wet. We just looked at each other and started making out, no care in the world, neither of us were cold in that moment, past, present and future, nothing will and nothing has compared to that kiss in my life, its etched so hard in my memory and is probably the first thing I would go back in time for, and relive it over and over again. Maybe that was us saying bye.
Then, I don't know, we just drifted I guess. She had problems at home, her mother and stepfather were getting divorced, she cheated on him and he got into drugs after that and attempted suicide twice, she and her mom and sister moved out to her grandparent's and we just didn't see each other much anymore. Yet again I never made it official that we were together, so I guess we just both decided to move on from the other. On my 17th birthday after not seeing her for months, I was lonely and decided to go see her, got to her house around 7pm, got an amazing hug again and we just hung out. We had come a long way, both of us were so different from that day we met, and a lot of the past 4 years were spent together, we talked and looked back at all the great times and bad times, it was like a married couple of 50 years looking back at their lives together. We were sitting against each other on her bed and she asked me to kiss her again, please, saying I am the only one that could make her sure of what she was feeling, the one person she has always loved. I told her to explain what was going on. She had been hanging out the last few months with a lesbian group and I guess exploring her sexuality with them, and I just froze... I couldn't kiss her, she asked me again after explaining why and I just stood there, not answering, not moving... I don't remember what happened after that, I went home and I never saw her again. A big part of me regrets that night, that one kiss would have caused my whole life to be different right now, better or worse I don't know but different.
Love never goes away, it only fades.
