Young Love
Short story based on the Nursery Rhyme 'Georgie Porgie'.
Georgie Porgie pudding and pie,
Kissed the girls and made them cry
When the boys came out to play
Georgie Porgie ran away.
Jess
He was the Player of our year; he was gorgeous and could get almost any girl he wanted, so that's exactly what he did. He went out with a girl for a couple of days, slept with her and dumped her leaving her broken-hearted with tears streaming down her face. It was as simple as that. A cycle that hadn't ended for the past two years. Fortunately, I was not one of those girls.
As Meg and I entered the party we scanned the room, I heard Meg snort and swiveled to see what she had spotted. Surprise, there was George lying back on a couch with... with my sister straddling him! Katie was three years younger than us, inexperienced and apparently completely ignorant about whom she was getting with. I saw her slowly pull away from him, grab his hand and start to drag him up the stairway; he smirked and allowed her to pull him through the crowd of people whilst blatantly staring at her ass. I stormed over and started dragging her away from him, placing myself between the two.
"Katie, get out of here and into the car."I said, pressing the keys into her palm, she started to protest but I cut her off, "Now Katie." I shot her a look that plainly said she'd be in big trouble if she didn't. She glared at me but made her way sulkily through the crowd and out the door.
"For fucks sake George, can you not keep your hands to yourself for one night?! How dare you!? She's fifteen for God's sake, she's underage and she is my little sister!!" He just rolled his eyes, and stared at me dully.
"Get a grip Jess. I'm not completely stupid, I wasn't going to have sex with her."
"It bloody well looked like it!" I screamed over the pounding music.
"How was I supposed to know she was your little sister? And anyway, she looks older than she is. I didn't realize she was only fifteen." He swore,
"AHA! So, you were going to try to sleep with her!" I pushed him against the wall and held him by his throat, my nails digging in enough to break his skin. "You touch her again and I swear you'll regret it." I growled, our faces were so close our noses were almost touching. He was slightly surprised by my sudden aggression but that was soon replaced by a scowl, I shoved away from him and turned to walk out, but he took my arm and pulled me against him, his hand was at the back of my neck and suddenly his lips were pressed against mine. I tried to pull away but his other hand wound around my waist holding me in place. I couldn't get away, he was too strong. Then finally he loosened his grip and pulled away but only slightly, only enough so that his lips were hovering inches away from mine.
"So," he murmured, his breath caressing my swollen lips, "you still mad?"
I stared in shock, I recovered enough to attempt a scowl and nod before he tenderly bit my lower lip and turned so my back was now against the wall. A false moan escaped my lips causing him to grin and pull away, placing his palms either side of my head but all too soon that grin was replaced by a grimace as my knee smashed into his groin and my fist connected with his eye.
"Yes, I am still mad and you should get your head out of your own ass sometime soon because it's almost lost up there." With that I strode away and out the door, leaving him curled in a ball, moaning on the floor.
"Hey, Ash, Meg." I called for them to follow me outside, "make sure he's alright please, well get him off the floor at least. He looks a bit pathetic lying there and I doubt he'll move without help." They laughed and just nodded, making their way back into the party.
Damnit. I wish he hadn't done that. We were close friends in actuality because we had never slept together, he had never offered and I was not interested, but George. Ugh, he had to go and ruin it, didn't he? First by getting with my sister and then by trying something with me, couldn't he just settle for one girl and stop trying to get into everyone's pants! I'll bet he was already trying something with another girl. My eyes started to dampen at that thought, startled I quickly wiped them away on my jacket. I sighed and got into the car. Starting the ignition, I turned up the radio to drown out my sisters complaining and concentrated on getting home.
George
I groaned and looked up to see two girls bending down by my side, both stunning but the one I wanted had already stormed out the door. The two girls, who I thought were called Ashley and Megan, helped me sit up, pretty much carrying me to a chair.
"Thanks," I sighed, sinking into the big arm-chair.
Both of them just smirked, "Don't thank us, we're only helping because-" Megan nudged Ashley getting her to shut up
"Because you looked really pathetic lying there all beaten up by a girl." Megan finished, I frowned. That was obviously not what she was going to say but before I could ask, they had wandered off and back into the crowd.
--
I fell back onto my bed and shut my eyes. Tonight had to be one of the worst nights of my life. I was never going to get her. I couldn't believe what had happened; I had tried to get with her sister and kissed her at the worst possible moment. What an idiot! I doubt there is anything I could do to make matters. Staring at my deep blue ceiling, I vowed to myself that I'd change, for her. She was what I wanted and so I would stop being so sleazy and shallow, I wouldn't kiss any girl unless it was her and I would become someone who was worthy of her.
--
Next day was Sunday. It would be a whole day before I'd get to see her, but I could put my plan into action straight away. I changed and made my way out to my red convertible, I was going into town to buy her a 'Forgive Me' Present. I wandered for hours not knowing what to buy for her until I was walking past a small jewelry store. Through the window I saw Jess gazing at a small silver locket, I saw her chest fall as she sighed and placed it back on its shelf, she then turned to her friend who was taking a small brown paper bag off the counter. I saw them both quickly look into the bag and then start towards the door, quickly walking down a side street I watched them as they walked out and wandered off down the street. I smiled to myself, it looked as though I'd found the perfect gift.
--
I took a deep breath and walked over to her, she was sitting beneath one of the large trees on the outskirts of the college. She looked up as she heard footsteps coming towards her, when she saw me something flashed across her face... Shock? Hurt? But it was quickly replaced by a scowl.
"What do you want?" She asked shortly.
"Give me a chance to explain will you."
She studied me for a moment, "Fine, but I really doubt there is anything you could say to make me feel better."
"Thank you, firstly I'm so sorry about the other night. I would never, ever have tried anything with her if I'd known she was your sister. No matter how old, and I wasn't going to sleep with her anyway. I haven't slept with a girl for... well, since I fell for someone." Her eyebrows rose when I stated the last fact and once again that emotion flashed across her face.
"And secondly, I got this for you. It's not much, but I saw it and thought you might like it so..." I trailed off and held out the small red box. She stood and took the gift almost gingerly out of my hand. I watched and she tilted her head curiously to the side, and opened the box. She let out a small gasp and simply stared.
"How... How did you know?" She asked in amazement.
"You see Jess, I have this problem. I like a girl, and I've been a complete idiot in my ways to get her... So, yesterday I went into town to try to find something for her and I walked around for hours but just couldn't find the perfect gift but then I saw her in a shop staring at a little silver locket. She put it back on the shelf and left, and so I went in and bought it for her and now I'm hoping that it proves to her that she means a lot to me..." All through this speech I had been staring at the ground where my feet were scuffling mud, I glanced up and saw her staring at me, something in her eyes kept mine locked with hers. She stayed silent, just staring at me until,
"I... George... I don't know what to say. You seem so sincere but I've seen you with other girls and the way you acted the other night-"
"-all I'm asking for is a chance. Please Jess, one chance." She bit her lip, she seemed to be considering it.
"Please, don't hurt me George... Please." She pleaded; I let out a shaky breath and took her into my arms.
"Don't worry, there's no way I'm screwing this up" I flashed my
best smile at her and a small one quirked her lips.
"I certainly hope not, Georgey Porgie." I laughed at the old nickname and pressed my lips softly into hers. I felt a trickle of water hit my mouth and I warily pulled away to see tears dampening her cheeks.
"Don't cry Jess, why are you crying..?"
"Happiness Georgie, no need to worry." Her lips pulling up at the edges into a smile. In the distance I heard a bell ring, and I grimaced as I saw Jess's brother and his cronies walk out of the college gates.
"I should go... Your brother already wants to beat me to a pulp..."
"No, not this time George. This time you don't run." She took my hand and led me towards the gang of guys. I was slowly filling with dread, betting I'd regret coming over.
I did regret it. I regretted it in a hospital bed, whilst coming round to consciousness. All I could think was, I knew I should have run, at least that was all I could think until I felt a hand gripping mine. I tilted my head to the side to see Jess, staring worriedly at my face. It was then, while she was staring into my heart that I knew I'd never run again - because her, everything was because of her - for her.
