Cherry - S01 E22

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22

Once I was in the car, I began to reflect on my amazing night with the Love of my life. It was the best, most exciting and simultaneously scary night of my life, but something was bothering me and I didn't know what it was. I knew it was something that was said, but as I went over it in my head, nothing was 'Jumping out at me.

I entered my apartment and went to get a change of clothes; still unable to shake the thought that something was 'wrong'. I was thinking about how we didn't use any birth control, but that shouldn't be a problem since she said her period was four days away at the most. Four days isn't long enough for an egg to be fertilized and implant itself before her period comes; so that wasn't it.

I changed and flopped down on my bed, lost in thought. I could still smell Cherry's scent on me-her perfume was so light yet sweet. But I could also smell her sex on me. That was strange since we both had a shower already. Then I remembered something: her panties hanging on my headboard. That's when the missing pieces clicked into place. Unprotected sex when four days away from her period is fairly safe, but SEVEN days is pushing it! Especially when she is still in her teens-girls her age often have a 'wider window' for being able to conceive and have a viable pregnancy. And if she was off her schedule even by a day or two, we would have a serious problem!

The thought of pregnancy was of no real concern to me when we first had sex because I didri't know then what I knew now (after the conversation with her Mom). I had mixed emotions at the possible predicament we could be facing. My first thoughts were of how awful it would be for Cherry to have to face her entire school as they watched her stomach grow, telling the story for her about the details of her personal life. Her true friends would be supportive, but so many more would ridicule her and say nasty things behind her back (or even to her face). She would have to quit the cheerleading team that she loved so much. Of course, she would have my complete support! I would do anything and everything to make sure she and our baby were taken care of. And I couldn't imagine anyone I'd rather have as the mother of my child-it was just not the right time.

I was wrestling with my thoughts all day when I got a text from Cherry. I hadn't even realized it was mid-afternoon.

Her text said, "Just got out of school. What did you do today (besides me)? LOL

I texted back, 'Just thought about you all day. Cherry sent me a smiley face and a heart.

I sent back, "?4U... You said 3 to 4 days away, right?"

"?' was her response.

I replied, 'until you get your..."friend".

Understanding she texted, "Oh, yeah. Y?"

Because 3 days ago...!'

Instead of a text, my phone rang. Seeing it was her, I answered saying, "Hey..."

Cherry's voice had a smile to it as she said, "You are so crazy! Did you forget? Three days ago was my first time!"

Not understanding what her point was, said, "What does that mean?"

She explained her logic, "You can't get pregnant when it's your first time!"

My heart sunk to have to tell her, "Cherry-babe-you absolutely CAN get pregnant your first time. It happens all of the time."

Still neither convinced nor worried, she asked, "Are you sure?"

I said, "Yeah, I'm sure."

Cherry thought for a moment before saying matter-of-fact, "Well, if I'm pregnant, I'm pregnant. And hopefully Mom will wait until after I have the baby before she kills me! Seriously, though: don't worry about it for now. We'll know in a few days and we'll go from there. OK?"

I just said, "Ok," not sure if she was simply putting on a brave face or if she was truly not worried. Either way, I admired her for her reaction.

Changing the subject, she asked, "Are you still coming to the game tonight?"

Almost laughing I said, "YEAHI Of course! I wouldn't miss it."

"The game starts at 7:00, but you can show up earlier if you want.

It's $5 to get in."

I joked, "I think I can come up with that much cash on short notice.

I'll sell some of my stuff if I have to..."

"Funny guy... Oh, here comes my Mom; I gotta go."

We quickly said our 'goodbyes' and told each other 'I Love you'

before ending the call. Once off of the phone, I was already

anxious to see her again. Even though I knew it was too soon, I got ready for the game and left.

I parked roughly in the middle of the school parking lot. There were plenty of open spaces a lot closer to the gate (I was one of the few cars in the lot), but I didn't want my car to start catching the attention of Cherry's Morn-I figured that by the time she came to get Cherry, the lot would be full and my car would 'blend in'. And just in case her Mom dropped her off, I stayed in the car so that I wouldn't be standing out by the ticket stands when she drove by. Trying to make time pass quickly while sitting alone in a parked car is difficult, but it helps if you have a smart phone with a few stupid games on it.

Sometime later, the parking lot was about 20% full and I received a text from Cherry.

I'm @school. When can you get here?'

I texted back, 'I'll be there in... two hours agol'

"???? R U here?!"

I sent her a smiley face with a big grin, indicating 'yes'.

She replied, 'OMG! Where?!"

'Right in the middle of the parking lot. 1 cur

Seemingly out of nowhere, I saw Cherry running the way only a girl can run when she is excited-more of a trotting, skipping run with her hands hooked together-towards me. I couldn't contain my grin while I watched as her ponytail bounced and flew in the air rushing past and how her short uniform skirt mimicked her hair. She didn't even slow down as she got close to my car. Electing to use it to stop her momentum, my rock rocked to the side with a thud as Cherry attempted to tackle my car. I was still reaching for

the door handle when Cherry beat me to it and opened my door. She helped pull me out of the car and planted a firm kiss on me for a few seconds before she broke it to look around. She explained that "PDA" (Public Displays of Affection) was not allowed while in her uniform and she was making sure no one saw her.

We walked back in the direction she came from and sat on a bench to talk.

She said, "Last night and this morning was amazing. And I'm glad you fell asleep with me, that was so romantic."

"YOU are amazing. And I was sure we were going to be busted

when your Mom woke you up and wanted you to open the door. Nice cover story, by the way," I said.

Cherry agreed and said, "UGH! That was SO embarrassing! I wasn't even masturbating!"

I said, "No, but it was the perfect, acceptable explanation and she bought it. Besides, it was better than telling the truth!"

"Yeah, well, you didn't hear the conversation after left you in my room

"I heard the first part of it... You two were still talking about it on the way to the car," I laughed.
