Learning to BehaveA Story by Aimee HoltI locked my foot into
the small gap between the tree and its branch; I pushed myself higher and
higher until I reached the leafy canopy.
I glanced down and Peter was slowly climbing up, trying to mirror my
moves but he was sweating with fear. He
came from the town and didn’t even live near a park; the only experience of
being in the countryside was on the few occasions his mother allowed him to
visit my house. She liked to keep a
close eye on him at all times but now she was dead he practically lived at my
place. He dropped out of school and went
to work with my dad to learn how to cut down trees. “Is
it safe up there Tom?” He called out,
trying to mask his terror of heights by talking. It was a defence mechanism that kicked in and
always had done. Well all the time I had
known him anyway. I remember once when
one of the boys at school had tried to fight him and ended up walking away in
frustration because Peter wouldn’t shut up. “Its
fine you silly boy! It’s amazing what
you can see from up here. In fact, I can
see right into Mog’s bedroom window!” I
replied smirking. I heard a lot of
scrabbling and very quickly Peter was sat beside me. He tried to cover my eyes with his stained green
hands but I batted them away and slipped back on the branch slightly. His arms shot out and prevented me from
falling off. We both stared at each in
other in shock for a while before looking at Mog’s window again. I could have died just then but there we were
staring back at a girl’s bedroom. Peter
made a noise I wasn’t sure I liked and then I realised Mog was undressing. I turned away, not because Peter fancied her
but because girls did not do it for me.
I was a seventeen year old boy and I didn’t want to look at half naked
girls. What I did notice though was how
rugged Peter had become since he started working for my dad. He clearly wasn’t bothered though; his eyes
were fastened to the window where Mog had now got her tits out. I sighed and took a worn tobacco pouch
out of my faded black jeans and began rolling a cigarette. I decided to look at how the clouds seem to
stain the brilliant blue sky and tried to remember if I had any coursework due
in on Monday. “She’s
perfect! Oh man look at the shape of
them and everything!” Peter groaned. I handed him my roll up. “Calm down!
It’s like you’ve never seen a pair of tits before!” “I
so have!” A red hue crept over his face. “Have
you?” “Maybe,
yeah.” “You
so haven’t, well then what do I hear you tugging off to every night?” “You
hear me? I thought I was quiet and yeah
I just got some porn magazines and stuff.” “Yeah,
right!” “Have
too, anyway doesn’t matter because I can see real ones right now.” “Are
you guna screw her?” “Hell
yeah! The things I would do to that
girl! She wouldn’t know...” Peter continued
to witter on and I took a sneaky glance at his package. Nothing was happening down there. I looked up at him again and he was acting
out how he would grab hold of her and making signs with his fingers. Now I knew Peter well and he usually got a
stiffy when talking about something he really liked. If you talked about cake he would get
one. It must be all the testosterone
thundering around his muscular body. “Well
what’s wrong with your junk then? You’d
have to get it up to be able to do what you just said.” I questioned, flatly. “What? You were looking?” “Yeah,
since you were so convinced about seeing a real pair of b***s I thought I would
have to warn you about poking yourself in the eye.” “Yeah
well, I’m just tired today, that’s all it is.” “Alright
then.” I flicked my f*g to the floor and
began rolling another one. Suddenly
Peter flung himself at me, forgetting we were on a tree branch. I held on for dear life as his mouth crashed
against mine; I felt his stubble rub fiercely against my chin and his hands
scrabbling at my trousers. Finally he
broke in and tore them down with my boxers and moved his head southwards. There was nothing I could do apart from lay
there and enjoy it; if I had moved I would have fallen out of the tree. I didn’t know what to think. Was this just him using me to explore his
sexuality or did he really have feelings for me. My thoughts were shaken up as he finished and
dragged me closer to the trunk of the tree and flipped me over. I lay on my branch as he pounded against me,
not quite believing what was happening.
I enjoyed the view immensely, amongst other things. I noticed how pretty the sea looked as it
curved round the cliffs. The contrast of
milky blue and dirty white of the cliffs was perfect. There was a loud bellowing as Peter
expressed himself before collapsing back onto the other branch. I wriggled into my trousers and perched
carefully on my branch; I was slightly concerned that it might be a little fragile
after what had just happened. “What
was that?” “I
needed to " I have wanted to for a long time!” “How
did you know I wanted to as well?” “Well,
to be honest I didn’t really care I just thought you would push me away if you
didn’t want to!” “Lucky
I didn’t then, eh?” “What
happens now, I mean, your dad doesn’t even know we are gay! What if he kicks us out?” “We
just won’t tell him. It would probably
be a good idea for you to ask out Mog so it’s less suspicious.” “Alright
then but I never asked you, how come you never said anything before?” “Probably
the same reason you didn’t! I was scared
and because you went on and on about Mog I thought you were straight!” “I
don’t know maybe I like both or I was trying not to like you! I don’t know whatever but I’m going to go
down and ask Mog out. Then she can sleep
round and if your dad hears anything he will think it’s with her!” “Yeah,
we’re like benders-behaving-badly!” I
laughed. After Peter had slowly descended the
tree, I found my tobacco pouch and rolled another cigarette, seeing as my last
one got thrown into the air. I thought
about Peter and why I never saw any signs before and how weird it was that
everything I had dreamed of happened so quickly. I sighed and stared over to the downs where
the sheep looked like little black dots in the green. Soon after I scrambled down and headed
home. That night Mog did stay round and
Peter welcomed comments from my dad, such as, ‘well done lad!’ and ‘I hope
you’ll give her a good seeing to!’ and ‘Look at the backside on that!’ I let them wash over me as I knew what was
really going on. We had a feast for
dinner, of chicken and beef and lamb with all the trimmings; huge golden
Yorkshire puddings and runner beans from the garden. Mum had done well but only because dad wanted
to celebrate one of us having a lady round.
I watched mum as we ate and she seemed to swallow the painful comments
dad made, just as I did my dinner. When I was time for pudding, mum produced a
massive apple crumble and an old ceramic jug of custard. I could see the bags under her eyes and her
tear stained cheeks. Dad had got the
cider out again. I noticed how thin she
had become and how she always wore long tops and trousers so that only her face
and hands were on display. She must be
cold now she didn’t have any padding on her. When I was in bed later on that night,
I could hear dad snoring loudly. My
bedroom door opened slightly and Peter slid through the gap before shutting it
behind him. He ripped the covers back
off the bed and my pyjamas off before getting to it. Afterwards he lay beside me and took my hand. “Is
Mog okay?” I whispered. “Yeah,
I had to do the deed with her you know, just so she was happy.” “You
actually screwed her? After what we did
today! What the hell man she was meant
to be a decoy not an actual girlfriend!” “She
started crying and I didn’t know what to do!” “What
so you think shoving yourself in her is going to make it better?” “I
thought she was crying because we weren’t doing it!” “She
was probably upset because you weren’t paying her any attention and dad was
acting disgustingly at dinner! I saw how
bad mum was and she knows what he is like!
Poor Mog has no idea and she has been dropped in at the deep end! I thought you were going to just cuddle her
until she fell asleep or whatever!” “I
had no idea what to do! I’ve never had a
girlfriend before; I’m not as sensitive as you, Tom!” “Look,
just go and hold her or something, tell her she’s beautiful and stuff!” “Okay! Okay!”
Peter hurried out of my room, with his hands covering his modesty. The next morning over breakfast, we
decided to visit the local park. Mog
trailed along with us; she was walking a bit funny. I hazarded a guess that she was a virgin
yesterday and this made me feel even worse.
I bet she wanted her first time to be the classic, movie type of
scenario. We finally got to the park there was
some new kids on the swings. We
sauntered over to get a better look; it was just a bunch of idiots messing
around. They looked the same age as us
but didn’t look worth our time. Before
we turned to go I noticed a girl out of the corner of my eye. She parted the group as we walked off. “Oi!” She called and we all turned around. “What?” I sneered back and taking a good look at
her. She was stunning with tanned skin
and black hair pulled up on top of her head.
Her brown eyes glittered dangerously.
I felt something stir in my underwear.
This had never happened before, she was a girl! I liked men!
She was absolutely beautiful though and the thoughts that came into my
head definitely weren’t gay! “Come
here!” She pointed at me with a long,
red fingernail. I walked towards her and
she grabbed the front of my shirt. “You
look pretty tasty to me!” She hissed. I could smell fruity alcohol on her breath. It must have been one of those cheap ones but
it smelt fantastic coming from her mouth.
She pushed me backwards and pulled a silver cigarette box from her
pocket. She flipped it open with one
hand and pulled a f*g out with her teeth.
Someone chucked her a lighter and she sparked up before slipping it into
her bra. Her tits were perfect as they
spilled over her strapless top. I had to
pretend to look for something in my bag and use it to cover myself. She strutted back over to me in her leopard
print heels and slipped a bit of paper into my top pocket. Before winking and walking away, I watched
her arse until she disappeared through the gate. “What
a poser, eh?” Peter laughed and took
Mog’s hand; she looked distraught from the previous event. “We are just off home mate. Give me a call if you need me!” Peter obviously thought Mog needed her dose
of emotional strength that came in the form of his penis. I shook my head and said goodbye. When I was sure they were gone, I reached
into my pocket and pulled out the piece of paper the girl left in my
pocket. She wanted to meet me in the
woods now and her name was Cindy. I had
never come across a girl like this before; she was nothing like the girls at
school. Peter didn’t have to know; after
all he was currently occupied. I wandered over to the part of the
wood where the trees were the thickest and lent against the rough bark. I realised I was just behind my house and I
could see the soft orange glow from the living room lights. “Hey
stranger!” Cindy called. As she walked towards me she pulled her top
over her head and revealed the tiniest piece of material I have ever seen
around her ample tits. I ran my hands
over her bare skin. She felt so much
softer than Peter did and when she kissed me it was gentle. Suddenly I heard a scream that made the hands
on the back of my neck stand up. I
pushed Cindy away. “What the hell was
that?” I turned towards my house and
immediately thought of mum. I
shouted my apologies to Cindy as I ran to the front door. I vaulted over the vile green fence and
slammed through the front door. I found
dad stood dumbstruck with a frying pan in his hand and mum lying in a pool of
blood on the floor. © 2012 Aimee HoltReviews
