Over the course of the next few weeks, Jackson, Evan, Carl, and Jackie would hang out after school together at the center. Jackie even joined in on a couple of two-on-two basketball games. She wasn't as good as the boys, but she could play a good close game. Jackie would accidentally touch Carl or brush against him whenever she could.


To Jackie, it was weird; she had never once thought about a relationship, let alone sex, before meeting Carl. Once she met him, it was crazy how often she thought about it. Sex with Carl, losing her virginity to Carl, it was crazy, right?


Jackie learned over those weeks that Carl was born and raised here. He was one of seven kids, and he lived outside town on a small farm. Jackie came to realize her Carl was just a small-town, good ol' country boy. She also realized she loved that.


One day at the center, Jackson, Evan, and Jackie were talking, waiting for Carl to get there, and Jackie mentioned really liking Carl. Jackson and Evan both acted like they had no idea she did. She could only laugh and shake her head.


"Hey, Jack, maybe you should go swimming when Carl gets here," Jackson suggested.


"Why would I go swimming, Jackson? What good would that do?" Jackie didn't understand the suggestion. "That would be rude. 'Hey, Carl, I'm going swimming.' 'Bye, Carl.' Then just leave him sitting here with you two clowns?" Jackie laughed and pointed a finger at the two of them.


"You think you're funny, Jack. But yeah, wait till he gets here. Wait a bit. Say hi, talk for a few, then get up and be like, man, I wanna go for a swim, just like that. Ask if he's coming and walk off," Jackson said as he waved his arms towards the pool.


"Yeah, you think?" Jackie asked, thinking of being alone with Carl. Hmm, what do you think he looks like under his shorts? Oh my god, Jackie, stop. "You think he'd actually join me?" Jackie


Jackson laughed and grinned. "He will after I tell him you want to jump his bone". Jackie gasped.


"Jackson, seriously, you are crazy. Yeah, I do, but come on, he won't buy that. We aren't even dating, and quite frankly, I doubt we ever will. I am a NOBODY, and he is way out of my league. Even if I wanted sex with him." You do want sex with him. You want to have his babies. Jackie shook her head. "He doesn't want me anyway."


"Dude, seriously, Jack, how do you know that?" Jackson asked. He had a point she didn't know. Jackie's heart raced as she really considered trying to lose her virginity to Carl. In a pool? Jackie groaned and threw up her hands.


"God, this is such a bad idea," she laughed. "But okay, when he gets here, I'll try and play it cool and go for a swim." Jackie put her face in her hands. "Oh my god, I am crazy." She practically screamed into her hands.


Jackson and Evan laughed. "Seriously, Jack, the worst that could happen is he says no, right?" He had a point.


"Hell, he may even think you were just joking and messing with his head," Evan suggested.


Evan had a good point, too. Worst outcome, I end up swimming a few laps. Carl thinks he's getting played, and he is none the wiser that I am in love with him. Jackie sat there, dumbfounded in her thoughts. Could I?


Any minute now, Carl would be showing up, and Jackie was nervous. So nervous she felt like she would puke. There he was, Jackie spotted him walking towards the center doors. Her stomach turned, her heart jumped, and her sex twitched.


Oh my god, I am insane. Am I seriously going to try this with him? Jackie was arguing with herself. Hell, Jackie, you know you want it to happen. Hell, you'd be happy with second or third base. A home run doesn't have to happen today. Carl pulled Jackie back to reality when he touched her shoulder.


"Hey, Jack, let me in," Carl said. Oh, baby, I'll let you in, alright, Jackie thought as she got up.


"Yeah, sure, slide in." Jackie was actually going to try this with Jackson and Evan's help.


The four sat and talked and joked for a few minutes. Jackie felt sick to her stomach. Okay, Jackie, you can do this. Just be cool, Jack. Just be cool. Jackie sighed and stretched big, pushing her 34B boobs forward, hoping to catch Carl's eye.


"Okay, boys, y'all are off your games today," Jackie jokingly said and stood up. "I'm going to get half-naked and go play in the pool." Jesus, Jackie, really? Half-naked? Lord, have mercy. She spun quickly on her heel and headed to the pool locker room.


Jackie sat in the locker room for a minute, trying to calm her nerves. "Half-naked?" Jackie shook her head, talking out loud. "Really, Jack? Half-naked? Really?" Jackie sighed and changed into her swimsuit, and headed for the poolside. She deliberately walked in front of the double glass doors that looked out over the boys. They were looking her way. Jackie laid her towel down, walked to the edge, and dove into the pool.


Woman, you are insane.
