Popping the Question

"Can I ask you a question?" Logan asked looking over at Sharon. He was almost mesmerized by the sight he saw before him. Her bright green eyes shined as she looked at him, her flaming red hair splayed over the pillow, a stray strand trailing over her cheek. His eyes darting down to her heaving chest, her bare breast inviting him to take another taste of them.

Sharon nodded as she trailed a fingernail across his chest.

"I.." Logan took a deep breath and took the leap "I want to go steady... I want you to be my girl, my girlfriend." A sense of relief flowed through him 'There I said it, now she says yes' he thought.

"Aww Loggy... ” she moaned, “But we're sooo good just like we are right now," Sharon almost seemed to whine. "We're having so much fun, why do you want to change it?"

"But think about how much fun we'll have if we're together," Logan said in surprise. This wasn’t what he expected. True, the two other times he had asked her to be his girlfriend she had said something similar but he had hoped this time it would be different.

"But Loggy…" Sharon whined "What about all the fun we'll be missing out? High School is about going to parties, hanging out, having fun, and not getting stuck in a boring relationship like Jake and Alice! What Crap! They look like a couple of old fogies. I bet they're just sitting up there reading a book before sleeping. Shit that is so boring." She cocked her head and for a minute they both thought they heard noises coming from the ceiling. "At least Charlie is having fun up there with that one. I know I know, she's with Charlie." Sharon added raising a hand in surrender before Logan could repeat his protest about going after his friend's girl. "You'd be doing him a favor getting rid of her."

Logan was almost speechless, he had hoped that seeing how happy Jake and Alice were together she might reconsider the whole dating scene. Now it looked like it actually hurt his chances with Sharon. He felt his stomach begin to tie itself in a knot as he desperately looked to a new approach, he couldn't just give u like this. 'There has to be a way' he thought

"Besides, you're going to college soon. Then what? We're going to break up right? Cause that's what's going to happen. I mean, you know, you're going to some fancy Uni on the other side of the country and I'm just going to get stuck here." she added giving him an adorable pout.

"You could come with me?" Logan offered, grasping at straws and trying to turn around the conversation and convince her that there wasn't any real reason they should be apart.

"And what would I do?" Sharon scoffed. "You'll be with all those smart rich kids and I'd just be the charity case they all make fun of behind your back. I'd just be a drag on you and they wouldn't respect you. Nop! No Way Jose!" She said before changing to a more sultry tone, her hand drifting down to trace the vein on his limp cock making it twitch, "Besides, If I go with you then you would miss out on all those frat parties, and banging all those hot college sluts... think of all those delicious tight pussies begging for your big cock. Don't you want to fuck all those tight pussies with your big cock? Just imagine all those sluts begging for your cock to ruin them for everyone else?"

Logan couldn't help but feel his cock stir in her hand at the idea of fucking all those college girls. He briefly felt guilty for entertaining the fantasy Sharon was weaving for him. It felt too much like what his Uncle Robert would do and not what his father would do. Still, he couldn't banish the thoughts from his mind and his imagination kept resurrecting some of his fantasies about having sex with more than one girl. A memory of the collage porn movie he had seen with Charlie flashed in his mind, a threesome with two blondes and one guy. He felt his cock quickly harden in Sharon's soft hands as she started to stroke his cock and brush her fingertips over his balls.

But still, seeing Sharon's beautiful naked body right in front of him made him want to give it another try "C'mon! It's not that bad!" Logan said hopefully. "We can still have fun, AND go to parties AND do all the things that you want to do. We could go to ALL those parties and not have to go sneaking around anymore!" Logan said brushing her lips with his thumb. "Just think of all the yummy things we could do together, all the places we could go..."

Sharon tilted her head thinking about it "Maybe..." she conceded and watched the troubled look on Logan's face as she rolled his balls in her fingers. "I got an idea, Why don't we just see how the week goes?" Sharon offered, stroking Logan´s stiffening cock "Let's have all the fun that you want, and then let's see about it," she purred into his ear while she pumped his cock, "I'll help you get Scarlett... maybe even Delilah" she added biting his lip "maybe both for you..."

Scarlett sat in the bed next to Duncan for a few minutes listening to some music with her headphones while Duncan scrolled through his tablet. She was trying to tune out the sounds coming from the other room that kept poking at her even as she tried to shut them out. She replayed in her mind Duncan's words before their tryst and something kept bugging her.

Scarlett took off her headphones and turned to Duncan, "Can I ask you a question?" she asked.

Duncan put aside the tablet and headphones and shrugged, "Shoot." he said looking at her.

"What is going on?" she asked him tilting her head to the other room. "and don't give me that crap of helping Logan."

Duncan shrugged dismissively and said "It's true. Logan wanted to ask Sharon to go steady. We talked and he thought that if there were some happy couples she might think it was a good idea."

"Oh Really?" Scarlett said sarcastically "He needs help? Good thing you told me that shy Logan needs help with a girl." she added gesturing to the next room.

"So Deep!" they heard Sharon cry out.

"Cause it doesn't look like she's really into him," Scarlet glared at him.

"AHH!!" they heard Logan this time.

"And he's really having trouble connecting with her," Scarlett snickered and Duncan joined in to laugh with her. They looked at each other for a few moments before Scarlett spoke again "So why did you ask if I wanted to be with Logan or Charlie? And why are we really here?" Scarlett added while they looked at each other. They had been close friends for a long time and Scarlett knew there was something Duncan wasn't saying, she just didn't know what. Duncan also knew that she would know if he tried to feed her a bullshit answer. He just wondered how much he could get away with.

"Okay," Duncan said with a huff, "Thing is... he's asked her to go steady before and she said no. Both times. He thinks that if she sees a happy couple then she might warm up to the idea. Charlie's hooking up with Delilah but they're not 'official'. Jake and Alice are 'official' and... we are just 'pretending'." he added.

"Well Duh! They all know we're not a thing. Only Grace would ever think that!" Scarlett said annoyed at her friend, "And...?" she added waving her hand, beckoning him to spill it out.

Duncan took a deep breath before he continued, "And I don't think she'll say yes." he debated if he should tell Scarlett he suspected that Sharon and Charlie might have done something in the parking lot. "I think she might have...." he decided to let that statement hang in the air and let her make her own ideas about what he meant.

"Oh..." Sharon said thinking she got where he was heading, "So you think, that when she says no you'll have a chance with her? Let me guess, you want me to distract Logan so you can make a move? Is that what you think? Is that what I am to you?"

"No no no," Duncan said defensively trying to steer the conversation away, "That's not what I meant. I meant that this is a chance to restart the band. You guys broke up but maybe you could start a new group?" he offered quickly, "C'mon you know you want to play again in a band. This could be your chance Scar! You two looked pretty good on stage and the crowd loved you, maybe you two could start something, You know there are not many duets groups, you could be big." he hurried to add. Scarlett squinted her eyes at him.

"And besides" Duncan hurried to add. "You know Ravers got that Blue Lion Media group that could really help you launch your career and..."

"YOU WANT ME TO!" Scarlett started to yell before she caught herself and continued in a whisper "you want me to play nice with Logan so he can make me famous! Are you crazy!? Why don't you just tell me to fuck him!? Maybe his uncle too!? I wanna make it on my own! Not because I fucked my way up!"

"Geez relax! You don't have to chew my head off." Duncan said defensively" It's just that you looked so happy up there on stage. Don´t tell me you don't miss it. I just wanted to help you start another band and I thought that... you know..." he trailed off.

"Yeeeaaa right. You start that again and I'll start calling you Duncan Donuts again!" Scarlett snorted reminding Duncan of the nickname she had tormented him when they were kids and that she knew he hated.

"Okay okay," Duncan repeated himself "I won't say anything else. I´m sorry I said it all wrong, I never meant to say you should fuck him to make it. It's, just... saw you so happy up there on stage with Logan and everyone really liked the show you guys put on and you two really seemed to click up there. Sorry, you took it all wrong about hooking up with Logan." He went back to reading his tablet and after a few moments he added "But I like the way you think."

"Smack" was the sound heard when Scarlett hit him in the back of his head.

"Ouch!" Duncan winched and then laughed with Scarlett.

"Oops! It was a spider!" Scarlett laughed with Duncan, before putting her headphone on again.

the two friends went back to their own worlds and after a few more minutes Scarlett almost absent-mindedly said "So you want me to distract Charlie so you and Delilah can finish what you started?"

"Mhum" Duncan nodded absentmindedly in agreement as he continued to read from his tablet.

"Smack" Scarlett hit him again in the back of his head and laughed "I knew it! Duncan Donuts wants some chocolate toppings."

Duncan just chuckled and laughed with Scarlett a bit relieved that she took it so well.

Still, Scarlett found it hard to fall asleep, there were too many things in her head. Duncan practically admitted that Sharon was either stringing Logan along for the ride or she was cheating on him. 'Is it cheating if they're not a thing?' she pondered for a moment. Normally she thought that a casual hook-up was okay as long as nobody was hurt and the expectations were clear, that is, no expectations of a repeat performance. And yet, Sharon's reputation made it easy for Scarlett to believe this was not a casual hookup, like she had with Duncan or Luke, if Logan was serious about going steady. She hoped she wasn't there to see it when he found out. Plus... she knew Duncan was hiding something else.

The other thing she couldn't get out of her head was exactly where she knew Duncan was right. She really enjoyed being on stage tonight. It really brought back a lot of good memories of playing with the band even if it were just a few small gigs here and there it had been fun. And Logan had been fun on stage too. He wasn't like the usual stiff guy, all nervous and moving like they wore cement shoes. He hadn't been shy about getting a little close either, close enough to like it but not close enough to feel uncomfortable. Just the right height too, and... 'aww fuck' she thought remembering her own thoughts. Everyone would think she made it because she slept with the Ravers and not because she was good at what she did.

"Can I ask you a question?" Delilah said softly.

"Sure," Charlie said simply.

"Do you always have to be so rough?" she asked.

"I'm rough? Really?" Charlie said with a little surprise, it was his style and he hadn't had any complaints before. "I thought you liked it?" Charlie said.

"I do... sometimes," Delilah said tilting her head back and forth, "But sometimes it's like... a bit too much you know...?"

"What do you want?" Charlie asked, letting her guide his response for now.

"Well..." Delilah said nervously. She was a bit disappointed, she had expected Charlie to offer to be more gentle but he seem oblivious to what she was saying. He should have realized what she wanted but.. She took a nervous deep breath. "Could you be like... more... gentle" she offered

"Oh, you mean like a girl right?" Charlie offered.

"What?" Delilah said in surprise. "No. Guys can be gentle too."

"That's only in the movies babe. Okay MAYBE some guys can but... c'mon we're not really like that in the movies, you know, not as gentle as a girl can be." Charlie said. "So... You want to try it with a girl?"

"But?!" Delilah stuttered. "I never said I wanted to try it with a girl."

"Never said you did, but you want to." Charlie smirked "You want to try it with someone here? Maybe... Alice?" he offered with confidence.

"I don't think she'd be up to it, besides she has a boyfriend," Delilah said not knowing she had just confirmed Charlie's suspicions.

"Oh, I think they might be up to it."

****************

"Can I ask you a question babe?" Jake said hesitantly and Alice noticed the fear in his voice as she nodded.

"Do... do you want to fuck Charlie?" he said.

"NO! I only want you!" Alice protested. "Where did you get that idea."

"You just said his name," Jake whispered

"I thought we were playing," Alice said nervously, now she was fearful that she had mistaken everything. "You asked me to suck your dick so if I was sucking your dick someone must have been in my pussy, I thought that you wanted me to... you know pretend.. we were...them, you were Charlie and I was Delilah" she felt Jake's dick get instantly hard again, poking at her from behind.

"I... I " Jake stuttered a bit, the mental image he just got was a huge turn-on for him as he felt his blood boil and swell his dick. "Yea that was hot and all, and..."

Alice spun around in his arms and reached down to grab and stroke his dick while Jake cupped her left breast and started massaging and tweaking it. "Jake" Alice said. "Did you really like it when me and Delilah were dancing and ... and touching each other."

"Really hot Yea. It was like really hot seeing you with them." Jake said, his voice cracking a bit as he was unsure how to say what he wanted to say without scaring off Alice.

Alice looked at Jake "Does it bother you that Duncan touched me?" she asked and watched Jake shake his head saying no.

Jake's voice cracked as he asked Alice, "Did it bother you?" Alice hesitated before shaking her head no.

"Jake," Alice said her voice trembling "do... do you want two girls?"

"I want to see you," Jake answered "Do you want ...." he left the question hanging not really knowing what Alice wanted.

Jake and Alice started a long conversation, talking, slowly, hesitantly like they were walking on eggshells, spiraling around their true feelings but not wanting to hurt the other's feelings. Jake finally admitted that he had fantasies of seeing Alice having sex with people, sometimes with him watching before joining and sometimes with him watching after. Alice, for her part, admitted that she always liked being the center of Jake's attention. Today's event started something in her, and feeling the other teens' hands on her while Jake watched her aroused her a lot, something she hadn't expected. But she also admitted that the idea of others being with Jake sometimes made her feel uneasy. Just the same they decided to see how things worked out but they promised that, if they did something, to never go behind each other's back.
