Stay of Execution

Gavin decided to go with Kurt's plan. He had committed to Kurt's teaching, as impulsive and brash as it seemed to be. For Gavin, it seemed much more natural to step back and analyse the situation. But, in fact, that was his problem. His habit was to look at the facts, weigh the pros and cons and in the end spent so much time deliberating over the issues that he ended up paralysed with indecision.

When he thought back to it, hadn't it been Victoria who had made the move on him in the first place as well? Sure, he'd set up the movie, however she had been the one to initiate a conversation about their feelings. She had been the one who kissed him. She had been the one who'd taken charge during their first time. Maybe it was because she had a boyfriend before him that she was more confident, or maybe it was just because he was so hesitant that he'd rather be on his phone than make a move on the sweet, hot girl right beside him.

That was the kind of thing that had to change. Whether that meant getting some experience of his own, or just becoming emboldened, he would find out. But, for now, he was convinced that Kurt was right (the strangest thing he'd ever thought) and steeled himself to see the blonde, older teen's plan through.

"Victoria, I want to talk to you about something," Gavin said, trying to sound self-assured.

"Sure," she said cheerfully, focusing on placing the plates into the dishwasher.

"It's about the hike tomorrow..." Gavin swallowed hard. "...and the deadline you gave me."

Victoria glanced over her shoulder at the dark haired, bespectacled teen, her eyes narrowing, "Don't think that you can get out of it. There should be plenty of time for you to give me your answer before we leave."

"That's the thing," Gavin said. "See, I was thinking I could give you my answer at the end of the trail, up at the caves."

"Nope," The blonde shook her head. "You just want some extra time to think about it. I gave you a whole day, Gavin. That's more than enough time. The question isn't that difficult. Either you want a relationship with me or you don't. Either you want to be with me more than you want to be with Chloe or you want her more. These are your feelings, Gavin."

"You know it's not that simple," Gavin argued. Even now he wouldn't have been able to give a straight answer to either question. A million times in the day he'd flip flopped between Chloe and Victoria.

Chloe wasn't really in a good place for a relationship. He'd always found her attractive, but their friendship had been too important. Since Chloe had broken that barrier he began to gave it more serious thought and while she was troubled, she may be a better match for him than Victoria.

Then there was Victoria. The first girl he'd liked who had really shown an interest in him, and who was possibly willing to forgive him. But, she seemed to need emotions and a presence in the relationship that he wasn't able to provide, at least yet. And outside of this cabin, they ran in vastly different circles. Victoria was smart, yes, but also popular and pretty, friends with football players and cheerleaders and always invited to parties. If Gavin ever attended a party it was always as a tag along with Chloe or Zack. Did he really want to be a tag along with Victoria as well?

If he were honest with himself, the only time he hadn't been second guessing which woman he wanted was when Heather had offered to suck his cock. At that time, he became singularly focused on getting a blowjob and receiving said blowjob, and he really hadn't thought about anything else aside from how good said blowjob was.

Exhaling, Gavin tried to appeal to Victoria's sense of reason, "You know as well as I do that just because you want something doesn't mean it's good for you. And you can't always just do what feels good either. There's a lot more to consider than what I want."

Victoria bit her lip, struck by the truth of Gavin's words. Since she'd accidently fucked Zack, her best friend's boyfriend, she had found it quite difficult to be in the same room as him. Any time her eyes fell on him, she couldn't help but remember his thick cock sliding in and out of her pussy. She remembered it's hardness, how deep it penetrated, how she'd cum so much over his shaft and in the end felt him leave his seed inside her. She felt her pussy flush just thinking about it.

Worse was that she wanted to feel it again. She didn't want to fuck her best friend's boyfriend, or to start any sort affair, but the pleasure was so exquisite that she should like to experience it again. And again. And again. But that was impossible. As Gavin said, just because something felt good didn't mean it was something she could have. She had to show restraint.

Although, that didn't mean that there weren't some ways that she could indulge herself without going too far. For instance, she was still wearing the panties she'd worn earlier, the ones she'd put on just after their sex. She could still feel a sticky, dampness on the crotch where she'd leaked his cum onto.

Victoria frowned, having to admit that Gavin had a point, "OK, but what's to say that after I give you more time you won't just turn around and ask for even more time tomorrow?"

"First of all, you have my word, that I won't" Gavin said. "That's bound to mean something."

"You mean the word of my boyfriend who cheated on me?" Victoria rebutted. "Uh huh."

"Also, second, I give you permission to deny me." Gavin continued quickly.

"You give me permission?" Victoria turned to face him and raised her eyebrows.

"And last, because the caves are like this really romantic spot. Kurt was telling me all about them and he says it's a great location," Gavin made a final attempt to persuade her. "I thought it sounded like a good place to do give you my answer."

"Sounds dramatic." Victoria pursed her lips. Romantic. She turned the word over in her head. Did that mean he was planning on staying with her? But if he knew that then why not just come out and say it? Gavin probably thinks that he needs to make some grand gesture, Victoria assumed. That's what a life of video games, films and TV will do to a boy.

She thought it was silly, but if Gavin had made a decision at least, then it was probably best not to spook him. Let him make his grand gesture, if she's encouraging then perhaps he'll be more decisive in the future. It's not like she wasn't planning on going to the caves anyway. Although, there was a way she could get a little more out of the situation...

"OK, you can give me your answer at the caves tomorrow." Victoria waited for Gavin to let out a a breath of relief before continuing. "...provided you finish washing up for me."

Gavin beamed at being assigned an easy task. "No problem."

He immediately stepped up to the dish washer as Victoria moved back, watching him take over the role. She turned to leave. However, there was something that was still bothering her.

"Hey, Gavin."

"Yeah?" he looked over his shoulder at her.

"You said Kurt told you about the caves," The words Kurt and romantic just didn't gel in her mind. "Why was he talking to you about romantic locations?"

"Oh...uh..." Gavin scrambled for a lie. "I, um, I asked about it. Yeah, I just asked him."

"Oh? And, while I'm asking, why was he so adamant that you go on the hiking trip anyway?" She pressed him further.

Gavin exhaled, annoyed at having to think of deception upon deception. "Uh...I asked him earlier...yeah, like...um, before the meeting. He knew the caves would be um, somewhere I'd, uh, want to see because I'd already asked him about um, romantic spots nearby."

Victoria frowned again. The answer sounded logical, however Gavin wasn't a very good liar. He was hiding something, she was sure. It was possible that it was just nerves because he didn't want her to uncover his plan. Her gut told her there was more to it. Something about it just made Victoria suspicious.
