Nancy on the Way

Nancy Beardy appraised her reflection in her bathroom mirror. All those YouTube makeup tutorials had paid off, and in the last year she had gone from a plain girl who got ignored by her peers to a hot girl that boys got tongue tied around. For the first time in her life, Nancy had options.

So why had she ended up dating Gary Spence? The guy was nice enough, but nothing special. When he’d asked her out, Nancy remembered being curious. How would this turn out? She had thought, I’m out of his league, but maybe he’ll surprise me.

He hadn’t. It had been exactly as she had feared. Gary would drive around all day, showing Nancy off, trying to be something he wasn’t. It made Nancy feel more than a little dirty, a little used.

Now Tim Thompson, Gary’s best friend, was another story. That was the kind of guy Nancy could see herself with. He was kind, funny, and most of all, sexy. She closed her eyes and pictured him in her imagination. What was it about him? Was it those tight jeans? Was it how he looked in a crop top? She couldn’t put her finger on it, but Tim was just attractive. Some people were just like that.

And now they had a date! Nancy hoped that Tim’s sister would help him pick something hot to wear. She has great clothes, so if Tim and Nancy started going out regularity, Nancy would never have to worry about dating a slob.

Satisfied by her appearance, Nancy returned to her room, grabbed her purse, and headed out. Her mother had already said she could borrow the car that evening, so she climbed behind the wheel of the sedan and pulled out of the driveway.

Tim didn’t live far, another advantage if Tim became her boyfriend. Of course, Nancy would have to ditch Gary to make that happen. That wouldn’t be a big deal. Technically she was already cheating on him by going out that night with Tim, which was an indication to how committed she was to the relationship. If that night went well, she would cut him free. Lose the dead weight.

And she hoped it went well. She felt excited, and more than a little bit horny. There was an action movie playing at the theatre. Superheroes or something. Boys loved that kind of stuff. Nancy could take it or leave it, but if it got Tim to like her, she’s gladly sit through some explosions while munching on popcorn.

And so she pulled into Tim’s driveway and took a deep breath to settle the butterflies in her stomach. This was the beginning of something that she wanted, really wanted. She hoped nothing would go wrong. A cute boy like Tim was the kind of guy that Nancy deserved! For it to not work out would be so unfair!
