The Boy Next Door.

15. Just Friends

Jared:

I felt better after Neil and I spoke. Maybe he's right. Maybe I should concentrate on getting to know Cassy first. After we filled in the form for the Boere Sports Competition, I saw an opportunity to get to know Cassy better.

Asking her to walk with me is kind of a new thing for me. I've never asked a girl to do something with me without expecting something in return. At first, I was nervous, but once we started to talk, I found that I enjoyed getting to know her better.

Soon, we are back at the tent. Smelling the meat, I realize just how hungry I am.

"I hope the meat is done. I'm starving," I say when we get to the tent.

"It's done," Neil says, "We were just waiting for you guys to return."

We all move to the small table we brought with and start to dish up. Once I have my food, I go and sit next to Cassy again. Everything looks and smells delicious, and soon, a silence descends on us as we dig in and start to eat.

Cassy:

Jared comes to sit next to me after he dishes up, and once the worse of our hunger are satisfied, we continue our conversation talking about this and that. He doesn't make any sexual advances towards me, and I can't help but wonder if whatever was happening between us is over.

I'm kind of disappointed. Maybe it's better this way. Us just being friends. If I'm honest with myself, I never really stood a chance with him. I can't compete with girls like Louise.

After we ate, we all sit and chat for a while longer, but the day has been long, and we decide to make it an early night. Jared continues to treat me like a friend, reinforcing my suspicion that he just wants to be friends.

The whole evening, I've been nervous about our sleeping arrangements. I know Ashley and Justin and Neil and Tanya will be sleeping next to each other, but where does it leave me. I'm sure they wouldn't want me and Jared to flank them, but at the same time, I'm really nervous about sleeping next to Jared. I've never slept next to a guy. What if I snore or end up with my arms around him. I can be a very restless sleeper at times.

The decision gets taken out of my hands when Jared, who sat outside for a while longer after the rest of us retired, comes to lie next to me, trapping me between Ashley and himself. Even though it's a six man tent, it doesn't leave us with much space. Acting like I'm sleeping, I can hear Jared getting into his sleeping bag next to me.

If I was hoping for some sign that he's still interested in me, I am sadly mistaken. The minute he gets into his sleeping bag, he turns his back on me. I can't believe how disappointed I am, and it takes me a while to fall asleep with Jared lying so close to me.

Fatigue eventually claims that I sleep right through the night. When I woke up the next morning, Jared was already gone.

Jared:

I opt to sit at the fire a little longer after everyone retires. Getting to know Cassy only made me want her more. I don't know how I'm going to get through the night lying next to her without touching her.

I eventually decide to grab the proverbial bull by the horns and go inside. Everybody is already sleeping. Getting into my sleeping bag, I do the only safe thing I can. I turn my back on Cassy.

Even with my back to her, I can still smell her. Fuck this is going to be a long night. I must have fallen asleep because I wake up at just past 5, still lying with my back to her. I can hear Neil snoring on the other side of the tent. Listening carefully, I can hear Cassy's even breaths, assuring me that she's still asleep. Not able to stop myself I turn around slowly, taking care not to wake her.

She turned onto her left side sometime during the night facing me. For a while I just lie there watching her. She's even more beautiful asleep. She suddenly starts to stir and in a panic I start to turn around, not wanting her to see me watch her. I stop when I realize she's only turning onto her back.

She sighs softly, smiling in her sleep. When she moans softly the sound goes straight to my dick and I can feel myself starting to get hard. Her left hand comes to rest on her left breast and when she squeezes her breast softly, I realize she's dreaming. By now my dick's already half mast. I'm tempted to take over from her, massaging her breast and it takes everything in me not to do it. When she whispers my name, I'm a goner and I realize I need to get out before I do something stupid.

It's time to go meet Mrs Palm. Getting up I get my towel and head for the showers. My dick's so hard it's almost painful. I still can't believe the affect she has on my body. Once inside the shower I only give myself a second before I take my dick in my hand, slowly starting to move my hand up and down, picturing her hand on my dick. I only need a little bit of soap, the pre-cum dripping out of me. When I start to imagine moving in and out of her, hearing her moan my name like she did this morning, I loose the fight. My release when it comes is so intense that my knees buckle and I almost drop to the floor.

Sliding down the wall I just sat there after the most intense hand job I've ever given myself. Fuck, if just imagining fucking her is doing this to me, I don't want to know what really fucking her is going to do to me.

It takes me a minute to get the strength back in my legs to get up and even then my legs still feel like rubber.

I take a long hot shower after that. When I'm done I get dressed and walk back to the tent. I might as well make myself some coffee. When I get there Neil's already busy making coffee.

"You're up early," he says when he sees me.

"Yeh I needed a session with Mrs Palm," I say and when he looks at me with a question decorating his face, I just shake my head and mutter, "Don't ask."
