Deaf & Dumb

Peter Learns About the Beautiful Girl

Davy and Micky spent a good deal of time speaking with Rosemary. Peter tried his best at translating for her, but sometimes she'd have to write things down to explain what she meant. Davy and Micky were ever patient with all the times she asked them to repeat themselves.
Mike was watching TV. At first Peter really wanted Mike to meet and get along with Rosemary, but all that came out of him being near her was a few annoyed frowns. He didn't want to have anything to do with Rosemary so Peter decided that he didn't need to.
After about an hour Micky and Davy started to have more and more trouble talking with Rosemary so they went away to watch something on TV with Mike. Peter brought Rosemary upstairs to play a game of monopoly.
Peter was laying on his belly at one end of the board, and Rosemary was sitting crisscrossed on the other side of the board. Peter was having a lot of trouble with the game. He kept landing on the property Rosemary owned.
"I suck at this," Peter said laughing.
Rosemary asked him to repeat himself, and Peter did while signing it. Rosemary smiled.
Peter bit his lip as he thought about her. "Rosemary, if you don't mind me asking, have you always been deaf?" He asked signing the words he knew and leaving the rest to context clues.
Rosemary shook her head. She started to sign then thought better of it. She grabbed her note pad and started to write.
"No, I could hear a little when I was young, but when I was around five or six I just couldn't hear anymore."
"Was it weird losing your hearing?" Peter asked.
Rosemary thought for a moment. She nodded.
"How'd your family find out you couldn't hear?" Peter asked.
Rosemary frowned. "My dad did. He asked me to do something several times, and I couldn't hear him so I just stared at him. My dad got really mad and hit me around then he saw how terrified I looked and tried to apologize, but I couldn't hear him so I just cried and cried and finally he realised I just couldn't hear him," Rosemary wrote.
Peter frowned. He touched her hand. "That's so sad," He said.
Rosemary smiled, but Peter could see how troubled telling the story made her feel. He leaned across the board and kissed her softly on the lips. She smiled and kissed back. Peter leaned to far forward and tumbled into her. She fell backwards with Peter on top of her.
Rosemary's eyes widened and so did Peter's. Her hand slipped around his neck and she kissed him. He smiled and kissed back. He slowly eased himself onto her. Her hands went to work at the buttons of his shirt slowly working their way down until she could work it off of him. Her fingers trailed up and down his stomach before starting on the button on his pants. Peter realised what was going on and sat up quickly.
Rosemary stared at Peter. He bit his lip. "With them downstairs?" He said.
Rosemary looked at him for a moment. She frowned then nodded her head. She looked away and blushed. Peter started to rebutton his shirt. He smiled at her.
"Maybe some other time?" He said after he got her attention with a tap on the shoulder.
Rosemary shook her head slowly. She told him that she shouldn't have. It was very out of character for her. Peter smiled and kissed her on the cheek.
"You don't have to say sorry," He said touching her hand. "I understand how you were feeling. I felt it too."
Rosemary smiled slightly. They both turned back to the game of monopoly, but the pieces were now scattered all around. They cleaned up the board and pieces then pushed the box under the bed.
Rosemary looked down at her hands then looked up at Peter. She wrote on her note pad.
"I've never had sex..."
Peter stared at the paper. "You haven't?" He asked.
Rosemary looked ashamed as she shook her head. Peter smiled and hugged her. "It's okay," He said after he released her and she could see his lips.
Rosemary's brow furrowed. "Have you?" She wrote.
Peter nodded. Rosemary looked down at the ground. She let out a sigh. Peter kissed her on the forehead.
"If I could, I'd go back in time and never have sex with anyone until I met you because you're the only person I want to have been with now," Peter said after raising Rosemary's chin so that she was looking at him. "I love you."
Rosemary smiled slightly. She sighed that she loved him too. Peter kissed her again. Peter noticed tears in her eyes. He wiped them off and kissed her again. Then he helped her up, and they walked downstairs.
Davy, Micky, and Mike were staring at the TV. Peter and Rosemary sat in front of them. The movie that was playing was about halfway through. Rosemary rested her head on Peter's shoulder and fell asleep. Peter woke her up gently after the movie ended. She opened her eyes slowly and wrapped her arms around his neck and cuddled her face in his chest. She shook her head as a sign that she didn't want to move, but Peter figured it was about time that he take her home.
Peter helped Rosemary to her feet. She did this reluctantly. She leaned on him as they walked to the door. She was too tired to wave to the others so Peter just walked her out the door of the Monkees' pad and back to her apartment. By the time they reached Rosemary's apartment she was a little more awake.
Peter walked Rosemary to her room. He helped her to her bed. Rosemary refused to let go of his hand even as he tried to leave. She tugged gently to have him lay next to her then kissed him up and down his neck and face. The more she kissed him the more he moved over her. Soon he was laying on top of her and her arms were running through his hair.
Then Rosemary and Peter stopped kissing for a minute. Her eyes were wide as she looked at him. Peter dipped down and kissed her again quickly. Rosemary let out a soft noise. Peter pulled off her shirt then unzip her jeans. She worked off his shirt and pants.
Peter could see how afraid Rosemary was. "We don't have to do this," He said.
Rosemary kissed Peter again and unclipped her bra to confirm her intentions despite her obvious fear.
Peter and Rosemary didn't get much sleep that night.
