The Mistake

The Party that Started It All

     Cole drove us back to his house and helped me out of his truck (not I needed help). His whole yard was full of cars that I recognized from school. We could hear the music blasting already. It was a good thing that Cole didn't live near anybody, or they might have called the police. 

     When we got inside, there were people everywhere! We could hardly even get into the house! Cole had gotten a dj that was obviously doing a good job. Everyone was dancing and having a good time, and almost everyone had some sort of drink in their hand. Cole took me over to the drink table and asked what I wanted. I knew I shouldn't get anything because I was underage, but your senior year only happens once, so... "A beer, please," I replied. Cole looked at me with a surprised grin. "Make that 2," he told his little brother behind the bar. When we got our drinks, Cole walked me out on the dance floor and we started dancing.

     Whenever my beer would get empty, there was Cole's little brother with another one. I don't know how long we danced or how many beers I had, but the next thing I knew, Cole was kissing me. Now, I don't mean just a lip to lip kiss, I mean a tounge to tounge kiss. This was the first time I had ever been kissed like that, and I liked it. "You wanna go upstairs?" Cole whispered in my ear. I nodded and he dragged me up to his bedroom.

     We sat down on his bed and said he had to tell me something. "What is it?" I asked, afraid that he was going to dump me. "I've decided to go to Ball State so that I can stay with you," he looked up at me with that perfect grin on his face, and I fell. "Oh, the hell with abstenence!" I yelled. I threw my arms around him and he started unzipping my uniform. I pulled his jersey over his head and started unzipping his pants. He unzipped my skirt and pulled off my cheer shoes. I unhooked my bra and he took off his underwear. Then came my underwear...

     When I woke up the next morning, there was a terrible punding in my head. The last thing I remembered was getting my first drink. "Morning, love," I heard. I kind of scared me because I thought that I was alone. My ears started ringing. I slowly turned my head to see who was talking. I saw Cole laying next to me, naked. He had his hands behind his head and I was laying on his perfectly ripped chest. "Oh, hi," I replied when I saw it was him. 

     About that time, I realized that I was naked, too. And that could only mean one thing... I jumped up out of the bed and covered myself with a sheet. "Did we-?" I asked. "Oh ya," Cole replied, smiling slyly. I couldn't believe I let myself do that! I pulled back the blanket over Cole to see if we had used protection. "We didn't use one," He said. I could tell he was kind of scared, but he wouldn't show it. I didn't know what to do, so I just went into his bathroom and started to shower. "Can I get in with you?" he called through the door. "No, we've done enough," I yelled back. I could hear him laughing. This was serious, why was he laughing? We just had sex, without protection, and he's laughing about it! We're both christians and sex before marrige is strictly against our religon. 

     I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around myself. I decided tht it would be for the best if I just forgot about the whole thing and Cole and I went back to being just a boyfirned and a girlfriend who have never had sex. I put on one of Cole's shirts and my sweatpants from last night. While I was putting on my shirt, Cole came up behind me and hugged me around the middle. He started kissing my neck and moving his hands up and down my body. "Cole," I turned around in his arms, "Go get ready," I kissed him on the lips. He walked into the bathroom, moping. "You know," he popped his head back out the door, "If we had showered at the same time-" "Go, Cole," I said closing the door in his face with a little smile. 

     When he got out of the shower and got dressed, we walked out of his room and downstairs into the kitchen. There were people passed out everywhere. The place was a medd of empty beer bottles, pizza, and toilet paper (someone had obviously tried tipeeing). Cole started making us some breakfast, when I saw that it was well passed noon. I ran back upstairs and grabbed my phone. I had 8 texts from my mom. I called her:

"Hello?" she answered. "Hi, mom." "Sweetheart, where are you? Are you okay?" Where are you?" "Mom, I'm fine. Me and Becca slept in and now we're working on a project for school. We're gonna go get some lunch when we're done. I'll be home later." "Oh, ok. I was just worried about you. See you later, love you!" "Love you, too, Mom," I replied and hung up. Thank God she didn;t suspect anything.

     "What was that all about?" Cole asked when I got back in the kitchen. He had made bacon, eggs, and toast. "I had to call my mom and tell her I would be home a little late," I replied taking a piece of bacon. We ate our breakfast and Cole asked if there was anything I wanted to do today. It was a beautiful day, the perfect temperature for September: not too hot, not too cold. "No, I need to get home pretty soon, so my parents don't start suspecting things. Besides, I have a lot of homework to do."

     We got into Cole's truck and he took me home. He kissed me goodbye and I hopped out of his truck The weird thing is, pregnancy never once crossed my mind.

*Cole's POV*

          I watched her walk inside from my truck. I watched as her perfect hips swayed in her navy blue sweatpants. I watched her beautiful hair flow down her back. She was truly amazing. It seems like I've known her forever, but now I'm seeing her in a whole new light. If you told me a few months ago that I would have sex with Samantha Jordan, I wouldn't have believes you. Sure, Sam's always been pretty, but now she's beautiful. And, believe me, I'm taking note.

     I turned around and drove back to my house. There's a lot of clean up to do, and there's no way my little brothers can clean all of it up before mom and dad get home. I'm the oldest of 5 boys. We're all adopted from Germany, but we all have different blood parents. My oldest little brother is Luke, then Josh, then Parker, and the baby of the family: Kyle. It's always bothered me that I am adopted. I mean, I'll never know who I look like, why I have the personality traits I do, or who my ancestors are. But, I never really show the way I feel. I keep it inside to maintain a tough jock exterior. The only person I;ve ever told is Sam. She always knows what to say to make a person feel better. 

     I pulled into my driveway and still saw people passed out on the lawn. I told them to go away or help clean up, and they left pretty quickly. There were still people inside, too. My brothers hadn't even started cleaning up yet, and my parents were coming home Sunday night. I got everyone out of the house and then I assigned all of my brothers jobs to do; I told them they'd get paid $20 for helping me. We got it picked up pretty fast, too. We have a pretty big house, and every square inch was completely trashed. 

     I decided to let the guys order themselves a pizza, and then I went upstairs to my room. I wanted to call Sammy. "Hello?" She answered. "Hey, it's Cole," I replied. "Oh, hey!"

"What's up?" "Nothing much, just eating some ramen noodles and watching Sherlock." "Is that the British show with the one guy that looks like an otter?" I heard Sam laugh on the other line. "Hahaha, ya." It was quiet for a while, until she broke the silence, "Why'd you call?" "Um... I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the movies with me tomorrow night?" "I'm sorry, Cole, but I have youth group," My face fell. "But, I'd like it if you came with me!" She replied. "Awesom!" I replied. "I'll pick you up tomrrow night at 6:30." Sam said and then hung up.
