The Lucky Charm

Chapter 9: The Second Step

Last Time

Looking across at Keara, she had a very knowing smile on her face. Why that little vixen was so going to get tickled

mercilessly when I got the chance at home.

And Now

I smiled across at Keara, letting her know I was onto her dupicedice, and to let her know how much I really loved her. Her

only reaction was to mouth silently to me, 'Be good to her.' I nodded to acknowledge her.

Facing forward again, I see that Sammy has turned mostly back to me, when she whispered, "I knew there was a reason that

Keara is my BFF and love her like a sister." Then, "Lunch time, you and me, we have a lot to talk about Georgie." The way

she said it left a feeling of fingers tracing around my nipples and down by tummy.

All I could do was lean forward. I took a big breath smelling her hair, it smelled like wild berries. I breathed out, "Mmm

hmm!"

With that, the class passed quickly. Though I had never enjoyed my English 2 classes in high school before, now I loved it,

having been through this material before had it's advantages, not to mention my prior college courses. With my prior

knowledge, I found that the class was very easy and had no troubles expressing myself when I was called on to answer.

My next class was Biology 2, advanced program or college prep. Sammy and Keara walked with me since they both had the same

schedule as I did, apparently. Not that I minded, Keara led the way while Sammy and I held hands following her. We chatted

as we walked and by the time we reach the lab room, we were leaning into one another.

I so loved the way she smelled, it was almost like I had never smelled anything as beautiful or refreshing in my life. Or

like she was pure oxygen and I was struggling to breathe. How could I ever breathe without her. I knew it was silly, but

that was how I felt.

Again, I was made to introduce myself to the class by the teacher, I didn't mind, and actually was enjoying myself. The

class was easy again because I have already been to college, I tried not to show off, I didn't want to make enemies in

school. I wanted everyone to know that I just like to show what I knew without being showy.

After Biology class it was lunch period. We got into line in the cafeteria, Sammy and I only breaking hands when we had to

grab our trays, her locker was even on the other side of Keara's from mine, we locked Keara between us at the lockers.

Once we had our food, thank whatever god or goddess was responsible for the improvement of cafeteria food since I went to

high school as a boy, we made our way to their regular table, populated by the rest of the softball team. It seemed that

they all were friends beyond the field, and I was welcomed right away.

Of course I knew all of them from before, but they welcomed me like a long lost sister. A few asked where I had been last

year and until now during the school year. Keara and I answered with what matched the school records from Mr. O'Neal. As we

ate, Sammy and I sat as close together as was possible and talked about whatever came to mind. We had many common likes

including most music.

Except for Rap and Classical, I couldn't stand the first and she couldn't stand the second. After a little, half-heated,

discusion, we each agreed to give each a fair chance, but it was not something that was going to keep us apart. By the end

of the lunch period, I discovered that all of my classes were shared with both Keara and Sammy, and a few of the other

softball players.

On our way to the next class, Math 3 Geometry, I was bombarded with pleas to join the team, Keara went so far as to say that

I already knew all of the team any way, and that they all liked me, they were sure that I could find a place on the roster.

So, I finally allowed myself to be talked into it, not that it took all that much to convince me. All Sammy had to do was

smile at me, and I was putty. So today I'd be trying out for the team.

Keara was happy enough that she gave me a quick kiss on the cheek, prompting the rest of the team to follow suit. That is

until Sammy, who held off to be the last. Expecting a sisterly peck on the cheek, I was more than pleasantly surprised when

Sammy whammied me, with the mother of all kisses. Hard on the lips and probing with her tongue.

I took a whole three seconds for my brain to register what was going on, and when it did, I not only gave into the kiss, but

returned it in kind by pulling her into a tight hug. By the time we broke from the kiss, everyone in the hall was hooting

and hollering. Sammy and I just locked hands again and smiled at our spectators.

The rest of the day was a complete blur that swept past in the glow I felt from Sammy and Keara. Soon enough classes were

done for the day, but not for those on the softball team, Though we didn't have a regular PE class, we did have a practice

which was a lot longer than a PE class. Keara and the girls talked Coach Pride into giving me a spot on the team. Quickly I

was given a practice uniform and suited up with the rest of the girls.

My talks with Freya had left me confidence that I was all girl now and had nothing to worry about. The only thing that had

me nervous was changing near Sammy. I need not have been troubled, as we changed, we stole glances at one another, smiling

back and forth. By the time we were done it was starting to feel like a sauna in the locker room.

As we were headed for the door to go out to the ball field, Coach Pride stopped us, holding us until the others had left the

room. She looked each of us in the eye, "Ladies, I can tell that you two are into each other, and I have heard the rumor

mill that you both shared a steamy kiss in the halls after lunch."

She let that sink in, "However, that is none of my business. What is my business is this team and its performance! That

said, as long as it doesn't affect the team negatively, I will turn a blind eye." She turned to let us go and join the

others on the field, then added, "Just, Please, for your own protection, be discreet!"

Since Keara was the team catcher, she also kept a regular fielders glove that she loaned me. Growing up, I had always loved

baseball, but was never very good at it, never quite have the eye hand thing down. Now, though, I seemed to be much better,

even compared to when I was an adult male playing catch with Keara as a little girl. I was having a great time, I could

throw better, catch better, I was faster running and didn't seem to tire as easily.

After 2 and a half hours of practice, fielding, hitting and running bases, we were finally done for the day. On our way in

to take a shower, Coach Pride called out to me, "Hey Lawrence!" Causing Keara and I, both to turn around to see what she

wanted, "Not you Keara, the other one, Red, Georgie, don't forget to get your game uniforms before you leave."

All the girls cheered that I was now on the team. I was too excited to spend much time in the shower, especially when I was

warned that the hot water didn't last too long. Besides, what was there to do but stare at Sammy while the others teased us,

not that we minded. We were quickly done and dressed again, and went to get my game uniforms. The number I got couldn't have

been any better. Number 9, my favorite number and the number that native Washington state hero, Kasey Kahne used to run in

NASCAR.

Seeing how happy I was, Sammy asked why I liked that number? I said, "My favorite NASCAR driver, Kasey Kahne used to run #9.

So yeah, I'm happy!"

She smiled, then gave me a quick kiss, "I'm glad that something so small gives you so much joy. It makes me like you so much

more." I gave her a quick kiss back.

*****************************

Heading out to the parking lot, Darla was waiting to pick us up, so we said a hurried goodbye to our teammates. The only

surprise, was Sammy, joining Keara and I. Keara got in front, taking my normal spot, but thankfully leaving me to sit beside

Sammy in the back seat. Darla was quick with, "Hello Samantha, how are you today?"

Sammy was just as fast with, "Just fine Ms. Darla, I hope you're well too?" Darla nodded her head as she made her way onto

the street. Since we were not heading to our house, it was obvious that we were dropping Sammy off.

Keara was soon telling Darla, "You should have seen the stir that Aunt Georgie and Sammy caused in the hallway today, it

sure got everyones attention, that's for sure!" Giggling.

Sammy and I together yelled, "Keara!"

Darla asked, "So what was this big stir in the hallway, huh?" Laughing.

I started to blush, then thought better of it, taking Sammy's hand, "Sammy and I had our first kiss, and... " Looking into

her eyes, "She's my girlfriend!" Sammy's way of confirming that statement, was to plant another kiss on me, just like the

first.

Darla smiled and said, "I'm happy for you, little sister! Happy for you both."

The rest of the ride to Sammy's home was quiet, with us holding hands and sharing little kisses. It was amazing and sweet,

tender and poignant. Even as fast as things seemed to be going, we knew there was a need to careful, and neither of us

wanted to hurt the other by going too far too soon. We were happy right where we were.

At Sammy's home, one last, desperate kiss and a hug, "Till the 'Morro my love." Whispered in her ear.

"If only I can last that long, my Sweet Cherrie!" She whispered back.

*****************************

Once we were back home, I went at Keara with a vengeance, trying to tickle her to make her pay for setting up Sammy and me.

Between bouts of giggles, she finally gave in, "Stop, it wasn't just me, mom is as much to blame as me!"

Letting her go, "Or thank!" Giving her a hug, Darla stood in the doorway, hands covering her face, trying to hide the

laughter peeling from herself.

I went and gave Darla a hug too, "You're mighty proud of yourself, aren't you?"

"We've all known about Sammy for a while, and just wanted both of you to be happy. You should know that I'll do just about

anything for my little sister!" Mom watched from the door to the kitchen, a big grin on her face, knowing that I had a good

first day of school.

Mom says, "Enough Darla, come help with dinner while the 'girls' get to their homework." Laughing.

I said, "I'll help Keara with hers since is already done."

Keara's response, was, "It's hardly fair, she already has a college degree! It's all too easy for her! But I can use all the

help I can get." Then smiling, "Besides, if she doesn't help me, I'm going to make her wait till tomorrow to get Sammy's

phone number."

We were quickly at it, and even before dinner was ready, Keara was done with her work. She said, "It all makes more sense

the way you explain it, much more than what our teacher tell us."

"That is the benefit of experience my dear. I will help all I can, but some things can only come from age."

After that, dinner was peaceful and fun. Keara and I did the dishes, since we were the youngsters. But all was good, even

before I started to change, I've felt that Keara was my best friend, and now only more so.

We all watched some TV for a while. Thursday night in our house meant "Big Bang Theory", followed by "Mom" and then

"Riverdale", typical for the Seattle suburbs. I excused myself before "Riverdale" was over, I wished the show was more like

the old comics, but that is not what mass media wanted these days.

I got ready for bed, and then lay down, pulling the sheets up under my chin, wondering if I should call Sammy and talk some

more, but decided that would seem too clingy. So I decided to text her.

Me: Hi there
Her: Georgie?
Me: Yeah
Her: Now I have your #
Me: Keara gave me yours
Her: What I thought. WRU doing?
Me: Laying in bed thinking about U. HBU?
Her: Same as U
Me: Sammy?
Her: Y?
Me: Happy we met! Heart emoji
Her: Y!!! 2 heart emojis
Me: G'nite, will dream about U! Kissy face emoji
Her: M2! Heart kissy face heart emojis

I put my phone on the charger and rolled to the side. Closing my eyes thinking about Sammy.

End of Chapter 9
