Chapter 18: Frustration All Around. Sunday morning arrived and I was still annoyed that Connor and I would not be alone together. I was wondering if we would ever have the chance to have some time for ourselves. I don't know why I was in such a foul mood when I knew that Melanie would be there and it's not like there was not going be any sex today. Well, I guess something was better than nothing. I headed to the kitchen and Brad had breakfast ready and I helped myself and sat down at the table. Matt gave me the sports section of the newspaper and I was reading about last night's win. The article was filled with accolades for Connor and I and how we continued to be a serious threat to any team we faced. The article gave the statistics of our scoring streak since the conference championship and questioned whether it would continue. God, I hated this reporter. Connor and I were on fire and instead of realizing we were pure shooters the reporter questioned our ability. After eating breakfast I went upstairs and got showered and dressed. I told Melanie that I would pick her up at 11:30 to head to the cabin. I said goodbye to Matt and Brad and got in the car and drove off. I arrived at Melanie's house and when I went to the door I was met by Melanie's father. He said Melanie is still getting ready and he wanted to have a word with me. We went into the living room and told me to have a seat. He then started asking me about what my intentions were with regards to Melanie. I told him that Melanie was my steady girlfriend and I told that I love her. "She's the best thing that happened to me" I told him. He said he was pleased to hear it. He told me that Melanie was very special to him and didn't want her to get hurt. I told him I would never hurt Melanie. I didn't know why he was asking all these questions and I was a little uncomfortable answering his questions. He then asked me to join him in the den and when we got there he shut the door. He asked me to sit down then told me that he knew that Melanie and I were sleeping together. I panicked. I just sat there dumb founded and didn't know what to say. He told me his wife found a used condom in Melaine's waste basket. I started freaking out thinking this guy is going to kick thecrap out of me. He said, "I know you two are young and think you are in love with one another." "But I don't want Melanie's future jeopardized by an unwanted pregnancy." "I want it to stop." He told me that if I wanted to keep seeing Melanie I had to promise that I would not sleep with her. He went on saying that when he was young he slept with Melanie's mother before they were married. "I am just asking that you slow down and hold off" he said. I swallowed hard and my voice cracked. I told him that I promise not to sleep with Melanie again and that I was sorry. He told me he knew I was a good kid and meant no harm. I told him that I loved Melanie and I would never put our relationship in jeopardy. He went on saying that he believed that going to the cabin was a bad idea with no adult present and Melanie is not allowed to go. If you want, you two can hang out at the house and my wife and I would like you to stay for dinner. "I'd like that" I said and thanked him for the dinner invitation. He went on to say that Melanie does not know that I know about you two and I'd like to keep it that way. This will just be between us to men. He put out his hand and we shook hands. He then said, "I like you Jake and am glad you are going out with Melanie." "All she does is talk about you and how great a guy you are to her." "I know you treat her with respect and I appreciate that." "Now go get out of her and go see Melanie in the living room." I walked to the door totally confused and didn't know what to say. I was just glad the guy wasn't going to kick my ass. Melanie was in the living room and I told her that I would be staying for dinner. Your dad told me about the cabin and I'm ok with it. Just as long as we can be together is all that matters. Melanie said she called Ashley and said we wouldn't be able to make it. She then leaned into my ear and whispered "but what about us being together." "I wanted to please my man." I told her that we would need to find another time and place. Melanie's little brother came into the room and asked if I could teach him how to shoot. Melanie looked at him and said "get out of here." Her brother continued to plead with us and we relented and went outside. I started shooting baskets and then watch him shoot. I went over to him and corrected his form and taught him some moves. The kid was a fast learner. I thought the kid was going to bust. He said "this is awesome." "Jake of the dynamic duo is teaching me how to shoot." "Aren't my friends going to be jealous." I laughed at him and said "No problem buddy." Her brother treated me like I was some kind of god and just kept saying over and over my sister goes out with Jake Pennington. Melanie then cleared her throat and said "I was hoping you would be doing a different kind of shooting." I laughed at her comment and said "so did I." Melanie and I spent the rest of the day watching television and just hanging out together. When it was time for dinner her little brother jumped into the seat next to me and was looking at me wide eyed. It was cute how this kid idolized me. Dinner went well and I was at my best complimenting Melanie's mother for the excellent meal. She kept giving serving after serving and told me a young man like me needs to keep his strength up. I was stuffed and couldn't eat another bite. I helped clear the dishes after dinner and asked if I could help washing the dishes. Melanie's mom said that I was such a sweet boy and she wanted me to go sit down and wait for dessert. She said she made a chocolate cake for dessert and that she would have a big piece waiting for me. Melanie and I went into the living room with her brother and dad and sat next to one another on the couch. While we were in the living room Melanie's dad started talking about the next game against Clover Plains. I told him they had a height advantage on us but just like with Mayfair I think our outside shooting will be able to take care of it. Melanie's dad said that Clover Plains has a reputation of playing rough and have a rowdy crowd at their games. I told him I think we can stay focused and overcome it. Melanie's mom called us in for dessert and there was this large piece of chocolate cake on a plate and Melanie's mom said that was mine. I looked at it and began eating it down. It was delicious and it didn't take me long to finish it. Melanie's mom looked pleased and she said she appreciated how much I enjoyed her cooking and baking. "You definitely are invited to come over for dinner again" she said. I thanked her again for the great meal and after watching a little more television got up and said it was time to go. I thanked Melanie's mom for a delicious dinner and said goodbye to her dad and brother. Melanie and I walked outside together and started kissing by my car. She said she was sorry her dad wouldn't let us go to the cabin and how much she wanted me. I told her we just would need to come up with another time and place. She said "don't worry baby." "I'm going to give it to you and give it to you good." I chuckled, kissed her goodbye and drove off. When I got home Matt and Brad were in the living room watching television snuggled together on the couch. I told them about spending all day at Melanie's house. "You sound disappointed" said Brad. "What's the matter was your romantic day thwarted." "You could say that" I replied. Then just to goad Brad I said "But I'm sure there will be other opportunities and I won't be denied for long." Brad turned to Matt and said "did you hear that?" Matt said he did and said that I was just teasing him. I said good night to both of them and went upstairs to bed. As soon as I got upstairs I called Connor. I told him about Melanie's dad knowing that Melanie and I were sleeping together and how everything turned out. "Holy shit man" he said. "I don't know what I would have done if Ashley's father confronted me." I told him if we could only have been able to stick to our original plans none of this would have happened. Connor told me not to worry that we could have the cabin during mid-winter recess and be alone together. I told him I hope so because I am going to be one frustrated boy if we do not get together soon. "Don't worry bud, Connor said. "It's going to happen and it's going to be soon." I told him I was going to hold him to that promise. He then told me he wanted me bad and jerked off dreaming of me. I told him I jerked off thinking of him. We both laughed and he said "we will be together and it's going to happen." "I promise." He then went on to say how he and Ashley spent the whole day in bed. I said "good for you." "At least someone got something today." I then told him I would see him at school tomorrow. Before he hung up he told me "I really only want to be with you Jake." I responded "and I only want to be with you Connor." We both said goodnight and hung up the phone.
