That's my father telling me that after two months he will no longer support me in any way. So I have to pay for my own food and clothing. He said that I can stay in the family home for free till I am sixteen and then I have to leave. I am 14 years old. I must admit I am completely speechless, I just went to my room and sat on my bed. What would any child do when confronted by this? It seems completely unfair and came out of the blue. Also I know that he was not joking about it and certainly would not change his mind. I have two elder brothers, 16 and 17, but they are not bound by this rule. For several days I went to school and did not utter a word the whole day. Came home and went to my room. I just couldn't understand it. How can I be expected to handle such a situation at my age? I was beginning to think that my only hope was to be taken into care. Then a plan came to me. "Mr Duffy I am glad you have agreed to see me." Mike Duffy was a local builder of about 60. I have seen him around the area many times and often stopped and said hello. He frequently said that because of my huge size I was always welcome to a job with him. "Tom you are always welcome here." "I need a job. I can work 3 hours after school and all day Saturday and Sunday." "Well Tom you tower over my six feet, but have you spoken to your parents about this?" "Firstly it's because of them that I have to work. Secondly I do not want anything for nothing. I will work free for you for two weeks. If you are happy with me then we can carry on, if not then no hard feelings." "Okay. Start this weekend." So Saturday I turned up on the building site not far from my home. I have to say at this point that I am about 6ft 5 and 14 st 5 and I thought quite strong. But on building sites there is a whole new breed of human beings. They seem to be able to work hard all day and not get tired. On this day I was made to do the worst possible jobs, carrying the heaviest loads backwards and forwards. I think my job title would have been a general labouring. Somehow I got through the first day, but when I got home I could not feel any part of my body. But somehow I had to drag my shattered body back to the building site at the crack of dawn to repeat the whole process. "Well Tom I have given you the shittiest jobs for a fortnight and you've got through it. I thought you may have cracked under the pressure after the first week, but you stuck at it. The job is yours and I'll pay you £7.50/hour to begin with. What I want more than anything is reliability and honesty." That was it I was now a working person. I would take my work clothes with me in a rucksack to school and go to work straight after. What I found out was on building sites there are a lot of casual workers, staying around for only a few months before moving on, probably back to their eastern European home. So after a year of working I was the longest serving person there. By my sixteenth birthday, not only was I a good bricklayer and plasterer, I was also managing the sites that I was working on. Mike Duffy had complete trust in me. But now that I had just turned sixteen, I knew that it would not be long before I had to move out. In fact my father had already hinted at the fact. I had saved quite a bit of money in the time I had been working, but not enough to buy a property. I was once again beginning to wonder how I was to get out of this hole. "What do you think of those six houses across the street Tom? "Well they are derelict houses Mike." "Yes they are. But if they were in mint condition they would be worth around £110,000 each. I have been offered all six for £200,000. I think we can fix them all up for around £100,000." "That's great Mike. Go for it then and you'll make a fortune out of this." "But I have already plenty of money and would rather you bought them instead." "I couldn't raise that kind of money." I replied. "I could give you the money to start, but I am going to do even better for you. You will go to the bank and borrow the £300,000. Buy the houses, renovate them and then sell them. This will give you experience of dealing with banks and finance." I looked at him for a few seconds then just started laughing. It seemed absolutely ridiculous that a bank would lend me that kind of money. "I will give you a letter stating that I will guarantee the loan if anything goes wrong." The next day I had £300,000 in my bank account. A week later I owned 6 derelict houses. I then put four men to work on the first house. I worked out all my cost's for doing up the houses and I knew I could do it all inside the budget. I said to the four men that if they finish each house within 3 weeks then I would pay them a bonus for each house. Six weeks later two houses were completely finished. Luckily this was around the Christmas school holidays so I could do a lot of the work as well. An estate agent valued the houses at £130,000 each, but said if I put them on the market for £120,000 each they would sell immediately. Three days later they were sold. In fact the next two were also sold on time. All houses were now completely renovated and four were sold. My loan was now paid off and I had two houses paid for and £100,000 in the bank. So I moved into one of the two bedroomed houses and rented out the other one. This was Mike's suggestion. On the day I was moving out of my family home I was expecting at least one or two words of good luck or something. But no one batted an eye lid. I stood there with a small case and waited for a response from them, nothing. Mike turned out to be a very hard task master. He made me do home work each evening and at weekends also. I do not know how I managed it but I passed all eight of my gcse exams, no fantastic grades just B's and C's. Although my school was not the best good school it did help that I had total silence in all the classes I attended. At 6ft 5 and 17 stone by the time I was sixteen, I was easily the toughest boy in my school. Even the 18 year old kids left me alone. But the down side to all of this was that I think I had matured much fasted than any of the other kids in the school. I just could not associate with them, so I could number the friends I had with one hand. Well actually I could count them with no hands. Mike and I had a series of massive arguments after my GCSE exams. He wanted me to go back and take my A levels and I just wanted to leave and work and earn money. His argument was that if anything went wrong with the business I would have something to fall back on. In fact he said the business would do better with more education. I knew that I could not devote enough time to my home work to get any sort of decent grade at A level. So I hired two private teachers who would help me. They would do all my home work, write notes on all the subjects being taught at the time and do a lot of examples with explanations. All this was quite straight forward since I was doing two A levels in maths and one physics. The total cost to me is £200 a month. The next year was great for Mike and me. I was earning more money from him and the houses that I now had. I would also be the one who would go and deal with difficult clients who had problems paying. I never attacked anyone or threatened them. I think when they saw the physical size of me, with a very short haircut, that was threat enough for them. "Tom can you go and collect some money from this couple. They owe us £45000 and it's two months overdue. Tell them we'll give them two months more and then we'll take legal proceedings against them." Also now that I was 18 and had passed my driving test, I had a car. As Mrs Bolton opened the door I just couldn't help but stare. She is absolutely gorgeous. She had this very thin sleeveless dress on, which finished way above the knee. As she led me into her home I couldn't help but notice the outline of her bottom through her dress. I wanted to reach out and stroke it. She sat opposite me and crossed her legs. Her dress rode up her legs barely covering the bear essentials. I wanted to reach out and put my hand down the front of her dress into her bra and feel her luscious breasts. "Where is your husband? I did give him plenty of notice that I was coming at this time." "He was called away on import business at the last minute." "Mrs Bolton you owe us a lot of money. If this is not paid immediately then I have no option but to have this house sold to recoup our money." "I do appreciate that and we are doing our best to raise the money." "I presume you had the money when we began the work on your house?" "Yes we did." "Well I do not see that I have an option but to take legal proceedings against you. It will probably mean you losing your home." "Is there anything that I can do that will make you give us a bit more time? Anything at all that I can do to make you happy. I'll do anything." I knew what she meant. She would allow me to use her body for my satisfaction in return for me to give her more time. My hormones were absolutely raging. I wanted to run over there, rip her clothes off and break my duck as far as women were concerned. But she's only doing this because her husband is forcing her to do this. I can't be with a woman who does not want to be with me. Also I can't do anything behind peoples' backs, it tends to come back and bite hard. "Please call your husband and tell him to come home right away Mrs Bolton or I will have no option but to do what I said." She looked at me and her sexual look had been replaced by one of fear. "Okay I'll go and get him." She got up and walked out of the sitting room door. I watched as she left, kicking myself at what I had just thrown away. Within a few minutes two men walked in, one obviously her husband. There were both about 6ft tall dressed in tracksuits. They look very fit and strong, but I knew I had the advantage over them. Any man that would make his wife prostitute herself is a cowardly scumbag and deserves a beating. I immediately stood up and faced them both. "I haven't got time to waste with you two scumbag cowards. Have you got the money that you owe my company or not?" I shouted. I could see the fear in their eyes. Neither wanted to speak, I could see that they wanted to run away. Eventually one of them plucked up enough courage. "Not all of it." I could see the shame and embarrassment written all over the wife's face. "That new Landrover outside, is that yours?" I asked. "Yes." He meekly replied. "Ok here's what we're going to do. You write me a cheque for half of what you owe me. Give me the keys to the Landrover with the log book. If the cheque clears you can have you car back. I expect the rest of the money within thirty days. If you fail to meet these demands the house is mine. If any of you says one single word the deal is off and the house is mine." When I eventually got the vehicle back to the office and explained what had happened, Mike Duffy was amazed at what I had achieved. I really don't like frightening people, but sometimes there is no other option. It is also quite difficult to do this and then the next moment go to school and do your studies, the adrenalin in your body just keeps pumping. In December of my final year of school I walked into the school building, wondering what the hell am I doing here. I have absolutely no interest in being here. What ever grades I get will not impact my life at all. Have no interest in going to university. If not for my private tutors I would have failed miserably at the end of the previous year. I sat in my seat waiting for the Physics teacher, a Miss Louise Hamilton. I know she's about 5ft 9 and this is her first year of teaching and is 22 years old. But I don't think I could pick her out of a crowd, that's how much attention I have paid in this class. She walked into the class and sat at her desk. I did not even raise my head, I felt like walking out of the building that second. She said something to the class and the class responded. "Are you with us today Tom?" Miss Hamilton asked. For a few seconds I didn't realise she was speaking to me. I then noticed that the class were all looking in my direction. "Physics class calling Tom, anybody there?" she said again. I looked up and for the first time I noticed her beauty. A ray of light was shining through the window onto her face. She seemed to be glowing. I could only stare, could not answer her. She stood up and I noticed that she had a models figure. She walked to the front of the class and started her lesson. I still was paying no attention to what she was saying, just taking in her beautiful face and slim figure. My imagination was running wild. She set some class work for everyone to do and start walking around the class. She walked round the back of me and placed her elbows on my shoulders and moved her lips near to my ear. Her aroma was intoxicating. "You okay Tom? You don't look like you're with us today." She whispered into my ear. "I'm sorry I seem out of it, but it's because of you." I whispered. "What do you mean?" she replied. "I think you are so beautiful I can't take my eyes off of you." I again whispered. She stood up, her face flushed, grinning from ear to ear. Then her smile went and she walked to the front of the class to continue the lesson. As she continued the lesson she would occasionally look in my direction as if confused by my remarks. In the next few lessons she almost completely ignored me in the lesson, not even commenting on my homework. If she saw me outside of the class she would not look in my direction or give me a greeting of any kind. How much of this can any person put up with, in my case not very much. As I was walking along a school corridor I saw Miss Hamilton walking towards me, again not looking at me. As we neared I walked up to her. "I apologise for my outburst. Please can we be friends again." I asked. She looked at me and smiled. I could see that she was sorry for her actions. "I'm sorry too. I completely over reacted. It's just that no one has ever said that to me before." Then she leant forward and stood on her tip toes and kissed me on my cheek. That was my first ever kiss. Other kids in the hallway saw what had happened and stood and watched. "Let's forget the last couple of days and carry on. Ok?" she asked. "Great." With that the classes got better and better. She would constantly smile in my direction and I would be the only one she would touch in the class, although it was just a slight touch on the arm or a squeeze on the shoulder. She also had the habit of leaning on my shoulders with her elbows and talking to me about my work mostly but sometimes tell me about what she did the previous evening or weekend. About a week after our rendezvous in the corridor I was walking along to a class. I went by her room full of 16 year olds. There were 4 or 5 boys in this class who paid no attention in any class and not one teacher could control them, not even the headmaster. Louise was in her first year as a teacher and kept order very well in all her classes except this one. But because these boys were unruly it meant that all the class were misbehaving. I just couldn't walk by and see her struggling, so I thought I would give her a helping hand. I knocked on her door and walked in. As I walked in the class became quiet when they noticed it was me. "Miss Hamilton I have the information you requested." I lied. "Thank you." She replied confused. "Do you think I could have a quick word with your class?" I asked. "I guess" She replied still confused. "I think you all know who I am, but in case you don't my name is Tom. I am in the final year in this school. Also I am the most selfish person I know. When a teacher comes to one of my classes I expect to get the maximum out of that lesson. Miss Hamilton is one of my teachers. I think she is a very good teacher and I get a lot from those lessons. Since I am so selfish I do not want her to spend the whole of this lesson shouting at you lot. This, she may not agree, makes her less effective in my class. So if she comes to my class with any hint of being less effective in my class than she normally is, I will know exactly where to come to put that right." I shouted. I looked around the class waiting for anyone to say a word. Miss Hamilton looked on with her mouth open, unable to believe what was happening. "You can't talk to us like that." Said of the unruly boys, who sat in front of me. I reached out and grabbed his lapels with my giant hand and pulled him out of his seat. I looked directly at him, daring him to say another word. Fear had got the better of him. I put him back in his seat. "Thank you very much Miss Hamilton for your indulgence." I said looking at her. I walked out of the class closely following by Miss Hamilton. "Don't you ever bloody do that again." She looked at me for a few seconds sternly and then smiled. She then leant forward and kissed me on the cheek again. "But thank you for what you just did. I was really beginning to lose control completely of that class. Hopefully we will hear no more of what just happened." She then slowly walked back into her class, turning her head to look at me as she disappeared into her room. As an 18 year who has absolutely no experience of the opposite sex to be kissed twice by your beautiful teacher, my hormones were raging. I was so attracted to her now, the way she looked over her shoulder as she walked into room. The way she smiles at me when she sees me. I am in a constant state of arousal whenever she is near me or even when I am just thinking about her. My last class of the day was with her and I was really looking forward to that lesson. The class went as normal. She handed out work and started to walk round to see if anybody needed help. She again leant on my shoulders. "Tom please don't do that again, you'll get us both into trouble." She whispered into my ear. "I think you are so sexy and I care, I don't want you to be in distress." I replied in a whisper. "Shhh. You really will get us into serious trouble." She whispered grinning. "I want to see you outside of school." I demanded. "We'll talk about this later." She replied smiling. But alas my relationship with Miss Hamilton was to come to a grinding halt even before it got started. As the class finished and the other students walked out of the class the head of sports walked into the class. To call him the head of sports was a joke. He was a fat red faced man of about thirty. "More you wait right there boy." He ordered. I was just about to get up and put him straight when the headmaster followed by three men walked in. These three men looked like typical convict doormen. "Where is this shit who beat up my boy?" one of them screamed. My temper now was at boiling point. Not only had the fat slob of a teacher disrespected me in front of my favourite teacher, now these other men were calling me a shit. I got up knocking over my chair. I ran towards them knocking over anything that was in my way, desks, chairs, bins anything all went over. I firstly looked at the sports teacher Mr Walton. "You don't call me More or Tom. If you are addressing me you call me Mr More. Got that?" I screamed at Mr Walton. I could once again see that fear had over taken him. All he could do was nod his head. I then looked at the three men for a few seconds. "Your sons are scumbag cowardly pieces of shit who ruin it for everyone. Those bloody idiots will probably spend most of their lives in and out of prison. Just like their parents." I screamed at the top of my voice. Tom the Builder One of the men opened his mouth to start speaking. I grabbed him around the throat, pulled him forward and then onto his knees. "Don't you bloody speak till I tell you to." I ordered. I looked around to see if any of the others had the courage to speak. "It is unfortunate that in school there is not a teacher able to stand up to these so called students. I felt it was my duty to make sure all kids can learn and not have their time here waste by these idiots. If I did hit one of them, they would in hospital for months" Still they did not make a sound. "Here is what I am willing to do. We can go outside and discuss this like men or you three can sod off with your tails between your legs." I looked around for a reaction, obviously there were none. The headmaster could not speak. It was at this point that I noticed that Miss Hamilton looked as if she wanted nothing to do with me. I expected some sort of support from her. She looked as if she wanted to protect herself and sod everyone else. I then picked up my bag and walked out, barging past the three men. Fortunately I did not hear anything more about the incident again. I never felt the same for Miss Hamilton again. Whenever she tried to talk to me quietly in the class or in the corridor I just ignored her. About a month after this incident I was just leaving school when I again saw the 4 students with their parents by the school gate. I initially thought there was to be trouble, but then I noticed that they were all smiling and looked happy to see me. "Tom, Mr More, I am glad we caught you. We just want to say thank you for what you have done for our sons." One of the fathers said. "What have I done for your boys?" I asked slightly confused. "Well up until that point they were useless shits, as you put. But after that event they have kept quiet in that class and are beginning to learn something at last. There is a chance they may pass a few gcse exams." "Well ok I guess." I replied still confused. "We apologise for the way we acted and if there is anything we or our sons can do for you please do not hesitate to ask." With that they all shook my hands and went, remarkable. Christmas came and went, as did January and February. As March opened up I knew I had only three months left at school then I could leave, coming back only for exams. I was now beginning to feel happy in myself that the end was near. I could then concentrate on my outside work with Mike Duffy. It was in one of these moments, while walking along a corridor, that I felt somebody brush past my shoulder. I turned and saw Mary Hopkin sitting on the floor. Mary was in my year, very tall about 5ft 11 maybe. She had these very broad shoulders from doing sports and always wore a track suit. She had her blond hair always tide back and never had any make up on that I ever saw. She really was a babe, but I don't think I ever remember ever speaking to her or her ever noticing me before. She was a completely different build to the wafer thin Louise Hamilton. "You fat head just you wait right there." She ordered as I turned around. She leapt up and I saw a fist approaching my chin very quickly. I only just managed to move it out of the way. I reached out and put my arms around her pinning her arms to her side and picked her up, her back being against my side. She turned her head and looked at me, but before either of us could say a word. The headmaster walked into the corridor followed by Miss Hamilton. "What's going on here?" asked the headmaster with a stern look on his face. "I have absolutely no idea." I replied. He looked at Mary for an answer. "He has just beaten me up and was about to take me to a room somewhere to have his way with me." Mary answered. A smile appeared on the headmasters face. Mary was smiling when she said it. "Put her down Tom please. Don't lark around in the corridor it gives a bad impression." The headmaster said. With that the two walked off. I did notice Miss Hamilton look back at the two of us before disappearing from the corridor. "What's going on here?" I asked. "Sorry Tom, just joking with you. Tell you what, meet me for lunch today and we can have a cheese roll and a drink together, all on me." I sometimes wish I could control my 18 year old hormones. I couldn't stop myself from imagining her lying on a table naked covered in food and I was eating off of her. "erm yes okay." I replied hesitantly. She turned and took started to walk away and then came back smiling. She lent into my ear. "Were you just thinking something naughty just then, naughty." She whispered. I can't remember ever blushing but I did just then. All I could do was smile back at her with my face blushing. "What's the matter, cat your tongue?" she asked still smiling. I was now tongue tied and blushing. Oh my god what is happening here I thought. "Ok my tall friend I will see at 12:15 at the gates. Is that ok?" she asked. I nodded my head as my mouth still hadn't got into gear yet. "I always thought you were this big bully, but you're a pussycat really." She smiled broadly towards me, stroked my arm gently up and down a couple of times, and walked off. I stood there not knowing what just happened. Nobody in my time at the school had ever spoken to me like that. But she comes along orders me around and asks me out to lunch. How could I have been tongue tied, it's never happened before. Fear has never got the best of me. I never felt like this when I said things to Miss Hamilton. "I'm so glad you came, Tom." Mary said as I met her at the gates. She put her arm through mine and smiled at me and we started to walk to a nearby café. "Have you ever been to this café before?" She asked. "No, can't say that I have. Not really a big fan of these places." "Oh. I've been here many times and the food is really great." "Mario can we have two cheese and cucumber sandwiches with some orange juice please." She ordered. We looked at each other for a few seconds, smiling. "So why were you sitting on the floor in the corridor?" "You're telling me that you don't what happened." "Did you bump into me and fall down?" I asked. "Something like that." She replied. "I am really sorry. I was in a world of my own." As we sat there eating our sandwiches she looked at me. "Oh yes my little brother says thank you for what you did in his class by the way?" "Who is your brother?" I asked. "You don't mix in much do you? You know when you walked into Miss Hamilton's class and basically told them to keep quiet or else. Well that class has been as quiet as a mouse since then." "Oh that. Those idiots were getting on my nerves." "How comes you don't mix in with the others at all? You don't look like a sad weirdo." she asked. "Well I think I have matured faster than all the others. I have no similar interests to them either." "I think everyone is just scared of you." "Well obviously you're not." I said smiling. "How do you find time to study with all you outside commitments?" She asked. "What commitments?" I asked. "Well I saw you once working on a building site after school. You did seem to be the one in charge. What struck me at the time was that the other workers were lifting one bag of cement and you were carrying two. You even stopped and spoke to someone while holding the bags." "Yes I do work for someone outside of school, I love it." "Were you tongue tied and little embarrassed 'cos of me?" She asked. She sure had a way of coming straight to the point. "Its never happened before, a new experience for me." "Well you've never met me before." She quickly came back. We both laughed. We both stood up ready to leave. I took out my wallet and put a £20 note on the counter and started to walk out. "What are you doing?" both Mario and Mary asked. I looked at them and thought that £20 would not cover the bill. So I took out another £20 and put it onto the counter. "I am so sorry. Please accept my apologies for my error." They looked at each other and started laughing. "Your bill is £6." Mario said. "Ok. Please add the rest to Miss Hopkin's bill so she can eat for free till the money is finished, if that's okay with you both." "I thought that was supposed to be on me?" she asked as we walked back. "A gentleman always pays." "Whenever my friends and I go there we count our pennies to meet the bill. That's certainly never happened to me before." We walked back to school with her arm entwined with mine. "So am I forgiven for making you tongue tied in school earlier?" she asked smiling. What I wanted to say was give me a kiss and I will forgive you. "It was only fun." I replied. "I had a great time. I'm glad we've finally met." She said as we approached the gates. "Yes me too." "You do realise we have to go back there and use up the money behind the counter." She said. "Ok." I said laughing. "Maybe tomorrow you'll be a bit more comfortable with me." She said. "Ok. Hopefully you won't get bored with me." She squeezed my arm, looked at me and smiled. She then reached across and kissed me on the cheek. "I can't believe I am going to say this to you so soon, but I really like you and I am really looking forward to seeing you again." She said. Once again I was lost for words and my faced flushed with embarrassment. I could only look on speechless. She gently squeezed the tip of my nose. "Ah my big baby is lost again." She said smiling. She again kissed me on the cheek again. "Will you be okay from here? I don't want you to get lost. Do you want me to hold your hand and take you to your class?" she said jokingly. "Yes I'll be fine. I'll see you later." "Ok Tom I'll see you later." As I rode out of the school that evening on my Harley motorcycle I couldn't get Mary out of my mind. She was absolutely perfect. So many hours to go before I saw her again, like a life time away. How can she have this effect on me, Louise never affected me this way at all. I held her hand as we met again at the gates the next day. She again smiled and kissed me on the cheek. I really wanted to kiss her back but my courage had failed me again. "How comes you don't order a burger or something?" I asked. "Well I am a vegetarian, just like you." She replied. I was now completely stunned. How could she know that about me? "I saw you once with a vegetarian magazine and book and just put two and two together. Am I right?" "Yes you are, very observant. I have been a veggie for almost a year now. I saw this really small calf being taken away from its mother and butchered in a horrible way. I just can't eat meat ever since that day." We talked about our veggie diets, food, school life and outside interests. "So are you comfortable with me now?" she asked. "Yes much." "So are we going to be acquaintances or really good friends?" She asked. "I hope really good friends." I replied. "I have told you how much I like you and even kissed you three times." "You are very direct." "I know. I find that it intimidates a lot of people, but that's my character." "Yes." I said. "Sorry you have to be more specific." She said. "Okay I really like you and I hope we can see more of each other." I said smiling. "How do I know you mean what you say." She asked as we walked back to school hand in hand. "I am always straight, honest and try never to hide things behind anyone's back." I replied. "I can see that. Tell you what give me a lift home on your motorcycle tomorrow and I'll believe you." "Tomorrow is Thursday. Okay I'll bring in another helmet and some protective clothing for you to wear." "What should I wear?" She asked. "As you are, in your track suit is fine." We approached the school gate and she still held my hand. "Well." she said. "I really like you." I replied a little confused. She laughed putting her hand over her mouth. "No silly. If I kiss you again, without you kissing me, it will look as if I am throwing myself at you." I leant forward and kissed her slowly on the cheek. Her aroma was so sweet, so sexy. Her cheek so soft and gentle, I lingered the kiss for a second before releasing. "To late." She said. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You have to give me a hug, tell me you like me then kiss me on the cheek." I looked around and now noticed that several people were now looking directly at us. I gently put my arms around her waist and squeezed her very gently. "I know we've only known each a very short while but I really like you and definitely want to see you again." I whispered into her ear. I then kissed her on the cheek again. The unfortunate thing was the headmaster in his car was just driving into school. When he noticed us he stopped. "Come on Tom let her go, you can see her later." He said smiling. It was then that I noticed that the sports teacher and Louise were also in the car. She was anything but happy and smiling. She was looking at me with daggers in her eyes. With that they carried on into school. "Ok Tom I'll see you later then." "Ok then."I replied. "You don't need me to hold your hand and take you to your next class then?" she said jokingly. "No I'm fine from now on." She looked at me and smiled and carried on into school. All the rest of the day and the next day I had a permanent smile on my face. I felt so happy with my life. I couldn't wait to come to school. That was until about 3 o'clock the following day. I again was walking along the corridor when I saw Mary ahead of me. I was about to call out to her when I noticed another of our year join her. Marvin was a very good looking light skinned West Indian guy. He was an absolute demon with the ladies, I don't think I have ever seen him with the same girl twice. He is one of these guys who are so popular with everyone. They were walking next to each other talking. He then moved closer to her so that his shoulder was touching hers, in a way that looked like they were more than friends. I suddenly felt my stomach hurt. I felt betrayed and used. I felt a tear in my eye. I was about to turn and run in the opposite direction. Marvin then put his arm around her waist and seemed to say something to her. I was then absolutely destroyed. The girl I was beginning to really like, had chucked me aside like an old sock. Mary looked at him with anger in her eyes I had never seen before. Then as quick as lightening her elbowed landed in his face. He was sent sprawling to the floor. I felt like shouting for joy, I was so happy. My girl had not left me. "Mary. Mary." I shouted. "Hi Tom. I was just heading for your motorcycle." "Great. Is everything ok here?" I asked. "Yup. You could have been here a few minutes earlier and saved me." "If I had to save you, you wouldn't be my girl." "So am I your girl then my little shy one?" she said smiling. She put her arms around me and kissed me again on the cheek. "Now hold onto me really tightly. Important thing is to relax, try and move in the directions I move." I said as we were sitting on the Harley. She squeezed me tightly with her arms and legs. The Harley fired into life and off we went. The unfortunate thing, as always, is that good things end very quickly. Her home was only about ten minutes away. Her home was a standard semi with a garage and parking spaces. She took all her protective clothing and we stored it in the storage area at the rear of the motorcycle. "I really enjoyed that. I even opened my eyes after a few minutes." She said laughing. "Great. I'm happy that you enjoyed it." "Are you off to work now?" "Yep." "See at school tomorrow?" "Oh yes." "So are we still mates?" She asked. I put my arms around her very gently and kissed her cheek. "No." I replied. She stood there in my arms looking at me confused. "We are not friends then?" "No we are not." "What are we then?" She asked. "We are not extremely good friends." We both laughed. She kissed me back and then went inside. But the next day, Friday, my heart was to be broken. The next day we couldn't go out for lunch as our timetables didn't match. So I was to see her at the end of the day for a quick chat and arrange to meet up at the weekend. After one week I really liked Mary and I am sure she feels the same. "Tom can I have a quick word?" Louise said at the end of her lesson. "I am really busy." I replied and walked out of the class. She ran after me and held my arm. "It's to do with Mary. Please wait." We walked back into the class for some privacy. "What about Mary?" I asked. "I am only telling this to you so you won't get hurt and also because I still really like you." "What is it?" "Well I heard a group of girls talking a week or so ago, Mary was one of them. They were talking about you." "What of it." "They were making a plan so you could really like that Mary and give her a ride on your motorcycle. They are trying to make a fool of you. I don't think she has any feelings for you. She's done all this as a bet with her friends, a practical joke." I completely broke down. I felt as if my world turned upside down, I felt tears on my cheeks. Then anger took over me. How could I have allowed myself to get into this state? Allow myself to like someone so much and so quickly. I stormed out of the class before Louise could say another word and rushed to my bike. I rushed off to my work and try to forget this week. As Mary walked along the corridor a few moments later expecting to meet Tom, she noticed Miss Hamilton walking in the other direction. She had noticed that their relationship in the class had changed since she met Tom. In fact she felt that she was being excluded from the class. She saw Miss Hamilton approach and give her an evil smile. Maybe it was her imagination, she thought for a second. But as Miss Hamilton passed her she knew something was wrong. Mary rushed to the school gates to meet Tom, he was always there waiting for her. But this time he was not there. She stood there and waited in case he was held up somewhere, she waited for 30 minutes. She dialled his mobile number to see where he was. The phone was not switched on. She waited for another 30 minutes, but still no sign. She rushed to the building site where she saw Tom working all those months ago in the hope that someone might know of him or the company he works for. The building site was no longer there, only completed houses. The new owners did not know who the builders were either. She dialled his number again and again, the phone was always switched off. The anger build up inside me made me work harder than ever that day and the weekend. I didn't speak to anyone, not even to mike. He knew something was wrong immediately and left me alone to work out my problems. Nobody wanted to upset me even further just in case I turned on them. I still couldn't believe what had happened to me. At that moment I didn't know how anyone could get over the hurt that I was feeling. But I also knew that I would have to face her on Monday. I wanted to get my composure back before facing her, didn't want her to see me hurting. I got home on the Sunday evening after work and my emotions finally got the better of me. I tried all over the weekend to hold it all in but could no longer. I sat on my couch blubbering like a baby. If I was a drinker I'm sure I would have been completely drunk at this moment. My eyes were complete red and sore from the crying and wiping away the tears. I must have been sitting there for an hour and half when someone started banging on the front door. I really didn't want to see anybody, but the banging continued. Tom the Builder "Come and open this bloody door." Someone shouted through the letter box. As I opened the front door I saw three men all about my size, but immediately knew that they were Mary's brothers. "We've come here to......." He started. But he stopped when he saw me crying, their anger seemed to just flow away. I walked back and sat on my couch, unable to speak. "We came here to give you a hiding for treating our little sister this way. We weren't sure what to expect, but never this." I knew if I tried to speak I would cry even more. "Our sister has also been crying, the whole weekend. For the past week all she's talked about is you. She's never even mentioned another guys name in the past. She really likes you. There must be some sort of misunderstanding between you two. We won't interfere anymore, but can you just talk to her tomorrow please." "We're sorry to have burst in on you like this." Another of the brothers said. With that they left, continuing to apologise on their way out. I didn't utter a word in all the time they were there. It was about 11:00 Monday morning, I had just come out of one class and walking along a not to busy corridor. When Mary turned into the corridor, she immediately dropped all books and bags and wrapped herself around me. "I'm not letting you go till you let me explain what happened." I couldn't help but hug her in return. "Ok then." I replied. "I understand why you're upset. I was supposed to bump into you and ask if you would give me a ride on your motorcycle. That's it. I didn't expect to have such strong feelings for you almost immediately. I know that you like me as much as I like you. I have never been with a man before but if you want me to prove how much I like you, I will go down on you here and now." But before I could answer once again the trio appeared in the corridor, the headmaster, Louise and Mr Walton. "Tom I bet you haven't seen her for all of an hour. Come on let her go." The headmaster said smiling. I then looked at Louise with hate in my eyes for trying to break us up. I reluctantly let Mary go and the three left. I took a card with my address on it and gave it to Mary. "Here's my address, also take £40. Can you come round to my house tonight at about 9:30, take a taxi please." I asked. "It's okay I can use one of my brothers' cars." She replied. "No please you're a little emotional at the moment, I would rather you didn't drive." "Ok then." She said wiping her nose. "Hello Mary, I'm so glad you two have made up again. Go on through to the sitting room, he'll be down in a moment. By the way I am Helen. I'll leave you two alone, maybe we'll get to know each other better some other time." Helen said. Mary walked into the sitting room and sat on the settee waiting. I came down with a tee shirt and sports shorts on. As soon as she saw me she ran and we hugged tightly. We kissed, gently touching lips for a brief moment. We looked at each others eyes and smiled. We then locked lips, tongues darting backwards and forwards into each others mouths, heads going from side to side. We released after a long time still hugging urgently. "Are we okay now?" She asked. "Yes." She sat on the settee next to me holding my hand. "I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about this thing before. All we said was I was to bump into you in the corridor and then you were supposed to say sorry to me. Then I was some how going to ask you to give me a ride on your bike. That's it." She said. "Why was it you and that's not quite what happened." "Well it was me because none of the others had the courage to do it. When I bumped into you, I don't think you even noticed, but I fell to the ground. I'm ashamed to say I felt a little angry and tried to punch you. But as you held me I knew you didn't do it on purpose and you looked so lost at the situation. When the headmaster came it was a hilarious situation." "Laughing at my expense?" "Come on it was funny." She replied. "Looking back on it was a funny situation." "When I asked you for lunch it just seemed natural. The original idea with the other girls was now finished. I think I liked you even at that moment." "I was totally confused at that moment and I think I said yes out of instinct." I said. "Who is Helen by the way Tom? She is very pretty." I couldn't help but laugh at her remarks. "What's funny?" She asked. "Helen is sort of my house keeper. I'll tell her that you think she's pretty. She has two teenage children." "You have a house keeper? Whose house is this Tom?" "It's mine." I replied. "Where are your parents or are you an orphan? Or should I not ask that?" "This is my house and I'm not an orphan. I haven't lived with my parents since I was 16." "Since you are working all those hours, I take it your parents didn't give this house to you. So you must have bought it I guess. But how does a 16 year old get a mortgage and how would you begin to pay it off?" She asked. I was just about to tell her exactly what happened. "No wait Tom. Please I have absolutely no right to ask you that. Besides we have side tracked slightly." She said smiling. "Who told you that I tried to fool you?" she asked. "Miss Hamilton." "Ah the penny drops." She replied. "What do you mean by that?" I asked. "Well you know she teaches my Chemistry class. Up until a week or so ago we were, I thought, quite good friends. But then she has been really bitchy towards me. On Friday she gave me a horrid stare with an evil smile. I knew it was her. But why would she do that? Oh my god!" She said then stood up. "What? What is it?" I asked. "You had a thing with her." "I'm not quite sure how you worked that out so quick, but we never had a thing." I replied. "Please Tom I know something must have happened between you two." "Well last December I told her that I liked her." "What did she say?" "She ignored me at first and then I confronted her about it and apologised for what I said." I said "And was she okay after that?" "Yes we did become good friends for a while." "How long did it last?" "Just a few days and finished on that day with your little brother." "So why did it finish then?" "Well I got the impression she was concerned about herself far too much and although she had a pretty face was far to skinny." I replied. "Are you saying I'm fat?" She said smiling. "No at all. It's just that I could never really hug her without breaking something. Whereas you have a beautiful athletic figure and certainly won't break." "I know this is none of business at this point but did you sleep with her?" "You are very direct." I said smiling to her. She same sat astride my lap and hugged me. "I'm sorry. I know I have no right to ask you." She replied. "It's okay Mary, you can ask I suppose." "Okay then did anything physical happen between you two?" "Yes it did twice." "You slept with her twice?" her eyes widened with astonishment. "No she kissed me on the cheek twice. I've only ever had one passionate kiss." I replied. We locked lips one more time passionately. Tongues darted back and forth exploring the deep recesses of each other mouths and gently biting each others tongues. "Does that make it two now?" She asked. "Yes." "I already knew that by the way." She said. "How did you know? But still you put me through torture." I Replied. "I just wanted to hear it from your own lips. Some boys just say they have been with lots of girls when they haven't. I knew you weren't one of those. I'm so glad you were honest with me." "Hang on step back to the meeting in the corridor earlier today." I said. "Ah you mean where I said I would get down on you?" I was now relaxed and now aroused. The image of her going down on me truly did make me very aroused. "Hmmm hello someone is saying hello." She smiled. "I did like what you said but I was referring to what you said slightly before that." "Where I said I hadn't been with a man? Well I haven't. I have only ever kissed two boys intimately before." "Any boys from our school?" I asked. "Mark Brewer. I was at a party and somehow had too much to drink and kissed him." She replied "That bloody weasel, I really hate him. " "I really don't know how it happened. I don't really drink very much either." She said. "Where do your parents think that you are right now?" "I'm 18 and do not need to tell them everything." "That's ok. But can you ring them and tell them that you staying here with me tonight." Without a moments hesitation she picked up her mobile phone and dialled her parents. After Mary finished on the phone we went and had dinner, which was prepared earlier by Helen. After we ate we came back to the settee, her sitting astride me, hugging. I felt her cheek against mine, her body pressed against mine. "You're enjoying this Tom I can feel." She whispered into my ear. "So much I can't begin to tell you." "Yes me too." She replied. "I've been thinking all day about this moment all day and so looking forward to it. I thought all day that tonight we will get to know each other really well." I said. We hugged each urgently and she began to kissing, biting and licking my neck. She was grinding her hips against mine, moving back and forth. "There is something I wanted to do to you all day." I whispered in here ear. She lent back and looked at me for a second, then smiled. "Is it what I think it is? It's not is it?" she replied slightly confused. "Just wait here for a second and keep yourself warm." I said. "Ok then." I rushed to the kitchen and got a small tub of yoghurt and a tea spoon. She sat back on my lap. "You want to feed me yoghurt, yummy, I love yoghurt." As I filled the spoon with yoghurt and brought it near to her luscious open mouth I couldn't help but open my mouth copying her with excitement. Hip lips went around the spoon and slowly moved her head back taking the yoghurt into her mouth. Her head lent backwards and her eyes shut. "Hmmmm that's so good." She cooed. I watched opened mouthed totally overcome by her. "Oh you've dropped the spoon and I want more." She whispered. Only then did I realise that I had dropped spoon in a moment of excitement. "What shall I do? I would like more yoghurt, oh well I'll have to improvise." She teased. She put her index finger into the yoghurt and then inserted it into her mouth, very slowly removing it. "Hmmm so good as well." She said as she writhed on my lap. I could only sit open mouthed as this beautiful sexy woman performed on my lap. "I want a little more please." She asked. I could only watch and listen, I couldn't get my mouth to work. She smiled broadly back at me. She pointed her index finger vertically at me, meaning I should use my finger to feed her. As her tongue licked my finger and her lips went around it, I knew I was at the breaking point and had to stop. "I think it might be a good idea if we stop now Mary." I managed to say. "Have I got you very excited my quiet one." She teased. "If god said I can have sex with any number of women as often as I want and have as much money as I want, I would not swap it for that experience." I confessed. We hugged tightly for what seemed a long time. "Mary there's a problem though." "I knew there would be." She replied. "There's obviously a reason why we're both virgins." I said. She sat up and looked at me with a serious face. "I want to have sex with you right now so urgently I think I might explode with the urgency." "Tom I'm not exactly fighting you off." "Look I don't want us to do something we may regret later." "Tom I am so happy you just said that. I did actually know you were going to say that." She replied. "But I think it might be better for you to sit on the settee itself rather than my lap now." I said. "Ok one last thing before I get off." She said. "What's that?" "If we were going to have a night of urgent passion, what would you most like us to do together? And be honest." "I didn't expect you to ask me that." I replied. "I know. But I can feel how urgent you are, so you had better hurry and tell me then." She whispered. "69." I replied. "ooohhh my mouth on yours and your tongue in me?" she whispered in my ear. She wiggled and pressed her hips against me bringing me to bursting point once again. She made a move to stand up when I hugged her tightly towards me, she instinctively hugged me back. "Ah that's not how the game is played, you have to tell me now." I asked in her ear. "Ah I thought you might be a little lost to ask me that." "Sorry but I'm not letting you go till you do." "I don't want you to let me go." She replied. I thought for a second then realised that I couldn't answer her, she had this habit of tying me in knots. "Mary, you have to tell me." "Ok there is one thing. But I only want to do this with the person I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. If you're ok with that I'll tell." "Ok yes, please tell." She moved close to my ear so I cold feel her lips touching. "I want to be fucked hard." She whispered very quietly. She gently bit my ear, kissed my lips softly and then gently bit my other ear lobe. "Anally." She finally said. We kissed urgently, tongues probing. She was now rocking her hips backwards and forwards on my lap, pressing down on my rigid member. As I lie in bed that night thinking about Mary sleeping in the other room, thinking about the evenings events, she stood at the door in my pyjamas. "Can I sleep with you?" She asked. I desperately wanted her to come to my bed, but knew I might not be able to keep my vow of abstinence if she came into my bed. My sleeping attire is limited to a pair of flimsy boxer shorts. "Ok if you must." I replied jokingly. "If you rather I didn't I can sleep in the other room." She smiled back. "Well you're here now, jump in." I said jokingly After a quick kiss or two we settled down to our sleeping positions, her back to me holding her tightly. So that's how life went, at least for the next three weeks or so. We still managed to do our school work and I managed to carry on with my outside work also. But the nights when she was not in my house, about 5 nights a week, was absolute hell on earth. I was beginning to get used to cuddling her at night and waking up and seeing her first thing in the morning. It was on one of these mornings' that I was taking her to school in my new VW Golf car as usual. I walked her to her classroom and with outstretched hands and finger tips touching she walked into the class and sat at her seat. I thought she was so naturally beautiful, I care about her more and more each day. I walked to her seat and sat next to her, even though this was chemistry and not my class. "Please tell me that thing again." I begged." She smiled broadly and put her hands around my neck. "I want to be fucked hard anally." She whispered quietly into my ear. "I think I'm in love with you." I said not quietly. There was a ah oh wow from the other people in the class. "I know you are Tom." She replied quietly still smiling broadly. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you." "I accept ." She replied. I left the room and went to my class. Just sat in my seat thinking about Mary and what she had just said. "Excuse me Sir I will be back in 5 minutes, sorry, I'll be right back." I said to the Maths teacher. "Yes ok." He replied totally bemused by my actions. I rushed to Mary's class and barged straight in ignoring Miss Hamilton. "Mary did I just ask you to marry me and you just said yes?" I said from the front of the class. The people in the room went quiet. And turned and looked at Mary Mary stood up and smiled broader than I have ever seen before. "Thomas More I love you and yes, yes I will marry you." She replied. There was a mass cheer from the class, everybody standing and clapping. I went over gave her a quick kiss then left the room. As I was leaving I noticed the look on Louise's face, I knew there was more to come from her jealousy. It was very soon coming in fact. I saw Mary running towards me at the end of our respective classes crying. "What's the matter, tell me?" "It's Miss Hamilton she says I not up to standard in chemistry and is going to remove me from the exam." "Mary look at me. I have to ask, but do you think you are up to the standard to pass?" "Well up until the beginning of March, I was on course for my required grades, 2A's and a B. I am sure about English and Biology but in Chemistry I will pass but it might be a C now. She really has had it in for me all this month." She said crying. "Ok my darling you come with me." I said "Where are we going?" She asked. We walked into the headmaster's office without even knocking on the door. I noticed Miss Hamilton in there, obviously discussing Mary. "Tom and Mary you might as well come in, it is about you we were talking about." The headmaster said. We walked in hand in hand and sat down. "Firstly may add my congratulations to you both, I couldn't help but hear the news about you both. Normally I would be telling you both to wait and take your time before rushing into anything, but somehow I know this is the right decision for you both. As far as the exam is concerned I am sorry but my hands are tide. It is purely a monetary decision. The school can not be seen to be wasting money. Miss Hamilton seems to think you have no chance of passing." Without hesitation I took out my cheque book and wrote out a cheque to the school for £500. "Tom please, let's discuss this before you do this." Mary begged. "Do you love me?" I asked. "With all my heart." She replied. The headmaster looked on with a smile on his face. "Headmaster, please take this cheque. I hope this will cover the expenses of her exam fees. I also think that since Mary has completed the course, the class is only doing revision now, she should be excused from the class. It is obvious that there is an issue here which cannot be resolved." "This will most certainly cover the cost. If you are sure, Tom, about this then Mary can take the exam." He replied. I looked At Miss Hamilton with an air of triumph and I could see evil in her eyes. She was not finished yet. Mary hugged me tightly when we left the room. "Are you sure about this Tom, it's a lot of money." "I love you and want to make you happy." I replied. I looked at her and the crying had been replaced with a smile. "Just need to make a quick call Mary, Just Hang On. " I said. I picked up my mobile phone and dialled a number. "John? It's Tom. Need a favour. I need a very big favour. I need an excellent chemistry tutor at my house on Saturday morning. Need to do about 2 months of A level revision. Ok great. Tell them to be there at about 10:00. Thanks mate." Mary looked at me with surprise and still had her smile on. "You've just got me a chemistry tutor, have you?" "Yes, so be at my house by 9:30." I replied. "I could be late arriving and then I would miss the lesson." She said smiling. "Good thinking, you'd better go to my house Friday evening and stay the night. One more thing, tell your family to come round on Saturday evening about 8:00, we'll tell them together." "A warm welcome to everybody to my humble abode." I said to all our guests. Mary's family had turned up with her four brothers and Mike Duffy and his wife Pam and even Helen the cleaner. "I have known Mary for quite a while and thought it is about time that everybody got to know me and some to get to know Mary even better." I said.
