A Very Special Date

By Steph

When Things Are Going to Happen they are going to happen…

 

Trixie Belden, age 19 prepared for her big date with her boyfriend, Jim Frayne. They were going for a ride

on the horses and then have a picnic dinner by the lake.

 

She tied a scarf around her curls to match her blue blouse and white jeans. She thought about the right color nail polish and decided against the bright purple and settled on red. She thought purple nail polish would be going a little far.

 

Trixie also thought back to their last date and how they had wound up lying in the hay and things had gotten pretty hot and heavy.

 

She had returned to Sleepyside after her freshman year of college and they were at the point in their relationship where things were moving pretty fast. They had discussed marriage in general terms but had decided that it wasn’t quite time yet.

 

She had wanted to finish college first and he had graduate school ahead of him.


The only thing that had stopped them from going all the way was Regan walking into the stable. They also hadn’t been prepared. While they had been talking about marriage they certainly weren’t ready to have a baby so they needed to prepare themselves. They thought they wanted to get married first.

 

Of course they both had thought that they would wait until their wedding night to have sex but passions were getting pretty high.

 

She thought of how she had shyly suggested to Jim that he pick something up before their date and blushed at the thought of his probable reaction on the other end of the phone. She had made the decision that she was definitely ready to sleep with him and was looking forward to their date.

 

As she left the house she saw Brian working on his new second hand car, a VW bus that he treasured as much as he did his old jalopy all those years ago. It had cost much more than 50 dollars, everything cost more these days.

 

Brian smiled at her and said "I heard you and Jim have great plans tonight. I heard a picnic and horseback ride and that sounds great. I guess you’ve finally gone farther than looking fondly at each other and holding hands. Honey and I used to talk about that and we were convinced that you two would marry someday but instead of a kiss at the end of the ceremony, you would look fondly at each other and probably hold hands."

Trixie laughed and said "I wouldn’t talk. You two took years to get to the point where you were kissing in public and became the king and queen of Sleepyside public displays of affection. Such scandal in town! Of course in Sleepyside anything is a scandal."

Trixie then said goodbye and don’t wait up for her and headed towards the stable whistling to herself and having very untraditional thoughts about their plans for the evening.

 

On her way she heard a frog chirping and thought about how Bobby used to collect frogs and try and frighten her with them. She had gotten revenge after all those years by planting a frog in his picnic basket as he was planning a date with his girlfriend.

 

Bobby was now almost 15 and growing like a weed. He was going to be the tallest of the Belden children easily. He was a talented high school baseball player, already on the varsity team.


She thought of his authentic Sammy Sosa baseball bat he treasured. As a rightfielder he really admired the wonderful Cubs rightfielder that had followed his 66 homers with 75 the next year to break everyone’s record.

 

Meanwhile Jim had gone shopping for their big date earlier. Since it was Sunday everything in town was closed and he had to go shopping at Mr. Lytell’s store which was a little embarrassing considering what he needed for their date.

 

First he loaded the picnic things on the counter. Mr. Lytell packed them into paper bags and then Jim went looking and couldn’t find what he wanted and was very embarrassed as he thought about approaching Mr. Lytell.


The old storekeeper was as nosy as ever although he had mellowed in recent years as he had gotten old. He had even forgiven Miss Trask for falling in love with Trixie’s Uncle Andrew and marrying him and moving to an apartment in Sleepyside.

 

Regan had told Jim that Mr. Lytell kept the things in stock but how to go about asking for them? Goodness this was embarrassing. Why did they have to pick Sunday for this date? They were only known by about half the people in town.

 

Finally he approached the counter and said "Mr. Lytell, do you mind telling me where you keep the, um, um, protection?"

Mr. Lytell said "I stopped carrying guns years ago with all the gun control activism going on around here. I think you always have detective Trixie to protect you anyway! Or do you mean an alarm system? We don’t have those."

Jim blushed and said "I didn’t mean that kind of protection. I meant Regan told me that you stock condoms."

 

Mr. Lytell’s mouth almost dropped to the ground as he said "They’re under the counter. I found teenagers tried to steal them all the time. What kind do you want? I don’t have experience with these things to tell you the truth so I have no idea what to recommend."

 

Mr. Lytell also thought to himself "Perfect and responsible Jim Frayne? Sleepyside’s favorite son? And since Jim was dating Trixie Belden, who he had grown to like over the years, but still? Last thing he heard they were still just holding hands."

 

Jim looked at the selection and chose a couple of packs of different kinds. Then he paid for his purchases and headed out to his car.

 

He bought several packs because he didn’t want to have to return for more when the time came. One time was embarrassing enough.

 

He drove to Manor House and prepared the sandwiches, chips, colas and other things for their picnic and also put the condoms in the picnic basket.

 

The last thing he packed were a couple of blankets for setting the food on among other things.

 

Jim reflected on the other night in the stable. They had progressed pretty quickly from passionate kisses to where they were starting to undo each other’s clothes. She was so beautiful and sexy and he loved her so much. He knew he wanted her forever.

 

He actually had been the one to stop them from going further even after Regan had left and they had been tempted to start again. He wanted it to be right and he definitely wanted to be prepared. He wasn’t sure also if he’d be able to stop so easily if they got that hot and heavy again.

 

He went to take a shower and changed into jeans and a top and then headed over to the stable.


When he arrived he saw Trixie preparing Susie and shyly said "Hi there!" and Jim felt his heart leap into his throat at seeing her.

 

Trixie turned around and smiled at him and said "Hi! I’m really looking forward to our date, been since the other night. Do you suppose we should bring the riding crop in case things start getting frisky?"

Jim laughed and said "The horses are pretty tame lately, even Jupe."

Jim went over to get Jupiter ready as Trixie said "I didn’t mean the horses necessarily."

Jim walked over and they kissed passionately and then they finished getting the horses ready and he carried the picnic basket as they rode through the preserve for about an hour and a half and decided it was time for their dinner.

 

The food was delicious finished off with peaches for desert. They both loved them and Jim thought he was going to lose it watching Trixie bite into the peach and lick the juice off her lips.

Finally Trixie said "I brought a tarot deck with me. I thought it would be fun to see what the future has in store for us."


They played for awhile and got very mixed results and really had no idea how to interpret the results anyway. Finally Jim said "It’s been an hour, how about a swim? We have suits in the boathouse. I think it would be fun. I think we’ll never agree on what these mean.

 

Trixie said "I guess we’ll have to figure it out ourselves as time goes by. But I know I want you to be a big part of my future."

 

Jim kissed her and said "We may need to get into the water to cool off. Let’s go change and then swim!"

 

Trixie said "Lead the way."

 

They went into the bathhouse and each tried to hide their eyes from watching the other change even though they both wanted to watch.

 

Finally they both were in their suits and headed out to the water. They had a lot of fun splashing and laughing.

 

Suddenly in the middle of all the splashing he was overcome by her beauty and took her into his arms and kissed her passionately. After some more kisses he picked her up and carried her to the beach.

 

He laid her down on the blankets which they had recently cleared the food off of. Trixie kissed him and said "Jim I noticed you were prepared. I looked inside the picnic basket. I’m glad you made the purchase. I think it’s time."

Jim asked "Are you sure you’re ready for this? I mean I know we’re 19 and 21, but I want to be sure you’re ready. This is such a huge step."

Trixie kissed him and said "I definitely am. I have been wanting this for the longest time and now is the right time. This has waited 6 years since that day we met in the old mansion."

Jim said "I promise to go as slowly as gently as I possibly can but to be honest, it’s my first time too so I’m not sure exactly how."

 

Trixie kissed him and said "We’ll learn together. I love you."

 

Jim said "I love you too."

 

They started tentatively kissing and touching each other, each a little unsure of themselves taking it slowly and gently as their passion and excitement grew into a fever pitch. Finally after a little while they lay completely naked together and panting for each other until he gently but urgently pushed himself inside her and they moved together until they exploded together in a feeling unlike either of them had ever experienced before.

 

Gently Jim pulled out of her and then gathered her into his arms as they kissed and whispered words of love to each other.


Finally their breath was calmed down enough to speak and he said "Trixie, was it okay for you? I know it was wonderful for me."

Trixie kissed him and said "I was surprised but it didn’t hurt at all. Maybe all that horseback riding from all these years helped. I think I’d like to start again."

At her words he was instantly ready to make love to her again and this time he slowly kissed and stroked her all over, completely concentrating on her pleasure this time. Finally she reached for him and helped him put on another condom and they exploded together again.


Afterwards she said "I think they might be able to hear our screams at Manor House. We better be careful. They might kick us off the beach!"

Jim kissed her and said "Either that or sell tickets!"

 

They laughed again and then helped each other get dressed. She found herself feeling a little wobbly but not in pain at all.

 

He walked her home and kissed her at the door and said "Just so one thing is clear. I am going to marry you someday. I love you"

Trixie said "I’ll remember that. I love you too!"

 

The End
