Loneliness- Part 15

Making friends sure was a new thing for me. Last Sunday, the Johnson's have finally settled in properly and they wanted to have a house warming where Lucas invited all of the neighbours. Bob and Annie helped for sure and so did I. Because I've been spending a lot more time with Freddie rather than being alone, I told him about my invisibility at school and how no one has any idea of my existence.

He was shocked and told me that he'll introduce me to some of his friends. I was nervous of course because this was going to be my first party, (well it's not that much of a party where it's all old people and uninteresting people) and I have no idea how to make friends.

"I'm really scared," I admitted to Freddie when we were in my room that evening before the house warming party started. I asked him to come over because I wanted an opinion on what to wear. If I had any girl friends I would surely ask their opinions but since I have none, I'd just have to settle on a boy's opinion. I would've asked Annie but I didn't want to disturb her since she's busy helping Bob and Lucas with the cooking.

"Don't worry. That looks cute on you," he replied looking through the mirror behind me when I held up a vintage floral summer dress in front of me.

"No, it looks too summer-ish," I disagreed and threw the dress on my bed next to him. I rummaged through my wardrobe trying to find a nice simple dress. I found a see-through cream dress and took it out. "How bout this?" I asked him teasingly.

"That looks sexy. Try it on," he said eager to see me wearing it. He pushed me into the bathroom without me getting the chance to say anything. "Try it on Jen!" he shouted excitedly.

"Okay, okay," I giggled, "give me my black tank top and my white tight shorts. Otherwise you can see through my bra and underwear," I said shyly from the bathroom.

"That's the whole point," he replied seductively. I was shy but because I trust him and he was the only one there, I changed into the dress. I took my long sleeve purple shirt and cut-off jeans off and I wore the dress. I haven't wore the dress for two years and it still fitted perfectly. I even thought that the dress made my butt and breasts look bigger. "Are you wearing it?" he asked. I came out of the bathroom slowly and cleared my throat. He turned around, jaw dropped and he studied my body from head to toe.

"How do I look? Sexy?" I asked and twirled around so he could see the whole dress. He didn't say a word and his eyes widened. "Freddie? Freds?" I asked clicking my fingers in front of his eyes. It was as if he was hypnotized by me. He shook his head and closed his mouth but after a few seconds, it was opened again. I pulled the dress down because it was riding up and Freddie slowly walked towards me, blushing.

"You are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life," he said staring deep into my eyes. Out of habit, I bit my lip and fiddled with my fingers. From my shoulders, he stroked my arms slowly causing me to have goosebumps. "God you're beautiful," he said it again which made me blushed. He walked closer and closer towards me until our bodies were only inches apart. I swear I saw a lighting of lust crossed his eyes right before he kissed me.

My palms were sweating, my heart was beating so hard I could hear it pounding in my ear. I swallowed nervously when he pulled me slowly towards the bed. I always locked the door every time Freddie was in my room. I slowly lay down on the bed and he was now on top of me. It was all happening in a blink of an eye and I couldn't tell whether I was scared, happy or excited about it. He kissed me slowly and passionately; our tongues were dancing back and forth in our mouths and his hand wandered on my body.

His warm fingertips electrify my skin and then he stopped. I was kissing him and he retreated. "What's wrong?" I asked worried that he might be disappointed by my body.

"I- I don't want to rush things. I really like you and I don't want to fuck things up," he said getting off of my body and sat down face palming himself. I got up and sighed putting my chin on his shoulder,

"It's okay. But I'm not gonna wear this dress tonight, I don't wanna seem slutty in front of all those old cranky neighbours," I joked and kissed his neck. He giggled and turned around and gave me a peck on the lips. It was almost 7.30 p.m and the party starts in half an hour. I decided to wore the floral summer dress. Freddie went back over to his room via my window to his because he needed to help Lucas. I went downstairs after and helped Annie with a fruit cake that she made. Time went without us noticing and when we arrived next door, there were many foods and punch placed on the table.

"Wow! Did you cook all this?" Annie asked Lucas, impressed. He nodded and smiled taking the cake out of her hand and placed it on the empty spot on the table. Bob was at his kitchen arranging a couple of beers for the 'adults'.

"Jenny, you look beautiful," Lucas said and gave me a peck in the cheeks. He did the same to Annie and we both sat down. "So, how'd you guys like the place?" he asked making his way to the kitchen.

"I like it, it's really nice. Freddie, did you help your dad?" Annie asked and then winked at him. He blushed and nodded following his dad over to the kitchen. They really did decorate the living room nicely. Well, it was different than the time I came over anyway. The living room was sort of a rectangular shape and the soft black leather sofa was place right in the corner next to an old antique grandfather clock. The TV was on top of a wooden carved cabinet and the plush cream carpet felt like grass touching my feet. Soon enough, people started joining us and more and more neighbours came.

Two of Freddie's friends came because he didn't invite many seeing as this was not a party that teenagers often attend to. We went up to his room and he introduced me to Ben, a tall guy with really big arms and he had the army haircut and Rosa, a petite brunette with lip piercing and stretchers. I didn't know Freddie was even friends with them but then again, I don't really know the guy and even though they seemed different, they were really friendly.

"Ben, Rosa, this is Jenny," Freddie said and Ben held out his hand. I shook it and he gave me a warm smile.

"Hiya Jenny, you alright love?" Rosa said and hugged me. I was shocked when she did that but I couldn't contained my excitement of making new friends. "So you're the famous Jenny Freddie keeps talking about, I'll tell ya what, he makes you sound PERFECT!"

"Really? I'm really not, by the way, where are you from?" I asked her because she sounded she was from England.

"I'm Australian, just moved up here a coupla years ago," she smiled and jumped on Freddie's bed. That Ben guy jumped on his bed as well and they both started making out on the bed. So much of me making friends if they aren't even interested in talking to me, I thought.

"Hey, are you okay?" Freddie asked looking concerned because I wasn't feeling so excited anymore. I nodded giving him a smile and he took my hand, "Alright you two break it up and come talk with Jenny. Jenny, Ben doesn't go to our school because he's in military school or some crap and he's here only on the weekends and he's my best friend since kindergarten and Rosa is his girlfriend who happens to be LOUD," he yelled at her ear and they laughed, "and really understanding at anything." They smiled and Rosa kissed his cheeks. I bit my lip and smiled at their reaction. "Guys, Jenny is, well-" he said trying to find the right words to describe me,

"-Perfect?" Ben continued it for him and they looked at each other. Freddie nodded and smiled at me. My cheeks were reddening and I looked down. "Well, at least you're better compared to that cheap whore," he laughed. Freddie rolled his eyes and moved closer to me. I could hear the soft murmur of people talking and laughing downstairs and I wasn't having a really good time although I was still happy and grateful.

We all talked about everything possible and I like them. "Where do you go to school Rosa?" I asked her when she was rapidly talking in her Australian accent.

"Oh please call me Rose," she said. "I go to college, didn't Freddie tell you? We're both two years older than you two," she said and I gave Freddie the 'I-can't-believe-you-didn't-tell-me look'. We all laughed because Ben made stupid jokes every five seconds and even though it wasn't as funny we all still laughed.

None of us were drunk because Freddie couldn't risk sneaking alcohol up to his room when all the neighbours are downstairs and he couldn't risk getting me in trouble. Ben randomly took his clothes off leaving only his boxers on; he had six packs and his arms were as big as pythons. "What are you doing?" Rose asked looking annoyed.

"This!" he climbed outside the window and starting yelling out and hitting his muscular chest like Tarzan. We all laughed because surprisingly, no one from downstairs heard anything. "Come on out babe!" Rosa took her clothes off leaving only her bras and panties on and did exactly what her boyfriend did. Me and Freddie laughed so hard at them. I couldn't ask for a better night and for better new friends.
