Perfect Summer by Kailin Gow

started trembling with such
intense pleasure, I cried out with the release, pulling Nat closer to me,
scratching his back with my fingers.
                When
I opened my eyes and looked in the doorway, Drew was gone.
                Nat
looked up at me from where he was pushing my bra back over my breasts, and
said, “I know we’re running late now…but it was worth it, wasn’t it?” He pulled
his hand out of my jeans, and buttoned the top. “There,” he smiled. “Good as
new. Now let’s put a top on you before I do a repeat performance on you, and
skip today’s classes at the Academy altogether.”
                “Nat!”
I pushed him away. “We have to be at there for the Open House.” I went to my
closet, pulled out a green blouse with flowing sleeves and a self-belt, slipped
it on, and went to the mirror to brush my hair. I put on small gold earrings,
then took out a wand of lipgloss, dabbed at my lips, puckered, and wiped. With
just a touch of violet eyeliner which brought out my green eyes, and mascara, I
was ready to go.
                “Wow,”
Nat said, gathering me for a kiss. “You’re the only girl I know who can get
ready in less than five minutes, and look like you just walked out of
Cosmopolitan magazine.”
                I
smiled. “Well, you know me, Nat, I’m really a tomboy at heart. I have no
patience for any beauty routine that will take more than an hour.”
                Nat
grinned, “That’s my Summer. No wonder all the boys liked you. You were one of
us, but then…” he cupped my breasts, “you grew these glorious breasts,
developed soft beautiful curves, had soft touchable flawless skin, and an
attitude that makes men just want more from you.” Nat pulled me in for a kiss,
and said, “Knowing how much of an effect you have on guys, Summer, I probably
have to get used to the fact that I’m with one of the most desirable women in
town, that men would throw themselves at you. Because if I ever saw you with
another man, unless I can get it under control…this crazy jealousy, I have to
admit, I’d be insanely jealous.”
                “Nat…”
I smiled, wanting to change the subject…did he see Drew here? “Same goes for
you. I’d be insanely jealous seeing you with someone else, too.” I looked at
the clock in the living room, and gasped. “Got to go now, Nat! We only have ten
minutes. Quick, grab all the food. I’ll get the bags of party favors.”
                In
record time, we had my SUV loaded with food and party decorations with Nat in
the passenger seat while I took all the shortcuts to the Academy.
                The
parking lot was full when I pulled up to my reserved parking. The doors to the
Academy were already open, and students ranging in age from seven to fourteen
were walking in with their parents.
                Nat
and I grabbed everything we could and headed into the Academy from the back
entrance, usually reserved for the theater crew when the Academy used to be a
working local theater. From there, we placed everything in the kitchen, where
there seemed to be a large display of catered foods – a cheese and ham spread,
fruits, raw vegetables, stuffed mushrooms, fried dumplings, and meatballs.
                A
girl with blonde hair in a ponytail, dressed in all black and wearing a black
apron came in with a silver tray, which she filled up with more food.
                Another
girl with red hair came in and did the same thing.
                Nat
and I looked at each other before I asked, “Who ordered catered services?”
                The
pretty blonde girl said, “Oh, we’re from the studios,” she said, handing me a
card. Lisa. “We normally cater events like film releases, but this was very
last minute and smaller.”
                “From
the studios?” I asked. Where was I going to have a
