* * * *

Peter picked me up from “school” today. It was a total surprise, and it was because Renaissance High's faculty had a meeting. I was all resigned to another Peter-less day and another day completely isolated from my superhero friends, who'd be combing the streets of Vintage City for clues on Arachnaman. I stepped out of the back room, and Brenda yelled out from the shop area.

"Hey, Eric! Visitor!"

I thought at first that it was Liz. Didn't know why, but she crossed my mind first. Then I saw Peter sitting on the same bar stool I usually sat on, smiling and chatting up Brenda. I nearly did a swan dive on him. Seriously, I could've done it, too, based on my calculations regarding physical distance and hormone levels, but I played it cool and just held up a hand, saying, “Hey, how's it going?” Pretty suave, no?

He slid off the stool and gave me a kiss. I guess he felt safe around Brenda, who pretended to be occupied by something on the ceiling the whole time we vacuumed each other's tonsils out, nearly tripping over some fancy coffee table and falling down, all tangled up. Too bad she couldn't stare at the ceiling for an hour straight because I wanted to do Peter right then and there. I guess I wouldn't have cared, regardless, had it not been for Brenda's warning: “Ahem! Water hose time! I've got a business to run, kids!” Of course, I was dazed and horny beyond words when Peter let me go, and I guess I wasn't very subtle about it, either, because when I turned to Brenda, she cocked an eyebrow and shook her head.

"Back room's off-limits, kiddo,” she said and then jerked her head to the door. “Go on, horny toads. Enjoy the afternoon."

Peter thanked her, took my hand, and hurried out the door. “I really shouldn't get anywhere near you if I haven't seen you in a while,” he panted when we stumbled out into the sunshine and warm air. I nearly did a cartwheel. Peter was feeling horny as hell? Like me? Score, baby! We paused after crossing the street, staring at the sky and calming ourselves down in the middle of pedestrian traffic. Nope. Didn't work for me. I still wanted to do him on the spot.

"Can we go home? My family's at work right now. They won't be back till around five,” I offered. Okay, I pled. I was practically on my knees, begging him to go home with me, so I could, you know, do him.

He looked disappointed. I was torn between heartbreak and flattery. “I can't, Eric. I'm sorry. I only have less than an hour to be with you. We still have to go out on a real date, you know. Remember? I didn't even bring my car."

God, yeah, I remembered. That was a rain check that was just screaming to be honored. I had a pile of used towels and a set of crusty bed sheets to prove it.
