Chapter 8
A few weeks later my Dad told me that he was going to Seattle
the next weekend to pick up some vet supplies that were much
cheaper there, and also to visit his cousin. He said he would be
leaving early Friday morning and be back Sunday night. He said he
was sorry I could not go along as he had put some cows in the
barn that were near labor and I would have to stay home to feed
and water them. He said I could have Mary come over to keep me
company.
At school the next day I told Mary the good news. I was
disappointed to find that her cousin Paul was coming to their
house from Spokane and she was expected to stay home and
entertain him.
Later that afternoon it occurred to Mary that her folks would
not have to know my Dad was not home. She planned to ask them if
she could take Paul to my place so they could go riding on our
horses. She also said that Paul had used to peep at her when she
was bathing so we might end up fucking him.
I was very leery of this as being raised in a Catholic school
the nuns had told us all our life how evil boys were. I was
worried he might tell someone or make me pregnant. Mary put my
fears to rest by saying there would be no one he could tell. He
did not know anyone in town and would be going back Sunday in
order to be in school monday. As far as pregnancy was concerned
there would be no problem as she had told the druggist that her
Mother had misplaced her birth-control pills and had a supply
just in case this opportunity came along. Paul was seventeen and
had a car so he would be gone before my dad got back.
I had a lot of misgivings about the probability of sex with a
boy. I was a devout Catholic and had been drilled by the nuns
over and over about the evils of sex before marriage. The nuns
also gave the impression that sex was just a part of a wife's
duties in order to have children. There was no indication it may
be pleasurable. In fact they dealt in length on the pain and
humiliation of the first time. I made up my mind to go along with
Mary and Paul but to forego the sex.
On thursday Mary told me that she had a long telephone
conversation with Paul and that he had decided to cut school
friday and would be at her place in time to take us to my place
in his car. I wondered what all she had told him.
