I am a big martial arts fan. I don’t know if I would say I am a fanatic but I would say I can appreciate it as an art, a sport, a tradition, and even an important part of history. I never expected to land in a conservative Christian martial arts school but it was the least violent one and apparently my parents thought it wasn’t too expensive. I had worked my way up through the ranks and got to black belt. I was an assistant instructor and would help the head instructor with new students or take care of the younger ones while he focused on the older ones.
By the way, it sucks teaching a young kid martial art. They forget it the second you turn around and they think its just for play. One day in walks this blonde girl. Let’s call her AL. The instructor says hi AL, it’s been a while. Turns out she use to be a student and wanted to come back to it after a couple years away. She doesn’t have the proper clothing on but she wanted to come and see if she missed it enough to come back. They talked for a while. Afterwards he told me that she is an old student and she has a great kick. A couple of days later she came back with the proper uniform for a free class. After some warm up drills, we do a little bag kicking. I was holding the bags for everyone kicking. She steps up and smiles. She lands a really strong kick; I was impressed. At the end of every class, we do a little sparing, since that is when you are exhausted and you never have ideal conditions when trouble does happen. The instructor paired me up with her and told me to test her. I knew she had a strong kick so I was prepared for that. As we are sparing, I see an opportunity to go in for a punch, and then out of nowhere a kick flies up and stops right in front of my face. Wow, she really can kick. After class I went up and told her good job and asked if she was going to start coming more often. She smiled and said yes. A couple of months go by and we keep sparing and pushing each other but also talking about life. Eventually I ask her out on a date.
Scene 1: AL
I take AL out on our first date. She didn’t have a car so I went to pick her up at her house. Her mom had brought her to the martial arts school, so I already knew her. Her mom actually really liked me. We went to a movie. I’ll never forget this part; we hadn’t decided what movie to watch and by the time we got there most movies had already started. The only options left were a children’s movie or a horror movie. We ended up watching a horror movie. I remember it because even years later, we stayed friends, she would bring it up how she had never expected the martial arts instructor to take her to a horror move on the first date. We watched the movie. There was actually no kissing during the movie but she did hold on to me for most of the movie. After the movie I took her home and she told me that her mom doesn’t let her close the door but if we stayed outside, we would have more privacy. This is months after Brazil, so I was excited. We laid in the grass and kissed. I call her kiss the fish face. She didn’t open her mouth much. After kissing she asked if I wanted to dry hump her. I said sure since I had no idea what it was and I thought it would be exciting. It was the most boring thing ever. I would lay down and rub on her but what was actually happening is that I would either rub my leg or the zipper part of my jeans just so she can feel something. Looking back on it I think it was a way for her to get off, or get close to it, without having sex. This was all she wanted. She didn’t want to touch my dick, she didn’t want me to touch her under her clothes, the only thing she wanted to do was dry hump. Well at the time I was just happy someone was interested in me. I kept doing this with her. Sometimes she would go to martial arts and I would take her home and do this in her bed with her. After a while I couldn’t take it anymore but I didn’t know what to say. On our third date she told me she wanted to go to an ice rink she use to frequent when she was younger and she still knew people there. I took her there and we spent almost all night there. I met a lot of people that day and they were all younger than me. A lot of the guys wanted advice or to ask me questions, and I thought the girls wanted the same. The following week, AL couldn’t go out so I went to the ice rink by myself and that’s when everything changed.
