Team Manager 1: SWISH!
Chapter 16
THE NEXT GAME, the following week, was a home game. Dennis dutifully taped up Diane, Rosie, and Amy while the rest of the girls ran around in matching white undies for the home game. Somehow, Dennis found the plain white underwear to be more erotic than the red because it just looked like underwear. The three girls did their level best to tease him, but Dennis had to finish so he could get the score sheets and starting lineup to the scorers and make sure the timekeeper was comfortable with the board. The mighty Angelines were holding a three-and-one season going into the halfway point game. People expected this to be the one they fell apart at as they were playing a class 5A team from Des Moines. They had a full roster of players plus five coaches and two team managers. They were the first girls’ team Dennis had seen that had another male manager. The school was huge—like eight or ten times the size of Bartley. But the team wasn’t very good. It was apparent the coaches had chosen to add Bartley to their schedule to get an easy win on their record.
It didn’t work. The girls swamped the visitors and the thirty-five-point continuous clock was invoked in the third quarter. Coach Graves really tried to find a combination of her players that would let the visitors score a few points. But, although Bartley’s scoring slowed down, the other team just couldn’t make a basket. With Amy and Brenda moved to forward, the visitors still couldn’t snag a rebound. Three minutes into the fourth quarter, the coach from the other team called a time-out and went to talk to Coach Graves. They conceded the game under the mercy rule with a spread of over forty points. And it wasn’t that Bartley had been so deadly on their shots and ran the score up. The visitors had only scored nineteen points in the entire game!
The girls went out to greet the other team, almost ashamed of their win. They hugged every member of the team and encouraged them to keep practicing and not get discouraged. Dennis shook hands with the managers of the other team and they laughed about even Bartley’s manager being a little but powerful member of the team. The boy suggested that Dennis probably could have beaten their entire team by himself, even if he wasn’t able to see. Dennis took that as a compliment, but he rather thought it was a derogatory dig toward their own team who couldn’t beat a blind man.
Dennis took the racks of basketballs down to the equipment cage and went to untape the girls. He called through the door that he was ready for them whenever they were ready. The door opened a crack and Natalie’s hand reached out to drag Dennis into the locker room. Rosie was first to have the tape cut from her ankle, but by the time he’d finished, every other girl in the room was topless. And they were all just standing around as if waiting for their teammates. Rosie stood up and dropped her uniform shorts and pulled off her bra. She grinned at Dennis and went to stand with the other girls.
Diane was the most embarrassed of them all when she sat in front of Dennis to get her tape off.
“Now you can see how fat I really am,” she moaned. “And just two days before our practice date at the end of semester dance.”
“Diane, you’re not fat. You’re really pretty,” Dennis said.
“I didn’t say I was ugly. I said I was fat. You can’t answer me by saying I’m really skinny. I’ve looked in a mirror,” Diane said.
“Okay. I won’t say that,” Dennis said. He worked on the tape, only occasionally glancing up at Diane’s super-sized nipples. She definitely had the biggest areolae and the longest nipples of all the players.
“You won’t?” she asked.
“I won’t compete with what you say you see in the mirror. But you should know that I’ll be truly proud to practice dating you Saturday night. I think a lot of guys will be jealous of me.”
“You’re so sweet. I wanted to wallow in self-pity and you wouldn’t let me. This won’t be the only time I let you see my boobs.” She hopped up and gave him a kiss on the cheek that went just a little longer than most. Then she went to join the other girls. Finally, Amy sat in front of him and put a foot in his lap. Dennis couldn’t help but notice a dark band of moisture on the crotch of her panties. He was more interested in her little titties, though.
“I think you made them start growing,” she said. “I bet if you played with them again one night, they’d grow enough to fill my training bra.” Dennis paused and looked at her curiously.
“What do you train them to do?” he asked.
“Seriously? I guess I’ll train them to not flop around all over. That’s what bras are for. Girls with big chests end up with their nipples hanging down to their waists. I want my boobs a little bigger than this, but I don’t want them huge. I don’t even want them as big as Brenda’s, and she said, ‘Anything bigger than a mouthful is wasted.’ Funny, huh?” Dennis laughed. He didn’t think Brenda’s boobs were wasted and he knew from experience they were certainly more than a mouthful.
“Um… I guess,” he ventured. “Amy, I think you’re just perfect with little breasts or big ones. It’s that they’re attached to you that makes them so pretty.” The dark spot on Amy’s panties got bigger. Dennis finished removing the tape and sat back. Amy lunged toward him, almost knocking him off his stool, and planted a kiss right on his lips. Then she scampered over to the rest of the team. Dennis was a little dazed as he scooped up the shreds of tape to throw away.
“Den-nis,” Natalie called. He looked up to see all the girls lined up with their backs to him. Then they all reached into the waist of their panties and pulled them down, stepping out of them. They hustled into the shower, leaving a row of white panties on the floor.
Dennis shoved the waste into a basket and got out of the dressing room. He stopped outside the door and just leaned against it with his eyes closed for a moment, reliving the sight he had just been treated to.
“Are they too much?” Ardith asked. He hadn’t even realized she was beside him. “Teasing can become bullying too easily. You need to be honest with me and tell me if they are crossing the line. If they attempt to force you to do something, that’s bullying. Even if they just keep pestering you to do something until you break down and do it, that’s bullying. You need to tell me.”
“No ma’am. The girls are all sweet and I know they’d never do anything to hurt me. The teasing comes with the territory of being a boy on a girls’ team. But it’s nothing mean-spirited. I’d do anything for any of them, just because they treat me decently,” Dennis affirmed. They watched the visitors file out of the other locker room with their belongings and wished them all good luck as they went out to catch their bus.
Ardith went into the locker room to talk to the girls while Dennis went to change into his street clothes.
“Good game, ladies,” Ardith said as she entered the locker room. Two things caught her eye immediately. All the girls were in the shower, even though Dennis had just left the room, and the towel cart was just inside the door where all the girls had to parade across the locker room naked in order to get one. She started by pushing the cart over by the shower door, then went back to the door to wait for the girls to emerge.
In a few minutes, they did come out of the shower and nearly stumbled over the unexpected cart.
“He’s so nice,” Natalie said. “He brought us our towels.” She grabbed one and started vigorously rubbing her hair. It was only when Judith snatched a towel that she looked up.
“Coach!” Judith said as she scrambled to cover her nudity. The girls all grabbed towels and wrapped them around themselves.
“I expected you’d all be dressed since Dennis just left the room,” Ardith said.
“We’re not, um… doing anything bad, Coach,” Brenda said.
“Hmm? Running around naked teasing your team manager is nothing bad? He’s a boy. Do you have any idea how you affect him?”
“Coach, we check in with him a lot to make sure he’s not feeling bad or upset or abused,” Natalie said. “We’re not bullies and I even asked him if our teasing was too much.”
“As I did,” Coach asked. “Go ahead and get dressed. I’m not scolding you, but we need to talk a bit about this.”
The girls scrambled to grab their clothes and Ardith noted now many of them pulled shirts on without a bra and that Amy’s underwear was missing entirely. The girls all sat on the bench respectfully when they’d finished.
“First of all, is anyone in this room uncomfortable with what’s going on? Do you feel like you are being forced to do something in order to avoid criticism by your teammates? How do you feel about a boy at least catching glimpses of your nudity? How about the other girls?” The girls shook their heads as Coach asked questions.
“Coach,” Roberta said, “we’re all developing. Some of us are just beginning to get boobs and some of us have body issues. Being with Dennis is… giving us confidence. He appreciates us and encourages us. I don’t mean he encourages our sexuality, but he certainly appreciates it. He’s safe.”
“What about Dennis?” Ardith asked. “How long do you think you can tease a boy before it’s too much for him and he becomes no longer safe?”
“Coach, if Dennis was in really bad straits, I’d… I’d fuck him,” Amy said. There were a chorus of ‘me too’ around the room.
“Heck, Coach, even I’d go down on him,” Daniella said. “And all the girls know I’d… um… rather do them.”
Ardith shook her head trying to make sense of the teen girls who, by national average, should be particularly body shy. She didn’t notice any activity during the day at school that indicated otherwise, but they were hellions in the locker room.
“You all know, don’t you, that Dennis loves you?” Ardith said. “No, I don’t mean he cares for you. I mean he’s in love with each and every one of you. He cheers for each of you on the court as if you were his one and only girlfriend. He looks at each of you with the kind of pride and adoration I usually only see around couples who are newly in love. You aren’t just playing with his arousal. You are playing with his emotions. Someone could get very hurt.”
“Um… Coach? I think I’m in love with him,” Natalie said. “When we first got to know him and started giving him rides home, it was just figuring out where he fit with the team and testing to see if he’d react to us safely, even if we were a little wild. But I started to really like him and I think I love him.” It was a heartfelt confession and the girls began to mumble.
“Me, too,” Amy said. “He’s my fantasy.”
“I’m in on that as well,” Brenda said. “I might even have gone further with him than anyone else and I’d go all the way if he wanted.”
“Coach, we’re all in love with him,” Leanne said. “He isn’t just our manager, he’s our boyfriend.”
“God help him,” Ardith breathed. “I’m not going to say anything else. I’m not going to forbid anything, but I will ask you to review the school rules about PDAs and such. And most of all, I expect you to keep winning and not get distracted by your little games. I want you to come to me immediately if you’ve been hurt or pressured into anything. Even into getting your ankles taped. You’ve all had a chance to experience it now. I expect you to only use it when it is really doing you some good.” Ardith looked at them and nearly cried at the beautiful young women in the room. She sympathized with Daniella. “I worry about you. All of you. And I worry about Dennis. I want our team to be an example of how great athletics can be at Bartley High. Please, don’t let me down.” She turned and left the room.
It was unusual for all the girls to leave the locker room at once and just gather in the hall. Dennis took the towel bag to the dock and came back to get the uniforms to launder. He wondered whose underwear would be in the bag tonight. When he got back, the girls were all still there.
“We were thinking of all going to PJ’s for a Coke and a burger. You’ll come, won’t you, Dennis?” Leanne asked.
“Um… Sure. I don’t have much money, but I’ll sit with you. Thanks for including me.”
“Your burger and fries are on us,” Natalie said. “And the Coke.” They all headed out of the school together as Ardith watched from her doorway.
Outside the school, the group paused to figure out who was going in which of the three cars when a voice cut across the parking lot.
“Amy, Mom sent me to pick you up. Come on and let’s go.”
“I’ve got a ride,” Amy said, cuddling close to Brenda.
“Come on, brat. Don’t make me drag you.”
“No. You go ahead and I’ll be there soon.” Amy speed-dialed her mother’s phone number and waited for it to connect. They all heard the phone in Jerry’s pocket start to ring her mother’s distinctive ringtone.
“Mom wanted to make sure I could get in touch with you and my phone’s dead,” Jerry said lamely.
“What did you do with Mom?”
“Oh, don’t get your panties twisted. She’s already asleep with Dad.”
“You drugged them! Like you plan to drug me! I know what you have planned. I heard you talking the night of the blizzard.”
Lee and Harry got out of Jerry’s car and approached the group.
“Come on, Amy. We’ll be late.”
“Late for what, Lee? The kidnapping? Get lost. Unless you think you can take on all of us,” Dennis said, standing near Amy. “There aren’t enough of you here to do what you did to me last year.”
“Tough talk from the four-eyed runt. You better keep your ass greased because you’re next,” Lee growled. He reached for Amy and doubled up in pain as Brenda’s foot met his balls with all the force she could put into a kick. Jerry pushed him aside and reached for Amy. From somewhere deep inside, Dennis mustered all the strength he had and swung his fist at Jerry’s face. In spite of the difference in their heights, or maybe because of it, Dennis connected solidly with Jerry’s nose. He screamed.
“Harry, kill that little bastard!” Jerry yelled. The girls closed in around Amy and Dennis.
“Think you can take us all, Harry?” Roberta snapped at him. “Plan to rape all of us and sell us like you’re trying to do to Amy? Try us.”
Harry stepped forward and hesitated a minute, putting one massive hand on Jerry and one on Lee’s shoulders.
“Shit. I’m not going to fight a bunch of girls. Are you guys crazy? Let’s get out of here.” He shoved Lee and Jerry toward the car and went around to drive himself since Jerry was holding a bloody nose and Lee was still walking bent over. Just before Harry got in the car, he looked back at the team and started mimicking shooting them. It was so fast, the girls had no time to react but turned toward each other in a huddle. They were still there as the car peeled out.
“Mrs. Enders, we think you should know about what happened tonight,” Brenda said. She stood on one side of Dennis and Amy stood on the other, both holding his hands. Dot looked at the hands and then up at Brenda.
“Are you his…” She counted on her fingers. “…third girlfriend?”
“Um… actually, I think I’m fourth. Leanne got there before me,” Brenda said. “Anyway, there was a problem with that gang again tonight. Jerry Unger tried to convince Amy to come with him and Lee and Harry. We all know they plan to rape and sell her. And they threatened Dennis as well.”
“I need to call Mrs. Unger,” Dot said, going to the phone on the table.
“Don’t bother,” Amy said. “Jerry has Mom’s phone and we think he drugged her and Dad so they wouldn’t wake up to hear anything. If it wasn’t for our team meeting delaying us tonight, I’d probably have walked into the house and right into their trap. They apparently had a schedule they were going to follow and came to get me at school.”
“So, your house isn’t safe again, is that it?” Dot asked. Amy nodded.
“Can Amy stay here again tonight?” Dennis asked. “We promise… well, to be good.”
“I’ve no doubt,” Dot groaned.
“If it would make you more comfortable, I could stay, too,” Brenda said. “We girls have sleepovers all the time. We could just bed down on the floor in the living room.”
“And what about your parents?” Dot asked the former cheerleader.
“My parents kind of don’t care where I am. They’ll just assume I’m sleeping over with some boy. It’s the way they’ve always been.”
“And you will be,” Dot said. “Dennis, get your blankets and pillows out here and show your girlfriends where the extra toothbrushes are. Your father is out on the roads again. They expect more snow tonight.”
“There were some flurries on our way home,” Dennis agreed. “I sure hope he stays safe.”
“Me, too,” Amy said emphatically.
When Dot had inspected the layout of sleeping areas on the living room floor, she went to bed. She supposed it really wouldn’t hurt for Dennis to have a little experience as long as he was safe. That short blonde could certainly show him the ropes. Dennis had been acting even more maturely since he started managing the girls’ basketball team. Dot had put a box of condoms on his bedside table after the time that Amy girl stayed over. If this kept up, Dot needed to get the extra blankets out of the attic.
In the meantime, the three were busy shuffling their sleeping areas around so they were all next to each other instead of scattered around the living room. Amy sat on her bedding and pulled a jar from her bag.
“Um… Dennis?” She looked toward Brenda who smiled and nodded. “Uh… I’ve been having some trouble with my breasts being sore because they’re growing. Brenda got me some cream that soothes the ache. Would you put it on me?”
“On you?” he rasped.
“I’ll show you how,” Brenda whispered. Amy handed the jar of cream to Dennis as Brenda moved next to her and lifted her T-shirt above Amy’s forming breasts. “I always find it helps if you give them a little kiss to show them you love them first.” With that, she bent to kiss Amy’s right nipple and lick it gently. She motioned to Dennis and he bent to her left nipple. They spent a few minutes like that as Amy’s breathing sped up. “Just remember her breasts are sore, so be soft and gentle,” Brenda whispered.
She opened the jar of cream and took a bit on her fingers, then held the jar out to Dennis. He copied her again and soon both were gently massaging the cream into Amy’s tits. She threw back her head and clamped her lips together as she shook. Dennis glanced down and saw Amy’s hand was beneath the waistband of her sweats, moving rapidly. He recognized some of the signs from Brenda’s arousal and drew his fingers up Amy’s little mounds to lightly pinch the nipple. Amy’s mouth opened and Brenda immediately clamped hers over it to muffle Amy’s loud moan.
“Mmm. I love this cream,” Amy whispered as she came down. Brenda moved again to Dennis’s other side as the three lay down to sleep. “You could keep my breasts warm with your hands tonight,” Amy said as she pulled Dennis’s hand around her and onto the little swelling.
“You have two hands,” Brenda whispered. “My breasts get cold, too.” She pulled Dennis’s other hand around her and into her shirt so he cupped one of her luscious boobs. The girls settled under his arms and went to sleep.
Dennis lay awake on his back for a long time, just appreciating the feel of the breasts in his hands and the differences between them.
