THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FLEA
Chapter 1
Soon after commencing in a quiet and friendly way my little attentions, the young girl in common with the rest of the congregation rose to depart, and I, as a matter of course, determined to accompany her.
I am very sharp of sight as well as of hearing, and that is how I saw a young gentleman slip a small folded piece of white paper into the young lady’s pretty gloved hand, as she passed through the crowded porch. I had noticed the name Bella neatly worked upon the soft silk stocking which had at first attracted me, and I now saw the same word appeared alone upon the outside of the billet-doux. She was with her Aunt, a tall, stately dame, with whom I did not care to get upon terms of intimacy.
Bella was a beauty—just sixteen—a perfect figure, and although so young, her soft bosom was already budding into those proportions which delight the other sex. Her face was charming in its frankness; her breath sweet as the perfumes of Arabia, and, as I always said, her skin as soft as velvet. Bella was evidently well aware of her good looks, and carried her head as proudly and as coquettishly as a queen. That she inspired admiration was not difficult to see by the wistful and longing glances which the young men, and sometimes also those of the more nature years cast upon her. There was a general hush of conversation outside the building, and a turning of glances generally towards the pretty Bella, which told more plainly than words that she was the admired one of all eyes and the desired one of all hearts—at any rate among the male sex.
Paying, however very little attention to what was evidently a matter of every-day occurrence, the young lady walked sharply homewards with her Aunt, and after arrival at the neat and genteel residence, went quickly to her room. I will not say I followed, but I ‘went with her,’ and beheld the gentle girl raise one dainty leg across the other and remove the tiniest of tight and elegant kid boots.
I jumped upon the carpet and proceeded with my examinations. The left boot followed, and without removing her plump calf from off the other, Bella sat looking at the folded piece of paper which I had seen the young fellow deposit secretly in her hand.
Closely watching everything, I noted the swelling thighs, which spread upwards above her tightly fitting garters, until they were lost in the darkness, as they closed together at a point where her beautiful belly met them in her stooping position; and almost obliterated a thin and peach-like slit, which just showed its rounded lips between them in the shade.
Presently Bella dropped her note, and being open, I took the liberty to read it.
‘I will be in the old spot at eight o’clock to night,’ were the only words which the paper contained, but they appeared to have a special interest for Bella, who remained cogitating for some time in the same thoughtful mood.
My curiosity had been aroused, and my desire to know more of the interesting young being which whom by chance had so promiscuously brought me in pleasing contact, prompted me to remain quietly ensconced in a snug, though somewhat moist, hiding place, and it was not until near the hour named that I once more emerged in order to watch the progress of events.
Bella had dressed herself with scrupulous care, and now prepared to betake herself to the garden which surrounded the country-house in which she dwelt.
I went with her.
Arriving at the end of a long and shady avenue the young girl seated herself upon a rustic bench, and there awaited the coming of the person she was to meet.
It was not many minutes before the young man presented himself whom I had seen in communication with my fair little friend in the morning.
A conversation ensued which, if I might judge by the abstraction of the pair from aught besides themselves, had unusual interest for both. It was evening, and the twilight had already commenced: the air was warm and genial, and the young pair sat closely entwined upon the bench, lost to all but their own happiness.
“You don’t know how I love you Bella,” whispered the youth, tenderly sealing his protestation with a kiss upon the pouting lips of his companion.
“Yes I do,” replied the girl, naively, “are you not always telling me? I shall get tired of hearing it soon.”
Bella fidgeted her pretty little foot and looked thoughtful.
“When are you going to explain and show me all those funny things you told me about?” asked she, giving a quick glance up, and then as rapidly bending her eyes upon the gravel walk.
“Now,” answered the youth. “Now, dear Bella, while we have the chance to be alone and free from interruption. You know, Bella, we are no longer children ?”
Bella nodded her head.
“Well, there are things which are not known to children, and which are necessary for lovers not only to know, but also to practise.”
“Dear me,” said the girl, seriously.
“Yes,” continued her companion, “there are secrets which render lovers happy, and which make the enjoyment of loving and of being loved.”
“Lord!” exclaimed Bella, “how sentimental you have grown, Charlie; I remember the time when you declared sentiment was all humbug.'
“So I thought it was, till I loved you,” replied the youth.
“Nonsense,” continued Bella, “but go on, Charlie, and tell me what you promised.”
“I can’t tell you without showing you as well,” replied Charlie, “the knowledge can only be learnt by experience.”
“Oh, go on then and show me,” cried the girl, in whose bright eyes and glowing cheeks I thought I could detect a very conscious knowledge of the kind of instruction about to be imparted.
There was something catching in her impatience. The youth yielded to it, and covering her beautiful young form with his own, glued his mouth to hers and kissed it rapturously.
Bella made no resistance; she even aided and returned her lover’s caresses.
Meanwhile the evening advanced: the trees lay in the gathering darkness, spreading their lofty tops to screen the waning light from the young lovers.
Presently Charlie slid on one side; he made a slight movement, and then without any opposition he passed his hand under and up the petticoats of the pretty Bella. Not satisfied with the charms which he found within the compass of the glistening silk stockings, he essayed to ,press on still further, and his wandering fingers now touched the soft and quivering flesh of her young thighs.
Bella’s breath came hard and fast, as she felt the indelicate attack which was being made upon her charms So far, however, from resisting, she evidently enjoyed the exciting dalliance.
“Touch it,” whispered Bella, “you may.”
Charlie needed no further invitation: indeed he was already preparing to advance without one and instantly comprehending the permission, drove his fingers forward.
The fair girl opened her thighs as he did so, and the next instant his hand covered the delicate pink lips of her pretty slit. For the next ten minutes the pair remained almost motionless, their lips joined and their breathing alone marking the sensations which were overpowering them with the intoxication of wantonness. Charlie felt a delicate object, which stiffened beneath his nimble fingers, and assumed a prominence of which he had no experience.
Presently Bella closed her eyes, and throwing back her head, shuddered slightly, while her frame became supple and languid, and she suffered her head to rest upon the arm of her lover .
“Oh, Charlie,” she murmured, “what is it you do? What delightful sensations you give me.”
Meanwhile the youth was not idle, but having fairly explored all he could in the constrained position in which he found himself, he rose, and sensible of the need of assuaging the raging passion which his actions had fanned, he besought his fair companion to let him guide her hand to a dear object, which he assured her was capable of
