When
I was in 10th grade I had this boyfriend. He was a year
younger than me and he worshipped the ground I walked on.
I really took advantage of him but that's another story.
Anyway, I used to ask him to ride his bike over to my house
around midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. I'd help him
through my bedroom window and he would land on my bed and we
would kiss and hold each other all night long. At dawn
he would sneak away, his ten speed quietly clicking off into
the sunrise.
As
the weeks passed, our kissing became more passionate and our
love deeper. Clothes were being removed and new realities
explored. One night we made tempestuous love and the head
board banged loudly against the wall of my parent's bedroom.
I heard my mom get out of bed to come and look in on me to see
if everything was all right. I leapt out of bed, whipped
a robe on and met her at the bedroom door. I sobbed like
a baby as I threw my arms around her, "Oh mom, I just had
the most horrible nightmare."
My
boyfriend remained utterly still, suffocating under the covers
for fifteen minutes while I allowed my mom to calm me down.
When
she went back to bed my boyfriend and I held each other in the
darkness, quietly giggling like mad.
