Just Like the Movies

Just Like the Movies

I made this high on brownies. True story tho, enjoy:

It was the third date and we had just finished up at the movies. He suggested that we go somewhere. I gave a shy “okay” smiley nod and then followed him out onto the street. We walked for a while trying to find the perfect private place. As we walk past his old high school, he says, “What about up there?” with his finger pointing to his old school’s grandstand. I say “okay” and we climb up the stairs to the top bench.

We chat for a while both giving each other the “I wanna kiss you” vibes, flirting back and forth. Next thing you know we kiss, which escalated to a hot makeout sesh and eventually to something more. Before I knew it, the clothes were off and I was on top of him. Everything was going good until a man and his dog began to walk past in the dark. I koala-cling to my date’s chest trying to cover up the front goods as much as possible. We awkwardly giggle into each others necks as we wait for him to pass by, hoping our naked bodies were invisible in the dark. Once he’s out of sight, we continue on, with him covering up my mouth to keep me quiet. We both finished up, then walked back to where we had parked our cars, say our final kiss goodnight and thank each other for what a wonderful time we both had. Classic date ending.

I went to bed that night smiling. The next day I was telling my bestie all about it. She starts laughing and says, “You know they have cameras in there right?”

Surely I can claim royalties.
