me. I would show him my feisty self, and besides, I always made a point to leave the guy with some sort of memory.
“Okay , just for fun,” I said as I looked up to the clouds in the blue sky. I tried to process what I had just agreed to but decided it didn’t matter. It was such a beautiful day and I wanted, no needed, to stay in the moment. I couldn’t live in my past regrets and I didn’t even want to think about the future. Teagan would be fun.
He smiled the widest smile I’d seen from him yet and opened his door to get out. When I met him at the back of the car, he took my hand with a firm grasp and we headed towards the trail. So, the summer romance began.
Teagan and I walked up the path towards the lookout point . The large green field stretched across to an amazing view of Massachusetts Bay Community College. We found a ledge of rocks to sit on and I motioned for him to join me as I plopped down. I pulled a Marlboro Red out of my pocket and lit it.
“Can I get one of th ose?” he asked.
I nodded and handed him a cigarette. After we stared at the green field in silence for a while, I pointed to the big brick building and said, “I’m starting school there in two weeks for summer courses. It’s just two classes but I should start on my degree while I’m still young, right?” I smiled.
“Do you work?” he asked.
“No, not yet. I just got back into town. I have a few interviews this week for administrative stuff. I did some of that when I lived in Portland, so I’m sure I’ll find something.” I nodded with certainty. I really only had one interview with a small financial firm close to my house that paid minimum wage and looked like a data entry position. Boring data entry. It was a bit embarrassing, but Teagan didn’t need to know that. I also didn’t want to tell him.
I was taking the pre requisites for the actual accredited courses because I blew my SATs and all other gauging tests. Those important tests just weren’t my thing. They measured how smart people were, and as far as I was concerned, I was average. Street smart was a whole different story, or so I thought.
I sat straight up and flicked my cigarette to the ground, half finished , and crossed my arms against my chest. I couldn’t help feeling inadequate in that moment. Teagan would see there was nothing special in me eventually.
“Are you cold? ” he asked in concern.
“Maybe a little. Oregon is milder than here. Even when it rains, there isn’t a drop in the temperature. When it’s blazing hot, then it drops 5 degrees, people notice in Boston. Plus, we’re sitting in the shade,” I replied, nudging him.
“Come here .” He pulled himself back from the ledge, opened his arms to me then put me in between his legs. We sat quietly for a moment and a jolt of electricity went through my body when he nuzzled my neck, giving little tickles and licks. When he licked the back of my ear, I started laughing.
“Ticklish?” he asked with amusement as I looked at him.
“I guess so. I just didn’t know I was ticklish there.” I laughed.
“Hmmmm… Where else are you ticklish?” he asked playfully.
“ I am NOT telling you that,” I said urgently.
“Well, I gue ss I’ll just have to find out,” he said, amused.
“Maybe ,” I replied with a teasing voice.
He flicked his cigarette and t wisted my body to face him. His warm lips kissed my red, cold nose then softly kissed my lips. We stayed like that, breathing each other’s air in. He began to probe my mouth open with his lips until they parted, asking for more. When my tongue dipped onto his, his body shuddered and he immediately cupped my face. It wasn’t messy. It was passionate and familiar from Friday night. It was demanding. We kissed as he held onto me so I didn’t slide off the rock. Eventually, I realized that my hand was on the back of his neck, urging him for more.
I didn’t really know Teagan, but in some way, he made me feel like I was the only
