I didn’t answer him at first, I didn’t know whether I should deny it or admit to it. “Elaine?” he asked me tilting his head, making sure I was...paying attention.“So what if I have?” I asked. I hated that I sounded so defensive.“I am sorry about the other night, but what happened, I couldn’t avoid it.” The smug look returned to his face when he said to me, “I had no idea you liked me so much and put such store in my visits.”“It’s a business transaction, nothing more,” I said in a steely. I went to the bedroom in the morning to get dressed after my bath when I looked up I found the ceiling fan dangling in a funny angle.On scrutiny I found the hook fastening it to the roof has snapped and any moment it may fall on our bed. I rushed to the telephone and took out our directory and searched and found the telephone number of the electric shop where from we bought all our requirements and got repaired our electric fitting whenever they don’t function.The owner who recognized my voice. After what seems like a few minutes, its the end of the night and you look around for your friends but they've all gone. You tell me you'll get a cab but i offer you a ride as I have to drop my friend Jon, too. I call him over and i see you like the look of him. He's slightly tipsy, like you but you two get on great. In the car, you sit on the passenger seat and carry on play touching, without Jon noticing. I smile and shake my head. As we pull up to your house, you ask if we'd like to come in. Just around the corner should be a graveyard with some spots where I could hide away from the rain.And it was. Soon enough I found a dry spot, brushed some leaves into a pile and put my blanket on top. That would do for tonight. I sat down, pulled my legs up to my chest and closed my eyes.Without warning the memories came back. His face, so close to mine, his arms around me, his lips on mine. This time I did not fight them. I let them wash over me, cover me like a blanket.It was our first.
