Most people didn’t know he cared—the average person sees someone tall and assumes they are happy about it. Well, not when they’re sixteen and a ...oot taller than everyone else. He carried himself as if he didn’t care, but I knew he did. A couple of his close friends knew, but for the most part he smiled and laughed at all the jokes; sometimes he even made them himself. “Why would you think I didn’t like Kinsey?” he frowned. I paused while looking for the pants I wanted. He was gay, but still,. Pandemonium would best describe the next few seconds. Everyone jumped at least a foot in whatever direction they happened to be facing. Doug slammed into the tile wall and fell back on his ass. Roger lost his grip on his bar of soap and it skittered across the floor with him sliding right behind it.Steve backed up against the opposite wall and doubled over laughing. Lamont froze in place and dropped his soap, too. I picked it up and started to soap my own body down. Lamont turned slowly to look. The kiss breaking only briefly for her to strip each item from me in turn. She was even stronger than I’d thought. I couldn’t speak, every time I tried she just kissed me again, harder, rougher. Teeth clashing, eyes burning.Next came her own armour, piece by piece. Clang and clamour. Soon the both of us were down to padded undergarments. Shapeless, spotted with rust and oil. She didn’t seem to care, her hands grasping at me, pressing me into the wall. This time she did not kiss me, but instead. “I need a will and one of those papers that says when it’s my time they won’t be putting all kind of tubes in me.”“I can do that for you but let me ask you a few questions first” and he took out a notepad.“Do you own a home?”“Not anymore, I sold it six years ago and moved in with my daughter Jules.”“What happened to the money you received for selling your home?”“I gave it all to my daughter. I did that because she read something that said I needed to be penniless if I was to get sick and needed.
