As we held each other we just stood there watching the sunset slowly creep down onto the west coast being at complete peace. That is until she turned ...round into my arms, looked up at me with eyes as beautiful as the sunset and she came on her tip toes and kissed me. All I could do at this point was to keep holding her and kissing her like time had just stood still. Finally when time started to tick again we put our shoes back on and walked back to my place, my arm around her waist, her arm.

But she demanded that I go. Well. I didn't. Maybe she had some of her football friends in there and they were going to beat me up. Then she said that some of her friends were waiting on top of the bleachers and they would beat me up if I didn't go in. Gosh, Tina, I really didn't want to." Herbert interrupted himself."Okay, Herbert. Then what." Tina was surprised at her calmness. The boy was a total nerd. Maybe she didn't like him. No. She did. She was afraid she was going to have to kill him. This was the time for my morning swim, before he woke, while the day was still new, quiet, and at peace. But my eyes dropped right back to b**st. No, not this morning. For some reason the swim would wait today but b**st couldn’t, or more accurately, my need for b**st couldn’t wait.I watched him sleeping. He had licked me last night upon his return. That I was now confident in. Perhaps for the same intention. Perhaps he had wanted me then, needed me then, as I now wanted, needed him. He hadn’t.
