So we were 16 on the 10th grade band trip and we were bunked in the same hotel room, all psyche about the next day. Then, suddenly we got a call from ...ne of our friends saying to turn the TV. to channel 7. We did and saw there was a bit of hard core porn on and naturally i reacted by turning it off. We looked at each other and laughed nervously and went on to something else. About ten minutes later, Zach got the guts to ask if I would mind if we could take a look a that porno for just a bit. I. She propped herself on one elbow, showing me her breasts. “He told me you wanted to go out with me but were afraid to ask.”“I'll kill him. What else did he tell you?”“He said you were hopeless. Said you claimed to have had lots of girlfriends. He thinks you're lying.”“I'm not lying.”“Then why were you so awkward about it with me? Girls aren't supposed to be the aggressor.”“It's 1969, Loni. The rules have changed. Women are considered equal to men.”“Women ARE equal! But we're not used to. I make sure I make good use of my share, because I’m gonna need to do a lot of forgetting this week. I dread Saturday, because I know it’s my only day to ‘pay my debts’ before I’m hunted down. I don’t want Lonny in any more trouble because of the shit I seem to get myself into.………………………………………………………………………………………. I get home Monday evening to find Tyler in a splendid mood. He’s all smiling, very busy making some sort of great-smelling dinner, and he’s so preoccupied he doesn’t notice me. I sit. Me, I knew my way around hints. Well, no, I sucked at them actually, but I knew that it was a loud and clear invitation, and I was more than ready to face the storm. I had no idea how true those words would ring. Dressing in my best clothes, a pair of pants and a t-shirt – I'm a struggling artist, keep your criticism to yourself – I bought a long stemmed red rose and drove to her place. My heart was floating in my chest with happiness. We would finally be able to continue from where we had.
