Furry Hands

I'll tell you more about that horoscope stuff later. I'm dying to tell you this other thing.

It was about 4:30 at our high school. The building was pretty deserted 'cause last bell is 3:15. I had soccer drills at 5 and Miriam had modern dance at 4:30. She locked eyes with me and then looked both ways around the hall to check we were alone.

She pushed me from the shoulders against a locker and started kissing me. I think I said something like, "Mrgph-rph."

Then she said, "Should I stop?"

I yelled, "No!" I tried to control the kiss more, leaning in. Her lips were so soft. 

She checked her watch and said, "Oh no! I need to go. But..."

She looked one more time around the wall and slipped her palm into my pants.

"Miriam! Are you nuts?" I didn't want her to stop but I was confused. Later that day, I thought it was hilarious that the word I used was "nuts."

She just gave it a firm squeeze and took off. I have no idea what's gotten into her. I didn't think she was like that, like this wild. 

Just to be clear, yes her touch felt amazing and I wanted to scream for joy.

But all evidence to the contrary aside, I'm not an idiot. First, if a teacher saw us, we could get suspended or something, I think. Second, if a kid saw us, then rumors could spread and Miriam would look really bad. 

Then there's a third thing. This is probably the dumbest. But, I wanna be the one pushing her up against a locker. Okay, wait, scratch that. It's like if we were married and I took her name. I wanna be the man.  I don't want Miriam to sound like a bitch, because she isn't. But if once in a while she pretended like she was waiting for me to take the lead, I'd like that.

The next day I wanted to talk to her about all of it but she completely ignored me.
