The next day
I met him at the store.
I waited a while
Because we never said a time.
When he finally walked up,
My heart started
Thrashing
In my chest.
I couldn't stand,
So I waited
For him
To sit beside me.
He didn't.
He stood.
Staring at me.
So I stood
And stared back.
Come with me
He finally said.
And against my better judgement
I did.
We walked a few blocks
To a vacant skate park.
Run down.
Looked like a carnival
For homeless people.
He sat on a bench
And lit a cigarette.
He offered me one
And I said no.
You say no to me a lot.
He smirked.
I blushed
"Fine I'll have one,
But only one."
He tossed the pack over.
I've never seen you before.
New?
"New."
I let him go on about
Things to do here
For a while
While I smoked.
When he was finally finished with
His cigarette
He looked at me
The movie theatre is a block away
You in?
My treat.
"Why not."
I tried to act cool and not talk much
I felt boring.
So I smiled at him.
He smiled back.
"This is the first time
I've
Ever
Been to the movies
With a guy."
He glanced at me
With what I used to see
As interest and passion
But what I now see
As perversion
In his eyes.
So you're
Innocent?
My face lit up like fire
I was so embarrassed.
"No... Do I seem innocent?"
He just smirked.
