Better Hold Tight

Sexual Attraction

Catarina's POV

He looked at me like what I said was so outrageous. Doesn't everyone go around asking that? I guess not.

"What?" I ask. I didn't like the way that he was looking at me. It was actually starting to scare me. I didn't like being scared. "If you don't want to teach me, that's fine. I'll just-"

"No! No, it's not that. It's just," he takes a deep breath. "Why do you want to know?" I shrugged. I had no idea why I wanted to know. It just seems like everyone knows and I want to know, too! I hate being left out of things. It's like this one time when Gabby, Alex and Jade did this game at a party called 7 Minutes For Hell or Heaven, I don't remember. It was before either of them was dating Troy or Beck. I wanted to play too, but Gabby turned around with that soft smile on her face and said, "Cat, I think this game is a little too mature for you" which was completely untrue since I was the same age as everyone else there. They made me sit out and eat chocolate pudding and I wanted to play really badly because it looked like everyone was having a lot of fun. So I'm doing this because I want to be more mature.

"I think it's an important life lesson. That's how we got here, right?" That sounded like a good answer.

"Yeah," he nods. Yes! I got that right. See? I'm already learning. He turns to face me. "So, um, when do you want to start?"

"Whenever you want to start. I don't have anything to do so, how about right now? But before we start, can you please promise not to tell Gabby, Jade, or Alex? Oh, definitely not Alex. She doesn't even think I'm mature enough to have my own shampoo bottle." I cross my arms. I know I probably looked like a grumpy unicorn, but sometimes you have to be to get things done!

"Trust me, I won't be telling Alex anything." I get up and hug him.

"Oh thank you, Jason!" Out of nowhere, I came up with the most perfect nickname ever. "Hey, can I call you Sonny? Please?" He raises one of his eyebrows. I never understood how or why people did that. It makes you look really creepy. Well, it makes me look really creepy when I do it. But on him, it actually looks really cute. Hehe, he's cute. Should I tell him that? "You're cute."

"Um, thanks? I guess you're cute, too. And um, I guess you can call me Sonny. It's stupid as hell but, whatever." He shrugs. I lean over to hug him again.

"You smell really good." I keep sniffing his neck. I sit on his lap to get a better smell. He smells really good. "Oh my goodness! What do you use?" I lean back to look him in the face.

"Um, soap?" I laugh at him. He grabs me around the waist and plants me next to him.

"Was I too heavy?"

"No, you weren't. It was going to get awkward."

"Why?" I ask. I sit on Gabby's lap all the time. It never gets awkward. I tried sitting on Jade's lap once and she nearly stabbed me with her fork. It was a good thing I moved out the way. Gabby told me it was by accident, but Jade said it wasn't. I believed Gabby; I don't think Jade would ever want to hurt me. Alex, maybe.

"Ok, first lesson. Boys," I roll my eyes. At least I think I did. I can't really control when I do it. I hope I did it this time, though.

"Sonny, I know about boys."

"Not in the sexual way, you don't. Boys are very sexual human beings. All we think about is sex. If you sit on our lap, depending on who you are and what you're wearing, we can get hard. Do you know what that means?" I shake my head. I never knew humans could get hard. I know life can get hard. And I know that a job or activity can be hard. I've never heard of a person getting hard. "A boy getting hard means that his wankerdoodle," Hehe, wanker-doodle. He frowns when I laugh at that.
