A Little Older Now

I was watching her try out the new game I just got, she couldn’t keep any consoles in her house… something about trying to impress boys. If only they knew she was a total dork when she could get her hands on the controller.

“Sarah?” I asked.

She turned to me, “Yeah what’s up Ry?”

She had always called me Ry, ever since we were kids. I didn’t really like it, I sometimes felt like it was the seed, or bean, or whatever. I wish she would call me Ryan, but she had that sorta childhood nextdoor neighbor older-than-you kinda thing going on, really dark, long hair that rested on her shoulders perfectly, but then also somehow flew down her back so simply. I couldn’t argue with her since she actually was three years older than me, but that also meant she knew more than I did.

“I kinda… like this girl…”

She turned, this got her interested, “Is MY little Ry finally growing the fuck up? That’s so cute!”

I blushed, “I just didn’t really want a girlfriend until now you fucking jerk.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah, so what’s the scoop? Did you ask her out? Are you already going out? Did you already fuck?”

My face turned full red now, “It’s… no! I just think she’s kinda cute, and I was told she’s kinda into me?”

She somehow got ahold of a pen, and was now tapping her chin like some sort of psychologist, “Mhm… So you want advice on how to ask her out?”

“Yeah basically.”

“And then what to do after… OUCH YOU SHIT.” I caused her to stop by strongly chucking my phone from my hand to her stomach.

“Sorry! That’s just a lot Sarah! Like I haven’t even kissed anybody yet how am I supposed to…”

Suddenly I couldn’t speak, Sarah’s lips were pressed against mine. I didn’t really know what I was doing so I matched the rhythm of her kiss, trying to return it the best I possibly could. Every time her tongue started to swirl around mine, mine did the same back to hers. Every time she bit on my lip, I bit back, one of the times I heard what I almost thought was a slight groan, leading into her hand grabbing my waist a little harder. Every time she tried to suck the air out of my lungs, I pulled it back.
