”I know nothing,” I admit. “I know they taught us something about the female anatomy when I was in school, but I’ll be honest. I only paid attention to the boobs and the pussy areas.”
She shakes her head at me but can’t meet my eyes. Every time I say the wordpussy, she gets shy on me.
”So…” I rock her back and forth a couple of times. “What should we do? Go out? Watch a movie?”
She stares at me in shock.
”Did I say something wrong?”
”Uh, well…” She clears her throat nervously. “I didn’t expect you to want to stay since we can’t, uh, you know…”
”Fuck?” I help her out.
”Not as crass, but yes.” She rolls her eyes again. “Anyway, I thought you wouldn’t be here, and…”
”And what?” I ask when she hesitates.
“I was looking forward to a warm bath,” she says. “And then, I was going to work on something for work. I am still getting caught up with things from when I took time off two weeks ago.”
My initial thought had been that I would stay and hang out with her until I have to go home. After all, it’s not like I can’t control myself, no matter how hard she makes me. But it sounds like she has all these things she wants to do, and for which I’d be in the way.
I kiss the side of her head. “If you’re doing all that, I think I’ll go home, and work on some things, too,” I tell her. “I create my best work at night.”
Zara turned wide eyes at me. “You do?”
”Yeah.” I lift one shoulder as it to say it’s no big deal. “I don’t know when it started, but it’s nice at night. There is no background noise from the outside, and I can focus better.”
She continues staring at me for the longest time.
”What?” I laugh. “I’m kind of a night owl.”
”Is that why you were late that morning at the diner?”
That’s when we got into a fight, which led to us initiating a new phase in our brand new non-relationship.
”Yes,” I now tell her. “I was running on very low sleep. I’m sorry for being late.”
Her face changes, becoming softer somehow, and more understanding. She places her hands on each side of my face before reaching up to kiss me on the lips.
It is the most chaste kiss of my life that’s coming from a girl I have sex with. But it is the best in the world.
”You really are the sweetest, Kyle. Do you know that?”
Zara’s words touch me in a way that she can’t even imagine. I’ve always been the funny guy of any group I was part of. When it came to women, I was always down for a good time, lot of times even for repeats. But no one has ever accused me of being the sweets.
“Only for you, babe.” I guess that’s true since she’s the only one who’s ever felt this way about me.
Her cell phone ringing interrupts out moment. I am disappointed when she presses her hands against my shoulders to stand up, but I let her go. I remain seated, a smile on my face as I watch her talking to whoever just called.
“No, I will have it done and ready for you to review first thing in the morning…”
Her words echo through the apartment, fading a bit when she enters her bedroom. She shows back up a few moments later, with a laptop in the hand that’s not holding the phone. She places it on the kitchen table and powers it on.
It looks like I am already out of her mind as she sets up her workstation. I guess she really meant it when she said tonight was not a good time. I hate the fact that she thought I wouldn’t want to stay with her unless we had sex, but I don’t want to be in her way either.
Standing up, I look for my own phone and car fob, then I walk over to where she’s standing. I tap her on the shoulder, and I chuckle when she turns startled eyes my way.
“I’m gonna go,” I mouth to her. “Call me later?”
