Party Story #2

Saturday night's June monthly party, entitled "Explosions". Here's something interesting that happened.



We were all talking about sex a lot.
"Don't kid around with me. We can go out in the woods and do it right now." I said to Adam.
Geoff walked up.
"There's a couch in the woods." I told them.
"Let's go find the couch."
"Do you guys really want to?"
"Yeah."
"Ok, I'll find a flashlight."
I wandered inside to ask Carl where his flashlight was. It was out where we had shot fireworks earlier in the night. I found it among the leftover fireworks and brown paper sacks. Adam kept walking past me, around to the front of the house. I followed.
"I have a flashlight, what are you doing?"
"Micah has a better flashlight."

After the flashlight retrieval, and a quick call to Geoff who never responded, just Adam and I headed into the woods in search of The Couch.
We stumbled around for awhile before we came to the edge of a clearing. We really couldn't go any farther.
"So... what do we do now?" I said.
"I don't know."
"We should probably head back before I do something inappropriate." I walked past him. He didn't follow.
"You can't do anything inappropriate to me."
I turned around and walked close to him, too close for comfort. "Are you sure?" I kissed him full on the mouth. It was a real kiss but simple. Less intense than you would expect for being in the woods in the dark with someone you barely know.
"What are you thinking?" he asked me.
"That is the number one question you are not allowed to ask a person in times like these."
I leaned against a nearby tree, and he hung his light, a big square emergency light, from a branch on that tree. I put my flashlight in my back pocket and kissed him again. He let it go a little longer but still pulled away.
"Well," I started, "I think you're cute."
"Thanks. I think you're very pretty."
"Thank you."
We paused for a second, looking around at the woods.
"So don't you have a girlfriend?" I asked.
