As always, we were early. By three quarters of an hour. Would there ever be a need to explain why?
The room to seat a class of forty five was all to the two of us. New as we were to being a couple, there was but one thing on our mind.
The pillars stood by the side, splitting the room equally along the middle from opposite walls. Her seat was right next to the pillar, mine in the centre back of the room. Dumping my sparse bag on my desk, I was by her in a flash. For two whole years we had been friends. So very comfortable with the separated nearness from each other. And now, for the last few weeks, the distance was indistinguishable. Nineteen years old and we had both crossed bases.
No words were spoken. The seconds whisked away in a rush, yet there seemed to be no change in anything. We were frozen in every second spent.
There was a slight tremble in her fingers as mine reached for them. An explosion of heat and current and passion grasped us. The fingers were in a waltz to the music of their own, with the hands setting the stage on empty air. My lips were tracing words on her soft ears, whispering voiceless words. And her lips answered with a twirl of indescribable beauty. Lighting up her face, lighting up the world.
As my face fell full over hers, my lips just above hers, she was up on her feet exactly before the lips could unite. The gentle sport was the most perfect foreplay. The fingers still together, in an unstoppable dance, showed the way. Before her feet had registered her standing on them, I was up. Pinning her. The wall and the pillar on two sides, and I on the third. Even if willing, there was no escape. But she was unwilling.
Our palms were one, as the fingers locked. The foreplay had reached the end as I moved in, with her welcoming. I drowned in her shy gaze, falling headlong into the pool. Falling into her warm embrace. The second our lips met, everything dissolved into the bright darkness as our eyes closed shut.
