They got out of the taxi, choosing to walk the rest of the way home. They liked walking together, it was calm, comforting, and a chance to spend more time to talk. It was Halloween and she was looking for a place to party, but that wasn't his thing. She asked him to go with her but he insisted not to. They both began to feel guilty for not planning on spending the night together, knowing they don't often have much time to spend with one another. He looked at her cautiously as they walked, trying to figure out what compromise they could do to see each other. He grabbed her arm as he had an idea, "I know this playground nearby, it'll be empty and closed now, I know a way we can sneak in and we can drink there, I know I'd enjoy that, would you?" His hand now going lower down her arm towards her hand, he rubbed his thumb against her palm waiting for her answer.
She knew what this invite could lead to and her heart began racing thinking about them in that manner. "Sure" she managed, with a smile, doing her best to hide her childish excitement. They ordered a taxi and while waiting, walked to a store to buy a bottle of Absolut and some plastic cups. They got in the car, their eyes on one another as they waited impatiently to get there, his hand on her thigh in the meantime, indicative of what's to come. The stares from the taxi driver were thrilling to her, exciting her even more, making her wish her friend would maybe move his hand up just a bit more, perhaps till it was under her skirt where the driver would have to rely on his imagination to guess what was going on. Unfortunately, her friend did nothing of the sort, leaving her to tease herself with her thoughts. She calmed herself down, knowing nothing out of the ordinary had to happen tonight, she was just overly excited. Yet he did not seem to agree with her hypothesis, his grip on her thigh tightening slightly yet noticeably, his desire for her apparent in his eyes. The taxi reached the playground and they got off, leaving a tip as compensation for his potential discomfort.
They snuck into the playground, his hand carefully guiding her from under her skirt as he helped her climb the surrounding fence, not being greedy with what he grabbed. She got past the fence and watched him climb it with ease, he must've done this many times before, he knew the fence so well. They walked to a swing where they could both sit facing one another and they sat with his knee between her legs and her knee between his. They poured the first shot and drank together, looking for conversation in the silent night around them.
Her eyes stared into him for a while, contemplating the atmosphere around them. They were alone in the dark, in a playground well past the time when children were in their beds. She's kissed him before but she's never done more, despite his numerous attempts at touching her. He was always respectful of course, stopping any action if he sensed her discomfort. She was rarely uncomfortable around him, feeling safe within his presence. The sexual desire between them was never something too strong to control.
Yet, today she felt something different. She had a feeling of desire that was more than sexual. Perhaps the single shot of vodka they drank together had something to do with it, or maybe it was her sober lust for him that drove her. They were sitting on a swing when he put his hand on her thigh, dragging it upwards slowly, looking for a red light to stop him or a green light to push him on. It wasn't long before she was sitting on the very edge of the swing to be as close to him as possible, her skirt unable to cover her bare ass from the cold metal underneath her.
