I wasn't raised to be mean to girls. But a guy can only take so much.
Ashley and I were H.S. seniors and had been assigned to work together on a project. She'd been on vacation for a week before the assignment was due...and that meant we had a lot of last-minute stuff to get done over that weekend. Her dad worked at this little radio station located in the middle of a farm field. There was a small building there with the studios, plus a little mobile home beside it for the station offices. But this was the weekend, and only the guy on the air was there...and he was out in the building. The office had a heavy-duty copy machine, and her dad figured it would be cheaper for us to do our work there than go to Kinko's. And, what the heck...we were both 18. It wasn't like we needed any major oversight. At least, it seemed like we shouldn't.
Cindy was cute. Blonde, attractive, sparkly personality, and glasses. But, you know how it is. Someone either catches your interest, or they don't. She didn't interest me. I had a girlfriend, anyway. I just wasn't looking. Plus...I knew how much we had to get done that day. So I didn't have anything else on my mind...except getting done and getting home to watch some college basketball that afternoon.
However, Cindy was very interested in me. Some girls play hard-to-get...some are subtle with their flirting. She was very much "out there". She loved to flirt. Hell, so did I. Words never really meant all that much anyway. But, I guess she decided that that day, without my girlfriend around, she might have a shot. Or maybe it was a spur-of-the-moment thing. I'll probably never know.
Anyway...some of the collating trays on the copier had issues...papers would spill on the floor as they began to sort, etc. So it became my job to grab them and hold them in my hands, between my fingers...to keep from having to hand-sort them after the fact. It was actually somewhat comical watching me try to keep track of all the pages. All the fingers on both hands completely occupied. Cindy walked over with a rolled up piece of paper in her mouth and pulled it out slowly...smiled, and said: "Gotta light, big boy?" I smiled back. Yeah, she was a nice enough girl.
But, for whatever reason...who knows...just her personality, I guess...she couldn't let it go. Next, she came up behind me and tried to tickle my sides at the waist. I'm a little ticklish, but not much...so I was able to resist until she gave up in frustration.
