We kissed for hours in the front of the Chevette. She was tall and skinny and though she came across calm, I knew there was a pile of nerves in her thin frame coiled and waiting. Afraid. Somewhere in the middle of necking, with my mouth wide like I was afraid she would not know where my tongue was if I didn't give her an obvious sign, I opened my eyes and saw she was looking back. Hours later my jaw was sore but I went to bed licking strawberry lip gloss from the corners of mouth.
