Her first time

She wanted to do it. All her friends had. This was the right time. The right day. She just had to find someone to do it with. She looked around. He held her gaze. He had been watching her for a while. In the strangers eyes she saw understanding. Walking up to him, she asked if he would. Without missing a beat he answered in the affirmative. He took her hand and led the way. A cold chill running down her spine, her heart dancing to a different beat, she wondered if she was making a big mistake. A part of her told her not to go ahead with it. The stronger one told her that she had to, someday. Might as well be now.

They were finally there. He looked at her, he read her thoughts. The stranger did. ‘Scared?’ he asked almost smiling. She nodded. ‘Terrified’. They did not speak for a while, and then he placed his hand on her cold one. She looked up at him and murmured, ‘I’ve never done this before. Have you?’ He laughed a full laugh and said ‘yes’. ‘Don’t worry’ he said. ‘Close your eyes, it helps. Just loosen up. Relax. It'll be over before you know it.’ She said nothing.


And when they embarked on the journey, together, a million emotions burst within her, screaming, wailing, eyes moistened, feeling sensations she had never felt before and finally she threw her head back and looked at the stranger. It was nothing like she imagined it to be. It was only better! He took her hand in his once again and smiling he asked, ‘Did you enjoy it?’ She shook her head tiredly. ‘Want to do it again?’ ‘Not now, maybe another day. I’m just glad I got it over with’. ‘I'm glad I could help’ said the stranger starting to walk away. ‘Do you think it sounds immature?’ She asked innocently. ‘Oh no, I get it’ He replied. ‘Roller coasters can be awfully creepy’.
