When I opened my eyes, hewas looking at me strangely.

"You're sosexy." It was a statement.

"Oh, thanks," I giggled nervously, "The chicken is really good."

I was not in the habit of sharing my food. If someone touched my food, I didn't eat another bite of it.I offered it to him anyways.

"Are you sure?" He must have sensed my hesitation, "I have an idea, why don't you feed it me? That way, I won't be touching your food with my fork." Hemust’ve thought I was weird but I nodded. I sliced a small piece of chicken and wrapped pasta around it and fed him.

I watched his mouthtake in the fork and desire pooled in my body. Who knew feeding someone could be so hot?!

"That’s delicious," he said.

A small amount of sauce was stuck on the right side of his mouth. Before I stoppedmyself to think about it, I found my lips licking the sauce off of his mouth.

My tongue cleaned off the sauce and I was about to pull away; only this time, his mouth didn't let me. He kissed me with deep hunger. He tasted of beer and food. My tongue was finding its way deep into his mouth when he slowly pulled away, "I don't want to stop, I’m just afraid I won't be able to walk back to our car if we continue."

I giggled. He looked like he was in pain. He was turned on as much as I was.

I shied away from making any more PDA-worthy moments because first, we were in public. Second, we were in public.

“So, how long have you been friends with Xavier and the guys?” I asked.

“We’ve all been friends since 10thgrade. They’re my closest buddies. How about you, been friends with Kieran for a while?” Eventually, I knew he was going to ask about Kieran.

In between bites of the scrumptious chicken dish, I told him how Kieran and I met in swimming class, when I was 9. Kieran bet me that I would not be to find the quarter that he dropped at the bottom of the pool. I had a very competitive streak and almost drowned because of it. A lifeguard had to pull me out of the bottom of the pool. Kieran felt so bad. After that, he gave me his entire Mario Bros. collection of toys and promised to protect me for life.

I smiled as I recalled our story, “He’s always been there for me, through everything. When Chatty Pepper posted those pictures of Kieran and me - I felt violated because it was a private moment between friends. People can assume all they want. Kieran and I, we’ve been through the best and the worst of times.”

His tone was pensive, “We should hang out with him. Maybe have dinner or something.”

I nodded wholeheartedly.

We walked to a gelato place after dinner. We were just completing our order from the guy at the counter when his phone vibrated in his pocket. I felt it because I was wrapped around his arms. He didn't want to take the call; I told him to go ahead and pick it up. The vibration from his pocket was bugging me.

He was frustrated at the caller, "Xavier, this is really not a good time.”

After a pause, he asked, “Alright, where are you? I'll call Dom and John."

He punched a few keys on his phone. His head shook after a couple of minutes.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Xavier's car ran out of battery. He probably left his lights on again."

"Where's he at?"

"Main and 8th."

That was only a few milesaway from where we were at.

"Can't he call Triple A fora jump start?" I suggested.

"He's really picky when it comes to his car. He thinks other people are going to mess it up. I tried John and Dom, they’re not picking up."

Oh ok. That, I understood. I was picky too. When it came to my stuff, I trusted very few people to help me deal with it.

"Alright, let's go." I was already walking towards the direction of the parking lot.
