Only mammals

Although their knees were only touching, Watson felt like they were moving closer to each other. Like their bodies were phasing into the same plain. Another dimension was created when Rina spoke to him. The phasing could only be completed if they both agreed. But Rina, out of innocence and ignorance, Watson, out of worry that a step to far would make her retreat forever, neither acted nor stepped out into the unknown; both afraid of each other, needing to be told what to do. Watson spun his brain inside his skull. Finding the words to carry on.

"Rina, I want to kiss you." he said.

She stared at him in disbelief, and then a smile spread like wildfire across her face. "You do?"

"Yeah, can I?"

"Yes, okay. But I don’t want to distract you from your work." She said. Him offering that simple desire of his up as a sacrifice seemed to free her from her stasis. Suddenly she was alive.

"Don’t worry, there’s plenty of time." He replied. She giggled. They slowly moved their faces closer. He placed his hand on her right knee for some balance. She did the same with his other knee; it seemed she was just going to follow his lead. They both closed their eyes, and their lips touched gently. Watson could feel her knee shaking and her lips shaking. Her face was soft, she tasted sweet. After a few seconds, Watson sort of moved his lips a little bit, and Rina opened her eyes. Out of instinct so did he (he got that feeling someone was watching him). Rina pulled back in a fright.

{This is Rina's internal monologue, translated from Korean into English, from before Watson walked in until present}

Okay I’m home, time to change and get ready for Watson. He's so cute and sweet and nice, I’m so happy he’s coming over. I'll just put on a shirt and some shorts. I should check my panties again. Wow I’m a little wet already. My hands are shaking. Why am I so nervous. I'm just sitting on the floor waiting for him to show up. I've never been alone in a room with a boy before. I can’t believe I’m 18 and I’ve never been alone with a boy. I feel very safe around Watson, though. I'm glad he wants to be friends with me. I don't have many; it’s not like I have the time. I wish I could have a normal life, not dominated by school and studying and bullshit my parents want me to do. I hope I’m dressed okay. I’m just wearing what I would be if I was home alone. Should I have stayed in my school clothes? It would feel weird, although I suppose he hasn’t changed, or has he? Did he bring a change of clothes just to come over? That would be cute. I would like if he did that. But it doesn’t matter. I can’t believe a boy is coming over to fix my house. I'm so turned on. It's gotten hard sitting next to him in class; he smells so good all the time. Most days I just sit next to him in silence, I get so embarrassed about my English, but Watson doesn’t seem to mind. Some days I can’t even concentrate on my work. My pussy just throbs and gets so wet. It starts getting wet as I’m walking to class thinking about having to sit next to him. I don’t even know what I would do about it. I’ve never been touched by a boy. I’m a stranger here with no experience. Often after class I’ll go into the bathroom to pee, and when I sit down and pull down my panties, they're just soaked. I’ll rub the cotton between my fingers and imagine what it would feel like… I don’t know what to do. I've never felt this way before. I've never touched myself down there, I don’t even know how I would do it. I feel so disengaged from the world around me. I blame my parents for sheltering me, that’s the easy thing to do. Although its partially my fault too, I’m sure. But I’ve never had the confidence to approach a boy, especially in English. Should I have said yes to this? God I’m so nervous. Ah! There's a knock on the door. Oh God oh God. Okay so he didn’t change. Oh my god he's so cute. I'm glad I closed my bedroom door I left my clothes on the ground. Yes, the sink will be good to start with. What you think I’m just going to go sit alone while you're here fixing my sink? I want to be near you, I want to be close to you. Look at his butt, it’s so cute. I love it when he bends over on his knees like that. Oh, he’s talking to me. How much should I share? Please keep asking me questions, I want you to know me, but I don’t know how. Our knees... This is the most touch I’ve ever felt. I’m shaking. Stop shaking stop shaking. He's going to know. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. He's going to leave! You’re embarrassing, you're a mess! He thinks you're an idiot! Why did I tell him vie never kissed anyone, what is wrong with me. He doesn’t want to kiss me. I don’t know where that came from. God, I want to kiss him. I don’t know how or what it would mean, but I don’t care. I just know I want to kiss him. AHHH He wants to kiss me too!! Fuck fuck fuck what now. Oh my god he’s leaning in. He's touching my knee, I guess I’ll do the same. It's going to happen, were gonna to do it were gonna to do it!

{End of monologue}

"Ahh don't look at me!" She flew back hysterically in joyous laughter, covering her face with her hands.

"What!" He exclaimed, gleeful at her vulnerability.

"We did it. We kissed. What did we do??" She got up to her feet and ran to the bathroom and shut the door.

Well...That went about as well as he expected.
