A normal day

When your mom is gone, you run to the bottom of the stairs and yell the message to your sister. You shake off your lingering euphoria before you try to drive.

The day at school was fairly normal. Eric tries to kill you in gym, you are bored to tears in computer class, Miss Cummings is way too chipper about the tactics of Alexander the Great, Sara complains about the inappropriateness of your science project, everything was normal. Well, that was in lunch. You were sitting with Ian O’Shea your best friend. You were wondering whether or not to tell him what had happened yesterday when Maria came over to the table.

“Hey, Cutie,” she says as she places her hand on your shoulder.

Ian is more than surprised, “Cue-what?!”

She ignores him. “John, I need to talk with you,” she says in your ear after a kiss on the cheek.

Again, Ian expresses confusion. “Right… If you will direct me to the nearest transdimensional portal I’ll be leaving the Twilight Zone.”

She leads you away to an alcove near the restrooms. No one is around. She sighs. It seems a like a great effort. “I straighten a few things out. I know guys have to have variety of partners. I learned that after what happen with my own parents.” ‘That is some serious bullshit,’ you think to yourself. “I don’t mind sharing you, John,” she had some doubt in her eyes but is disappeared quickly. She continued “it’s just that last night was my first time to go all the way and all that. I had thought would be married before… before I, you know…” you guessed where this was leading.

“You some assurance that I will be monogamous,” you reply with concession.

“Oh No! I wouldn’t try anything like that. I am not a fool. I know that would be impossible.” She chuckled, “You were so quiet… outside the classroom anyway, I figured it was your first time too. I guess I should have figured it wasn’t.” You are speechless. “I mean,” she continued, “you were so great, the way you touched me, you must be really experience. I guess I just fooled myself.” She looks at the ground. “Anyway, since I know I cannot keep you all to myself, I would really like to have some say over who else your with, ok?”

Your conscience tells you to tell her you would be loyal and true to her forever, that you would do the honourable thing. Fortunately, your balls out number him two to one. “If it’s that important to Maria, ok.” You take her chin with your for finger and kiss her on the lips. You smile confidently, “I hope you know how wonderfully extraordinary you are.”

She smiles warmly. “Don’t forget about that surprise.”
