Luckily, or unluckily depending on which rubric one uses to asses the
relative benefits and repercussions of our brief fling ours was a
fleeting attraction that could withstand a little ersatz brother
cock-blocking. Block on Rob, block on. She had me looked up and
called by the next mid-morning and invited me out on a date to the
local, to her, movies. There was one movie theater in the ten or so
small towns around so if you wanted to see a movie without driving 30
minutes you went there and saw what they wanted you to see. One
screen, two showings and no frills because, where else are you gonna
go? I had a dilemma because I was in high school but I still couldn't
drive and there is nothing less cool than riding a Schwinn 6 miles to
a date. I had to get a ride without getting some nosy tag along so I
came up with a fanciful tale of meeting up with some guy and only guy
friends in the next town over for a little
not-doing-anything-naughty. It too some talking and sucking up but
soon the deal was struck and my mom was taking me to go see Jurassic
Park and, on the sly, a certain young lady. I arrived got out and
fake met up with some friends to throw my mom off the trail she bit
and drove off planning to come back much later to pick me up across
town, which in a town that size was not very far. I had been under
the impression that this was going to be a one on one kind of date
but when I found the girl she was there with two girl friends and one
of their boyfriends. No matter, keep it cool and see what happens. We
went in and found a nice dark back corner with me in the corner my
date next and then her friends. I was working up the nerve to make a
move when she grabbed my hand put it around her neck and snuggled up
elbow deep with my hand held in both of hers on her collar bone. This
is a good trick for a girl to know in that it removes all of the
anxiety from the situation and lets the guy off the hook. We were
about to the part where for some reason a mathematician, well versed
in chaos theory, was going to study a perfectly under control
situation on an island. When she nuzzled in for a kiss which landed
on my chin and then she started going to work. I had been hoping for
a kiss or something at some point but this amount of unbridled
passion had me a little unnerved and embarrassed. I was trying to
fend her off and also fend her on in a delicate pas-de-bisous that I
was trying to keep under control. Her friends were obviously
interested because every time I looked over they were giving knowing
glances and giggles. The movie was really long it seemed like and
this girl was becoming dissatisfied with some basic kissing and
wanted to move onto a little more advanced stuff which I was
definitely not doing with a gaggle of onlookers looking on. I told
her I was needing a quick break to go potty and made an escape. I
didn't go to the bathroom but I did spend a little time in the back
hall looking at a mural of the towns history that was there. I
ventured back in when the time was going to start to seem suspicious
retook my seat and watched the end of the movie with no more heavy
making out. It was disappointing just like every time I see that
movie, I keep hoping they may have edited in an alternate ending
where that stupid blonde girl is ripped to shreds.
