Shallow Grave
“She crumples the paper towel and tosses it toward the door, where our garbage pile is growing.
Her tongue piercing flashes as she licks her fingers. I look away.
When I look back, she’s sitting cross-legged, staring expectantly at me.
“What?” I ask. Maybe she saw me staring at her tongue.
“You ready?”
I sigh. “I see you don’t know how to take no for an answer,” I say.
“No?” she says. She cocks her head and furrows her brows in mock confusion. “What’s that?”
I fight a smile. “Fine. I’m down,” I ...say. “Let’s just do it and get out of here.”
Shannon’s face lights up, and she leans toward me. For a panicky second, I think she’s going to kiss me and I try to think of what to do. Look away? Lean backward? Kiss her back? What do I do about the tongue thing?
But she doesn’t kiss me. She puts both her hands on my knees and gives them a little squeeze.
I feel pretty dumb.
And a little disappointed.
Shannon grins and scrambles to her feet. “This is going to be so much fun!”MoreLess
