My classmate and I were studying biology when the topic shifted to sex and reproduction.
“I’ve had too many pregnancy scares,” I joked. It was normal for my classmate and I to discuss raunchy topics like this. “I’m so glad I’m on birth control now. How about you?”
He looked up from his paper. “What?”
I repeated, “How about you? How many times did you have a partner with a pregnancy scare?”
“Oh, I’ve never actually… had sex.”
“You haven’t? How far have you gone?”
“Um, I’ve never had a girlfriend or anything. I went to an all boy’s school, and I’m not into boys like that.”
“You’re 20 years old and you’ve never even gone as far as kissing a girl on the cheek?” He shook his head. I went back to my studies, shocked by this new information. He was absolutely handsome. How did he manage to go this long through college without a single girl hitting on him? I supposed he’d been so focused on school that he’d never even stepped foot in a club, but there was bound to be a girl that wanted to kiss him in one of his classes. Unless…
“Would you like to experience what it’s like to mess around with a girl?” I blurted.
He was startled. “Uh, who? ...You?”
“Yes, me. Or if you don’t want to, that’s okay. I’m just putting the offer on the table.” I continued reading my textbook, embarrassed by what I just proposed.
A moment passed. “What if I said yes?” I heard him say. I looked up to find his eyes fixated on my small chest.
“I wouldn’t do anything you didn’t want. You’d have complete freedom to say stop. And I don’t plan to have sex with you. Nothing against you, I just think it should be saved for someone you really care about.”
“Well, uh, I’ve always wanted to kiss a girl and stuff. I thought it would happen after college.”
“It could happen now if you want.” I looked at the clock then back at him. “We have about 2 hours until class starts, and my dorm is across the street.”
His face lit up, although it looked like he was trying to hide his excitement and nervousness at the same time.

“What do I do with my hands?” he asked.
“Just hold me,” I told him.
I moved closer and kissed him on his neck, pulling his chest closer to mine. Then, I slowly moved toward his lips and kissed him.
