SAL

Welcome back and lets get into it.

After a whole day of avoiding the love of my life, i felt a little nervouse to meet him and talk, just him and i.

That evening I met with Semm at the park to hear what he had to tell me. He was already waiting for me. he sat on a park bench under a tree. there was a lot of breeze and i could feel it dance on my face. The contrast of the hot sun in the sky and the cool breeze on my face was refreshing.

WELL, IT WAS TIME. I took in a deep breath and walked towards him. he was on a call and all i could make up before he saw me was, " ...dont worry, just get the money ready because i already have access and i just have to ask and its mine. She obviously never had a chance, OH. Got to go".

Semm: Hey girl..

Me: Who never had a chance?

Semm: No one! WERE YOU EVE'S DROPPING ON MY CALL?

Me; What? NO! And why is your voice getting louder? You know two can play that game, Semm.

Semm: Am sorry. Sorry. Forgive?

Me: ....

Semm: Hey. You, are you ok?

Me: Sure.

Semm: You have been less present than before I came over to your house. Are you still Mad at me ?

Me: No.

Semm: Sure?

Me:Oh come on. I am over it.

Semm: ok, so can I get a kiss?

Me: Sure, why not?

He leaned in to plant a kiss on my lips. I closed my eyes to enjoy the incoming kiss but instead I heard my name.

Sal: Flame!! Flame, where are you dear?

semm: Your shadow/ handbag refuses to go away.

Me: what?

Sal: there you are.

I looked back and there was Sal, walking towards us.

Semm: it seems anytime I see you, she suddenly pops up from nowhere. It's almost as is she was your Girlfriend and I was the third wheel.

Me: come on, you know how girls are. we are close, and protective of eachother.

Sal walked closer.

Sal: Hi babe, been looking for you all over

.

Me: I actually got here not so long ago.

Sal: Been looking for you all over cos of AC.

Me: AC? (Whisper)

Sal : Yeah, we have the Abstaining club meeting today, remember?

she then winked at me to follow her lead.

Me: yeah, yeah. that was today?

Sal: yup.

She turns to Semm acting as If she had not seen him earlier and didn't care.

Sal: oh hi, Dude. I absolutely didn't see you there,. How are you? What's new? What's happening, player?

Semm: whatever. Flame, I think I will see you some other time when your shadow is not around to interrupt us at every second.

Sal: aww, i am a shadow.

sal then grabbed my hand to keep me so close to her skin.

Me: Umm, are you sure?

You really wanted to talk and all..

Semm: That's not possible with your shadow around.

Me: umm, ok. Will call you later.

Semm: Sure. Whatever.

Semm was pissed. He walked away with a terrible expression on his face.

Sal explained to me later that she wanted to make sure I don't give up my virginity to Semm because he didn't deserve me.

Virginity, something I didn't still have. I can't possibly give him what I didn't have.At that point I felt I had to tell her the truth.

Me: I am not a virgin though...

Sal: Stop playing. You don't have to say that just because you want to sleep with him, he is a.. Well, he ain't good for you.

Me: No, it's not about him. No, I lost that when I was way younger. I didn't really have a say.

Sal: what?

Me: Yeah, An uncle happened.

I think I liked it?

Sal: What? Men are pigs. Well, some of them. He took advantage of your innocence. No, that's why I need you to not let Semm touch you even though you like him. Don't rush into anything. You are too precious.

Sal and I had a moment of silence, just looking into each others eyes. Her expression changed, she looked sad and her eyes were looking watery. Before I could ask why,

Sal started shedding tears. She was so emotional and I had never seen her that way.

She was a tough girl who always knew what she wanted and went for it. Never before had I seen her moment of weakness like she was. Watching her cry for me did something to me, so I hugged her. She was like a delicate baby, crying for milk. So cute and heart melting.

For some reason I just wanted to plant kisses on her forehead but for her being taller. I held her hand and kissed her there instead.

She was able to calm down after some minutes.

Me: Are you ok? Were you molested too? You seem so affected. Seemed personal?

Sal: I.. I I just can't stand th the thoughts of someone doing that to you. When u didn't know what you were doing, more so

Me: it's fine, I liked it, I think. I was pretty young. I don't remember.

Sal: what did you know? you were a child.

Me: Sal, I am ok. I am fine.

We looked into each others eyes for a while till she stopped and we started giggling.

Me: what happened to you.

Sal: I obviously love you girl, isn't that obvious?

Me: aww, you know I love you too. let me hug you.

We hugged so hard our cheeks were pressed close to each other and her skin was so warm. Her hair was soft and smelled like sunshine .

I could feel Sal move her cheeks away from mine but then her lips were close to mine. I could feel her warm minty breath on my skin which gave me goosebumps for some reason.

Before I could move my face away, she kissed me. I probably felt it wasn't a big deal so I wasn't moved. I was about to ask how she felt and that's when I realized this wasn't a normal "Sal and I" kind of kiss.

She kissed me, sucking on my lower lip lightly. She then placed her hand behind my head and continued sucking on my lip. I could hear her moaning silently. Why my heart was beating so excitedly, I did not know, but, the warmth of her skin made me forget to pull away. Come to think of it, I think I just didn't want to pull away.

I started responding to he sensual knock on my lips. I was actually kissing her back and forgetting to breath. I was so immersed in the kiss that I didn't know when she grabbed my backside. I liked it and I bet she heard my groan.

Sal: want to come to my home?

Me: I can't. I have to go too tho.

I pulled away from Sal and rushed on home.
