Casual Sex: The Ol' School Conquests (Part One)

The Middle School Crush

When I was in middle school I had THE biggest crush on this guy, Loren. He was a soccer player and had that Jonathan Taylor Thomas hair, all floppy and perfect every time he moved. He was a year older than me, but visited my history teachers classroom tons, so I got to swoon and doodle his name on the reg. I think my friends even got the history teacher to try to hook it up, but nothing ever came of it.

Imagine my delight when I ran into Loren at a bar as an adult. I use the word adult lightly because I wasn't particularly behaving like one. I was out way too late and had been drinking IDon'tRememberWhat for too long. But, I was at one of my favorite bars, felt right at home, and a cab wouldn't have been out of the question. Enter: Loren. He lived 4 seconds from the bar. I told him about having the Middle School Hots for him and found myself in his bed. Score! Not only did I snag the guy, I didn't have to pay for a cab ride home.

It's factual that Jonathan Taylor Thomas aged better than this guy. Gone were the soccer player muscles, and his once perfect teenaged face was more wrinkled, and he looked... harder somehow. But, I was feeling pretty proud of myself as I made my way home the next morning to change into fresh clothes and head to work. 

The text came: from him, but obviously (?) not meant for me. 

Man, her breath was kicking. She wouldn't stop talking the whole time and it was all just so-so. I probably shoulda passed. 

Then, a second text.

Oh, shit. Sorry. Wrong person.

So.

My thought was that he DID mean to send it to me, but that might be giving him too much Conniving Credit. Either way, I wasn't even that mad. The reference to my breath was either the fault of alcohol or cigarettes. I refuse to believe I "talked the whole time" unless it was to ask some polite questions about a picture here or a book there as I was shown around his house. Lastly, I agreed with him on the mediocrity of it all. 

No harm, no foul.

I replied... No big deal, Loren. I'm actually glad you accidentally sent that text to me. I'd forgotten to brush my teeth yesterday, so my bad on the breath. And I totally agree with you that the sex sucked.

possessive

I watched Hoarders last night. During the first commercial break, I dared to look around my living room and I thought, oh holy mother of four-letter-word. Color me cluttered. Yes, it's true that most of my mess is hidden and collecting dust in the dark, but I know what's there -- like the 100+ VHS tapes in my bookshelf/ media cabinet, for instance. Yes, I love knowing that should I desire to watch my old school copy of Riding in Cars with Boys or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or The Royal Tenembaums or Serendipity or Ghost World or Memento or... okay. You get the picture. It's there. If I wanted it, it would be right there. Also semi-hidden? Probaby 50+ copies of this weekly magazine from the late 1960's - early 1970's called Story of Life. My grandma gave them to me. Have I cracked the cover of even one issue? Hell to the no. I don't have time for that type of nostalgia. Plus, I can't even find a link for it with a quick google search. Something tha...

love at first sight blogfest, or, go eat a heart-shaped cookie

Courtney Reese is hosting a love at first sight blogfest, in which writer's write about the icky love stuff. Check it out -- there are already a ton of entries over there. Okay, so my scene isn't really love at first sight for my mc, Laurel (in fact, she doesn't even want it to be) but this is the first time she interacts with her second love interest, David.  Read! Enjoy! Critique!      A sea of southerners filled the lobby of the movie theater. David Winter stood at a neon orange podium in the center of the throng, his head throbbing. He tore off one ticket stub after another, pointed the masses in the appropriate direction. The work was monotonous. Most of the patrons were lost in conversations with one another, and they paid David the same lack of attention that he showed them. He tried not to grimace at the giggling teenage girls, the smug looking guys in gold chains, the overweight middle aged couples: all annoyed him equa...
