« Kendall A. Bell » Awkward Moment #1 We spent several moments above polyester sheets older than my brother the innocence of kissing was tarnished by our age difference She interrupted our routine one afternoon with a new idea my rigid body tensed as she brandished the small packet Between she and the last had been days of depression and no fucking and she could tell Coming For You you are hunted down whether you realize it or not I've been lurking around your life spying on every detail I wait for the moment to innocently assume myself into your thoughts now I sit behind a screen await your reply glide soft hands over hard keys and think of how your hands would feel over softer parts of me minutes later my answer comes your image in a tiny square I trace your face with my finger knowing I can have you whenever I want Kendall A.
