So we were in the mall this afternoon trying to find a gift for Elly, and somehow we ended up inside a bed-and-bath store... and I was idly
looking at the little knick-nacks on the shelves, bath salts and all that... and I had it in my mind that he was in another section when in fact, he was standing right behind me, so, when I turned around he startled me and I sort of jumped back just a little teeny-tiny bit. And he did a small laugh, you know, like hahah, but it was just for my ears, even though the store was quite empty. It was funny and I was going to laugh too, but this thing, this expression, crossed his face... and he was pulling on my t-shirt and then his other hand was suddenly under my shirt, palm and fingers resting flat on my stomach, and I was paralyzed, and reacting fast. It was crazy and dangerous and crazy. Then he pulled himself even closer and there was nothing between us but clothes and heat... we were flush against each other in the middle of the store! I think I said something like "People..." and I'm almost sure he said "Yeah, maybe..." before his lips shut me up while the warm animal on my stomach slid around my waist so slooowly. The whole thing was crazy... and thrilling, and erotic. And then we hear this throat-clearing sound and this lady who worked there was price marking stuff not far from where we were standing. She 'didn't see' us. Vincent threw me a look and made to touch me again but I poked him. An exaggerated Ow! then he poked me back. So I poked him back, so he poked me back... And again, there was a throat-clearing sound from the lady who was still doing store business and minding her own. Goldilocks made a face at me, with tongue, and I almost busted out laughing. Later, when we were paying for Elly's gift, that same lady was at the cash register and she said, "Did you find everything okay?" And Vincent was, "Oh... yes... Very. Very much so!" And the lady was, "Mm-hmm," looking at us for the first time, and smiling.
