Chapter 5

After promising to keep in touch, the two couples walked to their cars and headed home. Bette and Harry to Harry’s dorm and Tina and Eric to his parents’ house. After half an hour, Eric parked the car in the driveway and turned to Tina.

Eric: I’m glad you’re with me and that I can hold you tonight

Tina (smiling): Yeah, me too.

They got out of the car and walked to the door. Eric said they had to be silent because his parents were already asleep. After closing the door of his bedroom he turned around and looked her straight in the eyes.

Eric: I promise you that I won’t do anything you don’t feel ready to do… I just wanna hold you tonight.

Tina: Thanks.

She took her pj’s out of her backpack and sat on the bed to take off her shoes. Eric had already taken his shirt off and she looked at him but said nothing, she just took in the sight. He stepped out of his pants and he stood there, wearing only his boxershorts… he had a few hairs on his chest and under his armpits and his arms and legs of course. But she didn’t find it sexy or beautiful… it didn’t do anything to her. She loved his personality and she felt so safe and loved around him, but seeing him like this added nothing to the reason she loved him. He put his pyjama pants on and sat on the bed.
After that she stood up and got rid of her pants, followed by her shirt. There she stood, with only her bra and panties on. She felt naked but he said she was beautiful and she didn’t have to feel ashamed of her body. Tina smiled and felt loved and desired. It felt good. She took her pyjama pants and put them on. Then she took of her bra and was about to put on her sleeping shirt when Eric said: Don’t.

She looked at him

Eric: I just wanna look at you one more second before I take you in my arms. She put her sleeping shirt on and headed to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Eric followed her and they locked eyes in the mirror. She laughed at him when he made a mess with the toothpaste in his mouth and spewed everything in the sink.
