The next few months were hard for them. At first they tried to just ignore
each other until it got obvious. After a while they realized they needed to
put it behind them. They had both talked to Caitlin about it so she helped
them out a little.
Other than Ashley trying to nag it on things had gone great. Craig could
not take it any more. He did not want to loose her. He asked her to meet
him in her room one day. She showed up.
"Look I can't take it any more," he said.
"I can't either," she smiled, "But."
"So like we said lets just give it a try," he looked at her.
"Sure," she put her hand on his chest, "Why not?"
"Well," he paused, "What now?"
"Joey is not home," she looked into his eyes.
He nodded. Koby pushed back a little, tugging off his coat, then turning
her attention to his shirt. He raised his arms to help her pull the tight T-
shirt over his head. Reveling in her study, he stood still as she ran her
eyes and hands over him. Beneath her tentative touch his body came alive,
every nerve tingling.
She never felt so alive as she did at that moment. All over her senses came
alive. She looked at him as she sat on the bed next to him.
"Craig," she stopped, "this is going to be my first time."
"I promise," he nodded, "I'll take it slow."
She went right back to what she was doing. He watched her face, seeing the
wonder on it as she experienced for the first touch of another person. Her
cheeks flushed at his perusal, yet she continued to explore his body's
textures. He clenched his hands at his sides, as her tentative touch grew
more assured, battering down the need to return her touch.
He grabbed her and pulled her up. He kissed her. His lips quivered with
inte Just then downstairs Joey came in. They could hear Angie's feet
running up the stairs. Craig jumped up and ran into the bathroom.
Angie ran passed Koby's door and into her room. Craig came out putting on
his shirt.
"I guess it's not meant to be," she sighed.
"It is," he passed his hand over her face, "just not now."
