I put my pizza away but forgot my magazine lying on the coffee table. The doorbell rang and I opened the door.
Coach Ramirez was standing there with a big smile on his face. Dressed in a light green polo shirt, school colors, and khaki chinos he was holding a bottle.
As I stepped aside to let him enter, he said, "I thought I'd bring along my favorite beverage," holding up his bottle of tequila.
Closing the door, I said, "You know I am only eighteen. I am old enough for some things, but not old enough for drinking."
Following me into the living room, he said, "It can be our secret. We can have secrets I think."
Lightly touching his arm, I said, "You're the coach. We can have all the secrets you want."
Walking over to the sofa, I asked him to sit and I'd get some glasses. I walked to the kitchen, looking back over my shoulder, and saw him watching me. I smiled at him.
Returning with two glasses, I saw him looking at the copy of Twink World I had left on the coffee table.
Handing him the glasses, I reached down and picked up the magazine and said, "Oops. Sorry, I forgot to put this away." and I put it in the table drawer.
Opening the bottle and pouring us each a drink, he said, "No problem. I like that magazine too."
He handed me a glass and we clinked them together, "To our secret evening," he said. I smiled and took a sip, enjoying the warmth of the liquid sliding down my throat. I sat close to him, and turned a bit toward him with one leg tucked under.
Looking at me, he then said, "It was probably good that Zach came into the locker room when he did. I was probably going to get myself in trouble seeing you standing there like that."
I sat my glass down and looked at him. "I wouldn't have stopped you," I said as I lay my hand on his thigh.
He sat his glass down and looking into my eyes, said, "But now there is nobody to interrupt us."
I climbed over him, straddling his lap, facing him. "Yes, nobody to interrupt us tonight. Just us alone." And I lowered my face down to his and lightly kissed his lips.
He reached up and pulled my face back down to his and put his lips on mine, opening my mouth and letting our tongues dance together.
