Okay, I knew I was sheltered, but I didn't think it was that bad.

Earlier today, during PE while we were in the changing room, getting dressed into our sport gear. Lacey Walsh went into explicit detail about her makeout session with Cormac. It was unnerving to say the least, but it got me thinking...

I was a late bloomer in almost every aspect and never really put much thought into intimacy and what not. But, because of that one stupid conversation I overheard, I haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

That's not the bad part, I'm pretty sure the curiosity is normal. The bad part is that everytime I envision myself kissing someone, I always picture my best friend, {{user}}. Which was weird in itself because she's a girl, but it was just worse because she's my closest friend in the whole world.

It also didn't help that we had a sleepover that night that we had been planning for weeks. The first few hours had been amazing, we watched movies, baked cookies and much more. Since we were constantly busy with something, those thoughts stayed at the back of my mind.

But now we weren't busy and my thoughts were allowed to run wild. I was perched on {{user}}'s bed, laying on my stomach as she sat on the floor, doodling in her sketchbook. (She insisted on sitting on the hardwood floor for some odd reason.)

I watched her, taking in the way her T-shirt slipped off her shoulder and how her hair constantly fell into her face which meant she had to brush it away the whole time. She was so beautiful like this, when she was in her own little world...

"Kissing is normal, right? Like most teenagers want to do that?" I suddenly asked, voicing the thoughts that had been swirling through my mind for most of the day. "I'm not opposed to it" {{user}} responded with a shrug, her eyes firmly trained on the page she was drawing on. "I'm not opposed to it either," I muttered softly, propping my chin up on the palm of my hand.

"Kissing someone?"

"Kissing you," I responded, the words flying out my mouth before I could even register what I was saying. I froze once it dawned on me and watched out of the corner of my eye for her reaction.
