Touching

Date: 4/22/2019

So I heard about this house where some of my friends would be. I was looking to have some fun so I went over. When I got there I saw that my crush was there, and I could tell that he’d noticed I was there too. Us two and are friends then all went down into the basement together. They had a table set up for a board game. Sitting all around the table I saw my crush and others take a seat. I then went over and sat on the same side as my crush, but there was a chair in-between us. Sitting next to this one guy I asked him if he could teach me how to play the game. He said he didn’t know how to explain it. So, turning over to my crush I asked him if he could explain it. Of course, knowing him, he didn’t say no. So, moving over to the seat next to him he then tried to explain the game to me. To be honest though, it didn’t make that much sense. In a very sarcastic tone I then hugged my crush and said “thank you for teaching me”. This made him uncomfortable cause he didn’t expect it at all, but he was still smiling for some reason. “What? You don’t like touch?” I asked him. “No. I’m just not used to it” he admitted. “Alright then, start here” I said outstretching my arm to put a hand on his shoulder. He shrugged it off out of discomfort, but still continued smiling. “Ok... like this?” He questioned as he then reached his own arm out and put a hand on my shoulder. His grip was supper tight and kind of hurt though. “It’s a start...” I replied removing his hand off my own shoulder. Going back to the game we played for a bit. I was obviously terrible at it and lost tremendously. “Wow thanks Tristan” I said sarcastically at the end of the game.
