– Why are you sitting over there?
— I want to have a conversation with you.
– Oh?
— I want to talk about something specific without us coming together and tearing our clothes off.
Laugh
– Fair enough.
— I find this so sensual.
– Being apart?
— Yes. We don’t often do this any-more, we’re always together, connected by hand or hip or mouth.
– Hm.
— I want to look at you, watch you. Explore your body with my eyes.
– You’ve been missing out.
— Oh?
– I always do it.
— Cruel, you never tell me.
– Of-course I never tell you. That’s the whole point, it’s thrilling to watch someone and think about them erotically without them knowing.
— But right now we know.
– Mmm. This is just practice, but you’ll have to do it more.
— You said you always do it?
– I do.
— When was the last time?
– Last night at the party.
— We were hardly apart.
– We were apart often. When we arrived and did the rounds separately. When you got me our second drink. When you went to the bathroom…
— My god, you keep count.
– Sometimes. Last night I did.
— Why last night?
– Several things. What you were wearing was stunning, also you were comfortable.
— In what I was wearing?
– With the people. I’ve noticed the more comfortable you are, the more sensuous your movements are.
— Flirtatious?
– No. Sensuous, or perhaps only to me. It’s a very subtle thing. Still though, you could seduce the whole room with your movements.
— Are you jealous?
– Wildly.
— I can’t believe I’m still learning these things.
– I am too, we’re always learning.
— Today I watched you, I mean we were just shopping, but I felt so much lust, watching you move, touch things, examine them or be disinterested. I tried to be away from you as much as possible.
– Is that what you were doing?
— Yes.
– I see.
Pause
– Why don’t you come and sit here?
— I’m trying to resist.
Pause
– Is it working?
Inhale
— Just…
Pause
— Just a bit longer…
