Don't Touch Chapter 8 [1-2]
I looked at my phone to check the time and I was a couple of minutes late walking back to campus. I came early to meet with Luis and we went out to eat at one of the restaurants across campus. It’s Friday and the week went by slow after I left Elliot’s apartment and I’m thinking of going over tonight if I have time. Lucas invited me to a play that is being held on campus, that Andre and Genevieve will be performing, and I promised Lucas that I’ll meet him at five, but I was distracted talking with Luis. I saw Lucas walking over to the main building where we agreed to meet after I told him where I was and he smiled waving at me.“Michael!” He shouted in glee. “It’s great that you text me or I wouldn’t have found you. I thought about waiting at the bus stop since you didn’t have classes today.”“Sorry,” I said, walking over towards him. “I was distracted hanging out with a friend that I haven’t see for a while.”“That’s fine. Now, come on,” Lucas said, grabbing my hand and starting to

I held the camera in my hand feeling uncertain about what I should do when the lights started to dim down and they began the second act of the play. Lucas nudged me when they started and I raised the camera trying to take pictures, but I wasn’t sure if I was doing this right. I feel shy not wanting people to look over at me while I’m doing this, but when I glanced around everyone was watching the play and that helped calm me down. Glancing at the stage, I could see Andre performing so I took this chance to take pictures of him while he was performing and it felt like I was capturing every scene until I realized that the play finally came to an end.“You got into it in the end,” Lucas said after I took the last picture.I looked down at the camera and shrugged my shoulders not realizing that Lucas was watching me. “I just tried. Don’t the campus have their own photographer?” I asked him.“No, not right now. The person who was in charge of it transferred out and it was all a surprise be

I entered the apartment, turning on the light that was near the entrance, and set my things on the couch. It felt a bit cold being alone and I turned on the television wanting there to be some sound to occupy the empty place. Glancing around, the last time I was here was when I spent the night last weekend and we haven’t really talked so much about what we did. It did hurt me a bit, emotionally and physically, but overall it wasn’t a terrible experience since we were able to take things slow. My face felt warm as I remembered the moments when Elliot reassured me multiple times and how the feel of him was far more exhilarating. I went over to the kitchen to grab something to drink and noticed that there were some dishes left in the sink. To occupy my time, I washed the dishes then looked around trying to see what else I can do, but Elliot usually likes to keep his belongings organized compared to me and I don’t want to move anything that might upset him. I thought about the play and th

I hummed as I felt his lips again and was tender feeling them while he still held on to me; our legs were intertwined under the covers. There was this gentle touch to them that I tilted my head up wanting a bit more and he did, never pulling away like he'd letting me feed onto him. A loud breath escaped my mouth when he kissed me by the neck and I let out a giggle, feeling nervous, and also there was this sensation like you can just melt under his arms. That’s honestly all I have to say about Elliot. Feeling his fingers tracing along my sides leaving my breath hitched and trembling a little the further we go.I was about to wonder if we’re moving too fast, but it was too late to interrupt him and it was clear where this was leading. I laid there watching him pull off his shirt then felt his hands tracing across my arms and there was this tight feeling in my chest. I closed my eyes trying to calm myself from this overwhelming feeling that’s creeping up on me and it wasn’t like last tim

On Tuesday I met up with Lucas at the library like promised and we were both free for two hours before our next courses. Andre tagged along with him wanting to show me the college newspaper and they picked out one of the photos I took during their performance for the piece; my name was even credited underneath. I looked at it for a long second before glancing at Andre and I wasn’t too sure what to say about it, but I was surprised. Andre brought up the offer for the photoshoot again and I sat back in my chair glancing at the newsletter. It's the first time seeing my name on anything beside a reward certificate that a teacher would give in elementary school.“We’re going to pay you for your time,” Andre continued, then raised an eyebrow like he could read my thoughts. “You want to give it a try, right?”“You trust me to take your photo?” I asked him.“I wouldn’t be bugging if I didn’t,” Andre replied back and moved to sit beside me. “Come on, if I become famous, I’ll be thanking you fi

Once we were done we moved to a large field to sit and Elaine was laying out pre-made meals that Andre promised that we’ll have. We went in circles grabbing what was appealing to us and discussed plans that everyone will be doing once we’re done here. Luis joined in the conversation as he discussed going to the park with friends while Genevieve wanted to take Elaine to the mall before it closes. Andre was already looking over the pictures while showing them to Luis. I glanced over at Lucas not really sharing his own plans for tonight and he caught my stare.“Did you have fun today?” He asked me and moved a little closer towards me.“Yeah, I did. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, but I had fun using the camera and going along with them.” I answered, shyly, as I looked down at my plate. “I wasn’t too sure how things were going to go, but you guys convinced me to give it a try.”“I know. I was telling them before coming here that they shouldn’t push you, but Andre is a walking diva an

We all started cleaning up before heading towards the parking lot and I went with Lucas to his car; Andre came with us as usual. During the drive, Andre finally explained more about his audition and that it will be a small part with a few lines. He says that having some lines is better than being put as a background character or a silent role. I tried to understand the difference and we talked about the different career paths that Genevieve studies. I listened curiously until we arrived at the outlet and realized that we were close to the pier that Elliot and I go to. For a moment I was a little upset that he couldn't be here.“Oh, before we go to the stores and I overspend, let me send you the payment for the pictures you took,” Andre said and pulling out his phone then looked up at me. “I’ll make a direct payment on my phone. It’s connected with your phone number right?”“Um, yeah,” I answered shyly as I took out my phone and waited for the alert when I saw the amount he sent me. “W

Early the next day, Mom and I headed to my dad’s house for brunch. I looked at the new shoes I decided to wear and felt a bit lighter than I have for some time now. There has been a lot that have happened the past few weeks that is been giving me a lot of thoughts and also to reflect on. Compared to the beginning of the year, many conversations have brought forth new thoughts and things that I never considered for my life. Maybe things haven’t been fully answered for me, but it’s making things easier and I think Lucas was also right with what he said yesterday. I don’t understand the things he says sometimes, but the thought of trying a bit more sounds different from how he explained it.I am tired of putting up this barrier around myself, making me want to take a few steps forward. Some changes in my life slowly have been happening and I’m not sure when it all started, but I’ve been able to enjoy myself and I am curious about what else could happen. I glanced out the window seeing th
