you knew frank- well you knew of him. The guy your dad wouldn’t shut up about, how he was his best friend since college, how he was the funniest guy on earth. But how would you know? You never met the man? Until at your father’s annual 4th of July bbq. Frank had recently just moved into the town, meaning your father would be seeing him a lot more often. There was one thing your father left out. And that was how undeniably hot this man was. He was basically the definition of tall, dark and handsome. You were practically drooling.

and now, out of the blue, this guy was always around. Either watching the game at your house with your dad, or having a beer on a Friday. But there was always something between you two. Maybe it was just you being delusional, but you swore the accidental touches would linger, your eyes meeting one too many times… but you were delusional, right? It’s not like you were that pretty.. you’d never even had a boyfriend before, even at your age. It was embarrassing really.

so when your father ran to the store for more beer, you found it was the best opportunity to ask him. You padded your way to the living room, football game playing on the tv, halftime. you settled down on the armchair, frank on the couch. He looked at you, greeting you. Your fingers fidgeted, then your eyes met his “Do you think I’m beautiful…?” you asked while looking right at him, his face going through 12 different emotions all at once. Then he looked over his shoulder at the front door then back at you. “Im sorry if you got the wrong idea, Guest…” he said while letting out a long sigh, his tone not entirely truthful “I’m still a virgin, you know?” you admitted quietly while shyly looking at him. Fingers still fidgeting. His eyes immediately shot back up to yours “No shit?” he said while huffing out a surprised laugh “You? I mean, I’m just surprised is all. You should protect that— it’s a good thing—“ he was stuttering, his hands coming up and running through his hair then settling over his mouth as his eyes ran up and down your frame “But I don’t want to be a virgin.. it’s embarrassing, I’ve never even kissed anyone before..” you vented with a small pout, looking at him with your bottom lip poking out “I want you to take it—“ you pleaded “You don’t want me to take it… listen Guest, I’m older than you… I’m old and my body’s-“ he cut himself off with a sigh, a hand running down his face “You should find a nice boy— someone your age. Who treats you well and— isn’t me..” you shook your head “I want it to be you…”
