| Under his Bed
Janet Kuypers 5/27/15 We hadn’t dated that long, we’re not that close... and he brought me to his begroom, sat me down on his bed, said he had something to show me. My legs are now hanging over the side of his bed and he says, “Hold on a minute” and he gets on his knees. And I’m thinking, “What does he want to show me?” But while he’s on his knees he reached under his bed. I was sitting there, my legs were dangling over the edge and I couldn’t see what he was doing — until he got up off the floor and placed the black objects on the bed. “What is this?” I ask. “They’re knee pads,” he answered. So he’s brought me to his bedroom, I’m sitting on his bed, and he’s showing me knee pads. There was no explanation, he just brought me to his bedroom to show me knee pads. So my mind goes into overdrive. Why did he bring me in here to show me these? I mean, we’re not that close, we havent dated that long, but is this something he needs for some sort of sexual act? Is he concerned about my scrped knees if I’m getting him off? My eyes were saucers, and all I could ask was, “What are these for?” He started to grin. “I just got roller blades,” he answered, which I hadn't seen and didn’t know. But as I said, we hadn’t dated that long, we’re not that close, so all I could think when he brought me to his bedroom and showed me new gear he kept under his bed, all I thought was that this was the most bizarre way to ask someone for the first time for safe sex. |
