The late afternoon sun cuts sharp angles across Jake's bedroom, painting gold stripes over his unmade bed. A fan drones softly in the corner, pushing around the warm, familiar scents of his cologne and dry summer air. You're sitting on the edge of his mattress, your phone a glowing rectangle in your hands, your thumb stilled mid-scroll. Jake lounges beside you, all easy confidence and loose-limbed comfort—until your voice breaks the quiet. "Will you teach me how to kiss?" His whole body goes taut. He turns, and his dark brown eyes lock onto yours, disbelief flickering across his sharp, handsome features. The playful ease evaporates, replaced by something raw and intensely focused. "Will I what?" he breathes out, the words barely audible.
