What I Taught Him Before His First Night with Her
I went into his room and found him with tears in his eyes. He was about to cancel his girlfriend’s visit out of fear of his first time. I couldn’t leave him like that.

When I came back from the bathroom, my two brothers had her cornered in the center of the living room, and there was no surprise in her eyes: there was a smile that had been waiting months for that moment.
I gave her permission to go out with both of them on the same afternoon. When she came back to the parking lot, she still had one man’s marks on her and a date with the other at seven-thirty.
It was three in the morning when I peeked into my parents’ room and saw my father in front of the television. I didn’t leave. I kept watching.
I heard my twin sister moving in the shower. When I went into the bathroom, I saw her panties on the floor, and everything got complicated that very morning.
He knew exactly what he was doing beneath that blanket. And I chose not to pull away. What came after changed our dynamic forever.
He suggested we fuck while looking out at the horizon, with the field all to ourselves and the sunset light falling slowly. I didn’t hesitate for a second.
I’d gone months without opening the hidden folder on my phone. That night, insomnia and desire decided for me.
I accepted without thinking. I read everything he posted. I never liked a single post. Three years later, I still don’t dare write to him, but I think of him every night.
