Managing to pull away, I sat down next to Jeanne, ignoring her jibes. At the contact, every part of me shivered, and as Jeanne kissed me back, I failed to notice anything else. XXNX I pick up the phone, and hear the words, “Is this David Leonard? It starts the same way. I had expected for it to feel awkward, having never danced, not even at my prom. Too scared, too proud or the fear of rejection, I don’t know, but it looked like I would forever remain in the friend zone, which is the worst place for a guy to be. I found myself enjoying the closeness, the warmth shared between us. Trying to pull away, and ignoring that sly look in her eyes, my eyes caught Jeanne, who was trying hard not to laugh at my discomfort.
