The Model Yacht

Font Size

“It’s beautiful,” I said. Didn’t know what else to say. 

The wind rattled the corrugated iron roof, and, in the semi-darkness, an enormous model yacht.

“It belonged to my Grandfather,” she said. 

The sun shone in from a tiny hole in the wall. I pulled up my top, and the spot of sunlight glowed on my tummy.

We did it on the ground, beside the boat. We were only sixteen, half-naked, pale little bodies, all stretched out on the stone floor.

Afterwards, we kissed, not really knowing why. 

But I tasted myself on your lips. That was the first time.
