‘Fade to black,’ David said.

‘It’s so good.’

‘It can be, it can be now,’ he added.

In his eyes as he stared at me across the table was trust and uncertainty, a bit like a puppy dog and, although I’d always suspected, I now knew for sure that with boys you have to let them believe they have the best ideas, pretend they know all the answers, ask subtle questions that make subtle suggestions, mould them like wet clay on a potter’s wheel until they are ready for the oven. I gave him my big schoolgirl smile and we went back to the bedroom with the sweet musty smell of sperm in the air and the navy-blue sheets stained in patterns like an archipelago of islands on a dark sea, the red moon motionless on the ceiling.

I lay on my back with the pillow under my bottom. Like a thirsty creature at a salt lick, David spent hours drinking from my pussy and the thing about sex is it’s a drug. The more you have the more you want. The more you need. Like a drug, or so I’m told, except for a sip of wine and the occasional flute of shampoo, it’s not something I really know anything about, but apparently, like a drug, when you’re high on sex you have more energy. You see things differently. Colours are brighter. Jokes are funnier. Life is glorious. Look at the girl walking dreamily down the street, wide-eyed, tossing her mane, taking long slow strides, and you know she’s fresh from carnal knowledge, her face radiant with promise, and a little anxious, too. Anxious for the next time.

We drifted into a lazy sleep curled in each other’s arms like baby birds in a nest and I awoke in the triangle of dusty light that angled through a gap in the curtains. It was the first time I had spent the night with somebody and it was sort of weird waking up with a man in a strange bed.
