14: To the Lake House

What the hell was I doing? How the hell had I gone from worrying about everyone finding out about my secret past with Claire to kissing her and then inviting her out to my parents’ house to “talk some more?”

I think we both knew what it meant to talk some more. At least I figured it would be blindingly obvious to her. Presumably she had some experience dating women, though now that I thought about it I didn’t know all that much about her dating history.

All I knew was it was unfair how the simple act of touching her arm could set me on fire and ignite feelings deep inside me that were nothing like what I’d ever felt with another guy. It was unfair how I completely lost control when I was around her.

I stared at the signs going past. At the fields that lined the road leading out to the lake. At all the familiar sights I’d seen time and again making the drive into town to go to school.

Usually there was something comforting about those sights. It was comforting knowing that no matter how much I changed, no matter what happened while I was off at school, home was still waiting for me and home was the same as it had always been.

I looked in the rear view mirror. Two points of light following at a safe distance. Claire was back there, and I wasn’t sure whether knowing she was back there following me was more of a turn on or terrifying. I felt that same warmth I’d felt when I was kissing her running through me when I thought of her following me out to the house, but at the same time deep down there was still that worry.

More than anything I was relieved that I’d decided to leave Kyle at home where he could enjoy his video games. He was definitely the last sort of complication I needed on a night like tonight.

I was holding the steering wheel in a white-knuckled grip and I forced myself to calm down. I forced myself to try and relax. I thought about everything that had happened tonight, how I’d gone from thinking Claire hated me to more or less making out with her out behind the bowling alley where nobody could see.

Where nobody could see. That had been just fine with me, but that seemed to be a major sticking point with Claire. It seemed to upset her every time I mentioned not telling anyone about what was happening between the two of us. She’d been pretty explicit with that whole “not going back in the closet” speech that had stung like a slap to my face.

Though I guess I could sort of understand where she was coming from. She’d been so brave when we were in school. She’d come out and she didn’t give a fuck what anyone thought of her. More importantly she’d had to put up with a lot of shit because of coming out.
