sketch #358

what happened last night

Brother Michael is giving a sermon about caring for the elderly and Meals on Wheels or something, but I’ve got an itch. I grab a little offering envelope and one of those tiny pencils you only seem to see at church and on golf courses. Mom sniffs when she sees what I’m doing.

I start sketching Matt’s hand.

Under a full moon and a sky full of stars, we sprinted out of the Fun Tunnel, laughing and holding hands, jumping in circles. When we reached his Jeep, Matt gently leaned me against the door and kissed me so fully, the whole world went dark. It was just me and him and our bodies and a spark that flicked on and wouldn’t go out. His fingers traced from my ear to my chin, from my chin to my cheek, from my cheek to my lips.

I take care to draw the creases of his hand. I make his nails rugged but clean.

He dragged his fingers along the back of my neck as he pulled me forward so his mouth met mine.

I grin as I shade the dip between his forefinger and thumb.

Mom keeps sniffing and Daddy keeps looking at me sideways and smiling, so I carefully fold the drawing and stick it in my Bible.

I put the little pencil back into its holder and try to focus on the sermon.
