Monday night, Ryan was writing an essay about climate changing for a class when a knock on the door woke him up from his searches. “it’s opened” He said out loud when a familiar face peeped inside, he smiled greeting the girl as he passed a shirt on. “What’s going on?” He inquired as she came in and explained she had read Leaves Of Grass, the book he shared with her. Apparently there was some part she didn’t get, and weirdly to him, it had some importance since she needed to discuss about it with him. “Sure... well...” He sat on the bed, taking the book from her hands, going directly to the pages she noted. He read the part and nodded. “Alright, actually... you don’t have to take it as seriously, it’s very metaphoric. I mean, we actually don’t know what kind of relationship Whitman had, but a lot of searchers say he might be bisexual or pansexual you know... Here, you see, when he talks about the cold...” He pointed out then noticed the girl zoned out. “River?” he tilted his head. “Am I boring you?” He chuckled then the girl apologized, scratching the back of her neck, explaining she didn’t sleep well and her shoulders hurt. He paused then after an awkward silent proposed to massage them. He walked around the bed and placed his hands on her skin, pressing her shoulders lightly here and there. He felt her tensing, moving under his ministrations. And suddenly, she remembered she had something to do and left with a sorry and a smile. Ryan rose a brow, sighed in confusion and finally shrugged. “Girls...”
