Double Flip

Chapter 4

Chapter 4Ben, Ben, I’ve wanted you ever since when

I saw your lips; I saw your nose.

I saw your fingertips, your toes.

I love your big one and your pinky.

Adore your butt, admire your winkie.

I really wanna screw ya.

I wish that I could do ya.

Shrimpy, don’t be wimpy.

Just tell me when I can!

Wow! Manipulating the English language into flowery poetry was obviously not something he excelled at. Stick to the jock thing. The feelings behind the words were genuine, though. Did he dare reveal them? Did he dare hit Send?

“Damn it. Why do I suck so bad?!” He shoved away the laptop, then pulled it right back again, to bring up the picture that inspired his alleged poetry. “I’m pretty sure you’re gay, even if you haven’t come out. Of course, just because you are, that doesn’t mean you’d wanna get with me.” He put a finger to Ben’s lips on the screen. “Maybe you would, though? Huh, Shrimpy?”
