Julie and Mathew walked hand in hand thru the food court looking for the restrooms. They found them on the opposite side of the cafeteria. When they reached the entrance hallway they stopped. The first sign said Family Bathroom. Mathew turned to Julie and said jokingly “do you think anyone will mind if I use the “family” bathroom alone?” He let go of her hand and began walking away from her down the hall towards the men’s room. Julie surveyed the backside of his body as he walked away. As Mathew reached the door she responded with a straight face “well, I could always go with you, and hold your hand”.
Julie loved the look on his face right before he left her standing there alone. His look seemed to indicate that he thought about having her join him in the bathroom. She stood at the end of the hallway surveying the people sitting at the tables. Bright neon signs indentified the individual food vendors scattered around the edge of the food court.
It really didn’t matter what he did when he returned. The simple fact that they would have several more hours together made her happy. When he did return, Julie could not help but turn around when she heard him walking down the hallway.
“You…are trouble” he said with a smirk.
Mathew pushed the door open with one hand, turned to Julie, and held out his other hand to her. With a huge smile he said “come on”. Julie hesitated, not sure if he was being funny, or actually encouraging her to join him. She slowly started to walk toward Mathew, unsure of herself. She felt a bit of anxiety. He laughed and said “you just wait there”, then he turned, and walked into the restroom. Julie laughed as the door closed.

As she waited she made a mental list of the emotions she was feeling. The day was surreal. She felt happiness and anxiety at the same time. She felt this odd connection with Mathew that seemed to tighten around her heart as the day went on. She purposely did not think about having to leave him later that afternoon. Her heart hadn’t slowed its pace from the moment they met. She thought about what she should be doing when he emerged from the restroom. Should she be looking down the hallway at him? Or stand at the end of the hallway with her back to him? If she stood with her back to him and pretended not to hear him coming, would he walk up behind her, put his arms around her and kiss her neck? Or would he do something simpler, like gently touch her lower back to let her know he was there? These odd thoughts crossed her mind, and she laughed at herself. She was completely out of her element.

“You would have come in there with me”.
“Yes, and you would have liked it”
“We would have gone too far”
“No. We might have felt each other up a bit, but we would have stopped”
He laughed, and they walked on. He liked that she was so forward with her desire for him. He thought of bending her over the sink in the restroom.
