Bean ones. I look at it questioningly. Following my gaze, he turns red. “I told my parents I was going to help you study, then we might watch a movie, and if it got late enough, I’d crash on your living room floor.” “And they said?” “Mom said, ‘Have a nice time, dear.’ Dad just looked at me.” “Embarrassing much?” “Worth it.” He walks slowly over, his eyes locked on mine, then puts his hands around my waist. “Um. So . . . are we going to study?” My tone’s deliberately casual. Jase slides his thumbs behind my ears, rubbing the hollow at their base. He’s only inches from my face, still looking into my eyes. “You bet. I’m studying you.” He scans over me, slowly, then returns to my eyes. “You have little flecks of gold in the middle of the blue.” He bends forward and touches his lips to one eyelid, then the other, then moves back. “And your eyelashes aren’t blond at all, they’re brown. And . . .” He steps back a little, smiling slowly at me. “You’re already blushing—here”—his lips touch the pulse at the hollow of my throat—“and probably here . . .” The thumb that brushes against my breast feels warm even through my T-shirt. In the movies, clothes just melt away when the couple is ready to make love. They’re all golden and backlit with the soundtrack soaring. In real life, it just isn’t like that. Jase has to take off his shirt and fumbles with his belt buckle and I hop around the room pulling off my socks, wondering just how unsexy that is. People in movies don’t even have socks. When Jase pulls off his jeans, change he has in his pocket slips out and clatters and rolls across the floor. “Sorry!” he says, and we both freeze, even though no one’s home to hear the sound. In movies, no one ever gets self-conscious at this point, thinking they should have brushed their teeth. In movies, it’s all beautifully choreographed, set to an increasingly dramatic soundtrack. In movies, when the boy pulls the girl to him when they are both finally undressed, they never bump their teeth together and get embarrassed and have to laugh and try again. But here’s the truth: In movies, it’s never half so lovely as it is here and now with Jase.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Huntley Fitzpatrick" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/huntley-fitzpatrick/he-s-brought-a-sleeping-bag-one-of-those-big-green-bulky-l-l-bean/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d4/huntley-fitzpatrick-4385_dear-dad_he-s-brought-a-sleeping-bag-one-of-those_2758551.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d4/huntley-fitzpatrick-4385_dear-dad_he-s-brought-a-sleeping-bag-one-of-those_2758551.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8d4/huntley-fitzpatrick-4385_dear-dad_he-s-brought-a-sleeping-bag-one-of-those_2758551.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“He’s brought a sleeping bag, one of those big green bulky L.L.
