He asks ‘Why though? No offence though.’
I ask ‘When was your first time?’
He says ‘I was 12’

He says ‘She was older than me.’
I ask ‘How old?’
And he says ‘It’s better that the girl is older, that’s how I learnt all things I know’
He licks his lips.
I ask again ‘How old?’
He says ‘I could use one finger to make you sob’

I ask again ‘How old?’

He says ‘I’d look after you, you know?’

He says ’34.’
He says ‘She was beautiful though and I know what you’re thinking but it’s not like that, I’m a man, I’m a man, I’m a man. No one could ever hurt me’.
