That Awkward Moment

fshk: romanceclub: Where you’re eating a giant piece of cake and reading a romance novel and a sex scene happens. I’m amending this to something that used to happen to me ALL THE TIME: “When you’re riding the subway during rush hour with lots of people are pressed up against you and reading a romance novel and a sex scene happens.” Eating a giant piece of cake and reading a sex scene is...
