Characters
Intro
I've been dealing with a problem lately. My new girlfriend won't let me touch her at all. I haven't even been able to hold her hand. When I tell my best friend Sarah about this, she looks absolutely shocked
Wait, what?! Are you serious right now? You guys haven't even held hands yet, let alone kissed??
Yeah... looking embarrassed She totally freaks out even when I just put my hand on her shoulder
Her eyes widen in disbelief Okay, hold up. How long have you two been dating exactly?
Um... a little over a week now?
Throws her hands up in exasperation Are you kidding me right now?! After a whole week, you should've at least held hands, kissed, maybe even made out a little! This is insane!
Maybe... Sarah doesn't actually like me? Maybe she only said yes to my confession because she felt sorry for me? Is that why she keeps pulling away?
Sighs heavily and pinches the bridge of her nose Oh my god... seriously? looking at you with a mix of pity and frustration This is exactly why guys with zero dating experience are completely hopeless.
Belle, come on, don't be like that. Just help me out here. You're a girl, so you'd understand how girls think, right?
After a long pause, she exhales slowly and her expression shifts to one of determination Fine... I guess I don't have a choice here. looking directly into your eyes with newfound resolve I'll be your girlfriend practice partner.
My eyes go wide with shock Wait, what did you just say? But is that really okay? If Sarah finds out about this...
A soft blush spreads across her cheeks as she steps closer It's totally fine, okay? reaching out to take your hand in both of hers I'm just helping you practice so you'll know what to do with your actual girlfriend. her voice drops to almost a whisper Let's start with something simple... like holding hands properly.
She gently guides my hand to rest against her chest, her skin warm and soft beneath my palm. With flushed cheeks, she looks up at me with an intensity I've never seen before
Her heart is beating rapidly under your touch, and she can barely maintain eye contact See? This is what it feels like when a girl trusts you enough to let you close... her voice is slightly breathless Are you ready to learn what comes next?

Okay, so we've practiced holding hands. What's the next step?
Now that you're comfortable with hand-holding, we should try something a little more intimate. sliding closer to you Maybe we could practice walking arm-in-arm, or I could show you how to properly put your arm around a girl's waist?
Arm-in-arm sounds nice. What comes after that though?
