“Honestly I have been telling the truth this whole time,” I say with a small shrug. “It’s just a reaction I have to girls feet, I guess.” She narrows her eyes at me. I shrug again. ” I did say that I didn’t mind them on my face, I guess I just liked it more then I thought.” I say simply, as if it’s the most normal thing. Kim thinks about it for another second before she looks at her feet and then frowns at me again.
“you said my feet smell!” She accuses. Assumedly sticking to her opinion that I am lying. I am still red in the face, but I give her a smile.
” I mean i didn’t say bad” I say obviously playing semantics. She does roll her eyes at that and smile back at me some of the tension leaving.
“So you’re one of those guys who likes licking feet?” She says not hiding the fact that she has a little disgust in her voice. Her top teeth visible as she shows visible discomfort. To this I’m not 100% sure what to say. I had definitely thought about that before and I had seen it plenty of times on my computer or phone.
“I guess so?” I say uncertainly. She cocks her head to the side.
“You guess so?” She repeats, expecting an explanation. Again, I shrug and shake my head, attempting to express my honesty.
“I mean I’ve never done it.” I say, “I’ve never done anything like that.” I continue. I see Kim’s face turned to disbelief, so I add. “And I’m serious! Just now, that was the first time I’ve ever had a girl’s feet on my face. That was a genuine reaction, I think that’s kind of why I froze a bit, I wasn’t sure what to do.” I say, determined to make sure she knew I wasn’t lying. She doesn’t change her facial expression right away, but after a moment or two she seems to decide I was telling the truth. She looks down at her feet, after wiggling her toes a bit she looks back over at me.
“So, all those girls hitting you up in your phone, and you have never licked a girl’s feet before?” She asks, still looking down at her feet. I nod, legitimate resentment returning to my chest.
“Yeah the feet thing is still viewed as being pretty weird so I pretty much keep it to myself.” I say truthfully. I see her nodding with agreement.
“Yeah I’m not gonna argue with you there, I posted a picture of me at the beach this summer and my feet were in the picture.” She says shaking her head as if remembering something crazy. “It got hundreds of comments, I was super confused until I noticed that 90% of the comments were dudes complementing my feet and telling me what they wanted to do to them.” She finishes with an air of concern. I nod my head, secretly making a note to find the picture she was talking about later.
“Yeah, guys be like that sometimes.” I say, mimicking her earlier comment. She frowns and narrows her eyes at me. For a moment it looks like she wants to kick me again but thinks better of it remembering I might like it. We sit in silence for a moment more, I am about to go back to my phone when she breaks the silence again. Her voice is still thick with lack of comprehension.
