Scandal

I was talking to a friend about their most scandalous act, moment, etc. We decided its hould stay PG-13 at worst just to keep the M rating off the menu. Since it would be wrong of me to divulge my friends scandal, I've decided to divulge my own. This is seriously the worst I've ever done, even without any rating censorship.

A little more than three yeas ago I went on vacation to Egypt. It was truly a wonderous trip. I learned more about history and about myself in those few weeks then I learned in many many years of school. Any ways the trip will remain with my forever. Well on this trip I was just finishing my first year of college and had just broken up with my first college boyfriend, whom I had dated for a little over 6 months. On the trip I met a young Egyptian man, he worked in a gift store in the lobby of one of my hotels. He was really handsome and was into me too. One night after everyone else had gone to sleep, I went back downstairs to meet Markous. We sat in a secluded corner of the lobby, holding hands. We talked for hours and when he leaned into to kiss me I let him. We sat there talking and kissing for hours, finally watching the sun rise over the Nile. With one last kiss and an email address hastily scrawled on a scrap of hotel stationary, we left each other never to hear from or see each other ever again.

For some this story was not a scandal, for some it is. For me it was an experience unlike any I have ever had in my life. A little scandal to remind me that one doesn't have to be responsible always. Once in awhile you can do something stupid and it isn't the end of the world.
