And since it’s on the way to Jamaica where I thought we could spend a few more days and ring in the new year …’ I screamed. I jumped in his arms... He spun me around until we both almost fell on the floor. He booked a room at an all-inclusive resort that was just for couples. This was going to be fantastic as long as we could endure the time with my parents. They were great people except I was still their kid, and they were just as overinvolved, overprotective and meddlesome as they were when I. A night to think it overI punched the button on the message light and heard David's cheerful voice."Hi Babe, hope you're OK. Hope you won't mind, but I need to extend the trip a day. Need to spend some time with some of the guys, so we are going to play a round of golf tomorrow and then head home. I should be home by about... about 9, maybe a little later. Give the kids a hug. And you too, of course! Love ya! Is that too late for a romantic dinner? I'd love that! How 'bout seeing if that old. As quickly as it started, our first kiss was over. He said nothing but just looked at me in shock and I was not sure what to do. We sat there in silence for only a minute but it felt as though an eternity had passed. Then he started to speak.“I take it that you are gay too.” He said very quietly with a small smile.“I am” I whispered back.Then with those words he leaned to me and kissed me and it was the greatest feeling of my life up to that point. I could feel the electricity that jumped. I think our girl is coming back …The next morning, though, there was still no Helen. We were up like normal with coffee and breakfast for Tim. Mom and I were on the drive as Tim was backing out of the garage, his attention behind him as he did it. Suddenly, from behind all of us, “Tim! Wait, please.” Tim slammed on the brakes and the gravel of the driveway crunched under the tires as they stopped turning and instead slid over the surface. Mom and I turned in time to see a naked Helen sprinting.
