Annie asked, “What’s so funny, kids?”Together, we said, “Nothin’!”My mother made a suspicious sounding hmmmm, and then we were on the way ...ack into the house.We were covering all the steps we previously learned. “OK, first the Waltz steps. Mom, put on ‘The Rainbow Connection,’ please?”After we did all that, I stopped and asked, “Claire, want to learn a really cool waltz move?”“Sure, Charles — what is it?” Her face suddenly lit up.“It’s called The Underarm Turn. This step is a really flashy move. I moved over towards her and wrapped my arm around Sammy’s shoulder along the way. Both girls gave each other a small, ‘hands-to-shoulders’ type hug, and then Lynette went up on her tiptoes to give me a small peck on my cheek.When I rolled my eyes at that small PDA, Sammy softly said, “Relax, Lynette’s lip-prints aren’t near as bad as the ones Jennifer and I have given you in the past.”“Well, that’s a relief,” I said as I pulled both girls in tighter under my arms.“Do you three need any help. “Now,” she said, pressing the tip into my right asscheek. She slid the cool metal across me towards my crack. “If you want this to end, if you can't handle what I'm doing, say red light.” A sneer crossed her voice, like only a pathetic, scared baby would do it. “I'll stop. I won't go any further.”“Okay,” I said and shivered, wanting to say it. But what about my mom's promotion? Her job? “I can handle it. Every girl has to lose her cherry sometime. Why not like this? It'll be memorable.”“Mmm,. And Meiersdottir was baffled by the peaceful resolution."It was your idea, Amanda," he told her. "As has been everything else of consequence on this planet." He leaned over to kiss her again, as he already had over and over again since they reunited."What do you mean, my idea?" she asked. "Quit kissing me so much and tell me. Oh, hell." And she in turn reached over to pull him to her for yet another kiss. "OK, now, say." Just before I left you said something about if only they would think.
