"I'm ready for this," I told Beth bravely as we went out the door into the early evening dusk. "I wasn't wearing any more than this when I mowed the l...wn - both front and back this afternoon." Oh, that was brave!" Beth complimented me."Thanks." I blushed. "It wasn't too bad, except I got covered with grass clippings and they kind of itched. And I think Dee put out the word to every girl between the ages of ten and fourteen, judging by the audience I had!"Beth mumbled something."What?"She looked. I hated to but I had to leave, he helped me get dressed and I headed home. It was amazing to me that just a few days ago, I had never really even kissed a guy, now just within a few days, I was kissing like a movie star and had given oral sex three times in less then 30 hours. My mom seemed a little suspicious and told me she had called over to one of my friend’s house Amber and I wasn’t there. I quickly told her I was with Cindy and I knew if she called her Cindy would cover for me as I had. How long do you think they'll hold him?"I glanced over at her, "Todd?" She nodded. "Well, the officer in charge said that Todd's father was some sort of local big shot, so he'll probably make bail in a couple of days. Depends on what the DA wants to hit him with, I guess. Why?" We'd stopped for a light, I looked over at her again, a little closer this time, and saw that her makeup was running a little. From crying, I guess. Sure wore a lot of it, I thought, and I wondered why she was using so. As usual, I stood and watched until she reached her front door and went inside. The difference this time was that she didn’t look back and give me her usual wave. The other difference was that I stood for ages on the threshold lost in thought. Had that really happened? Indeed, what had just happened? My mind was a whirl of uncertainties. I looked upwards trying to gain some perspective. It was a clear night and, although the street lights masked any stars, they couldn’t blot out the gibbous.
