“You’re a mature adult, and you make good choices. Stella’s mouth worked without issuing words. Other than kissing.” The best kissing of Stella’s life. She might like it that her mother had discovered her male visitor.Ī brief silence ensued, followed by, “Stella dear, did you spend the night with a man?” Michael.” A breathless kind of nervousness filled her. “Who was that?” Even with the phone several inches from her ear, Stella could hear her mother’s surprise. She watched his departure in a dazed state. Instead of leaving immediately as she expected, he leaned down and brushed a fleeting kiss to her mouth. “I need to go, but we’re on for next Friday.” Michael approached her with a fluid-limbed gait. “Stella dear, your father’s-oh, hold on a second.” Her father’s deep voice rumbled on the other end, and Stella held the phone away from her ear as her parents discussed golf and lunch plans. “I should get that.” She slipped inside, sat on the edge of the bed, and pressed the talk button on her phone with a shaky thumb. He sucked his bottom lip into his mouth as he stared deep into her eyes, looking like he was two seconds away from kissing her again. Michael tore away at once, flushed and breathing heavily.
