"Wow! I've never been kissed like that before." Mandee said with a bit of a
laugh in her voice. Christian questioned her, "Really? Because you seemed
to be really good at it." Mandee laughed, "Well, let me explain. I HAVE
been kissed before, but it's never meant anything. People have only kissed
me because they were dared to. They never really meant it. But you.... You
meant it." Christian smiled at her, she smiled back. Christian pulled
Mandee close to him. Mandee welcomed him, and put her arms around him.
They soon were lying down in Christian's bed. Telling stories about their childhood. Things they had to deal with in school. Life, in other words. Christian wanted to know everything about Mandee. He wanted know to exactly why she was in that alley way this afternoon. He wanted to know what happened to her real parents. He wanted to know what happened between her and her foster parents. There was so much to be said, but so little time in a day. They talked in each others arms long into the night. They eventually feel asleep that way.
The next morning when Christian woke up, Mandee was gone. Panicked he ran down stairs. "Mom! Mom, where's Mandee? Where's Mandee.." His voice trailed off as he got to the living room. She was sitting there e with his mother. "Good morning, sleepy head. We were just about to come up stairs, and wake you." Christian's mother said with a smile. Christian smiled a little bit, then went and sat on the couch next to Mandee. "I thought you were gone." He whispered into her ear as he sat down. She turned to him, and said, "I could never leave you. And don't worry. I didn't say anything!"
Christian was at ease once again. For the next few hours Mandee, Christian, and Christian's mother sat in the living room talking. Christian's mother, Ines was very interested in what Mandee had to say. Christian thought that she liked Mandee. His feeling was reassured when Mandee left the room for a moment. "Christian, I really like this girl. I like her so much more than any of your past girlfriends that you have brought home to meet me." Ines said with a smile. "Don't tell her I told you, but I'm in love with her."
