Chapter 11
Harmony's First Kiss
It's been a week since the Kindergartener's had their school dance and Harmony and Hartman are playing on the playground at recess. They are having fun playing tag, hide and seek and duck, duck goose with Genevieve and Braden and a few others. When the bell rang for recess to be over Hartman pulled Harmony close and gave her a kiss. Harmony's eyes widen in shock and then she pulled away. Genevieve saw the whole thing.
"Did I see what I thought I saw? Did Hartman actually kiss you?" Genevieve asked.
"Yes he did." Harmony answered.
"What was it like?" Genevieve asked.
"It was kind of sweet." Harmony answered.
"Are you going to tell your mom and dad about this?" Genevieve asked.
"I'm going to tell mom today after school but I'm too afraid to tell daddy because I'm afraid he might get mad, but I'm not sure if he would or not." Harmony answered.
"Why do you think that?" Genevieve asked.
"Because I'm my daddy's little princess and he doesn't want to see me grow up too fast." Harmony answered.
"I'm sure that Aunt Anneliese will make sure that Uncle Robbie Ray doesn't get mad and if he does I'm sure that she'll talk to him about it." Genevieve replied.
"How do you so much about that?" Harmony asked.
"I've been talking with my parents that's all." Genevieve answered.
Later that day it was time to go home. Harmony and Genevieve are waiting for their parents to pick them up. The whole ride home Harmony was thinking about that kiss Hartman gave her. When they arrived home Robbie Ray and Anneliese were talking to Harmony about school. At first she didn't say anything but her parents kept asking her and then she got up and ran to her room. Robbie Ray was going to go see if she's alright, but Anneliese stopped him.
"Why did you do that darling?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Let me talk to her, sweetheart. You know just mother to daughter." Anneliese answered.
"Ok, darling." Robbie Ray replied as he pulled her close and kissed her.
A few minutes later Anneliese walks into Harmony's room.
"What's wrong, Baby Girl?" Anneliese asked.
Harmony mumbles something under her breath.
"Speak up, Harmony, I can't hear you." Anneliese said.
"Hartman kissed me today at recess." Harmony said.
At first Anneliese was shocked and speechless.
"Mommy are you ok?" Harmony asked.
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine it's just that I'm little girl is growing up you got your first kiss today." Anneliese answered.
"I'm afraid to tell daddy." Harmony said.
"Are you afraid that he might get angry or something?" Anneliese asked.
"Yeah I am." Harmony answered.
"Well, Baby Girl, I was afraid to tell my dad about my first kiss when I was your age and when I told him he did get mad but my mom told him that he had to let me grow up." Anneliese replied.
"Oh ok, but I'm still afraid to tell him." Harmony said.
"You know that since Hartman kissed you he is now your boyfriend." Anneliese said.
"Boyfriend?" Harmony asked.
"Uh, you know what I'll tell you when you're older." Anneliese answered.
"Why?" Harmony asked.
"Because it's complicated." Anneliese answered.
"Ok, mommy." Harmony replied.
"You have to tell your father about the kiss now, Baby Girl." Anneliese said.
"Mommy, why do you keep calling me "Baby Girl"?" Harmony asked.
"That is what my mom always called me so I decided to call you that because you are my first born." Anneliese answered.
"Thanks, mommy." Harmony replied as she gave her mom a hug.
A few minutes later Anneliese and Harmony went back downstairs and saw Robbie Ray sitting on the couch watching TV. Anneliese sat on one side of Robbie Ray and Harmony sat on the other side.
"What are my two favorite girls up to?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Sweetheart, Harmony has something she wants to tell you." Anneliese answered.
"Mommy you tell him, I don't want to." Harmony replied.
"No, Baby Girl, you have to tell him yourself." Anneliese said.
"What do you want to tell me, princess?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Well, daddy today at recess, Hartman gave me a kiss." Harmony answered.
When Robbie Ray heard that he got so angry that he didn't know what to say. A few seconds later he went out to the back patio.
"You see mommy this is what I was afraid of." Harmony whispered.
"I have a way to calm him down, Baby Girl." Anneliese whispered.
Anneliese got to her feet and went out to the back patio to join her husband.
"Sweetheart I know that you're mad, but you have to let her grow up sometime." Anneliese said.
"She's too young to get kissed, she's only in Kindergarten." Robbie Ray said with an angry tone in his voice.
"Sweetheart, my dad was the same way when my sister, my twin sister and myself were Harmony's age." Anneliese said.
"What are you talking about darling?" Robbie Ray asked.
"Well when my sister, Lisa was Harmony's age she got her first kiss from a boy and our dad got mad when he found out but our mom told him that he has to let her grow up. The same thing happened when my twin sister Arica and I got our first kiss when we were Harmony's age. After that my dad wasn't mad anymore and he was glad that his three daughters got their first kiss." Anneliese answered.
A few minutes later Robbie Ray walked back inside and sat down next to Harmony on the couch.
"I'm sorry that I got mad at you, princess, but your mother told me that she, her sister and her twin sister got their first kiss when they were your age and their dad got mad but their mother talked to him and he was mad at them anymore. I have to admit that I got my first kiss when I was your age princess. Now there is only one girl that I want to kiss." Robbie Ray said.
"Who's that daddy?" Harmony asked.
"He means me, Baby Girl." Anneliese answered.
"She's right about that." Robbie Ray replied.
"I'm going up to my room to play. I love you, mommy. I love you, daddy." Harmony said as she gave her parents a hug and a kiss and then ran up to her room.
As soon as Harmony was out of sight Robbie Ray and Anneliese were lying on the couch kissing each other passionately.
