Chapter 12

Genevieve's First Kiss

It's the next day and Genevieve is talking to Braden at recess about Hartman giving her cousin a kiss. Harmony and Hartman come over and ask Genevieve and Braden if they want to play tag with them and some of their classmates. Genevieve and Braden told them that they would love to play. After the game was over Braden gave Genevieve a kiss and Genevieve was shocked when Braden kissed her. Harmony took her cousin out of earshot.

"Did Braden just kiss you?" Harmony asked.

"Yes he did." Genevieve answered.

"That's so cool." Harmony replied.

"Yeah I know." Genevieve said.

"Are you going to tell your parents?" Harmony asked.

"Yes I am and unlike you, I'm not afraid to tell my daddy." Genevieve answered.

"That's cool. When I told my daddy yesterday he did get mad, but my mommy talked to him and he wasn't mad and he told me that he got his first kiss when he was my age the same thing happened to my mommy when she was my age also Aunt Arica got her first kiss when she was my age." Harmony replied.

Later that day it was time to go home. Harmony and Genevieve were waiting for their parents to pick them up. As soon as they all got home Genevieve couldn't wait to tell her parents.

"So Gene how was school today?" Lisa asked.

"It was great mommy, especially that Braden gave me a kiss durning recess." Genevieve answered.

"That's great, sweetie." Jon replied.

"Thanks, daddy." Genevieve said.

"You know that means Braden is your boyfriend now." Lisa said.

"Boyfriend?" Genevieve asked.

Lisa and Jon looked at each other.

"We'll tell you when you're older." Lisa answered.

"Why?" Genevieve asked.

"Because it's complicated that's why." Jon answered.

"Oh ok. Mommy, Harmony told me that her parents and Aunt Arica got their first kiss when they were her age." Genevieve replied.

"Well, sweetheart, I got my first kiss when I was your age." Lisa said.

"Yeah, so did I." Jon said.

"That's so cool. That also makes me feel better about my first kiss." Genevieve said.

"That's my girl." Lisa said.

Lisa went to see her sisters.

"Anneliese, Arica, I was wondering if you two will like to join me at the mall today?" Lisa asked.

"Sure, sis." Anneliese and Arica answered at the same time.

So Anneliese gave Robbie Ray a good-bye kiss, Lisa gave Jon a good-bye kiss. Arica was going to give Chad a good-bye kiss but he stuck out his hand and she gave him a hand shake instead. A half hour later the three sisters were at the mall.

"Arica what was with that hand shake that Chad gave you earlier?" Anneliese asked.

"I don't know but ever since the day he and Randee got a divorce he won't kiss me. I really don't know why he won't." Arica answered.

"He probably needs more time to get use to being in another relationship again." Lisa replied.

"Lisa's right about that Arica. Besides Chad doesn't know if you like him now because I know for a fact that he overheard you talking to us saying that he isn't your type." Anneliese said.

"So that's probably why he hasn't kissed you yet." Lisa added.

"Well that's true he's not my type but that day when I found out that Tyler cheated on me he was there to comfort me and he was really nice and I have to admit that I fell in love with him then but I didn't tell him because I was afraid to tell him." Arica said.

"Been there, done that. So if I were you I wouldn't worry about it too much." Anneliese said.

"What are you talking about?" Arica asked.

"Well when I first met Robbie Ray, I was afraid to tell him that I was in love with him and so I kept it a secret until I couldn't take it any more and so I told him and it turned out better than I thought because I found out that he was also in love with me and now look at us we're married and have four beautiful kids together." Anneliese answered.

"Thanks, sis. That helps me feel a lot better." Arica replied as she gave her twin a hug.

"You're welcome, sis." Anneliese said as she hugged her twin back.

Later that night Anneliese was with Robbie Ray in their bed.

"So what did you and your sisters do at the mall today?" Robbie Ray asked.

"Just window shopping and Arica was talking about how Chad hasn't kissed her yet and she is wondering if he will ever kiss her." Anneliese answered.

"Did you tell her that he will probably kiss her when he's ready?" Robbie Ray asked.

"I didn't, but Lisa did. She is also afraid to tell him that he's in love with and and he told me that he's afraid to tell her that he's in love with her." Anneliese answered.

A few minutes later Robbie Ray leaned over and gave her a passionate kiss and then they fell asleep in each other's embrace.
