“You’ll have to redo your lipstick now, so will I!” Sally said, chuckling.
Kayla sat there.
“Oh shit, what’s up now?” Sally asked.
“Nothing. That was nice.”
“Yeah? Don’t tell me that if I’d have done this a few months ago, you’d have stayed as Kyle?”
Kayla shook her head and laughed, much to Sally’s relief.
“That was my first kiss.”
“It doesn’t mean we’re engaged. Besides, Rob called me this afternoon.”
“Rob? What, not Pete’s cousin?”
“Yeah, it seems we’re on a double date.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?” said Kayla, quite cross now.
“Because I had to know you were prepared to go out. You are, so I’m happy.”
Kayla smiled, repairing her smudged lipstick.
“I feel a whole lot better now,” she said.
“Good, but don’t rely on me too much, I have my own plans!”
“Sally!”
The doorbell rang, interrupting their conversation.
They heard Ingrid answer the door and let the two boys into the house. Sally hugged Kayla for luck and they both went down to meet them.
Both boys were looking clean and smart. Casually dressed but looking good nonetheless.
“Hi girls, looking good, Sally!” said Rob.
“Hi,” said Pete, unable to take his eyes off Kayla.
“Hej då!” Kayla said. (= Hi or hello then. Pronounced ‘Hey doh’)
“Now you be good, and have fun!” said Ingrid shooing them out of the house.
“Whose car shall we take, Sal?” Pete asked.
“Are you planning to drink?”
“Maybe, but I won’t if I’m driving.”
“Well, I’m not drinking, so I’ll drive,” said Sally, opening her car.
Pete grinned, immediately slipping into the back seat with Kayla. He placed his arm around her shoulders, allowing her to snuggle close to him. She found she liked feeling this close to him. Strange butterflies started fluttering in her stomach.
Sally drove into Oxford, parking at a central car park as opposed to taking the park and ride. As it was a Saturday, there wasn’t quite the same traffic as weekdays.
“Okay, film first or food?” Pete asked. It was about six pm.
“Film, then we can talk about it during the meal,” suggested Sally.
They went to see Minority Report, starring Tom Cruise. Pete snaked his arm over Kayla’s shoulders, and mercifully left it there, never trying to fondle her.
However, halfway through, Sally, who was next to Kayla, was oblivious to the world, as she and Rob indulged in some heavy kissing. Pete glanced at Kayla nervously, unsure whether to follow suit.
Kayla was in two minds. Firstly, she was terrified of Pete discovering her secret, but she was as afraid of losing him by not reacting as she wanted to. She was about to say something when he made the decision for her.
She turned towards him, as he kissed her very gently on the lips. His arm that lay behind her head, cradled her, so she returned the kiss as Sally had demonstrated. His tongue gently probed her mouth; as if afraid she would take offence. She opened her mouth and touched his tongue with hers. The kiss went on and on. She felt a warm glow start to spread outwards from deep within her. She reached over with her arm to wrap it round his head. She felt his hand on her breast, but didn’t care.
Alarm bells rang, so without stopping the kiss, she disengaged her hand and removed his hand from her breast. He simply held her shoulder instead and she felt happier.
Kayla lost herself in the kiss. It was if the world stopped and she was alone with this boy. Her soul soared with the eagles and she never wanted this moment to end. Dimly she was aware that if she felt like this with a kiss, then what must sex be like?
That was like a splash of icy water, and it made her break off the kiss. She remembered that she wasn’t complete, yet!
She sat back in her seat, slightly breathless, with her pulse rate quickening.
“Are you okay?” Pete whispered.
She nodded, allowing him to cuddle her. She watched the film without seeing it, unaware that Pete was confused next to her. He was unsure of the messages she was sending. At first, it seemed a green light, and then, with no good reason, a red light came on. He’d been surprised at the level of passion she had returned in the kiss, but was also surprised at the abrupt stop.
He was cautious, unsure how best to proceed. She rang all his bells in ways he’d never experienced before. His erection was threatening to explode, so he was feeling very uncomfortable.
“Have I upset you?” he asked.
She was a little surprised at the question, but it then dawned on her that he might be a little confused.
“Nej, I mean no. It is not you, it is me. I’m sorry.”
He smiled in the darkness, a small uncertain smile. She immediately felt sorry for him. She stroked his cheek and he leaned towards her.
“Kiss me?” she asked, and he needed no second bidding. This time the kiss was not as wild. It was slow and controlled. They gently explored each other with their tongues and she stroked his face again. Pete started to squirm, as his erection made itself known to him.
This time he broke off, leaving her confused.
He grinned.
“Sorry, but I need to cool off!” he said, getting up and leaving her. He went out into the brighter lit corridor and made for the toilets. He shut himself in a cubicle, and sat down, allowing himself to relax. Kayla sent him wild. Never before had he felt so much desire for a girl. He ached for her, finding it hard to control himself with her. Her touch, her smell, her very presence was enough to arouse him.
He left the toilets, bought a large cola and a tub of popcorn, returning to his seat.
“Sorry, but you drove me wild!” he whispered, and she smiled at him.
“Drink?” he asked, passing the cola to her.
She sipped some through the straw and handed it back to him.
He put his arm over her shoulders once more, so she snuggled in close to him. They sat like that for the rest of the film, passing the popcorn along to Rob and Sally.
The film ended and they left with everyone else. Kayla and Sally went to the ladies as they passed it on the way out. After having a pee, they each repaired their makeup.
“Okay?” Sally asked.
“Yup, you?”
“Oh yes. He’s a smashing kisser is Rob.”
“I wouldn’t know,” Kayla said with a smile.
“You weren’t doing too bad. Why did Pete leave?”
Kayla shrugged.
“I don’t know.”
“Aha, the dreaded one eyed trouser snake!”
“What?”
“Duh, come on Kayla, you know?”
“Oh! Really?”
Some other women came in, so they left, with Sally chuckling like mad.
Meanwhile the boys were waiting in the foyer.
“Hey man, Sally’s hot!” Rob said with a grin.
“She’s a nice girl, is Sally.”
“How’re you getting on? I saw you two guys make out, but you stopped, what happened?”
“I happened. Shit Rob, she is so hot! I have never felt like this before. If those seats were beds, I’d have been unstoppable!”
“Cool it, here they come.”
They watched as the girls approached, Pete locked eyes with Kayla, relaxing as she smiled at him. She had a wonderful smile and those eyes!
He draped his arm possessively over her shoulders, as Rob asked where they were going to eat. They ended up in a Thai restaurant, ordering a host of unfamiliar dishes.
Kayla relaxed and managed to feel comfortable with herself for the first time. The conversation started on the film, which none of them saw all the way through, and moved on rapidly to America and then to Sweden.
The boys were drinking beer and, after their fourth or fifth, the girls realised that they were passed their best. They paid for the meal, and walked back to the car.
Kayla and Pete snuggled together in the back seats, but Kayla felt slightly nervous, as Pete wanted to resume kissing as soon as they set off. She allowed him to kiss her, returning it, but his hands started wandering, one of them up her skirt.
