"A forehead kiss? I LOVE a good forehead kiss!" Anna wrapped her hands around a mug, sighed, and leaned back in her chair.

I took in a deep breath and watched my friends swoon. They had insisted we meet at Anna's work the next morning for coffee and date dishing. As fun as it was to have them giggle excitedly at my date retelling, there was something I couldn't get over, something itching at the back of my mind. While the forehead kiss had been amazing in the moment and had left me swooning, it hadn't taken me five minutes to stop appreciating his "taking it slow" and start over analyzing it, worrying that there was more behind it.

I smiled, weakly. "Okay, yes, it was super sweet, but..." I looked at them seriously. Rainy rolled her eyes, already knowing my problem with the terribly-sweet-forehead-kiss. "Do you think it's possible that he didn't kiss me on the mouth because he's grossed out by me?"

Anna's face scrunched up and her head shot back. Lizzy's mouth parted and her eyebrows knit together.

"What?" they said at the same time, with the same amount of you're-completely-crazy lacing the word.

Rainy held out her hands and looked at me poignantly. "See?" she said. "It's not even a possibility."

I pinched my mouth to one side. "Buuuuuut. He's seen me with a bunch of stuff stuck in my teeth and he didn't kiss me. I think there may be some part of him that didn't because I freak the neat freak part of him out a little."

Anna shook her head. "Neat freak doesn't mean that he's a germaphobe." She narrowed her eyes as she looked at me. "I don't know anyone who thinks kissing is anything but wonderful."

Lizzy looked up and shrugged. "Yeah, Sunny. It really just sounds like he saw that you were nervous and decided not to push you too fast. Heck, maybe he was even a little nervous, too."

Rainy smacked her hands together and nodded. "Thank you." She focused on me. "It was nothing."

"But sweet," Anna added.

"It was nothing, but sweet," Rainy amended.

I took a sip of my coffee and then pressed my lips together as I thought. Okay, they might be right, but the pit in my stomach told me there was something bigger going on here. Based on their feedback, though, maybe that something had to do with me, not Brian. My next question came out quiet, on wobbly legs and deep-down-doubts. "Okay, so maybe he will kiss me at some point, but what do I do when he wants to do more?"

The girls tipped their heads to the side and my eyes flicked to the floor. Sure, I'd watched movies, but Hollywood isn't necessarily a great how-to example of here's-what-it's-like-in-the-real-world. My mother was mostly nonexistent in my formative years and Marie, my nanny, was gone before I really started noticing boys.

Anna narrowed her eyes at me as if focusing to see me better. "I mean, do you know how it works? 'Cause I have some bananas on the counter over there and we could --"

My hands shot up and I waved them around.
