When I woke up the next day, still naked, limbs tangled up with Reagan’s, I couldn’t help but wonder how things would be between us in the light of day. Aside from our brief conversation, the night had been spent doing anything but talking. It all seemed so surreal that I wasn’t sure if I would wake to find it was all a dream. Our naked bodies vetoed that possibility, but we still hadn’t talked about what all of this meant. I wasn’t looking for some elaborate promise of being together forever, but I was hoping for some assurance that she also wanted this to continue as badly as I did.

I received that assurance when Reagan woke up and immediately placed a gentle kiss on my lips. She sighed as she reached over and intertwined her fingers with mine. “You don’t know how happy I am that last night wasn’t just some very elaborate wet dream.”

“What are we doing, Reagan?” The words were out before I had the chance to stop them, and I hated myself for even asking. Way to play it cool, Charlie.

“Beats me,” she chortled. “All I know is I like it and don’t want it to stop.”

I couldn’t stop the smile that took over my face as I leaned in to kiss her again. It was the same smile that returned multiple times throughout the day. At breakfast when Reagan subtly played footsie with me underneath the table. Later in the afternoon when she looked up from the computer she was diligently working on to share a secret smile with me from across the room. After family dinner when she volunteered to do the dishes with me and brushed her hand with mine everytime she passed me a plate. And finally, when she crawled out onto the roof next to me after everyone had gone to bed.

“Hi,” she breathed, taking my hand and placing it on her lap.

“Hi to you,” I flirtatiously returned, before leaning in to kiss her. It was meant to be a light kiss, but as soon as my lips touched hers, I was drawn right back in. Quiet moans escaped each of us as our tongues met again.

After what could have been seconds or hours, we pulled away from each other to catch our breath. Reagan stared dreamily at the stars, before letting her eyes drift across my backyard. “Any interest in sneaking out and going for a walk?” There was something about the tone of her voice that told me she was up to no good, but I was too intrigued to say no.

Less than five minutes later, we were quietly shutting the backdoor behind us as we walked outside. It was an unseasonably warm night, even for the end of June and I felt sweat pooling on my back. I tried to ignore it as I followed Reagan, who seemed to have already chosen the path she wanted to walk. When we were far enough away from the house, I slid my hand into hers, trying not to get caught up in how effortless it all was.
