Felicity had been looking forward to her rendezvous with Brent all day, but now the prospect of seeing him filled her with dread. By the time he texted that he was coming up the tree, she was so nervous she felt sick; the spaghetti she’d eaten for dinner seemed to be braiding itself around her organs. She had worked out what she would say to him, but she wasn’t sure she could successfully force the words out of her mouth. For a moment, she considered telling him she couldn’t hang out after all. But this conversation would have to happen eventually, or there would be unspeakable consequences. If Brent found out Felicity was a strawbie, he’d probably break up with her, and she’d lose him forever. This way, she’d only have to give him up for one night.

She texted back and told him to come up.

A few minutes later, Brent slid through the window. He paused just long enough to say hello before he swept Felicity up in his arms like a Disney prince rescuing a damsel in distress. Then his mouth was on hers, urgent and thrilling, and everything ceased to exist except for his tongue and his wintergreen breath and his strong hands running up her back. The speech she had so carefully prepared flew from her mind like a pigeon in the path of a rampaging toddler.

After a few blissful minutes, they fumbled toward the bed, struggling out of their shirts on the way, and fell into each other’s arms on top of the covers. Felicity’s heart was beating so quickly it felt like a continuous hum in her chest. She pressed against Brent, wishing they could melt together. Even with no space between them, he didn’t feel close enough.

Just then, Felicity heard her brothers race down the hall, screaming something about a plane crash. She froze with her mouth an inch from Brent’s and waited for them to move on. “Can we keep going?” Brent whispered against her lips.

“Hang on a second,” she whispered back. “I don’t want my brothers to come in here.”

“No, I mean, can we keep going.” Brent pressed his hips against hers for clarification.

Felicity’s entire body was begging, Yes, yes, yes, just do it already! But the screaming and banging outside the door made her reluctant to plunge into uncharted waters. She wanted her first time to be slow and tender and romantic, not a quick, illicit whirlwind punctuated by seven-year-old voices.

“Babe, we can’t do it with them in the hall,” she whispered. “My door doesn’t even lock, and I’d get in so much trouble if anyone found out you were here.”

Brent gave a low moan that was one part frustration and one part assent. He kissed slowly up Felicity’s neck, and when he reached her ear, he whispered, “Maybe we could do it on prom night. We could get a hotel room, if you wanted. It would be really romantic.”

When Felicity heard the words “prom night,” her entire body shut down. She tried to roll away from Brent, but he grabbed her shoulder and gently turned her toward him.
