We made it home on time. Mom and Dad were in bed, but their light was on. I made sure they knew we were home, and Janie texted her mom.

We made it to my bedroom, pulling the door closed. Janie hopped on my bed, then slithered back until she was leaning against the wall, adjusting the pillows. I leaned against the door, watching her. “Movie?” She prompted.

“Sure.”

We cuddled together, Janie’s head on my shoulder for part of it, and then her head in my lap. I stroked her hair, and then I realized I was watching her, not the movie. But that was okay. She had her eyes closed.

I leaned down and kissed her head. “Falling asleep?”

“No. Just really, really happy.”

“Me, too,” I admitted.

“We were good tonight,” she said.

“It was all you.”

“It was us, together,” she said. She tipped her head and opened her eyes, looking up at me. “Did you have fun?”

“Maybe the best night of my life.”

She smiled broadly. “Does that mean you want to do it again?”

“Oh, yeah,” I said.

She nodded. “Good.” She tipped her head back, closing her eyes. Then she reached out and closed my laptop, shutting down the movie.

We didn’t talk for a while. I continued to stroke her hair. She kind of hugged my leg. My thoughts were a jumble. I tried a few times to pull them together, but I couldn’t.

Eventually Janie said, her voice a whisper, “I’ve thought about this a long time.”

“Your head in my lap?”

“Yeah,” she said.

“Seriously?”

“Yeah,” she repeated. “Almost exactly like this.”

“Almost exactly?” She giggled. I joined her. “In your thoughts, are we wearing less clothing?”

“We’re not naked,” she replied. “Yeah.” The last word came out a little sheepishly.

I thought about it, then, somewhat tentatively, I said, “You’re in charge of that part of our relationship.”

She hugged a little more tightly for a moment. “Next time,” she whispered. She turned her head. “Did you just offer what I think you offered?”

“To let you pull some clothing from both of us?” I prompted. “Yes.”

“I will,” she said. “Next time.”

“Next time,” I agreed. But I looked down at her, entirely overwhelmed.

I wasn’t sure, but I began to wonder if this was what love felt like.
