Kiss, Kiss

After dinner, Jennifer puts Prissy to bed, and we all sit down in the den.

“So, what’s new with you two?” Jennifer asks. “Tell us everything!”

Miri gives me a hopeful smile.

Is she kidding me? Now? I shake my head. We can’t just tell them our secret on a whim. We need to think it through. Have a plan. Warn Mom.

“Not much,” I say in a rush. “Nothing important. We’re really busy at school.”

Jennifer raises a perfectly arched brow. “So busy that you didn’t bring your homework?”

“We forgot our homework,” I say. Which is a bit of a problem. I’m supposed to study the difference between im-parfait and passé composé for a French test on Monday morning, plus finish Animal Farm. How exactly am I going to do that? Maybe I should zap myself over to the library, or back to Paris for a tutor. And I still haven’t figured out how Miri and I are sneaking out for three hours tomorrow…. Wait a sec. Problem solved! I am a genius. “Dad, could you drop us off at the library tomorrow for a few hours? I bet they’d have some of our books.”

“Sure,” my dad says. “Good idea. In the afternoon?”

“Say from four to seven? After shopping, of course,” I add.

Miri smiles.

Dad nods. “The library is right near the restaurant we’re going to for dinner. We’ll pick you up when you’re ready and go straight over.”

“Great!” I say. No napping spell necessary. Although pretending to be at the library won’t exactly help me with my French conjugation or reading Animal Farm. One problem at a time, I suppose.

After lots of chitchatting about homework, the weather, and morning sickness (fun times), we’re off to bed. My ears are still ringing from the music, but I close my eyes, ready for sleep.

“I have a question for you,” Miri says.

“Am I tired? Why, yes, I am.”

She giggles. “Not the question. Will you tell me how to kiss?”

I sit up. Adorableness!

Her face flushes. “To be honest, even though I was mad you didn’t leave us alone tonight during the good-byes, I was also relieved. I don’t know what to do if he kisses me. How do I know what to do with my tongue?”

“Miri, Miri, Miri.” Adorable, adorable, adorable. “You’ll just know.”

“Do you open your mouth right away? Or wait?”

“Don’t open your mouth right away. If you attack him, you’re definitely going to lose kissing points.”

“What points? There are points?”

“I’m kidding. Don’t worry. It’ll come naturally.”

“But what if I naturally want to open my mouth right away?”

“Keep your mouth closed. But parted a little.” I separate my fingers a half inch. “That much.”

She nods, looking very serious. “What about the tongues? Do they really touch?”

“They really touch.”

“I think I’d be less nervous if I could practice.”

“Practice on your pillow.” I pick mine up. “Oh, Corey,” I say fake lustfully, then smother my face in it.

“Don’t kiss my boyfriend!” she says. “You already have two of your own!”

I pick up my pillow/fake boyfriend and (gently) hit her with it.
