I loved the way this place was decorated. The clean, bright white walls. Varied art pieces. And the bright green carpeting that cushioned my feet.

The only reason we came here is because my grandma works in the kitchen. Her cooking was my favorite.

I was almost to the bathrooms when someone came up behind me, covered my eyes and mouth and pulled me into what smelled like a cleaning closet.

Struggling against the strong arms, they put their mouth to my ear whispering. “Shh, Miranda. It’s me. Henry.”

I stopped fighting, and he moved his hands from my face. Turning around I looked at him in the dimly lit room.

“Sorry.” He smiled. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“What did you mean to do?” I tilted my head and smiled back at him. His thick, curly hair was in disarray.

“This.” He leaned in and brushed his lips against mine. His arms wrapped around me, pulling me closer.

My head swooned, and I wrapped my arms around him, letting him kiss me.

His tongue made its way through my lips, teasing mine in a strange game of tag. And I really liked it.

My chest swelled as I tried to control my breathing and I felt something hard pressing against me. Moving my hand down between us, I brushed against his erection, making him jump.

“Oh!” I jumped back in shock.

His cheeks darkened, and he let out an awkward laugh. “It’s okay.”

“Henry!” a woman’s voice called from the other side of the door.

“Ugh.” He groaned and shook his head. “That’s my mom. I need to go before she sends out a search party.”

“It’s okay.” I brushed some stray hair behind my ear.

He stepped closer and brushed his lips across mine again. “See you tomorrow?”

I nodded and leaned in to kiss him. The moment our lips touched again, his mom called out for him again.

The door rattled, and he pushed me out of sight as he opened it. “What?”

“What are you doing?” Her voice made me shiver.

“I just wanted a few moments to myself.” He shrugged.

“Fine.” She huffed. “I don’t believe you, but I will not argue with you here. Let’s go. I want to get home before your father drinks himself into a coma.”

His shoulders dropped, and he slipped out of the door, keeping me hidden from her eyes.

I covered my lips with my fingers, trying to capture the feeling of his lips on mine.

Oh, my god! I can’t wait to tell Tara and Jeremy!

Counting to one hundred, I hoped that would allow Henry and his mom to be far from this area so I could sneak out and make it to the bathroom.

I opened the door, slowly peeking out the crack. When I saw the coast was clear, I left the closet and made my way to the bathroom, washed my hands and went back to the table.

Henry and his family had left.

I can’t wait to see him tomorrow!

We ordered food and sat talking until Grandma brought it out to see us.
