My Best Friend

Teaching Tommy Love

Thomas watched Mindy as she snuggled beneath her blankets as she drifted off to sleep. He still felt his lips tingling from that kiss they had before. Like Mama said, he was in love. He was just sad he wasn't able to tell Mindy he loved her. Kissing her meant nothing seeing as how they always kissed.

"Tommy."

Thomas turned to see Charlie watching him with a beer bottle in his hand.

"Spying on that little girl?" he asked.

Thomas looked down unable to answer. Was he going to get in trouble for it? He couldn't help it if he wanted to watch Mindy sleep.

"Come downstairs with me, Tommy", Charlie said. "You and me's gotta have a little talk."

They went downstairs to the living room area where Charlie sat down and picked up a magazine.

"You're a man now, Tommy", he started. "I've seen the way ya look at that girl. You want her, don't ya?"

Thomas nodded.

"Ya wanna make love to her?"

He looked at him confused. What was making love? Thomas wanted to let Mindy know he loved her. Would making love be his answer? Would she know how he felt if he made love to her?

"Answer me, boy!" Charlie said. "Do ya wanna make that girl yours?"

Thomas nodded without a second thought. Charlie smile as he make him sit down.

"Good. I'm gonna teach ya how to get her to want ya."

---------------------------------------------

Thomas' knees wobbled as he went up the stairs. The pictures and stuff Charlie told him were going to be with him for life. He was never going to forget what he saw and heard. He would never look at Mindy the same way again. Thomas stopped outside Mindy's room to find her asleep. The blankets were tangled around her legs and her hair was tangled around her face.

"Tommy", Mindy mumbled.

Thomas froze. Was she waking up? Did she see him spying on her? Mindy yawned as she turned on her side to face the wall. Thomas sighed. She was still asleep. He walked into her room and sat on the edge of the bed. He pulled the blankets to get them untangled from her legs. He stopped when he felt how soft and smooth Mindy's legs felt.

"Remember, Tommy. Girls like it when you touch them first."

Thomas grew nervous as he looked down at his hand on Mindy's leg. He wanted her to like him, no he wanted her to love him. He ran his hand up Mindy's leg, up to the edge of her nightgown.

"Mmm", Mindy mumbled. "Who's there?"

She turned around to see Thomas sitting next to her and touching her.

"Tommy, what are you doing? Shouldn't you be asleep?"

Thomas didn't do anything. Mindy frowned as she sat up.

"Can't sleep?" she asked.

He shook his head.

"What's wrong? What's on your mind?"

Thomas pointed at her. Mindy understood and smiled.

"You were thinking about me?"

He nodded. He took her hand and let it rest on his chest. Thomas leaned in and kissed her. Mindy closed her eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her as he laid her down with him on top of her.

"What are you doing?" Mindy asked.
