"What would you like to do tonight?" he asked with a warm smile as they pulled out of the parking lot and headed for her house.

"Anything special in mind?" she asked, her eyes twinkling in amusement.

"Well, my parents are going to be gone most of the night, and there is a good movie coming on around nine on cable, so I thought you might want to come over and watch it instead of going to the drive-in."

"What's the movie about?" she asked, not really caring.

She almost laughed when he blushed and looked at her quickly, a sheepish look on his face. "I… I forget," he replied at last.

"Okay, that sounds good to me," she replied, laughing at last.

"I'll pick you up about seven, if that's all right with you," he said as he pulled up in front of her house.

"Fine," she told him, leaning over to kiss him quickly before getting out from the car and hurrying into the house.

No one was home and she hurried to start supper for her dad, knowing he would be through with work early that day, and he would be hungry. She loved fixing dinner for him. In fact, she admitted to herself, she loved doing everything for him. It had become such a normal and natural order of things that she really couldn't understand why he would want to go and change it all now by marrying Susan and having her and her two sons move in with them.

She did everything for him that her mother had done, except for sex, and she vowed to remedy that before too long. In fact, she had agreed to go over to Chris' house tonight to get started on her education in the ways of sex. She had something in mind for tonight, something which would definitely make Chris happy, and would teach her something as well.
