After the movie, Nick walked Leslie back to the car. To both their recollections, it was Nick's dad's car. And while that might be right, Leslie didn't think that it was also her car. When they had walked into the movie, Nick was a 5-year-old boy and Leslie's son. Leslie herself was a much older woman. But now there were both 18 year olds and one of the most popular couples in their senior class.
"Thanks for taking me to see that movie," said Leslie.
"It was my pleasure," said Nick. Soon they got in and were driving to Leslie's house. "Your parents are out of town, aren't they?" he asked.
"Yeah, they're on vacation," said Leslie, "Some big bicycling trip. It just leaves me alone at home until then."
“So we could have the night to ourselves?” asked Nick in an interested tone.
Leslie flushed and said, “Nick, I’m not so sure about going too far.”
“We’ll only go as far as we’re comfortable with,” Nick promised.

While the two of them were one of the most popular couples in their class, they were still teenagers, unsure and lacking confidence. The fact that they were able to make out in their underwear was a considerable effort for them. Not they didn’t find the other unattractive. Nick was on the basketball team and had plenty of lean muscles. Leslie had a lithe body, but it suggested she had one last spurt of growth left before it was fully finished developing.
As Nick’s hands drifted lower, Leslie suddenly pulled back. “Nick, sorry, I’m just not ready yet,” she said, suddenly covering up her chest.
“Er, you sure?” asked Nick, though not looking certain himself.
“It’s just…it doesn’t feel like the right night, the right occasion,” said Leslie.
“Ok, er, I already told my dad I’d be gone for the night. Mind if I crash here?” asked Nick.
“I suppose,” said Leslie.
“You want me to use your parents’ bed?” asked Nick.
“I suppose you can sleep with me,” said Leslie, “Just don’t…get too touchy.”
“Ok, I promise,” said Nick. The couple had a strong attraction to each other, but they were a little too young to go further than they have so far.
