Hey there, readers!
Let me just start off by saying that I was completely overwhelmed by the positive feedback I received on the first part of Mr. Lewis!! I genuinely worked hard on that story and to hear that so many people liked it was...I can't even describe....maybe "phenomenal" would be the correct word for it :-)
I didn't win the contest money, but I won something even better—support from all of you! Thanks again for the kind words and encouragement to continue!
Happy Reading!

Surprise!
"So you...did it?" Cori asked as we sat on the couch in my bedroom, looking at the blank television. I should've turned it on for background noise, but it was a little late for that. "You actually...you know? Had sex with Mr. Lewis...?"
"God, Cori. Don't tell me you didn't hear it. I'm sure I was loud enough," I grumbled, my cheeks heating in embarrassment. Christmas was days ago but I only just mustered enough courage to tell Cori I was no longer a virgin.
"I heard most of it, but it's different with you actually saying it. Wow," she looked at me, mystified.
"Oh, come on. You know how I feel about him."
"What are you gonna do about Dustin?"
"What do you mean?" I asked, thrown by her question.
"Geez, Dan, the kid is in love with you."
"No he's not," I scoffed.
"You're so naïve, Danica," Cori shook her head.
"So, what? You think I made a mistake by sleeping with Ryan?"
"Tell me what happened."
I sighed heavily before answering. "He put his penis into my vagina, and it hurt."
Cori laughed so hard she almost fell off the couch. As much as I didn't want to laugh, I found myself chuckling as well.
"It only hurt for a little while," I corrected.
"I was talking about
after
Dani. Did you guys talk at all?"
"He forced me into conversation after round three."
Her eyebrows shot skyward. "Round three and a conversation...plus a necklace? He's got it bad."
"I hope so," I sighed, folding my hands into my lap. "He told me he wants to maintain a relationship when I go back to California. He said when I disappeared, it was as if he missed his one and only chance with me and he didn't like the feeling."
Cori squealed and grabbed my hands, her fiery curls of bouncing up and down with her excitement. "How did that make you feel? Were you happy?"
"Of course I was. I still am. I just wish we didn't have to be a secret, you know? Every girl wants to show off their hot, older boyfriend, but I can't."
"Not yet, Dani; but maybe life will work itself out to where you can someday."
I shrugged. "Maybe. I just don't want us to fade into nothing because we won't be seeing each other often."
"Well, I'm sure he'll come and visit, Dani. From what you said, it seems like he really wants you two to work out."
I hoped Cori was right. I hoped so much that it hurt my heart.
"Tell me more about Ryan's sexual prowess," she said.
My head snapped up in time to catch Cori grinning wickedly. I shook my head. "Oh my God...don't make me regret telling you, Cor."
"What? Me?" she feigned an innocent look.
I sighed. "Well, he's too well-endowed for a teacher."
Cori's eyes grew in size as her mouth popped open.
"I know, right. Teachers aren't supposed to be...they're not supposed to have...you know! I don't really have a frame of reference, but it was good after the pain subsided. Maybe too good."
"Orgasm?"
My face heated even further. "Yeah," I said, my voice small.
"How many?"
"Geez, Cori. I'm not sure. Toward the end they started to blend together. One after another, after another," I shrugged.
"Don't be so casual about it! That doesn't happen to the general female population, Danica! Geez," Cori dropped my hands before crossing her arms, "my first time should've been with a teacher!"
"Cori!"
"God. My first time was awful," she continued as if my mouth wasn't hanging wide open in shock. "The idiot kept poking around because he couldn't find where to put it. By the time he did find it, I didn't want to do it anymore but he insisted. It was terrible."
"I'm sorry, Cor. Maybe you'll find someone better."
"Ah, whatever. So...would you do it again?"
I grinned. "Yeah, I—,"
"Cori, Danica!"
My eyes grew to the size of tennis balls as my heart tried to tattoo itself on my chest.
"What the fuck?" I nearly shouted as I jumped off the couch.
"Girls, you in here?"
"Um, yes. We're in here, Mrs. Matthews," Cori answered for me.
My bedroom door swung open, revealing my mother on the other side. Her travels darkened her skin, but otherwise she looked as she always did. Her hair was tucked neatly into place. Her makeup was without flaw; but there was something different in her face than the last time I saw her—she wore a smile. "We came home a bit early to surprise you girls! How about an impromptu trip to the Keys?"
"Mom, I have to leave for California in a couple of days," I said, finally getting my voice to work.
"Oh, we can talk about that later. Our flight leaves in a couple hours—come on, pack a carry on. We can get you new swimsuits and all that when we get there."
"Are you sure, Mrs. Matthews? I don't want to intrude," Cori said, trying to sound enthused as she peeked at me from the corner of her eye.
