A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"I'm sorry. I'm afraid of the dark." Beryl struggled to get up and was full of apologies as she continued, "Dylan, did I hurt you anywhere?"

"No, no, it's okay," he answered quickly. He pushed himself to his feet, flushed with embarrassment. He noticed that she did not seem to register anything wrong with the situation. Beryl did not appear at all disturbed by the unseemly moment. It was as if nothing had happened.

Though still young, Dylan knew clearly what "inappropriate for children" meant, so naturally he knew what a first kiss was and what it meant to people as well.

He felt a great sense of disappointment upon seeing that she did not find anything wrong with the kiss. However, he considered it lucky that his mother knew nothing about the kiss. Otherwise, he would surely receive a severe beating...

"Beryl, let's keep this a secret. What happened just now didn't happen, okay? Do not let anyone else know about it, especially my mother, okay?"

"Secret? What secret are you talking about?" she asked.

"I meant that...just now... I kissed you... No, wait! You kissed me... No! Ehmm..." Still flustered he had managed to even confuse himself. Finally, he blurted it out, "I meant the secret was that we kissed by accident just now!"

"Oh, like this, right?" she said innocently. Blinking her big eyes, she stood up on tippy toes and kissed him quite deliberately on the cheek, to show that she knew what he was referring to.

He stared at her in disbelief. His face flushed like a ripe tomato, " You...kissed me, again!"! !

"Is there something wrong with that?" She seemed confused too and tried her best to explain, "Mommy once told me that only people in an intimate relationship can kiss each other..."

"No, you are a girl. You can not kiss others so casually like this." Struggling to remain calm he fought to keep a straight face like a grown-up, as he continued sternly, "Have you ever kissed any other boys, except me?"

She shook her head slowly, "No."

The sudden happiness he felt was confusing, yet it also filled him with pleasure. 'She kissed only one boy, and that's me!' he thought, inexplicably happy.

"Anyway, you can't kiss others so casually in the future," he cautioned.
