Helena's Wish
<>
**
Helena sits on the huge bed right next to Steven. She's smiling, feeling the soft bed with her hands.
"This place is wonderful, Steven!" she lets out. "Thank you!"
He blushes, looking away as her smile is too bright. "Helena," he says while looking at his trembling knees. He keeps them in place by pressing against them with his hands.
"Yeah?" she asks as she lies back down to try the bed.
"Have you ever kissed someone?"
"Yeah, I have. A lot of times!"
It alarms him and immediately asks, "Who?"
"My Mama and Papa."
"Oh. . .," he sighs in relief. "What I mean is, lips to lips."
"Oh, that kind of kiss. . ." She thinks about the times she saw her father and Nisha kissing sometimes. "Then I haven't."
"So. . . I was wondering. . ." He's fidgeting with his fingers, carefully keeping in mind the words he says. "Do you wanna try?"
