Say Yes, Senator

I remember you being pretty good. Why didn’t you?

Because I quickly lost my interest in basketball when I discovered something called ‘dating’.

The smile on my face led to a rambunctious laughter.

That and I loved politics more than sports he texted a few seconds later.

So… About dating… When did you get your first girlfriend?

At seventeen.

I gasped. Shut up! At seventeen? Just then? But how? I know you were gorgeous way before then.

Why, thank you. You’re making me blush.

Are you even capable of blushing?

I was when I asked my first girlfriend out for a date. Anyway, I was too busy with studying and extracurriculars, so I could get into a good college to go to parties and meet girls. But then, as I said, I finally learned about dating, ha-ha, and everything changed since then.

And then you became a heartbreaker. I remember that pretty well.

You watched me.

You were my big brother’s hot friend. Of course I did. I was in middle school, not blind.

How about you? I bet boys chased you even in elementary school.

Actually, I got my first ‘boyfriend’ in the kindergarten.

No shit.

Unbelievable, right? One day we decided it would be a good idea to press our lips together, and after that he told me I was his girlfriend. I agreed without even knowing what the word girlfriend meant. We spent the next two days holding each other’s hands and hugging.

Now it’s my cue to say that’s so cute.

Yeah, it was. Until our mothers found out and freaked out about it.

Damn.

I remember even now my mom’s tirade. She told me I was too young for dating and that she wouldn’t let me date until I was at least 18 years old.

And did you listen to her? Did you wait until you were 18? Carter and I were in law school by then.

What do you think? I used to go to my friends’ places to meet with guys since I was 14.

Wow. You’ve been such a naughty girl even then.

My cheeks colored with an intense blush, and I thought about the moments we shared the last time we were at his place.

As naughty as you are.

You know it.

So, I assume that you had your first kiss with your first girlfriend?

Nope. That happened in seventh grade.

Oh yeah? How?
