After several rounds of denial, and a few breaks to help customers,

Kate finally accepted the fact that Helen was still as pure as the

driven snow.

?Is he gay?? Kate asked. ?I mean, look at you, Len.?

?I haven?t asked, but I?m pretty sure he?s straight,? Helen replied,

and then she sighed. ?I honestly don?t know what?s going on.?

?No reason to rush, and don?t let anyone make you feel bad if you

want to wait, either. It?s more fun if you take your time, anyway,?

Kate said with a warm smile, changing the subject at the first sign

of Helen?s discomfort.

Although Kate seemed convinced that eventually she and Lucas

would go beyond virginal hand-holding, Helen suddenly wasn?t so

sure. The one time she had tried to kiss Lucas he had told her to go

to sleep. Despite what everyone was saying about them, the truth

was that she and Lucas were no more than friends. Lucas could

have anyone he wanted, and if Kate?s response was any indication,

that included women long out of high school.

Knowing that didn?t do anything to help Helen?s confidence. She

could tell that Lucas liked her?she?d caught him staring at her and

she?d heard his heart pound when she lay down next to him?but

for some reason Lucas didn?t seem to want to do anything about it.

Was that the way dating always was in the beginning, or was she

unintentionally doing something to push Lucas away? She?d never

had a boyfriend, and she honestly didn?t know what ?normal? was.

After work, she went home and forced herself to do all of her

school assignments before bed. By the time she switched out the

light it was well past two. Helen was beyond tired, but she still

couldn?t fall asleep. She felt like she was missing something, or

maybe misunderstanding something. Lucas obviously liked her
