"That is IT! I am DONE! It is OVER!"
Stephane threw down her backpack and took Jon in her arms. "Congratulations, graduate," he said. "How was the last day of classes?"
"Boring! We didn't do anything all day. Nobody felt like working, and the teachers didn't even try. We just sat around gossiping the whole time. It was a waste."
"Yeah, I think that's the experience for every high school student," Jon said. "It was like that for me. I remember that a group of my friends had a band, and they set up their instruments in the gym. They played for hours, and nobody cared. It was better than going to class."
"I've been thinking about one thing all day," Stephanie said. "Now, I finally get to do it." She began unbuttoning Jon's shirt. "Take me to bed," she said.
Jon surprised her by picking her up in his arms and carrying her to his bedroom. She laughed when he threw her on the mattress. "Strip off those clothes, wench!" he said.
"Yes, Your Highness," she replied.
They proceeded to have one of the most energetic and joyful sessions of lovemaking since the beginning of their romance. They laughed and giggled as they moved from one position to another. Jon played heavy metal music on the stereo; it provided a contrast to the music and natural sounds they usually used as a background soundtrack for sex. Stephanie made the kind of faces she imagined that a girl would make at a heavy metal concert, although she had never actually been to one herself. The antics eventually stopped as they became increasingly aroused and needed to focus on satisfying each other. They moved faster, and harder, and Stephanie climaxed as Jon pounded into her like a jackhammer. He came less than a minute later, then fell on the bed beside her.
"I'm turning off this music," he said, reaching for the remote. "I've had as much head banging as I can take."
Stephanie wore a huge smile on her face, and it wasn't just because she'd had hot sex with the man she loved. Her life was about to change, and in a big way. Yes, she was thrilled to be finished with high school. She'd excelled as a student, but she was happy to be done, and she looked forward to what came next. But she had an even bigger reason to be happy. This was the day she'd chosen to reveal her secret to her mother. She would no longer have to keep their romance private.
They could go out on dates - actual dates - without worrying that someone might see them. She worried a bit that Denny's feelings might be hurt if he learned she was spotted with another man, but she'd been the best possible girlfriend to Denny for a long time, and it was time for that to end. Stephanie expected her mother would have a hard time accepting the fact that her little girl was involved with a real man, but it would not matter if she did. Stephanie was an adult, she had been an adult for a long time, and she would insist on being allowed to make decisions like an adult. If her mother objected, she'd just have to get over it.
"So tonight is when your mother finds out?" Jon said.
"Yep. Yep yep yep. If you hear an explosion, that's probably Mama." They both laughed. Jon was thrilled by the prospect of loving Stephanie openly. He had a long list of places he wanted to take her and things he wanted them to do. For months, he'd wished that she could spend an entire night with him. That was something they agreed would happen soon. They also had to arrange a time for Jon to meet her mother. The prospect made him nervous, but he felt sure it would go well.
When it was time for Stephanie to leave, she walked home and went straight to the kitchen. She planned to surprise her mother with a home cooked meal. Stephanie did a particularly fine job preparing lasagna using her grandmother's recipe. That dish never failed to put a smile on her mother's face. It seemed like a good way to prepare the unsuspecting woman for Stephanie's Big News.
The smell of hot lasagna was powerful when Stephanie's mother got home. "You cooked? For me?" her mother Regina said.
"I thought it was a good way to celebrate," Stephanie said.
"It's a very nice surprise, dear. Thank you."
Stephanie set the table and served up plates of food, then poured her mother a big glass of red wine. The wine's pleasant aroma tantalized Stephanie's nose, and she wanted a glass for herself. But Regina had no idea that Stephanie had been drinking modest amounts of alcohol for months now, and it seemed like a bad time to add that news to the list of things she was about to learn about her Precious Little Girl. Stephanie poured herself a glass of ice water.
"How was school?" Regina asked.
"Terrible. Awful. The worst ever. Eight hours of torture. Otherwise, it was fine," Stephanie said. Regina laughed. She could see that her daughter was as happy as she'd ever been. Regina was glad that Stephanie had avoided making all the mistakes Regina made as a teenager, when she fell in love with a jerk, got pregnant, and had to drop out of school. She'd feared the same would happen to her daughter, but Stephanie had been a strikingly successful student, and now she had a full-ride scholarship to play soccer at UCLA. Regina's dreams for her daughter were all coming true.
They had pleasant conversation as the meal progressed. The wine helped Regina relax and enjoy this wonderful moment with her wonderful daughter. She was immensely proud. For years, she'd lived in fear that something awful might happen. She'd been very nervous when Stephanie began dating Denny, fearing the handsome young man only wanted Stephanie for sex. He was so polite and seemed so naive that Regina agreed to let him take her to the prom, and then go on other dates afterward. She'd tried to teach Stephanie to be responsible, and she was.
Regina was about to learn Denny wasn't the main man in Stephanie's life.
"Mama, I want to have a discussion with you about something," she said when dinner was over. "Give me a minute to clear the table so we can sit down and talk."
Regina had absolutely no idea what Stephanie wanted to discuss. Maybe it involved going to college in the fall. Maybe it had something to do with her plans for the summer. Maybe she wanted to buy a car. Who knows? She wasn't particularly worried.
"Mama, I want you to feel good about what happened today," Stephanie said. "As I grew up, I could tell how much you wanted me to finish high school, and that's what I've done. You let me know how concerned you were that I might make some of the same mistakes you made when you were a teenager, and you helped me avoid those mistakes. You've been the best mother a girl could have, and I'm grateful."
Regina was a smart woman. She realized Stephanie was paying her compliments because she was about to deliver some questionable news. "Thank you, dear. I appreciate that," Regina said.
"I guess what I'm saying is that for my whole life, you've worked hard to make sure I reached adulthood as a strong, healthy, prosperous woman. I want you to feel like your task is complete. You've succeeded, Mama. I am an adult, and I have been for a while. I want you to feel like you can relax and let me be responsible for my own life."
