“I wasn’t complaining,” she giggles. “Sexual bucket list check off, I guess.”
I chuckle.
Suddenly, she’s perfect in every way.
“Yeah, I guess.”
There’s a strange sound, and the power comes back on. I realize that we’re right in front of the windows of her store, and anyone walking by can see everything. I instantly grab her clothes and hand them to her as I quickly get dressed, too.
Great, I lost my virginity… and possibly to an audience.

SERENA
Everything feels different.
Logan gave me his virginity.
I was the first woman he ever slept with.
But damn, if he hadn’t told me that, I never would have known it. He knew exactly what he was doing.
I didn’t get much sleep last night because I couldn’t think of anything but Logan.
I need more of him.
The power has been restored, and the power company never stated there was an outage.
I half hoped to have a good morning or something from Logan, but there’s nothing.
My phone rings, and I jump, looking down to see Lila’s face flash across the screen.
“Girl, why couldn’t I get a hold of you last night?”
“My phone died while I was at the shop, and then the power went out, soooooo…”
“You’re the only person I know who forgets to charge their phone.”
“It’s more of a paperweight than anything.” I laugh. “I do all of my work on the tablet, and the phone is really just for you and my sister to call me.”
“How are things going with the hottie next door?”
“Ummm,” I hesitate.
“Oh my God,” she breathes. “You slept with him?”
“How did you get that from that?” I giggle.
“Because I know you, Serena. You don’t hesitate unless there’s a reason. Spill it now.”
“The power went out, and he came to check on me. It just kind of happened.”
“So you tripped on some boxes and fell on his dick? Is that how it just kind of happened?”
“No,” I laugh. “There was so much tension between us after he kissed me and…we took care of that.”
“And you’re going to see him again, I hope.”
