Stay and chat for a minute (or more)

Rachel resisted the urge to turn and keep walking. She wasn't very much of a people person but she knew that she needed to talk to some people in her life. Besides, Mrs. Tiller was always kind. If Rachel ever did anything wrong, she was certain that Mrs. Tiller would forgive her for it.

"Hi, Mrs. Tiller."

Rachel wasn't sure what to say to someone who barely had any clothes on, if you could even call it that. But the woman didn't notice her flustered expression as she gave a warm smile.

"Please," Mrs. Tiller started. "You don't have to call me that if your mother isn't around. I know how she can be about politeness. You can just call me Jenna when it's just us."

She reached out and put her hand on Rachel's shoulder, giving a knowing smirk. "So, I heard someone turned eighteen recently."

Rachel wasn't sure how she knew since the topic of birthdays wasn't brought up at the dinner. But she decided to drop it and just keep the conversation going. Hopefully, quickly. "That's right, M... I mean, Jenna... I turned eighteen two days ago."

Rachel decided not to tell her about the birthday party. She didn't want this woman barging in and being all flirty with her the entire night. But Jenna just caressed Rachel's shoulder tenderly.

"That's amazing. But, you know... there's a certain milestone that comes with turning eighteen... unless you've already achieved it."

Rachel knew what she was referring to and hadn't actually... "achieved it". And since Mrs. Tiller was bringing it up, she knew that it was probably about to get very awkward.

"Yes, ma'am, I know about it... and no, I haven't... done that."

The older woman looked like she struck gold as she smiled. Her hand moved from Rachel's shoulder to her cheek, caressing her face gently and looking into her eyes. "Don't worry, dear. You only just turned eighteen. There's plenty of time for someone to win that honor. But you never know. The person who will have your first time might be closer than you think."

Once Rachel felt the thumb brushing against her cheek, she knew that she'd had enough. She needed to go. She reached up and gently pulled Jenna's hand away as she backed up.

"Sorry, J-jenna... I gotta get going to school. M-maybe we can talk some other time?"

Jenna smiled at the young girl, nodding. "I'd like that. Visit any time you like." Her hand lingered in Rachel's a second longer than it should have before she turned and walked back towards her house, her hips swaying seductively the entire way back.

Rachel watched a little longer than she intended to before she turned and continued to school. This was going to be a long day.
