A Soft Place to Land

Flirting Lessons
by jastard
“It wasn’t a big deal or anything, if you’re worried about that. We were just kind of friend-kissing.” “Susie, I don’t know what friend-kissing is supposed to be,” Noelle said. “It’s like. You know,” Susie stumbled, “like if you need to figure out how to kiss or whatever and you got somebody to
