his teeth, and she opened her mouth slowly while he gently explored her mouth with his tongue. Tessa smoothly pulled away and he let her down.
Luke took her hand and they walked off the field. Alex looked angry and stood as they walked towards Jade and Tommy who smiled.
Maggie stood with the kids, clearly annoyed, she turned and said something to Alex and stormed towards Tessa, “What are you thinking young lady, that is not the way I raised you!” she yelled.
Luke started to pull away and Tessa pulled him closer. “That’s right Mom, it wasn’t,” she said as she walked by, her mother grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
“ Tessa Ross don’t you walk away from me!” she snapped.
“ I may not have been raised to kiss a boy in public, but it was only to prove a point to some stupid girl Mom!” she yelled tearing up. “But as far as how I was raised,” she continued to yell, “Actions speak louder than words, and YOU taught me how to walk away!” she turned to Luke who stood looking down, and grabbed his hand walking away.
Maggie stood speechless and Alex walked up and hugged her, “None of us like this Mom, but you’re going to need to give Tessa time, she is hurting pretty bad.” He walked her and the kids to the car.
Jade ran towards Tessa and hugged her, Tessa smiled reassuringly, “I am fine.”
“ We are going to shower; will you be here when we get done?” Tommy asked Jade.
“ Yes” she said, “We will.”
The boys f ollowed the rest of the team in and Tessa saw Kendall and Jake crying as they walked to the car. Luke stopped and looked at Tessa as she ran up to the kids and hugged them, “Don’t cry,” she said as she kissed their heads, “I am ok, you’re both ok, and Alex kicked butt today,” she said grinning at them, “have fun with Mom tonight I will see you all in the morning!”
“ For your birthday,” Alex said.
“ Oh yes and I want chocolate cake, got it” she stood up and looked at her mom, “See ya Mom.”
“ Have fun tonight Tessa, I love you,” Maggie said.
She was going to walk away and she saw them watching her, “Love you too,” she said and walked away.

Tommy and Luke walked out. Jade smiled at Tommy and he picked her up and twirled her around.
Luke walked up to Tessa, “You okay?”
She looked down, “I’m fine,” she said and the butterflies began dancing in her belly, “Sorry about all that it’s just…”
Luke took her hands and she stopped talking, “Not that your point proving kiss wasn’t great, it was,” holy shit this is awkward she thought , “I really would like to try it again, you know a kiss for us, not for the hundred people who were standing around.”
Her eyes widened as he lifted her chin, she quickly closed her eyes; she could not look at him. He kissed her lips gently. She gasped, and he moved to her cheek then back to her lips. He gently sucked her bottom lip pulling it lower, and her mouth opened, while his covered hers. Her head was spinning. This is nice she thought. His tongue began to explore her mouth as she started to pull back. He gently put his hand behind her head holding it to his, and her tongue met his. They kissed deeply, Luke slowly pulling his head away from hers lightly dragging his teeth down her tongue. He let go and kissed her again, this time without the tongue, parting his lips slightly so they covered hers once more and then over and over again. She wanted his tongue again, she needed his tongue again. She bit on his lip, and he opened his mouth for her to slide her tongue in slowly and cautiously explore his mouth for what seemed like ever. Luke pulled away, and Tessa slowly opened her eyes staring at his heat filled eyes. She felt her body coming back to reality, and her face burned bright red. She closed her eyes and looked down. “Damn Tessa you are so hot,” he whispered in her ear. She said nothing in return; she was still basking in the glory of her first kiss. She was pretty sure
