Ginger & Glenn Harris...their story
Where do I begin...I was thirteen years old when my cousin and I went on a all night skating trip. As normal teenagers we were eager to find some cute boys to skate with for the rest of the night. We met two nice boys, and after the first date, my cousin and I decided to switch. Neal and I dated and stayed in touch with each other for many years. As friends we spoke often and went to movies, skating and things that teenagers do. None of us had a drivers license so Neal's father, Glen was our "taxi".
Growing older, I began to dream of Glen. I thought something was wrong with me so I confided in my cousin Wanda and she dismissed it. I guess she thought it was a crazy crush and would quickly fade. On my 17th birthday Glen brought Wanda, Neal and myself to the health club to swim. Later that night we were all listening to a cassette tape, laughing and having fun. When I put my hand on Glens leg it was as much of a surprise to me as it was to him when an electrical shock sensation exploded through my body, unlike anything I have ever experienced.
I left Glenn's house that night in shock, feeling dazed and confused. Then a couple of months passed before I talked to Glen again. I finally called him and confessed my love for him. He admitted he felt the same way, but could not be involved with me because I was under age at the time.
Spending long hours on the phone with each other caused something inside of us to grow stronger than either of us could deny. As the months went by, we spoke every night for at least two hours at a time. Despite either of us seeming to have the power to end our conversations, Glen couldn't see the use in developing our relationship any further. But that all changed when I visited my sister for the weekend and I could not talk to Glen for a couple days. When I returned home and spoke to Glen he admitted the absence of our phone calls made him realize that we had to give our relationship a try.
We made our plans in complete secrecy. I was extremely nervous as I walked up to where he was standing. He embraced me in a way that I knew that everything between us would be fine. We continued to see each other in private for a couple months. Then one night my sister caught us while we were at a ball park together, sitting on the tail gate of his truck. I got scared then because I knew my sister was going to tell my father. (My family knew Glen, but not as my boyfriend!)
