Sex & hookups 5 moments

I just remembered that I lost my virginity in this car.
I mean, how would you feel about driving around in the sweet ride I lost my virginity in? Do you really think you can track down the ox cart from the Renaissance fair? I only got to second base in the ox cart.
My mom, ugh, she found the condom wrapper under the seat, and it must have freaked her out.
But for what it's worth, I don't want to keep it because I had so much great sex in it.
I'm gonna make you the best sex I ever had in this car.

I told him we were the honeymooners, and, as a joke, he threatened to punch Dede to the moon.
Remember how you used to pick out my first day of school outfit so I wouldn't get beat up? Or how you'd hold the book while I read myself a bedtime story? And you're still doing it.
