First Kiss

I have finally done it! I have a cute girl alone on the beach, the moon is full, and I even remembered to put on some of my uncle’s Old Spice aftershave. I have on my good shirt, the one I have been saving right out of the wash, and I feel confident because I didn’t even have to give it the old ‘sniff test’ while putting it on. I should smell pretty good.

An orange flavored Tic Tac slowly melts in my mouth; the mouth that soon I am sure, will kiss a girl for the first time. I hope she likes oranges. We are sitting on a sand dune, watching the waves, the moon making a shining path on the water. We have been talking easily all evening, joking and laughing, but as she leans against my shoulder, I can’t think of a thing to say. I want to make a witty or romantic remark but my mind is just whirling in circles as I smell her hair.

How would James Bond handle this? He would just hold her and kiss her with feeling and she would swoon. I can’t do that, I don’t have a tuxedo. Maybe I can be like Fonzie, or should I just try and be Myself?

I have mentally rehearsed this moment for days. First you hold hands, then you hug, and if she hugs you back that’s a green light and then you can try for the kiss. I wipe my palms on my jeans in preparation, because I don’t want her to think I have just dipped my hands in salad oil. As I debate with myself I feel her hand on mine, and I take it gently. How long do you wait after holding hands before you try for the hug? Her thumb moves back and forth on my hand. I have never felt anything like this, a warmth just spreading up my arm to my frenzied brain and paralyzing all rational thought.

I look down and see her face tilted up toward me in the moonlight. Oh my God it’s the TILT! Are we going to skip the HUG and go directly to KISS? Her eyes are closed, should I close mine too? Suppose I close mine and miss her mouth?

I keep my eyes open and kiss her softly, she tastes sweet and her lips are warm on mine. My eyes close as the kiss continues. I feel my lips are starting to melt into hers. She stops the kiss and leans her head on my shoulder again. I put my arm around her. As we look at the moon and the waves I am glad I finally did it. I am also glad I didn’t over analyze it, I hate when I do that…

i was confused at first because the first sentence was in past tense and the story is in presence. lol and comparing hands being dipped in salad dressing kinda threw me off cuz i’ve never heard of that before haha. i really like the description “i feel my lips are starting to melt into hers”

Were but all first kisses so sweet and nostalgic. Mine was horrendous. The guy covered my whole mouth and nose with his mouth, and then ardently slobbered all over me like a St. Bernard. I still can’t smell Stetson cologne without having the urge to grab something to mop up a deluge of drool–LOL!

ryn: no I haven’t heard a thing from her either. I’ve left notes with my email address in case she’d like to get ahold of me that way too but I’ve not heard from her. I hope she’s ok.

Haha, cute. I like kisses that happen spontaneously. No thought. The kind where you’re just left surprised that it even happened.

ryn: I absolutely love The Temptations, but try as I might I cannot fit every song I love in my Top 10 or Top 20. It’s sort of agonizing putting the lists together. There is always someone left out that I really love. Actors Sidney Poitier, Tom Berenger, Jeff Daniels; actresses Angela Bassett, Madge Sinclair, Emma Thompson; movies Remember The Titans, Gettysburg, Dances With Wolves, Ordinary People; the mini-series The Jacksons; Bon Jovi, Earth Wind & Fire, Frankie Beverly & Maze, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Average White Band; movie songs The Rose, Gangstas Paradise; power ballads Open Arms, I Want to Know What Love Is, Is This Love; general songs like A Love of Your Own, Just My Imagination, Devotion, Boogie Nights, Sara Smile, Girl Why You Wanna Make Me Blue. Just too many to consider and then categorize. As time moves on my lists change because I will watch a movie again, listen to a song again, etc. I should have been a critic. 🙂

And by the way, “Where Is The Love?” by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway is a bombshell of a song! Simply beautiful!!

heheh…didn’t over analyze…hehehe ryn- but I HATE turkey and pumpkin pie. I’ll settle for ham and gooseberry cobbler

i think you were on the right track when you pondered how James Bond would handle things. more importantly, though, is What Would Jesus Do?! you’re forgetting to ask yourself the most ultimate of ultimate questions. clearly – and i’m just speculating here – Jesus would have bypassed the hug and kiss and gone straight for her pants. is that blasphemous?
