The first kiss

It was destined to happen, we had agreed that we would go to a movie, the infatuation with each other firmly in place, we both felt it, but outwardly denied it in the presence of our peers, left alone however, the infatuation washed over the both of us like a fan flaming our already overheated desires.

We would see each other in between classes and cast secret smiles between the two of us, the smiles that immediately set the pulses racing and caused the skin to flush, so much so, that many a time we were asked by various friends if we were ok.

We had deliberately chosen the night of one of our high school dances to go on our date so we could be left alone with no friends about. We agreed to meet at the theatre and when i got there it was all i could do not to melt into a puddle of nerves, and then, she arrived.

There were no words that could describe her intense beauty, it overwhelmed me, wrapped me up, and carried me as far into the heavens as i was allowed to go, at that moment if i had seen one of Gods angels it would have been no comparison to the beauty i had in front of me.

We said our hellos to each other, our hearts in our mouths, we both glowed from the heat of mutual attraction that threw up a haze that blurred the world around us.

The movie was of no consequence, more than once we had caught each other stealing glances at one another in the flickering light of the film, we had permanant smiles on our faces as we pretended to enjoy the movie.

In a move of pure boldness i reached out and took her hand, she responded by intertwining her fingers with mine and squeezed determined not to let go, i held her hand firmly, my face was flushed and burning from the heat of the first contact.

We held hands as i walked her home from the movies, we talked joked around and laughed, and not far from her home we stopped at a park under a lamp post. We stared at each other still smiling our everlasting smiles, i held her in front of me, we made promises to each other, hearts beating rapidly we both moved in for the first kiss, the previous awkwardness and nervousness of not knowing what to do that i had agonised over previously, were now a long forgotten memory as nature took over and gently guided us on our way.

Her lips were soft, warm and inviting, we kissed the kiss of the ages, we kissed with passion that ensured we would not forget about each other no matter where our lives lead us, we kissed our kiss, and somewhere in the background, away from the streetlight in the park that had two lovers locked in an everlasting kiss, the world carried on in its usual way.
