The kiss
Created | Updated Mar 29, 2002
It was Friday and with nothing else to do I went for a drink. An hour or so later she arrived.
She looked genuinely pleased to see me which was more than I had dared to hope for.
The stirrings of the butterflies had me on edge and as we flirted my hand shook and I
spilled my drink, nervous and embarrassed, how attractive!
During the evening she spurned the advances of a potential rival, her smile kept me
suitably off balance.
After the pub we went to a club with friends and danced our little legs off, during
"You're the one that I want" from Grease she put her arms round my neck and looked so
deeply into my eyes that the back of my head itched, the world slowed down to a crawl,
the only thump was my heart in my chest and then there were only two people in the entire
universe.
When we kissed a bomb went off im my mind, the world fell away so fast I felt dizzy, like I'd
been swallowed by a whirlpool and was now no longer in control of my body, my mind, my
emotions. It was fierce and tender, her lips soft, her perfume strong and the world kept spinning.
An eternity later we pulled apart, the heat in the club and the heat generated between us was
too much and we went in search of ice cold water from the bar.
We both made an unspoken decision to leave and in the taxi we kissed again. I got out first and
she carried on to her home alone.
I will never forget that kiss and if I never kiss another person again it won't matter as I have had
THE kiss of my life and can re-live it any time I choose.
