I had always wanted my first kiss to be something tremendous, mind blowing and unusual, sometimes I try to picture myself kissing under a stormy weather in the middle of boulevard, or inside a pool of water swimming rhymically. Nevertheless kissing a complete stranger sounds more eccentric, and to frank, I kind of preferred it.
After a jiffy of silent Bethany spoke out. "Its just a charity program and I know the lady hosting it so i can sign you out if you..
"I will do it!" I interrupted.
"Huh?" Bethany just couldn't hide her surprised expression, she gaze astounded at me. "You will participate?" She asked.
"Sure why not" I mumbled audibly.
"Hmmm, okay" she spoke out still surprised.
Maybe she felt uncomfortable or perhaps dumbfounded by my reply because she didn' utter another word. I presume she expected me to be repulsive or angered due to how much I despised being put into stuffs with my perception. To be frank I am amazed by my response myself, never knew I would react this way, maybe I am much more unpredictable than I reckoned.
"Never knew you were this desperate" she chortled nervously after a while of silence.
"Keep it down freak!" I admonished with a whisper, looking around. "You are creating a scene" I added.
"Freak?... You are one to talk" she snickered, I gave her a light hit on the shoulder.
"Nit wit" I cussed wearing a smile.
"Hi" Bethany fluttered at a girl in front of the booth, who she wore a green dress and a hat. Now, that is what Bethany should call weird, I can never put that on! And a cowboy boots... Sign me up for a harlequin.
"Hi" she replied.
"She is the girl I told you about" Bethany said referring to me.
"Wow..." She beamed, cupping her cheeks with her palm. "She is so cute" she added.
Now that is just extra dramatic.
"My name is Sharon" she said raising her hands for a handshake.
"Cla...."
"Clara" she interrupted, "I know" she continued with a grin.
Weird.
"She is going to have just a kiss" Bethany said when Sharon hauled me towards the booth.
"I know!" She yelled, Bethany rolled her eyes and trailed behind.
"Now this is how we do it" Sharon asserted when we got inside the booth, she lifted up a blind fold. " You will tie this on and walk up there when ever a customer comes" she pointed at the stage which was just above us. " I will keep my promise by calling you up when ever I find a very good looking one" she grinned walking up the wooden stairs that leads to the stage. "I wouldn't want to ruin your first kiss" She added.
I glared at Bethany who was trying to restrain herself from laughing. "You told her!" I yelled with a whisper.
"I had to" she shrugged placing a kiss on my forehead. "I will be joining her up there" she continued.
"So you really want to leave me here alone" I said with a grunt.
"I want to be your eyes, since you will be wearing a blindfold" she chuckled. "Don't worry it will be a very cute guy" She winked.
"Yes sure" I mumbled with an eye roll.
Worst first kiss ever! Still can't believe I will be kissing for charity.
I stared around, it was so dusty. I signed and hearkened to Sharon, who was busy calling for patrons.
"Just two buck for a perfect kiss from me, and for the gorgeous Lady inside that would be a ten bucks " She said. "And apart from the price you need to be very handsome" she added with a grin.
How ridiculous.
I operated my phone as I patiently waited for the Playboy who would be my first kiss, of course it will be a Playboy, I mean who else will pay ten bucks to get a kiss from a complete stranger. After a while Bethany walked in grinning from ear to ear.
"Clara" She called with a whisper. "You need to see him" she gasped walking down the wooden stairs hastily. "He is so cute" she grinned blushing as hell. I widen my eyes in surprise, Bethany hardly complement a guy and to see her react this way was just stunning.
"Come on, we wouldn't want to keep him waiting" she said pulling me up from the chair, she helped me with the blindfold and gently lead up the wooden stairs.
I will be honest with you, I was damn nervous.
"Bethany" I called.
"Quiet" She hushed, I could still hear her grinning.
Great!
The darkness caused by my blindfold lightened up a bit when Bethany opened up the curtain. I bite my lips nervously, I had always detested being kept in the dark.
"Here she is" Bethany said and with that I heard her feet walk away and the flipping sound of of a thick stage curtain followed leaving just me and the complete stranger.
"You know biting you lips would make it a little bit more difficult" His muscular voice said with a grin.
"Oh sorry" I mumbled letting go of my lips nervously.
He cupped my cheek with his arms and between seconds his lips came in contact with mine. He sucked my lower lips letting his hands trail down my body, when he got a clutch of my ass he squeezed it enthusiasmly, bussing me passionately. I wrapped my hands around him, letting his tongue slid in my craving mouth. It was the best feeling ever.
After some minutes he broke the kiss, he wanted to remove my blind fold maybe curious to see my face but I moved back instead.
"Sorry" He chuckled.
"It's okay" I mumbled audibly blushing as hell, my cheek was all red.
"I will go now" He said and I heard his feet strolled out of the cart.
What a relieve.
"How did it taste?" Bethany asked even before I could remove my blind folds. I felt my face heat up immediately.
The kiss was the best thing I had ever experienced, but how it tasted? Can I even explain it?
I looked away. "What do you mean by that?" I asked bashfully.
Drizzling of rain started to fall and Bethany and I decided to head back home since it was already minutes pass seven, I changed back to my clothes since the weather was getting uncomfortably cold. The ride home was excruciating, Bethany kept on blabbering about the kiss and how cute the stranger was. I quickly urge her to stop me when we were few miles from my house. "Okay, if you insist" She shrugged. "But I doubt you will find a cab". "I know, I plan on walking home" I said coming down. "Come on Bethany it's already late and you know I won't mind taking you home." "I feel cold, jogging home will keep me warm, our doctor also suggested i do that in situations like this." I lied. "Alright, see you in school on Monday" She waved and zoomed off. I exhale deeply, I had aways detested walking home late at night but that was the only option I had to escape from Bethany blabbering. I placed my headphone on my ears as I jogged toward
The sun woke me. A stream of light that hit me right in the eyeball. Rude! I yanked the covers over my head, burrowing, but flashes from the night before made it impossible to return to sleep. I pulled the blanket off my face. Squinted at the clock. It was too early to be getting up on a Sunday. But whatever. I slid my legs off the edge of my bed. Rubbed my eyes, stretched, and yawned. I wore my flip-flops and staggered into my bathroom. As I brushed my teeth to relieve my breath of the ick, the event that happened last night came flashing back. I stared at my ankle which doesn't seem to hurt anyone. "Why am I just clumsy" I muttered lifting my pajamas, to have a look at my knee. It was as red as a ripe tomato. "You woke up early today," mum said as she whisked a bowl of egg. That's just her problem, sometimes I wonder what was with her and egg! If not scrambled eggs it would be fried egg or omelet with sauce. We at
The sun reflection woke me up from my slumber. I yawned as I rubbed my eyes. I stared at the window, stunned that I forgot to close the curtain before sleeping. I whirled to gaze at the time. "Few minutes past five" I mumbled as I stood up from the bed, but hesitated When the sudden realization hit me. I took another glimpse at the clock before breathing out heavily. Now am not too surprised by the fact I woke up before my alarm. I walked into the bathroom to freshen up for school. ~ "Mum I think my alarm is faulty," I said, plodding downstairs. "How is your leg?" She asked instead. "Fine" I mumbled, sitting down to have breakfast. "Nice outfit" She complimented, I rolled my eyes. I wore a blue big hoodie and scalloped short which was underneath the hoodie. The scalloped short wasn't my size so it was extremely short, and was hardly seen to be precise. "The only reason am wearing this is because of of my leg"
He raised his brow at me after a jiffy of ackward silence."Sir, am afraid I can't tell you, it a girl thing" I said."About mestruation". A guy from behind said aloud, grinning sheepishly. Guess he overheard our conversation. The guys in class burst into laughter. I tried not to stare at Ethan's direction."Quite! And miss Clara I would love to see you at the principal office" Mr. John said."But..." I tried to protest but he raised his hands at me before returning back to his lecture. Bethany gave me a apologizing look.Great.I sat on a bench opposite the principal office waiting to be called upon, as I listened to my favourite playlist. I just hope I won't be getting a detention. The door cracked open."Miss Clara". Mr. John called, I pulled my earphones off my ears to stare at him, he backoned me to come in. I forge a depressing countenance before walking into the office.~"Were you punished?" Bethany asked,
A smile crept on my face as I remember those memories, which I always find hard to forget. I sat at the edge of my bed and pulled off my snickers and then my short pants, striding into the bathroom to freshen up."You mean you are not coming?" Bethany asked behind the phone."I have plans, sorry," I told her, clenching tight to my phone with my neck and shoulder, as I crammed my clothes inside our washing machine."Umm... Okay, I will tell you everything tomorrow and make sure to take good care of yourself "I nodded not minding the fact she couldn't see me before ending the call, I pressed the on the bottom and watched the machine spin my clothes roughly.After doing my laundry, I arranged my clothes inside the wardrobe. Threw my phone on my bed and walked down stairs for supper. I made a sandwich, took a bottle of milk from the fridge before heading back to my room. I arrange the meal on my bed and took a bite from the sandwich. I chewed sl
A loud groan escaped my lips at the loud sound of my alarm."Argh!" I groaned.Why on earth do schools exist! I squinted my eyes trying to sharpen the blurry images before me when the alarm rang yet again.Without giving it a second thought I grabbed the alarm and tossed it away. I was complacent by the loud crashing sound it made not until I heard a knock.One problem after another."Who is it?" I asked, with a grunt."Tony's nanny is everything okay""Yes! Just go away" I groaned, my eyes were dull, wishing for an extra minute of sleep."Okay, and breakfast is ready". She said.I bolted up, my eyes wide awake. "What did you say?" I inquired."I said breakfast is ready, but you want to continue dozing, so more for me". She said teasingly behind the door.I stared at my rattling stomach. "What did you prepare?""You're Favorite. Chicken soup"I opened the door grinning sheepishly f
"Hey! Am home" I yelled, pushing the door open. Sophia who was busy playing with Tony on the couch, craned her neck to face me."You are back?" She smiled."Yea" I groaned, dropping off my backpack. "So hungry" I mumbled, laying flat on the couch. She giggled."Not funny!" I mumbled, grunting tiredly."I made lunch""Of course, you did" I titled my head to face her. "Were you supposed to wait for me?" I asked with an eye roll. She stood up with Tony in her arms."Sometimes I wonder how you cope when I wasn't around!" She shook her head. "I mean for a food freak like you!" She grinned sheepishly."I made chicken soup, sandwich, and other stuff. Since you are hardly around, paying visits to your boyfriend" I said glaring at her. She quickly looked away, I knew she wanted to crack a joke but I just wasn't in the mood, guess Bethany being absent in school really got to me, or maybe I was just very hungry.As the saying goes, a hungry lion is an angry one."Um... Sorry" She mumbled, looking
"A date!" I thought."You can think about it later?" He said, nervously. Scratching the back of his head. "You should go meet Bethany now".I nodded. "Where is she?""She might be in bronx," He shrugged.Might be? am sure she would be. Bronx river is one of the best place to alleviate, and am hundred percent sure Bethany would be there. We often hang around there most of the time, anytime we wanted to loosen up, it is the best place to stay if you want to be alone. That is, in my own point of view."Thank" I mumbled anxiously. Rushing out of the house. I was short of words.I was about stopping a taxi when Jason insisted on giving me a lift. "Take me to Graham avenue, I will take the subway to bronx" I said after jiffies of ackward silence. I just wasn't comfortable with him. I stared through the window as he drove, I thought he would interrogate me on why I was against him taking me to bronx, but he didn't. He only gave me a feeble nod and continued driving quietly down the road.I t
