Expectations
Jenny had admired Geoff for a long time. Every time she saw
him her stomach tightened and twisted with delicious pangs. She closed her
eyes, imagining him kissing her. He would hold her, so gently, his lips would brush
hers and then, as she gasped with pleasure, his tongue would slip into her
mouth. His tongue! She shivered at the idea. Her heart had literally skipped a
beat when he had asked her out – in fact, she had felt quite faint for a moment
until it resumed its normal rhythm.
And now the moment she had longed for had arrived - he really
was going to kiss her. Should she shut her eyes? Would he close his? What did
they do in films? He put his arms round her and bent his head. A tremor went
through her and then his mouth was on hers. His tongue was probing, questing, until
she opened her lips and then it was in her mouth, filling it, trying to snake
its way down her gullet. This was not how it was supposed to be. Geoff seemed
to be enjoying himself - his hands were all over her and she was batting them
off - and it was funny but she’d never noticed the smell of him before, an
unpleasant odour of unwashed body and clothes. She extricated herself from his
embrace, made her excuses and left. He gazed after her, scratching his head. He’d
never understand girls.
So funny! Like they say, the anticipation is the best thing sometimes. :) Nice buildup and transition to near disgust. Writer’s Mark
ReplyDelete"trying to snake its way down her gullet"!
ReplyDeleteOh, Janice, you are wonderful. This is all too often what girls find kisses to be. Matches the title perfectly!

Oh yikes, this sounds absolutely miserable. Enough to make a person swear off kissing. LOL. Good one, Janice.
ReplyDelete*LOL* Love this kissing scene. The inner dialogue is the best. Great job! Thank you for participating in the blogfest.
ReplyDeleteI encountered a similar kisser once, ugh!
ReplyDeleteI still shudder....
This is brilliant, I think I had a boyfriend like that once - shudders even now.
ReplyDeleteMade me laugh Janice. What we expect is not always what we get, and can apply to so many things in life.
ReplyDeleteSometimes fantasy just trumps reality. What a great representation of that!
ReplyDeleteNice post, great blog, following :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck :)
Ha! Well, that was a disappointment for her! Great job!
ReplyDeleteHee hee, this is a great twist on a kissing scene! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI loved the ending. Very real and unexpected. :-) Many thanks.
