Great 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.
