First Kiss
You know how you dream about how your first kiss will come? I was no exception! I romanticized and ached in those secret places that virgin's feel but afterwards seem to lose touch with. My heart would beat and I would beg any God who was listening to make it special, make it soon!
Now God is much smarter than your average teenager so it wasn't until I turned 16 that I actually had my first steady boyfriend and also my first kiss. This is a good thing because I ended up marrying him which probably wouldn't have been a good thing if I had actually had my way when I was younger. You see, I was totally attracted to the 'bad boys' probably because I was a bit into the whole 'I must save my Daddy' phase.
I met my bad boy at a time when I was more objective and ready to just let him be his bad 'Jersey boy self'. Yes folks, my Sigel is a bonefide Jersey boy without the fake tan and stupidity, think Jon BonJovi if you must compare. Incidentally, our youngest daughter was convinced that Mr. Bon Jovi was her father because they looked much the same. Yep I know, I am a lucky woman!
Now, back to the story at hand.
I was all jittery and nervous sitting there in the dark theater. I enticed him to put his arm around me and was feeling that thrill of female conquest as I snuggled into the warm, spicy smell of him. Oh, in my mind Sigel was HIM, you know, 'THE ONE'! He was being all suave and dignified, as much as any sixteen year old was capable of, but I was so very taken by it all. The movie is burned into my mind, 'Short Circuit'. There I've dated myself now!
All of a sudden, he sort of shrugs and turns to me with his face just inches from my ear and whispers,"I'll be right back." He stands up talking his warmth from me and walks quickly up the aisle. I didn't know if he was coming back but I was planning for the worst by making up all sorts of nasty ways I could 'get back' at him. Ok, so I was a bit bruised by guys up to that point but he came back and sat down.
He put his arm on the back of the seat and leans in to me. He plants a soft little kiss on my startled mouth and whispers with a wicked leer, "I don't french kiss on the first date!"
To his credit, he meant it but looking at me with my lipstick shining with mint flavored gloss, my eyes looking all shy and stuff got the better of him and he sighed softly and said, "Psych!"
This was IT, folks, this was the kiss that let me know I didn't want to ever be without it! Soft, warm and so hesitant it was everything that I had always dreamed it would be. His mouth tasted of Juicy Fruit gum, a fresh piece, and he knew all the right moves.
Only a few times in my life have I had that amazing feeling of absolute completion but that was the first time I felt that with him. I have to say that on a scale of one to ten he ranks right up there with Prince Charming for being able to give a girl a fairy tale story. I was one of the lucky ones that kissed her Prince and then did live 'Happily Ever After'. It hasn't been all roses and Juicy Fruit gum but it has been amazing enough that that first kiss is still the single bright point in my memory.
