"Thank you for the birthday presents."Thank you for the birthday presents. They were wonderful. And it was fun." With that, Amy closed her eyes and leaned to me. Our lips met, tongues touching for the briefest of moments. I leaned forward, trying to prolong the contact as she pulled back slowly. Amy gave me another gentle kiss, leaving just a hint of her wonderful flavor on the tip of my tongue. "Good night. See you soon.", she said, climbing into her car. She left me standing with a false smile on my face, and forbidden thoughts struggling to reach my consciousness. Friends? No, more. Lovers? No, considerably less, my hopes and efforts notwithstanding. I had just held a private (just the two of us) birthday celebration for her. |
