THE FIRST KISS1
Wow! She's pretty tonight! I'll count to ten and then I'll do it. One, two, three, four, five, six, eight, nine... Whoops! I forgot seven -- Better start over. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.2
I'm not doing it.3
What's the big deal? Count to ten, then do it. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, onetwothreefourfivesixseveneightnineten -- do it! What happened, chicken? What are you scared of? She'll probably slug me. Calm down! She's probably waiting for it. She wants it. One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten.4
I'm not doing it.5
Why do you have to be such a jerk? She probably knows you are trying to do it. She's probably laughing at me. Why does she have to be so mean? She's not so pretty. She thinks I'm stupid. She's stupid. Hey!!! Wait a minute! YOU are the jerk. Oh yeah! I forgot...6
Wait until the next song, then do it. Now...why did she turn off the music? How am I supposed to know when to do it? Don't get so close to me! I'm trying to think how to kiss you... Those eyes. I didn't know she had those eyes. Of course not, stupid! You've only talked to her on the phone.7
She's never seen me either...!8
Uhoh! Better check everything out! Coolly pull down the mirror. YYIIKKEESS!!!! Three zits! Uh! No wonder you can't kiss her. Calm down before she realizes something is wrong...Brush your hair down over them. Now you are beautiful. If I was a girl, I'd wanna kiss me, too.9
WOW! I'm doing it! That wasn't so hard!10

Ahhh, my Friend...never underestimate the magnitude or meaning of such an event...it develops character & forms memories that last far beyond any others...I had one blind date when I was younger...we didn't kiss; we cringed...

Wanda,
Yours was much more meaningful--from a life perspective. Mine was simply an adolescent blind date... I'm glad it made you laugh!!

This is classic stuff, my Friend...the stuff dreams ~ & nightmares ~ are made of...This is hilarious...poor, poor, Poet...I'd say when she turned off the music would have been the proper moment...'specially when she got sooo close... Thanks for lettin' me know about it, my Friend...I guess we were 'on the same page', eh??? Wanda

so many things run in one's mind before the first kiss. The doubts, the confusion, the nervousness and the actual kissing..it's all in here. You have penned a delightful episode...very nice. Take care~
