"What about when I make up some excuse to kiss you?"
"What excuse were you going to make up?" She giggled.
I liked the playfulness that existed between us. It made me feel like I could just be comfortable in being myself. "I was going to wait for twenty minutes, then say my lips felt like they were going to fall off and would need a kiss to save them. Then I'd try to kiss you, slowly of course."
She laughed, and I relished the sound. "You were going to wait twenty minutes?"
"Should it be longer? I don't know if I can wait any longer."
"Then kiss me now."
"That's even better."
It was with the greatest pleasure that I met her lips and relished the feel of her hands as she smoothed them into my hair and over my neck. I ran my hands down her soft, delicate shoulders and absorbed the feel of her against me. Taking hold of her tiny waist, I pulled her onto my lap where we continued to enjoy our kiss.
