My first kiss ...

I am curious about girls,even today. They act as if they are from a different planet, my mylaporean(very conservative place) upbringing alienated, and a bit frightened me from them. There had been countless occassions where I wanted to say something to a girl, and yet I remained as a quiet observer.

But even to a tightmouthed guy like me. A kiss actually happened. A cupid's faintest arrow must have struck me and that girl. She sat near me everyday. I liked her hair. It was like a barbie doll's hair without the curls. Her dressing sense was of haute coutre,her pristine eyes dazzled along with her yummy cheeks. She smiled whenever she saw me. I used to smile back blushing. I remember that I blushed a lot those days. But no one from our class seemed to be bothered about our clandestine stares and the consequent blushings. People must be busy in their work.I guessed.

At recess hour,she would be the last person to move out of the class. And I was quite the opposite. I always head out first,marching along with my friends like a pack of army ants. Did she miss me in the recess hour? I dont know... My brain thinks like an ogre when I feel hungry.. But she continued to gaze upon me after the lunch break. Sometimes I make it a point not to look at her and listen carefully to the class proceedings. But my heart breaks down after some time,she must have looked at me atleast 6 times by that time. Now I have to show my trademark loser-smile-blushing when she looks again.

A few days passed and as luck wud have it,the girl next to her was absent for that day. Now I had the chance to sit next to her. I did not hesitate and captured the moment. I cant beleive my luck I was siting next to her. Her eyes sparkled at close quarters,and I could look no further,even her faintest smiles rocked me.She chuckled when I was lost in her beauty. My heart soured and ebbed. She looked very ecstatic. I lost all attention to what-ever that is going on around me ...

I moved closer and pecked at her yummy cheek.My heart stopped for a moment.All thoughts ranging from :"Why did I do it ?","What a foolish thing to do?","What will she think of me?","How many from our class has seen it?",Did the teacher see it?"... My tension which rose like a rocket fell like one when she SMILED BACK ... Is this called elysian joy? The teacher and other students just kept on doing their work. Finally my time hath come. I have a girl-friend whom I can kiss.

The following day, I had the chance to sit next to her again. This time a peck wouldn't do I thought. I began drooling and her glances at me assured that I was on the right track. I moved closer... I kissed her again in the class,while she was listening to the teacher. She turned towards me and gave her seraphic beaming countenance in awe. I said to her "I would kiss you after every session". Mysteriously she agreed to my deal. I stuck with my deal and kissed her after every session. Inspite of all this, I managed to take notes. She was like a prim accountant, very serious about her work, even when she was glancing at me, she always had an eye on her work. In a couple of minutes, recess would start,when I asked her to kiss me back.

She KISSED ME on my left cheek. It was the first time when a girl of my age kissed me. I still cherish that moment. Everything came to a still, and I could hear my heart beat. Her pulchritude after that kiss was magnanimous. We smiled back at each other. I pecked her cheek one more time.

"Neo... " the teacher shouted. "Naughty boy!! What are you doing in that corner?"she asked. I was flabbergasted,but my girl friend was not,she smiled at the teacher,as if she has not done any wrong. She looked at me to admonish but she could not control her laughter. She came towards our bench. My First grade teacher said "I am going to change your place !!!"

Errr....
