I had been working in the dark room a while. Pacing back and forth in the small room thinking of when he would walk back in. I'm gonna kiss him this time I thought. He'd been racing through my mind all day. Images of what may come to pass once we got in here floated around my brain as the periods slowly progressed. Suddenly the sound of footsteps came closer, and closer, until he was in the archway of the room; a silhouette against the light from the outer hallway. He was simply standing there as if he knew what would happen as well. For a minute I simply took in the sight of him and gathered the courage to approach him in the process.
I walked up to him slow as possible so that he would understand this was not something I wanted to rush into. It would be our first kiss and we both knew it would have consequences. There had to be consequences because that was the thing with forbidden affection. Did either one of us really want to deal with the drama? Was this simple act really worth all the trouble that would follow?
At first I thought his lack of movement toward me was an act of hesitation and began to anticipate rejection. Soon I was right in front of him, motionless; realizing that even in a room simply illuminated with dim red and yellow lights I could make out all his facial features, paying particularly good attention to his eyes and lips. Neither of us said a word for about a minute as my eyes drifted from his, to his lips, and back again. I noticed he was doing the same. I began to move in, so slowly you might not have even realized I was moving till the gap between us had significantly lessened. I closed my eyes and very, very gently brushed my lips against his. I only drew back a few inches before I came closer to him again, this time placing on hand behind his head and bringing him closer to me. This time around there was only slightly more pressure between our lips but his had reciprocated my movement. I felt his hands lightly grasping my waist. First his hands just lay on my sides but then they moved ever so slightly to my hips and drew my closer.
By now our kisses were still soft but more passionate. Our tongues began to intertwine and dance to their own rhythm. I begin to pull away and felt his lips suck on my lower one. The sensation makes me weak and I begin to stumble backwards. This fumble, on my part, was taken as an invitation for us to move closer to the inner part of the room; further into the darkness. He pulls me closer than ever, kisses me harder, and seems to be pushing me closer to the counter top that sits along the back wall. I let go of his neck and reach my hands backward to find the edge of the countertop.
