There’s a first time for everything, right…
The time when Laura-Lee and me went down by the creek near her Pappy’s cabin.
I’ll never forget that smile she flashed at me when I was delivering a cord of wood to her Pappy’s place. Fine place old man Wilkerson had, all tarred up, nice like, between the logs. In the bush, life is right hard, for sure, but he seemed to be doing ok. To bad about his wife, dying like that and all but they did have one before she passed. Ah, Laura-Lee.
When I wasn’t doing my chores I was dreaming about old man Wilkerson’s daughter, Laura-Lee. Thinking of her night after night was my one and only pleasure. Right pretty she was, for sure.
Well, let me tell you, after delivering the wood to old man Wilkerson, he paid me and up and left for town. Seems like he was waiting for me to arrive before he set out to buying his groceries.
All of a sudden, Laura-Lee and me was alone. As I parlayed earlier, Laura-Lee has certain effects on me. I couldn’t hide the fact I liked her no matter how hard I tried. She kept remarking on that, pointing and a giggling, causing me unabashed embarrassment.
Before I knew it Laura-Lee had led me down to what she kept referring to as her special place near the creek. The water sparkled before my eyes as Laura-Lee said to me.
“I don’t like spiders and snakes, but that ain’t what it takes to love me, you fool, you fool”
Now I may be dumb but I couldn’t help myself. So I up and kissed her full on the lips. Sparks flew as our internal lamps lit on fire. Before I knew it, Laura-Lee was pawing at me with unbridled passion. Taken a little aback, I pushed her away. This couldn’t be happening. Me? And Laura-Lee?
Laura-Lee slapped me hard in the face at that point. Then, all of a sudden she started to crying and all.
I was a mite confused and couldn’t understand what she was blab-ling on and on about.
