“Ummm... I haven’t.”
“Never?” Eyes wide in disbelief, he gapes at her for a long moment.
She shakes her head, regretting honesty.
“Never been kissed, hmm?” His tone changes to that of a hungry tiger. “And we’ve been doing a stage kiss....Tonight, the real thing. Just wait.”
“Ummm...”
“So you Maid Marian. Come here.”
(The audience gasps as he kisses her- as does she)
“A beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Hopefully we’ll bump into each other again.”
The young woman is left alone, wordless before her audience.

ReplyDeleteHow can we ever forget them....

Great Drabble! I'm glad there was no audience for mine. Let's just say clumsy best describes the two of us ;o)
ReplyDeleteMichael: We don't do we!
ReplyDeleteMary: Ummm... I know what you mean. Although I was the "virgin" in my first kiss and shell shock might come close to describing the experience.
There's some debate (ok, only by me) on when my first kiss actually occurred. I don't know...does kissing tag in 3rd grade count? :)
