The kiss wasn’t all I had wanted it to be. It started out that way. It started out passionate and fiery. She burned me everywhere we touched. Then she got rigid, though, and pulled away. I had no idea what the matter was, and I wanted her back in my arms, lips pressed against mine. It felt good and I was dying inside for more. I think that was the point.
“What’s up?”
I had her pressed against the bar and I tried to get closer. I don’t exactly remember doing it, but there was something going on and I wasn’t sure what. Betty had been giving me all of the signs that I’d seen a million times. Her beautiful eyes told me that she wanted it, so what was it now?
“I… I um, just don’t know you and the kiss was nice and all, but…”
Her green eyes were now large, and I felt bad. What had I been thinking? It was obvious that Betty was different. I knew it the first time that I saw her. Now I knew that I was going to have to say something to her.
“Sorry, you’re right.”
Tommy walked up and told me that we had to finish up the last few songs. I thought I had more time. I told him I would be right there, and he tried to rush me, but must have realized that I was trying to get a girl’s attention. I guess that it wouldn’t have been that hard to imagine.
“Look, it will only be a few minutes. Will you stay?”
She looked unsure and I did something that I hadn’t done much before. I didn’t beg, per say, but it was the closest that I’d ever came to it.
“If it’s not going to be that long. I guess I can stay a little while longer.”
I kissed her again, a bit quicker, but it looked like I still caught her off guard. I guess I didn’t realize how different Betty was, but I was getting the hint. Only time would tell, what else I would learn about the beauty that came out of nowhere.
When I pulled away, she had that stunned look in her emerald eyes and a shyness that I wasn’t used to in a woman her age. Betty was really different.
