You know, I've always gotten what I wanted.
Not to say that I'm a megalomaniac or something but
when it came to getting things done. I always put my whole behind it to make it happen. There was only one thing that had eluded me all year, well at least
until today on the 7th of May.
You see I have this friend, a pretty close friend. But nothing too serious. I guess we were not what each other viewed in perfect someone. She was beautifully blonde, blue eyed, and gorgeous. Ever since I had seen her at the pools I had fallen in love with her, she was the only lifeguard.
Well as it so happens the only thing that I had not been able to acquire all year was a kiss from those oh so plump lips that she called her own. They had been close to mine many times but they always seemed to vanish right before my eyes.
Many times I wondered how or what I could do to get a taste of those perfect lips, but every time I though about them my mind went blank. I was too busy thinking about her lips that I forgot to think about how to get them.
Summer was fast approaching and I knew that I would have very little chances left if I did not think fast. So this morning as I was eating my breakfast cereal it hit me. Well actually it got stuck in my me. The cereal I had been eating had gotten stuck in my throat. Thank God I knew how to do the Heinrich maneuver on myself. Right then as I was coughing from lack of air I realized what I could do to get those perfect lips that had eluded me for so long.
When I got to school this morning, I saw her at the same spot she always was. It was the same spot that I went to every morning. I swallowed all my nervousness and went up to her as usual. We were talking like usual except this time I was eating one of those cereal bar things that for some reason so many people think are healthy. We talked for a while until I faked it. There was nothing stuck in my throat but I sure ass hell pretended there was. My face turned blue, I started coughing, I fell to the ground to make it look even batter.
Even though I had my eyes closed I could feel someone move forward towards me. (I should have kept my eyes open) It was happening just as I had envisioned it would. And then I felt them, those oh so perfect lips. They touched mine and mine touched them. It was all perfect, a perfect moment of bliss in a world plagued by destruction and hate. Even though they were just preforming CPR on me it felt just as well. Soon enough I got tired of that and went for it. Kissing those lips like I had never kissed any other lips before.
Everything was going well, at least until I opened my eyes. Oh what a surprise was in store for me when I opened my eyes. The person who's perfect lips had eluded me for so long where not the lips that had come into contact with mine just merely seconds ago. Instead they were those of the assistant principle who happened to be walking by when I faked it. I mean I'm not complaining the kiss was great, but the principle herself. Well just to be nice and make her look a little more well attractive, I will compare her to the dead decomposed fetus of a goat.
Geez, all my hard work and for what? A kiss from an old lady. I was so embarrassed, and of course it didn't end just like that. Apparently, I had broken many school rules with my little act. It landed me in detention for the rest of the day and the week that follows.
Well this afternoon as school was letting out. Who else but the lifeguard herself was standing by my car. I was anticipating ridicule and jestering, but none of that occurred. I did not even say a word before she advanced on me and gave me the kiss I had been craving since so long.
