The Kiss

It was unintentional. She turns her head just as he is bending over, looking at the side of her head. She moves suddenly. The timing is impeccable and the lips are straight on. The movement of him bending over is slow enough, and she only wanted to look at him, but the lips connected.Another odd thing is, they both freeze mid-lip connection.He pulls back first. Just a bit. Just enough to break the contact, but still right in her face. She blushes and slowly pulls back as she looks down.He smirks, and softly says, ?Oh my. Excuse me.?She glances at his smirk and has a little one herself, ?Oh? Sorry.?He bends over and picks up the small paper bag she had dropped. ***LacyLacy is not from this part of the world. In every way she is normal, or even plain, in her own country. Now she?s here, in Canada. Too damn cold, but a land full of opportunities.Her skin is darker than chocolate brown. She has long straight hair, more like the Asians, and her face is like a caucasian, but still different. Her eyes are big, similar to the women of the Middle East.She knew of her heritage, about so many explorers in her lineage, and the different men that contributed to her family?s cross-breeding. This is the result.Oh. And she?s tall. Really tall. Six foot, five inches. Just short of two meters. Again, very average in her own country, as six foot six to seven feet is the norm.When she stepped off the plane in Toronto last March, she noticed it right away. Men were looking at her. Not only her height, but her exotic look. It almost creeped her out that they stared so long. It was hard to ignore. It hadn?t let up either. She still had not gotten used to it in the last five months.She came to Canada to further her studies. She narrowed her choice of going to Montreal to study in French, or to Toronto to better her English. The country she is from is predominantly French-speaking. But when she contacted the university in Quebec, she could hardly understand their dialect, as it was such a different French. She didn?t want to taint the French she had, and the opportunity to hone her English appealed to her.In Lacy?s own country the women own businesses just like the men. Her father was the one to suggest studying abroad. She was thrilled with the idea. Get away from home for a few years and also pick up some business courses. She got serious with daddy?s suggestion, and in no time she had applications all over the world.But Canada had always stood out in her mind. The reason was? hockey. She saw the Olympics the other year, and Canada won the gold. People with blades on their feet, on ice. How in the world?There was none of that in her own country. The temperature never dipped below fifteen Celsius. That was a cold day.Lacy finally talked her roommate to go to a hockey game. Julie is also in the business classes that Lacy attends. This was a feat in itself, to get Julie to get out of her video games and get outside in the general public. Seems every time Julie had a spare minute, she would get into the same game. But Lacy was persistent. Julie called it badgering and annoying. From a definite no, to, I?ll think about it, to, well, okay.Lacy is thrilled when Julie comes home one evening with two tickets for the Toronto Maple Leafs' game. They are going to play against a team from out west. Vancouver.It didn?t matter who, she just wants to see a real game. Maybe even touch the ice. That would be really something. Or even meet a hockey player! Oh my! That would be fantastic!They are sitting at the breakfast table the next morning, and Lacy asks, ?Where do we sit??Julie says with a smirk, ?Way up in the nose bleed section.?Lacy?s startled, ?What? Nose bleed??Julie laughs again at Lacy. Julie is constantly throwing out word descriptions that may, or may not, apply to the conversation at hand. One time Julie told Lacy she was as smart as a box of hammers.Lacy thought about it a moment, then said, ?Hammers are not smart!?Julie howled.Julie says in her giggle, ?The nose bleed section is really high in the stands.?Lacy asks again, ?Nose bleed???Yeah, it?s so high up in altitude, you get a nose bleed with the lack of oxygen up there.?Now Lacy is really thinking about it, then says, ?But I want to see the game. That?s the whole idea.?Julie is nodding, ?Oh, you?ll see it alright.?Then Lacy asks, ?Why are we so far up? Do we have to be that far away from the playing field??Julie sighs, ?The tickets for being closer to the ice are very expensive. These ones here were almost a hundred dollars for the pair. Maybe at the intermission, we can walk down to the ice surface.?The Friday game is about two hours from puck drop, and the two girls look for a parking spot closer to the arena. No such luck. They find underground parking that charges a good sum for the four hours they will be at the game.Lacy is shocked at the high prices of the evening. Julie sighs as they walk the ten or so blocks to the arena, ?Yeah, well. The price you have to pay when the players make a million bucks a year. Some, more than that.?This also is unheard of to Lacy. Being paid to play a game? She lets it go when the door opens to the music inside.The thunder and boom of the announcer?s voice is getting the crowd ramped up for the puck drop. The booming of the music, and the roar of the crowd, this is all unexpected by Lacy. She saw a bit of the game on TV, but never thought of the volume of the crowd and a huge sound system.Julie says, ?Come on! We?re late!??I thought we left way early??Julie grabs her hand, ?Yeah! That was before we had to find parking! Let?s go!?They walk past an opening to lower seats, and this distracts Lacy. She jerks Julie to a stop at the sight and sound. Julie smiles at her interest and they go and have a look in kaçak iddaa the huge arena. She?s spellbound at the bright lights and the booming music as the players all skate in a circle in their own end. The flashing lights, and the crowd are all on their feet, as the announcer bellows out.Julie looks up and smiles at Lacy?s look of shock. Lacy looks down and has to yell at Julie for her to be heard, ?I had no idea!?Julie laughs and grabs her hand to head up to the nose bleed section.Again they find stairs, and more stairs to climb. Soon they are out in the seating, and climb even more steps. Now she has to hang onto the handrail as she turns to look from the elevation of their seats.Julie says through the thunder, ?Here! Come on!?Julie indicates a row, and the people sitting there have to stand up for the two to walk past.Lacy squeaks when she loses her balance from looking out over the ice way below her. She grips the top of a guy?s head below her, and the guy almost spills his beer. He?s annoyed at the girl until he turns to look at her.Lacy is profusely apologizing to him, and the guy smiles and nods his okay.Julie is howling at the sight of her gripping the guy?s hair. Lacy is blushing big time as others also find this funny.They sit and giggle to each other a bit.The announcer says it?s time for the national anthem and everyone stands. Again Lacy is amazed at the sight and sound of ten thousand people singing all together.Eventually Lacy looks around her immediate area and turns to the guy beside her. She gasps softly and smiles when he says, ?Hello, Lacy.? ***ParkerParker is helping a student with directions to his class. He stops mid-sentence when he sees her ahead, well above the rest of the crowd. The other guy looks too, but takes off rather than wait for Parker to stop drooling. Parker turns to see the guy go without another word, then turns back to watch the girl again. Oh my?He had one of those looks that if Lacy saw him, she would have been creeped out.Another student comes up to his table and asks a question before getting his attention. He looks down at the student and helps her with her problem. After finishing with the student, he looks up, and behind him, and just sees the back of her head in the crowd as she heads to the business end of the school.Parker takes after his mother. She?s tall, and Parker was a gangly teen. All arms and legs. He was sports minded, but didn?t do well. He was asked to try out for basketball, and he did, but he was just too awkward on the court and around others. Most thought it was a shame as he stood over six foot four at sixteen. Well, so did he, but he didn?t beat himself over it. He had other interests as well.After high school, he went straight to college for administration. The teachers and staff were so taken by him, he didn?t leave the school. They hired him right after they graded his final exam.But this past year had him moved to the university to do his admin thing. He wasn?t so sure about leaving his comfort zone, but it worked out well for all concerned.A female teacher, a fellow student in his graduating class, comes up to him, ?Hey Parker. Did you see her??He plays dumb, ?Hi, Steph. Who??She swats his arm, ?You know damn well who. Stilt girl.?He stops and looks at her, ?Why would I be interested in her??She smiles, ?Oh, so you have seen her.?He shrugs, ?Only in passing.?Steph softly giggles, ?Not from what I heard. Mr Penner said he saw you with your tongue hanging out.?He puts up a finger and turns his head a bit with an eyebrow raised, but Steph giggles again, ?Seems he was just about to help you roll up your tongue.?He wags his finger, ?I have no interest in this ?stilt girl?, you?re talking about.?She laughs and turns away from him, ?Yeah, right.?Then she turns back as she walks away and yells, ?Lacy!?He stops. A name to the tall goddess. He smiles. Lacy.Parker wasn?t aware that Steph took one last look at him. She yells again, ?A-Ha!? Then laughs at his blush.Parker waves her away and chuckles.Two days later he spots her again. Lacy. Oh my?He finds a reason to head in her direction. This time she stops talking to another student to actually look up at the guy.She smiles slightly when he says, ?Good morning,? with a pleasant smile as well. She turns to keep looking at him and he?s not looking where he?s going right now.Parker bumps into a student and knocks her papers all over the hallway. He bends down right away to help pick up the papers.Now he?s really red. He stays down helping, and whispers cusses at his stupid move. Of course, Lacy?s gone when the papers are all picked up.Over the next few days, he sees her talking to a much shorter girl, and when he walks past, he hears a bit of the conversation. He forgoes the drooling part of looking at the girl, and walks passed the two from behind. He smiles when there is a pause in the conversation, but walks on. The little he hears, it sounds like a roommate, talking about what?s for supper.The next opportunity has her walking past him sitting at the desk in the front entrance. She didn?t see him with the crowd around, but he did pick up that she was talking about seeing a hockey game. Again he smiles at the stilt girl walking away from him.The next Monday he sees Lacy?s roommate by herself. He calls her over to his desk and asks, ?Are you roommates with Lacy??She smirks, ?Who wants to know??He smirks right back, ?An interested party.?Julie giggles, ?I thought as much. The feeling is mutual. With Lacy. Regarding you. Interested.?His eyebrows can?t hike any further up his forehead, ?Really??Again Julie giggles, ?You didn?t hear it from me, but Stretch took note of you as well.?Again the hiked eyebrows, ?Really? You?re kidding.?Julie shakes her head, kaçak bahis ?Nope. Not kidding. What?s up??He smirks, then sighs, ?I heard you guys talking the other day about going to a Leaf?s game.?Julie sighs, ?Yeah. In our dreams. Tickets are through the roof.?Parker smiles, ?I have an idea.? ***She gasps softly and smiles when he says, ?Hello, Lacy.?Lacy takes a double look, ?Oh! Hello??Parker chuckles softly, ?Let me introduce myself. Lacy, my name is Parker. I?m sorry we never talked at school.?Lacy?s head is swirling? and distracted. She would like to pay attention to Parker, but the sights and sounds keep drawing her attention to the action below them.Lacy turns to him, ?Hi Parker?? and she looks over the ice when the crowd oooo?s over a hard hit in the corner.Parker, in his wisdom, sees the girl distracted. He leans over to her, ?Enjoy the game. Ask me questions about it, if you have them.?She smiles and nods and is pleased she doesn?t have to try to concentrate on both, Parker, and the game.The crowd gets louder as Toronto races to the goal. Then all of a sudden, ten thousand people cheer and stand to their feet. Obviously it?s a goal, but Lacy yells, ?What?d I miss??Parker points to the huge monitor and it shows a replay of the goal. The crowd settle, and Parker is leaning close to her ear and telling her the play-by-play as it happens. The game goes on until the first twenty minutes runs off the clock.To get the full experience, the three go to the concessions to get their own beers.On the way out, jostling through the crowded concourse, a voice yells out, ?Parker! Get your ass over here!?Parker leans that way and works sideways through the moving hordes. He takes Lacy?s hand so not to be separated, and Lacy takes Julie?s hand to tow behind her.They get to the voice and Parker smiles, ?Lacy and Julie, this is the dean of the university, Mr Rands.?Mr Rands shakes the girls? hands and lingers on his look at Lacy, ?Where are you guys sitting??Julie points up, ?Close to the roof.?Mr Rands chuckles, ?Listen. My box is not full. No others are coming. Will you three join me in here?? And swings his hand towards a door.Julie and Parker are very excited, and thank Mr Rands for the invitation. Lacy has no idea.They go into the box, but it?s huge! It has a snack bar and drinks, and you can sit out in the stadium seats, or watch the game on a TV in the sitting lounge.The three walk up to the glass and look down at the ice surface. A hell of a lot closer than up in the nose bleed section.Parker smiles at Lacy as Julie excuses herself to use the washroom. Lacy says, ?I?m sorry to bother you at the game. That was not my intention. But I do appreciate you helping me with what?s going on.?Parker indicates a seat, ?Let?s sit here a moment before the game starts again. Can I bring you something to drink? Soda? Wine? Beer??She smiles, ?Thank you. Red wine, please.?Parker goes to get the lady her drink, and watches as Julie comes back. The two chat a moment, then Julie goes over to the dean and chats him up.Parker comes over with the wine and gives it to her. He sits in the chair closest to her and admires her from a different angle.Lacy smiles at him shyly and takes a sip of her wine. She eventually says, ?Thank you. Julie just told me it was you that bought the tickets for the game.?He sighs, ?Do I ever like your accent. It almost sounds French.?She smiles, ?Very good. Yes, back home we speak French. Not the Canadian French. More like the France French.?Parker says, ?You don?t look French. What country is it you are from??Just then a huge cheer goes up and the two smile at each other and get up to go to the glass. Apparently an elderly lady shot a puck towards the goal with a big board covering all of it but a small hole in the bottom center. The puck barely made it to the goal, and slowly drifted through the small puck shaped opening. The crowd goes wild as a brand new car is driven off the ice by it?s new owner.Parker says in her ear, ?Let?s continue our conversation. It will be a few more minutes before the game starts again.? Lacy nods and Parker pulls the chair out a bit more for Lacy to sit.Her jacket pocket tips a bit and a small paper bag drops out. Parker sees it fall, and bends over to pick it up for her. He turns his head to see a real good close up of her exotic face.Just then she turns to see a shadow come down, slightly behind her. All of a sudden Parker?s face is right there. ***He smirks and softly says, ?Oh my. Excuse me.?She glances at his smirk and has a little one herself, ?Oh? Sorry.?He bends over and picks up the small paper bag she dropped.He stoops and comes right back to her face, ?Nothing to be sorry about. My fault entirely.?She smirks a bit again, ?I think not. It was I that kissed you? unintentionally.?The French accent is driving him crazy. He stays right there, and she?s not offended by it. He softly says, ?For the record, I quite enjoyed it.?She smiles and blushes slightly, and puts her head down.He looks at her features. Her flawless skin, her shapely cheeks, her dark eyelashes and big eyes. He admires the curve of her lips. The ones he was momentarily connected to. Oh my?She looks up at him suddenly, then sees his goofy grin. She smiles again and lowers her head, again.Parker chuckles, ?Yes??She looks up at him, ?You see I have a question??He softly chuckles again and nods, ?Yes??Lacy takes a moment, but then musters the courage, ?Um? May I have another? Intentionally??Parker almost loses his balance and grips the back of her chair.His smile goes down a bit and he moves a bit closer.She sees him slowly approach and turns her head. Her smile slowly drops off as illegal bahis well. Both have their eyes open, and actually grow wider as the lips zero in on the others?. Both want to see the connection. Both are anticipating the connection. Oh my? And they live happily ever after? ***No?More?Well, okay. ***Their lips connect. There?s no movement from either one of them. Parker smiles with his eyes and she sees it. He puts a bit of suction into the kiss and softly pulls her lips into his. Oh man. Those succulent lips. The ones he admired just moments ago.He watches as her eyes start to slowly close. She hums. Poor Parker is fit to be tied at the steamy kiss he?s laying on her. And! And to boot! She?s loving it!Parker brings his hand to the back of her long graceful neck and slightly pulls her in tighter. His eyes are drifting closed as well, but sees her long thin hand come up, then feels it softly touch his cheek. Now he hums.There?s cheering. Both break off the kiss as the game is about to start again. They keep looking at each other, but the sound gets louder as the balcony door opens. It?s only two people cheering.The two look towards the door and blush as Mr Rands and Julie are clapping and laughing at them.They step in and Mr Rands says, still chuckling, ?Hey! There?s no fraternizing with the students!?Parker smiles, ?Good thing I?m not a teacher.? While smiling at Lacy.Lacy slightly blushes again, and puts her head down.Julie comes and stands square in front of Lacy and looks up at her bowed head, ?How the hell did you get him to kiss you? That was hot!?Lacy smiles and softly says, ?I asked for one.?Julie says as she giggles, ?Oh really. I suppose I?m driving home by myself tonight.?Now it?s Parker?s turn to blush. He thought about it. Oh, hell yeah! Great idea!Julie looks at Parker, ?Bring her home still functioning. We have an exam to study for tomorrow.?The game starts the second period, and the thumping music is blasting. They all head out to join the rest in the seats, and Lacy is thrilled to be so close to the ice now. Much better!Another period goes by with a goal to tie up the game. The crowd all go amazingly quiet as the other team is heard cheering from the ice.Parker keeps his mouth close to her ear and gives her the play by play. She?ll ask questions, but it?s not as enthusiastic as first period.Lacy is well aware of how close Parker is to her. He?s turned a bit to get comfortable talking to her with the loud arena.Five minutes left in the second period and she turns her head quickly as his lips are right there. The connection is successful and she breathes long and hard through her nose in a big gasp. Oh yeah, she wanted it, but Parker?s passion in the kiss is a thrill like no other time for her. ***She was asked on a date when she was sixteen years old. The boy was also a kisser. That?s as much as they were allowed to do. Both sets of parents grilled the teens on their conduct after each date. Did he touch you? Did he kiss you? Did he touch you sexually? You know, in those areas? The parents were good too. They could spot a lie in a heartbeat. Then it was a phone call to the other parents on their son?s or daughter?s conduct. The teens learned fast that a goodnight kiss was acceptable, but that was the limit.Lacy had no problem telling her parents that the boy gave her a goodnight kiss. She just didn?t tell them the good night kiss started as soon as they parked a couple of blocks from her home.Sex? Oh, hell yeah, they were tempted. The hands were poise to rub each other right. But the wrath of the parents was at the forefront of their minds. No. Better not.Brice was a great kisser. Being of French origin, the tongues danced freely from mouth to mouth. And not only the mouths. They kissed each other where ever there was bare skin. Shorts and skirts were popular on the dates. There again, it was just a good night kiss. A very good night? kiss. ***She feels him start to pull away. She?s not done. Okay. Now?s the time. She slips her tongue out through her lips and touches his. She feels his lips part, and she slides more into his mouth. The grasp around her neck pulls him back into the kiss. His tongue dances on hers as he tastes the sweet red wine. He reciprocates, and slides his tongue into her mouth. Lacy coos and hums at the flavor of Parker?s strong drink, whatever it was.The period ends, to both of their surprise. Neither thought the kiss lasted that long. Five minutes left in the period on the clock would mean about twelve to fifteen minutes in real-time. Oh my. What a kiss.The two break it off and seriously look at each other. The others are all standing, trying to get around the couple.Julie giggles as she passes by, ?Okay, you two. Go get a room.?Lacy looks at her, ?What for??All howl that hear the conversation.Julie laughs, ?For some privacy for you two! The clothing explosion is next!?Lacy is still not up on all the innuendo, ?Clothing explosion??Julie howls again and gets passed them.Lacy looks at Parker and he?s stifling a chuckle. She asks him, ?Clothing explosion??He laughs out at her look and shakes his head and hands, ?Oh no. I?m not telling you. Not yet, anyways.?Lacy finds no humor in the two words, and this gets Parker laughing more. He side hugs the girl as she looks over the empty ice surface. The big machine is cleaning the ice. A Zamboni, she thinks Parker called it.The third period starts and Parker lets Lacy just enjoy the game. She, once in a while, takes a furtive look towards Parker, and he will chuckle still at her not knowing about the clothing explosion. She smirks and punches his leg, and he gasps in his laugh and holds the girl?s hand. She doesn?t pull it away, and that keeps the goofy grin on his face.
