Then He Kissed Me
by Laura
This...thing, no this attraction has been building all night.
I’d bought this man a drink, talked with him and argued with him. With effort, I’d admitted to him that I was scared, for both myself and my men (boys).
He’d told me to say goodbye to my woman. The one I wouldn’t dance with, claiming injury.
And I’d come back and greeted this man again.
We’d held hands, nothing more, making the most of that moment. Then one of my men and his girl arrived, stealing lovers’ corner from us. He did suggest that we went elsewhere, but he’d already said he might have to leave before the night was over, and my nerves got the better of me.
Later, I steeled myself. Trying to calm my hammering heart, I’d stalked across the room, plucked Captain James Harper’s hand from Toshiko’s and pulled him onto the dance floor. We’d held each other close, bodies cradled by arms, and we’d danced, in front of everyone, moving slowly around the floor.
Now, we’re still, and he’s moving his head, his lips are about to meet mine...
Then, out of nowhere, there’s a noise I’m far too familiar with, and a blue light, and Toshiko’s shouting, “Jack!”
As the man I think I’ve fallen in love with stands to attention, I follow him, but I know she’s not addressing me.
Toshiko calls him again. Then this man who shares my name (with a single tear running down his cheek) says he has to go, it’s his duty, and I nod, letting go of him. Jack runs a hand down my arm in farewell, turning to walk away from me, and into the strange light. I can just about see Toshiko’s face - she looks...I don’t know...
If she had a plan with that look, it certainly worked, because Jack turns around and walks back to me.
He grabs my face in his hands and this time, he kisses me, fiercely.
And, oh, Dear God, I kiss him back, with everything I’ve got.
As Jack’s hands slip away from my face, I snake one of mine round the back of his neck, drawing his lips a little closer. My other arm goes around his waist. I feel him mirror the position with his own arms.
I quickly decide to try something else. Moving my hand slightly higher, I place his head at a different angle. Jack seems to sense my plan, as he opens his mouth, and lets me slip my tongue inside it. He does the same to me, and we kiss a little deeper, tongues stroking over each other, lips pressed tightly together.
Then Jack starts to pull away, and again, I let him do so. My hand’s now moved to his shoulder, and I leave it there for a little longer. I look at him, but he won’t, or can’t meet my eyes. As I remove my hand, he once again takes my face in his hands, and runs them down to my neck. Again, I receive a stroke along my arm as a goodbye, and Jack once again turns away from me and walks towards the blue light.
It pains me, but I know he has to leave. Where the hell he and Toshiko are going to, I have no idea. He turns back to me, face still tear-stained. I raise my left hand to my head and I salute him. They walk into the light, and they’re gone.
I’ll remember Jack tomorrow, when I lead my boys on their last training exercise.
I’m sure he’ll remember me, wherever he is.
-end-
He kissed me in a way that I've never been kissed before,
He kissed me in a way that I wanna be kissed forever more.
