“Mary, common… give us a kiss?”
“Jim, drop it.”
“Oh, why want you? Only a little kiss?”
“I’ve told you a million times already: No.”
“Maaary?”
“Jim. No.”
“What’s a kiss or two amongst friends?!”
….
“Please?”
A quick brushing of lips on lips, a flicker of the eye would have missed it.
Jumping on his bike, grinning from ear to ear.
“I love you, Mary!”
“Idiot”
“Mary, did you just kiss Jim?”
“Tranquil, Maxine, ‘twas but a kiss.”
Tranquil
