The Long Kiss Goodnight
The Long Kiss Goodnight
The fog crept over Dark Forest Woods late one night, muffling Tommy's scared shrieks of pain and agony, covering his bloody carcass like a blanket in the night, wishing, hoping, that someone finds him before his hour passes. The girl, who was she really, the one he came to love, or the brutal evil beast he wished to kill, she would pay one day. She had two sides to her, one gorgeous sexy young woman with puppy dog eyes, filled with love that could take you places you've only dreamed about, filling any young man with passion for her admiration. Her lips, luscious and full, filled with compassion, forcing him in slavery to her every command. Tommy's lips, how they ached, oozing with blood, vomiting like crazy, for there is a taste of warm blood in his mouth, he coughs and chokes knowing he will probably die soon. Why had his uncontrolled yearning for her passion, forced her to inflict this torturous upon him, to die a painful and miserable death. Why had she done this, he thought, Beth would get paid back one day, she will get what she deserves. Now I will tell this psychotic story to you and only you.
It all began with a phone call from his best friend, Chuck.
"Big Tom, how's it hanging? Hey, do you think you'd be able to go to the mall?"
"Yeah, pick me up in about, lets say 30 minutes so I can take a quick shower."
"Let me guess, you want to pick up women, you horny loser," said Tom.
"Me the loser? If you're lucky you might see some ugly girl and get your first kiss. Be there in thirty minutes," replied Chuck.
"Bye, Mom, got to go, be home at 12:30," said Tom, rushing out the door to Chuck's pinto.
Now Tommy was the kind of kid who's never late for anything, his homework is always turned in on time, and he's a straight "A" student. He's what you'd call a "goody-two-shoes." But not today, no big Tom was looking to get in some mischief, and mischief is just what he got and a lot more.
"Chuck, we've been here for five hours and every girl you've talked to either smacked you or walked away laughing. Are you done yet?" asked Tom, getting frustrated.
"Nope, I'm just getting warmed up," said Chuck.
"Chuck, you've really got to get a life, you're girl crazy! Well, I guess it's better than being boy crazy," said Tom.
Suddenly there she was; Tom forgot all about Chuck and became fixated on her.
"Chuck, look at her! She looks like a model for Victoria's Secret!"
Chuck had already seen her and began his move, also fixated on the girl leaning against the railing. She was beautiful and there was a certain glow to her, like an angel in old paintings. There seemed more to her, like that's not her only side. I tried to listen to what they were saying, but all I could hear was that she said her name was Beth Hart. The next I knew Chuck was walking over crying like a baby with a huge red hand print on his face.
"What happened?" I asked.
"What do you think?! She smacked me," said Chuck.
That was it, I couldn't hold back anymore. I just started laughing like crazy and didn't stop. However, laughing was my worst mistake, he reminded me that I had never kissed a girl.
I then opened my big mouth and said, "Bet I could do better."
Chuck and I made a little bet, that was the worst bet I would ever make. He bet twenty dollars that I couldn't pick up Beth and kiss her. Well, I figure this was a stupid bet, but just to get Chuck off my back, I said "Ok." I walked up to Beth and just started talking to her like a gentelman. The next thing I knew, I was walking Beth home. She was hot with silky blonde hair, long smooth legs, puppy dog eyes that just make you melt with desire. That smile, those lips that make you feel and know what love is all about. She could tame a tiger with just one kiss. Is this true love or am I just swelling with desire, I have never been in such a situation causing feelings of burning passion, love, and want for her touch. Her entrancing features lured you deeper within her spell. Resisting would be insane for she had a glow that could tame the wildest beast. Although she seems perfect, there is something sinister yet exciting that I could not explain. There was something in me, something that told me she was dangerous, but I was overwhelmed by her beauty, and could not break free.
Beth and I walked in Dark Forest Woods, under the glistening stars, the trees swayed as the wind howled through them. I was holding Beth tight for she was shivering and wanted to be cuddled. I wanted her to feel secure and protected in the dark woods. The moonlight and the glistening stars created an illuminating glow on her silky blonde hair. The moment was right, I turned and she smiled, it was time for the kiss. I puckered up my lips and kissed her. Her lips were warm and soft giving me the feeling of lust for more. It was beautiful, it was a kiss of true love and passion. Holding her soft hands, gazing into her eyes while swelling with desiderate. I wondered if I should kiss her again. Yes I will, this time it will be a kiss of a man something dangerous and more lustful. That's when it happened when my life began a dramatic twist. My lips pressed against hers our bodies entwined and my thought's spinning. It was just as I had always imagined, perfection, she took by breath away. I began to feel a warm sensation in my mouth which slowly developed into intense pain. I mumbled words in attempts to speak.
Feeling my face, touching my lips, I looked at her in disbelief. Her face was covered with my blood, she licked her lips with a satisfied look of vengeance. Flesh torn from my mouth, remaining hanging on her face. The once beautfiul girl, now became a hideous and distorted beast. I saw the sinister side my gut was trying to warn me of, when we first met. She bellowed a blood curdling scream, her eyes became red as she changed from a seductive, spell binding woman into a psychotic killer. She began to kick and punch me, the louder I shrieked and moaned the harder she hit, as if my mortal cries of pain and agony, vexed her every blow. For a moment the pain stopped, my blood began to pourfrom my body, an eerie feeling of calm engulfed my being. I heard her laughter lingering in the distance as she fled. Still in disbelief, Tom vowed, she will get what she deserves one day, I will see to that.
As morning approaches, the fog begins to lift and Tommy hears Chuck calling from a distance, he will be saved and live, or is it just a wisp of wind whispering in his ear.
