Penny for Your Thoughts

Old Bess and Sassy/Sarsaparilla went behind the bar and began filling some glasses with champagne.

Karl had resumed his usual comatose position, slumped over his newspaper.

And Jameson gazed at Prandi, trying to come to terms with the last week of his life. A week ago he’d been at a frat party hoping to catch the attention of a girl he’d liked for months. To his surprise, she had come up to him, with her bizarre questions and her strange attitude which Jameson took for charm.

He realized now that charm was really a disguise for her screaming insecurity.

It was true that Becca was more obviously pretty than Prandi, in the traditional peaches and cream way. A month ago, Jameson would not have given Prandi a second look if he’d passed her on the street.

But a month ago he wasn’t acquainted with Prandi’s keen wit and compassionate nature.

“Penny for your thoughts, Jameson.”

“Oh, I was just thinking of how much I’d like to do this…” Then he leaned in towards Prandi and kissed her softly on the mouth.

    Wow, that is one great lead into a kiss. That was very suave.

    I agree with Krulltar. Very good job on leading into the kiss and describing everything else. The imagery was very vivid.

    I love the rundown of his thoughts that led (FINALLY!!!) to that magical first kiss he’s been thinking about all week. I can’t wait to sequel!

    Fun and cute. If I was in a darker mood, I might feign gagging, but this was just really sweet.
