Let lips do what hands do

By Joe O’ConnorPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Fingers tap-tap on the table, edge closer, then intertwine, two into one, as his

hazel eyes scan her; a twirl of hair, a bitten lip, a nervous smile, then she

softly says “Come on then, I think I’d like to”, and it echoes in his ear, so he scrapes

the chair and leans in, inhales her vanilla scent mixing with cheap wine, and their

searching lips seek out each other, her cherry lip gloss now partly his.
