LOVE MATCH
Lili took a deep breath, grabbed Hal by the front of his thick
sweater and stood on her toes to reach his mouth. This time they came
together in a spectacular crash of teeth against teeth, gums against
gums. Lili felt Hal’s lips squash on hers. She’d heard of bells ringing
during a kiss, but she’d always imagined them sounding like celestial
fairy chimes. Not ambulance sirens.
“Er.” Hal grimaced. “Whoa.”
“Well, that won’t do at all,” Lili said angrily. She put her hands on
her hips and glanced around the porch to make sure they were still
alone. “Ms. Whitehead told me you guys took classes and stuff!”
“Hey, wait a minute,” Hal said, clearly affronted. He gingerly felt
his mouth. “We do. I did. But we don’t—we don’t take kissing
classes!”
“Well, that’s obvious,” Lili said. She was being unfair, perhaps
irrational, but her embarrassment fueled her.
Another look of grim determination slid down over Hal’s face. He
pulled her against the full length of his body, his fingers gripping her
upper arms nearly tight enough to hurt. He bent to her mouth, sliding
his lips against hers.
Lili, caught unprepared, didn’t have time to take a breath. Or was it
the way he smelled that left her gasping for air? Or the way his broad
chest felt crushed against hers? Whatever caused the sensations ripping
through her, she surrendered to them wholeheartedly.
Hal stepped away from her so quickly she almost fell without the
support of his hands. “I’d say that was better, wouldn’t you?”
Lili’s knees were still weak, but she recognized a challenge when
she heard one. “It was all right. Why don’t you let me give it a try?”
