So this is a prompt that I'm doing a bit differently than normal! Thid one will actually be from Lauren's (or Joe's at some points) point of view. It's kind of like a diary entry…but not like that at all. It's weird but I think it's kind of cool! Figured I'd change my writing style up a bit just for kicks! This is also a prompt I wrote during the hurricane and yes I survived! Bored out of mind when the power was off but at least my family is safe and such. I hope anyone that was affected is doing okay! I know it's hard for anyone who lives by the Jersey shore but hopefully it'll all get better soon. But other than that depressing news I hope you like this prompt!
So you want to hear about the first kiss Joe and I ever shared with each other? Well it's a kind of weird and boring story. It wasn't romantic, but it definitely was special…in a weird way. Well it all began junior year of college. Both of us had a significant other at the time, but in reality we were madly in love each other and did not realize it. My best friend Julia, I think you all have probably heard of her, had written and directed a romance play. She of course cast Joe and I as lovers, which at the time I was extremely pissed at her for, but now I'd like to thank her. Alright, back to the story. I was cast as a naïve and shy girl named Lucy Parks. Joe was a male character named Richie Burton.
The whole rehearsal process and everything was quite fun. That is until we got to Act 2, Scene 3, Line 7. Yes, that is where I remember clear as day the stage directions. It specifically read, "Richie pulls Lucy close, so there is no room in between them, and they passionately kiss for a minute." Needless to say, I was about to shit my pants.
Hey I was going to shit mine too!
Joe, get out of here! This is my side of the story for now!
Fine, but you owe me!
Yes, yes I know. Now out! Sorry about him. He likes to butt in at the best parts. Well anyway, he came up to me before the scene to make sure I was okay with it. Was I supposed to say no and storm out of the rehearsal space? Of course not, I had to be a big girl and suck it up. So the scene began:
"Lucy, please don't get back with that jerk! I'm the one who truly loves you!"
"And how do you know that?"
"I've always known that I love you."
"And why tell me now, huh? You've had all this time in the past to."
"I was nervous, that's all!"
"Well prove it to me. Prove that you love me."
And with that he pulled me tight to him and kissed me as passionately as he could. Well let's just say I had no intention of pulling away and the next thing you know the two of us were on the ground and practically eating each other's faces off. Julia had to shout, quite loudly I may add, to get us to pull away from each other. We both were bright red and would not talk to each other for at least a month unless in character. Back to the kiss though. I don't care how corny it sounds, I swear I heard and saw fireworks in my brain and it was one of the best moments of my life.
Mine too, love. Other than our wedding day of course.
Aww, Joe Joe.
Come upstairs and we can reenact our first kiss maybe?
Oh? Well I guess I'll be cutting this story short then. I have something to go do right now…that probably sounded wrong but yeah. Thanks for listening! Maybe next time I'll tell you the story of our fir-
Lauren, hurry up!
I'm coming! I'm coming! Well I'll see you all soon. Bye!
PS: So did you guys like this kinda story where the characters are telling it rather than it being third person? If you couldn't tell Lauren was in normal font while what Joe said was in italics. Let me know if you like it! See you all soon! Love Caitlyn.
