Chapter Two: Interruption
Randy and Blink were standing close in a dark alleyway. The sun had almost set, the colorful rays sent strange shadows dancing over the young people's faces. Blink stood in front of Randy, his left arm was propped up against the brick building, his right hand resting on Randy's waist. She smiled up at him, her back pressed firmly against the wall.
Tucked behind her right ear was a small red rose that Blink had stolen from an older man with a bouquet of them when he wasn't looking. She took it from behind her ear and twirled the stem between her fingers. Playfully she touched the rose to Blink's lips moving it up to his forehead, then slowly down his nose, back to his lips.
Randy brought the rose to her own lips and smiled at him. "That was very clever, taking the rose from that man."
Blink smiled bashfully. "Aww. It was nuttin'."
"Mm. But it was something. And that chase was invigorating."
The older man had realized the rose was gone. It was the only red one in the bouquet, and when he saw Blink handing it to Randy a few feet away from him he grew angry and had begun to chase them down the street. They had run through crowd after crowed but still couldn't seem to lose them. Finally they had ducked into the alleyway that they were in now, and the man had run puffing and wheezing past them.
Randy put the rose back behind her ear. "You know, you could have just taken a white one and then we could have forgone all the running."
Blink smiled and winked at her. "But that would have been no fun."
"True."
Blink moved his hand from her waist to her cheek and gently stroked it. Their eyes held each other, locking the two in a passionate stare. The world around them slowly began to disappear into oblivion. The noises from the children running home, the parents shouting, the dogs yipping, and the horses naying, all slowly blurred together until the only sound they could hear was the frantic beating of their hearts and the heavy sound of their breathing.
Randy suddenly blushed and whispered "Um...I've never...I've never felt like this before." Her heart began to beat faster and faster.
Blink shook his head and leaned closer to her, his lips only inches from hers. "Me neither."
Randy's hear was pounding in her ears and when their lips met it was as if fireworks had exploded in her head. She wasn't sure how long they stood their togther locked in their passion, but she felt it ended all too soon as they heard someone call her name.
"RANDY!"
Randy and Blink tore away apart and looked at the new figure guiltily. It was a woman dressed in a white and black nun's habit. Behind her more nuns appeared and they glared at the two condescendingly.
The one who had interrupted them, the oldest one with wrinkled skin and sunken eyes placed her hands on her hips. "I knew you were up to something when you didn't show up for your lessons today. " She switched her gaze to Blink. "I had no idea you would be consorting with this! Go home child! Pray to God to absolve you of your sins!"
Blink looked at Randy, uncertain of what to do. She watched him with large eyes, neither wanting to leave each other. Slowly he moved away from her and through the towering group of nuns.
Halfway down the street her stopped and turned back to them and called, "Where do you live!?"
Randy smiled and yelled out before the nuns could stop her. "2720 London Ave.! Second floor second window from the left over the garden!"
