Woo! Band trip today! Heck yessss! I'm posting this wayyyy early today, but I had it written yesterday, so... yeah. It's short and sweet because I was tired last night and I had to write four drabbles. And I'm still a day behind. Oh well. I've kept up for the most part, and I'm proud of that.
Inopportune Moment
"Well," Will said a bit uncomfortably. Elizabeth scuffed her feet on the ground. This was always the most awkward part of dating: the dropping off at the front door. Elizabeth had gone on a couple of dates with Will, but they had yet to kiss. It wasn't that neither of them wanted to, it was that the opportunity just really hadn't arisen yet. "So…I had fun tonight." Elizabeth laughed.
"You had fun getting beaten by a girl?" Will chuckled.
"What can I say? You're a natural at bowling." They both shared a laugh, and then they were quiet for a few moments. The sounds of crickets chirping echoed through the entryway as they stood there, neither knowing what to say.
"Well, I guess I should be going. Thanks for dinner and bowling, Will." She smiled and turned towards the door.
"Elizabeth," he said suddenly, grabbing her wrist and turning her back towards him.
"Yes?" Her smile was a bit bigger than it normally was, as she hoped that her guess as to why he called her back was true. He seemed to move slowly as he approached her face, taking her head in his hand. His nose brushed against hers slightly, and he leaned in to
Click.
The two jumped apart instantly, staring at the intruder.
"Oh. Elizabeth. You're home," Elizabeth groaned inwardly as her father stepped out into the cool night air. "Lovely evening. Hello, Mr. Turner." Will nodded sheepishly to the older man. "Elizabeth, I forgot… I needed to have a word with you before you left. Let's go inside." Elizabeth blushed and glanced at Will. He smiled halfheartedly at her and waved as she waved back and was dragged inside. Chuckling at the situation, Will turned and started walking out to his car. Talk about an inopportune moment, he thought, pulling his keys out.
"Will!" Elizabeth ran out to him, and before he knew it, she pressed her lips softly against his. After a moment, they broke apart. "Goodnight, Will." She grinned happily at him and ran back inside. Shaking his head, Will climbed into his car. That would definitely be a first kiss he'd remember for a long time.
