It was dark in the lane,
but just ahead of them they could see there was a dog walker smoking a
cigarette as some kind of Terrier snuffled in the grass.
The man took one last
drag on it and a red glow lit up his face before he flicked it into the
darkness and it span through the air like a Catherine wheel, which he thought was
quite appropriate as they had just been to a fireworks display on the village
green, in fact the smell of the gun powder and saltpeter was still thick in the
damp night air.
But despite the cold
and damp neither Nick nor Emily were in any hurry to get home, it was their very
first date, but not only was it their first date together it was also the first
date either of them had had.
Nick was fifteen and
Emily was a year younger and quite naturally they wanted their date to last
forever and so they both walked as slowly as it was possible to go without actually
standing still.
However they
eventually arrived in the street outside her house.
An awkward silence
ensued as Nick shuffled his feet and tried to think of what to do next and
Emily waited patiently for Nick’s next move.
However when she
realized he didn’t have one she took decisive action and reached up and kissed
him and then the fireworks truly began with their first magical kiss, a kiss
that neither of them wanted to end, which sent their heart soaring into the
heavens.
