Today I had the most amazing experience of my recent life. Possibly of all my life, but that's hard to say for sure.
I was standing in line at Cinnabon this afternoon, in the same mall that I was kicked out of for taking photos at a while back, and there were two women standing about 30 feet away looking at something or other in a store window. They were both very attractive, well dressed, I'd say in their early thirties. Since I was standing in line, shuffling along like a good little sheep, with not much else to do and little else on my mind, I watched them as they chatted about whatever they were looking at. No, actually, I was kinda just gazing in their direction, my focus alternating between them and the spaces between us and behind them.
Then, just as my focus shifted from them to whatever was behind them, they did something I never would have expected...or even dared to hope for.
Not a peck or a smooch but a full on, open mouth kiss. It was loving. It was passionate. It was tender. It was the most beautiful thing these eye's have ever beheld! Well, perhaps it was a close 2nd to Maxi's tush. But I digress. They kissed each other and held each other close, oblivious to their surroundings, to the people that passed them by, to the little girl who walked by tugging on her mothers sleeve and wispering "kay eye ess ess eye en gee" (which now that i think of it, I didn't know kids still say), and to the perv standing about 30 feet away, staring, spellbound. That was me in case you missed the connection. The thing is, I wasn't staring at them in an erotic or "COOL, chicks KISSING!!" sort of way but I was absolutely mezmerized by what I saw. The way women kiss each other...I find that astounding! I can't quite put it into words but suffice it to say, it's not at all like a male female kiss. It's different. Their heads tilt with just a little less exageration. Their mouths open just a little more subtly. Their lips press together very gently. Neither one appears to control it or dictate what happens. It just unravels, unfolds and flows. Naturally. Beautifully. *sigh*
I snapped out of my trance when they pulled their lips apart and both simultaneously looked me right in the eye. There I was, standing in a line of my own making as the line I had been in moved around me...busted cold by the kissers. I'm sure my mouth hung open. I'm sure I looked like a total idiot. I thought I was a dead man standing. To my delight and reliefe, they both grinned at me and at one another and turned to walk away. I was moved. Their kiss and the fact that they had noticed me staring at them, without becoming offended or embarrased, touched something deep inside me and i just had to say something to them. But what? What could I say? I had to think fast because I had already blurted out "excuse me, hold on a second." without even thinking about it.
They stopped and turned back toward me, looking half amused and half curious. Then my heart started pounding in my chest followed immediately by a huge lump in my throat. What the fuck was I doing? This isn't something I EVER do...approaching people in this manner but I was committed so I managed to collect myself while I covered the distance between us. As I caught up, I said "I hope I didn't embarrass you by staring and I certainly don't mean to now but that was the most amazing kiss I've ever seen. I mean that was way beyond hot or erotic. That was so beautiful...Thank you."
They looked at each other, grinning, blushing, and then they both leaned in and gave me a peck on each cheek. Then one said "Your welcome. You didn't embarrass us at all. You're very sweet, thank you." and took the hand of the other and they turned and strolled off. Well, more like strutted, but who can blame them for that?
I stood there for a few seconds, collecting my wits which, if I'd had them about me, I would have given them a business card and asked them to consider working with me for a kiss themed photo project I've been dreaming of doing but as so often is the case, incredible events seem to leave me incredibly dumb and I missed my chance. So, if either of the kissers happen by some miracle to find this blog or the thread I'm going to start in the Kissing Group, please drop me a line. I'd love to discuss a possible project, if you're open to it.
I can now say that I have been kissed by two girls at the same time who between them, shared the most incredible-beyond-words kiss I've ever been priveledged enough to witness.
Here's a little visual aid in case anyone requires help in picturing the event. Of course, the kissers were not in their undies and were standing upright. Obviously, but the event and the pic are almost dead on from the neck up.
