Today (June 19) is National Kissing Day in the UK (yes, it's true, honestly!) so to celebrate I'm sharing with you a kiss between Kat and Alex from one of my books How Do You Spell Love?
Take it away Alex and Kat...
Reaching
for her hand, he helped her to her feet. “Have you ever flown a kite before?”
Kat
looked on bemused as Alex pulled bits of metal poles and brightly coloured
fabric from the rucksack. “Not since I was about eight.”
“Great,
this should be fun then.”
Quickly,
he assembled the kite. “This is a small version of a stunt kite. Fancy learning
to fly it?”
Soon
Kat had her hands firmly grasped to the kite’s handle, her feet planted firmly
on the ground and Alex’s arms firmly around her waist.
“Now,
tilt your left hand down a bit, that’s it!” he slipped a hand over her own,
guiding her movements. “A bit more and it’ll do a loop the loop. That’s it!
Terrific!”
As
the bright orange kite gracefully turned itself full circle, Kat allowed her
concentration to lapse and before she knew it, the kite was careering towards
the sand at great speed. Alex tried to grab the controls before they slipped
from her grasp, the kite suddenly swirling back up and away from them, up the
beach as the wind quickened. They ran after it, Alex just managing to catch the
controls and pull the kite back down to earth as the two of them collapsed in a
heap on the sand. The kite fluttered to the ground yards away from them and
they both burst out laughing.
“Sorry!”
Kat giggled, sitting up. “I guess I can add kite flying to the list of things
I’m no good at.”
Within
seconds they were tumbling on the ground again, the kite forgotten. Lying on her
back in the sand, Alex next to her, one hand cradling the back of her head, Kat
lost herself in the most amazing kiss for a few seconds before a gust of wind
tugged at her shirt and she heard the kite skimming away across the sand, the
breeze pushing it merrily along.
“The
kite!” Kat screeched, looking over Alex’s shoulder before flopping back onto
the sand.
She
looked up into Alex’s eyes. She hadn’t noticed before just how intensely brown
they were. Propping himself on an elbow Alex grinned down at her.
“Sod
the kite,” he whispered as he leaned down to kiss her again. Kat was vaguely
aware of the sound of the kite continuing to skim along the sand as she lost
herself once more to their kiss.
