Quick background:- Tara's hosting a hoover building kissing contest...
"And just in time for the grandest Hallmark holiday of them all," Tara was using her 'deejay' voice to announce the new RFBI contest. "The longest kiss contest." Her voice was completely transformed away from the girl next door tone that they had grown accustomed to for the past 4 years.
Jack, Sue and Bobby were off to the side watching Tara in her new found world. Her independence, her freedom, was definitely an outfit she loved to wear. And she looked fantastic in it too.Sue was making few internal notes about her emotional growth spurt. Half in jealous, half in awe, she was really proud of the petite blond behind the microphone.
As the husky voice faded to music, Sue was shocked to see Tara in front of them in a single bound.
"Sue," Tara's hands were jerking back and forth on her thighs. "I sooooo need your help."
The laugh was broken up by the force of the shaking, "Drama Queen much?"
"This isn't funny. Right now I have a contest about to start and I am one couple short of fulfilling the contest participation rules."
"So how do I come in?"
"Well," Tara exhaled and expressed her sentence in one breath, "Ineedyoutoenterthecontest."
The shock hadn't even registered with her as Jack let out a gut wrenching bellow.
Moments passed, "So?" Tara's face wrought with emotion.
"So what?"
"Will you be my last contestant?"
"Contestant? In your kissing contest?"
Her blond curls bobbed as she nodded her head in affirmation.
"Don't I need a partner?"
Her curls still bobbing in the same movement. Sue's head slowly looked between the two guys before she focused back on Tara. "And where, pray tell, do you propose for me to find said partner?"
As both girls turned to Bobby, Sue rolled her eyes. As if following the same object, they turned to the other side and looked at a still laughing Jack.
"Why can't you and Bobby do it?" Sue hoping to take the logical way out.
"Because I have to do the show," Sue's try for logic thrown out the window, "I can't talk with his tongue shoved down my throat."
"Hey!" Bobby interjected for the first time in the conversation,
Tara realized what she said and leaned into him to give him a quick kiss. "Sorry babe."
"Sue, look, I need you." Dropping to her knees, she laid into begging.
"Yeah Sue!" Sue turned to Jack and shot daggers at him. His chuckled movements managing to dodge his body from the invisible weapons.
Tara's hand on his thigh stopped him. "I need you too."
"What?" Jack's amusement was immediately curtailed.
"Sue needs a partner." Tara's seriousness blanketing any ideas of kidding around.
Grabbing both their hands she pulled them forward towards the contestant area. There were 5 other pairs, all the epitome of coupleness. Sue rolled her eyes and tried to not gag at the thought of them. Even during the times she shared moments with Jack, she never behaved this way. She hoped.
"You know, we are adults, and adults in the 21st century," Sue trying to find another side of logic with Tara, "There's always Jack and Bobby...." Maybe the side of illogic, because she was grasping for possibilities that weren't even plausible.
Setting them up in line, Tara slapped a pair of numbers on them and told them to wait for her cue, then'd they start kissing and the last one standing, wins the prize.
As she walked away, she spun around for one last warning. "And no wussing out. Please put some effort into it!" She tossed them a quick kiss in the air and grabbed her headphones as the last notes faded to her.
"It's only a few minutes right?" Sue talked softly to him.
Jack looked down the line at the handful of contestants. They were all displaying a massive amount of affection and he raised his eyebrow in question of their "couple" validity.
"I don't know Sue? These guys look like they mean business."
"Well, if we give it the old 'heave - ho' what harm can be done?"
Looking down at her, he was taken back to a time where she was what he couldn't have. But after having a taste of it, the void in his heart was sometimes insurmountable. Ignoring it put him right back to junior year in high school all over again, butterflies and all. Only Sue, at age 32, could set them a fluttering.
He watched as she bit into her bottom lip. His inward groan he thought for sure was heard by everyone. But as he looked at the crowd around him, he knew it was for him only.
Sue faced him and went to put her hands on his shoulders, awkwardness filled every movement of her body. Tara was signaling the start of the contest.
As Jack turned to face her, her breathe was stolen away. His hair was less kinky thanshe remembered and his body had gained strength, and from the looks, form aswell. She acted like she didn't see it, but she did. And every time they touched, her body felt it. Felt alive. The familiar rush that coursed through her body, was a daily source of confusion for her.
The air horn blew and the surrounding couples stepped into their respective embraces while the last couple stood in hesitation.
"Let the game begin." Jack whispered, steeling himself for the unreciprocated feelings he knew would rush his body. His body leaned into hers slowly, memorizing every breath and heartbeat, knowing he would never get this chance again.
Bringing his left hand to her cheek, his thumb softly brushed over her. Reacting to his touch, she brought her hand to cover his, rubbing the inside of his wrist. Jack leaned down, happy she was close to his height, he knew that there was nothing that could stop him for kissing her and showing her all his hidden feelings.
When she felt his lips brush over hers her world stopped. This is what she had been missing. There was many moments that she had lived this past year, but they didn't complete her like this one kiss was doing. She raised her hand to his neck and brought him closer to her.
His scent whirled around, taking her to a world she thought she would never return to. He continued to touch her face and she knew that there was going to be more. More sensations that she was going to lose herself to. And she readied herself for it.
He resisted the invasion of sensations as long as possible but as she parted her lips to him, he could no longer hold back. The tips of her hair felt like soft silk, and as he rubbed the ends, he heard her moan, but was it faded in with the music that was playing.
Neither could hold back any longer. Feelings held back for so long flood them at their continuous contact and both took the chance to ride them out.
Confessions, truths, admissions, feelings were all poured into one kiss.
"I should have believed more in myself."
"I missed you every day you were gone.'
"You were never far from my mind."
"I can't live without you."
"You are my world."
"I never meant to hurt you."
"I want to be true to you."
"This is so right."
"Where do we go from here?"
"Are we surviving the storm?"
"Can I give you forever?"
"Hello?" The voice invading was not recognizable to the couple. "Hello?" Penetrating this time on sheer loudness.
Slowly, they broke away, taking a few moments to register their surroundings.
Tara stood before them, holding a tall gold trophy. "You guys won!"
"Won?" Jack still keeping Sue in his close embrace, "It's only been a few minutes."
"Try again," Bobby stepping closer to Tara as he slung his arm around her. His wrist turning to show the time, "It's been a few hours."
"Hours?!" Both said in unison. Her body still craving his nearness so she remained in his arms.
"Hours." Tara affirmed with a nod.
"Well, I'll be...." Jack rubbed his chin in amazement.
"I'll be what?" Sue wondering what had transpired in the time the two had shared.
He turned again, afraid of the answer, but still needing to know it.
"We'll be," He said, his arms snaking around her completely, "Taking this somewhere more private."
Sue smiled without hesitation, knowing there was no going back anymore, only forward.
He murmured her last name before he descended to take possession of her lips. Tara and Bobby watched for a moment, happy that their plan had worked.
"Are you going to get in trouble for your 'non-contestants' winning?"
"Hmmm," She stepped into him, grasping a handful of his shirt. "Well, maybe they won't get the prize."
"The weekend away to the Florida, all expenses paid?" She leaned up to him as she acknowledged him.
"Maybe they don't need it."
They turned one last time, noting the "winning" couple had yet to pull away from each other. Bobby and Tara, happy that their Mission Impossible plan had worked. Now maybe life can get back to normal.
