As Skylar kisses me my mind wonders back to the first time Hunter kissed me. He was so gentle and soft and Skylar is the opposite, his movements are rough, his teeth keep banging into mine and his tongue is just all over the place.

I do really like him but this kiss, it's awful!

He breaks away and looks at me with a smirk. I notice him leaning in again and I abruptly stand up.

"Sorry, give me a couple of minutes, I just need the loo."

"Oh sure, it's just down that way on the left."

I make my way down the hall to the bathroom. I lock the door behind me and look in the mirror, my lips are red and puffy, if not a little sore. I try not to take too long gathering my thoughts, I don't want him thinking I'm dropping the kids off at the pool. That's just not a good look for a first date...If that's what this is, but I'm a little hesitant about going back out there too.

Maybe we just need a little practice, we just have different kissing styles that's all, maybe I could try teaching him to be a bit more gentle and that teeth aren't meant to be part of the process. I take a deep breath and head back out.

He looks up as I walk back towards the couch, he's looking at me with a shy expression now. Great now I feel bad for thinking all those things about his horrible kissing. Then it occurs to me, I wonder if he doesn't have much experience, could I be his first kiss? Surely not!

I mean it's not like I have heaps of experience either but I do like to think I know a thing or two. I don't go round kissing heaps of guys but there has been two or three.....or six. I start thinking of all the guys I've kissed from my sloppy first to my second most recent with Hunter, that was a good kiss, I think smiling to myself.

Skylar clears his throat and brings me back to the here and now.

"Sorry I was a thousand miles away."

"And what has you so distracted," he says to me looking a little smug.

"Um.." this is so awkward, he thinks I was daydreaming about him.

"Would it be ok if I have another beer?" I say, avoiding his question.

"Oh, yeah sure."

He jumps up off the couch and heads to the kitchen. I think I'm going to need that beer to get through the rest of the night.

Skylar walks back into the lounge bottle in hand and smiles at me,

"Now where were we?"

I grab the bottle and take a big swig, he sits back down next to me and takes the bottle, putting it on the coffee table and starts leaning back in.

This time I'm going to take control, I close the gap and grab his face and slowly kiss him. He's obviously a little surprised but goes with it, we manage to keep our teeth apart and his tongue has slowed to my pace, that's better. His hands move to my hips and he slowly pushes me back to lay along the couch, I let him and he hovers over me for a second then slowly puts his weight on me.

His hand starts to move up, as he gets closer to my chest the kissing picks up a notch, I try to keep our good rhythm going but then his places his hand on my boob over my top and he goes from cool and calm to rabid horny teen in a split second. All of a sudden we are back to too much teeth and tongue, and now he's squeezing my boob like a stress ball, which is super uncomfortable.

All by myself, don't want to be all by myself anymore........

I push Skylar off me and scramble across the floor for my phone. I really should've changed my ringtone, which I put on a few weeks ago when everything started to spiral out of control.

"Good evening Ma'am, my name is Sasha from Vodafone and im ringing to see if you are happy with our service and if there anything we can do to improve your experience. "

Sasha your timing couldn't have been more perfect! I think to myself.

"Oh ok, just milk and bread?" I reply.

"Um sorry, did you say milk and bread?" She sounds confused.

"Yep, not a problem."

"Sorry, what's not a problem?"

Poor girl has no idea she's involuntarily become part of my exit strategy.

"Ok mum, I'll see you in five."

"No, I'm Sasha!"

"Uh huh, bye mum."

I hang up on Sasha and look back at Skylar who's still on the couch. Why does he have to be so cute yet so bad at making out!

"Sorry that was mum, she needs the car and wants me to get a couple of things on my way home. Thanks for a great night, but I have to go," I say smiling at him.

I really did have a great time, well mostly.

"Sure, no worries. I had fun too," he says looking all smug.

He gets up off the couch to walk me to the door and puts his arm around my shoulder. When we get to his front door he spins me to face him then pushes me against the wall, his body pinning me there.

I've read books where this happens and it seems so spontaneous and sexy. But the reality is so different, I banged my head, Skylar is standing on my toes and when he leans down to kiss me it's all teeth and tongue again.

I gently nudge him back,

"I better get going."

"Yeah sorry, I'll text you later k."

"Sounds great," I say smiling.

I'm not put off by this, he did well for a few minutes earlier, I may just have to educate him on what is and what is definitely not a turn on.

"Look forward to doing this again," he says wiggling his eyebrows at me.

He really has no clue he sucks at this. Well, I could do with a pet project to keep my mind off a certain someone.

"Me too," I reply with a sweet smile whilst try to hide my hidden agenda.

"Night."

"Night, sweet dreams."

He leans in again but this time I'm ready and I give him a peck on the lips.

This is either going to be lots of fun or an epic fail, I guess only time will tell.
