thetenspot: 070. Ten Kisses
.
01.) Bill Wilson stared down at the baby in the crib -- James, his first son -- until he couldn't stand it anymore and leaned down to press a kiss to the boy's cheek; the scratchy stubble on his face made James stir and Bill thought maybe he'd shave from now on.
02.) Skipping over first grade was a big deal and James knew he was going to have to be really cool to impress the older kids so when his mother insisted on not only accompanying him to his classroom on the first day but also giving him a huge hug and a kiss on the cheek, he was sure his life might as well be over.
03.) It took four whole months of pulling on Amy Knight's pigtails and stealing her pencils before she finally retaliated, chasing James around the playground until she trapped him against the brick wall of the school and kissed him right on the mouth, which he pretended to hate.
04.) "Stop hanging on me, Matty!" James complained, trying to shove his little brother away, but Matty only laughed and planted a sloppy wet kiss on James' cheek, making the older boy sigh, roll his eyes and give up.
05.) She was warm and soft, smelled of lavender and tasted like her cherry lip gloss.
06.) If this didn't buy him an A in Organic Chem, he thought he would very likely kill himself.
07.) "Leave me the fuck alone," House had said, rolling over to face the back of the sofa but Wilson stayed, silently looking around the half-empty apartment which was now devoid of any reminders of Stacy, until the other man's breathing indicated sleep and then he pulled a blanket around House's shoulders, hesitated, pressed a kiss to his temple and retreated to the abandoned bedroom to get some rest himself.
08.) He smiled as he pulled back to look at the woman who had just become his third wife but he still felt a mild sense of dread; it didn't feel any different than the first two times he'd done this...
09.) He knew she didn't believe for a second that he'd mixed up the art gallery dates but he wasn't sure she didn't mind until he tried to give her a chaste, friendly goodnight kiss on the cheek and she turned her head to make their mouths meet.
10.) It was little more than a quick peck on the lips but between the way she'd smiled at him before doing it and the confidence in it even though House was right there, Wilson couldn't help feeling his heart swell a little.
