The First Kiss

I was going to go for a drink in Ginglik with a chum last night, but because of all the roadworks around it, it seemed nigh on impossible to get to so we went to Albertine's instead.

It looked very cosy with the lights coming through the condensationy windows and we shuffled in through the door away from the bitter cold of the dark December night.

We had some wine and a pudding, and then another friend joined us and we were having a lovely time which then took a turn for the hilarious.

A couple who had been sitting in the corner of the tiny wine bar had stepped outside and started snogging eachother's faces off. In the window. We could all clearly see. She was pressed up against the window and we could see in detail his hand squishing between the window pane and her ass to give it a good squeeze as he thrust his face into hers repeatedly. We could also see his face, and his glasses steaming up. I think they must've been a bit smashed and not realised that they were up against a window and not a wall.

We sat there commentating on how things were going and whether we should all go outside and start kissing against the window with them or whether we should stand with our faces pressed up against the window on the inside so as to really freak them out when they opened their eyes, or whether we should score them and hold up cards sayind '7' or '8' for artistry and technical ability.

As we were laughing raucously at our own jokes they came back into the bar and we just couldn't stop laughing. They were so enamoured of each other and full of endorphins from kissing in the freezing cold that they didn't even notice. When they were back in their corner they were really awkward with each other, in a very sweet way, as if they didn't want anyone in the bar to realise they had just been pashing big time. They sat, barely touching hands, not really saying much. We all wanted to shout 'go to a bedroom you amorous young things!' at them, but that's simply not done in this day and age. Instead, when we left we grabbed each other's asses in the window for a bit to satirise them. We found this unbearably funny, whereas I'm sure they didn't even notice.
