Just a Tease

    Today is the day, I just know it. Today is the day, it has to be. I’ve waited too long as it is. My baby, my love, I can’t stand her not knowing my true feelings. I’m pretty sure she has the same romantic lust towards me, too. Her hints, her flirting. Her winks, her cleavage. Her beautiful smile, it just makes my day when I see it; it lightens up her rosy cheeks and shows just a hint of her perfect, bright teeth. That one day when I told her how fond I was of her red hair in a pony tail, I remember how she laughed away and rubbed my chin. She said I was too sweet. Ever since my love has wore that magical hair style. I know it is just for me, because she loves me just the way I love her.

    But today is the day I finally tell her how I feel, as if it isn’t obvious already. Will we be together forever?  I think we will. It is our destiny to be one.

    I am no longer nervous when I speak to her. To this goddess. I go to Rockington in the morning and chat with a couple of my acquaintances about the normal, casual topics that we always talk over. Just stuff to pass us through the day quicker. I’m waiting for my chance to get my sweetheart alone, so we can talk. Maybe more than talk.

    Then about an hour later I see her sitting at her desk, she is reading a book with a horse on the cover. I can tell she is really getting into her novel, boy; I’d hate to disturb her now. But, no … I have to do this. It is either now or never.

    I get her attention and when she looks up I smile, which makes her smile as well. God, I must be in Heaven. This is as good as it gets.

    I tell her I love her.

    Silence.

    Then she laughs and grabs my cheek.

    She tells me she loves me, too.

    Nope, I was wrong. This is as good as it gets.

    I’m filled with joy!  I lean on her lap and put my lips to hers. Her cherry lipstick tastes of victory. My body is overwhelmed with great ecstasy. I’m finally in my love’s arms.

    But then she pushes me off her lap and onto the hard marble floor.

    What is going on?  I thought this was going well?

    I ask her what is wrong and she tells me that I must have the wrong idea. I must be awfully confused. She doesn’t love me in that way, she says. She loves me as a … friend?  Oh, no, this just isn’t right. Not right indeed.

    My temper is unleashed as I grab my lunch and hurl it at her head. I call her a no good dirty *****. I hate her guts. I love her!  But no, she doesn’t love me. She’s just a tease. I want to kill her. I want to strangle her right here in front of everyone. It just isn’t fair!  

       ********************************************************************************

    Later on in the day I come home with a broken heart. My Mother is sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of freshly made green tea.

    “Hiya, Billy,” she says, “how was preschool?”

    “Okay, I guess,” I mumble, “but my teacher is kind of a *****, you know?  She’s just a tease.”

Posted by philneale1952 2008-08-08 05:16:08 Best I think this is your best yet. Nicely concealed until right at the end, and then BANG! (so to speak) Nice work Max. Phil + Report this comment
Posted by The 13th 2008-08-08 08:01:43 .... I thought it was written well and great description of his feelings. But my problem was the end.How old is pre-school in the states. It's 4 in Ireland.I dont think my kid would call her a bitch and a tease. I think it needs a bit of tweaking at the end.Maybe i'm wrong so if I am.My apologies. + Report this comment
Posted by Helpless 2008-08-08 08:54:48 .... Dear It was good. Well hidden. I think listing this as romance, instead of humor where it probably should be,conceals the ending and keeps it from being given away. I enjoyed it thoroughly. + Report this comment
Posted by Tarhead Mugwump 2008-08-08 12:16:16 another great max story. this is as good as it gets... a definitely sneaky max story, but great nonetheless. the title and the opening had me fooled to the end. nope, i was wrong - this is as good as it gets. write on max! + Report this comment
Posted by lemon 2008-08-08 12:35:00 .... lmao that was really funny. I thought it was going to be a stalker type thing, but your ending was much better haha. loved the last line when the little kid calls his preschool teacher a 'tease' + Report this comment
Posted by r.e.potter 2008-08-08 13:38:09 .... I started messing with girls in preschool as well. Never got to kissing though, it was just a split second feel of the boobie over the shirt and I was off and hiding. Thought it was cute, might have to try my hand at romance...nahhhh. + Report this comment
Posted by ams 2008-08-08 20:48:56 .... haha ya i saw it listed as romance and was like 'Zombie Punk, writing a ROMANCE?'i loved it though. the first few lines, i thought were coming from a grown up, but once it got to the part about the ponytail and runbbing the chin, i thought that the story was being told through an 8 year old. i thought that this was really good though + Report this comment
Posted by garyowen 2008-08-08 20:55:01 .... Realy good story and well written but for one tiny exception. I think i would change 'jumped' on her lap, to 'sat.' I thought at this point you were refering to the first person -so to speak- as a puppy dog and i started to unravel the deception from this point. + Report this comment
Posted by Something Indecent 2008-08-08 22:56:28 .... HA! Great twist. Nice obsession throughout. Made me want to be a stalker again. Also made me want to hit on my teachers again.....oh how time passes. Great delivery in my opinion there Max. + Report this comment
Posted by Juttabell^^ 2008-08-09 18:19:06 .... Highly entertaining twist. You did well in arranging the story for us to misconstrue until the shocking end. Assuming his teacher is not really a tease, him calling her that in his anger proves his immaturity (here, due to his young age); but I think this can be applied to adult relationships, how the love-stricken turned disillusioned can handle the blow immaturely with name calling or bubbling hatred... I liked this very much. Good job. + Report this comment
Posted by Ashutosh 2008-08-10 07:40:21 ... Funny and written well. But It didn't seem convincing to me. Also, it seemed somewhat made up, in the sense it didn't seem very natural to me. It was an easy read though and can make one smile. + Report this comment
Posted by allmine 2008-08-11 12:30:37 .... Should have seen it coming. I thought at first that he was in love with his sister's friend or something. Very cute. This will be my son I am sure. Though if he uses language like that, I will get out the soap bar... + Report this comment
Posted by thickblueline 2008-08-11 18:55:55 ...... Nice story. I didn't see the ending coming and I like to think of myself as a pretty perceptive person. In the first paragraph I would refine the descriptive words so they don't seem so repetitive. Otherwise, good job + Report this comment
Posted by Behind_the_Mask 2008-08-12 10:35:18 hmmm Did you post something like this before? Or am I just used to your writing? Oh well either way it was hilarious. Keep up the good work. + Report this comment
Posted by flowerclover 2008-08-12 15:22:50 What a surprise! What a twisted ending. I thought it was two teenagers. But it was a preschooler falling in love with his teacher! It took me by surprise that I bursted out laughting at the end! + Report this comment
