Midnight Lunch: An Erotic Story about Microwave Omelets

By Robin Watergrove

She nods. I kiss her. No slow lean in, no feeling her out. No breathing close with our noses touching. I just tilt my head and swoop in. I catch her lips and press them full and flush with my own. So tough when I’m staring at a distance, so soft up close. It feels like I’m sharing my secret with a stranger. I’m soft inside, just like you, and I want sex. I don’t know why. Then I kiss her properly, but in reverse. First, I kiss her. Then, I pull back just far enough for our lips to brush. I touch her nose with mine and breathe in. I lean back to see her lips, then look up into her eyes. I mumble, light-headed with a thick tongue, “If you don’t want to do that, we don’t have to. We can just have midnight lunch and hang.”

Robin writes at a messy desk in a neat room. She loves sunshine, goofy jokes, and coffee popsicles. She writes to make sense of the world and tries to capture life as it is, believing emotional empathy to be a better medicine than soothing fantasy. She considers the highest praise of her work to be ‘I’ve felt that, too.’ Robin lives in the Pacific Northwest and tells everyone that it’s rainy and grey so she can have the lovely weather all to herself. She doesn’t have any pets but there is this one neighborhood cat that badly wants to live in her house. They hang out on her porch instead.Join her mailing list here: http://eepurl.com/bv3cPL
