Fairy Tale Men and A Bubble Gum Kiss

And he smells the bubble gum on her breath, and he sees her nervously moving the pink piece around in her mouth unsure of what to do- should she swallow it whole, but he’s seen it, she can’t – should she pull it out and throw it into the trash. He looks at her insecure face, he says “Lets have our first bubble gum kiss”. Relieved she smiles and laughs and swings her hair. 

And their two young faces move together and their lips melt like ice into water and it tastes like bubble gum. For a moment the taste and the kiss are perfect. They playfully pass the bubble gum, she smiles as it moves from her mouth to his from his lips onto her lips. She timidly opens her eyes so that she can see his face next to hers. His warm breath pours into her mouth, and she breathes him into her lungs. 

She realizes that the flavor of the bubble gum is disappearing from their kiss. It’s long been over but he won’t stop. He keeps shoving the dried, shriveled up piece of bubble gum down her throat. She hates the bubble gum. She hates the dried up taste, but she can’t tell him to stop. He just keeps shoving his tongue and his bubble gum and that dried up taste into her mouth. And she can’t tell him to stop because it is their first bubble gum kiss, and she does not want to ruin it. And the wad of dried up bubble gum seems to get larger and larger and he keeps pushing it further and further down into her mouth. The ball of dried up foul tasting bubble gum lodges in her throat and she can’t breath and he keeps kissing her. He keeps kissing her choking face, and he doesn’t even notice.
