| Mon amour. |
This is a very unusual story.
It begins with a tender and affectionate moment between a young couple as they share their first kiss (hence, the title). The narrator provides a cogent argument in the opening paragraph that jealousy is inextricably linked to love, so she asks him if he has ever kissed another woman before. Now, this is where one might expect his answer to follow certain narrative trajectory but the author subverts these reader expectations. Instead, we get a lengthy poetic flashback to his halcyon days during a school field trip where he locked lips with his first crush. But get this – it wasn't just any regular smooch fest. Nope, it was with none other than a gorgeously sculpted drinking fountain in the shape of a woman, looking all ethereal and elegant! Now, that's what I call a plot twist served with a side of whimsy. Additionally, his sensual experience with the statue contains plenty of sexual metaphors and innuendos.
See what I mean? Very unusual.
