Day 3: Renae interviews Paul & Andrew

Safe in His Heart will be released on the 2nd of May, 2016.   In an attempt to get to know Paul and Andrew, I thought that they could take the 30-Day Writing Challenge.  Let’s see their answers.  I will be posting their responses on the blog daily, so scroll back if you missed some.

3.  Your first love and first kiss; if separate, discuss both

Paul:  **chuckles**  Okay.  I’ll confess.  You’re really going to laugh at this. Marcus Graham.  He played Wheels on E Street, remember?  Oh, yeah.  He was my first love.  I was madly, passionately, tragically in love with him and would tape the show and watch it over and over, just for a glimpse of his bare chest.  Yes.  He was a character on TV but I knew we were meant for each other.

My first kiss?  I knew I was gay from a pretty young age, but also knew that hiding it was the done thing.  So I didn’t tell anyone apart from my best friend, and I pretended to like girls for a long while.  So my first kiss was actually Melinda Black.  It was just after a blue-light disco and we were both thirteen.  **frowns**  I don’t remember much more about it.  It obviously didn’t leave a lasting impression.

Andrew:  My first kiss was when I was eighteen.  She was a nice girl who I had been dating for about two months.  Karen Sanderson.  I’d just driven her home after our Saturday night date and I was about to get out of the car and go around to open her door when she stopped me, leaned over and kissed me.  I remember being shocked.  I also remembered being scared.  Of her father, and of having to confess to my priest the following day.

My first love, though?  Yes.  He was my first heartbreak, so I had to love him.  His name was Trent.  There’s nothing more you really need to know about him apart from that, and that he lied to me – systematically and thoroughly.  I thought he…  Never mind.  That’s past.  It happened when I was in my early twenties.  Romantically I never fell in love again until this gorgeous guy I was seeing on a sexual basis wouldn’t get out of my head.  Damn man.

Paul:  Me?  Aww, shucks.  **winks**
