Feeling Touchy

The next time you want to hug me, kiss me, even plant a peck on my cheek, please give me ample notice. Looks like a 20

second forewarning looks fine, but if you look at my adorable face and just decide to grab me and plant a kiss, sorry, that will not work. Most of the time, my fleeing instincts will be stronger than you can imagine. Time and time again, with a 100 per cent confidence, my fleeing instincts have made me turn the wrong way in those few milliseconds, resulting in the peck or kiss always landing in the wrong place, somewhere east of my right cheek near my ears despite being targeted at the center of the cheek. Why am I telling you all this? Because back in India, I met this aunty after a long time, and she was so happy to see me that she got all teary eyed while saying goodbye. Then she must have decided to kiss my cheek, and hug me as well, but I was not aware of her intentions. Being a very touch sensitive person and probably programmed in a way that every potential chance of contact looks like an enemy attack or a bee sting to me, I shifted instinctively, meaning I did not plan it while I did it. Must I mention I am also half a feet taller than her. So while she was targeting my cheek, looking up to me as if she was ready to hug a tree, I moved instinctively, making the kiss land and disappear somewhere mid air. She tried to hug me in a few seconds after that futile attempt of her kiss, but I was not forewarned, and instead of bowing myself for her to hug me, I moved again, this time in a way that instead of holding on to my frame, she ended up grabbing my boobs. Not a good feeling I must say, especially coming from someone your mom’s age. All she had to do was inform me of her intentions of a farewell kiss and hug, and I would have willingly obliged. Instead here I was confused of her intentions, that ended in making her kiss me in the air, grab my assets, and look like a fool. She did not know what to do, so she started crying. I understand she would miss me and all, but I also suspect her tears were mostly the result of a misdirected kiss on the cheek and a failed attempt to hug me. What could I do?

So the next time before you do it, just let me know, okay? :)
