Esperanza got kissed at work on her first day. She went to give a man a kiss on the cheek, but then he grabbed her and kissed her on the lips.

Esperanza got kissed on her first day of work at a photo development center. She was fooled by an old man who wanted a kiss on the cheek, but thats not what she gave him when he grabbed her face and would not let go.
