My
glances at his face were brief. I tried to focus on anything but him,
which was difficult to do considering he was talking to me. His
voice sounded so quiet and distant compared to the thrum of blood
sounding in my ears. At the same time I ached with anticipation I
trembled with fear. He knew I’d never been kissed by another boy in all
my 17 years. He respected that and had told me he wouldn’t dream of
kissing me without my permission. That was when I wasn’t sure I wanted
to be kissed yet. When I wasn’t sure if things would continue to
progress.
Now
they had and my feelings for him had deepened immensely. He was my
close friend and I was insanely attracted to him. I had to kiss him! But
I had no experience. What would he think?
He paused from whatever it was he had been saying and asked if I was ok. My anxiety must have been showing on my face.
“Yeah,”
I reassured him and then I hugged him close. As we held each other
tight I quietly said the words I had been thinking all night, “I really
want to kiss you, bad.” Then I squeezed him tighter hoping maybe he
hadn’t heard me, or that maybe I could stay in his embrace forever and
not have him look at me with my face red enough to notice even in the
moonlight.
But
I felt his arms slacken, and then his hands gripping my shoulders as he
pushed me strongly away from him. I had no choice but to look into his
eyes as he held me there. And then his lips warm and gentle were molding
into mine. It was brief but sweet and it sent tingles all through me.
He pulled away looking at me with that gorgeous smile and I knew he had
loved it as much as I had.
