A First
My glances at his face were brief. I tried to focus on anything but him, which was difficult to do considering that 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 biceps 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.

Wow. What a beautifully written piece this is. I’m left feeling envious, wishing my first kiss hadn’t been an ambush in the car of a practical stranger. ~sigh~ How beautiful.

Pulled me right into the emotion of it, you did! That almost could have been a scene right out of the Twilight novels! And I totally mean that as a compliment… since I’ve been totally immersed in Twilight again this week.
I wish I could remember my first kiss so intimately. But, like many other things of my teenage years, I’ve pushed those types of memories into near oblivion. In fact, I think I’d have to go searching in my embarrassing teenage journal in order to remember exactly when that first kiss was. And that’s not something I’m willing to subject myself to right now, ugh. I always thought I was a smart teenager, but reading my journal makes me want to burn it to protect myself from my descendants….
And since that’s a pretty big tangent from your original post, I think I’ll just sum it up and say that I enjoyed your writing very much! :)

So sweet. Love it. Those are the kisses worth remembering! Others…um, not so much. But this sweet post brought back good memories for me. And you’re thinking, “geez lady, how many guys have you kissed?!?” The answer? I have no idea. Sad, but true.
Ooh! I took chills reading that. What a great passage of memory.
Mmmmm… and a rite of passage too. A first kiss! Wow.
*sigh* Ohhhh, that’s so beautiful! Mmmmmm. *sigh again*

Very sweet, and a great description! It’s complicated moving those relationships from platonic to passionate. Sounds like you did it just right! (I especially loved it when you buried your face in his chest, hoping he hadn’t heard.)
