Dusk Till Dawn

Chapter 7: The First Kiss and Other Cute things.

The most interesting moment in a teenage girl or boy's life is when they have their first kiss. Once a friend of mine had told me that I had life of a teenage drama movie. This is only the story of one boy, and it is supposed to be only about us, maybe if I write a sequel to this I'll let you in on the cross roads I was in between guys, the reoccurrence of exes, the constant people coming up to me and confessing their feeling and many more. Let's deviate from the topic for a while maybe?

He never knew I had gotten so many proposals or people crushing on me maybe because he had not allowed me to talk to any boys, yes you heard it right, not to talk to any boys. It was a mutual decision since we were both extremely protective over each other and the other person's feelings mattered more to us than talking to other people. But yes there were other people still crushing on me and stuff like that. Those who used to take up the courage to come up to me and confess were always turned down. And those who didn't confess it was loud and clear in my whole grade, Dhruvi Kangutkar is committed to him and no one else stands a chance. Even his school knew, even he had people crushing over him and for everyone who knew him, his heart only belonged to his victory.

But things changed when he went to college. As far as I know he didn't tell anyone about me. He was actually leading a different life there, and I said nothing. I was okay with everything, everything was worth it because he loved me, only me.

I remember the first time he mentioned me, not tag, but mention, in his story. It was roughly more than half a year ago. We had a big fight on chat. And there was a trend going in which we were given a relation, like best friend or girlfriend or something like that and we had to answer the questions related to it. And we had just had a fight and he had put a story. Relation: Girl Best friend, questions were like, do you have photos together, answer: quite a few and an embarrassed emoji, Have you guys kissed, answer: yes (he admitted it, it indirectly even implies that we might be dating), who's taller? Answer: me (as in him), who is smarter and who is funnier and stuff like that and I just couldn't stay mad anymore!! He has the best ways to calm down my anger. Whenever I cry he used to look at me laugh and point out how cute I looked, I used to find it annoying because a boyfriend is supposed to hug you and say it'll be alright (and he did so when it was a severe reason on which I cried, I remember when I was crying and he hugged me and was stroking my hair and he said that, "I'm right here, it'll be alright" remembering that used to always calm me down when I felt like crying and he wasn't around.) but the way he looked at me and smiled made me smile too.

I think that covers our 'other cute things' and no not only these but there were numerous cute things he used to do for me and I think I never even did half of that, but I tried to. Small cute things is what keeps a relationship alive. Somewhere along the lines he stopped should've seen the signs. But there were minte moments in those times that I smile remembering. 

So... the first kiss. Well for all those who know me know this clearly, I'm a flirt and I use the common method of challenging, pushing around and then fake giving up to get what I want.

I asked him that would he kiss me if he wanted to. And he said yes, I was like really and he went, "yeah, a cheek kiss right?" I was like, "no!!!! On the lips!" he didn't reply anything. I persuaded him, challenged him and he was like I don't think I would want to. That was challenging and pushing. And we were going to a secluded place for our daily hug and cheek kiss. And I gave up, this time for real. I told him if he didn't want to he can give me a kiss on the cheeks like usual and that would be fine. And I did NOT at ALL expect him to do it because he was a little shy in physical affection and god did that change over years! But anyways my body was towards him and my cheek facing him, like I was looking away because I wanted to make it easier for him to kiss my cheek, he grabbed my face, you know by scooping my cheeks turned my face towards him and kissed me right on my lips. We always keep having this conflict for him the kiss lasted for minimum 5-6 seconds and for me it was 17 seconds long. For me the time was slowed. I remember the way his lips felt till date, and yes we have kissed for many  instances before too but that particular and the one where we French kissed the first time I remember every breath, the skin where his hands skin touched mine, every small detail, but let's keep a few things private shall we?

So this was it for this chapter, seems like a dream doesn't it? I hope I never wake up.
