"They both felt something so strong, even if it was just one kiss. For, if one kiss could make them feel that way, imagine what a lifetime of kisses could do..."

His name was called, making him look up, still hovering over her.
He swallowed, "What can I do for you, sir?"
"I just wanted to tell you that you've done a wonderful job with your students, these past 3 semesters. And we'd love to have you back again next year." the principal said.
He smiled, and nodded. "We will have to see how the university feels about that. I don't know if they'll let me work with the kids again."
"You make sure to persuade them, Zayn. We've really loved having you so far. You guys have fun."
The principal turned, and walked back into the school.
'Zayn looked back down at her, with a nervous smile planted on his lips.
"That was different." he said, laughing.
She nodded, and smiled.
"Where were we? Ah, yes. I believe I was about to kiss you." he stated, looking deeply into her eyes.
She felt her heart skip a beat, when he reached up and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I think the ice is melting, due to the body heat. It's starting to soak through my jacket." she said.
He laughing heartily, then got off of her.
He extended his hand to her, helping her back to her feet.
His grip was strong, pulling her up and into his chest.
She found that her hands were once again on his chest, while his were on her back.
"You're really beautiful, and you should know that." he whispered.
She blushed, "Thank you. So are you."
He chuckled. "Wow, thank you. I've always wanted to be beautiful." he said sarcastically.
She laughed, and stood on her toes, leaning up to his lips.
His breathing was sporadic, while hers was hitched in her throat.
He leaned down to her, their lips so close, before she touched his face, turning his face to the side, and placing a sweet, and sincere kiss to his cheek.
He groaned, looking down at her. "Why? Why would you do that to me, baby?"
She looked up at him quickly, at the use of a new name. One that seemed a bit more intimate.
"I'm sorry. But I had to. Are you disappointed now?"
He shrugged. "First kiss, I take it?"
She giggled. "Well, that would depend on whether kissing your mom and dad before bed counts. Or that kid from like, kindergarten. Would either of those count?"
He chuckled. "Not quite. Because it's not really a 'kiss', doll."
He suddenly leaned down, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss.
Her hands moved up to his jaw, as she deepened the kiss.
It lasted for only about 30 seconds, but for them both, it felt like an eternity.
And that was when she knew that she'd never have another kiss like that. She was glad that he was her first kiss.
Their breaths were ragged as they continued staring at each other.
"That...was a kiss." he said to her, smiling.
