Dear Diary,

I met someone today. His name's Duff. Well, his real name is Michael, but everyone calls him Duff. He's the electrician that fixed Mom and Dad's wiring.
He's really nice. He's handsome too. Tall, around 6'2, chiseled cheek bones and a jaw line that could cut marble. Light, granny-smith apple green eyes, and a soft smile.
He's 20. Dad said to stay away since I barely turned 18. But I don't know that it'll be that easy. Considering we live in a relatively small suburb and he has to come back next week.
We'll see. He gave me his number, and I gave him mine. I'm afraid to call. I might sound stupid. I'll probably sound like an idiot if he calls. I just hope he isn't disappointed.
He's everything I dream of. Everything I want and hope for. Everything that could completely fuck up my life.

"Do you remember the day you met me?"
I sniffled.

"I couldn't forget even if I wanted to."

"What were you thinking?"

"That you were everything I'd ever wanted, needed, and dreamed of."
Duff said monotonously.

"Sounds like bullshit."
I chuckled sadly.

"What were you thinking?"
He responded gravely.

"That you could be everything that ruined my life."

Dear Diary,

I kissed him today. It was my first kiss and I was probably really bad at it. Duff said I was perfect, but I think he just said that to be nice. I hope not, I really wanted it to be good for him too.
It was perfect for me. I mean, he was so gentle and patient. He held my hand and, Jesus, he made me feel so special.
We we're stopped on that cliff overlooking the city. The one on the way back from the mall. We got ice cream then stopped there and he grabbed my hand. He asked if he could kiss me and I said yes.
It was magic. It sounds stupid, but it felt like something you see in the movies. I just hope everything plays out like it does in the movies.

-

"I'll never get tired of kissing you."
Duff whispered once we pulled away.

"Me either."
I giggled.

"Remember when I kissed you for the first time?"
He asked, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

"I was so nervous."
I nodded.

"You were perfect. You are perfect."
Duff said softly.

"So are you."
I smiled.

Duff smiled and connected his lips to mine again.
