I make my way through the loud Princeton train station towards my designated train for Long Island. I place my ticket into the machine and walk onto the platform to wait. The children running around so close to the train track make my heart stop every couple of minutes.
My phone rings and I take it out of my pocket. Josh.
"Hey Josh." I answer immediately.
"Hey baby girl, are you at the station yet?" He says.
"Yeah I'm actually getting on the train right now ill be there in about 40 minutes."
"Oh baby, I cant wait to see you and hold you, we're finally meeting in person!" He yells into the phone, causing me to giggle in response.
"I wish I could have gone to get you instead, the train can be dangerous. Be careful baby." He says making my heart flutter.
"Yeah Josh, i'll call you when I'm close." We say our goodbyes and hang up.
I make my way to a seat further away from the entrance and put my stuff down and take out my book, "A Thousand Splendid Suns".
I continue reading as the train makes stops until suddenly someone sits right next to me. I shift over a bit to get further from the male who has placed himself by me.
"Hello" he says. I mumble a "Hi" in response and continue to read.
"What's your name? Im Brandon." He says making me look at him.
"Allison" I say.
I've never been a social person so talking to people can be awkward. I only ever talk to Josh.
I met Josh on omegle but then we started texting and we have been for about 2 years.
I decide to text him and let him know ill be there soon.
Brandon continues to talk to me and I respond with curt answers. We finally make it and I get up along with Brandon and make my way out. I forget about Brandon as I look around for Josh but I don't see him around.
"Well it was nice meeting you, we should talk some time. See you around" He says handing me a small paper I open it up and find his number on it. I look up to respond but he's already walking away.
I continue to scavenge the station and my eyes meet for the first time with Josh. I stare at his green-blue eyes for what feel like forever. Tears brim my eyes for some reason and I start to run towards him. I jump into his arms not caring that people are staring at us. I bury my face in the crook of his neck and smell him. He smells amazing.
"You smell good" I mumble into his skin. He laughs and replies, "you smell amazing" we both laugh as he lets me down.
We continue to hug in the middle of the station for a good 10 minutes until he decides to go. He takes my bag from me as we make our way out.
He helps me into his pickup truck and begins to drive.
"You're so beautiful." He says looking over at me and taking my hand in his. I feel my cheeks become heated.
The ride to his apartment is quiet, a comfortable silence fills the car while I trace patterns on his hand with my finger.
We get to an apartment complex and he parks the truck in front of a white building.
We walk into the apartment and I instantly feel a warm feeling fill me. He leads me inside towards a light brown couch he sits down and pulls me down into his lap. He cups my face so that I'm looking directly into his beautiful eyes.
"You are so beautiful, how did I get so lucky?" He smiles at me as my cheeks become hot again. I lean down onto him and hide my face on his chest. His chest shakes as he laughs at me. I look up at him and spot his pink lips. I want to kiss him so bad. I sit up again and lean down until our lips touch. He puts his hands on my waist as mine go around his neck. We don't really kiss our lips just simply touch. Im afraid to tell him I've never kissed anyone any further.
"I-I... I've never kissed anyone" I say as my cheeks heat up again. I look down but he lifts my chin up using his index finger.
"Don't worry baby girl, no need to get nervous ill show you how, Ok?" He says looking at me with a smile. I nod and shift my position so that I'm straddling him. He holds my waist again and pulls me towards him. He reconnects our lips for a couple seconds its the same but then he sticks out his tongue and slides it across my bottom lip, I've read enough fan fiction to know that I'm supposed to let him in. I part my lips and his tongue begins to explore my mouth.
He pulls away only to mumble "for a beginner that was the best kiss I've ever had"
We stop after about 10 minutes and he puts in a movie for us to watch. As we're watching the movie I feel him staring at me as I laugh. I look at him and smile.
"I love you" he whispers. My heart stops we've said it through texts before but never actually said it. My heart begins to leap in my chest.
"I love you" I say back staring him directly in the eyes.
•••
We ended up falling asleep on the couch while watching our third movie.
Today we were going to go to the boardwalk. He lived about 20 minutes away which was so cool.
We went to McDonalds for some breakfast and then decided to go to the pier. Josh payed $60( against my will) so that we could get on any rides that we wanted to.
"Oh can we go on that one? Please?" I say pulling on his arm. He smiles at me and pecks my lips.
"Of course, baby girl." He drapes his arm around my shoulders as we walk toward the ride. We stand in line for a couple minutes, the guy at the ride takes Josh's hand and scans his bracelet. Josh stops to wait for me however the man tells him he cant so he makes his way inside.
The guy then proceeds to grab my hand and scan it however he tells me to wait a minute and walks away. He comes back and hands me a piece of paper. Somehow I already think I know what it is. I walk inside and find Josh waiting.
I take his hand and open the paper with the other.
Call me, beautiful xxx-xxx-xxxx
I knew it. I show Josh the paper but then through it on the ground. He simply smiles at me and helps me in to a seat.
We spend the day at the boardwalk until we get hungry so we head out to eat.
After eating we get back to his apartment.
He unlocks the door, still holding my hand. In what felt like a millisecond I'm pinned to the wall and he's kissing me, obviously I kiss back. We end up going farther then expected.

The next morning I wake up with an arm draped on my waist and a light snoring by my right ear. I smile to my self at the thought of yesterday. Josh was my first, and it was amazing.
I slowly turn around so that I'm facing him. I look up at his gorgeous face. I start to trace patterns on his chest while listening to his steady breathing.
He starts to chuckle which confuses me, he must be dreaming. I continue to trace stars and hearts on his chest.
"You're tickling me baby girl" he says looking down.
"Oh sorry" I stop and look up at him. His soft kissable lips are just calling me, so i lean up and kiss him.
"I love you, Ally" he tells me.
"I love you, Josh."
