Little Moments

First Kiss

It started out normal, we played some games and watched a Disney movie, huddled in blankets, sitting close together.

We were perched at the end of his bed, when I caught him looking at me strangely. When I asked him what was wrong, he replied that it was nothing, but I noticed how his gaze flicked to my mouth, lingering for only a moment. I suddenly understood what he wanted.

I inched closer pressing my shoulder to his, letting my hand rest on his thigh.
I could hear his breathing get sharper, and felt a slight tremor of anticipation.

I let my other hand creep up his back, stroking his silky hair, he angled himself towards me, tilting his head, asking for permission. I turned my head to meet him, opening my mouth slightly in invitation, ignoring the nerves that coursed throughout me.

He put his mouth to mine, letting his hands rest comfortably on my hips. My arms went around his shoulders.

His lips were soft, and he tasted like peppermint and black licorice, an odd combination that worked. He didn't notice my shaking hands as I ran them through his hair.

I let myself lean in to him a little more, catching a whiff of his unique smell, cedar, cologne, and something heavier.....and distinctly male.

We kissed slowly for a few minutes, until he pulled back. Smirking he tucked my reddish-gold hair behind my ear, kissing me lightly on my nose.

"There will be more of that"

He told me, his dark eyes sparkled. I searched his face, pausing on his lips and jawline.

"I look forward to it"

I told him smiling.
First kiss? Nailed it.
