“Like, for someone so quiet he took charge, holding my face. Kissing me like I was his next meal and he couldn’t get enough of me. And I swear… fireworks went off in my mind. I felt his kiss everywhere if you know what I mean… like,everywhere.”
Wow, just… Was she just saying what I think she was saying? Fireworks, everywhere. I didn’t even think that was possible. I wanted that in a kiss and it certainly didn’t happen when I kissed Huxley. It still felt amazing though.
“Okay, well I told you mine, now you spill. Who was it? Was it amazing? Was it bad? Tell me now before I come home and shake it out of you.”
I laughed. Like she could come home, she was in a whole other state right now. I nervously played with the hem of my tee as I thought back to the kiss. Was it good? Bad? I had nothing to compare it to. Not really. It was my first real kiss, not some sloppy-boy-from-camp kiss.
“Well… it was my first real kiss—” Destiny squealed down the line. My ear was ringing.
“Tell me who, right now,” she demanded, and I laughed as I pictured her stomping her foot.
“I would have but you cut me off. But like, real as in it was a peck. Nothing like you had withLyell.” When she scoffed at that last part I smiled and continued. “I kissed Huxley Moore and it was amazing.” Because it was, even if it was just a peck.
She squealed again and I couldn’t wipe the grin from my face even if I tried. I laughed. “Ah, yeah. So, I think he likes me… like more than friends.”
He had to. You didn’t just kiss your friend, even if it was just a peck,right?
