I got to know him pretty well over the 5 months we were in that class, and two days before school let out, we sort of asked each other out. It was awkward, and it didn't even seem like we were dating, haha, just better friends. We hugged a couple of times, and exchanged phone numbers, and then it was the last day of school!! We walked out of gym together, right after they announced it was SUMMER, and we were standing under this tree, and we hugged. Then, he pulled away, and leaned in and pecked me. God, it was so awkward. He said bye, and we turned around and walked different ways.
To celebrate this wonderful day of expressing love, I’m sharing one of my favourite kissing scenes to write. It was a toss between the kiss in His Treasure and the one in A Valentine Challenge.
We went into the backyard and sat on a swing. I was freezing, so he sat a little closer. Slowly, without me really noticing, he edged closer and closer to me until his arm was around me. My heart was pounding like crazy, and my my mind went completely blank. I cuddled in closer and put my head on his collarbone (he smelled so sweet!) at this point neither of us was speaking.
I turned my head up a little bit at a time. And just when I was about to give up, he looked deep into my eyes. We both smiled and, at the same time, closed the 2 inches between us and kissed... The longest 10 seconds of my life, and the sweetest too. We kissed exactly 4 times, and then I said I had to go (my plan to keep him wanting more :P He said, "no, don't go" and tried to kiss me again, but I just touched his cheek and stood up. He walked my to where my parents picked me up. We dated for 8 months, and we went our own ways. But I will always remember that kiss... - Eva, Portland, OR
