The amber light bathed his brown skin in a beautiful, warm glow that seem to also dance in his whiskey brown eyes. His curls bounced on top of his head as he chuckled, his lips brushing against mine as he leaned in closer. The night was cool and crisp around us, the summer fading to fall in the small, college town. I smiled and blushed, the blood warming my cheeks, as I trailed my hand to his neck,pulling him closer. Nerves and exhilaration flooded through me as he placed his hand on my waist and pulled me closer.
I don’t know how to kiss him. Will he notice? The doubts creeping, like shadows as the day slips away.
But almost as an answer, he pressed his lips against mine, gentle like a question that I was too shocked to answer. My lips fumbled to try kiss back, resulting in a more clumsy lip smacking. I pulled back embarrassed, my voice coming out quietly,”Sorry, I don’t know how to kiss you back.”
He chuckled as he held me and whispered in my ear. “That’s ok, we can just practice,” a mischievous smile playing on his lips. I smiled then and feeling emboldened, I kissed his gorgeous smile. He was shocked at first, then he smiled into the kiss. He then tilted his head and deepened the kiss, sending goosebumps down my arm. He tasted of summer nights, warm whiskey, and tobacco, a taste I didn’t know I wanted.
We finally broke, speaking softly to each other, our words carried in the summer breeze as we made our way back to the dorms.
Authors’s Note:
So this is loosely based on my first kiss, which happened in college, perhaps a bit later than most I guess. But long story short, it was with a guy who was a couple years older and it was nice. But for me kisses aren’t just about the kiss itself, whether its someone you love or just someone you met it’s an intimate moment of being in each other’s space. I don’t know just me. I kinda wanted to convey that and play around with writing such a scene ‘cuz I have never done that, well at least not here or on the wattpad. And I am also in need of hugs during a global pandemic so I’m writing these things everywhere...
