The First Kiss Memory


I grew up in you could say a 'very traditional family' where my parents didn't allow us to 'date' someone until we were in university. When I was a teenager, people say I was beautiful and smart enough, but since I knew my family regulation and I was not a size 6, I was invisible to guys, and also thinking nobody returned my interest. I started to give up my wishing that anyone could ever want me, and I gave up on ever being kissed by a guy in my senior high years:).

At 18 and never been kissed, I started my college years. In this college, I met a guy who actually pursued me and got my number from a friend. We started talking and he was the sweetest guy ever, everything I had been looking for! We hung out a couple of times, but I was still pretty shy and nothing had really ever happened between us.

One evening, we went to drive around the town to enjoy the city light in the serene beautiful evening. It was really romantic, with it being evening and the sun setting and all...makes me breathless just thinking about it! So as we went on driving the city road, he slowly slipped his fingers between mine, making my heart skip a beat. I was glad we weren't looking at each other because my face was probably redder than my shirt!

When finally we reached my home, he slowed down the car and we stopped. As we stopped, he turned to face me and got pretty close to me, still holding my hands. He looked down, smiling at me with his beautiful brown eyes. He said, "So, you've really never been kissed?" At this point, I knew it was coming. "Nope, not yet…" I replied. "Well, would you like me to change that?" he asked. "Yes." I barely got it out because I was so nervous, excited, and anxious all at the same time. He then leaned his face in toward mine to kiss me.

As our lips touched, I suddenly felt like everything in the world was mine and in reach. I felt so secure and perfect, just standing there on that beautiful evening kissing. My first kiss. Ironically, the best part was when we were pulling away from each other. He ever-so gently kissed my cheek, right next to my lips. It gave me chills down through my toes and it was the best feeling in the world. I got a warm sensation in me and a feeling almost like I couldn't breathe. And that was the time I proved to myself that first kiss was always the sweetest and breathtaking indeed:)
