My first
kiss happened when I was 17. I had had a huge crush on one this guy (let’s call
him a, 16) for a while but I was pretty sure he didn't feel the same way. I was
at work one day (I used to work at a bookstore by our school) and he came by. I
was so nervous because I really liked him. He came up to me and I was behind
the counter and I pretended I was still reading but I couldn't even concentrate
because he was so close to me. When he got to the counter he looked up and said
“Excuse me, I really wanted to get a book for this girl I like, but I’m not
sure what she likes, can you help me?” I was really disappointed at first
because I thought he liked someone else, but I agreed to help anyway because it
was my job. So we went into the back part of the store and I showed him some
books and then I showed him a copy of ‘Franny and Zooey’ and told him I really
liked that one so he went ahead and bought. After I went to go ring him up, he
got out a pen and scribbled something into the book and handed back to me. I
was really confused and said “No, no you keep this” but he just laughed and
then he leaned over the counter and kissed me it was amazing his lips were so
soft and I could feel fireworks everywhere once he pulled away he smiled and
said “see you later” before walking out but I was frozen I couldn't believe
what just happened I opened the book he gave me and he wrote “Somebody told me
you’d like this book” and I just couldn't stop smiling.
