Sweet Sixteen

"How did you know?" I asked, not sure I wanted the answer. I thought I had been careful. I thought she only wanted to be my friend and that she wouldn't fall in love with me. Now I can't help but to love her too. And she knows. I was afraid this would happen. It all started with a question. "What is something you want to do before you die?" she asked. I had to think for a moment because that was a tough question. "Well I certainly want to skydive one day," I respond, "What about you?" She asked me not to laugh at her answer. "I really want to kiss a girl, and I really want it to be you."

So, we did. After that I tried to hide my growing feelings, but she could feel how I felt. I wanted to be more careful with my heart, but after our first kiss, it surrendered. The night it happened we laid in the dark on my bedroom floor. Even though I couldn't see her body, I could feel it laying next to mine. Her face was so close to mine I could hear her breathing. Time stood still. I was no where else but in that moment with her. My heart was racing and my body was shaking. So much anticipation, I couldn't stand it any longer. Finally, her lips touched mine. I pulled away for a moment, but then came back for more. Her tongue was the taste of forbidden fruit and I died over and over and over again.
