FIRST KISS
Oh, god. Can you transport me to any somewhere else? I never watched this scene with a boy sitting next to me. I’m having a different sensation between our thighs while watching this sex scene with Ryder. I could have skipped the part. But I didn’t. Instead, I choose to watch it till the next scene comes. Unfortunately, the scene continues for more than five minutes.
” Are you enjoying this scene, Emily? I thought you are a bookworm who doesn’t like these things.” Ryder asked, trying to make eye contact with me. I choose not to look at him.
” I’m a bookworm but I like these things. Can’t I watch a sex scene?” I said. But I think I sounded more like ‘ Can’t I watch this scene even though I never kissed a boy or had sex.’
” Yeah, you can watch it. But it’s all a theoretical knowledge. Don’t you want to experience it? ” He said. At last, he made me look at me. Why am I getting nervous over this silly thing? Maybe, somethings going to happen.
” I… I.. don’t..” I stammered. Then I decided to lie. Just how I lied to Jason that I had sex. Before I could say it, Ryder pressed his lips on my lips. Time stopped in a collision of senses when his lips met my lips.
I didn’t stop him. This is wonderful. I can’t believe that I had my first kiss with Ryder. The boy next door. I know he probably kissed many girls and I won’t be anyone special. But he becomes the memory of my first kiss. His lips are soft and I started embracing the moment. He slowly kept his hand over my head, stroking my hair. I’m not nervous anymore.
” Did you enjoyed it? I’m sure this is your first kiss.” He said like he read my mind. What’s the point in saying this? Of course, he knows that he’s my first kiss cause I bet he has a lot of experience.
” No. I already had a boyfriend. It’s not my first kiss.” I said like it doesn’t matter. I don’t know why he kissed me all of a sudden. So, I’m not going to show my weakness.
” Really?” he raised his eyebrow. He’s still holding me. I waited for his next response with my fastly beating heart.
” Let me show something,” he said, leaning closer to kiss me again. When he kissed me again, I felt like he set my heart on fire. I don’t know something like this can happen in just a day. This is not a Romeo-Juliet story.
The next moment, I’m lying on my bed with Ryder on top of me. He muttered something before kissing me again. ” Did your boyfriend really kissed you like this?”
Then I gave more access to him to slip his tongue into my mouth. As I don’t have any experience, I was following whatever he’s doing. Then, he bit my lips lightly.
” Did he did that too?” he said again, moving his one hands down to my short skirt. Before he could slip his hands inside my dress, I told the truth.
” Okay. Fine. I never kissed until you. How did you know the truth?” I admitted. Ryder laughed when I admitted the truth. He sat up and trying to stop his laughter. I can adore this laugh for hours but he’s laughing at me.
” What??”
” Nothing. I know the truth from just the way you got nervous.”
” Then why didn’t you told me that I’m lying?” I glared at him. We are still sitting close to each other.
” I want to hear the truth from me.”
“You know what? I enjoyed the kiss,” he added.
” Um… I… I’m going to turn it off. Let’s not watch it.” I blushed and changed the topic. Then we got more time to talk with each other. We almost lost the time track. It’s nearly 2:00 am when he sneaked out of my room. I went to sleep thinking about my first kiss with Ryder.
…..
The next day, I went to Edgewood high. As I expected, there’s no sign of Pearl. I’m worried about her. What would have happened? I looked at the entrance, waiting for her. But I saw Ryder entering the class early. Wow, that’s an improvement.
” I thought you always skip classes?” I asked him when he looked at me.
” Yeah, that’s the truth still now, sweetheart. I came to keep this burden down,” He said, dropping his bag. He waved at me and gone with his friend putting his hand on his shoulder.
When did he start calling me sweetheart? I wondered. The rest of the class was boring. I went to the restroom to wash my face. I’m feeling sleepy as I spend the night talking with Ryder till 2:00 am.
Suddenly, I can hear someone sobbing over somewhere near to me. I followed the sound and found out where it’s coming from. The restroom’s door is unlocked. I’m not sure whether I can enter or not. Because I recognize the cry.
I opened the door without a warning. ” Pearl??” My eyes widened.
” What are you doing here, Em? Did I told you to find me?” she snapped, rubbing her eyes. Her eyes are red from crying. There’s a black mark below her eyes. She didn’t sleep.
” I wasn’t planned on finding you. But here you are… what happened, Pearl? You can’t hide me forever. Let me help me. Tell me whatever it is going on in your life. I made a mistake by giving you some space. You don’t need to be alone. I’m here for you.” I told her. Tears are flowing in her eyes continuously.
” He broke up with me, Em,” she threw her arms around me and started crying. I don’t know how to reassure her. I know nothing about relationships. But I can’t see her like this.
” That senior Andrian… right? does it happen because of studies? You said he’s completing his studies in Edgewood High.” I asked her the reason.
” No. He’s a lair. He lied to me. He broke up with me for a popular girl. He left me so he could be with her.”
