Three weeks had passed since the day we met, and the air between us had changed.Every message, every call, every shared laugh seemed to pull us closer, tightening a thread that neither of us could ignore anymore.
It was a Saturday — quiet, warm, and filled with anticipation.That morning, my phone buzzed.
"My parents are going out this afternoon. Do you want to come over and watch a movie?"
My heart skipped a beat.I must've read that message five times before replying.
"Sure. What time?""Come around two."
From that moment on, time stopped making sense.Every minute until 2 p.m. felt like an eternity.I changed clothes three times, fixed my hair, checked the mirror, and still thought I didn't look good enough.
When I finally arrived and rang the bell, the door opened — and there she was.
She wore a simple dress, light blue, the kind that danced slightly with the air. Her hair framed her face perfectly, and the faint scent of something sweet — maybe vanilla — filled the space between us.
"Hi," she said softly, her smile shy but radiant.
"Hey…" I managed to say, my throat suddenly dry.
She had prepared popcorn and dimmed the lights a little. The movie playing was 5 Centimeters per Second — a love story that mirrored the slow, fragile closeness growing between us.
We sat on the couch, leaving a careful distance — the kind that feels safe but impossible to maintain.
Halfway through the film, she shifted slightly closer. My pulse quickened. Our arms brushed once… then again.
This time, neither of us moved away.
I could feel the warmth of her skin, the quiet rhythm of her breathing. Without really thinking, I lifted my arm and placed it gently around her shoulders.
She hesitated for a moment, then leaned in — resting her head against me.I could smell her perfume again. Sweet. Familiar. Addictive.
When I looked down, she looked up.Our eyes met — that kind of silence where words don't belong.
For a heartbeat, the world disappeared.And then, it happened.
Our lips met — hesitant at first, uncertain, like both of us were afraid to break something sacred.But then, the hesitation melted away.
Her hands found the back of my neck, pulling me closer.My arms tightened around her waist. The kiss deepened — soft, electric, unforgettable.
Her lips were warm, tender, tasting faintly of popcorn and something that felt like home.It wasn't just a kiss — it was the beginning of everything we hadn't yet said out loud.
When we finally pulled apart, both of us were breathless.She smiled — cheeks flushed, eyes glowing.
"Wow.""Yeah," I whispered, smiling back.
We laughed softly, then kissed again — longer, slower, like we had all the time in the world.The movie kept playing, forgotten in the background.
That afternoon, we didn't just share a first kiss.We shared something deeper — laughter, stories, moments that stitched our hearts a little closer together.
When it was finally time to leave, I walked to the door, turned back, and hugged her tight.
"Bye," I said quietly."See you soon," she replied.
As I walked away, I could still feel the warmth of her embrace, the echo of her laugh, and the taste of that first kiss lingering on my lips.
That day, I didn't just fall for her —I fell in love.
