I don't think I have ever read such an exciting story about a kiss before but you definitely scored here with this post. Your memory is still vivid after all these years and I wonder if you ever married this guy? Ha ha ha, good luck with the contest, I was entertained, this is well written and exciting, love Dolly x

    Hi Dolly!
    The reason it's so vivid in my memory is because it was only about 6 months ago haha. I'm still 22, although I'll be 23 in November. Although I can still pass for 16 because I'm very petite haha. I'm still with "Kaleb", actually! Still as happy as I was from day one.

    Thank you so much Dolly for your kind words. I feel like my life has very few stories that are noteworthy, so I had to really think hard to come up with something to submit for this contest. When I decided to write about my 1st kiss, I knew it wasn't the most exciting topic, but wanted to MAKE it exciting, nonetheless. Sounds like I was successful, which is great to hear! I'm glad you liked it and were entertained.

    If you liked this one, once the contest closes and my identity is revealed, I'd suggest checking out 3 more of my "I remember" type contest entries, "Ashlyn's Story", "How He Shattered the Mirror" (also about "Kaleb"), and "Falling For Fall Out Boy." Just a warning, "Ashlyn's Story" is a bit sad.

    Have a wonderful day Dolly, and thank you again 🖤

Your narrative about experiencing a first real kiss is beautifully written, capturing the intensity and vulnerability that often accompany such moments. The detailed descriptions of your emotions--ranging from excitement and anxiety to joy and pride--make the reader feel like they're right there with you, experiencing everything in real time. The way you describe Kaleb's impact on you, especially how his actions and words slowly build your confidence, is both touching and relatable.

The humor you inject into the piece, like when you mention your mind drinking an energy drink, adds a light-hearted tone that contrasts nicely with the more tender moments. It makes the story feel even more genuine and down-to-earth.
