"WOW" he said.

So my boyfriend, let's call him kind-hearted, and I were spending some time at his house. My closest sister and her boyfriend were there too and we were all hanging out. again. We started playing video games like guitar hero and super smash brothers. which was pretty fun. until it wasn't and then we decided to put in a movie. It was kind of a weird, but good movie with a "what the hell were they thinking leaving us hanging like that?!?!?!" ending. I did manage to pay attention to it even though kind-hearted was cuddling with me. So after this movie we all decided to go upstairs and play a few more video games such as rock band (similar to guitar hero, but with more intruments and parts) that I kicked butt on the drums and some combat game that I didn't take part in because I already knew (from previos attempts) that I couldn't play well enough to not end up constantly shot down. So I read a chapter of my book while kind-hearted played and kicked everyone's butt at a game he had practically mastered. As I read, I half paid attention and cheered and laughed at them. Now this is the good part of my story...



Kind-hearted had been talking to me about how he hasn't yet had a kiss and how he wants his first kiss to be. He told me that he wanted it to be in the rain. Now we had been planning to hang out on tuesday since the past weekend and late sunday night (while we were talking on myspace) he sent me a weather report showing me that there were supposed to be thunderstorms on tuesday and under the link he wrote "So what do you think?"



This was one of the many questions that he had asked me that night, because we had been (again) playing the game of truth...which is just like truth or dare...without the dare. I had been the first one to actually bring up the conversation of kissing in the first place about a week before(but that is another story entirely...). So on tuesday after this combat game we finally decide on another movie to watch and I believe it was "Dungeons and Dragons" a kind of weird adventure quest kind of movie with a similar ending as the last one we watched. When we were downstairs before there had been two couches and we got on one while my sister and her boyfriend were on another. This time though we were upstairs and now they had stolen the couch and we got to share this huge chair. Before he starts the movie though...he looks outside and says "It's raining a little. I thought I heard it." He looked at me. It was funny that anyone who saw him say this and didn't know that he had wanted to kiss me in the rain could totally take it as him just randomly talking about the weather, but my cheeks were all flushed and we were both smiling. We didn't end up going outside though and we started to watch the movie...


Now before I go on...kind-hearted is always smiling and happy, it is really hard to see this guy frown (and kind of sad when he does). I was his friend for over a year before I was his girlfriend and I can probably count on one hand how many times I have seen kind-hearted upset or sad. So I wasn't surprised that as I was sitting next to him and holding him and messing with his hair that he kept smiling at me (and I at him). As my mom always says "It's not worth it if it isn't fun...", and kind-hearted is always fun to be around and makes you smile. I've known this about him and is one of the many things I love about him.

Another thing is that previous to kind-hearted I have had two boyfriends, and both of them were lousy, sloppy, and meaningless kissers. I have spoken my peace. I felt that I only kissed them because we both figured it was "the next step" and not something we both wanted because we had fallen for each other and that it is a wonderful thing to have when you love and admire that other someone. I always felt at pressure with the other two...and tended to not want to be with them. With kind-hearted though...I feel at ease when I think of him and miss him often (even when he isn't with me he is constantly making me smile). So I have been wanting to kiss him...but I wanted it to be when he wanted it.

Now as we were sitting there watching this movie I knew a few times as he looked at me that he wanted to kiss me. I mean it was getting that vibe. But I figured this wasn't what he had asked for and he wanted to kiss in the rain...so I ignored his signals and would turn away and just kind of giggle or smile. I wasn't uncomfortable though...I was still just trying to give him what he had asked for, but then he looked at me that way again and didn't really give me a chance to stop him. So we kissed. It was gentle and sweet and there was just something behind that kiss that felt so...pure. I had never thought of a kiss that way before and now I know what the movies are talking about. He was smiling as usual and totally happy to be cuddled close to me (just as before). We probably watched another twenty minutes of the movie before we kissed again. This time is wasn't just one kiss, but many gentle, pure, sweet kisses. I was messing with his hair and trailing my finger on his face, and when we stopped he said "WOW". I smiled. I said "WOW what?" and he replied "Just....WOW. that was amazing." and he did a kind of goofy grin and rested his head on my shoulder. a minute went by as I though about how amazing I thought he was and how this was definitely the most meaningful and special moment I have had with anyone romantically. I didn't tell him this though and then he says "I'm glad my first kiss was with you."

I first almost took this as an insult...like he was just getting started with kissing girls and that I would just be the first. But then I thought about it more, and realized that he was just glad that his first kiss had been with me and had been, as he put it, "amazing". I then thought that it most likely wasn't something that was rarely said when a guy gets his first kiss. But then.....after that amazing moment and that pure feeling those words seemed very meaningful and like a huge compliment. "I'm glad my first kiss was with you" suddenly had a deeper meaning. It didn't matter if others had used those words just to say them...because I know that kind-hearted had deeply meant them. I could feel those words...they became embedded into that pure feeling. After that movie...kind-hearted said "let's watch another movie...we might be able to finish before I have to take you guys home." and we did watch another movie. Transformers, though, I had already seen before, and I didn't even get to finish the ending before he had to take me and my sister home.

I called kind-hearted tonight and we talked for about an hour and then fell into kind of a silence (which we have also talked about and we both agreed that we don't really mind it) and we decided after about thirty minutes of silence between each other because we were kind of doing other things (he was watching TV with family and I was eating dinner), we decided to play truth again. And eventually we got brave enough to talk about yesterday. I had asked what his favorite part about yesterday was... and he told me "that although kissing you was amazing I thought that being able to hold you all night was my favorite part." (Awww, did I say that I love him?) He had asked me why I had had like the kiss, after I had finally owned up to him that I though it was the best kiss I had had....ever. I also said that it felt meaningful and deep. that I thought it was pretty WOW too. (and I didn't tell him this but to me it wasn't just the surface of to pairs of lips touching but two souls that had been coming together and had finally touched and known each other's true feelings. that is pretty much what it felt like. what I had been wanting it too feel like.) I think I can finally say that I know what a "hollywood movie kiss" feels like. We didn't have music swelling and fireworks, but we had each other and that was it...and it was awesome. He told me after I asked him on the phone tonight "what was so wow about it?".....well all he could say (in a quiet kind of embaressed voice) "I don't know it was just amazing..(5 second pause)..chills went up my spine." I wish he could have seen me smile. I laughed though. He's told me he loves my laugh.

Well, that was my kiss with kind-hearted and I just felt that I should put it out there. I don't know if anyone has felt anything like this before...or if it's a common thing for people who feel really close to someone to experience...maybe that's why I wrote it all down...so I could find out.
I mean I kissed a guy....AND I LIKED IT!!!! That is and amazing step for me, and an amazing pure moment with one of the greatest and happiest people I know, admire, and even love.
