We’re standing in front of the building entrance, and I’m about to leave for my class, when Rebecca takes my hand, intertwining them with my own, and pulls me in for a kiss.
In this split second, I was alarmed – I don’t even like this girl (never mind love) and she was already wanting a kiss on the lips?! My brain did a split-second pros and cons chart, and I realized that there was no harm in kissing a girl you didn’t like, right? Maybe, just maybe, it could bring our relationship to a whole new level.
So I let her. I didn’t pull away when she pulled me in for that kiss, not even when her hands were on my waist, nor when her lips met mine. Her lips were soft like flower petals, and tasted of sweet cherries.
I’ll admit – I expected some spark to happen, but it didn’t.
I felt nothing.
The moment we parted, I realized I had imagined another kiss with Amelia. But she (Rebecca) wasn’t Amelia – not even close – and could never replace her.
