You ok? I asked, trying to break the deafening and uncomfortable silence.

Yeah. Im fine thanks.

You wanna sit here? We could spread the blanket here. We could get a good view of the fireworks later.

Here is good.

We spread the blanket and say down. I didnt like the silence and discomfort between us. Not after the way our conversation went this morning. Did I do something wrong? I asked as I looked out to the stage. I mean if I did you would tell me right?

No you didnt do anything wrong. Im just Im I dont know how to say this.

Just say it. You can talk to me.

I dont think I can tell you this.

I understand. We stayed in silence for the greater part of the evening, just briefly commenting on things around us. The guest bands played and we were waiting for the fireworks display to start. When it started the sky lit up in the most beautiful colours. Angelicas child like excitement was very enthralling and I couldnt help but steel glances of her.

Eventually she sat back down next to me, her attention still on the fireworks. I had my own fireworks. But it was not the one in the sky. It was the beautiful girl sitting next to me. I didnt realise I was staring at her. Wow Gina, this is so beautiful, absolutely breathtaking.

Yes it is. I remarked still looking at her. You are so beautiful, Annie. I finally got her attention. She blushed. Obviously. But the good thing was that she didnt run. Our eyes met. I wanted so badly to kiss her. For the first time in my life I was scared. I actually cared if I hurt the other person. Im *****. And I am also a player. I hate to think of myself as such, but I have been through so many women in my short time here. I have had one-night stands. My longest relationship was two weeks. But there is something different about Angelica. I actually want to know her, spend time with her. I actually like her.

**Angelica***

When my eyes made four with Ginas, I felt my heart skip a beat and my stomach did this summersault. She started leaning into me and I had no idea what to do. I have never kissed anyone and I wanted so much for this to go perfect. After all it was my first kiss. Should I tell her that I dont know what Im doing? Or should I just play along and hopefully she wont notice. Too late for that. Before long her lips were on mine. It started off with just her lips on mine. Soft and gently she rest her lips on mine. It last a second or so, then she pulled away. There was an unspoken request for permission to continue and I replied by placing my lips on hers. She placed her hand on my cheek and the kiss deepened. She opened my mouth with her tongue. I gasped, and she pulled away. Are you ok? she asked as she caressed my cheek.

Ive never kissed anyone before.

Do you want me to stop?

No.
