OUR FIRST KISS 🙈🏃
..When he gave me his mother’s contact, he did so with so much seriousness. He said it was a rare privilege, one he did not offer lightly, because she was so dear to him and he hardly ever shared her number. In that simple expression, I sensed pride and tenderness intersecting but love carried me. It felt like being trusted with something so precious.
The next day, our phones hardly rested. We talked endlessly through text, words flowing back and forth until evening . With a mix of excitement and uncertainty, I finally gathered the courage to call his mother. I had rehearsed brief greetings in my mind, expecting a polite exchange that would last a minute or two at most, a few careful questions, a few respectful answers and then goodbye.
Instead, something unexpected happened. The conversation unfolded effortlessly, warm and easy, laughter slipping in naturally, stories weaving themselves into the space between us. When we finally said goodbye, I glanced at my phone in disbelief. We had spoken for over fifteen minutes, as though we had known each other for years rather than a moment.
A few days later, Mr Sorbe predicted that the price of crayfish might soon soar. Without hesitation, he rushed to Douala to secure a few bags and stock up. Beneath the practical decision was our shared excitement, the quiet thrill of planning a future that felt increasingly real. We were no longer just dreaming. We were imagining ourselves as a couple growing into the years ahead. The chemistry between us was undeniable, the bond strong and steady, tightening with every shared hope.
When he finally arrived, my emotions mixed all at once. I was excited and yet so shy, especially because the world around us believed we were siblings. The moment I saw him from afar, my heart skipped. I rushed inside and waited, breath held, nerves alive beneath my skin. As he stepped through the door, I quickly pulled the curtain closed behind him, my instinct to hide stronger than my courage to face him, but he was already reaching out for me.
Before the curtain was fully drawn, he wrapped his arms around me, holding me close with a tenderness that felt both protective and consuming. We stood there for a while, clinging to each other as if the rest of the world had dissolved. He gently adjusted my head against his chest and I felt his heartbeat, strong and echoing through me.
A faint masculine scent surrounded him, natural and inviting, softened by a trace of perspiration from the journey. It was a scent that lingered, one that seemed to pull me deeper into the moment.
Wrapped in the warmth of his embrace, we stood there still. Then he pulled back slightly, lifted my chin with his left hand and looked at me with an intensity that stole my breath.
In that quiet space between us, we stood so close that our breaths began to mingle and in that fragile pause, our hearts spoke louder than words. When we leaned in, it wasn’t urgency that guided us, but a tender certainty, an unspoken "Yes" we had both been waiting for.
Our FIRST KISS came quietly, like a secret the universe was finally ready to let us share.
When our lips met, they fit together without struggle, medium, tender and similar, as though shaped with this exact moment in mind. There was a gentle press, then a deeper surrender and suddenly we were no longer separate. Our lips moved in soft harmony, slow and instinctive, learning each other with reverence. The kiss grew warmer, wetter, fuller, not rushed, not demanding, just profoundly connected.
A wave of euphoria washed through us, starting from our lips and spreading everywhere at once. It felt dizzying and grounding all at the same time, like finding home and losing ourselves in it simultaneously. The world faded into nothing, there was only us, only we, wrapped in a moment so intimate.
In that kiss, we poured in everything we hadn’t yet said, our longing, our hope, our quiet devotion. And when we finally pulled back, still close enough to feel each other’s breath, we knew without doubt, that kiss hadn’t just touched our lips, it had sealed our hearts together.🫂
