His golden eyes stared at me with longing.

The perfectness of his face must've blinded me for a second.

I stared back, looking at the depth of his eyes.

He inched closer and my breathing accelerated.

The smell of mint and something indescribable engulfed my senses.

He smelled wonderful.

His strong right hand held the back of my neck as our faces grew nearer to each other.

His other hand trailed the skin on my cheeks.

I wasn't breathing anymore.

The feeling was too much to bear.

And then his soft lips met mine.

My knees wobbled and he straightened me.

My body was completely pressed onto him.

I apologized as he leaned back only to see him smiling.

He said my name in a way he could only pronounce beautifully.

Esme…

He kissed me again.

I kissed him back.

It was our first and would never be forgotten.
