Jessica's POV:
Jaime stood in the doorway. We grew up together more like sisters and less like cousins. She may be the total opposite of me, but she was still my best friend.
It was that night again. I took a shower and put on pajamas consisting of blue, plaid, cotton pants and a light blue, wide strapped tank top.
She held the bottle of peppermint schnapps and two shot glasses in her hand. A folded little table was set up next to the bed.
Jaime looked exactly like me. We had a dimple in our cheeks. Hers was on the left and mine was on the right. We both had the same shade of blue eyes and platinum blonde hair. I don’t know how we’re cousins but look exactly the same.
She set the shot glasses down, opened the bottle and poured shots. She took hers and I took mine.
“So what are we going to toast our very first shot of the night too?” She asked with an amused smile. I didn’t know what to salute to. Nothing new has happened.
“To Jessica’s first kiss. I know you two kissed.” We clinked and downed our shots. Not to be nasty or anything but I love peppermint schnapps. I don’t mind the little burning down my throat.
D’Angelo took me on a date. Our first date since we met. He was nice and we talked and talked. He popped the question over one of the many video chats we did.
Of course I said yes. He looked absolutely hot. With the mixture of his blue eyes and long black hair that went to the middle of his back. Not to mention the man has muscles. Whenever we video chat he always made sure to show me that he’s wearing a shirt that hugged every muscle and I really wanted to touch them.
I constantly had to tell myself it’s only lust I feel. That lust was nothing more than anything s****l tension for me.
He picked me up around seven. He knocked and I opened. He was wearing a black v-neck tee that hugged every part of his upper body. A leather jacket. He had on Levi blue jeans that hugged his ass. His long jet black hair held back at the nape of his neck letting his hair flow down his back in waves.
I wore black Capri leggings, faded black mini jean skirt. Hot pink camisole with lace around the top and on the straps and around the bottom, and a light pink, see through, long sleeved top that hugged my body. I may be thirteen but I had hit puberty around the age of eleven so I had curves.
It was tough for my mom and aunt when both Jaime and I hit it at the same time. It was no picnic.
I had put my hair halfway up and did a light curl to the rest of my hair (though it was Jaime that did it) and she did my makeup. Just eyeliner on bottom and top of my eyelids, mascara. A little blush and some light pink lip gloss(bubblegum flavored).
He smiled as he took in the sight of me. I smiled nervously peeking up at him while clamping my hands together. I shifted into my flip flops and looked to see him wearing black Nikes.
He took both of my hands in his and brought my right knuckles to his lips kissing my middle and my ring knuckles.
It took me by surprise and my cheeks flushed red. But I seriously loved the gesture. It was all wordless actions. He tugged my hand and I followed him out the door closing it and locking it because no one was home.
He opened the door for me and helped me in which by now the gestures had my whole face red.
We went to dinner and we did talk. He held my hand and rubbing his thumb across my knuckles. I was smiling from ear to ear with bliss. It was an amazing night already.
“You ready for part two of the date?” He looked into my eyes with amusement glinting in them.
“There’s a part two?” I asked teasingly.
“Only for you,” he flirted kissing my right knuckles again.
He drove out to this huge field in the middle of the woods off a dirt road. He went to the trunk and grabbed two blankets, a body pillow and a speaker with an aux cord.
I followed him to the middle of the field. He laid a royal blue comforter on the ground first laying the body pillow down next.
He gestured for my to lay down. I complied. He took out his phone plugging it into the speaker and started softly playing some slow song I didn’t recognize. I looked up at the sky enjoying the beautiful s starry night sky. It was a new moon so the stars were shining brightly and you could see a nebula in the distance. It was big.
I felt a dip in the pillow. I looked over to see D’Angelo’s eyes pointed towards me sparkling from the night sky.
We stared silently, but a force pulled me closer to him. I was so close to him his breath warmed my face. He took the second blanket and pulled it over me. I kicked of my flip flops and he ditched his sneaker.
D’Angelo planned this entire night and this seemed to be the best part. This was so romantic.
We looked back at the stars enjoying the scene and I enjoy his warmth close to me.
I don’t know when or how, but I ended up snuggled into his chest hearing “Us Against the World” by Christina Millian. My hand lay on top of his heart feeling it beat.
“Can I tell you something?” I asked softly.
“You can tell me anything. No need to ask,” he said softly playing with my hair.
“I’ve never dated before, but I have to say this is the best date I’ve ever been on. Thank you.” I whispered at the end.
It was silent, but in that moment I couldn’t hold back. I sat up and looked into his eyes. Almost instantly he sat up on his right elbow. Cupping my cheek with his left. He trailed his hand back to the side of my neck to the back of my hair lacing his fingers into my hair.
Lightly he pushed my head forward and he moved up and met my lips. It was light at first. I had no idea what to do, but as he kept moving his lips against mine I found I moved against slowly. It felt amazing these little sparks kept popping where his lips touched.
He was fully sitting up, my head tilted up and straddling his legs. My hands gripping his very deliciously toned biceps. His hands cupping both my cheeks. His nose kept brushing my cheeks.
Then we pulled away from each other breathing the air to steady our lungs. His forehead against mine staring into my eyes.
My first kiss. It was the best kiss I ever had. The music had changed and “I Wanna Know” by Joe started playing.
I started to sing to him while we stared into each other’s eyes. He looked surprised that I could actually sing and that I was singing to him.
When the song ended it was about one in the morning. Sunday had rolled around without any warning. D’Angelo presses his lips to mine and lingered for five seconds before pulling away.
“I better get you home,” he said smiling softly.
“Yeah,” I replied hesitantly. He put his shoes back on and helped me up. I slipped my flip flops on and shivered because of the cold air. It was still fall and quite cold.
He noticed me shiver and removed his jacket and helping me put it on. He had taken it off but he had laid on it. It was warm and smelled of him. His cologne smells nice. He didn’t put too much on. It seemed a little was just enough.
He turned the music off, picking stuff up and we both headed to the car. I did offer to help carry stuff but he just said no adamantly. I didn’t fight it.
He drove me home and walked me to the door. I pulled off his jacket and handed it back to him. Instead of taking it he cupped my face and pressed his lips against mine again.
He finally pulled away smiling brightly and I matched his smile. He turned and walked down the steps. He stopped as I was about to open the door.
“By the way,” I turned towards him. “Your lips taste so sweet,” he turned and left me blushing furiously.
I sat there as Jaime poured another shot. I told her about my date play for play and she smiled brightly. Happy for me that I had my first kiss with such a hottie.
I took another shot. Smiling just thinking about how romantic that night was.
“So, do you have any new conquests?” I asked her playfully. She smiled with a glint of excitement.
“I do, but he will remain a secret for now,” she said then downed another shot and I followed.
We talked for a while and drank. Then she left my room. I laid down happily letting sleep overtake me.
