Trey took my hand and led me into his house. We went up to his room. “I wanted you give you something.â€? He pulled me inside, despite how hestiant I was, and started searching through his dresser.

He turned to face me, a little blue box in his hand. I couldn’t hold in my gasp when he opened it. Nestled on blue velvet sat a beautiful necklace with a pink rose charm.

Then he placed the striking necklace around my neck, fastening it. I whispered, “Trey, oh my god. It’s beautiful. Thank you … so much. I love it.â€?

I turned back to hug him, feeling my necklace between my fingers. “I’m glad you like. I mean, I figured you’d throw it in my face like the real rose I gave to you.â€? We laughed together at the memory.

“Yeah um sorry about that. Here, I’ll pay you back.â€? I leaned in slowly, kissed him and then moved away.

“Wait.â€? He whispered, pulling me closer where his lips found mine easily. His hands secured me to him and his lips pressed into mine. And finally we had that first kiss I’d been dreaming of.
