The first kiss
For Oshare, the moment would be when she first kissed him. She had felt so full with emotions that night. She suddenly felt like the waves of an ocean were about to drown her soul. Her heart was like a bottle that was so full it could take no more, she wanted to topple over and reveal her secret desires to him. She was also very angry. He just acted so normal Sometimes she wondered if he truly had feelings for her or what exactly did she see in his eyes that night? When they got to the river that divides their journey, he stood under their favorite spot, the large baobab tree."So…goodnight. I’ll see you tomorrow""good night," she heard thundering from the cage in her chest. She knew she couldn’t let another night pass without letting him know."What are you doing tomorrow? Can I come to, "that was when she did it. Slowly without a warning, she drew his head closer to hers with her right hand and she put her lips to his. It was the briefest she had ever had. He pulled away so gently that she wanted to smack herself in the face for doing it anyway. Maybe he's one of those weird ones who prefer boys or maybe he wasn’t just attracted to her.But Oshare won't forget that night. She won’t forget the brisk way they turned their separate ways that night, the way her heart fluttered with a million melodies, the way the stars shone ever so brightly, the way she greeted Mathias cheerily at the gate even when she knew it was way past her curfew time. The way her bed seemed warmer and her sleep so heavenly. She just can't forget the night she first kissed Kofi Appiah.
