Who and Where?

It was the end of 7th grade, I was in a class of 11 girls and 4 boys. I was the new kid in the school, while everyone knew each other from kindergarten, I just knew them from the beginning of the school year. He was the most popular guy in the class, and every girl at one point wanted him. Even though he was the 'popular, playboy' type of guy, he had an amazing personality, and loves the little kids. It was after school, on a warm sunny spring day. We were the only ones left to be picked up, and our parents where able to make it for another couple of hours. I've had a crush on him ever since I met him.

How Did it Happen?

We were sitting on the picnic tables outside of our class room. He was on his iPod, and I was sitting there waiting. My heart was racing, just having him sit from the table opposite of me. Then, a unexpected thing happened. "Would you like to go to the swings?" he asked putting his iPod down. I looked up suddenly, "Yeah, that'd be nice." We walked to the swings, my heart was beating so loud, so fast. I was afraid he'd be able to see and hear it. I sat on the swing next to him, and we didn't really swing much. He asked questions about me, and I asked some about him. Soon we were running around playing 'catch me' and we fell over in the grass laughing together. I sat up, cross legged and poked at the grass. I felt his breath on my neck, it sent goose bumps up my spine. I looked over to see him sitting next to me, staring into my eyes. I all but melted from intensity of the stare, he had the most beautiful eyes, and I loved his face. I could go on and on about him. I dropped the gaze, and my long dirty blonde hair fell over my face, hiding me. We sat like that for a while until he lift the hair off of my face and coaxed my head into his lap, playing with my hair. I smiled looking up at him. It seemed like he was thinking something over in his mind, like he couldn't make up a choice. He would lean into me, but then stop. Then he looked at me, and held his gaze for a while, and he did it. He leaned in slowly, till I felt his breath on my face, and then our lips touched. I swear a spark flew, and after a few seconds, our innocent kiss turned into a wild deep kiss. I tackled him to the ground releasing my held up emotions for him. It went on for a while like that, us rolling over each over each other. Then it slowly, ended and I stayed on top of him, closing my eyes, and resting. "Cara, I like you. I noticed it from day one. You were different. You never drooled over me like the other girls, and you treated me like everybody else." He said, into my ear. "I've been crazy for you since the first day of school. I never knew I'd have a chance with you, against all the other girls." I said. We were out of sight from our parents cars, and his parents arrived first to pick him up. We heard his car honk, and he got up, giving me a hug before running off. We are married now, at the age of 22. I'm pregnant with a baby girl. We both remember the golden day of our first kiss. I love him. He loves me.
