Part 4: A Spark on the Stairs & A Moment I’ll Never Forget

 Part 4: A Spark on the Stairs & A Moment I’ll Never Forget

The morning after that cold evening at the bus stop, I didn't see him. Truthfully, I was feeling so shy that I didn't even know how to face him!

For almost three days, I found myself quietly avoiding him, hiding whenever I thought he might be nearby. My heart was in such a state of confusion and excitement.

The Encounter on the Stairs

Finally, after three days of hiding, our paths crossed unexpectedly on the stairs.

The moment I saw him, panic and excitement hit me all at once. I didn't know what to do part of me wanted to turn around, and part of me wanted to run away! But he was so genuinely happy to see me. Without hesitating, he walked right up to me and kissed me, just like we were already a couple.

I couldn't believe it was happening. It was completely unexpected, but deep down, I loved every second of it. I kissed him back right there on the stairs.

Running for the Bus

Before we could even say a word, I realized what time it was! If I didn't leave that very second, I was going to miss my bus.

I pulled away and ran outside as fast as my feet could carry me. Thankfully, the bus was still waiting at the stop. I jumped inside, completely breathless, as the doors closed behind me.

As the bus pulled away, the reality of what had just happened began to sink in. I gently touched my lips with my fingers, desperately wanting to hold onto that sweet feeling forever.

Floating on Air

The bus ride home took about 45 minutes, but my mind was miles away. I couldn't bring myself to talk to any of my friends on the ride I just sat quietly, listening to the music of that special moment playing over and over in my head. A huge smile was plastered across my face the entire journey.
When I finally got home, I didn't want to wash my face or my hands, fearing I would wash the memory away. I was so full of emotion that I couldn't even eat dinner. I just lay in bed, staring at the ceiling with a smile that wouldn't leave my face, replaying that kiss in my mind all night long.
