Ally has been dating Joel for nearly two months now and she is starting to get worried. He keeps trying to kiss her, but she keeps turning so that he can only kiss her on the cheek. He's nice enough that he doesn't say anything about it, but she knows that he is starting to think that something is up. The truth is that Ally still hasn't had her first kiss yet. She wants it to be special, but all the times that Joel tries to kiss her, it doesn't feel right to her.
Her friends have seen what this is doing to her because she keeps chewing on her hair, a habit they thought that she had kicked. Finally, Austin had enough. He grabbed her hair out of her mouth and was holding a pair of scissors to the pony tail she had. "Don't you dare, Austin." Ally screamed at him.
"Then stop chewing your hair and tell us what's wrong." Austin replied.
Ally let out a sigh, but agreed to his demands. "As you know, Joel and I have been dating for a couple months."
"Yeah, we know, he's all you seem to talk about." Trish replied.
"Well, for the past month he's been trying to kiss me."
"And you aren't letting him because you haven't had your first kiss yet." Dez stated as if it was the most obvious thing on the planet.
Ally, Austin, and Trish stared at him. "H-h-how did you know?" Ally asked.
"Oh, I know everything about your guys' love lives. For instance, I know that Austin's first kiss was actually with his cousin when he was five, though he will deny it and say that it was actually his first girlfriend, Jessica."
"Hey, you weren't supposed to say anything about that." Austin interjected.
"And for actual proof, Trish here had her first kiss when she was twelve. Her cousin was making fun of her because she never had a first kiss so she kissed the first random stranger she met."
Trish looked at him in shock, "How did you know that?"
"They don't call me the love whisperer for nothing." He said.
The three nodded in agreement. Ally interrupted the silence by saying, "Any way back to me, Dez is right. I haven't had my first kiss yet and I want it to be special, I just don't think Joel will because he thinks that I have kissed before. I am afraid that my kissing will end up being so bad that he will leave me for someone who is better and…"
Austin put his hand over Ally's mouth. "Ally, you need to relax. I doubt that you are that bad of a kisser. Besides, you'll never know until you do it."
"I know, but I am still worried because I don't know what to expect."
Austin sighed, "Look, Ally, we know that out of the four of us, I have kissed the most so I am going to tell you this flat out. Your first kiss isn't always the greatest one you ever have. Like Dez said, my first kiss was with my cousin. To be honest, until I met Stephanie who was my eighth girlfriend, that was my favorite kiss. I couldn't help but compare all the others to that one kiss I had when I was five years old. Another thing about kissing is that people say the first kiss will define the relationship, but they're wrong. My kiss with Stephanie was actually our eighth kiss. The others weren't bad; they just weren't as good as that one."
"Well what if I don't feel anything when he kisses me?" Ally asked.
"Ally, you won't necessarily feel anything your first couple kisses. You guys have only been dating for two months. My parents told me that they dated for nearly six months before they shared a kiss that made them both feel something. They both say that was when they realized they had found the one. They described it as this: when you are kissing them, you don't want them to stop, when they stop, you want them to start again, when they leave, you want them to come back, and when you sleep, you are reliving that kiss all over again." Austin answered.
Ally thought about it but the thought of her first kiss not being special still worried her. It must have been evident on her face because Austin sighed and said, "If it is worrying that much, then they only way to get you to stop is to have your first kiss."
Ally looked at him, "What do you mean?"
"I mean you have to give your kiss to someone else so that you can kiss him and see that your first kiss isn't as special as the next one."
"But I still want my first kiss to be special."
Austin sighed. He was obviously annoyed with this conversation. "Tell me how to make it special and I'll be your first kiss."
Ally was in shock. Austin, her best friend, was willing to be her first kiss just so that she would be comfortable kissing her boyfriend? He must have known what she was thinking because he said, "I am only doing this to show you that it isn't the timing that makes a kiss special but rather the person. When we kiss and you feel nothing and then you kiss Joel, you'll realize I was right."
Ally thought for a second, but then said, "Alright, I want a candlelight dinner and some slow dancing."
Austin looked at Trish and Dez. "We could do this in the practice room if you guys help."
Trish and Dez shrugged but agreed.
"Alright, we'll do it tomorrow instead of writing a song."
"Austin, you don't need to do that." Ally said.
"I know, but this way you don't have to lie to Joel, because he already knows that you and I write songs on Saturdays."
Ally nodded in agreement. The four then went their separate ways to prepare for tomorrow night.
