We were sixteen. I could tell by the way he kept looking at me that this was the big moment. I reached into my pocket and quickly applied my Dr. Pepper Lipsmackers on my dramatic pout- a move I saw on a Nickelodeon show. I remember being more impatient that nervous. I mean come on; I was totally the only 16 year old in the entire world without their first kiss.

I knew, without a doubt in my naive little heart, that this night was about to be epic. Fireworks would sprout right from where we were standing on the dock and rain down the sky. Jake would wrap his arms around my waist all Freddie Prince jr. style and my foot would "pop" better than that dumb whore Sarah Michelle Gellar. A herd of mother freakin' swans would swim across the lake in heart shaped unison. I would be able to just barely hear the violins over my crazy fast beating heart.

Of course, none of that happened.

It was awkward and clumsy and messy and….kinda gross.

But this? This second first kiss?

Yeah….it's better than fireworks.

At first Edward is soft and hesitant, holding my face with both hands like he's afraid I'll break away. I let him take the lead, mostly because I'm too shocked to even move, and just feel the way he molds my lips over and over.

But then it gets bolder, like months of pent up frustration and attraction are bursting between our mouths. It's hard but sweet at the same time, and when his hands move from my cheeks to thread though my hair my brain finally kicks into overdrive and I push back. My lips are moving like I'm desperate… or maybe he's the desperate one… but either way we're desperately trying to get more.

And then it all stops.

I make a sound that I refuse to admit is a whine and keep my eyes closed shut, waiting for my more.

But after seconds or minutes I finally sigh and slowly open my eyes. There isn't that ashamed face I'm prepared for, just that crooked little grin.

Cocky bastard.


Obviously this is just another teaser. My goal is to have this story finished by January 18th (yeah right), and hopefully this little bit will get my fingers moving.
