When I was in the fifth grade, I didn’t have many crushes up until this grade.  One beautiful afternoon, I was riding the school bus to my mom’s horse farm and two boys announced their crushes on me.

The younger of the two boys of whom had a crush on me, immediately started singing a popular song where the title is the same as my name, Angel.  Even though the singing flattered me, I was not drawn to the boy. 

It was difficult to choose between the boys, but I chose the elder of the two boys and invited the cute fifth grader to the horse farm on the following Saturday.  My crush showed up on that Saturday for our very first date.

We had a fun-filled day on my mom’s horse farm.  Our day included horseback riding and swimming in our above ground little 3 foot pool.  After an exhausting activity filled day, we were very hungry and decided to relax in the cool lounge in the barn.

In the lounge, we ate a nice lunch as we watched our cable-less TV that provided only one boring channel on the couch.  We realized that it was getting late in the afternoon, and we had spent the entire day really enjoying each other’s company.

I really liked this sweet young boy, Alex.  We looked into each other’s eyes and smiled at one another feeling a little embarrassed.  He leaned into me and asked very politely for permission to kiss me.

When my crush asked if he could kiss me, at first I blushed and then I replied “yes.” At this sweet moment I had my first kiss that lasted for about a minute. My first kiss was quite exhilarating and then I felt like I was in love.           

            My first kiss was one of the most precious moments of my life and I would not take back this instant for anything. I enjoy romantic kisses often, I will always cherish and remember this charming childhood memory.
