Ugly Duckling

Noah kissed me.

On the lips.

It was great
amazing perfect beautiful

His mouth was warm and tasted like Cherry chapstick.

It was a taste I could get used to.

But I was so nervous.

I'd only ever been kissed once before.

By Ryan Davis.

Behind the big tree on the playground.

I don't like to count my father's kisses.

They were awful.

Those kisses made me ugly.

But this one?

From Noah Roberts?

From someone who'd spent the whole evening at my side, telling me how pretty I looked in my new sundress?

Yeah.

This one made me feel beautiful.

Finally.
