"I am thinking maybe I should enter college in London. I love the English people." Vanilla is saying as we are sitting next to each other on her grandmother's couch. "Yeah, they are classy." I say. "Indeed they are." She says smiling. "Here you go, guys." Charlie says as he passes is ham sandwiches. "Thanks." I say as he places the plate on the coffee table. He sits between me and Vanilla. "This tree is amazing." Vanilla says as she looks at tree smiling. "Well, We did a pretty good job last night then, Coraline." He says as he passes me a smirk. I smirk back to him. "I might actually need help at decorating my own tree." I say as I take a bite from the delicious sandwich. "Can I help?" She asks all excited and happy. "No, No. it is a grown ups night." He says. I laugh lightly. "I am telling mom, that you're planning on sleeping with our neighbor if you don't take me." She says fiercely. I feel my cheeks gets hot. "Hey, you shouldn't be talking that way?" She says as he crosses his arms in front of his chest. "Oh come, how come you're still a virgin and I am not?" She says. I hold my laugh. I mean his little sister is not a virgin? Wow. Just, wow. "Hey and what are you smiling at? You didn't even have your first kiss yet." He says. Well, fuck. I am exposed now. "Oh my god. You both really need that night." She says all shook. "It doesn't matter." I say as I roll my eyes. "Yeah yeah." He says smirking at me. I hit him in his arm. "Ow. This is too violent." He says as he rubs the place where I hit him. A phone ring starts up. Turns out it's Vanilla's phone. "Hey, how are you, babe?" She says as she takes the phone call inside, leavening us both alone. "I can't believe she actually has a boyfriend." He says all jealous. "Hey she's beautiful." I say as I slide the last bite from my sandwich into my mouth. "Well, I am beautiful, too?" He says. I burst out laughing at his way of talking. "Yeah. We have to find you a boyfriend." I say while laughing. "Oh yeah?" He says. I nod, still laughing. He gets up. "You're gonna regret this!" He says as I feel his arms around my waist. He picks me up and places me on his shoulder, upside down. "Put me down!" I say as I place weak punches to his back. "Say sorry!" He says as he spins around. "No way!" I say as I start to feel the blood fill up my head. He spins even more. I am laughing so hard, that my stomach hurts. "Okay okay, I am sorry." I say at last through heavy breaths from laughing. He lets me down on the ground. He's on top of me. The only thing keeping us from colliding is his strong arms, that's keeping him up. We breath heavily against each other's faces. "You're unbelievable!" I say through the breaths smiling. "And you're unbelievably beautiful." He says smiling. I look at him. His face is so pleasant to look at. His eyes look so much better from up close. The burnt brown color fits a lot with that leaves like green color. It is such a beautiful mixture. "Charlie?" We hear his mother call from the kitchen. She walking our way. He gets up and helps me up as we hold out laughs. We sit on the couch like nothing ever happened. Even though we know something happened on this carpet.

I pass him a cup filled up with the wine I bought today. "Thanks." He says as he takes it. We are in my apartment. It is night. We just had dinner back at Miss Johns 's. His family are so nice. His father owns a supermarket back at New York. His mother helps him with the work. We didn't really talk about me. Which was better. Vanilla stayed back at the other apartment to talk to her boyfriend. He's placing the star on the top of the tree. I am sitting on the couch. Watching him. "And...done." He says as he picks up his cup and takes the last sip from it. "Want some more?" I ask as I get up to take his cup. "No, Thank you." He says. I walk into the kitchen. I place the cup on the table. "Can I ask you something?" He says. I turn to look at him. He standing against the door frame of the kitchen. His hands are resting into his pockets. "Yeah." I say as I wash the cups up. "Were you going to be okay, if I kissed you back there? On that carpet?" He asks. I am actually surprised by his question. I mean I don't. It is such a weird and hard question. I would be okay. It is just, I don't know if I am good at kissing or not? Maybe I suck at it? Maybe I don't? I don't really know. I have never kissed anyone before. "I don't know. Maybe." I say as I grab the towel and wipe my hands into it. He walks up to me. He takes the towel and places it on the table. He lets his hands into mine. I look up at him. I grab my hands from his. I just freaked out. I don't know if kissing him is the right thing. For the first time I don't really know if my feeling is right or wrong. My father always told me to fool my feeling, my guts. Right now I don't really know if they are right or not. This is so confusing and nervous. Maybe I just have to go for it and find out how it goes. My back is facing him. "I.. should probably leave." He says. That's my chance. I should live. I decide to leave. To be for once in my life, not that sad crow but a happy bird. I turn to him. I just press my lips against his, having my first kiss ever. My hands are pressed against his neck. I feel his hands on my waist. We pull from the kiss since the air in our lungs wasn't enough. But, Damn right I liked that. That felt so good. "Not bad for your first kiss." He says laughing lightly. I smile. We go in for another kiss that I am sure is much better than the last one.
